    REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS

    The d irectors present their report and the audited financial statements for CDB (U.K.) Limited ('the Company') for theyear ended 30 September 2008.

    1. REVIEW OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE BUSINESSThe Company acts as an investment holding company responsible for all subsidiary entities in the United Kingdom

    and therefore acting as an intermediate holding comp any for most of Anglo Irish Bank C orporation Limited interests inthe U.K. During the year the Com pany invested in Japanese Yen Preference shares of a subsidiary company, therebyfacilitating the completion of a Japanese Yen financing arrangement by the CDB (U.K.) Limited group. This JapaneseYen arrangement enabled the Company and its subsidiaries, to avail of low cost financing on an aftertax basis at Yeninterest rates, due to the significant difference between Sterling interest rates and Yen interest rates during the year.

    2. PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIESThe principal risks and uncertainties facing the Company are low as the Company acts as a holding company andis non-trading. The main risks is the performance of its subsidiary en tities and the risk that the investment may beco meimpaired if an entity which the Company has invested in performs poorly thus eroding the value o f the investment.In addition, the C ompan y is exposed to foreign exchang e market risk on its foreign currency denominated monetaryasset. Further detail on the management o f this risk, and the m itgation of this risk is set out in Note 19 of the aud ited

    Financial Statements.

    3. RESULTS FOR TH E YEAR AND STATE OF AFFAIRS AS AT 30 SEPTEMBER 2008The results for the year and the balance sheet at 30 Septem ber 2008 are set out, respectively, out on pages 8 and 9. Theprofit after taxation for the year amounted to 6 0,451,672 (2007: 20,636). The increase in profits is due to foreignexchange movements on the Japanese Yen Preference shares. Total equity amounted to 312,485,279as at 30 September 2008 (2007: 244,033,612).

    4. DIVIDENDThe directors do not propose the payment of a dividend in respect of the year ended 30 September 2008 (2007: Nil).

    5. KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

    Given the limited scope and nature of the business, an d that the Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Anglo IrishBank Co rporation Lim ited ("A IBC "), the Directors are of the opinion that key performance indicators or other forms ofperformance measu rement are not necessary in providing an understanding of the developm ent, performance or p ositionof the Com pany. The parent undertaking of the Company maintains an oversight of the Compan y's performance underAlBC's business and governance management structures. Further details can be obtained in the Annual Report andAccounts of AIBC atwww.anqloirishbank.com/investors.

    6. IMPORTANT EVENTS SINCE THE YEAR END AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENTSNationalisation of parent companyOn 15 January 2009 , the Irish Government anno unced its intention to take Anglo Irish Bank Corporation pic ("AIBC "),the parent undertaking of the Company, into State ownership. AlBC's shares were subsequently suspendedfrom trading on the Irish and London Stock Exchan ges on 16 January 2009. The Anglo Irish Bank Corporation Act 2 009which provided for the transfer of shares of AIBC to the Irish Minister for Finance, was signed into Irish law on 21 January2009. On the sam e date AIBC was re-registered as a private compa ny and its name was chang ed from Anglo Irish BankCorporation pic to Anglo Irish Bank Corporation Limited. On 29 Jun e 2009, the Irish Governm ent, following receipt ofEuropean Union approval, has provided 3 billion of capital to AIBC. Further capital of up to1 billion is available subjectto further discussion s betwe en AIBC and the Department of Finance on the terms of a debt repurchase programmewith AIBC.

    Share capitalOn 10 October 2008 the sterling authorised share c apital of the Com pany was increased to 750,000,000 by the creationof 500,000,000 ordinary shares of 1 each.

    6. IMPORTANT EVENTS SINCE THE YEAR END AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS (continued)

    Share capital (continued)On 18 November 2008 the sterling authorised share capital increased to 3,750.000,000 divided into 3,700,000,000ordinary shares of 1 each and 50,000,000 redeemable preference shares of 1 each. On 18 November 2008,1,000,000,000 ordinary shares of 1 each were issued at par and subscribed by Anglo Irish Bank Corporation Limited,the parent u ndertaking of the Compa ny, in order to enable the Compan y to invest in its subsidiaries as considere dappropriate and necessary.

    Japanese Yen financing an-angementDetails are given in Note 6 of the audited financial statements, of a financing arrangement, entered into in M ay 2008 .The arrangem ent w as structured such that the UK group would benefit from the differential betwe en Sterling a ndYen interest rates. The potential foreign exchange risk perspective was m itigated by an offset on the UK group'staxation line. The arrangem ent had a positive impact on the UK g roup's profit for the year end ed 30 September 2008.The arrangement matured in December 2008 and January 2009. As part of this maturity, a Japanese Yen loanof 201 b illion was advan ced from Anglo Irish Asset Finance pic to the Company. The strengthening of Yen ag ainstSterling post year end h as had a net positive impact on foreign exchan ge revaluation on this Japanese Yen loan

    and the Japanese Ye n preference shares held by the Company of 455m.

    Impainvent of investment in subsidiariesThe key e conom ics indicators in the UK and m ainland Europe, which are the principal operating markets of theCompany's subsidiaries or is the location of the underlying assets supporting these entities, have continued to showa marked deterioration since 30 September 2008. These economies are expected to contract further in 2009. Whilstthe monetary and fiscal actions taken by the government and authorities are helpful, it will take some time before anyimprovements as a result of monetary actions are reflected. As a result, the Company anticipates that there may bea risk that further impairment charges on investments in subsidiaries may be incurred in 2009 and subsequent years.

    Investment in Anglo Irish Asset Finance picOn 18 November 2008 the Company invested a further 1,000,000,000 into Anglo Irish Asset Finance pic,divided into 1,000,000,000 ordinary shares of 1 each.

    Notes to the financial statements

    1 Accounting policies

    The significant accounting policies adopted by the Company are set out below.

    1.1 Authorisation of financial statements and compliance with IFRSThe F inancial Statements of the Company for the year ended 30 Septembe r 2008 were a uthorised for issue by the board

    of directors and the balance sh eet was signed on the board's behalf by Gordon Parker on 28 July 2009. The C ompanyis a private limited Company registered in England and Wa les.

    The Financial Statements have been presented in accordance with International Accounting Standards and InternationalFinancial Reporting Standards (collectively 'IFRS'), as adopted by the European Union and applied in accordance w ith theCompanies Act 1985 and applicable at 30 September 2008.

    1.2 Basis of preparationThe Financial Statements have be en prepared on the going concern basis, under the historical cost convention, as modifiedby the revaluation of certain assets and liabilities to the extent required or permitted under accounting standards as set outin the relevant accounting p olicies.

    The preparation of Financial Statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptionsthat affect the reported amounts of certain assets, liabilities, revenues a nd expenses, and disclosures of con tingentassets and liabilities. Since ma nagemen t's judgem ent involves making estimates concerning the likelihood of futureevents, the actual results could differ from those estimates. Some estimation techniques involve significant am ounts ofmanagem ent judgement, often in areas which are inherently uncertain. Further detail is provided in Note 1.13 of theof the A ccounting Policies.

    The Financial Statements are prepared on a going concern basis, as Anglo Irish Bank Corporation Limited, theparent undertaking of the Company, has agreed to provide financial support to the Company as would be required toallow the Company to meet its future obligations for the foreseeable future and until at least 31 July 2010.

    Certain items in these Financial Statements have been reclassified to allow for the appropriate presentation in accordan ce

    with IFRS.

    1.3 Adoption of new accounting standardsFrom 1 October 2007 the Com pany ado pted the following standards:

    - IFRS 7 - Financial Instruments: Disclosures;- Amendm ent to IAS 1 - Capital Disclosures;- IFRS 7 Amendm ent - Reclassification of Financial Instruments

    Recent amendm ents to IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Reco gnition and Measurement and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments:Disclosures permit the reclassification of certain financial instruments from held for trading and available-for-salefinancial assets. The Company has not made any such reclassifications.

    1.4 Investment income recognitionInvestment income com prises income and realised gains from qu oted investment holdings. Incom e is accounted for on areceivable basis. Interest is accrued up to the balance sheet date. R ealised gains or losses represent thedifference between proceeds of disposal and original cost less any prior provision for permanent diminution invalue.

    1.5 Interest income and expense recognitionInterest income and expense are recognised in the income statement for all interest-bearing financial instrumentsusing the effective interest rate m ethod.

    Notes to the financial statements

    1 Accounting policies

    The significant accounting policies adopted by the Company are set out below.

    1.1 Authorisation of financial statem ents an d compliance with IFRSThe Financial Statements of the C ompany for the year ended 30 Septem ber 2008 we re authorised for issue by the board

    of directors and the balance sheet was signed on the board's behalf by Gordon Parker on 28 July 2009. The Companyis a private limited Company registered in England and Wales.

    The Financial Statements have been presented in accordance with International Accounting Standards and InternationalFinancial Reporting Standards (collectively 'IFRS'), as adopted by the European Union and applied in accordance with theCompanies Act 1985 and applicable at 30 September 2008.

    1.2 Basis of preparationThe Financial Statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, under the historical cost convention, as modifiedby the revaluation of certain ass ets and liabilities to the extent required or permitted u nder accou nting standards as set outin the relevant acco unting p olicies.

    The preparation of Financial Statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptionsthat affect the reported amounts of certain assets, iiabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosures of contingentassets and liabilities. Since management's judgement involves making estimates concerning the likelihood of futureevents, the actual results could differ from those estimates. Som e estimation techn iques involve significant amounts ofmanagement judgement, often in areas which are inherently uncertain. Further detail is provided in Note 1.13 of theof the Accounting Policies.

    The Financial Statements are prepared on a going concern basis, as Anglo Irish Bank Corporation Limited, theparent undertaking of the Company, has agreed to provide financial support to the Company as would be required toallow the Company to meet its future obligations for the foreseeable future and until at least31 July 2010.

    Certain items in these Financial Statements have been reclassified to allow for the appropriate presentation in accordancewith IFRS.

    1.3 Adoption of new accounting standardsFrom 1 October 2007 the Company ad opted the following standards:

    - IFRS 7 - Financial Instruments; Disclosures;- Amendment to IAS 1 - Capital Disclosures;- IFRS 7 Ame ndme nt - Reclassification of Financial Instruments

    Recent amendments to IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments:Disclosures permit the reclassification of certain financial instruments from h eld for trading and available-for-salefinancial assets. The Company has not made any such reclassifications.

    1.4 Investment income recognitionInvestment income comprises income a nd realised gains from quoted investme nt holdings. Income is accounted for on areceivable basis. Interest is accrued up to the balance sheet date. Realised gains or losses represent thedifference between proceeds of disposa l and original cost less any prior provision for permanent diminution invalue.

    1.5 Interest income and expense recognitionInterest income and expense are recognised in the income statement for all interest-bearing financial instrumentsusing the effective interest rate m ethod.

    CDB (U.K.) LIMITED

    Notes to the financial statements continued

    Accounting policies continued

    1.5 Interest income and expense recognition (continued)

    The effective interest rate method is a m ethod of calculating the am ortised cost of a financial asset or liability and ofallocating the interest incom e or interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that

    exactly discounts the expected future cash payments or receipts through the e xpected life of the financial instrumentor, when appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability.

    The calculation includes all fees, transaction costs and other premiums a nd discounts that are an integral part of theeffective interest rate on the transaction.

    Once an impairment loss has been recognised on an individual asset, interest income is recognised using the rate ofinterest at which the estimated future cash flows were discounted in measuring impairment.

    1.6 Cash and cash equivalentsFor the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits including any loansto the parent undertaking which acts as the Company's banker. Cash equivalents comprise highly liquid investments

    that are con vertible into cash w ith an insignificant risk of chang es in va lue with original maturities of less than threemonths.

    1.7 InvestmentsAt costInvestments in subsidiaries are held to maturity and are reflected in the Balance S heet at cost less provision forpermanent impairment.

    Quoted

    Quoted investments are stated at their market value.

    Monetary asset

    Investments which feature a right to receive a fixed or determinable number of units of currency are treated as a monetaryasset. Where these are in a foreign currency they are translated at the spot rate of exchange on acquisitionand then re-translated at each b alance sheet date as further set out in Note 1.11 of the Accounting Policies.1.8 Financial liabilitiesFinancial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value, being their issue proceeds (fair value of consideration received)net of transaction costs incurred. Financial liabilities are subseque ntly m easured at either amortised cost or fair va luethrough profit or loss. A ll liabilities, other than those designated at fair value through profit or loss, are subsequ entlycarried at am ortised cost. Any difference between proceeds net of transaction costs an d the redemption valueis recognised in the income statement using the effective interest rate m ethod.

    The classification of an instrument as a financial liability or an equity instrument is dependent on the substance of thecontractual arrangem ent. Instruments which carry a contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial asset toanother entity are classified as financial liabilities. Interest on these instruments are recogn ised in the income statementas an expense . Other gains and losses arising from chang es in fair value are included directly in the income statem entwithin trading losses/profits.

    1.9 Provisions and contingent liabilities

    Provisions are recogn ised for present legal or constructive obligations arising as conseque nces of past events where itis probable that a transfer of economic benefit w ill be necessary to settle the obligation, and it can be reliably estimated.

    Wh en the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflectscurrent market assessm ents of the time value of money and, where ap propriate, the risks specific to the liability.

    Paym ents are deducted from the present value of the provision and interest at a relevant discount rate is chargedannually to interest expense. Changes in the present value of the liability as a result of m ovements in interest ratesare included in other financial income. Th e present value of provisions are included in other liabilities.

    Other contingenciesContingent liabilities are possible obligations whose existence will be confirmed only by uncertain future events givingrise to present obligation where the transfer of economic benefits is uncertain and cannot be reliably measured. Contingentliabilities are not recognised but are disclosed in the notes to the financial s tatements unless they are remote.

    1.10 Impairment of financial assetsProvision is m ade for impairment of financial assets to reflect the losses inherent in those asse ts at the balance sheetdate.

    The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or aportfolio of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or portfolio o f financial a ssets is impaired and impairmentlosses are incurred if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more loss even ts thatoccurred after the initial recognition of the asset and that the estimated present va lue of future cash flows is less thanthe current carrying value of the financial asset, or portfolio of financial assets, and can be reliably measured.

    Objective evidence that a financial asset, or a portfolio of financial assets, is impaired includes observable data thatcomes to the attention of the Company about the following loss events:

    i. significant financial difficulty of the investee ;ii. decrease in net asset values of the investee;iii. it beco me s probable that the investe e will enter bankruptcy or other financ ial reorganisation;iv. observab le data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows

    from a portfolio of financial as sets since the initial recognition of those assets, although the decreasecannot yet be identified w ith the individual financial assets in the portfolio, including:- adverse changes in the paym ent status of investees in the portfolio, or- n ational or local economic c onditions that correlate with defaults on the a ssets in the portfolio.

    1.11 Foreign currency translationFunctional an d presentational currency

    The financial statemen ts are presented in Sterling, which is the Company's functional and presentational currency.

    Transactions and balances

    Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the functional currency rate ruling at the date of thetransaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the functionalcurrency rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. All differences are recog nised in the incomestatement. Foreign exchange ga ins and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the

    1.11 Fo reign currency translation (continued)

    retranslation at period end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are

    recognised in the income statement. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreigncurrency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measuredat fair value in the foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair va lue was determined

    1.12 Taxation (current and deferred)Current tax is the expected tax payable (shown as a liability) or the expected tax receivable (shown as an asset) onthe taxable income for the year adjusted for changes to previous years and is calculated based on the applicable taxlaw in the United Kingdo m. Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method on temporary differencesarising betwe en the tax bases of assets and liabilities for taxation purposes and their carrying amou nts in thefinancial statements. Current and deferred taxes are determined using tax rates based on legislation enacted orsubstantively enacted at the balance sheet date and expected to apply when the related tax asset is realised or therelated tax liability is settled,

    Deferred tax is determined using tax rates based on legislation enacted or substantially enacted at the ba lance sh eetdate and expecte d to apply when the deferred tax asset is realised or the deferred tax liability is settled.

    Deferred tax assets are recog nised only to the extent that it is more likely than not that there is suitable taxab le profitsfrom w hich the future reversal of the underlying timing differences can be dedu cted.

    Deferred and current tax assets and liabilities are only offset where there is both the legal right and intention to settle on anet basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

    1.13 Significant accounting estimates and judgem ents

    The rep orted results of the Compan y are sensitive to the accounting p olicies, assumptions an d estimates that underliethe preparation of its financial statements.

    The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affectthe amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date and the amounts reported for revenues andexpense s during the year. How ever, the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes may differ from those estimates .

    The particular accounting policies adopted by the Company that are subject to estimates and judgements which wouldhave a significant risk o f causing a material adjustment to the carrying am ounts of assets and liabilities withinthe next financial year, are as follows:

    Impairment of investmentsIn the case of investments the Company has considered the decline in net asset values of subsidiaries to ascertain whetherany impairment has occurred. Impairment is recognised when there is objective evidence that a specific investment isimpaired. Evidence of impairment is assessed by reference to the und erlying net assets of the subsidiary, an d all otheravailable information. Th e determination of whether or not objective evidence of impairment is present requires the exerciseof management judgement.

    1.13 Significant accounting estimates and judgem ents (continued)

    TaxationThe taxation charge acc ounts for amoun ts due to fiscal authorities in the United K ingdom, and includes estimatesbased on a judgeme nt of future profits an d the application of law and practice in certain cases in order to determinethe quantification of any liabilities arising. In arriving at such estimates, man agemen t asse sses the relative meritsand risks of tax treatments assumed, taking into account statutory, judicial and regulatory guidance and, whereappropriate, external advice. Where the final tax outcome is different from the amou nts that are currently recorded,such differences w ill impact upon the current a nd deferred tax amounts in the period in which such determination is made.

    1.14 ConsolidationConsolidated financial statements have not been prepared as the Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of a companyincorporated in the European Union under section 228 of the Companies Act 1985.

    1.15 Prospective accounting changesThe Company has not applied the following new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations (IFRICs) thathave been adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board which would be applicable to the Company with aneffective date after the date of these financial statem ents :

    IFRS 8 - Operating Segments;Ame ndmen t to IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial S tatements;Amendment to IAS 23 - Borrowing Costs;Amendment to IAS 32 - Financial Instruments: Presentation;Amendment to IAS 39 - Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement - Eligible Hedged Items;

    These will be adopted in future years and are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's results orFinancial Statements.

    Additional standards to be adopted in the future are not listed here as they are not expecte d to be relevant to the resultsin the future.

    19 Risk managem ent and control

    The Compa ny is subject to a variety of risk and uncertainties in the normal course of its business a ctivities. Theprincipal risk a nd uncertainties facing the Company relate to credit risk on its m onetary asset and investments insubsidiaries, liquidity risk for paym ent obligations on its loans and borrowings and market risk arising from the

    structure of the balance shee t. The other risks facing the Company are compliance and operational risks.

    In order to effectively minimise the impact of these risks, the directors place reliance on the group processes o fthe various com mittees and control functions of the parent, Anglo Irish Bank Corporation Limited ("AIBC"). tnparticular, the AIBC Risk and Compliance Committee oversees risk management and compliance covering credit,market, liquidity and op erational risk. The directors of AIBC and the Compa ny delegate their monitoring an d controlresponsibilities to the AIBC Group Credit Com mittee for credit matters and to the AIBC Group Asset and LiabilityCom mittee ("AIBC ALC O") for m arket risk and liquidity risk m atters. The members of these committees includesenior man agement and non-exe cutive directors from throughout the AIBC Group and are supported by adedicated AIBC Group Risk management function ("AIBC Group Risk Management").

    AIBC Group Risk Management, finance and internal audit are central core functions of the AIBC Group, independent

    of line m anageme nt, whose roles include m onitoring the Company's a ctivities to ensure compliance with financialand operating controls. The general sche me of risk ma nagement, financial control and operational control isdesigned to safeguard the Co mpany's assets while allowing sufficient operational freedom for the business unitsto earn a satisfactory return for shareholders.

    Credit riskCredit Risk is the risk that the Com pany w ill suffer financial loss from a counterparty failure to pay interest, repaycapital or meet a comm itment. The C ompany's primary financial asset is an investment in the preference shares ofAnglo Irish Treasury Financing Limited, for which it receives dividend income. Other financial assets are non - quotedinvestments in subsidiaries. The Company is therefore only exposed to the credit risk of other group com panies ofAnglo Irish Bank Corporation Limited.

    Risk concentration:As the Company's primary investment is in Anglo Irish Treasury Finan cing Limited, a fellow group subsidiary ofCDB (UK) Limited, the Company does not have an exposure to any other underlying industry or geographic sectorsother than the financial services and real estate investment sectors.

    Market riskMarket risk is the potential adverse change in income or the value of the net worth arising from m ovements ininterest rates, foreign exchang e rates or other m arket prices. Market risk arises from the structure of the balance sheet.Market risk primarily arises from exposure to changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates.

    The Company's primary financial asset is denominated in Japanese Yen. The following table summarises the foreignexchange exposure of the Company. The Company incurs foreign exchange risk on the Japanese Yen financingarrangement w hich is set off against gains across various UK group com panies which are integral to the overalloperation of this transaction which is beneficial to the results of the UK g roup.

    Capital management

    The objectives of the Comp any's capital management policy are to efficiently manage the capital base tooptimise the return of the Company.

    The responsibility for capital adequa cy rests with the directors. The directors m anage the capital structure an dmake adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions or change s in the risk profile of assets.

    The capital ratio at 30 September was as follows:

    2008 2007

    Total equity 312,485,279 244,033,612Capital 312,485,279 244,033,612

    Total Debt 1,004,870,527 1,093,868

    Debt: Equity ratio 3.22 0.00

    Total capital has grown during the year due to retention of profits. The capital ratio has increased as a result of theincrease in debt, which increased d uring the year due to facilities provided by Anglo Irish Bank C orporation Limitedto enable the Com pany to fund the a cquisition of preference shares in Anglo Irish Treasury Financing Limited.

    In order to strengthen the capital po sition of the Company, on 18 November 2008, the issued share capital of theCompany was increased by 1,000,000,000. Further details are provided in Note 18 of these Financial Statements.

AlBC's shares were subsequently suspended fromtrading on the Irish and London Stock Exchanges on 16 January 2009. The Anglo Irish Bank Corporation Act 2009which provided for the transfer of shares of AIBC to the Irish Minister for Finance, was signed into Irish law on21 January 2009. On the same date AIBC was re-registered as a private company and its name was changed fromAnglo Irish Bank C orporation pic to Anglo Irish Bank Corporation Limited.

These economies are expected to contract further in 2009. Whilst

    the m onetary and fiscal actions taken by the government and authorities are helpful, it will take some time before anyimprovements as a result of monetary a ctions are reflected. As a result, the Compa ny a nticipates that there may bea risk that further impairment charges on investments in subsidiaries may be incurred in 2009 and subsequent years.
