EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 1 to Form 20-F (the “Form 20-F/A”) amends the annual report on Form 20-F of RBS Holdings N.V. for the year ended December 31, 2010, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2011 (the “Form 20-F”).
This Form 20-F/A is being filed solely to replace (1) the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm to the Shareholder, Supervisory Board and Managing Board of RBS Holdings N.V. (the “Deloitte Report), which appears on page 200 of the Form 20-F, and (2) the Consent of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (the “Deloitte Consent”), which was filed as Exhibit 15.1 to the Form 20-F; in each case, to correct an inadvertent error in the signature block of such document. The revised Deloitte Report appears on the following page and the revised Deloitte Consent is filed herewith as Exhibit 15.1.
No other changes have been made to the Form 20-F. The Form 20-F, as amended by this Form 20-F/A, speaks as of the original filing date of the Form 20-F. Other than as expressly set forth above, this Form 20-F/A does not, and does not purport to, amend, update or restate any other information contained in the Form 20-F, or reflect any events that have occurred after the Form 20-F was originally filed.
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
to the Shareholder, Supervisory Board and Managing Board of RBS Holdings N.V.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of RBS Holdings N.V. and subsidiaries (the ‘Group’) as of 31 December 2010, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated income statements, consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of changes in equity and consolidated cash flow statements for each of the three years then ended and the notes 1 to 38. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Group’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Group is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of RBS Holdings N.V. and subsidiaries as at 31 December 2010, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended 31 December 2010, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
