Appendix 1 - Risk Factors
The principal risks and uncertainties relating to HBOS plc are
set out on pages 7 to 10 of the Annual Report. The following is
extracted in full and unedited form from the Annual Report.
At present the most significant risks faced by the Group
are:
Credit
Definition: The risk of reductions in earnings and/or value,
through financial loss, as a result of the failure of the party
with whom the Group has contracted to meet its obligations (both on
and off balance sheet).
Features: Arising in the retail, wholesale and wealth and
international operations, reflecting the risks inherent in the
Group's lending activities and to a much lesser extent in the
insurance operations in respect of investment of own funds. Adverse
changes in the credit quality of the Group's UK and/or
international borrowers and counterparties, or in their behaviour,
would be expected to reduce the value of the Group's assets and
materially increase the Group's write-downs and allowances for
impairment losses. Credit risk can be affected by a range of
factors, including, inter alia, increased unemployment, reduced
asset values, increased personal or corporate insolvency levels,
reduced corporate profits, increased interest rates or higher
tenant defaults. Over the last three years, the global banking
crisis and economic downturn has driven cyclically high bad debt
charges. These have arisen from the Group's lending to:
- Wholesale customers (including those in wealth and international
operations): where companies continue to face difficult business
conditions, resulting in elevated corporate default levels, illiquid
commercial property markets and heightened impairment charges.
The Group has high levels of exposure in both the UK and internationally,
including Ireland, USA, and Australia. There are particular concentrations
to financial institutions and commercial real estate, including
secondary and tertiary locations.
- Retail customers: this portfolio will remain strongly linked to
the economic environment, with inter alia house prices falls, unemployment
increases, consumer over-indebtedness and rising interest rates
all likely to impact both secured and unsecured retail exposures.
The Group follows a through the economic cycle, relationship
based, business model with risk management processes, appetites and
experienced staff in place.
Legal and regulatory
Definition: Legal and regulatory risk is the risk of reductions
in earnings and/ or value, through financial or reputational loss,
from failing to comply with the laws, regulations or codes
applicable.
Features: Legal and regulatory exposure is driven by the
significant volume of current legislation and regulation within the
UK and
overseas with which the Group has to comply, along with new or
proposed legislation and regulation which needs to be reviewed,
assessed and embedded into day-to-day operational and business
practices across the Group as a whole. This is particularly the
case in the current market environment, which is witnessing
increased levels of government and regulatory intervention in the
banking sector.
At the time of the acquisition of the Company by Lloyds Banking
Group the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) identified some competition
concerns in the UK personal current accounts and mortgages markets
and for SME banking in Scotland. The OFT reiterated that it would
keep these under review and consider whether to refer any banking
markets to the Competition Commission if it identifies any
prevention, restriction or distortion of competition.
The UK Government appointed an Independent Commission on Banking
to review possible structural measures to reform the banking system
and promote stability and competition. That commission will publish
its final report by the end of September 2011. The Treasury Select
Committee is conducting an examination of competition in retail
banking. It is too early to quantify the potential impact of these
developments on the Group.
From April 2011, lead regulation and supervision of the Group's
activities will begin transitioning from the FSA to the new
Financial Conduct Authority for conduct of business supervision
and the Prudential Regulatory Authority for capital and liquidity
supervision. In addition, from 2011, the European Banking
Authority, the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions
Authority and the European Securities and Markets Authority as new
EU Supervisory Authorities are likely to have greater influence on
regulatory approaches across the EU. These could lead to changes in
how the Group is regulated and supervised on a day-to-day
basis.
Evolving capital and liquidity requirements continue to be a
priority for the Group. In September 2010 and further clarified in
December 2010, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision put
forward proposals for a reform package which changes the regulatory
capital and liquidity standards, the definition of 'capital',
introduces new definitions for the calculation of counterparty
credit risk and leverage ratios, additional capital buffers and
development of a global liquidity standard. Implementation of these
changes is expected to be phased in between 2012 and 2018.
Lloyds Banking Group is currently assessing the impacts of these
regulatory developments and will participate in the consultation
and calibration processes to be undertaken by the various
regulatory bodies during 2011. The insurance operations are
progressing its plans to achieve Solvency II compliance. Lloyds
Banking Group continues to work closely with the regulatory
authorities and industry associations to ensure that it is able to
identify and respond to proposed regulatory changes and mitigate
against risks to the Group and its stakeholders.
There is a risk that certain aspects of the Group's business may
be determined by the authorities or the courts as not being
conducted in accordance with applicable laws or regulations, or
with what is fair and reasonable in their opinion. The Group may
also be liable for damages to third parties harmed by the conduct
of its business.
Liquidity and funding
Definition: Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Group
has insufficient financial resources to meet its commitments as
they fall due, or can only secure them at excessive cost.
Funding risk is defined as the risk that the Group does not have
sufficiently stable and diverse sources of funding or the funding
structure is inefficient.
Features: Arising in the banking business of the Group through
its retail, wholesale and wealth and international operations
reflecting the risk that the Group is unable to attract and retain
either retail, wholesale or corporate deposits or issue debt
securities. Like all major banks, the Group is dependent on
confidence in the short and longer term wholesale funding markets;
should the Group, due to exceptional circumstances, be unable to
continue to source sustainable funding and provide liquidity when
necessary, the Group's ability to fund its financial obligations
could be impacted.
The key dependencies for successfully funding the Group's
balance sheet include the continued functioning of the money and
capital markets; successful right sizing of the Lloyds Banking
Group balance sheet; the continuation of HM Treasury and Bank of
England facilities to Lloyds Banking Group in accordance with the
terms agreed; limited further deterioration in the UK's, Lloyds
Banking Group's and the Group's credit ratings and no significant
or sudden withdrawal of deposits resulting in increased reliance on
wholesale funding markets. A return to the extreme market
conditions of 2008 would place a strain on the Group's ability to
meet its financial commitments.
Additionally, the Lloyds Banking Group has entered into a number
of EU state aid related obligations to achieve reductions in
certain parts of its balance sheet by the end of 2014. The
requirement to meet this deadline may result in the Group having to
provide funding to support these asset reductions and/or disposals
and may also result in a lower price being achieved. Liquidity and
funding risks are managed within a board approved framework using a
range of metrics to monitor the Group's profile against its stated
appetite and potential market conditions.
Market Risk
Definition: The risk of reductions in earnings and/or value,
through financial or reputational loss, from unfavourable market
moves; including changes in, and increased volatility of, interest
rates, market-implied inflation rates, credit spreads, foreign
exchange rates, equity, property and commodity prices.
Features: Market risk is managed within a Board approved
framework using a range of metrics to monitor the Group's profile
against its stated appetite and potential market conditions.
The principal market risks are as follows:
There is a risk to the Group's banking income arising from the
level of interest rates and the margin of interbank rates over
central bank rates. A further banking risk arises from competitive
pressures on product terms in existing loans and deposits, which
sometimes restrict the Group in its ability to change interest
rates applying to customers in response to changes in interbank and
central bank rates.
The main equity market risks arise in the life assurance
companies and staff pension schemes. Credit spread risk arises in
the life assurance companies, pension schemes and banking
businesses. Equity market movements and changes in credit spreads
impact the Group's results.
Continuing concerns about the scale of deficits in Ireland and
southern European countries resulted in increased credit spreads in
the areas affected, and fears of contagion affected the Euro and
widened spreads between central bank and interbank rates.
The Group's trading activity is small relative to its peers and
is not considered to be a principal risk.
Insurance Risk
Definition: The risk of reductions in earnings and/or value,
through financial or reputational loss, due to fluctuations in the
timing, frequency and severity of insured/underwritten events and
to fluctuations in the timing and amount of claims settlements.
Features: The major sources of insurance risk are within the
insurance businesses and the staff defined benefit pension
schemes.
Insurance risk is inherent in the insurance business and can be
affected by customer behaviour. Insurance risks accepted relate
primarily to mortality, longevity, morbidity, persistency,
expenses, property and unemployment.
The prime insurance risk carried by the Group's defined benefit
pension schemes is related to longevity.
Insurance risks typically, and longevity in particular, may
crystallise gradually over time. Actuarial assumption setting for
financial reporting and liability management requires expert
judgement as to when evidence of an emerging trend is sufficient to
require an alteration to long-run assumptions.
Customer treatment
Definition: The risk of regulatory censure and/or a reduction in
earnings/value, through financial or reputational loss, from
inappropriate or poor customer treatment.
Features: Customer treatment and how the Group manages its
customer relationships affects all aspects of the Group's
operations and is closely aligned with achievement of the Group's
strategic aim - to create deep long lasting relationships with its
customers. There is currently a high level of scrutiny regarding
the treatment of customers by financial institutions from the
press, politicians and regulatory bodies.
The FSA continues to drive focus on conduct of business
activities and has established a new approach to supervision of
Conduct Risk, replacing the previous 'Treating Customers Fairly'
initiative for retail customers. Under this new regime the FSA has
indicated that it will seek to place greater emphasis on product
governance and contract terms in general, and will seek to
intervene much earlier in the product lifecycle to prevent customer
detriment. The FSA also continues to carry out thematic reviews on
a variety of issues across the industry as a whole, for example
complaints handling. Lloyds Banking Group actively engages with the
regulatory authorities and other stakeholders on these key customer
treatment challenges, which includes for example, PPI (see note 51
of the financial statements).
The Group has policies, procedures and governance arrangements
in place to facilitate the fair treatment of customers. Since the
acquisition of HBOS, the Group has made significant progress in
aligning its approach to Treating Customers Fairly across both
heritages. In addition the Group has aligned its Treating Customers
Fairly governance and management information arrangements, with
customer impact being a key factor in assessing every integration
proposition. The Group regularly reviews its product range to
ensure that it meets regulatory requirements and is competitive in
the market place.
People
Definition: The risk of reductions in earnings and/or value,
through financial or reputational loss, from inappropriate
colleague actions and behaviour, industrial action, legal action in
relation to people, or health and safety issues. Loss can also be
incurred through failure to recruit, retain, train, reward and
incentivise appropriately skilled staff to achieve business
objectives and through failure to take appropriate action as a
result of staff underperformance.
Features: The Group aims to attract, retain, and develop high
calibre talent. Failure to do so presents a significant risk to
delivering the Group's overall strategy and is affected by a range
of factors including:
- Ongoing regulatory and public interest in remuneration practices;
- Delivery of Lloyds Banking Group's integration commitments; and
- Uncertainty about EU state aid requirements and the Independent
Commission on Banking's proposals for banking reform.
The Group's remuneration arrangements encourage compliant and
appropriate behaviour from colleagues, in line with group policies,
values and short and long term people risk priorities. The Group
has continued to work closely with regulators to seek to ensure
compliance with our obligations. However, there is recognition that
international consensus must be achieved to avoid UK institutions
being significantly disadvantaged in attracting and retaining the
highest calibre talent.
The Group continues to manage union relationships actively and
the majority of colleagues are now on harmonised Terms and
Conditions. There is strong ongoing commitment to support and
retain colleagues throughout a period of significant integration
and organisational change. Active monitoring of the Colleague
Engagement Survey, allows the Group to understand engagement
levels. These continue to increase and are now exceeding industry
benchmarking for high performing organisations.
The Lloyds Banking Group is closely engaged with the UK
Government and regulators on reform proposals, and with the EU on
disposal arrangements, to influence and manage colleague
uncertainty.
Integration
Definition: The risk that the Group fails to realise the
business growth opportunities, revenue benefits, cost synergies,
operational efficiencies and other benefits anticipated from, or
incurs unanticipated costs and losses associated with, the
acquisition of HBOS plc by Lloyds Banking Group plc.
Features: The integration of the two heritage organisations
continues to be one of the largest integration challenges that has
been seen in the UK financial services industry. While there
continue to be delivery risks to the programme, not least the risk
of new regulatory requirements which may have an effect on
resourcing, the Group is now two years into the integration
programme and has a fully developed and functioning governance
framework to manage these risks. There is a clear understanding of
the phased deliverables to ensure effective delivery through to
2012.

HM Treasury
In January 2009, HM Treasury became a related party of Lloyds
Banking Group plc, the Company's ultimate parent company, following
its subscription for ordinary shares issued under a placing and
open offer. As at 31 December 2010, HM Treasury held a 41 per cent
interest (December 2009: 43 per cent) in Lloyds Banking Group plc's
ordinary share capital and consequently HM Treasury remained a
related party of the Company and its subsidiaries throughout
2010.
Capital transactions
During 2010 there were no further subscriptions by HM Treasury
for Lloyds Banking Group plc's ordinary or preference share
capital, with the decline in the percentage of ordinary shares held
by HM Treasury reflecting the issuance by Lloyds Banking Group plc
of ordinary shares.
Lending commitments
On 23 March 2010, Lloyds Banking Group plc entered into a deed
poll in favour of HM Treasury, the Department for Business,
Innovation and Skills and the Departments for Communities and Local
Government confirming its lending commitments for the 12 month
period commencing 1 March 2010. Lloyds Banking Group plc agreed,
subject to, amongst other things, sufficient customer demand, to
provide gross new lending to UK businesses of GBP44,000 million and
to adjust
the undertakings (but not the level of lending agreed in 2009)
given in connection with lending to homeowners for the 12 month
period. This additional lending is expressed to be subject to the
Group's prevailing commercial terms and conditions (including
pricing and risk assessment) and, in relation to mortgage lending,
the Group's standard credit and other acceptance criteria.
Credit Guarantee Scheme
HM Treasury launched the Credit Guarantee Scheme in October 2008
as part of a range of measures announced by the UK Government
intended to ease the turbulence in the UK banking system. It
charges a commercial fee for the guarantee of new short and
medium-term debt issuance. The fee payable to HM Treasury on
guaranteed issues is based on a per annum rate of 50 basis points
plus the median five-year credit default swap spread. At 31
December 2010, the Group had GBP6,030 million (2009: GBP8,725
million) of debt issued under the Credit Guarantee Scheme. During
2010, the Group redeemed GBP2,695 million of bonds. The Group's
income statement includes fees of GBP89 million (2009: GBP236
million) payable to HM Treasury in respect of guaranteed
funding.
There were no other material transactions between the Group and
HM Treasury during 2010 that were not made in the ordinary course
of business or that were unusual in their nature or conditions.
Other related party disclosures
At 31 December 2010 there were customer deposits of GBP35
million (2009: GBP39 million) and investment and insurance contract
liabilities of GBP850 million (2009: GBP320 million) related to the
Group's pension arrangements.
The Group manages 291 (2009: 273) Open Ended Investment
Companies (OEICs), and of these 65 (2009: 61) are consolidated. The
Group invested GBP613 million (2009: GBP859 million) and redeemed
GBP239 million (2009: GBP714 million) in the unconsolidated OEICs
during the year and had investments, at fair value, of GBP4,317
million (2009: GBP3,589 million) at 31 December. The Group earned
fees of GBP42 million from the unconsolidated OEICs (2009: GBP30
million). The Company held no investments in OEICs at any time
during 2009 or 2010.
The Group provides both administration and processing services
to its principal joint venture, Sainsbury's Bank plc. The amounts
receivable by the Group during the year were GBP31 million (2009:
GBP34 million), of which GBP8 million is outstanding at the year
end (2009: GBP10 million). At 31 December 2010, Sainsbury's Bank
plc also had balances with the Group that were included in loans
and advances to banks of GBP1,277 million (2009: GBP1,218 million)
and deposits by banks of
GBP1,358 million (2009: GBP1,405 million).
At 31 December 2010 there were loans and advances to customers
of GBP5,660 million (2009: GBP12,235 million) outstanding and
balances within customer deposits of GBP151 million (2009: GBP254
million) relating to joint ventures and associates.
The Group has a number of associates held by its venture capital
business that it accounts for at fair value through profit or loss.
At 31 December 2010, these companies had total assets of
approximately GBP4,713 million (2009: GBP11,816 million), total
liabilities of approximately GBP4,199 million (2009: GBP12,106
million) and for the year ended 31 December 2010 had turnover of
approximately GBP744 million (2009: GBP8,766 million) and made a
net profit of approximately GBP164 million (2009: net loss of
GBP557 million). In addition, the Group has provided GBP1,406
million (2009: GBP5,245 million) of financing to these companies on
which it received GBP19 million (2009: GBP140 million) of interest
income in the year.
Taxation: Group relief was surrendered for no payment, as per
note 14.
