1 Financial guarantees contracts are contracts that require the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss incurred
because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with the original or modified terms of a debt instrument. The
amounts in the above table are nominal principal amounts.
2 Credit related guarantees are contracts that have similar features to financial guarantee contracts but fail to meet the strict definition of a
financial guarantee contract under IAS 39.
The amounts disclosed in the above table reflect the group’s maximum exposure under a large number of individual
guarantee undertakings. The risks and exposures arising from guarantees are captured and managed in accordance with
the group’s overall credit risk management policies and procedures. Guarantees with terms of more than one year are
subject to the group’s annual credit review process.
Other commitments
In addition to the commitments disclosed above, at 31 December 2014 the group had capital commitments to purchase,
within one year, land and buildings and other fixed assets from a number of suppliers for a value of £8 million (2013: £14
million).
The group had no contingent liabilities or commitments in relation to joint ventures or associates, incurred jointly or
otherwise.
