against Argentina exposures booked in the US.
The 2002 totals reflect a £7m UK specific provision charge within the Business
Banking lending book based on a statistical methodology which enables the
earlier recognition of specific impairment. There has been a corresponding
release of the UK general provision.

6. Potential credit risk lendings
The following table presents an analysis of potential credit risk lendings in
accordance with the US Securities and Exchange Commission guidelines.
Additional categories of disclosure are included, however, to record lendings
where interest continues to be accrued and where either interest is being
suspended or specific provisions have been raised. Normal US banking practice
would be to place such lendings on non-accrual status.
The amounts, the geographical presentation of which is based on the location of
the office recording the transaction, are stated before deduction of the value
of security held, specific provisions carried or interest suspended.

The geographical coverage ratios reflect an allocation of general provisions.
UK non-performing loans increased by £571m to £3,534m reflecting increases in
both personal and corporate lending balances.
US non-performing loans increased by £301m to £618m reflecting the impact of
Argentina exposures booked in the US and the continued difficult economic
conditions on the telecommunications and energy sectors. US coverage also
reflects the practice of writing off non-performing loans earlier than is the
practice in other geographic areas.

exceeded 1% of assets were United States, Germany and France. In this context,
assets comprise total assets as presented in the consolidated balance sheet and
include acceptances. On this basis total assets amounted to £392,107m at 30th
June 2002 (31st December 2001: £359,071m).

December 2001 the countries in this category were Japan £2,997m and Netherlands
£2,777m.
9. European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU)
Barclays is maintaining a prudent programme to validate and develop further its
existing plans relating to the potential membership of EMU by the UK, and to
conduct feasibility studies with selected suppliers and partners.
Barclays has contributed to the development of, and supports the conclusions
arising from, the British Bankers' Association and Association for Payment
Clearing Services' UK Banking Industry Outline Euro Blueprint published in June
2002.
Given the considerable uncertainty that continues to surround whether and when
the UK may enter, it has not been possible to draw any definitive conclusions as
to the final overall cost of preparing retail systems and operations.
Barclays incurred minimal expenditure during the first half of 2002 with respect
to any decision to introduce the euro in the UK. No significant incremental
costs are expected in the remainder of the year.
10. Legal proceedings
Barclays is party to various legal proceedings, the ultimate resolution of which
is not expected to have a significant effect on the financial position or
profitability of the Group.

Derivatives entered into as trading transactions, together with any associated
hedging thereof, are measured at fair value and the resultant profits and losses
are included in dealing profits. The tables below summarise the positive and
negative fair values of such derivatives, including an adjustment for netting
where the Group has the ability to insist on net settlement which is assured
beyond doubt, based on a legal right that would survive the insolvency of the
counterparty.

14. Market risk
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse movements in the level or
volatility of market prices, which can occur in the interest rate, traded
credit, foreign exchange, equity and commodity markets. It is incurred as a
result of both trading and asset/liability management activities.
The market risk management policies of the Group are determined by the Group
Risk Oversight Committee, which also recommends overall market risk appetite to
Group Executive Committee. The Group's policy is that exposure to market risk
arising from trading activities should be concentrated in Barclays Capital. The
Group's banking businesses are also subject to market risk, which arises in
relation to non-trading positions, such as capital balances, demand deposits and
customer originated transactions and flows.
The Group uses a 'value at risk' measure as the primary mechanism for
controlling market risk. Daily Value at Risk (DVaR) is an estimate, with a
confidence level of 98%, of the potential loss which might arise if the current
positions were to be held unchanged for one business day. Daily losses
exceeding the DVaR figure are likely to occur, on average, only twice in every
one hundred business days. Actual outcomes are monitored regularly to test the
validity of the assumptions made in the calculation of DVaR.
Barclays Capital
In Barclays Capital, the formal process for the management of risk is through
the Barclays Capital Risk Management Committee. Day-to-day responsibility for
market risk lies with the senior management of Barclays Capital, supported by a
dedicated market risk management unit that operates independently of the trading
areas.
DVaR is the main tool used for controlling market risk. In addition to DVaR,
there are a number of complementary techniques used to control market risk.
These include revenue loss triggers and weekly firm wide stress tests which are
also subject to trigger limits.
Barclays Capital uses the historical simulation method for calculating DVaR.
The length of the historical sample is two years. In August 2000 the interest
rate DVaR methodology was enhanced with interest rate exposures being mapped
into eight rather than two categories. The eight categories in the enhanced
methodology are: government, interest rate swaps and six credit grades for
non-government exposures. This allows the system to discriminate between the
market risk of holding bonds with different credit qualities, for example AAA
securities as against non-investment grade securities. In particular, it shows
the effectiveness of hedging strategies such as shorting government bonds or
swaps against non-government bond portfolios. The DVaR numbers for both 2002
and 2001 reflect this enhancement.
Overall market risk exposure for the first half of 2002 increased compared to
2001, due mainly to an increase in interest rate risk. Total DVaR for the first
half of 2002 averaged £22.4m compared to £20.0m for the first half of 2001, and
£17.0m for the second half of 2001. Total DVaR as at end June 2002 was £15.5m.
