4 CHANGE OF YEAR END


In order to align with the financial reporting penod of the ultimate parent undertaking, the Company has changed its
reporting penod end from 30 September to 31 December Accordingly the financial statements include 15 months of
operations and cashflows to 31 December 2009, and are therefore not directly comparable to the amounts disclosed

The loss after taxation for the penod amounted to £1,178m (year ended 30 September 2008 loss £83m) This loss
reflects higher provisioning levels along with foreign exchange losses incurred on the Yen financing arrangement

Company as detailed in Note 6

7 DIVIDEND
| The directors do not propose the payment of a dividend in respect of the penod (year ended 30 September 2008 £ Nil)
i
| 8 GOING CONCERN
The Company's business activities have been severely impacted by the current financial and economic crisis resulting in
a substantial loss for the penod as detailed in the Management Report The directors consider that the outlook remains
difficult due to the current economic climate and the impact on our clients businesses which are pnmarily involved in
the property industry in the UK

Consequently, this has a significant impact on the Company's future performance including the need for continued support
1
by AIBC due to the uncertainty over future trading results as detailed below Details of the nsk management and the
policies, governance and analysis of nsks in the Company are detailed in Note 28 to the financial statements, in particular
details of the nsk management oversight by the AIBC Group of the Company, demonstrating how the Company and |
AIBC are reducing risk in the organisation

The assessment by the directors is underpinned by the fact that the ultimate parent company, AIBC, continues to support
the Company This includes the provision of a Letter of Support from AIBC which confirms assistance in meeting the
Company's liabilities as and when they fall due at least until 31 July 2011 In addition in the past year the Company
' has benefited from a substantial injection of capital from CDB (U K ) Limited ("CDB") of £1 billion Subsequent to this in
December 2009, AIBC agreed to irrevocably waive £200 million of intercompany lending to the Company, resulting in an
additional capital contribution of £200 million to the shareholders funds of the Company This demonstrates the
continued substantial support the Company is receiving from its parent company, CDB, and its ultimate parent company, |
AIBC :

The Company does not maintain any liquid assets itself and places all surplus funds with and draws any required funds
from AIBC Consequently the Company relies totally on AIBC for the ongoing daily supply of liquidity and funds to enable
the Company to function which has operated effectively throughout the penod and continues to do so to the date of
this Directors' Report

The Company is also subject to a range of nsks and uncertainties which are detailed in the Management Report

The directors of the Company have also considered the financial statements of AIBC for the 15 month penod to 31
December 2009 which have been prepared on a going concern basis and the assessment which the directors of AIBC
reached in the preparation of its financial statements

The assessment by the director's of AIBC is underpinned by the Irish Minister for Finance's (Minister) consistent
statements that the Insh Government will ensure the continued viability of all systemic financial institutions,
including AIBC, in a manner which is consistent with EU state aid rules In making this assessment the directors of AIBC
considered the potential impact of the following nsk factors and uncertainties which could affect the future
performance and financial position of AIBC the Insh National Asset Management Agency (NAMA) process on the group
(see Note 29), liquidity nsks, credit quality, regulatory capital, EU state aid considerations and political factors
impacting both the AIBC Group and the industry The timing of the NAMA asset transfers and the discount applied to the '
valuation are an important consideration Liquidity nsk considerations take into account the AIBC Group's ability to
continue to access wholesale and money market lines, the ability to continue to access essential central bank and other
special funding facilities, potential re-finance nsks and the impact of forecast customer funding balances Credit
quality will largely follow trends in the main economic environments in which the AIBC Group operates, which are
uncertain In addition, decisions by regulatory authorities, the EU or the body politic could adversely impact on AlBC's
ability to continue as a going concern

i
ANGLO IRISH ASSET FINANCE PLC

DIRECTORS REPORT continued

8 GOING CONCERN continued


Notwithstanding the existence of such uncertainties, the directors of AIBC in making the determination have taken into
account the following mitigating factors the capital injection of €4bn in 2009 into AIBC by the Minister, the
Minister's letter of 22 December 2009 which restated his previous commitments in relation to ensunng that the Bank has
sufficient capital to continue to meet its regulatory capital requirements, the subsequent receipt of a promissory note
to the value of €8 3bn in fulfilment of the Minister's commitment, the forecast receipt of senior NAMA bonds in 2010
which will be liquidity enhancing, the improving outlook for both the UK and US commercial property markets, and the
introduction of measures by the Irish Government to improve liquidity including the Irish Government guarantee
introduced in September 2008 and the Credit Institutions Eligible Liabilities Guarantee Scheme ('the ELG Scheme')
introduced in December 2009 As a result the directors of AIBC are satisfied that it is appropnate that the AIBC
Group's financial statements continue to be prepared on a going concern basis

On the basts of the above assessment by the directors of AIBC and the preparation of its group financial statements for
the 15 months ended 31 December 2009, which were published on 31 March 2010, the directors of the Company have
a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources, or will be able to obtain adequate resources
from AIBC in terms of additional funding and/or equity, to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future
Thus, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements

9 FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
The directors will continue to closely monitor the performance of the Company, more details of which are set out
in the Management Report In addition, AIBC is a participating institution in the Irish National Asset Management Agency
(NAMA), further details of which are set out in Note 29 It is expected that the Company will transfer loans with a gross
value of £3,166m in the next 12 months to NAMA See Note 35 for further details

All directors will continue in office in accordance with the articles of association Gordon Parker served as secretary
throughout the penod The directors and secretary had no interests in the shares of the Company dunng the penod

11 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The directors of the Company utilise vanous financial instruments in the normal conduct of the Company's business,
pnmanly in order to mitigate the interest rate nsk ansing from the Company's operations It is the Company's policy to
hedge all Capital Market instruments which are raised at a fixed rate of interest in order to match the income from
lending assets which is normally linked to 3 month LIBOR /EURIBOR It is also the Company's policy to ensure that
foreign currency assets and liabilities are matched to avoid foreign exchange nsk on an after tax basis Further details

MANAGEMENT REPORT (Continued)

Lending and asset quality (continued)

The worsening of the economic environment »n 2009 has led to significantly increased specific impairments However,
there has been a reduction in the collective impairment provision due to the very detailed review and analysis of the
loan portfolio The collective provision is determined in line with the detailed policy set out in Accounting Policy 1 8

Cumulative balance sheet provisions on loans and advances to customers at 31 December 2009, total £217m which
amounts to 13 08% of the closing loan book

Cumulative balance sheet provisions on assets classified as held for sale at 31 December 2009, total £864m which
amounts to 27 3% of the closing loan book

The economic outlook has been very challenging throughout the penod, although there have been signs of economic
improvement in the last three months No significant improvement has been assumed by the directors over the next
number of years

The following are the key highlights regarding asset quality at the penod end date

Japanese Yen financing arrangement

Trading losses
Japanese Yen financing arrangement
Details are given in Note 5 of the audited financial statements of a financing arrangement, entered into in
May 2008, whereby the Company exchanged a portion of its funding from a Sterling basis to a Yen basis The
arrangement was structured such that the CDB (U K ) Limited and its UK subsidianes ("UK Group") and therefore the
ultimate parent AIBC would benefit from the differential between Sterling and Yen interest rates and the potential downside
from a foreign exchange nsk perspective was mitigated by an offset on the UK group's taxation line The arrangement had
had a positive impact on the UK group's and therefore the ultimate parent's profit for the year ended
30 September 2008 The arrangement was ended in December 2008 and January 2009, as the strengthening
of Yen against Sterling in the penod has negatively impacted trading income from foreign exchange contracts
by £613m (2008 £101m) for the Company, which is reduced by related foreign exchange gains in other UK group
companies of £457m (2008 £77m), resulting in a net negative impact in profit before tax of the UK group, and
therefore the ultimate parent of £156m (2008 £25m) In the six months to March 2009 the arrangement resulted in a
pre-tax loss of £156m and after tax benefit of £14 9m However, because of the significant operating losses incurred by
the Company and the AIBC Group in the nine months to 31 December 2009, £84m (2008 £Nil) of the taxation benefit has
not been recognised, resulting in a pre-tax loss for the fifteen month penod to 31 December 2009 of £156m (2008 £24m)
and an after tax cost of £69m (2008 gain £4 9m) The potential benefit of these losses carried forward is a component
of unrecognised deferred tax assets in Note 19

Repurchase of certain subordinated liabilities and other capital instruments

Gain on repurchase of financial liabilities at amortised cost


The Company recognised gains of £324m (2008 Nil) on the repurchase of £401 m (2008 Nil) nominal value of
undated loan capital recorded in subordinated liabilities and other capital instruments (Note 23) as part of the
overall capital management activities of the AIBC Group These instruments were bought back at 27% of par

The net gain of £324m results from consideration paid of £108m and the carrying value of the secunties
repurchased of £401 m Included in the gain is £31 m pnmanly in relation to the release of hedge accounting
fair value adjustments following termination of the related interest rate swaps

Subordinated liabilities and other capital instruments

Subordinated liabilities and other capital instruments 1,536 1,725

On 30 July 2009, the Company completed the purchase of certain of its own capital instruments including the
purchase of £181 million of the £200 million 8 5325% Step-up Callable Perpetual Capital Secunties ('Secunties')
at a purchase pnce of 27% of par

On 30 July 2009, the Company completed the purchase of certain of its own capital instruments including the
purchase of £221 million of the £250 million 7 625% Tier 1 Non Innovative Capital Secunties (TONICS') at a
purchase pnce of 27% of par

The European Commission, as a condition of its approval of the Government's capitalisation of AIBC in mid 2009,
required that no further coupon payments be made on any of the AIBC Group's Tier 1 Secunties following the
payment due on the Company's TONICS on 23 July 2009 The Company continues to accrue the related interest
cost in the Statement of Comprehensive Income for the Secunties and the TONICs due to the cumulative
nature of the distnbutions from these instruments

In December 2009 the Board resolved that the coupon on the Company's £200 million 8 5325% Step-up Callable
Perpetual Capital Secunties, which has the benefit of a subordinated guarantee from AIBC which would have been
paid on 28 December 2009, would not be paid The effect of this decision was to tngger the "Dividend and Capital
Restnction", the provision of which preclude the Company and/or the Guarantor (AIBC) from declanng, paying or
distnbuting a dividend or making a payment on any of its ordinary share capital, its preference share capital or its
Tier 1 Securities, or make any payment on a Tier 1 Guarantee until such time as the deferred coupon is satisfied

In addition, given the vanous conditions required for the payment of distnbutions on the Undated Loan Capital,
including the requirement for the positive reserves of both the Company and the AIBC Group, and
notwithstanding the conditions prescnbed by the European Commission, it is not expected that distnbutions
will be paid on either the Company's or other AIBC Group's Tier 1 secunties for the foreseeable future

Other loans and receivables


On 30 July 2009, the Company purchased the following other Tier 1 Secunties issued by fellow AIBC
Group entities
- €403 million nominal of the €600 million Fixed rate / Vanable rate Guaranteed Non-voting Non-cumulative
Perpetual Preferred Securities issued by Anglo Irish Capital UK LP The Company paid €l09m
- €526 million nominal of the €600 million Fixed rate / Floating rate Guaranteed Non-voting Non-cumulative

- £344 million nominal of the £350m Fixed rate / Floating rate Guaranteed Non-voting Non-cumulative
Perpetual Preferred Securities issued by Anglo Irish Capital UK (3) LP The Company paid €93m

These are classified as loans and receivables as they are not traded in an active market and they have fixed and
determined payment dates

Share Capital and Reserves


On 18 November 2008 the authonsed share capital of the Company was increased to £3,300m by the creation
of 3,000,000,000 ordinary shares of £1 each On the 18th November 2008, 1,000,000,000 ordinary shares were
issued at par and subscribed by CDB (U K ) Limited for a consideration of £1bn, thereby increasing ordinary
share capital by £1,000m to £1,220m

During the penod AIBC irrevocably waived £200m of loans due by the Company to AIBC through a deed of waiver
This has resulted in a capital contribution reserve in the Company further increasing the shareholders funds of the

2 PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Company is subject to a vanety of nsks and uncertainties in the normal course of its business activities The
Disclosure Rules and Transparency Rules of the Financial Services Authonty require a descnption of the
pnncipal nsks and uncertainties facing the Company

The Board of Directors of the Company has ultimate responsibility for the governance of all nsk taking
activity and as a wholly owned subsidiary of Anglo Irish Bank Corporation Limited (AIBC) relies significantly on the
framework established by AIBC to manage risk throughout the AIBC Group Details of the nsk management policies
and processes that the Company adopts are contained in Note 28 to the financial statements

The pnncipal business risks and uncertainties below are those risks which the Directors currently believe to be
material to the Company The precise nature of all the risks and uncertainties that the Company faces cannot be
predicted and many of these risks are outside the Company's control The principal risk and uncertainties outlined
below should be read in conjunction with the Management Review of Business Performance

General economic conditions

The Company's results are influenced by general economic and other business conditions The economic outlook
remains challenging in the Company's key markets the UK and mainland Europe These markets have experienced
higher unemployment, reduced consumer and business confidence and a contraction tn housing markets, all of which
have contnbuted to a decline in economic growth

Global financial markets deteriorated dramatically after the bankruptcy filing of Lehman Brothers in September 2008
Despite measures taken by governments and the European Central Bank to stabilise the financial markets, the volatility
and disruption of the capital and credit markets continued through the first half of the year Together with the
significant declines in the property markets in Ireland, the United Kingdom and the United States these events have
contributed to significant write-downs of asset values by financial institutions and lending organisations, including the
Company

These write-downs have caused many financial institutions and other lending organisations to seek additional capital,
to merge with larger and stronger institutions, to be nationalised and, in some cases, to fail Reflecting concern about
the stability of the financial markets generally and the strength of counterparties, many lenders and institutional
investors have substantially reduced and, in some cases, stopped their funding to borrowers, including other financial
institutions

The results of the Company and of AIBC have been adversely affected by the deterioration in general economic
conditions in the economies in which they operate, as well as by the decrease in the availability, and increased costs,
of funding While recent economic forecasts are being revised upwards, any such growth is expected to be modest and
slow, which may affect the Company's and AIBC'S future earnings and financial condition

NAMA

In April 2009 the Insh Government announced the establishment of the National Asset Management Agency
('NAMA') for the purposes of acquiring certain assets from Irish banks including their subsidiaries, holding, managing
and realising those assets and facilitating the restructuring of credit institutions of systemic importance to the Insh
economy On 9 February 2010, AIBC applied to be designated as a participating institution in NAMA This application
was accepted by the Insh Minister for Finance on 12 February 2010 Consequently this requires the Company to also
participate in NAMA

12
ANGLO IRISH ASSET FINANCE PLC

MANAGEMENT REPORT (Continued)

2 PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES (continued)

The NAMA Act provides for the acquisition by NAMA from participating institutions of eligible bank assets, which
may include performing and non-performing loans made for the purpose, in whole or in part, of purchasing,
exploiting or developing development land, loans associated with those loans and loans the secunty for which
is or includes development land or an interest in a company engaged in the business of purchasing or exploiting
such land

The Company does not have full control over the nature, number, timing and valuation of the assets that are to be
transferred A significant discount on the pnce that NAMA will pay for the portfolio of loans could impact the
Company's ability to meet its financial obligations without further support from AIBC

The Company may be required to indemnify NAMA in respect of various matters, including NAMA's potential
liability ansing from any error, omission or misstatement on the part of the Company of information provided to
NAMA

Notwithstanding the uncertainties outlined above, the transfer of assets to NAMA is a fundamental part of the AIBC
Group's restructunng process upon which the Company relies upon for financial support and will serve as the
pnmary mechanism for de-leveraging the balance sheet, reduce nsk exposure and providing additional liquidity
Clearly, any potential delay in the NAMA process will impact on the timing of such benefits

Restructunng of AIBC Group

Financial support provided by the Irish Government to the AIBC Group is subject to review by the European
Commission ('EC') under EU state aid rules The AIBC Group has submitted a restructunng plan to the EC
and the review of that plan by the EC is ongoing The EC will consider whether the plan demonstrates the AIBC
Group's long-term viability, that the AIBC Group (and its capital holders) make an appropriate contribution to
the restructunng costs from their own resources and that measures are taken to limit distortions of
competition ansing from the financial support provided by the Insh Government to the AIBC Group

No decision in relation to the form of the restructunng has been announced by the EC The EC may require the
AIBC Group to limit its operations or restnct its commercial activities in such a way that could have a material
adverse effect on the results of its operations, financial condition and future prospects and consequently have a
material adverse effect on the result of the Company's operations, financial condition and future prospects

Liquidity nsk

Liquidity nsk is the risk that the Company does not have sufficient funds available at all times to meet its
contractual and contingent cash flow obligations This is a fundamental nsk to the Company as the Company does
not maintain any liquidity itself and is required by AIBC to repay any surplus funds to AIBC each day as part of the
central AIBC Group Treasury management of liquidity Consequently, all funding needs for the Company rely on
the continued ongoing support of AIBC which has been confirmed as available until at least 31 July 2011 Any
changes in the ability of AIBC to raise funding or maintain liquidity could have a matenal adverse effect on the
Company's results, financial conditions and future prospects

ANGLO IRISH ASSET FINANCE PLC

MANAGEMENT REPORT (Continued)

2 PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES (continued)

Liquidity risk - AIBC

This nsk is inherent in all banking operations and can be affected by a range of institution-specific and market-wide
events The AIBC Group's liquidity may be adversely affected by a number of factors, including significant
unforeseen changes in interest rates, ratings downgrades, higher than anticipated losses on investments and
disruptions in the financial markets generally

The cnsis in the global financial system has resulted in a penod of significant turbulence and uncertainty, with
unprecedented levels of illiquidity, resulting in considerable problems at many financial institutions The terms on
which funding is available has also become more onerous and expensive

While liquidity in wholesale markets improved in the second half of the year, the perception of counterparty and
country risk has remained high This negative perception has led to reductions in, and increased costs of,
wholesale funding Accordingly, in common with many other banks, the AIBC Group's access to traditional
sources of liquidity has been constrained In addition, negative sentiment towards the Insh market has created
additional funding challenges for Insh institutions This has resulted in an overall reduction in liquidity and the AIBC
Group has increased its recourse to liquidity schemes provided by central banks as a result

In response to major market instability and illiquidity, governments and central banks around the world have
intervened in order to inject liquidity and capital into, and to stabilise, financial markets, and, in some cases, to
prevent the failure of systemically important financial institutions These vanous initiatives to stabilise financial
markets are subject to revocation or change, which could have an adverse effect on the availability of funding to
the AIBC Group AIBC is a participating institution in both the guarantee scheme pursuant to the Credit Institutions
(Financial Support) Act 2008 and the Credit Institutions (Eligible Liabilities Guarantee) Scheme 2009 The financial
position of the AIBC Group could be impacted by the termination, amendment or cancellation of these schemes or
the removal of the AIBC Group from the schemes, pnor to their termination

Furthermore, the AIBC Group relies on customer deposits to meet a considerable portion of its funding
requirements and those deposits are subject to fluctuation due to certain factors, such as a loss of confidence,
reputational damage or competitive pressures which could result in a significant outflow of deposits within a short
period of time The availability of commercial deposits is often dependent on credit ratings and any further
downgrade could limit the AIBC Group's liquidity and therefore increase liquidity risk

Within the banking industry the default of any institution could lead to defaults by other institutions Concerns
about or a default by, one institution could lead to significant liquidity problems, losses or defaults by other
institutions because the commercial soundness of many financial institutions may be closely related as a result
of their credit, trading, cleanng or other relationships This nsk is sometimes referred to as "systemic nsk" and may
adversely affect financial intermediaries, such as cleanng agencies, clearing houses, banks, securities firms and
exchanges, with which the AIBC Group interacts on a daily basis, which could have an adverse effect on the
AIBC Group's ability to raise funding and on the AIBC Group's results, financial condition and prospects
This in turn is likely to have a significant adverse effect on the Company's results, financial condition
and prospects due to the continuous support the Company requires from AIBC

MANAGEMENT REPORT (Continued)

2 PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES (continued)

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of suffering financial loss, should any of the Company's customers or counterparties fail to
fulfil their contractual obligations to the Company The pnncipal credit nsk that the Company faces anses mainly
from loans and advances to customers

Adverse changes in the credit quality of the Company's borrowers, counterparties and their guarantors, or adverse
changes ansing from the general deterioration in global economic conditions have reduced the recoverability on
certain of the Company's assets and have increased the quantum of impaired loans and impairment charges
during the period

The Company has exposures to a range of customers in different geographies, including exposures to investors in
and developers of commercial and residential property Property pnces have shown significant declines throughout
the last year and developers of commercial and residential property are facing particularly challenging market
conditions, including substantially lower prices and volumes In addition, the Company's exposure to credit risk is
exacerbated when the collateral it holds cannot be realised or is liquidated at prices that are not sufficient to
recover the full amount of the loan that is due to the Company, which is most likely to occur dunng penods of
illiquidity and depressed asset valuations, such as those currently being expenenced

The Company's asset quality deteriorated significantly in the 15 months to 31 December 2009 Property markets
were severely impacted by a lack of confidence and liquidity which has led to a significant reduction in property
values across all of the Company's markets This together with an extremely difficult operating environment in the
Company's markets, and the rapid erosion of the Company's clients' net worth has resulted in a substantial
deterioration in the asset quality of the Company's loan book

There is continuing uncertainty surrounding the depth of the slowdown in the global economy and the direction of
property markets While there are signs that the global economic downturn is bottoming out, any recovery is
expected to be slow

Operational risk

Operational nsk is the nsk of loss arising from inadequate controls and procedures, unauthonsed activities,
outsourcing, human error, systems failure and business continuity Operational nsk is inherent in every business
organisation and covers a wide spectrum of issues The Company's management of its exposure to operational
risk is governed by a policy prepared by the AIBC Group Risk Management and approved by the AIBC Group Risk
and Compliance Committee The Company relies exclusively on the employees, processes, systems and activities
of AIBC in order to manage its loan book and business

Capital risk

Capital risk is the risk that the Company has insufficient capital resources to remain solvent The Company's ability
to maintain its capital level could be affected by a number of factors, including the price NAMA will pay for the
portfolio of loans to be transferred and the credit quality of the Group's loan portfolio following the NAMA
transfer If the Company needs to strengthen its capital position it will necessitate further capital
contnbutions from AIBC which will be dependent on the capital and liquidity position of AIBC

15
ANGLO IRISH ASSET FINANCE PLC

MANAGEMENT REPORT (Continued)

2 PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES (continued)

Market risk

Market nsk is the risk that the Company's earnings will be adversely affected by changes in the level or volatility of
market rates or pnces such as interest rates, credit spreads, commodity pnces, equity pnces and foreign exchange
rates Changes in interest rates and spreads may affect the interest rate margin realised between lending and
borrowing costs Changes m interest rates are mitigated by the fact that almost all the Company's lending assets
and funding liabilities are priced off market related rates with no asset pricing tied to official central bank rates This
ensures there is no structural interest rate pricing basis risk in the Company's balance sheet

Litigation risk

The Company's business is subject to the risk of litigation by customers, employees, shareholders or other third
parties through private actions, class actions, administrative proceedings, criminal proceedings or other litigation
The outcome of any such litigation, proceedings or actions is difficult to assess or quantify The cost to defend
future proceedings or actions may be significant There may also be adverse publicity associated with any such
litigation, proceedings or actions that could impact the Company and result in a decrease in customer acceptance
of the Company's services, regardless of whether the allegations are valid or whether the Company is ultimately
found liable As a result, such litigation, proceedings or actions may adversely affect the Company's business,
financial condition, results, operations or reputation

Other risks

The Company must at all times comply with all relevant laws and good practice guidelines Non compliance can
give to reputational loss, legal or regulatory sanctions or material financial loss

3 IMPORTANT EVENTS SINCE THE PERIOD END

See Note 35 for further details on important events since the financial reporting date

4 FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

The directors will continue to closely monitor the performance of the Company

The directors intend that the Company will continue to provide existing committed lending to existing clients
secured upon assets in the United Kingdom and in Europe The Company has future comitments to lend of £ 128m
(2008 £703m), to be funded by further facilities from AIBC - London branch However this will be closely managed
in the current very uncertain environment to ensure that only cntical lending is advanced, in order to mitigate
the Company's and AIBC Group's credit nsk

5 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT


The directors of the Company utilise vanous financial instruments in the normal conduct of the Company's
business, pnmanly to mitigate the interest rate nsk ansing from the Company's operations It is the
Company's policy to hedge all capital market instruments which are raised at a fixed rate of interest in order to
match income from lending assets which is normally linked to 3 month LIBOR /EURIBOR Risk management

Notes to the financial statements

1 Accounting policies

1.1 Compliance with IFRS


The Company is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in England and Wales

The financial statements have been presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards
as adopted by the European Union ('IFRS') and applied in accordance with the Companies Act 2006, as applicable at
31 December 2009

1.2 Basis of preparation


The financial statements have been prepared under the histoncal cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of
certain assets and liabilities to the extent required or permitted under accounting standards as set out in the relevant
accounting policies They are presented in sterling

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of certain assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosures of contingent
assets and liabilities Since management's judgement involves making estimates concerning the likelihood of future
events, the actual results could differ from those estimates Some estimation techniques involve significant amounts of
management judgement, often in areas which are inherently uncertain The estimation techniques which are considered
to be most complex are in the areas of impairment of financial assets and the fair value of financial assets and
liabilities Further detail is provided in Note 1 20 of these Accounting Policies

The Company's business activities, together with the factors likely to affect its future development, performance and
position are set out in the Management report on pages 7 - 1 7 In addition, Note 28 to the financial statements includes
the Company's objectives, policies and processes for managing its capital, its financial risk management objectives,
details of its financial instruments and hedging activities, and its exposure to credit nsk and liquidity risk

As descnbed in the Directors' Report on page 2 - 5 , the current economic environment remains difficult and the Company
has reported a substantial loss for the year The directors consider that the outlook presents significant challenges in
terms of borrowers ability to service debt as the majonty of the Company's lending is to borrowers in the commercial
property sector

Further details of the Principal nsks and uncertainties affecting the Company are set out in Note 28 of the Financial
Statements Section 8 of the Directors' Report sets out a detailed assessment of the Company and its ability to
operate as a going concern

Based on this assessment, the financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis

In order to align with the financial reporting penod of the parent undertaking, the Company has changed its reporting
period end from 30 September to 31 December Accordingly the financial statements include 15 months of operations
and cashflows to 31 December 2009, and are therefore not directly comparable to the amounts disclosed for the pnor
penod

1 3 Adoption of new accounting standards


From 1 October 2008 the Company adopted the following standards
- Amendment to IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements

The Company has early adopted Amendments to IAS 1 which resulted in certain changes in the names and presentation of
the financial statements
ANGLO IRISH ASSET FINANCE PLC

Notes to the financial statements continued

1 4 Interest income and expense recognition


Interest income and expense are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive income for all interest-beanng
financial instruments using the effective interest rate method
The effective interest rate method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or liability and of
allocating the interest income or interest expense over the relevant penod The effective interest rate is the rate that
exactly discounts the expected future cash payments or receipts throughout the expected life of the financial instrument
or, when appropnate, a shorter penod, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability

The calculation includes all fees, transaction costs and other premiums and discounts that are an integral part of the
effective interest rate on the transaction

Once an impairment loss has been recognised on an individual asset, interest income is recognised on the unimpaired
portion of that asset using the rate of interest at which its estimated future cash flows were discounted in measunng
the impairment

1 5 Fee and commission Income


Fees and commissions which are not an integral part of the effective interest rate are generally recognised on an accruals
basis over the period that the service has been provided

Loan commitment fees for loans that are likely to be drawn down are deferred {together with related direct costs) and
recognised as an adjustment to the effective interest rate on the loan once drawn

Commitment fees in relation to facilities where drawdown is not probable are recognised over the term of the commitment

1 6 Financial assets
Financial assets are classified into the following categones financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and
receivables, and available-for-sale financial assets Management determines the classification of its investments at initial
recognition

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss


This category has two sub-categones, financial assets held for trading, and those designated at fair value through
profit or loss at inception A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired pnncipaliy for the purpose of selling in
the short term or if so designated by management These assets are earned at fair value

A financial asset may be designated at fair value through profit or loss in the following circumstances
a) it eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognises inconsistency that could otherwise anse on them
on different bases, or

b) a group of financial assets, financial liabilities or both is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair
value basis, in accordance with a documented nsk management or investment strategy, or

c) a financial instrument contains one or more embedded denvatives that significantly modify the cash flows ansing
from the instrument and would otherwise need to be accounted for separately

Denvatives are classified as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges Interest on financial assets
at fair value through profit and loss held on own account is included in net interest income Other gains and
losses ansing from changes in fair value are included directly in the statement of comprehensive income within trading
losses/profits

1 6 Financial assets (continued)


Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-denvative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an
active market They arise when the Company provides money to a counterparty with no intention of trading the receivable
Loans and receivables are initially recognised at fair value, including direct and incremental costs, and are subsequently
carried on an amortised cost basis The best evidence of the fair value at initial recognition is the transaction pnce (i e
the fair value of the consideration given or received)

Available-for-sale financial assets


Available-for-sale financial assets are those intended to be held for an indefinite penod of time, which may be sold in
response to needs for liquidity or changes in interest rates, exchange rates, asset pnces or other factors
Available-for-sale financial assets are initially recognised at fair value, plus transaction costs, and are subsequently
earned at fair value with gains and losses recognised as a separate component of shareholders' equity

Financial assets are initially recognised at fair value plus directly attnbutable transaction costs, with the exception of
financial assets earned at fair value through profit or loss whose transaction costs are taken directly to the Statement of
Comprehensive Income Financial assets are derecognised when the nghts to receive cash flows from the financial
assets have expired or where the Company has transferred substantially all the nsks and rewards of ownership
Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently earned at
fair value Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments are subsequently earned at amortised cost using
the effective interest rate method

The fair values of financial assets quoted in active markets are based on current bid pnces For unquoted financial
assets or where the market for a financial asset is not active, the Company establishes fair value by using valuation
techniques These include the use of prices obtained from independent third party pricing service providers, recent
arm's length transactions, reference to other similar instruments, discounted cash flow analysis, option pneing
models and other valuation techniques commonly used by market participants

In the current penod and previous year, with the exception of derivatives, all financial assets are classified as loans
and receivables

1 7 Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value, being their issue proceeds (fair value of consideration received)
net of transaction costs incurred Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at either amortised cost or fair value
through profit or loss All liabilities, other than those designated at fair value through profit or loss, are subsequently
earned at amortised cost Any difference between proceeds net of transaction costs and the redemption value is
recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income using the effective interest rate method

A liability may be designated at fair value through profit or loss when

a) it eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency, 'an accounting mismatch', that
would otherwise anse from measunng assets and liabilities or recognising the gams and losses on them on
a different basis, or

b) a group of financial liabilities is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance
with a documented nsk management or investment strategy, or

c) it contains one or more embedded denvatives, that significantly modify the cash flows ansmg from the instrument
and would otherwise need to be accounted for separately

1 7 Financial liabilities continued


The classification of an instrument as a financial liability or an equity instrument is dependent upon the substance of
the contractual arrangement Instruments which carry a contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial asset
to another entity are classified as financial liabilities Interest on these instruments are recognised in the Statement of
Comprehensive income as an expense Other gains and losses ansing from changes in fatr value are included directly
in the Statement of Comprehensive Income within trading losses/profits

Preference shares and other subordinated capital instruments are classified as financial liabilities if coupon payments
are not discretionary Distnbutions on these instruments are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive income as
interest expense using the effective interest rate method Distnbutions on the undated loan capital continue to be
recognised as an interest expense even if they are not paid due to the impact of other similar instruments issued by Anglo
Irish Bank Corporation Limited or its subsidiary entities where their conditions impact on the undated loan capital issued
by the Company The terms of the undated loan capital requires that the distnbutions are cumulative in the event of non
payment in any penod

Where undated loan capital issued by the Company is acquired by the Company, the amount of undated loan capital is
reduced by the amount of such instrument acquired by the Company Similarly, the interest expense is reduced by the
amount of interest income due on the undated loan capital acquired by the Company

1 8 Impairment of financial assets


Provision is made for impairment of financial assets to reflect the losses inherent in those assets at the balance
sheet date

The Company assesses at each financial reporting date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a
portfolio of financial assets is impaired A financial asset or portfolio of financial assets is impaired and impairment
losses are incurred if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more loss events
that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset ('a loss event') and that loss event (or events) has had an
impact such that the estimated present value of future cash flows is less than the current carrying value of the
financial asset, or portfolio of financial assets, and can be reliably measured

Objective evidence that a financial asset, or a portfolio of financial assets, is impaired includes observable data that
comes to the attention of the Company about the following loss events

i significant financial difficulty of the issuer or obligor,


n a breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or pnncipal payments,
in the granting to the borrower of a concession, for economic or legal reasons relating to the borrower's financial
difficulty that the Company would not otherwise consider,
iv it becomes probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation,
v the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties, or
vi observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a
portfolio of financial assets since the initial recognition of those assets, although the decrease cannot yet
be identified with the individual financial assets in the portfolio, including
- adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers in the portfolio, or
- national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on the assets in the portfolio

The Company first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are
individually significant, and individually or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant
An additional incurred but not reported ("IBNR") collective provision is required to cover losses inherent in the loan
book where there is objective evidence to suggest that it contains impaired loans but the individual impaired loans
cannot yet be identified Further detail on the estimation techniques used to calculate IBNR is provided in Note 1 20
of the Accounting Policies
ANGLO IRISH ASSET FINANCE PLC

Notes to the financial statements continued

1 8 Impairment of financial assets continued


An IBNR impairment provision represents an intenm step pending the identification of impairment losses on an
individual asset in a group of financial assets As soon as information is available that specifically identifies losses
on individually impaired assets in a group, those assets are removed from the group Assets that are individually
assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is, or continues to be, recognised are not included under
the collective assessment of impairment

For loans and receivables, the amount of impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying
amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset's onginal effective interest rate
If a loan has a vanable interest rate, the discount rate for measunng any impairment loss is the current effective
interest rate determined under the contract The amount of the loss is recognised using an allowance account and the
amount of the loss is included in the Statement of Comprehensive income

The calculation of the present value of the estimated future cash flows of a collateralised financial asset reflects the
cash flows that may result from foreclosure, less costs for obtaining and selling the collateral, whether or not foreclosure
is probable

When a borrower fails to make a contractually due payment of interest or pnncipal but the Company believes that
impairment is not appropnate on the basis of the level of the secunty / collateral available and / or the stage of collections
of amounts owed to the Company, a loan is classified as past due but not impaired In this instance the entire exposure
is reported as past due but not impaired, rather than just the amount in arrears

Renegotiated loans are those loans and receivables outstanding at the reporting date whose terms have been
renegotiated dunng the financial penod, resulting in an upgrade from impaired to performing status This is based on
subsequent good performance and / or an improvement in the profile of the borrower

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively
to an event occumng after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed by
adjusting the allowance account The amount of the reversal is recognised m the Statement of Comprehensive income
as a reduction to the heading "Provision for impairment", to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not
exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date

When a loan is deemed to be uncollectible, it is wntten off against the related allowance for loan impairment Such
loans are wntten off after all the necessary procedures have been completed and the amount of the loss has been
determined Subsequent recovenes of amounts previously wntten off decrease the amount of the allowance for loan
impairment in the Statement of Comprehensive income

1 9 Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting


Derivatives
Denvative instruments, including swaps, futures, forward foreign exchange contracts, forward rate agreements and options,
are used for hedging and trading purposes

Denvatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a denvative contract is entered into and are
subsequently re-measured at fair value Fair values are obtained from quoted market prices in active markets including
recent market transactions, and valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models and options pncmg models,
as appropnate Fair values are adjusted for counterparty credit nsk All denvatives are earned as assets when fair
value is positive and as liabilities when fair value is negative unless there is a legal ability and intention to settle net
Denvatives are classified as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges

The best evidence of the fair value of a denvative at initial recognition is the transaction price (i e the fair value of the
consideration given or received) unless the fair value of that instrument is evidenced by companson with other observable
current market transactions in the same instrument {i e without modification or repackaging) or based on a valuation
technique whose vanables include only data from observable markets

Hedge accounting
The method of recognising the resulting fair value gain or loss depends on whether the denvative is designated as a
hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged When transactions meet the cntena specified in IAS 39,
Financial Instruments Recognition and Measurement, the Company applies fair value hedge accounting

The Company documents, at the inception of each hedging transaction, the relationship between hedging instruments and
hedged items, as well as its nsk management objective and strategy for undertaking vanous hedge transactions The
Company also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the denvatives that
are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items

Fair value hedge accounting


Changes in the fair value of denvatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are recorded in the income
statement, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attnbutable to the
hedged nsk

If the hedge no longer meets the cntena for hedge accounting, the fair value hedge adjustment cumulatively
made to the carrying amount of the hedged item is, for items earned at amortised cost, amortised to the Statement of
Comprehensive income over the penod to matunty of the previously designated hedge relationship using the effective
rate method

Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting


Certain derivative instruments entered into as economic hedges may not qualify for hedge accounting These derivatives
are classified as held for trading Changes in the fair value of any denvative that does not qualify for hedge accounting
are recognised immediately in the Statement of Comprehensive income

Embedded Derivatives
Certain financial instruments contain both denvative and non denvative component In such cases, the denvative
component is termed an embedded denvative When the economic charactensties and nsk of embedded denvatives are not
closely related to those of the host contract and the host contract is not earned at fair value through profit or loss,
the embedded denvatives is treated as a separate denvative Embedded denvatives separates from the host contract are
measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in net trading income

1.10 Collateral and Netting


Collateral
The Company receives collateral in the form of cash in respect of credit instruments, such as denvatives, in order
to reduce credit nsk Collateral received in the form of cash is recognised on balance sheet in the category "Loans and
Advances to Bank" with a corresponding liability Any interest payable or receivable ansing is recorded as interest
expense or interest income respectively

Netting
The Company enters into master netting agreements with counterparties wherever possible, and when appropriate, obtain
collateral Master netting agreements provide that, if an event of default occurs, all outstanding transactions with the
counterparty will fall due and all amounts outstanding will be settled on a net basis Financial assets and liabilities
are offset and the net amount reported in the Statement of Financial position if, and only if, there is a currently
enforceable legal nght to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise
the asset and settle the liability simultaneously

111 Property, plant and equipment


Property, plant and equipment is held for use in the business and is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and
provisions for impairment, if any Additions and subsequent expenditure are capitalised only to the extent that they
enhance the future economic benefits expected to be denved from the asset Property, plant and equipment are
depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful economic lives as follows

Fixtures and fittings 12 5% to 25% per annum


Motor vehicles 20% per annum

The useful lives and residual values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at each
financial reporting date

Assets that are subject to depreciation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its
recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount The recoverable
amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use Gains and losses on disposal of
property, plant and equipment are included in the Statement of Comprehensive income in the penod of derecognition

112 Asset classified as held for sale


An asset is classified as held for sale if it is pnmanly acquired for the purpose of selling it in the near term and
where a sale is highly probable and is expected to occur within one year Assets classified as held for sale are stated
at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value
are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive income

Loans which are due to be transferred from the Company to the National Asset Management Agency ("NAMA") are
classified as held for sale These assets meet the definition of a disposal group under IFRS 5 as their carrying amount
expected to be recovered pnncipally through a sale transaction and the sale is highly probable within one year These
loans continue to be earned at amortised cost less provision for impairment See Note 14

113 Foreign currency translation


Functional and presentational currency

The financial statements are presented in Sterling, which is the Company's functional and presentational currency

Transactions and balances


Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the functional currency rate ruling at the date of the
transaction Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the functional

currency rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date All differences are recognised in the Statement of
Comprehensive income Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and
from the retranslation at period end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive income Non-monetary items that are measured in terms
of histoncal cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions
Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date
when the fair value was determined

1 14 Provisions
Provisions are recognised for present legal or constructive obligations arising from past events where it is
probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be necessary to settle the obligation, and it can be reliably
estimated

When the effect is matenal, provisions are determined by discounting expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate
that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropnate, the nsks specific to the
liability

Payments are deducted from the present value of the provision and interest at a relevant discount rate is charged
annually to interest expense Changes in the present value of the liability as a result of movements in interest rates are
included in other financial income The present value of provisions are included in other liabilities

Legal claims and other contingencies


Provisions are made for legal claims where the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of
past events and it is more likely than not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the
amount can be reasonably estimated

Contingent liabilities are possible obligations whose existence will be confirmed only by uncertain future events giving
nse to present obligations where the transfer of economic benefit is uncertain or cannot be reliably measured
Contingent liabilities are not recognised but are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements unless they are remote

115 Taxation (current and deferred)


Current tax is the expected tax payable (shown as a liability) or the expected tax receivable (shown as an asset) on the
taxable income for the penod adjusted for changes to previous years and is calculated based on the applicable tax
law in the United Kingdom Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method on temporary differences
arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities for taxation purposes and their carrying amounts in the
financial statements Current and deferred taxes are determined using tax rates based on legislation enacted or
substantively enacted at the financial reporting date and expected to apply when the related tax asset is realised or the
related tax liability is settled

Deferred tax assets are recognised where it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which
temporary differences will be utilised

Current and deferred taxes are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive income in the penod in which the profits
or losses anse except to the extent that they relate to items recognised directly in equity, in which case taxes are
also recognised in equity

Deferred and current tax assets and liabilities are only offset where there is both the legal nght and intention to settle on
a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously

116 Leases
Company as lessor
Leasing and instalment credit agreements with customers are classified as finance leases if the lease agreements
transfer substantially all the nsks and rewards of ownership, with or without ultimate legal title Assets that are held
subject to finance lease, or instalment credit agreements are recorded as receivables based on the present value
of the lease payments, discounted at the rate of interest implicit in the lease, less any provisions for bad and
doubtful rentals The difference between the total payments receivable under the lease and the present value of
the receivable is recognised as unearned finance income, which is allocated to accounting penods under the
pre-tax net investment method to reflect a constant penodic rate of return Impairment reviews on finance leases are
earned out in the same manner as impairment reviews of loans and receivables (Note 1 8 and 1 20 of Accounting
policies)

Assets leased to customers are classified as operating leases if the lease agreements do not transfer substantially all
the nsks and rewards of ownership The leased assets are included within property, plant and equipment on the
Company's Statement of Financial position and depreciation is provided on the depreciable amount of these assets
on a systematic basis over their estimated useful lives Rental income, including the effect of lease incentives,
is recognised on a straight line basis over the non cancellable term of the lease

Company as lessee
Operating lease rentals payable and related lease incentives receivable are recognised as an expense in the Statement
of Comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the lease term unless another systematic basis is more
appropnate

117 Segmental reporting


Business segments are distinguishable components of the Company that provide products or services that are subject to
risks and rewards that are different to those of other business segments Geographical segments provide products or
services within a particular economic environment that is subject to nsks and rewards that are different to
those of components operating in other economic environments

The Company only has one pnmary business segment being the provision of commercial property finance Geographical
segments are provided based on the underlying location of the assets being funded On this basis the Company is
treating geographical segments as its pnmary segment

1 18 Cash and cash equivalents


For the purposes of the Statement of Cash flows, cash compnses cash on hand and demand deposits Cash equivalents
comprise highly liquid investments that are convertible into cash with an insignificant risk of changes in value and
with onginal matunties of less than three months

1 19 Financial guarantees
A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder
for a loss it incurs because the guaranteed party fails to meet a contractual obligation or to make payment when due in
accordance with the onginal or modified terms of a debt instrument

Financial guarantees are given to banks, financial institutions and other bodies on behalf of customers to secure loans,
and other lending facilities and to other parties in connection with the performance of customers under obligations
related to contracts, advance payments made by other parties, tenders, retentions and the payment of import duties and
taxes

Financial guarantees are initially recognised in the financial statements at fair value on the date that the guarantee
was given Subsequent to initial recognition, the Company's liabilities under such guarantees are measured at the higher
of the initial measurement, less amortisation calculated to recognise in the Statement of Comprehensive income,
the fee income earned over the penod, and the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle any financial
obligation ansing as a result of the guarantees at the financial reporting date

1 20 Significant accounting estimates and judgements


The reported results of the Company are sensitive to the accounting policies, assumptions and estimates that underlie
the preparation of its financial statements IFRS require the directors, in prepanng the Company's financial statements, to
select suitable accounting policies, apply them consistently and make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and
prudent

The judgements and estimates involved in the Company's accounting policies that are considered by the directors to be
the most important to the portrayal of the Company's financial condition and that have a significant nsk of causing a
matenal adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below
The use of estimates, assumptions or models that differ from those adopted by the Company could affect its reported
results

Loan impairment
The estimation of potential loan losses is inherently uncertain and depends upon many factors On an ongoing basis
potential issues are identified promptly as a result of individual loans being regularly monitored At least every six months
the Company through the auspices of the Group Risk function of AIBC, the ultimate parent of the Company, reviews its
loan portfolios to assess whether there is objective evidence of impairment If there is objective evidence that a loan
is impaired, a provision is recognised equating to the amount by which the book value of the loan exceeds the present
value of its expected future cash flows Provisions are calculated on an individual basis with reference to expected
future cash flows including those arising from the realisation of collateral The determination of these provisions
often requires the exercise of considerable judgement by management involving matters such as future economic
conditions and the resulting trading performance of the customer and the value of collateral, for which there may not be a
readily accessible market As a result these provisions can be subject to significant vanation as time progresses and the
circumstances become clearer The methodology and assumptions used for estimating both the amount and timing of
future cash flows are reviewed regularly to reduce any differences between loss estimates and actual loss experience

An additional incurred but not reported ('IBNR') collective provision is required to cover losses inherent in the loan book
where there is objective evidence to suggest that it contains impaired loans but the individual impaired loans cannot
yet be identified This provision takes account of observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the
estimated future cash flows from a group of loans with similar credit nsk charactenstics, although the decrease cannot
yet be identified within the individual loans in the group

This provision is calculated by applying incurred loss factors to groups of loans sharing common risk characteristics
Loss factors are determined by histoncal loan loss expenence as adjusted for current observable market data
Adjustments reflect the impact of current conditions that did not affect the years on which the histoncal loss expenence
is based and remove the effects of conditions in the histoncal penod that do not exist currently

The future credit quality of loan portfolios against which an IBNR collective provision is applied is subject to
uncertainties that could cause actual credit losses to differ matenally from reported loan impairment provisions These
uncertainties include factors such as local and international economic conditions, borrower specific factors, industry
trends, interest rates, unemployment levels and other external factors

Asset classified as held for sale


Assets that the Company believes will be transferred to NAMA are classified as held for sale in the Statement of Financial
position NAMA has complete discretion as to which assets they may purchase from the Company, and not all assets
classified as held for sale may ultimately transfer to NAMA These assets are measured on the same basis as pnor to
their reclassification as held for sale

Assets will continue to be earned in the Statement of Financial position until they legally transfer to NAMA The amount
of consideration received from NAMA will be measured at fair value and any difference between the carrying value
of the asset on the date of transfer and the consideration received will be recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive
income

ANGLO IRISH ASSET FINANCE PLC

Notes to the financial statements continued

1 20 Accounting estimates and judgements continued


Fair value of financial instruments
Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable and willing
parties in an arm's length transaction Fair values are determined by reference to observable market prices where these
are available and are reliable Where representative market prices are not available or are unreliable, fair values are
determined by using valuation techniques which refer to observable market data These include pnces obtained from
independent third party pncmg service providers, compansons with similar financial instruments for which market
observable pnces exist, discounted cash flow analyses and other valuation techniques commonly used by market
participants

Where non-observable market data is used in valuations, any resulting difference between transaction pnce and
valuation is deferred The deferred day one profit or loss is either amortised over the life of the transaction, deferred
until the instrument's fair value can be determined using market observable inputs, or realised through settlement,
depending on the nature of the instrument and availability of market observable inputs The accuracy of fair value
calculations could be affected by unexpected market movements when compared to actual outcomes

Expected life of lending


IAS 39 requires interest and arrangement fees which form an integral part of the return earned from lending to be
measured using the effective interest rate method The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated
future cash receipts and payments through the expected life of the loan or, when appropnate, a shorter penod to the
net carrying amount of the loan

Management uses judgement to estimate the expected life of each loan and hence the expected cash flows relating
to it The accuracy of the effective interest rate would therefore be affected by unexpected market movements resulting
in altered customer behaviour and differences in the models used when compared to actual outcomes

Taxation
The taxation charge accounts for amounts due to fiscal authonties in the United Kingdom, and includes estimates
based on a judgement of future profits and the application of law and practice in certain cases in order to determine
the quantification of any liabilities arising In arriving at such estimates, management assesses the relative merits
and nsks of tax treatments assumed, taking into account statutory, judicial and regulatory guidance and, where
appropnate, external advice Where the final tax outcome is different from the amounts that are currently recorded,
such differences will impact upon the current and deferred tax amounts in the penod in which such determination
is made

loss for the UK Group arising from currency fluctuation In the six months to 31 March 2009 the arrangement
resulted in a pre-tax loss of £156,054,028 and aftertax benefit of £14,912,416 The strengthening

12 Derivative financial instruments

Derivative financial instruments denve their value from the pnce of underlying vanables such as interest rates, exposure
to exchange rates, credit spreads or equity and other indices Denvatives enable users to efficiently reduce or alter
market nsks In the normal course of business, the Company is party to vanous types of financial instruments used to
reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates

With the exception of designated hedging denvatives, as defined by IAS 39, denvatives are treated as held for trading
The held for trading classification includes economic hedges which do not meet the strict qualifying critena for
hedge accounting

The notional amount of a derivative contract does not necessanly represent the Company's real exposure to credit
nsk, which is limited to the current replacement cost of contracts with a positive fair value to the Company should
the counterparty default To reduce credit nsk the Company uses a vanety of credit enhancement techniques
such as master netting agreements and collateral support agreements, where cash secunty is provided
against the exposure Derivatives are earned at fair value and shown in the balance sheet as separate
totals of assets and liabilities Fair values are obtained from quoted market pnees in active markets and/or using
valuation techniques including discounted cash flows models Derivative assets and liabilities on different transactions
are only netted if a legal right of offset exists and the cash flows are intended to be settled on a net basis

Details of the objectives, policies and strategies ansing from the Company's use of financial instruments, including
denvative financial instruments, are presented in Note 28 on nsk management and control

The following table overleaf presents the notional and fair value amounts of denvative financial instruments, analysed

matching of interest earned on assets with these liabilites and thus eliminates interest rate nsk Further details are given
in Note 28

The cross currency swaps held at 30 September 2008 matured in December 2008 and January 2009 as part of the
matunty of the Japanese Yen financing transaction (see Note 5)

of certain liabilities Hedged liabilities include subordinated liabilities issued

Asset quality
The Company monitors lending asset quality on an ongoing basis using the rating categones outlined below These
ratings provide a common and consistent framework for aggregating and comparing exposures across all lending
portfolios The categones are as follows

Good quality
Both good and high quality loans are managed similarly from a nsk perspective and consequently have been
aggregated in the current reporting penod Good quality ratings apply to exposures that are performing as expected
and are of sound financial standing These exposures are considered low to moderate nsk

Satisfactory quality ,
This rating applies to exposures that continue to perform satisfactonly, but are subject to closer monitonng

Lower quality but not past due nor impaired


This rating applies to exposures that require increased management attention to prevent any detenoration in asset
quality No evidence of specific impairment exists

Past due but not impaired


These are loans and receivables where the contractual interest or principal payments are one day or more past due As at
the end of the reporting penod there is no objective evidence of impairment due to the level of collateral and/or
personal recourse available to the Company

Impaired loans
Loans are classified as impaired and impairment losses are incurred if, and only if, there is objective evidence of
impairment as a result of one or more loss events that occurred after the initial recognition of the loan The loan is
impaired if that loss event (or events) has an impact such that the estimated present value of future cash flows is
less than the current carrying value and can be reliably measured

Undated Loans Capital excluding other subordinated liabilities


The European Commission, as a condition of its approval of the Government's capitalisation of the Bank in mid 2009,
required that no further coupon payments be made on any of the AlBC's Tier 1 Secunties following the payment due on the
Company's TONICS

In December 2009 the Board resolved that the coupon on the Company's £200 million 8 5325% Step-up Callable Perpetual
Capital Secunties, which has the benefit of a subordinated guarantee from AIBC which would have been paid on 28
December 2009, would not be paid The effect of this decision was to trigger the "Dividend and Capital Restnction", the
provision of which preclude the Company and or Guarantor from declanng, paying or distnbuting a dividend or making a
payment on any of its ordinary share capital, its preference share capital or its Tier 1 Secunties, or make any payment
on a Tier 1 Guarantee until such time as the deferred coupon is satisfied

In addition, given the vanous conditions required for the payment of distributions on the Undated Loan Capital,
including positive reserves of both the Company and the AIBC group, and notwithstanding the conditions prescnbed by the
European Commission, it is not expected that distnbutions will be paid on either the Company's or other AIBC Group's
Tier 1 secunties for the foreseeable future

In order to effectively minimise the impact of these nsks, the directors place very significant reliance on the group
processes and nsk management framework of the ultimate parent, Anglo Insh Bank Corporation Limited ("AIBC"), covenng
accountability, measurement reporting and management of nsk throughout the AIBC Group including the Company

A key objective for the AIBC Group including the Company over the next 5 years is to reduce the nsk profile of the business
This note describes the nsk management and control framework in place in the AIBC Group and sets out the key nsks
which could impact the Company and AIBC Group's future results and financial position The nsks discussed below should
not be regarded as a complete and comprehensive statement of all potential nsks and uncertainties because there may be
risks and uncertainties of which the Company or the AIBC Group is not aware or which the Company or the AIBC Group
now does not consider significant but which in the future may become significant

Risk oversight and corporate governance of AIBC Group


AIBC Group's approach lo Corporate Governance and Risk Management is to ensure that there is independent
checking of key decisions by management AIBC Group has an established Risk Oversight Framework to deliver on
this approach The key elements of this framework are descnbed below

The Board of Directors of AIBC Group (AIBC Board) approves the overall AIBC Group strategy and is responsible for
approving the AIBC Group's risk appetite The Risk and Compliance Committee of the AIBC Board has the ultimate
oversight role on behalf of the AIBC Board The key responsibilities of the committee are as follows

- Review and oversight of the nsk and compliance profile of the AIBC Group within the context of the AIBC Board
determined nsk appetite,
- Making recommendations to the AIBC Board concerning the AIBC Group's risk appetite and particular risk or compliance
management practices of concern to the committee,
- Review and oversight of AIBC management's plans for mitigation of the material risks faced by the vanous business units
of the AIBC Group,
- Oversight of the implementation and review of nsk management and internal compliance and control systems throughout
the AIBC Group, and
- The AIBC Board delegates its monitonng and control responsibilities to the AIBC Group Credit Committees for credit
nsk (including banking and treasury credit nsk) and to the AIBC Group Asset and Liability Committee ('ALCO') for
market nsk and liquidity nsk These committees compnse senior management from throughout the AIBC Group and are
supported by a dedicated Group Risk Management function, which is headed by a Group Chief Risk Officer ('CRO')

The AIBC Group Audit Committee's role in the risk management framework includes ensuring AIBC Group compliance
with regulatory, prudential and financial reporting responsibilities It also reports to the AIBC Board on the effectiveness
of both financial and non-financial control processes operating throughout the AIBC Group The committee is supported by
AIBC Group Finance and AIBC Group Internal Audit, which are central control functions independent of line management
AIBC Group Internal Audit provides independent, objective assurance as to whether the AIBC Group's risk management
and control framework is adequate and functioning effectively

Management of nsk is the responsibility of staff at all levels However, pnmary responsibility for managing nsk and for
ensunng adequate controls are in place lies with the AIBC Group Risk Management function The AIBC Group Risk
Management function is responsible for
i
- Supporting the AIBC Leadership Team and AIBC Board in setting the AIBC Group's risk appetite and policies, ,
- Supporting management in business decision making through independent and objective challenge to business unit
management of nsk and exposures in line with agreed nsk appetites,
- Developing and communicating risk management policies, practices, appetites and accountabilities, and
- Analysing, monitonng and reporting matenal nsk management information across all nsk types and geographies to
present an aggregated view against the AIBC Group's risk appetite to the AIBC Group Leadership Team and AIBC (
Board
Some restructunng has taken place dunng the year within the AIBC Group Risk Management function The key changes '
are as follows

- Enhancement of asset quality teams,


- Establishment of a new Quality Assurance team, and
- Establishment of a Risk Operations team

Risk appetite and strategy


Risk appetite can be defined as the total impact of nsk the AIBC Group is prepared to accept in pursuit of its
strategic objectives Risk appetite sets the boundaries that form a dynamic link between the AIBC Group's strategy,
restructunng plan, capital management plan and the nsk management framework As the strategy of the AIBC Group's
changes, the appetite for risk is revisited to confirm that it continues to support the achievement of the AIBC Group's
objectives

The AIBC Group's current nsk exposure exceeds its nsk beanng capacity Risk reduction will remain a pnonty for the
AIBC Group both in the short and medium term, until risk exposure is in line with the AIBC Group's nsk appetite
objective The AIBC Board and the Company plans to address this disparity through stabilising and de-nsking the AIBC
Group, while rebuilding confidence and trust with all stakeholders In addition, the development and implementation of
the AIBC Group's restructunng plan, with leadership focussed on ensunng timely execution of the plan and a return to
profitability will assist the AIBC in achieving its nsk appetite objective

The strategy for nsk management is the responsibility of the CRO The CRO will review the strategy for nsk management
going forward in conjunction with the senior risk management team, the AIBC Group Leadership Team and the AIBC
Group Risk and Compliance Committee

The Company relies on the governance structure and nsk appetite and strategy to ensure that the overall control
framework of the Company is operating effectively as part of the wider AIBC Group

Individual risk types


AIBC Group Risk Management's independent oversight and analysis covers the following four core areas

- Credit nsk,
- Market nsk,
- Liquidity and funding nsk, and
- Operational nsk

Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that the Company will suffer a financial loss from a counterparty's failure to pay interest,
repay capital or meet a commitment and the collateral pledged as secunty is insufficient to cover the payments due The
Company's credit nsk anses pnmanly from its lending activities to customers (Banking Credit Risk) but also its use
of denvatives and investments in secunties included in the heading other loans and receivables (Treasury Credit Risk)

Banking credit risk


It is the stated aim of the AIBC Group to reduce the AIBC Group Lending Credit Risk profile as per the subscnption
agreement between the Irish Minister for Finance and AIBC

The Company's policy on Banking Credit Risk is as set out in a detailed AIBC Group Credit Policy ('the policy') which is
approved annually by the AIBC Board following recommendation by the AIBC Group Risk and Compliance Committee The
policy forms the core of the Company's credit nsk ethos and represents a comprehensive guide to policies and underwnting
cntena which govern the way in which the Company conducts its credit business The policy also

- sets out the process surrounding the credit approval process,


- outlines the manner in which Credit Risk is managed, and
- sets the context for the AIBC Group's business and sets out how the AIBC Group and the Company stnves
to reduce nsk

The current AIBC Group Credit Policy (approved November 2009) has been framed in the context of the AlBC's present
position in terms of ownership, state guarantees and short/medium term strategy It is also consistent with the AIBC
Group's Risk Appetite Statement

Consistency of approach to Banking Credit Risk across the AIBC Group and therefore for the Company is ensured through
the implementation of the policy and presence of key personnel at all Credit Committee meetings Credit Committee is the
most senior forum for approving credit exposures and consensus is required before authonsing a credit exposure with
each individual credit application approved by a valid quorum

Credit nsk relating to the loan book is identified and assessed on a combination of top-down and bottom-up nsk
assessment processes on a portfolio-wide basis Top-down processes focus on broad nsk types and common nsk dnvers,
rather than specific individual nsk events, and adopt a forward-looking view of perceived threats Bottom-up nsk
assessment is performed on a loan-by-loan basis, focusing on nsk events that have been identified through specific
qualitative or quantitative measurement tools In particular, the AIBC Group Banking Credit Risk Team monitors the AIBC
Group's exposure to geographic and industnal sectors within the loan book and proposes sectoral restnctions, where
appropnate In line with the Policy, the AIBC Group Banking Credit Risk Team ensures that no single counterparty or
group of closely related counterparties give nse to a significant concentration of credit nsk

Banking credit risk continued

With regard to the AIBC Group's transaction approval and review processes, the Banking Credit Risk
team in conjunction with the Quality Assurance Team within AIBC Group Risk Management oversee the
Credit Committees' meetings and penodic loan reviews Furthermore, to ensure the ongoing quality of the loan
book, the AIBC Banking Credit Risk team actively monitors appropnate transactions as part of the AIBC
Group's Asset Quality Review whilst also undertaking monthly asset quality reviews of the loan book

The performance of individual facilities is closely monitored by the AIBC Banking Credit Risk on an ongoing basis, who
maintains a list of lower quality cases These cases, while considered lower quality, are not impaired but require
increased management attention to prevent any detenoration in asset quality AIBC Banking Credit Risk also maintain a
list of satisfactory cases for exposures that continue to represent satisfactory quality loans but are subject to closer
monitoring

Impaired loans are identified m line with the recognition of'objective evidence' as defined in the AIBC Group's
provisioning policy

Specific provisions are created where one or more loss events have been recognised and as a result a shortfall is
expected between the AIBC Group's and the Company's exposure and the likely recoverable amount The recoverable
amount is calculated by discounting the value of expected future cash flows by the exposure's original effective
interest rate

Incurred but not reported ('IBNR') provisions are created on a collective basis for loans and advances where there is no
objective evidence of individual or specific impairment This provision is calculated with reference to histoncal loss
expenence supplemented by observable market evidence and management's expenenced judgement regarding current
market conditions

Lending teams, in consultation with AIBC Banking Credit Risk, devise and implement action plans in order to minimise
losses ansing from impaired loans This may involve working with the borrower to achieve a satisfactory outcome for
both the customer and the Company However, in certain circumstances the loan may be repaid from the sale proceeds of
security held, and/or by availing of recourse to the guarantor Where the proceeds from collateral are not sufficient to
repay the loan, AIBC Banking Credit Risk has the authonty to wnte off the outstanding exposure AIBC Banking Credit
Risk will make this determination, in line with AIBC Group credit policies, when it has concluded that the likelihood of
further recovery is remote and will advise the Company of the necessary requirement

Renegotiated loans are those facilities that, dunng the financial period, have had their terms renegotiated resulting in an
upgrade from impaired to performing status This upgrade can be based, among other things, on subsequent good
performance or an improvement in the credit profile of the borrower Renegotiated loans and advances were £Nil as at
31 December 2009 (30 September 2008 £nil)

Risk concentrations

Treasury credit risk

The Company is subject to treasury credit risk on its investment in other loans and receivables assets and its denvatives
transactions

The AIBC Treasury Credit Risk team manages credit risk inherent in all AIBC Group Treasury business including
interbank activity, denvative transactions and investment in debt secunties The AIBC Group's policy on treasury
credit nsk is set out in a detailed credit policy that has been approved by the AIBC Group Risk and Compliance
Committee Limits are assessed and proposed by an independent credit team within AIBC Group Risk Management
and are presented for consideration at the weekly AIBC Group Treasury Credit Committee meeting

Credit nsk on all treasury assets is regularly assessed The AIBC Group uses external ratings and market information,
supplemented by internal analysis, to assess the nsk associated with treasury assets

Settlement nsk anses in any situation where a payment in cash or secunties is made in the expectation of a
corresponding receipt in cash or secunties The settlement nsk on many transactions, particularly those involving
secunties, is substantially mitigated when effected via assured payment systems or on a delivery - versus - payment
basis Each counterparty's credit profile is assessed and cleanng agents, correspondent banks and custodians are
selected with a view to minimising settlement nsk

The Company's denvative activities are governed by policies approved by the AIBC Group ALCO

Collateral
The acceptance of both financial and non-financial collateral is central to the nsk mitigation and underwnting
policies adopted by the Company and AIBC Group Loans and advances to customers are collateralised
pnncipally by charges over real estate assets, charges over business assets and liens on cash deposits, and are
supplemented by personal guarantees In the case of clients with more than one transaction with the Company
or another AIBC Group entity, the Company and the AIBC Group seeks to cross-collateralise secunty to strengthen
repayment cover Where appropnate, collateral is independently valued at the time of borrowing and is subject to
regular revaluation, in line with AIBC Group credit nsk policies

Due to the significant increase in the volume of impaired loans, declining asset values and lack of market transactions
it was not feasible to obtain the fair value of collateral held against past due or impaired financial assets However,
due to the extensive review undertaken on the first tranche of assets due to transfer to NAMA the Company estimates that
collateral of £337,807,877 is held against impaired loans and advances to customers of £465,507,516 With regard to the
remainder of the past due or impaired financial assets, the Company has availed of the option under IFRS 7 not to
disclose the fair value of collateral held against past due or impaired financial assets At 30 September 2008,
collateral of £123,637,936 was held against impaired loans and advances to customers of £201,673,335

The Company has executed Collateral Support Agreements ('CSAs') with its pnncipal denvatives counterparties Under the
terms of a CSA, if the aggregate market value of a set of denvative contracts between two parties exceeds an agreed
threshold amount, the party which would be exposed to loss in the event of default receives a deposit of cash or eligible
secunties equal to the excess aggregate value over the threshold

Market risk
Market nsk is the risk of a potential adverse change in income or financial position ansing from movements in interest rates,
exchange rates or other market pnces Market nsk anses from the structure of the balance sheet and the execution of
customer trading The Company recognises that the effective management of market nsk is essential to the maintenance
of stable earnings, the preservation of shareholder value and the achievement of the Company's corporate objectives

The exposure to market risk is governed by policies prepared by AIBC Group nsk management and approved by the AIBC
ALCO and the AIBC Group Risk and Compliance Committee All risk limits are approved by AIBC Group ALCO and by the
AIBC Group Risk and Compliance Committee

Banking book risk


Banking book positions are those acquired with the intention of holding them to matunty in the normal course of business
Interest rate nsk in the banking book anses from a combination of lending, funding and non-trading treasury activities
AIBC Group Treasury manages the market nsk associated with all of these activities on a consolidated basis for the whole
of AIBC Group

Market nsk in the banking book pnmanly anses from exposure to changes in interest rates The Company's financial assets
and liabilities have interest rates that are reset at different times or under different bases There is a potential impact on
earnings and value that could occur when liabilities cannot be repnced as quickly as assets in a falling interest rate
environment or when assets cannot be repnced as quickly as liabilities in an environment of nsing rates

The Company does not have any exposure to equity nsk Currency nsk is managed through the matching, to the extent
possible of currency assets and liabilities A currency statement of financial position is provided in Note 33

Banking book interest rate nsk is measured by establishing the repricing characteristics of each asset, liability and
denvative instrument The nsk is managed by the AIBC Group Treasury through basis point sensitivity and nominal
position limits at total AIBC Group level

AIBC Group Risk management provides daily reporting of banking book nsk positions against approved Present Value
Basis Point and nominal position limits It provides monthly reporting to AIBC Group ALCO on banking book activity with
analysis of all significant nsk positions, including the results of stress testing

The following table shows the sensitivity of the Company's banking book, including denvatives, to an assumed 100
basis point {'bp') movement in interest rates in terms of the impact on net interest income over a twelve month penod

Sensitivity of annual net interest income to 100 bp increase GBP EUR JPY
£ £ £

At 31 December 2009 3,008,996 886,933 (158,156)

At 30 September 2008 12,918,579 558,287 (10,633,631)

This measure assumes all interest rates, currencies and matunties move at the same time and by the same amount It
does not incorporate the impact of management actions that, in the event of an adverse rate movement, could reduce
the impact on net interest income In practice, interest rate nsk is actively managed and the impact of yield curve
movements on interest income will be different from that calculated by this measure The sensitivity analysis as shown
has the same potential impact on the income statement and equity

Use of financial instruments


The Company uses financial instruments in the normal course of its business To fund asset growth the Company has
histoncally, raised funds via the capital markets by issuing subordinated liabilities and other capital instruments and
has raised additional funding to support its business from Anglo Insh Bank Corporation Limited - London Branch as
required Interest rates on financial instruments can be either fixed or vanable, with varying contractual terms from
short to long term

Where appropnate the Company through AIBC Group Treasury uses denvatives to manage interest rate and foreign
exchange exposures ansing from the use of financial instruments and the risks ansing within its interest bearing
activities, either from lending or funding

Where feasible the Company operates on a matched currency basis to avoid foreign exchange impact in its assets and
liabilities The Company relies on AIBC Group Treasury who manage interest rate nsk and foreign exchange nsk on a
consolidated basis for the AIBC Group

Derivatives
A denvative is a financial instrument which defines certain financial nghts and obligations which are
contractually linked to interest rates, exchange rates or other market pnces Denvatives are an efficient and
cost effective means of managing market nsk and limiting counterparty exposures As such they are an indispensable
element of treasury management for the Company

Further details are disclosed in Note 12 The accounting policy on denvatives is set out in Note 1 9

Banking book risk continued


It is recognised that certain forms of denvatives can introduce nsks which are difficult to measure and control
For this reason, it is Company and AIBC Group policy to place boundanes on the nature and extent of its participation in
denvative markets and to apply the industry regulatory standards to all aspects of its denvative activities

The Company's denvative activities are governed by policies approved by the AIBC Group ALCO These policies relate
to the management of the vanous types of nsk associated with denvatives, including market nsk, liquidity risk and credit
nsk

Liquidity risk

Liquidity nsk is the risk that the Company does not have sufficient financial resources available at all times to meet
its contractual and contingent cash flow obligations or can only secure these resources at excessive cost It is Company
policy to ensure that resources are at all times available to meet the Company's obligations ansing from the drawdown
of customer facilities and asset expansion This is achieved through a commitment from Anglo Insh Bank Corporation
Limited to continue to provide financial resources for the foreseeable future and at least until the 31 July 2011

All surplus cash is transferred to AIBC on a daily basis by the Company and any cash requirement are drawn from AIBC
on a daily basts Consequently, the Company does not carry any liquidity for its own purpose and is totally dependent on
AIBC for ongoing support

Liquidity nsk is monitored centrally by the AIBC Group ALCO, whose responsibilities in relation to liquidity include, but
are not limited to

- Setting liquidity nsk strategy for the AIBC Group,


- Approving and maintaining AIBC Group funding and liquidity policy,
- Approving and maintaining the AIBC Group contingency funding plan,
- Maintaining internal and external liquidity nsk limits,
- Liquidity stress testing and scenario analysis, and
- Providing the AIBC Group board and its Board Committees with regular liquidity updates

Liquidity risk is measured using the cash flow mismatch approach where cash inflows and outflows are analysed
to produce a net cash flow position over set time penods Cash outflows are assumed to be paid at the earliest
time penod and cash inflows to be received at the latest potential time penod AIBC Group mitigates liquidity nsk
through holding a stock of highly liquid assets which can be readily realised for cash and by actively managing the
liquidity profile of its assets and liabilities

Operational liquidity nsk is short term liquidity nsk, ranging from intraday to one month Execution of AIBC Group's
short term operational liquidity strategy and cash flow management on a daily basis is the responsibility of AIBC Group
Treasury, operating within stnct formal limits set by AIBC Group ALCO These limits ensure that a sufficient cash flow
and liquid asset buffer is maintained over and above net cashflow requirements These cash flow requirements are
required using contractual cash flows and conservative assumptions for non contractual cash flow which may fall due
AIBC Group Treasury provide formal updates to AIBC Group ALCO on a regular basis

The following tables present the cash flows payable by the Company under financial liabilities, and under contingent
liabilities and commitments which are not recognised in the statement of financial position by remaining contractual
matunties at the end of the reporting date The amounts disclosed in the tables are the contractual undiscounted cash
flows of all financial liabilities and therefore differ from the carrying amounts of liabilities in the statement of
financial position

AIBC Group evaluates its longer term liquidity mismatch or structural liquidity nsk on a regular basis The management
of structural liquidity risk is important in identifying future funding requirements

AIBC Group ALCO is responsible for structural liquidity nsk management and provides regular formal updates to the
AIBC Group Risk and Compliance Committee and the AIBC Board

Structural liquidity nsk is managed under the guidelines set out in the AIBC Group funding policy and the AIBC Group
Risk Appetite Statement The AIBC Group Risk Appetite Statement seeks to build and maintain a funding book which is
well diversified in terms of retail, corporate and wholesale markets on a customer, segmental, geographical and
duration basis It provides both quantitative and qualitative metncs to ensure the liquidity nsk appetite is
understood and managed within parameters formally approved by the Board

Liquid assets
An important part of the operational and structural liquidity nsk strategy is maintaining a portfolio of highly liquid treasury
assets which can be realised for cash at short notice through sale and repurchase agreements

AIBC Group maintains a portfolio of liquid assets compnsing a sizeable holding of European government bonds and
other high quality bank paper which is highly liquid in the bilateral or tn-party repo market

Holding a portfolio of highly liquid assets has always formed part of the AIBC Group's liquidity management policy
ensunng the AIBC Group has been able to receive and place cash in the repo market dunng penods of market volatility

Contingency planning
The AIBC Group maintains a comprehensive contingency funding plan to deal with penods of market liquidity stress
The plan includes detailed actions which would be required depending on the nature and seventy of any potential
liquidity stress Key nsk indicators are detailed to provide early warning of a pending stress and an analysis of the
level of stress seventy for both AIBC Group and market specific stresses This is an important facet of the contingency
funding plan together with the detailed action plans The plan is reviewed on a regular basis by AIBC Group ALCO and
AIBC Group senior management

Stress testing
An important element in the identification, management and control of liquidity risk is the use of stress tests and
scenano analyses The stress testing results enable AIBC Group ALCO to analyse the effects of low probability, yet
high impact, events on the funding and liquidity position of the AIBC Group

The AIBC Group has a comprehensive stress testing framework which is consistent with market best practice for
liquidity nsk stress and scenano testing The suite of stress tests incorporates both market and AIBC Group specific
stresses including moderate and severe events over different time honzons

Some examples of the pnmary stress tests are the total closure of wholesale funding markets, two notch downgrade
stress, Insh market specific stress and market nsk stress The AIBC Group has limits in place which set the maximum
tolerance for the results of the vanous stress test scenanos, and also pre-defined courses of action to reduce the
exposure to a particular stress if deemed appropnate

Liquidity stress testing results are regularly reviewed by AIBC Group ALCO with updates provided to the AIBC Board
and the AIBC Group Risk and Compliance Committee

Operational risk

Operational nsk is the nsk of loss ansing from inadequate controls and procedures, unauthonsed activities,
outsourcing, human error, systems failure and business continuity In the case of legal nsk, this includes the nsk of
loss due to litigation ansing from errors, omissions and acts by the Company in the conduct of business Operational
nsk is inherent in every business organisation and covers a wide spectrum of issues

The AIBC Group's management of its exposure to operational nsk is governed by a policy prepared by AIBC Group Risk
Management and approved by the AIBC Group Risk and Compliance Committee The policy specifies that the AIBC
Group operates such measures of nsk identification, assessment, monitonng and management as are necessary to
ensure that operational nsk management is consistent with the strategic goals of the AIBC Group It is designed to
safeguard the AIBC Group's and the Company's assets while allowing sufficient operational freedom to conduct the
AIBC Group's and Company's business The policy document also sets out the responsibilities of senior management,
the requirement for reporting of operational risk incidents and the role of AIBC Group Internal Audit in providing
independent assurance

The operational nsk management process consists of the setting of strategic objectives, the identification of nsks and
the implementation of action plans to mitigate the nsks identified Recognising that operational nsk cannot be
entirely eliminated, AIBC Group implements risk mitigation controls including fraud prevention, contingency planning,
information secunty and incident management Where appropnate this strategy is further supported by nsk transfer
mechanisms such as insurance

The business units and support functions assess their operational nsk profile on a semi-annual basis The output of
these assessments are consolidated by AIBC Group Risk Management and presented to the AIBC Group Risk and
Compliance Committee The process serves to ensure that key operational nsks are proactively identified, evaluated,
monitored and reported, and that appropnate action is taken In addition the AIBC Group Risk and Compliance
Committee receives monthly information on significant operational nsk incidents

The Company relies on the AIBC Group for all system and processing and thus relies on the above process

Compliance risk
The directors of this Company and the AIBC Risk and Compliance function are responsible for ensunng that the
Company is compliant with all relevant laws and good practice guidelines This includes ensunng that all of AIBC
Group's personnel are aware of and take steps to comply with laid down policies and procedures Non compliance can
give nse to reputational loss, legal or regulatory sanctions or material financial loss

Compliance is charged with defining and identifying regulatory and compliance nsks and developing a compliance
programme for the Company that includes the implementation and review of specific policies and procedures,
compliance monitonng and education of staff on regulatory and compliance matters

The AIBC Group Risk and Compliance Committee has oversight of all compliance issues for the AIBC Group, including
this Company

Capital management
The objectives of the Company's capital management policy are to efficiently manage the capital base to
optimise shareholders returns, while maintaining capital adequacy to ensure the Company's ability to continue as
a going concern

The responsibility for capital adequacy rests with the directors The directors manage the capital structure and make
adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions or changes in the nsk profile of assets In order to adjust
the capital structure the Company may return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt

The Company monitors capital on the basis of a debt-to-capital ratio Capital comprises all components of equity,
(le share capital and retained earnings) as well as subordinated liabilities and other capital instruments While the
subordinated liabilities and other capital instruments are classified as financial liabilities, they are managed as
capital due to their long term or perpetual nature

On 7 Apnl 2009 the Irish Government announced its intention to establish a National Asset Management Agency ('NAMA'),
and on 22 November 2009, the NAMA Act provided for its establishment Under the Act, NAMA will acquire certain assets
from insh banks including their subsidianes (which includes the Company), hold, manage and realise these assets, and
facilitate the restructunng of credit institutions of systemic importance to the Insh economy On 9 February 2010 AIBC
applied to be designated as a participating institution in NAMA This application was accepted by the Insh Minister for
Finance ("Minister") on 12 February 2010 AIBC is now legally bound to participate in NAMA and is subject to NAMA's
statutory powers This requirement also applied to AlBC's subsidianes including the Company

The transfer of assets to NAMA is a fundamental aspect of AlBC's restructunng process AIBC estimates that NAMA will

34 Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities

The Company has estimated fair value wherever possible using market pnces In certain cases, however, including
advances to customers, there are no ready markets The concept of fair value assumes realisation of financial
instruments by way of a sale However, in many cases, particularly in respect of lending to customers, the Company
intends to realise assets through collection over time As such, the fair value calculated does not represent
the value of the Company as a going concern at the period end

The following table represents the carrying amount and the fair value of the Company's financial assets and liabilities
at the penod end

The estimation of fair values of loans and advances is inherently uncertain, dependant upon many unobservable factors
and requires the exercise of considerable subjective judgement by management Market conditions at 31 December,
2009, particularly the lack of liquidity in the commercial property market and the increased significance of counterparty
credit considerations, have contnbuted to the uncertainty when estimating the fair values of loans and advances The
estimated fair value of loans and advances earned at amortised cost at 31 December 2009 includes an adjustment to
reflect the Company's assessment of credit factors that market participants would consider in valuing such assets
Readers are advised that the Company intends to realise assets through collection over time rather than by way of sale
and that the estimated fair values provided would be subject to change depending on the exact circumstances of a
particular sale scenano

Loans which are expected to be transferred from the Company to NAMA are classified as held for sale and are
earned in the Statement of Financial position on the same basis as pnor to their reclassification from loans and
advances These loans continue to be earned at amortised cost less provisions for impairment The Insh Minister
for Finance on 16 September 2009, indicated an average industry wide discount of 30% will apply to loans
transfemng to NAMA Neither AIBC not the Company have any control over the valuation of assets transfemng
to NAMA These will be determined based on the methodology outlined in the NAMA Act and the associated
regulations The fair value above is based on a discount of 30% of gross value

The fair value applied to the perpetual capital secunties and subordinated liabilities are the latest significant
transaction prices for these items at the penod end The fair value of the other financial assets and liabilities are
calculated by discounting expected future cash flows using market rates applicable at the period end The denvatives
are marked to market at penod end

35 Events after the financial reporting date

NAMA
On 30 March 2010 NAMA advised AIBC that they expect the discount on the first tranche of AlBC's loans
to fall into the 50% - 55% range but that this is a preliminary estimate and subject to audit, consistency checks
and submissions by AIBC NAMA did not provide any company specific information but based on ongoing
interaction with NAMA, the first tranche for the Company is expected to amount to £1,012m of gross eligible
assets At 31 December 2009 associated impairment provisions total £243m Applying an average discount of 50%
to these assets would result in an additional loss on transfer of approximately £263m This information relates
to assets expected to transfer in the first tranche only and may not be representative of the total portfolio As a
