Guarantees

The following are disclosed in the accounts but not included in the States Balance Sheet as at 31 December 2012:-

Jersey New Waterworks Company (JNWWC)

The States provided a Guarantee to HSBC plc up to a maximum of £16.2m for amounts outstanding in respect of a loan to JNWWC. As at 31 December 2012 £14.9m was actually guaranteed. This guarantee was first provided in its current form in 1999.

2012 Statutory accounts reference: note 36 "Contingent Assets" - pages 167

Jersey Arts Trust

The States of Jersey has provided a guarantee to Barclays Bank Plc for £3.5 million for amounts outstanding in respect of a loan to the Jersey Arts Trust in connection with the renovation

of the Opera House (as approved by P167/98).

In the same proposition the States increased the funding provided to the Trust to allow them

to cover the loan repayments. Without this funding it is unlikely that the Trust could meet the repayments, and so the States would become liable under the guarantee.

2012 Statutory accounts reference: note 36 "Contingent Assets" - pages 167

Student Loan Guarantees

The States of Jersey has given guarantees against these loans to the banks. As at the year end the value of the loans amounted to £1.9 million.

2012 Statutory accounts reference: note 36 "Contingent Assets" - pages 167

Small Firm loan Guarantee

The Small Firms Loan Guarantee Scheme (SFLGS) commenced in January 2007. The Scheme approves lending by the Economic Development Department (by way of loan guarantees

of up to £2 million), consisting of four separate £500,000 agreements with four banks.

As at the year end the value of the total loans guaranteed amounted to £354,345

States has exposure to 75%, after deduction of the 2011 provision the remaining exposure

was £78,259.

2012 Statutory accounts reference: note 36 "Contingent Assets" - page 168

Indemnities

For Statutory accounts purposes they are not reported under the classification of indemnities, however we have extracted what we interpret would fall under this classification, as follows:-

Housing Trusts Letters of Comfort.

2012 Statutory accounts reference: note 18 "Housing Trust Letters of Comfort" - pages 148 and 149

There are 33 letters of Comfort to Housing Trusts covering £125.4m as at 31 December 2012. These loans do not constitute Guarantees but provide a cap on interest rates. Due to low interest rates,

no subsidies have been paid since 2009. The letters cover a range of periods, with the last exposure currently expiring in 2034.

The exposure accrued under Derivative Financial Instruments was £4,000 for 2012.

Depositor Compensation Scheme

2012 Statutory accounts reference: Table 7 "Purpose of Special Funds" - page 30

In the Strategic Reserve Fund, £100m is provided for funding of a Bank Depositors Compensation Scheme as a contingent liability.
