1Fair value gains/losses on own liabilities are an element of fair value accounting under US GAAP. They reflect the volatility of the Group's credit spreads and, over the life of the respective liability, will result in no gains or losses.

2 Adjusted for the accelerated compensation expense in 1Q12 by replacing PAF2 expense with assumed share-based awards expense for 1Q 12. This calculation assumes that share-based awards (with three-year vesting) had been awarded in lieu of PAF2 awards (with accelerated vesting) during 1Q12.
