Amsterdam, 26 August 2009


ABN AMRO Group reports second quarter and half year 2009 financial results

Second quarter 2009 update
ABN AMRO Group has recorded a loss after tax of EUR 1,761 million for the second quarter 2009 bringing the half year loss after tax to EUR 2,647 million.  The Group’s second quarter 2009 profit from continuing operations has deteriorated compared to the first quarter 2009 due to increased loan impairments in the Dutch State acquired businesses and increased losses in the RBS acquired businesses resulting from tightening of credit spreads and increased loan loss provisions.

In the second quarter a loss after tax of EUR 1,857 million from continuing operations was offset by a gain after tax on discontinued operations of EUR 96 million. The Group’s total loss after taxes comprises a loss after tax of EUR 1,835 million attributable to the Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc (RBS) acquired businesses, a loss of EUR 10 million attributable to the Dutch State acquired businesses, a loss of EUR 12 million attributable to the Group’s Central Items.

The Group’s half year results are modestly positive for the Dutch State acquired businesses with EUR 77 million and include furthermore a loss after tax of EUR 2,763 million attributable to the RBS acquired businesses and a loss after tax of EUR 60 million for Central Items.

A gain of EUR 96 million attributable to Banco Santander S.A. (Santander’s) remaining acquired businesses in ABN AMRO Group is reported as profit from discontinued operations in the second quarter and EUR 99 million for the half year.

An overview of the results and financial position of the Dutch State acquired businesses is included in Appendix I and a summary of the Group results and financial position in Appendix II of this release.  The results of the RBS acquired businesses are not meaningful on a standalone basis due to transfer of certain assets to, coupled with new business now being written in RBS.  For further information regarding the results of the RBS acquired businesses, please refer to the RBS 30 June 2009 Interim Results published on 7 August 2009 and available on the RBS website (www.RBS.com).

For further information regarding the ABN AMRO Holding N.V. 30 June 2009 Interim Results, we refer to our Interim Financial Report available on the ABN AMRO website (www.ABNAMRO.com).

Capital, liquidity and funding
ABN AMRO Group continues to be well funded and capitalised.  At 30 June 2009, the Group’s tier 1 ratio was 13.3% (31 December 2008: 10.9%) and the total capital ratio was 17.9% (31 December 2008: 14.4%).  This reflects a reduction in risk weighted assets in the first half year 2009 and a EUR 3 billion capital injection by its parent company RFS Holdings B.V.  Our capital ratios continue to exceed the minimum tier 1 and total capital ratios of 9% and 12.5% respectively set by the Dutch Central Bank during the separation period of ABN AMRO Group.  ABN AMRO Group continues to comfortably exceed the regulatory liquidity requirements.

On 31 July ABN AMRO has issued a EUR 800 million Mandatory Convertible Tier-1 Security (MCS) that was acquired by the Ministry of Finance.  Also on that date a Credit Default Swap (CDS) agreement was signed with a start date of no later than 31 August 2009.  Through this arrangement ABN AMRO Bank N.V. will purchase credit protection on a EUR 34.5 billion portfolio of own originated residential mortgages.
 

 
On 6 July 2009 ABN AMRO Group successfully issued a five-year EUR 2 billion Covered Bond.  The issuance enjoyed a healthy demand from investors thus demonstrating the funding capabilities of the Bank.  This program is now also registered with the Dutch Central Bank. By the registration as a programme governed by the Dutch Covered Bond law, the programme complies with all requirements.

Update on separation

Update on Separation activity
RBS and the Dutch State continue to work towards the legal separation of the Dutch State acquired businesses from the residual RBS acquired businesses into two separate banks and additionally with Santander on the settlement of the Consortium shareholder agreement.  Important and critical milestones relating to the legal demerger and subsequent separation have recently been reached as we move towards legal separation.  This includes the completion of a major part of the technical separation of ABN AMRO’s banking and payments operating systems and processes.  Legal demerger, previously referred to as the legal segregation, will occur upon transfer of the Dutch State acquired businesses out of ABN AMRO Bank N.V., the demerging entity, into a separate legal entity ABN AMRO II N.V., a fully owned subsidiary of ABN AMRO Holding N.V., that was incorporated and registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce earlier in 2009.  Legal separation out of the ABN AMRO Group will occur when ABN AMRO II N.V. is separated from ABN AMRO Group and functions as a new independent bank. This is aimed to be achieved by the end of this year.

Constituting a pivotal step in the demerger process, ABN AMRO Bank N.V. plans to file legal demerger documentation with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce in September 2009.  For further information we also refer to Appendix III.  As part of the restructuring process, the Dutch State acquired businesses and activities are being transferred into the newly formed entity ABN AMRO II N.V., subject to Dutch Central Bank approval.  Subsequent to the transfer of selected entities into ABN AMRO II N.V. and completion of a demerger according to Dutch law of assets and liabilities to this entity, ABN AMRO II N.V. will be renamed "ABN AMRO Bank N.V.".  This bank will operate under a separate banking licence, a request for which has been submitted to the the Dutch Central Bank.  ABN AMRO expects to have obtained the banking licence before the execution of the legal demerger.  

The smooth separation of these businesses from ABN AMRO Group remains a priority for the Managing Board, targeted for completion by the end of 2009 in line with our announced plans.  ABN AMRO Group and its shareholders intend to ensure that by legal separation both separate banks are adequately capitalized and have sound liquidity positions.  The Bank continues to pursue the sale of part of the Dutch commercial clients’ activities and selected regional branch offices to comply with the requirements of the European Commission.  The sale will be subject to approval by the shareholder, the European Commission and the Dutch Central Bank.  A request for an extension of the sale period by the Dutch State to the European Commission, has been granted until the beginning of September.
 
Following the separation of the Dutch State acquired businesses, the existing ABN AMRO Bank N.V. will be renamed "The Royal Bank of Scotland N.V." (RBS N.V.). The future RBS N.V. will be an integral part of the RBS Group and will principally contain the international lending, international transaction services and equities businesses of the RBS Group.  These remaining activities will continue to be subject to Dutch Central Bank supervision and on a consolidated basis as part of the RBS Group subject to UK Financial Services Authority supervision.  Due to the change in the operating model of RBS N.V. compared to pre-acquisition ABN AMRO Bank N.V. a licence renewal application procedure is required.  This licence renewal application has been lodged with the Dutch Central Bank.  ABN AMRO expects to have obtained the renewed banking licence before the execution of the legal demerger.

The Central Items business segment includes items (referred to as Shared Assets) that are not allocated to, but economically shared by the Consortium Members, and accumulated amounts payable to Santander arising from the disposal of Latin America and other sales and settlements. The economic interest in the Shared Assets will remain shared until all Consortium Members have agreed on disposal, allocation or made other arrangements.

Governance until legal separation
Until final legal separation, expected to occur before the end of the year, ABN AMRO Group will continue to be governed by its Managing Board and Supervisory Board and regulated on a consolidated basis with capital ratios, liquidity measures and exposures being reported to and regulated by the Dutch Central Bank.

The Managing Board and the Supervisory Board of ABN AMRO Group have approved the intention to repatriate via RFS Holdings B.V. capital for the benefit of Santander in the amount of EUR 6.5 billion, subject to regulatory approval.  Any future capital repatriations to individual Consortium Members are part of an overall capital plan authorised within the governance of ABN AMRO Group and agreed between Consortium Members.  Additionally, these are subject to regulatory approval.

The businesses acquired by the Dutch State, consisting of the Dutch commercial and retail banking and international private client and diamonds businesses were impacted by lower operating income and higher loan impairments in the second quarter 2009 than in the first quarter of the year and the comparable quarter in 2008.

Operating income has decreased compared to the first quarter.  The competition in the Netherlands for client deposits contributed to the decline in net interest income of 13%, which was also impacted by slightly lower treasury results.  The downward trend of rates in the Dutch savings markets, could be marked as a first sign of recovery.  Operating income has also benefited from the inclusion of our share in the profit generated by Delta Lloyd and Equens, which incorporates the audited net profit of these businesses for 2008.

Operating expenses continue to benefit from cost control measures.  The increase in operating expenses reflects higher restructuring costs and the impact of a refinement of the cost allocation in the Netherlands between the Dutch State acquired and the RBS acquired businesses.

Loan impairments predominantly comprise specific provisions against commercial loan portfolios and include increased levels of incurred but not yet identified provisions on the basis of continued assessment of the economic climate and the expected loan impairments for the year.

   1   The presentation of total amounts includes EUR 13.1 billion (31 March 2009: EUR 9.7 billion) of net intercompany receivables, which are netted with other segments within liabilities for consolidation purposes. 
   2   Allocated equity excludes the Dutch State’s share in the equity deficit in Central Items.

Total assets increased predominantly as a result of purchases of high quality debt securities for asset and liability management purposes and higher settlement balances as at 30 June 2009.  An increase in total liabilities is mainly attributable to increases in savings and current account balances for both the consumer and commercial customers.  This has also supported the increase of the Assets under Management in Private Clients since the end of the first quarter 2009, which have furthermore benefited from the improvement in market conditions and a net inflow.  Overall levels of Assets under Management continue to be impacted by the weakness in the financial markets.

Consolidation effect is the impact per line item of the private equity investments which are required to be consolidated under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).  Private equity is not considered part of the banking activities.

The Group's second quarter 2009 results from continuing operations have deteriorated compared to the first quarter 2009. The second quarter of 2009 is impacted by losses resulting from tightening of credit spreads.  Fair valued own liabilities have shown losses as well as Credit Default Swaps entered into for hedging of credit positions.  While the first quarter of 2009 included high losses from credit crisis affected positions, including credit valuation adjustments on monolines, Credit Derivative Product Companies and fair value charges of Collateralized Debt Obligation positions, these results are no longer present in the second quarter 2009 after the completion of the legal and risk transfer of most of these positions to RBS.  The operating expenses in the second quarter were affected by the impairment of goodwill on RBS acquired Asian entities, which are part of the disposal group that is being sold.  Loan impairments have increased reflecting the challenging credit environment.

The decrease of the Group’s total assets of EUR 77 billion, or 13%, during the second quarter, principally reflects market to market fluctuations in the trading book and the transfers of certain assets and activities from the ABN AMRO Group to RBS, reducing the risk profile of the Group and supporting the implementation of the strategy for the future RBS N.V.

APPENDIX III – Legal demerger


ABN AMRO Holding N.V. (‘ABN AMRO’) was acquired by a consortium of banks through RFS Holdings B.V. on 17 October 2007. The consortium consisted of The Royal Bank of Scotland Group (38%), Fortis Bank (34%) and Banco Santander SA (28%). On 24 December 2008 the Fortis Bank Nederland (Holding) N.V. share in RFS Holding B.V. was transferred to the Dutch State, following the acquisition by the Dutch State in October 2008 of Fortis Bank Nederland (Holding) N.V., including its share in RFS Holdings B.V.  The shareholders have split the assets and liabilities included in ABN AMRO Group on the basis of the arrangements included in the Consortium and Shareholders’ Agreement of 28 May 2007 and further agreements made.  These agreements include the economic allocation of capital and debt instruments between Dutch State and RBS acquired businesses.

ABN AMRO Group has chosen a two-step approach for the legal separation of the assets and liabilities allocated to the indirect ownership of the Dutch State, referred to as the Dutch State acquired businesses:

·  Step 1 - “Legal Demerger”: Transferring the majority of the Dutch State acquired businesses from ABN AMRO Bank N.V. to a new legal entity, ABN AMRO II N.V.  Some subsidiaries and assets and liabilities are separately transferred to the new legal entity, mostly on or around the planned legal demerger date.

·  Step 2 - “Legal Separation”: Transferring the shares of ABN AMRO II N.V. from ABN AMRO Holding N.V. to a new Holding Company fully owned by the Dutch State and independent of ABN AMRO Holding N.V. This is planned for execution by the end of 2009.  ABN AMRO Holding N.V will then be renamed The Royal Bank of Scotland Holding N.V.

ABN AMRO Bank N.V. plans to file legal demerger documentation with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce in September.   The demerger proposal outlines the Bank’s legal demerger process and provides creditors of ABN AMRO Bank N.V. with pro forma financial information as of 30 June 2009 allowing for assessment of the impact of the legal transfers and demergers on ABN AMRO Bank N.V.  The documentation includes information on the impact on employees, creditors and suppliers and will be available on the ABN AMRO’s website (www.abnamro.com). The legal demerger proposal comprises a description of the assets and liabilities to be transferred and pro forma financial information.

The Dutch State’s part of the assets and liabilities that are not yet allocated to any of the Consortium shareholders, the so-called Shared Assets, are not included in the legal demerger.  These are in the process of being sold or otherwise transferred.  They will at the time of legal separation continue to be legally held by RBS N.V. under shared economic ownership until such time that they will be divested or otherwise discontinued.

Following the demerger and the transfer of the Dutch State acquired businesses into the new bank, the existing ABN AMRO Bank N.V. will be renamed The Royal Bank of Scotland N.V. (RBS N.V.).  The new legal entity comprising the Dutch State acquired businesses will be named ABN AMRO Bank N.V.  Both entities are 100% owned by ABN AMRO Holding N.V. during this phase and will be governed by the ABN AMRO Holding N.V. Managing Board and Supervisory Board, while being regulated on a consolidated basis by the Dutch Central Bank.

ABN AMRO Group continues to operate as a separately well capitalised and regulated entity under the supervision of the Dutch Central Bank during the period of transition, continuing to exceed the minimum Tier 1 and a Total Capital ratios set by the Dutch Central Bank throughout the transition period, of 9% and 12.5% respectively.  ABN AMRO Group continues to meet the regulatory liquidity requirements and to be well funded.  The future independent banks, RBS N.V. and ABN AMRO Bank N.V. (new) expect to continue to comply with Dutch Central Bank minimum liquidity and solvency requirements.  The Dutch Central Bank has been extensively informed about and involved in the transaction structure for the Dutch State acquired businesses with approvals seeked where required.

Cautionary statement on forward-looking statements

Certain sections in this document contain ‘forward-looking statements’ as that term is defined in the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, such as statements that include the words ‘expect’, ‘estimate’, ‘project’, ‘anticipate’, ‘should’, ‘intend’, ‘plan’, ‘probability’, ‘risk’, ‘Value-at-Risk (VaR)’, ‘target’, ‘goal’, ‘objective’, ‘will’, ‘endeavour’, ‘outlook’, 'optimistic', 'prospects' and similar expressions or variations on such expressions.

In particular, this document includes forward-looking statements relating, but not limited, to ABN AMRO Holding N.V.’s (referred to as ‘the Group’, ‘ABN AMRO’ or ‘ABN AMRO Group’) potential exposures to various types of market risks, such as counterparty risk, interest rate risk, foreign exchange rate risk, commodity and equity price risk and credit risks. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. For example, certain of the market risk disclosures are dependent on choices about key model characteristics and assumptions and are subject to various limitations. By their nature, certain of the market risk disclosures are only estimates and, as a result, actual future gains and losses could differ materially.

Other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those estimated by the forward looking statements contained in this document include, but are not limited to:

·  
the extent and nature of future developments and continued volatility in the credit markets and their impact on the financial industry in general and ABN AMRO in particular;
·  
the effect on ABN AMRO’s capital of write downs in respect of credit exposures;
·  
risks related to ABN AMRO’s transition and separation process following its acquisition by the Consortium consisting of The Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc (‘RBS’), the State of the Netherlands (‘Dutch State’) and Banco Santander S.A. (‘Santander’);
·  
general economic conditions in the Netherlands and in other countries in which ABN AMRO has significant business activities or investments, e.g. the United Kingdom and the United States, including the impact of recessionary economic conditions on ABN AMRO's revenues, liquidity and balance sheet;
·  
the actions taken by governments and their agencies to support individual banks and the banking system;
·  
the monetary and interest rate policies of the European Central Bank, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and other G-7 central banks;
·  
inflation or deflation;
·  
unanticipated turbulence in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, capital markets, commodity prices and equity prices;
·  
changes in Dutch and foreign laws, regulations and taxes;
·  
changes in competition and pricing environments;
·  
natural and other disasters;
·  
the inability to hedge certain risks economically;
·  
the adequacy of loss reserves;
·  
technological changes;
·  
changes in consumer spending and saving habits; and
·  
the success of ABN AMRO in managing the risks relating to the foregoing.

Factors that could also adversely affect ABN AMRO’s results or the accuracy of forward-looking statements in this report, and the factors discussed here or in the section ‘Risk factors’, included in the ABN AMRO’s 2008 Annual Report, should not be regarded as a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties. ABN AMRO has economic, financial market, credit, legal and other specialists who monitor economic and market conditions and government policies and actions. However, because it is difficult to predict with complete accuracy any changes in economic or market conditions or in governmental policies and actions, it is hard for ABN AMRO to anticipate the effects that such changes could have on ABN AMRO’s financial performance and business operations.

The forward-looking statements made in this report speak only as at the date of publication of this report. ABN AMRO does not intend to publicly update or revise these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report, nor does ABN AMRO assume any responsibility to do so.

ABN AMRO Group reports first half 2009 financial results

Chairman’s Review

First half 2009 update
ABN AMRO recorded a loss after tax of EUR 2,647 million for the first half 2009. This comprises a loss after tax of EUR 2,763 million attributable to RBS acquired businesses, a gain of EUR 77 million attributable to the Dutch State acquired businesses, a loss of EUR 60 million attributable to the Group’s Central Items and a gain of EUR 99 million attributable to Santander’s remaining acquired businesses which are reported discontinued operations.

The loss after tax from continuing operations of EUR 2,746 million compares to a loss of EUR 2,860 million for the first half of 2008.  The movement reflects lower fair value losses on positions in the trading book and a general reduction in operating expenses due to the scaling down of certain activities within the Group offset by increases in loan impairment provisions.  For further analysis of the ABN AMRO Group results by business segment please refer to the Operating and Financial Review section of this report.

Update on Separation activity
RBS and the Dutch State continue to work towards the legal separation of the Dutch State acquired businesses from the residual RBS acquired businesses into two separate banks and additionally with Santander on the settlement of the Consortium shareholder agreement.  Important and critical milestones relating to the legal demerger and subsequent separation have recently been reached as we move towards legal separation.  This includes the completion of a major part of the technical separation of ABN AMRO’s banking and payments operating systems and processes.  Legal demerger, previously referred to as the legal segregation, will occur upon transfer of Dutch State acquired businesses out of ABN AMRO Bank N.V. into a separate legal entity, ABN AMRO II N.V., a fully owned subsidiary of ABN AMRO Holding N.V., that was incorporated and registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce earlier in 2009.  Legal separation out of the ABN AMRO Group will occur when ABN AMRO II N.V. is separated from the ABN AMRO Group and functions as a new independent bank. This is aimed to be achieved by the end of this year.

Constituting a pivotal step in the demerger process, ABN AMRO plans to file legal demerger documentation with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce in September 2009. This document outlines the Group’s legal demerger process and provides creditors of ABN AMRO Bank N.V. with pro forma financial information as of 30 June 2009 allowing for assessment of the impact of the legal transfers and demerger on ABN AMRO Bank N.V. The document includes information on the impact on employees, creditors and suppliers. As part of the restructuring process, the Dutch State acquired businesses and activities are being transferred into the newly formed entity ABN AMRO II N.V., subject to Dutch Central Bank approval. Subsequent to the transfer of selected entities into ABN AMRO II N.V. and completion of a demerger according to Dutch law of assets and liabilities to this entity, ABN AMRO II N.V. will be renamed "ABN AMRO Bank N.V.".  This bank will operate under a separate banking licence, a request for which has been submitted to the Dutch Central Bank. ABN AMRO expects to have obtained the banking licence before the execution of the legal demerger.
 
The smooth separation of these businesses from ABN AMRO Group remains a priority for the Managing Board, targeted for completion by the end of 2009 in line with our announced plans.  ABN AMRO Group and its shareholders intend to ensure that by legal separation both separate banks are adequately capitalized and have sound liquidity positions.  The Group continues to pursue the sale of part of the Dutch commercial clients’ activities and selected regional branch offices to comply with the requirements of the European Commission.  The sale will be subject to approval by the shareholder, the European Commission and the Dutch Central Bank.  A request for an extension of the sale period by the Dutch State to the European Commission has been granted until the beginning of September.

Following the separation of the Dutch State acquired businesses, the existing ABN AMRO Bank N.V. will be renamed "The Royal Bank of Scotland N.V." (‘RBS N.V.’). The future RBS N.V. will be an integral part of the RBS Group and will principally contain the international lending, international transaction services and equities businesses of the RBS Group.  These activities will continue to be subject to Dutch Central Bank supervision and on a consolidated basis as part of the RBS Group subject to UK Financial Services Authority supervision. Due to the change in the operating model of RBS N.V. compared to pre-acquisition ABN AMRO Bank N.V. a licence renewal application procedure is required.  This licence renewal application has been lodged with the Dutch Central Bank. ABN AMRO expects to have obtained the renewed banking licence before the execution of the legal demerger.

The Central Items business segment includes items (referred to as Shared Assets) that are not allocated to but economically shared by the Consortium Members and accumulated amounts payable to Santander arising from the disposal of Banco Real and other sales and settlements. The economic interest in the Shared Assets will remain shared until all Consortium Members have agreed on disposal, allocation or made other arrangements.

Governance until legal separation
Until final legal separation, expected to occur before the end of the year, ABN AMRO Group will continue to be governed by its Managing Board and Supervisory Board and regulated on a consolidated basis with capital ratios, liquidity measures and exposures being reported to and regulated by the Dutch Central Bank.

The Managing Board and the Supervisory Board of ABN AMRO Group have approved the intention to repatriate via RFS Holdings B.V. capital for the benefit of Santander in the amount of EUR 6.5 billion, subject to regulatory approval. Any future capital repatriations to individual Consortium Members are part of an overall capital plan authorised within the governance of ABN AMRO Group and agreed between Consortium Members.  Additionally, these are subject to regulatory approval.

RBS Strategic Review
The RBS interim results release on 7 August 2009 outlined further updates to its strategic restructuring plan, initially announced in the RBS Group 2008 Annual Results, which includes businesses acquired from ABN AMRO. The RBS Group has been restructured into Core and Non-core elements.  RBS expects to substantially run down or dispose of the businesses, assets and portfolios within the Non-core division by 2013.  Some ABN AMRO businesses are included in this new Non-core division, most notably certain businesses in Asia.  RBS recently announced that it had entered into a sale agreement with ANZ Group Limited to sell its Retail and Commercial Banking operations in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Indonesia and the onshore Global Banking and Markets, and Global Transaction Services operations in the Philippines, Vietnam and Taiwan. Completion of the transaction is expected within an eight to 13 month period depending on the jurisdiction. Additionally, on 12 August 2009 RBS announced that it had agreed to sell its 99.37% holding in The Royal Bank of Scotland Limited (RBS Pakistan) to MCB Bank Limited, subject to regulatory approvals. RBS remains in discussion with bidders for the remaining assets it has decided to sell in Asia.

Capital, liquidity and funding
ABN AMRO continues to be well funded and capitalised.  At 30 June 2009, the Group’s tier 1 ratio was 13.3% (31 December 2008: 10.9%) and the total capital ratio was 17.9% (31 December 2008: 14.4%).  This reflects a reduction in risk weighted assets in the first half year 2009 and a EUR 3 billion capital injection by its parent company RFS Holdings B.V.  Our capital ratios continue to exceed the minimum tier 1 and total capital ratios of 9% and 12.5% respectively set by the Dutch Central Bank during the separation period of ABN AMRO Group.  ABN AMRO continues to comfortably exceed the regulatory liquidity requirements.

On 6 July 2009 ABN AMRO successfully issued a five-year EUR 2 billion Covered Bond. The issuance enjoyed healthy demand from investors thus demonstrating the funding capabilities of ABN AMRO. This program is now also registered with the Dutch Central Bank. By the registration as a programme governed by the Dutch Covered Bond law, the programme complies with all requirements.

Update on capital actions due to legal separation
On 26 June 2009, the Minister of Finance of the Netherlands (the Minister) as part of an update letter to the Dutch Lower House of Parliament on the strategy, risk policy, legal structure and the separation plan, requested approval for specific capitalisation actions. In July 2009 the Dutch Parliament approved the Minister’s request to acquire a EUR 800 million Mandatory Convertible Tier-1 Security (MCS) to be issued by ABN AMRO Bank N.V. and enter into a Credit Default Swap (CDS) agreement with ABN AMRO Bank N.V.

The MCS has been issued and was acquired by the Ministry of Finance on 31 July 2009. When ABN AMRO II N.V. transfers out of ABN AMRO Holding N.V on legal separation the security will mandatorily convert into common equity of ABN AMRO II N.V.  The MCS pays a 10% coupon and ABN AMRO Bank N.V. may defer coupons at any time.  In case ABN AMRO Bank N.V. is in breach of minimum capital adequacy requirements, as set by the Dutch Central Bank, the coupon payments will be mandatorily deferred.

The CDS agreement was signed on 31 July 2009 with a start date of no later than 31 August 2009.  Through this arrangement ABN AMRO Bank N.V. will purchase credit protection, for a fee of 51.5 bps p.a. on the outstanding portfolio amount, currently EUR 34.5 billion portfolio of own originated residential mortgages.  Under the
 
Page 5 of 37

 
 UNAUDITED
 
agreement losses will be shared pari passu between ABN AMRO Bank N.V. for 5% and Dutch State for 95%, with a first loss for ABN AMRO Bank N.V. of 20bps p.a.  This CDS will reduce the risk-weighted assets of ABN AMRO Bank N.V. by EUR 19 billion.

Further capital may be required as a result of the sale of part of the Dutch commercial client activities and selected regional branch offices to comply with the requirements of the European Commission.

RBS will continue to ensure that its businesses included in the future RBS N.V. are appropriately capitalised.  RBS would not have to raise new capital for this, as any required capital transfers have already been factored into RBS Group’s capital plan.  Any capital transfers from RBS Group to RBS N.V. are subject to oversight by the UK Financial Services Authority.

Capital repatriation
On 7 August 2009 approval from the Dutch Central Bank was sought on the distribution of EUR 6.5 billion from ABN AMRO Bank N.V. to ABN AMRO Holding N.V. to enable ABN AMRO Holding N.V. to pay a dividend of EUR 6.5 billion to RFS Holdings B.V. for capital repatriation to its shareholder Santander, relating to realised proceeds from the 2008 sale of the Santander acquired businesses. Any further distribution for the benefit of Consortium Members will be subject to separate Dutch Central Bank approval and will be carried out upon the completion of planned capital actions.

ABN AMRO is comprised of three reportable segments, namely “RBS acquired”, “Dutch State acquired” and “Central Items”. The “RBS acquired” segment principally contains the international lending, international transaction services with operations in Europe, Asia and the Americas and the equities business of the RBS Group. The “Dutch State acquired” segment serves Dutch commercial clients, Dutch consumer clients, and Dutch and international private clients, and includes the International Diamond and Jewelry business. The “Central Items” segment includes items that are not allocated to but economically shared by the Consortium Members as well as accumulated amounts accruing to Banco Santander S.A. arising from the disposal of Banco Real and other sales and settlements.

In prior periods the Group disclosed six reportable segments, namely Europe, Americas, Asia, the Netherlands, Private Clients and Central Items. The change from six reportable segments to three reportable segments reflects the focus of the Managing Board on the creation and subsequent legal separation of the Dutch State acquired businesses from the residual RBS acquired businesses into two separate independent banks, and the consequential impact that this progression has had on the management of the Group. Comparative segment figures have been restated to reflect the current organisation structure.

Measurement of segment assets, liabilities, income and results is based on the Group’s accounting policies. Segment assets, liabilities, income and results include items directly attributable to a segment.

For an analysis of the current period performance see the commentary by business segment set forth below:

The businesses acquired by the Dutch State consist of the Dutch commercial and retail banking, international private clients and the International Diamond and Jewelry business. The results for the six months ended 30 June 2009 are not entirely comparable to the prior period due to the inclusion of certain funding and liquidity portfolios allocated to the Dutch State acquired businesses only as from 1 April 2008 onward.

Net interest income decreased by EUR 171 million, or 11%, to EUR 1,449 million reflecting a general pressure on customer and client interest rates and inclusion of the allocated funding and liquidity portfolios for the full period. The decrease in net fee and commission income of EUR 92 million, or 13%, is attributable to decreased investment activity by clients in response to the volatile conditions of the financial markets since the latter half of 2008. Net trading income decreased by EUR 74 million, or 81%, to EUR 17 million largely as a result of fair value losses recorded on a portfolio of public sector loans following increased credit spreads. Results from financial transactions revenue benefited from gains on the sale of debt securities. Lower net revenue levels from insurance activities due to an increase in claims in comparison to the prior period contributed to a decrease in other operating income of EUR 24 million, or 19%, to EUR 102 million.

Non-GAAP operating expenses decreased by EUR 64 million to EUR 1,747 million in 2009, reflecting a decrease in bonuses costs and other cost control measures. IFRS operating expenses increased by EUR 155 million, or 9%, to EUR 1,966 million due to the inclusion of consolidated private equity investments from the start of 2009

following an agreement reached between shareholders on the transfer of part of the private equity portfolio from Central Items to the Dutch State acquired businesses.

Loan impairment provisions have increased significantly by EUR 361 million, or 154%, to EUR 596 million. The higher loan impairment levels reflect higher specific loan provisioning levels and the need for management to reassess and raise the level of incurred but not identified allowances in response to the economic conditions and consequent expectations regarding loan losses.

Total assets increased predominantly as a result of purchases of high quality debt securities for asset and liability management purposes and higher settlement balances as at 30 June 2009. An increase in total liabilities is mainly attributable to increases in savings and current account balances for both the consumer and commercial customers. This has also supported the increase of the Assets under Management in Private Clients, which have furthermore benefited from the improvement in market conditions and a net inflow.  Overall levels of Assets under Management continue to be impacted by the weakness in the financial markets.

The RBS acquired businesses cannot be fully evaluated on a stand-alone basis, due to ongoing business transfers to, coupled with new business originated within, RBS. Reference should be made to the Interim Results for the half year ended 30 June 2009 of the RBS Group.

The RBS acquired businesses performance in the first half of 2009 decreased by EUR 19 million to a loss from continuing operations of EUR 2,763 million predominantly as a result of substantially higher levels of loan impairments for the same period despite improvements in total income and operating expenses.

Total income improved from a loss of EUR 811 million to a loss of EUR 150 million predominantly as a result of positive trading revenue in comparison to the prior period.

Net interest income decreased by EUR 618 million, or 44%, to EUR 783 million reflecting a continued reduction in the balance sheet, the inclusion of funding and liquidity portfolios for the full period and a general reduction in interest rates.

Net fee and commission income decreased by EUR 60 million, or 10%, to EUR 526 million mainly as a result of lower brokerage fees due to reduced market activity.

The improvement in trading income is due to lower losses on counterparty credit valuation adjustments (CVAs’) against monolines and lower write downs of collateralised debt obligations (CDOs) in comparison to the prior period. The losses in 2008 and in early 2009 relating to CDOs and monolines are not expected to reoccur due to the legal and risk transfer of most underlying instruments to RBS in the course of the first half year. Trading income also benefited from favourable results in the equities business in the United Kingdom, swap trading in Australia, and currency gains partially offset by falling prices on mortgage back securities held in a liquidity portfolio.

Results from financial transactions decreased by EUR 844 million to a loss of EUR 1,543 million. This is mainly attributable to fair value losses on a portfolio of credit default swaps used to hedge the loan book following tightening of credit spreads and EUR 240 million of losses on the sale of notes issued by regulatory relief programs and the conduit Orchid to RBS.  In addition, the first half of 2008 included significant gains arising from changes in own credit.

Share of results in equity accounted investments decreased by EUR 49 million to a loss of EUR 35 million due to the impairment of an infrastructure investment recognised in the first half of 2009. Other operating income decreased by EUR 74 million to a loss of EUR 27 million reflecting lower business disposal gains.

 UNAUDITED
 
Operating expenses decreased by EUR 337 million, or 13%, mainly as a result of lower personnel costs. Operating expenses for the first half of 2009 were also affected by the impairment of goodwill on Asian disposal units classified as held for sale of EUR 194 million.

Loan impairment provisions have significantly increased by EUR 871 million to EUR 1,113 million reflecting the challenging credit environment.

Total assets and total liabilities of the RBS acquired businesses have reduced significantly mainly due to the continued transfer of businesses and activity to RBS. Trading assets and liabilities reduced by EUR 112 billion due to novations, netting of derivatives and tightening of credit spreads. Reverse repurchase agreements reduced by EUR 25 billion and repurchase agreements reduced by EUR 20 billion due to the roll off of transactions to RBS and no further business being generated in ABN AMRO. Loans have reduced by EUR 22 billion due to maturing loans, transfers to RBS and the reclassification of EUR 4 billion of loans to held for sale as a result of agreed sales of a number of Asian businesses.

Deferred tax assets have increased significantly mainly due to significant trading losses, fair value losses on available-for-sale financial investments recognised in other comprehensive income and appreciation of deferred tax assets in foreign currency against the Euro.

For further information regarding the results of the RBS acquired businesses please refer to the RBS Interim Results for the half year ended 30 June 2009 published on 7 August 2009.

The Central Items business segment includes items (referred to as Shared Assets) that are not allocated to, but economically shared by the Consortium Members and accumulated amounts accruing to Banco Santander S.A. arising from the disposal of Banco Real and other sales and settlements.

On 1 April 2008, certain funding and liquidity portfolios were allocated to either the Dutch State acquired businesses or the RBS acquired businesses and therefore the 2009 results of these portfolios are now reflected in the respective business segment leading to results not being comparable between the financial periods due to the prospective nature of the allocation.

Net interest income improved by EUR 469 million to EUR 94 million. The 2008 figure includes the negative results relating to the Group funding and liquidity portfolios which were transferred out of Central Items and allocated to the other two business segments on 1 April 2008. Net trading income was limited due to the transfer out of most portfolios to the other segments. Non-GAAP results from financial transactions decreased by EUR 115 million to a negative result of EUR 214 million, predominantly as a result of losses recorded on the sale and revaluation of private equity investments. Other operating income increased by EUR 62 million to EUR 80 million predominantly as a result of gains on the sale of a stake in an infrastructure capital fund to Fortis Bank S.A. and a corporate finance business activity to RBS.

Operating expenses decreased by EUR 1,166 million to EUR 113 million (Non-GAAP operating expenses decreased by EUR 201 million, to EUR 100 million). Operating expenses for the first half of 2008 were predominantly related to expenses from consolidated private equity holdings which were transferred or sold in 2009.  The remaining decrease in operating results is due to lower personnel expenses as business activities are progressively reduced in line with the transition and separation plans.

Impact of the credit environment on the Group’s financial position and results of operations

1 Net exposure is the carrying value after taking account of hedge protection purchased from monolines and other counterparties. The hedge provides protection against the notional and interest cash flows due to the holder of debt instruments in the event of default by the debt security counterparty.

The Group’s total net exposure to asset-backed securities (‘ABS‘) of EUR 24 billion at 30 June 2009 has decreased by 15% during the first half of 2009 mainly as a result of transfers to RBS and maturing of certain positions. EUR 21.0 billion of the total net exposure to ABS relates to the Group’s holding of residential mortgage-backed securities (‘RMBS‘) which includes mortgage covered bonds (EUR 10.1 billion) and securities backed by mortgages covered by the Dutch mortgage guarantee scheme (EUR 7.9 billion). 30% of the total exposure to ABS was originated in 2007, 38% in 2006 and a further 20% in 2005.

During the first half of 2009 the net exposure to monoline insurers decreased significantly due to increased credit valuation adjustment (‘CVA’) levels, novations to RBS and an overlay swap transacted with RBS which transfers the daily movement in the CVA to RBS for a number of selected trades. The mark-to-market of this swap with RBS was EUR 35 million in favour of ABN AMRO at 30 June 2009.

The reduction in the net exposure to Credit Derivative Product Companies (‘CDPCs’) reflects trade novations to RBS.

At 30 June 2009 the total syndication and leveraged loan portfolio has either been sold or is now kept and managed as an integral part of the loan book.

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements

1           Basis of preparation and presentation
 
ABN AMRO Holding N.V. (referred to as ‘the Group’, ‘ABN AMRO’ or ‘ABN AMRO Group’) condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2009 are presented in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s audited financial statements as part of the Annual Report as at 31 December 2008, which was prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (‘IASB’) and IFRS as adopted by the European Union (‘EU’).
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all disclosures necessary for an understanding in the changes in financial position and performance of ABN AMRO since the end of the last annual reporting period have been made. In some instances presentation of comparative amounts has been amended to align with the current presentation.
 
Unless otherwise stated, all amounts are stated in millions of euros.
 
Changes in accounting policies
The same accounting policies and methods of computation are followed in these condensed consolidated financial statements as were applied in the preparation of the Group’s financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2008, except, where applicable, for the impact for the adoption of the Standards and interpretations described below.

 IAS 1 (revised 2007) Presentation of Financial Statements
(effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009)
The revised IAS 1 affects the presentation of owner changes in equity and of comprehensive income. Information is to be aggregated based on shared characteristics, specifically requiring disclosure of changes in equity arising from transactions with owners separate from other changes in equity. The Standard requires the entity to present all items of recognised income and expense including gains and losses either in one single statement or in two linked statements. In order to implement the revised IAS 1, ABN AMRO presents two statements, a separate income statement displaying components of profit or loss and a second statement, the statement of comprehensive income, which begins with profit or loss and displays components of other comprehensive income. The ‘owner’ changes in equity remain in the statement of changes in equity.

In addition to this, the Standard has introduced a number of terminology changes, including revised titles for the financial statements. ABN AMRO has renamed the balance sheet to ‘statement of financial position’ and the cash flow statement to ‘statement of cash flows’. Adoption of the revised Standard has had no impact on the reported results or financial position of the Group.

Adoption of amendments to the following Standards and Interpretations applicable to this accounting period did not have an impact on the accounting policies, financial position or performance of the Group:

IAS 23 Borrowing costs, IAS 32 Financial instruments, Presentation and IAS 1 Puttable Financial Instruments and Obligations arising on liquidation, IFRS 2 Share based payments, IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes, IFRIC 15 Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate,  IFRIC 16 Hedges of a Net Investment in a Foreign Operation and Improvements to IFRS issued in May 2008.

2          Segment reporting

ABN AMRO is comprised of three reportable segments, namely “RBS acquired”, “Dutch State acquired” and “Central Items”. The “RBS acquired” segment principally contains the international lending, international transaction services with operations in Europe, Asia and the Americas and the equities business of the RBS Group. The “Dutch State acquired” segment serves Dutch commercial clients, Dutch consumer clients, and Dutch and international private clients, and includes the International Diamond and Jewelry business. The “Central Items” segment includes items that are not allocated to but economically shared by the Consortium Members as well as settlement amounts accruing to Banco Santander S.A.

In prior periods the Group disclosed six reportable segments, namely Europe, Americas, Asia, the Netherlands, Private Clients and Central Items. The change from six reportable segments to three reportable segments reflects the focus of the Managing Board on the creation and subsequent legal separation of the Dutch State acquired businesses from the residual RBS acquired businesses into two separate independent banks, and the consequential impact that this progression has had on the management of the Group. Comparative segment figures have been restated to reflect the current organisation structure.

Measurement of segment assets, liabilities, income and results is based on the Group’s accounting policies. Segment assets, liabilities, income and results include items directly attributable to a segment.
 
In addition certain items previously reported as Central Items have been reallocated to either RBS acquired or Dutch State acquired. Comparative segment information for 2008 has also been adjusted to reflect these limited changes.

Central Items as noted includes items that are not allocated to but economically shared by the Consortium Members, as well as accumulated amounts accruing to Banco Santander S.A. arising from the disposal of Banco Real and other sales and settlements. In addition prior to April 2008, the majority of the Group Asset and Liability Management portfolios were economically shared prior to allocation to the respective Consortium Members. Since the allocation was effected on the basis of prospective agreements between Consortium Members, Group Asset and Liability Management results prior to this date are reported in Central Items. Remaining unallocated Group Asset and Liability Management portfolios continue to be reported in Central Items.

25           Subordinated liabilities
 
Issued liabilities qualify as subordinated debt if claims by the holders are subordinated to all other current and future liabilities of, respectively, ABN AMRO Holding N.V., ABN AMRO Bank N.V. and other Group companies. These liabilities qualify as capital, taking into account remaining maturities, for the purpose of determining the consolidated capital adequacy ratios for the Dutch Central Bank.

The following table analyses the subordinated liabilities by issuer:

Other Group companies
    2,344       2,354  
Total
    12,189       13,549  

Total subordinated liabilities include EUR 3,309 million (2008: EUR 3,317 million) which qualifies as tier 1 capital for capital adequacy purposes with the Dutch Central Bank, when taking into account remaining maturities.

The maturity profile of subordinated liabilities is as follows:

26           Note to the statement of cash flows

Net cash flows from financing activities

All repayments on subordinated liabilities are due to maturing of the securities. Repayment and repurchase of other long term funding consists of EUR 0.9 billion repurchase and EUR 7.9 billion repayment on maturity.  Issuance of equity funding is due to EUR 3.0 billion share premium increase by RFS Holdings B.V.

Currency translation differences on cash and cash equivalents

The adverse currency translation differences on cash and cash equivalents are mainly due to the effect of the appreciation of the British Pound against the Euro.

27           Capital adequacy

Subsequent to its acquisition by RFS Holdings B.V., ABN AMRO received approval for a transitional period from the Dutch Central Bank and the UK Financial Services Authority with regards to compliance to Basel II capital rules. ABN AMRO has agreed with these regulators to continue to report figures on the basis of Basel I until December 2009. In accordance with this, specific minimal requirements have been set for Tier 1 and Total capital ratios, including the requirement to treat the capital deductions in the same manner as required by Basel II.

These ratios measure capital adequacy by comparing the Group’s eligible capital with its balance sheet assets, off-balance sheet commitments and market and other risk positions at weighted amounts to reflect their relative risk. The market risk approach covers the general market risk and the risk of open positions in currencies and debt and equity securities primarily in the trading book. Assets are weighted according to broad categories of notional risk, being assigned a risk weighting according to the amount of capital deemed to be necessary to support them.

Tier 1 capital consists of shareholders’ equity and qualifying subordinated liabilities less goodwill and some intangible assets. The total capital ratio includes additional qualifying subordinated liabilities, taking into account the remaining maturities (tier 2 capital). Core tier 1 capital is tier 1 capital excluding qualifying subordinated liabilities.

The following table provides actual capital levels as determined for supervisory purposes:

At 31 December 2008 and 30 June 2009, the assets and liabilities of the private equity investments not allocated to individual Consortium Members as well as remaining Santander businesses were classified as disposal groups.

In addition, at 30 June 2009, disposal groups comprise the assets and liabilities of the Group's retail and commercial businesses across Asia and the wholesale banking businesses in Vietnam, Philippines, Taiwan and Pakistan. On 4 August 2009, the RBS Group announced that it had agreed to sell retail and commercial banking operations in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore and Indonesia together with its onshore wholesale operations in the Philippines, Vietnam and Taiwan to ANZ Group Limited, which are held by ABN AMRO.  Additionally, on 12 August 2009 RBS announced that it had agreed to sell its 99.37% holding in The Royal Bank of Scotland Limited (RBS Pakistan) to MCB Bank Limited.

Capital actions
On 26 June 2009, the Minister of Finance of the Netherlands (the Minister) as part of an update letter to the Dutch Lower House of Parliament on the strategy, risk policy, legal structure and the separation plan, requested approval for specific capitalisation actions. In July 2009 the Dutch Parliament approved the Minister’s request to acquire a EUR 800 million Mandatory Convertible Tier-1 Security (MCS) to be issued by ABN AMRO Bank N.V. and enter into a Credit Default Swap (CDS) agreement with ABN AMRO Bank N.V.
 
Page 29 of 37

 
 UNAUDITED
 
The MCS has been issued and was acquired by the Ministry of Finance on 31 July 2009. When ABN AMRO II N.V. transfers out of ABN AMRO Holding N.V., planned by the end of 2009, the security will mandatorily convert into common equity of ABN AMRO II N.V..  The MCS pays a 10% coupon and ABN AMRO Bank N.V. may defer coupons at any time.  In case ABN AMRO Bank N.V. is in breach of minimum capital adequacy requirements, as set by the Dutch Central Bank, the coupon payments will be deferred mandatorily.

Furthermore, the CDS agreement was signed on 31 July 2009 with a start date of no later than 31 August 2009.  Through this arrangement ABN AMRO Bank N.V. will purchase credit protection, for a fee of 51.5 bps p.a. on the outstanding portfolio amount, currently EUR 34.5 billion portfolio of own originated residential mortgages.  Under the agreement losses will be shared pari passu between ABN AMRO Bank N.V. for 5% and Dutch State for 95%, with a first loss for ABN AMRO Bank N.V. of 20bps p.a..  This credit default swap will reduce the risk-weighted assets of ABN AMRO Bank N.V. by EUR 19 billion.

Capital repatriation
On 7 August 2009 approval from the Dutch Central Bank was sought on the distribution of EUR 6.5 billion from ABN AMRO Bank N.V. to ABN AMRO Holding N.V. to enable ABN AMRO Holding N.V. to pay a dividend of EUR 6.5 billion to RFS Holdings B.V. for capital repatriation to its shareholder Santander, relating to realised proceeds from the 2008 sale of the Santander acquired businesses. Any further distribution for the benefit of Consortium Members will be subject to separate Dutch Central Bank approval and will be carried out upon the completion of planned capital actions.

30           Related parties

The UK Government through HM Treasury is the majority shareholder of The Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc, the ultimate consolidating parent of ABN AMRO. The Dutch State is one of the shareholders of ABN AMRO’s parent company, RFS Holdings B.V. As a result both the UK Government and the Dutch State are related parties of ABN AMRO Group. The Group enters into transactions with these and other related parties on an arms' length basis.

Related party transactions in the six months ended 30 June 2009 were similar in nature to those for the year ended 31 December 2008. Full details of the Group’s related party transactions for the year ended 31 December 2008 are included in the Group’s 2008 Annual Report.

31           Other contingencies

ABN AMRO is involved in a number of legal proceedings in the ordinary course of our business in a number of jurisdictions. In presenting our condensed consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates regarding the outcome of legal, regulatory and arbitration matters, and takes a charge to income when losses with respect to such matters are probable. Charges, other than those taken periodically for costs of defense, are not established for matters where losses can not be reasonably estimated. On the basis of information currently available, and having taken legal council with legal advisors, the Group is of the opinion that the outcome of these proceedings is unlikely to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position and the consolidated profit of the Group.

In July 2004, ABN AMRO signed a written agreement with the United States regulatory authorities concerning ABN AMRO’s dollar clearing activities in the New York branch. In addition, in December 2005, ABN AMRO agreed to a Cease and Desist Order with the Dutch Central Bank and various United States federal and state regulators. This involved an agreement to pay an aggregate civil penalty of USD 75 million and a voluntary endowment of USD 5 million in connection with deficiencies in the United States dollar clearing operations at ABN AMRO’s New York branch and the United States Department of Treasury compliance procedures regarding transactions originating at its Dubai branch. ABN AMRO and members of ABN AMRO’s management continue to provide information to law enforcement authorities in connection with ongoing criminal investigations relating to ABN AMRO’s dollar clearing activities, United States Department of Treasury compliance procedures and other Bank Secrecy Act of 1970 compliance matters. The Cease and Desist Order with the Dutch Central Bank was lifted on 26 July 2007 and the Cease and Desist Order agreed with the United States authorities was lifted on 9 September 2008. Although no written agreement has yet been reached and negotiations are ongoing, ABN

AMRO has reached an agreement in principle with the United States Department of Justice that would resolve all presently known aspects of the ongoing investigation. Under the terms of the agreement in principle, ABN AMRO and the United States would enter into a deferred prosecution agreement in which ABN AMRO would waive indictment and agree to the filing of information in the United States District Court charging it with certain violations of federal law based on information disclosed in an agreed factual statement. ABN AMRO would also agree to continue co-operating in the United States’ ongoing investigation and to settle all known civil and criminal claims currently held by the United States for the sum of USD 500 million. The precise terms of the deferred prosecution agreement are still under negotiation.
 
These compliance issues and the related sanctions and investigations have had, and will continue to have an impact on ABN AMRO’s operations in the United States, including limitations on expansion. ABN AMRO is actively exploring all possible options to resolve these issues. The ultimate resolution of these compliance issues and related investigations and the nature and severity of possible additional sanctions cannot be predicted.

The Group’s position in RMBS has slightly decreased in the first half of 2009. The held for trading position consists of prime European RMBS positions held as part of the RBS allocated Group Asset and Liability Management portfolios. The available-for-sale RMBS positions are backed by mortgages covered by the Dutch mortgage guarantee scheme and were AAA rated at 30 June 2009.

96% of residential mortgage covered bonds were AAA rated at 30 June 2009. All residential mortgage covered bonds were originated in Europe, of which 79% in Spain.

The commercial mortgage-backed securities (‘CMBS‘) position is now fully hedged and was originated in Europe.

The collateralised debt obligations (‘CDO‘) / collateralised loan obligations (‘CLO‘) exposure decreased significantly due to transfers to RBS during the first half of 2009. As part of the transfer, all super senior CDO positions (31 December 2008: EUR 636 million) were sold to RBS. A loss of EUR 203 million was recognised on those positions in 2009 prior to the transfer. The remaining available-for-sale portfolio comprises of other senior CDOs (EUR 270 million), which are held in RBS allocated Group Asset and Liability Management portfolios and were AAA rated at 30 June 2009.

The net exposure to ABSs backed by assets other than residential mortgages, such as sovereign or public entities debt, amounts to EUR 2.7 billion (31 December 2008: EUR 3.6 billion) and is mainly related to AAA European (41% Germany, 38% Spain) covered bonds held in RBS allocated Group Asset and Liability Management portfolios. The decrease is due to maturing of the papers, transfers to RBS, sale of part of the portfolio and a decrease in fair value.

The net loss through income in the first half of 2009 amounts to EUR 1.4 billion and relates to increased levels of CVA recorded against the exposures to monoline insurers (mainly against MBIA and Assured Guaranty).

The monoline insurer CVA is calculated on a trade-by-trade basis, and is derived using market observable monoline credit spreads. The perceived deterioration in the credit quality of the monolines has been reflected by ratings downgrades. Market observable credit spreads have widened with lower recovery rate assumptions and this has resulted in relatively increased levels of CVA being recorded against the exposures to these counterparties.

Of the EUR 947 million hedges with bank counterparties EUR 865 million is subject to an overlay swap transacted with RBS which transfers the daily movement in the credit valuation adjustment (“CVA”) to RBS for these trades. The mark-to-market of this swap with RBS was EUR 35 million in favour of ABN AMRO at 30 June 2009.

The decrease in the notional amount and the related CVA during the first half of 2009 was driven mainly by trade novations to RBS. The CVA on remaining positions decreased due to increases in the fair value of the insured assets. The remaining positions are planned to be novated to RBS in the 3rd quarter 2009.
