Total income increased £70 million in the quarter to £892 million. Net interest income increased 3% to

more than offset lower asset margins. Non-interest income increased by £54 million or 20%, reflecting
higher gains on equity disposals in the quarter.
Operating expenses increased £57 million to £466 million driven by a £59 million provision for litigation
and conduct costs and increased restructuring costs.
Impairment losses increased to £26 million, reflecting increased individual charges and the non-repeat
of a net latent release of £13 million in Q1 2015.
Net loans and advances to customers increased £1.3 billion, reflecting £2.1 billion from the transferred
business offset by seasonal reductions and a high level of contractual maturities in June. Lowe
r
deposits, down £2.0 billion, reflected the outflow of short term funds placed by customers at the end o
f
Q1 2015.
RWAs increased £1.4 billion to £66.9 billion, including £2.1 billion from the transferred businesses.

y
£51 million or 10%, reflecting increased asset and deposit volumes and higher deposit margins, which

t
initiatives and lower headcount.

release of £59 million, partially offset by lower individual and collective charges.
