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Reports, some of the information presented in this Summary Report may be out of context or out of date.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.

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

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 Our information on the customer loan exposures was obtained primarily from credit review sheets prepared by
and III) 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).

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 Comments


Liquidity 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.

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 Comment
Business model 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.

Capital Ratios – Anglo Scenarios Capital ratios and the Anglo Scenarios are discussed in Section 3.5 – Capital Adequacy of this Summary Report.

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.

number of key underlying risks (3 of 4)

Area 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.

however, in common with the sector, changing economic circumstances highlight a
number of key underlying risks (4 of 4)

Area 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 A number of key property developer customers purchase or take options over land banks a considerable period of time
built up over 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 Anglo has built up strong relationships with its key customers. Management state that this strategy of developing deep
customers 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.

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


assumptions

Area Comment
Security valuations 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.

Main Findings

Section 3.2 - Phase II Extracts (27 November 2008)

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

Area Comment
Difficult economic conditions for Anglo has performed very strongly over the past number of years and expects to generate a core business profit of
Anglo and its key customers €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.

Main Findings

Section 3.2 - Phase II Extracts (27 November 2008)

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 We understand from management that a number of the Bank’s larger customers are experiencing short term cashflow
difficulties 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.

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

Area Comment
North Dublin land banks/ There are large exposures to a number of developers with land banks and development sites which are geographically
development sites 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/ There are also large exposures to a number of developers with residential land banks and development sites which are
development sites 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 In the majority of cases, the promoter remains actively involved in the day-to-day running of their business and in all
Planning 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 If the security on which some loans are secured was marked to market it is probable that significant shortfalls would
security may indicate losses 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 The Bank has exposures to a number of customers who also have significant exposures to other domestic and foreign
developments 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 Comment
Treasury AFS securities 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 During our review, we have seen significant evidence of borrowers reacting to the downturn in the residential market
land banks 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/ In our Phase II report we commented that there were large exposures to a number of developers with residential land
development sites 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.

In the course of our work we reviewed Anglo’s top 20 Investment lending exposures and
its top 70 Land & Development lending exposures. Detailed loan reviews for each
individual exposure are contained in the PwC Reports.

Area Comment
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.

Top 20 lending exposures The Top 20 Investment lending exposures reviewed in our Phase II report had a combined value of €11.7
billion representing 15.7% of total advances as at 30 September 2008.
The Top 20 Land & Development exposures reviewed in our Phase II report had a combined value of €6.4
billion representing 9.0% of total advances as at 30 September 2008.
The Top 70 Land & Development exposures reviewed between Phases II and III of our review had a combined
value of €12.6 billion which represents some 63% of Anglo’s total Land & Development loan book as at 30
September 2008 and 17% of its total loan book.

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 Comment
Capital Ratios – Anglo Scenarios 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.

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 (2 of 3)

Area Comment
Capital Ratio - Stress Scenarios The analysts’ forecasts were sense checked against impairment forecasts made by other banks. PwC took the worst
(Contd.) 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.
