Interim Financial Report
for the 6 months to 30 September 2015
Registered Number: 04823268
Financial information
Granite Mortgages 03-3 plc ('the Company') is a public limited
company incorporated and domiciled in the United Kingdom.
The Directors present the Interim Financial Report for the
Company for the six months reporting period from 1 April 2015 to 30
September 2015 (the 'six month period').
In accordance with the transitional provisions contained in
Section 79(2)(a) of the Transparency (Directive 2004/109/EC)
Regulations 2007, an Issuer of debt securities with a denomination
of EUR50,000 or less and admitted to trading before 1 January 2005
is exempted from the requirement to disclose its half yearly
financial report for a period of 10 years following 1 January 2015
(the 'interim reporting exemption'). The interim reporting
exemption now having come to an end, the Company in accordance with
the Transparency (Directive 2004/109/EC) Regulations 2007 (as
amended), now complies and has accordingly produced its half yearly
Interim Financial Report for the six month period. Where
appropriate to show half year and full year comparisons, the
unaudited six month period to 30 September 2014 ('H1 2014/15') and
audited 12 month period to 31 March 2015 ('FY 2014/15') have been
presented.
Principal activities
The Company's principal activity is to issue floating rate debt
securities and to enter into financial arrangements to fund the
activities of certain subsidiaries of Granite Finance Holdings
Limited and ultimately UK Asset Resolution Limited ('UKAR') by
means of intercompany loans. The debt securities are issued in US
Dollars, Euros and Sterling and are secured on a beneficial
interest in a portfolio of mortgage loans originated by NRAM plc
('NRAM') formerly Northern Rock (Asset Management) plc and held
under a master trust arrangement by Granite Finance Trustees
Limited. These mortgage loans are secured on residential properties
in the United Kingdom. Noteholders will only be paid interest and
principal to the extent that funds are received on the Trust's
mortgage portfolio and used by Granite Finance Funding Limited to
repay the inter-company loan with the Company in accordance with
the inter-company agreements. Details are set out in the offering
circular pertinent to this issue. The securitisation structure was
established primarily as a means of raising finance for Northern
Rock plc during 2004.
During the six months to 30 September 2015, Granite Finance
Funding Limited made repayments totalling GBP30.0m (H1 2014/15:
GBP25.4m; FY 2014/15: GBP51.8m) to the Company in respect of the
inter-company loan. These repayments were used to repay certain of
the debt securities in issue. The company made all interest
payments due in line with the securitisation transaction documents.
All payments made in the period were in accordance with the
pass-through provisions that continue to apply following the breach
of the non-asset trigger in November 2008. The Company is entitled
to a pre-determined retained profit under the securitisation
transaction documents. Under the terms of the securitisation, the
Company retains the right to 0.01% of the interest received under
the inter-company loan (as defined within the securitisation
transaction documents). The Company is taxed in accordance with the
permanent regime for securitisation companies.
On 13 November 2015, the Company announced that amendments had
been made to the Granite Transaction Documents granting NRAM the
right (the 'Seller Call Option') at any time to require the
Mortgages Trustee to sell the loans which are securitised within
the Granite structure to NRAM or to a person nominated by NRAM,
provided that the proceeds of sale are sufficient to fully redeem
all of the Granite notes in issue. The Company also announced that
NRAM had entered into an agreement, subject to the satisfaction of
certain conditions precedent, to sell the loans which are
securitised within the Granite structure to Cerberus European
Residential Holdings B.V. The sale is expected to be completed
following the exercise by NRAM of the Seller Call Option prior to 9
December 2015. The proceeds of sale are expected to be sufficient
to fund the redemption of all of the notes issued by the Granite
issuing companies, including those issued by the Company, on the
notes
Principal activities (continued)
payment date scheduled to fall on 20 January 2016. Consequently
the Directors of the Company have not applied the going concern
basis in preparing this Interim Financial Report.
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
The KPIs used by management in assessing the performance of the
Company are the quality of the assets in the mortgage pool and the
compliance of the Company with the terms of the securitisation
documentation. During the period the Company has complied with the
terms of the securitisation documentation. Information about the
quality of the assets in the mortgage pool is provided in the
monthly trustee reports to investors, available on the website of
NRAM plc ('NRAM') at
http://www.nram.co.uk/corporate/treasury/securitisation, including

Principal risks and uncertainties
In the ordinary course of business the Company is exposed to,
and manages, a variety of risks, with credit risk, liquidity risk
and market risk (foreign currency risk and interest rate risk)
being of particular significance. The Directors have responsibility
for the overall system of internal control and for reviewing its
effectiveness. In general, when a transaction or group of
transactions is entered into, derivative instruments are taken out
to manage the associated risks. The effectiveness of the risk
management is then monitored on an ongoing basis.

Notes to the Financial Information
1. Reporting entity
Granite Mortgages 03-3 plc ('the Company') is a public limited
company incorporated and domiciled in the United Kingdom.
2. Basis of preparation
This Interim Financial Report has been prepared in accordance
with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'.
The information in this document does not include all of the
disclosures required by IFRS in full annual financial statements,
and it should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements
of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2015.
On 13 November 2015, the Company announced that amendments had
been made to the Granite Transaction Documents granting NRAM the
right (the 'Seller Call Option') at any time to require the
Mortgages Trustee to sell the loans which are securitised within
the Granite structure to NRAM or to a person nominated by NRAM,
provided that the proceeds of sale are sufficient to fully redeem
all of the Granite notes in issue. The Company also announced that
NRAM had entered into an agreement, subject to the satisfaction of
certain conditions precedent, to sell the loans which are
securitised within the Granite structure to Cerberus European
Residential Holdings B.V. The sale is expected to be completed
following the exercise by NRAM of the Seller Call Option prior to 9
December 2015. The proceeds of sale are expected to be sufficient
to fund the redemption of all of the notes issued by the Granite
issuing companies, including those issued by the Company, on the
notes payment date scheduled to fall on 20 January 2016.
Accordingly, the going concern basis of accounting is no longer
appropriate as at 30 September 2015. The comparative financial
information continues to be prepared on a going concern basis under
the historical cost basis except for financial instruments
classified as 'at fair value through profit or loss'. No
adjustments were necessary in this Interim Financial Report to
write down assets to their recoverable value or to provide for
liabilities arising as a result of the decision to cease
trading.
The Directors consider that the Company's accounting policies
are the most appropriate to its circumstances, have been
consistently applied in dealing with items which are considered
material and are supported by reasonable and prudent estimates and
judgements.
The preparation of this Interim Financial Report requires the
use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported values of
assets and liabilities at the Balance Sheet date and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Although these estimates are based on management's best knowledge
of the amounts, events or actions, actual results ultimately may
differ from those estimates.
In preparing this Interim Financial Report, including the
comparative financial information where applicable, the Company has
adopted for the first time the following amendments to IFRS, which
had no material impact on the Company:
-- The Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2010-2012 Cycle; and
-- The Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2011-2013 Cycle.
There have been no other material changes to the accounting
policies previously applied by the Company in preparing, and
detailed in, its Annual Report & Financial Statements for the
year ended 31 March 2015, which were prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS') as adopted by
the European Union.

Services Limited for the provision of corporate administration
services including the provision of directors.
7 Taxation
The Company is taxed in accordance with the permanent regime for
securitisation companies. Under the permanent regime, as the tax
charge is based purely on contractually retained profit, neither
the current tax charge nor deferred tax will be affected by any
fair value gains or losses arising on derivatives and other
financial instruments.
Taxation appropriately reflects changes in tax rates which had
been substantively enacted by 30 September 2015.
The tax charge for each period included nil overseas tax charge.
The tax charge for the six months to 30 September 2015 has been
calculated using the expected effective tax rate for the 12 months
to 31 March 2016, ie 20% (year ended 31 March 2015: 21%).
No deferred tax assets were unrecognised at 30 September 2015,
30 September 2014 or 31 March 2015. No deferred tax assets have
been recognised in respect of tax losses carried forward.
8 Related party disclosures
The Company is a special purpose vehicle controlled by its Board
of Directors, which comprises three Directors. Two of the Company's
three Directors are corporate Directors provided by Law Debenture
Corporate Services Limited and the third Director is a Director of
NRAM (the controlling party under IFRS). Transactions during the
period with the Company's key management personnel and other
related parties were similar in nature to those during the year
ended 31 March 2015.

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for
the asset or liability, whether directly (i.e. as price) or
indirectly (i.e. derived from the implications of prices).
Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on
observable market data or have significant unobservable inputs.
There were no transfers between Levels during the period (H1
2014/15: none; FY 2014/15: none).
Derivative financial instruments which are categorised as Level
2 are those which either:
(a) Have future cash flows which are known dates and for which
the cash flow amounts are known or calculable by reference to
observable interest and foreign currency exchange rates; or
(b) Have future cash flows which are not pre-defined, but which
the fair value of the instrument has very low sensitivity to
unobservable inputs.
In each case the fair value is calculated by discounting cash
flows using observable market parameters including swap rates,
interest rates and currency rates.
