Ladies and Gentlemen This report prepared at your request is a summary of three reports on Anglo Irish Bank Corporation plc (“Anglo” or the “Bank”) (the “Summary Report”), comprising 294 pages, prepared by PwC dated 27 September, 27 November and 17 December 2008 (the “PwC Reports”). The PwC Reports were prepared in accordance with your specific instructions, which required us to focus solely on the largest customer loan exposures (by regulatory grouping) and the main treasury exposures of Anglo as at 31 August 2008 and 30 September 2008 in order to assist you in your review of the financial and capital position of Anglo. These instructions were confirmed in our contracts dated 18 September, 9 October and 25 November 2008 (the “Instructions”). The PwC Reports were prepared for the purposes set out in the Instructions and for no other purpose. We draw your attention to important comments regarding the scope and process of our work, immediately following this letter. We have not sought to update any of our findings since the completion of our fieldwork on 10 December 2008. In particular you have requested that this Summary Report excludes all commercially sensitive information on individual bank customers or loan balances, which remains confidential. Disclosure of this information has already been made to the Board of IFSRA, the National Treasury Management Agency and the Department of Finance. Unauthorised disclosure of any information contained in the PwC Reports remains prohibited under Section 33AK of the Central Bank Act 1942 and the Data Protection Acts 1988 and 2003 (together “the Acts”) . By its nature this is a significantly summarised report which excludes large elements of the PwC Reports, particularly those specific to individual bank customers or loans, due both to their confidential nature and our continuing obligations under the Acts. As a result of the previous two paragraphs, and given that much of this Summary Report has been extracted without adjustment from the original PwC Reports, some of the information presented in this Summary Report may be out of context or out of date. Except as described in the Instructions, we will not accept any duty of care (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) to any other person or body other than you. Yours faithfully

Purpose of PwC reports and exclusion of customer and other information (1 of 2)

Purpose of PwC Reports

The PwC Reports were prepared to assist IFSRA in its review of the financial and capital position of Anglo and for no other purpose. The PwC Reports were prepared using financial and loan portfolio information supplied by Anglo’s management which was not subject to audit by PwC. We also had access to senior executives at Anglo. The audit is a separate process under statute which we understand will be completed in the week ending 20 February 2009. PwC are not Anglo’s statutory auditors. We have had no access to the work undertaken by the auditors or their conclusions. Our work was completed in accordance with the specific terms of reference set out in the Instructions.

Customer information

This Summary Report excludes specific customer related, forward looking and other information for the following reasons: • Under the terms of the Data Protection Acts 1988 and 2003 (“DPA”) there is a requirement not to disclose personal information in relation to Anglo’s customers and counterparties. We have been advised that there is no clear means in the DPA to permit provision by PwC of a report to the Minister if the report contains personal data on individuals; • Even if disguised, to reveal customer information or information through which customers could be identified would be a breach of the Central Bank Acts pertaining to customer confidentiality and banking secrecy; and • Anglo has public debt and we have been advised that there is a risk of a breach of law if forward looking information were to be publically disclosed without being subject to a detailed verification process. The results of the work on the value of property held as security for loans has been excluded from this Summary Report on the grounds of customer confidentiality and commercial sensitivities. The vast bulk of the PwC Reports was a description of customers’ loan exposures, none of which is included in this Summary Report. The descriptions of customers included a summary of various loans, partnerships, underlying assets, security etc.

Completion of work

We have not carried out any work or made any enquiries of Anglo’s management since 10 December 2008 being the date on which we completed our fieldwork on Phase III. The PwC Reports do not incorporate the effects, if any, of events and circumstances which may have occurred or information which may have come to light subsequent to that date. We make no representation as to whether, had we carried out such work or made such enquiries, there would have been a material effect on the PwC Reports. Further, we have no obligation to update, and we will not update, the PwC Reports nor do we have any obligation to notify you if any matters come to our attention which might affect the continuing validity of our comments or conclusions.

Section 1 - Scope of Work

Scope of work and process undertaken

Financial Statements

The management accounts for the year ended 30 September 2008 were in the process of being finalised, including the final review of advances and treasury assets for impairments at the dates of our reviews. The 2008 final audit was still in progress at the time of drafting this report. As such the final reported 2008 position could change from that reported to us by management.

Report issuance dates

The PwC Reports were issued to IFSRA on the following dates: - Phase I - issued on 27 September 2008 - Phase II - issued on 27 November 2008 - Phase III - issued on 17 December 2008 In addition working drafts were issued on various other dates during the period from the commencement of our work to 17 December 2008. We also issued a supplemental report incorporating the work of the independent property valuer. We have not sought to update this Summary Report for any events since the date of completion of our fieldwork (10 December 2008).

PwC Risks/Observations

Where we have made comments and observations about possible asset write downs and scenarios, these are for indicative purposes only. We have not sought to mark to market property assets in the present economic environment, (where the market for property assets is largely illiquid); in that context it is difficult to forecast the out-turn of any immediate short term assets sales or asset developments. See also page 9 – Independent Property Valuation. Because events and circumstances frequently do not occur as expected, there will always be differences between predicted and actual results, and those differences may be material.

Management representations

We showed working drafts of the original PwC Reports to, certain members of senior management, who have confirmed that, to the best of their knowledge and belief, they did not contain any material error of fact, there had been no material omission and that they fairly set out the recent results and state of affairs of the Group. To the extent that we considered appropriate, we have incorporated their comments in the original PwC Reports. Management did not concur with all of our conclusions in relation to loan impairments and other matters.

Section 1 - Scope of Work

Scope of work and review process undertaken

Review Process

Phase I of our work was undertaken in a nine day period commencing on 18 September 2008. We visited the headquarters of the Bank in St. Stephen’s Green, Dublin 2 but none of the other lending locations, including the UK and USA. We had access to the CEO, CFO, MD Ireland, Head of Risk Management, Senior Manager Risk Management, Director of Group Treasury, Head of Liquidity and Market Risk Manager. Phase II of our work commenced on 14 October 2008. We visited the headquarters of the Bank in St. Stephen’s Green, Dublin 2 but none of the other lending locations, including the UK and USA. We held meetings with senior UK lenders in Dublin and US senior management by video conference. We had open access to all senior management, Lending, Risk and Finance staff including the CEO, the CFO and the Director of Lending and various other members of senior management including the key relationship lending managers. Phase III of our work commenced on 24 November 2008. We visited the headquarters of the Bank in St. Stephen’s Green, Dublin 2 and the Bank’s USA head office in Boston. We held meetings with senior UK lenders in Dublin. We had open access to all senior management, Lending, Risk and Finance staff.

Access to information (Phase I)

Our information was obtained primarily from Anglo’s August 2008 reporting pack and discussions with management. In addition, we reviewed a sample of Anglo credit reviews (concentrating on the main customer exposures by size) and liquidity reports which were prepared in September 2008.

Access to information (Phases II and III)

Our information on the customer loan exposures was obtained primarily from credit review sheets prepared by management, credit files and discussions with senior relationship lending underwriters and senior central credit risk personnel. In the time available and due to the extensive documentation we have not conducted a detailed review of all documents on the credit files.

Complexity of business

The Group is a complex business which produces a substantial amount of financial information for internal and entity reporting requirements. As a result of the time available to undertake our review and complete our reports, we were not able to review all the relevant financial and management information available at 31 August 2008 (Phase I) and 30 September 2008 (Phases II and III).

Significant scope matters (Phase II)

We point out that, our Phase II work did not include a review of cases outside the 62 large cases included in our loan sample. Smaller loans, that is, approximately less than €300 million in size for investment loans and €150 million for development loans may have different characteristics and risk factors that may make them higher risk in terms of their potential for impairment. We do not comment on such matters in this report. We have not been able in the time available to us to check any of the underlying documentation, the adequacy of security, valuation reporting etc.

Focus on the problem Commercial Real Estate loans and carry out a desk top review of the Bank’s valuation of the underlying properties based on a medium term (3 to 5 years) view of potential future value. 3. Assess the valuation methodology used by each Institution.

Significant scope matters – Phase III

Smaller loans, that is, approximately less than €330 million in size for investment loans and €64 million for development loans may have different characteristics and risk factors that may make them higher risk in terms of their potential for impairment. We do not comment on such matters in this report. We have not been able in the time available to us to check any of the underlying documentation, the adequacy of security, valuation reporting etc.

Discussion Point

Comments

Trading

Anglo generated PBT (after impairment charges) of €1.3 billion for the 11 months to 31 August 2008, up from €1.1 billion in 2007. In the period from 31 March 2008 to 31 August 2008 loans and advances to customers increased from €69.0 billion to €71.9 billion. Customers’ deposits declined during this period, with a further decline by 19 September 2008. Debt securities issued also declined from 30 June 2008 to 31 August 2008.

Credit management

Anglo operates a very centralised credit management, with short reporting lines and clear responsibilities.

Loan Quality

According to August management information almost all of the Bank’s loan book, equating to c.99% of total customer loans, is considered by management to be performing. 0.6% of the Bank’s loan book is classified as impaired, but significant security is in place to minimise the Bank’s loss given default. 2.6% of the book is classified as “Watch” i.e. loans are performing but require intensive management to ensure that the Bank does not incur any loss. Loans that are classified as Watch cases do not necessarily migrate to impaired.

Customer concentration

As at 31 August 2008, the top 20 Irish regulatory groups represented €11.4 billion or 26.5% of the total Irish loan book. The top 20 regulatory groups in the UK represented €8.3 billion, or 46% of the UK loan book, and the top 20 regulatory groups in the US represented €3.0 billion or 32.4% of the US loan book. There are potentially substantial exposures to a number of key customers.

Guarantees and cross collateral

From a review of the loan files it is evident that personal guarantees and net asset statements are obtained from borrowers. While these show the borrowers’ net worth in a favourable position it must be noted that collateral valuations, in particular property, in the current environment may be significantly lower and realising some of these collateral assets may be difficult. However, given the satisfactory performance of the book to end of August 2008 it is not anticipated by Anglo management that forced ‘fire sales’ of collateral will occur.

Key findings for discussion Phase I (Page 2 of 2)

Discussion Point Liquidity

Comments As of 27 September 2008, Anglo was forecasting net negative cash of €12.0 billion by 17 October 2008. The principal reason is a €10 billion reduction in corporate and retail deposits consistent with recent deterioration. There has been a €5 billion deterioration in corporate deposits and €440 million deterioration in retail deposits in the last week. The projections assume completion of a securitisation of part of the loan book for €2.2 billion and successful bidding for ECB funds. The Inter bank and debt capital markets are effectively closed at present and the projections assume a continuation of these market conditions.

Banking Book Assets

Banking Book Assets (Available-for-sale financial assets) includes RMBS’s, ABS’s, CDO’s totalling €1.9 billion which are difficult to value and probably illiquid in the current market.

Section 3.2 - Phase II Extracts (27 November 2008)

Anglo’s business model was successful with many years of uninterrupted profit growth, however, in common with the sector, changing economic circumstances highlight a number of key underlying risks (1 of 4) Area Business model

Comment The Bank’s business model is to lend on a senior first secured basis to proven operators against investment (cash flow supported but often highly geared) and development property assets with cross collateral and, in most cases, supported by personal guarantees from the principals. New lending to existing customers is supported by both the asset being acquired and the customer’s pool of assets held as security. Where possible net worth/asset statements are obtained from borrowers with estimates made where this is not possible. Loans are priced off market rates which means that there is a positive interest margin earned. Management believe that Anglo attracts the highest level of security, recourse and risk adjusted margin in its markets. Management have asserted that the Bank only underwrites loans based on a thorough understanding of the client. It does not accept deals underwritten by brokers or other banks and it never purchases loans from other banks/entities. All loans are underwritten on the assumption that they will remain on the Bank’s balance sheet throughout their term.

Historical Financial Performance

The Bank generated profits before tax of €1.221 billion in 2007 and is presenting pro forma profits before tax of €1.5 billion (after treasury but before lending impairments) in the year ended 30 September 2008. This amount is subject to audit. Since 1990, the Bank has incurred an average rate of lending impairment of 43bps per annum, reaching a maximum of 101bps in the years 1990 to 1993.

Management and People

We were informed that Anglo’s senior management team has significant experience in banking, underwriting, risk and wider financial services. Most of the senior underwriters have in excess of 15-20 years lending risk experience in the sector and relevant markets and have worked through previous economic cycles. Many have worked with Anglo for long periods whilst others bring experience from other institutions.

Comment

Interest roll up

In common with other banks, Anglo provides interest roll up facilities when providing development facilities where supported by expected future cash flows. The extent to which interest roll up is permitted in any case is determined by policy limits, including the strength of the individual client, other cash flows and security and underlying asset values. Management indicated that interest roll up is continually assessed by relevant lending directors and Group Risk Management and may be extended where deemed appropriate, for example, as underlying asset values increase or to reflect the strength of a borrower or as part of a restructuring. This would be consistent with our sample reviews of the larger loans, particularly longer term Irish development land plays. The cumulative amount rolled up on any individual facility can normally be identified. Interest roll up and capitalisation is permitted under IFRS.

Investment property loans

In some cases Anglo lends on an interest only basis against cash generative investment properties depending on its risk assessment. In certain cases capital repayments will be derived from asset sales or refinancing. The critical risk assessment in management’s view is the robustness of the contractual cash flows derived from the subject property which service and repay the debt facility.

Investment property - security

Development loans are converted into investment loans when a development is completed and assets become revenue earning (tenants in place) and in many cases, the loans are retained on the Bank’s books post development. The Bank has a significant portfolio funding investment property lending in its Irish book. In the case of a client engaged in the acquisition of overseas assets (mainly UK and Europe), such loans will typically be secured upon the overseas asset and also cross collateralised on the borrower’s Irish security.

Comment

Equity release

In accordance with industry norms, the Bank will in certain circumstances provide equity release facilities where there has been capital and/or income appreciation to allow customers to invest in other projects. The underwriting of equity release facilities considers inter alia, the strength of the client and the quality of its asset base in line with normal underwriting procedures.

Property developer land banks built up over time

A number of key property developer customers purchase or take options over land banks a considerable period of time in advance of local area plans, zoning, planning permission etc. being available. As a result they may end up carrying land at a low base cost relative to current market values. In recent years this model would have allowed them to accrue significant uplifts in value over time which they realise by selling sites with planning permission or through development. The risk is whether with their equity and other resources they have the ability to carry the interest due on loans funding the transactions. Management state that the Bank’s involvement in major land/development deals has reduced over the past three/fours years.

Close relationships with key customers

Anglo has built up strong relationships with its key customers. Management state that this strategy of developing deep relationships with what it deems to be the strongest operators is deliberate. From our review of the larger loans in the portfolio it is evident that a small number of key customers are involved in a large number of transactions and represent a significant proportion of the loan portfolio. Anglo considers itself able to attain a thorough understanding of its client’s business, finances and relevant risks, which are continually reassessed in face to face client meetings often held weekly.

Credit grading

There are a number of customers which are not currently on the Bank’s watch, notable or impairment lists all of whom exhibit potentially serious short term liquidity issues. However, by virtue of their size and risk profile senior management represented to us that all are subject to regular monitoring up to Executive Director, Board Risk and Compliance Committee and main Board level. Management have confirmed that the September notable/watch/impairment lists have been updated to include these customers.

Section 3.2 - Phase II Extracts (27 November 2008)

Anglo’s approach to lending: key assumptions re security valuations and stress assumptions

Area Security valuations

Comment The security valuations included in Anglo’s LTV calculations reflect the following general factors which may be amended to reflect specific circumstances: - Land valued at the lower of cost or market value - Construction work in progress at cost - Completed development properties at net sales value - Other properties at latest independent external valuations provided by a bank appointed valuer - The value of shares in private companies are discounted by 50%.

Stress assumptions

Customer relationships and loans are stressed on an individual basis rather than across the book. In arriving at stressed LTV’s the Bank discounts property values by 20%. Interest cover is stressed by increasing base interest rates by 2%. In the current environment it is unlikely that this will be a significant problem. Rental income to interest cover is stressed by reducing rental income by 10% with no allowance for in course increases in rental income.

Liquidity

The scope of our review has not been to concentrate specifically on the wider issue of liquidity in world banking following the effective closure of the normal inter-bank lending markets. However, the Anglo model is dependent on customers’ ability to successfully refinance significant development and investment loan portfolios in the short to medium term. This is exacerbated where (i) Anglo is the lead bank in a wider syndicated loan or (ii) significant additional debt funding would be required for the successful build completion to derive value from development land banks held by key customers. While the stress scenarios applied by management assume no new net lending for 2009 and 2010, it is assumed Anglo will successfully re-finance its own short term borrowings in that period.

Section 3.2 - Phase II Extracts (27 November 2008)

Current economic difficulties are likely to impact Anglo in 2009 and subsequent years

Area Difficult economic conditions for Anglo and its key customers

Comment Anglo has performed very strongly over the past number of years and expects to generate a core business profit of €1.7 billion before treasury write downs and loan provisions in 2008. Anglo projects this level of core business profit to continue for the next number of years because most of its income is annuity based derived from its lending assets. The business environment in which the Bank and its peers operate has deteriorated significantly in the past six months and in line with this general trading conditions have deteriorated significantly. The carrying cost of assets may not exceed their economic value even if they are realisable and as a result the option of interest roll up may not be available to customers to the same extent as to date. In addition, while demographics remain favourable, the continued unavailability of mortgage funding and increasing unemployment may exacerbate already reduced demand for residential property resulting in a fall in price for units already built and less demand for new developments on the land banks held by Anglo’s clients. The retail trade is also struggling and if the difficult economic conditions continue into the medium term shopping centres and retail developments may begin to experience trading difficulties or not be developed. A number of Anglo’s customers have significant exposures to the retail sector with Retail Investment and Retail Development loans accounting for 16% and 4% of the Bank’s loan book respectively. Whilst these issues may not lead to impairment in Anglo’s 2008 results, a further deterioration in market conditions could lead to a reduction in the discounted cash flow attributable to certain assets and thereby materially impact future impairment charges. As with the sector in Ireland and internationally, the Bank adopts impairment recognition policies as prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

Large customer exposures

The Bank has a number of very large exposures with approximately 15 relationships in excess of €500 million. The size of these exposures increases the risk profile of the Bank. However, the Bank considers that in all cases they are supported by diverse portfolios of assets underpinned by material contractual cashflows and with significant personal/corporate recourse.

Our review has identified concentrations of lending in a number of areas, for example, shopping centres and land banks in the greater Dublin area (1 of 2)

Area

Comment

Large customers with cashflow difficulties

We understand from management that a number of the Bank’s larger customers are experiencing short term cashflow difficulties at present and are in the process of disposing of non-core and in some cases trading assets. The diversity of the customer’s asset base, the reliability of underlying cash flows, the quality of the Bank’s security (including recourse) and the value it will realise along with potential actions of other Banks will dictate in the first instance the existence or otherwise of impairment and thereafter the level of potential loan loss, if any, the Bank may incur.

Shopping Centre Concentration

The Bank has lending exposures secured on shopping centres in the greater Dublin region. The exposures may be lending against completed centres or sites for future development (albeit any existing or future commitments to fund expansions are/will be conditional on pre-lets etc.). In the current economic environment with a forecast decline in retail sales and disposable incomes it is difficult to see any material uplift in shopping spend which may in turn affect tenant demand and undermine the feasibility of some of these development projects. The Bank considers the structure of the facilities in place, being cross-collateralised and/or supported by existing rental flows from well established, well let and high quality tenanted assets to be a significant risk mitigant.

Area

Comment

North Dublin land banks/ development sites

There are large exposures to a number of developers with land banks and development sites which are geographically close in North Dublin and contiguous areas. We have not estimated the number of residential sites potentially available in these locations. Successful development of all these locations is dependent on a number of factors including completion of local area development plans, zoning etc., an increase in demand from current depressed levels, services/infrastructure build and continued availability of financing.

South Dublin land banks/ development sites

There are also large exposures to a number of developers with residential land banks and development sites which are geographically close in South Dublin and Wicklow. There is currently a large over-hang of unsold higher density residential units in these areas. Successful development of all these locations is dependent on similar factors to North Dublin as noted above.

Funds to develop land banks

There are large current and potential exposures to a number of developers with development sites. Significant funds (which have not been committed) will be required to develop these commercial sites to realise their value.

Other risks include UK hotels and pubs and other banks in syndicates

Area

Comment

UK Hotels and UK Pub Trade

Anglo has loans to certain UK hotel chains. Anglo management view exposure to this sector as diversified with respect to geography, asset class and underlying cash flows. Any slow down in economic activity in the UK may impact the profitability of these hotels and ultimately the recoverability of underlying loans. Anglo management has assured us that all are trading satisfactorily. The UK pub trade is also experiencing difficulties. Anglo has exposures to this sector including a number of pub chains in the Watch/Notable category, however, none form part of the Top 20 relationships.

Management Succession / Tax Planning

In the majority of cases, the promoter remains actively involved in the day-to-day running of their business and in all cases the Bank considers it has close and open relationships. In a number of development companies (below the level of lead promoters), there are possible weaknesses in the senior management teams and until recently little attention has been paid to succession. In addition financial planning and control, including capital acquisitions tax planning has been weak. Anglo management have indicated that their efforts to increase customer focus in this area have borne fruit as many of their major clients have improved in this area recently.

Mark to market of collateral security may indicate losses

If the security on which some loans are secured was marked to market it is probable that significant shortfalls would occur in line with the rest of the Irish and international banking sectors given current market conditions. Whilst the Banks lending model/underwriting standards rely in the first instance on contractual cash flows, collateral values are a key consideration in the event of default leading to a forced/distressed sale. In accordance with IFRS, Anglo amortises these securities as IFRS does not permit a mark to market approach for such lending assets.

Other banks funding developments

The Bank has exposures to a number of customers who also have significant exposures to other domestic and foreign banks. There is a risk that (i) if other banks call in their loans customers may not have the resources to pay these and Anglo’s loans or (ii) these other banks may not participate in new rounds of refinancing.

Treasury AFS assets

Area Treasury AFS securities

Comment Anglo had a portfolio of available for sale financial assets with a fair value of €8.2 billion as at 30 September 2008 which reflected impairment and mark to market losses of €288 million in FY08. There was an AFS reserve of a negative €589 million held on balance sheet at 30 September 2008. The Bank use a number of sources to derive the fair value of the assets carried in the Available For Sale (AFS) balance sheet category. 75% of the prices for these portfolios come from Bloomberg with the remainder coming from external service providers and broker quotes. There is some uncertainty in the market about pricing for certain asset backed securities given market conditions. At 7 November 2008 the Bank was still seeking prices in respect of €978 million of AFS assets and expects to obtain third party prices for approximately 50% of these. Currently prices are based on the most recent counterparty prices. It is Anglo management’s belief that the pricing used is conservative.

Section 3.3 - Phase III Extracts (17 December 2008)

Phase III of our review concentrated on the next 50 largest Land and Development exposures. Land bank concentrations may result in significant losses for a number of developers. Area

Comment

Mothballing of developments and land banks

During our review, we have seen significant evidence of borrowers reacting to the downturn in the residential market by effectively ‘mothballing’ development sites and land banks. These sites are not expected to be developed/completed until there is a return in activity to the market. This is a short to medium term solution for many developers. However, the ability to place facilities on hold may be restricted. It will be difficult for the Bank to permit interest roll up on facilities where LTV is high, interest cannot be funded and further security is unavailable.

South Dublin land banks/ development sites

In our Phase II report we commented that there were large exposures to a number of developers with residential land banks and development sites which are geographically close in South Dublin and Wicklow. Our work on Phase III has highlighted the fact that this concentration of exposure also applies in the next 50 largest land and development loans. Taking both phases of our work into account there is currently a large over-hang of unsold higher density residential units in these areas accounting for a number of years supply and on top of this there are sites without planning permission in relation to which developers are hoping applications will be processed when local authority infrastructure and planning issues are resolved. Successful disposal of the current and ‘pipeline’ stock will take many years and appear unlikely to occur at current unit price levels. There are likely to be significant losses for individual developers and in turn the Bank as a result.

Approach to lending review

In the course of Phases II and III of our assignment, we reviewed a sample of individual lending exposures concentrating on the most significant exposures based on regulatory groupings. In Phase II we reviewed Anglo’s top 20 Investment Exposures as well as their top 20 Land & Development Exposures (based on the bank's own classification of these exposures) and 22 other exposures. In Phase III we reviewed Anglo’s 40 next largest Land & Development exposures across its Ireland, UK and US divisions. Our information on the individual exposures was obtained primarily from credit review sheets prepared by management and discussions with senior lending and central credit risk personnel. Detailed loan review sheets in respect of each of the exposures we reviewed were included in our Phase II and Phase III reports dated 27 November and 17 December 2008 respectively. Summary tables for these large exposures were also provided. Due to the commercially sensitive nature of this information this information is not reproduced in this Summary Report.

Section 3.5 - Capital Adequacy and Stress Tests

Capital stress tests were performed under two different impairment scenarios; both were more stringent than Anglo’s own stress tests (1 of 3)

Area Capital Ratios – Anglo Scenarios

Comment Under the Anglo Base Case, as prepared by Anglo management, core equity and tier 1 ratios stand well in excess of current regulatory minima by 2011. Under Anglo’s Scenario 1 core equity and tier 1 equity ratios stand well in excess of current regulatory minima (Tier 1 – 4% and Total Capital – 8%) by 2011; under Anglo’s Scenario 2 core equity and tier 1 equity stand in excess of current regulatory minima by 2011; and under Anglo’s Scenario 3 core equity and tier 1 equity stand in excess of current regulatory minima by 2011. These Anglo scenarios assume internally generated capital accretion and a raising of €750 million non-core Tier I capital in 2011. This fund raising improves the Tier 1 ratio by 81bps and Total Capital Ratio by 80bps in 2011. In arriving at their conclusions Anglo has made a number of critical assumptions as follows: 1. Anglo will continue to generate core operating profits in line with existing profit levels (despite the current downturn). 2. This assumed level of profit is sufficient to absorb any impairments in that year. 3. Impairment charges will be spread over a 2-3 year period and will not spike heavily in any one year. 4. No net new additional lending will occur (but funds from loan repayments will be lent again). 5. Anglo will not pay any dividends until capital ratios improve significantly.

Capital Ratio - Stress Scenarios

We considered stress impairment scenarios based on forecasts being made by market analysts and the projected impairment loss experience in other banks by major loan exposure categories and based on Anglo’s 30 September 2008 balance sheet exposures. This was done by taking market forecasts for bank loan impairments published by independent analysts and brokers in Ireland and the UK during October and November 2008 to arrive at two stress scenarios for impairment losses for different categories of loans: residential mortgages, residential investment properties, commercial/corporate loans, development land with planning permission, development land without planning permission, secured consumer lending and unsecured consumer lending.

Capital stress tests were performed under two different impairment scenarios; both were more stringent than Anglo’s own stress tests (2 of 3)

Area Capital Ratio - Stress Scenarios (Contd.)

Comment The analysts’ forecasts were sense checked against impairment forecasts made by other banks. PwC took the worst case in each loan category and applied our own view as to future trends to arrive at impairment loss scenarios that were higher than those published by market analysts at that time. We applied the impairment loss for each loan category, as estimated in the two scenarios, against the equivalent category in Anglo’s loan book at 30 September 2008 to arrive at an estimated annual impairment loss. These annual impairment charges were €2.3 billion and €3.0 billion respectively per annum under the two scenarios for the years ended 30 September 2009 and 2010. The two PwC impairment loss scenarios exceeded Anglo’s worst case impairment loss scenario. The PwC stress scenarios suggests impairment losses greater than Anglo’s forecast operating profits before impairment charges in 2009 and 2010. We applied the PwC scenario impairment losses against Anglo’s capital and rolled this forward for financial years ended 30 September 2009 and 2010 without taking into account capital issues set out in its own capital plans. The capital base calculated under the PwC scenarios was compared to Anglo’s risk weighted assets of €85.8 billion as at 30 September 2008 as adjusted for the impact of impairment losses to arrive at scenario capital ratios at 30 September 2009 and 2010. Assumptions 1 to 5 set out on the previous page also apply to the PwC scenarios with the exception of assumption 2. Under the PwC highest stress scenario, Anglo’s core equity and tier 1 ratios are projected to exceed regulatory minima (Tier 1 – 4%) at 30 September 2010 after taking account of operating profits and stressed impairments. It should be noted these scenarios were constructed by us at a point in time (17 November 2008) and may not be applicable at any other date. If we constructed scenarios at today’s date or at any other point in time we may have arrived at a different conclusion with respect to capital ratios. Further, the highest stress scenario represents a downside risk but not necessarily a worst case scenario.
