National Bank of Greece S.A. (hereinafter the "Bank") was founded in 1841 and has been listed on the Athens Stock Exchange since 1880. The Bank has further listing in the New York Stock Exchange (since 1999), and in other major European stock exchanges. The Bank's headquarters are located at 86 Eolou street, (Reg. 6062/06/B/86/01), tel.: (+30) 210 334 1000. By resolution of the Board of Directors the Bank can establish branches, agencies and correspondence offices in Greece and abroad. In its 165 years of operations the Bank has expanded on its commercial banking business by entering into related business areas. National Bank of Greece provides a wide range of financial services including retail and commercial banking, asset management, brokerage, investment banking, & bank assurance services. The Bank operates primarily in Greece, but also has operations in UK, SE Europe, Cyprus, Egypt, and South Africa .
The Board of Directors consists of the following members:
Executive Members Efstratios-Georgios (Takis) A. Arapoglou Chairman—Chief Executive Officer Ioannis G. Pechlivanidis Deputy Chief Executive Officer
Non-Executive Members George M. Athanasopoulos Employees' representative John P. Panagopoulos Employees' representative
H.E. the Metropolitan of Ioannina Theoklitos
George Z. Lanaras Shipowner
Ioannis C. Yiannidis Professor, University of Athens Law School
Stefanos C. Vavalidis Member of the Board of Directors, European Bank for Reconstruction & Development Dimitrios A. Daskalopoulos Chairman and Managing Director, Delta S.A., Chairman, Federation of Greek Industrialists Nikolaos D. Efthymiou Chairman, Association of Greek Shipowners Stefanos G. Pantzopoulos Business Consultant, former Certified Auditor Constantinos D. Pilarinos Economist, General Manager of Finances and Technical Services, Church of Greece Drakoulis K. Fountoukakos-Kyriakakos Entrepreneur, Chairman of Athens Chamber of Commerce and Industry Ioannis Vartholomeos Professor, University of Piraeus, Governor of IKA (Social Security Fund) Ploutarchos K. Sakellaris Professor, University of Athens, and Chairman, Council of Economic Advisors.
Directors are elected by the shareholders at their general meeting (GM) for a term of three years and may be reelected. The term of the above members expires in 2007.
The Bank's Board of Directors has approved these interim financial statements for issue on 29 May 2006.
The condensed interim financial statements of the Bank (the " interim financial statements") have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and International Accounting Standards (collectively, IFRS) whereas International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" has been applied for the preparation of these Bank's financial statements as at and for the period ended 31 March 2006. The financial statements include Selected Explanatory Notes and they do not include all the information required for full annual financial statements. Therefore, the financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2005 The amounts are stated in Euro, rounded to the nearest thousand (unless otherwise stated).
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Use of available information and application of judgment are inherent in the formation of estimates in the following areas: valuation of OTC derivatives, unlisted securities, retirement benefits obligation, , impairment of loans and receivables, open tax years and litigation. Actual results in the future could differ from such estimates and the differences may be material to the financial statements.
In preparing these interim financial statements, the significant estimates, judgements and assumptions made by management in applying the Bank's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the annual financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2005.
However, owing to a specific interpretative approach adopted by the Bank by 31 March 2005 upon preparation of the first IFRS financial statements of the Bank, certain items reflected in its interim financial statements as at and for the period ended 31 March 2005 needed restatement. Therefore, although all the subsequent interim financial statements for the year 2005 incorporated the same accounting treatments as those that applied to the first annual IFRS financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2005, the interim financial statements for the first quarter of 2005 should be restated for consistency. The restated financial statements are presented in note 31.
The comparative figures used in these financial statements are the restated ones.
The accounting policies applied by the Bank in these interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the Bank in its annual financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2005.
The new standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards that are mandatory for the Bank's accounting periods beginning on 1 January 2006 are as follows:
This amendment introduces the option of an alternative recognition approach for actuarial gains and losses. It may impose additional recognition requirements for multi-employer plans where insufficient information is available to apply defined benefit accounting. It also adds new disclosure requirements. As the Bank does not intend to change the accounting policy adopted for recognition of actuarial gains and losses and does not currently participate in any multi-employer plans, adoption of this amendment will only impact the format and extent of disclosures presented in the accounts.
IAS 39 and IFRS 4 (Amendment), "Financial Guarantee Contracts" (Effective from 1 January 2006). This amendment requires issued financial guarantees, other than those previously asserted by the entity to be insurance contracts, to be initially recognised at their fair value and subsequently measured at the higher of: (a) the unamortised balance of the related fees received and deferred, and (b) the expenditure required to settle the commitment at the balance sheet date.Τhis amendment did not have a significant impact on the Bank's financial position.
IFRIC 4, "Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease" (Effective from 1 January 2006). IFRIC 4 requires the determination of whether an arrangement is or contains a lease to be based on the substance of the arrangement. It requires an assessment of whether: (a) fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets (the asset); and (b) the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset. Management assessed the impact of IFRIC 4 and this amendment had a limited impact to the format and extent of disclosures presented in the accounts on the Bank's operations.
The Bank manages its business through the following business segments:
Retail banking includes all individuals (retail banking customers) of the Bank, professionals, small-medium and small sized companies (companies with annual turnover of up to 2,5 million euros). The Bank, through its extended network of branches, offers to its retail customers a number of types of deposit and investment products as well as a wide range of traditional services and products.
Corporate & Investment banking includes lending to all large and medium-sized companies, shipping finance and investment banking activities. The Bank offers its corporate customers a wide range of products and services, including financial and investment advisory services, deposit accounts, loans (denominated in both euro and foreign currency), foreign exchange and trade service activities.
Global Markets and Asset management includes all treasury activities, private banking, asset management (mutual funds and closed end funds), custody services and brokerage.
The Bank's international banking activities include a wide range of traditional commercial banking services, such as extensions of commercial and retail credit, trade financing, foreign exchange and taking of deposits. In addition, the Bank offers shipping finance, investment banking and brokerage services through certain of its foreign branches.
Includes proprietary real estate management, hotel and warehousing business as well as unallocated income and expense of the Bank (interest expense of subordinate debt etc).

The Bank is a defendant in certain claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the Bank.
The Bank has been audited by the tax authorities up to 2004 inclusive. The tax authorities have not yet audited 2005 and accordingly tax obligations for the current year not be considered final. Additional taxes and penalties may be imposed as a result of such tax audit; although the amount cannot be determined at present, it is not expected to be material.
In the normal course of business, the Bank enters into a number of contractual commitments on behalf of its customers and is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk to meet the financing needs of its customers. These contractual commitments consist of commitments to extend credit, commercial letters of credit and standby letters of credit and guarantees. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of the conditions established in the contract. Commercial letters of credit ensure payment by a bank to a third party for a customer's foreign or domestic trade transactions, generally to finance a commercial contract for the shipment of goods. Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. All of these arrangements are related to the normal lending activities of the Bank. The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and commercial and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for onbalance-sheet instruments.

The Boards of Directors of the Bank and National Real Estate, further to their decisions (dated 29/7/2005) regarding the merger of the two companies through absorption of the latter by the Bank, proposed to the General Meetings of their Shareholders the following share exchange ratio: 2 shares of the absorbing National Bank for 15 shares of the absorbed National Real Estate. Approval by regulatory authorities to initiate the merger procedures was obtained in October 2005 (Greek Government Gazette issue 11146/21.10.2005). PricewaterhouseCoopers and KPMG were engaged as auditors to certify the book value of National Bank of Greece's and National Real Estate's assets respectively, as at the transformation balance sheet date (31/7/2005) and opine on the fairness of the share swap ratio. PricewaterhouseCoopers and KPMG issued their fairness opinion on the share swap ratio. On 3 February 2006, the second repeat General Meeting of the Bank's Shareholders approved the above merger under the terms proposed by the Board of Directors.
On 31 March 2006, the Ministry of Development approved the aforementioned merger and as of the same date the National Real Estate was permanently deregistrated from the Registrar Of Companies (Ref. Of Merger Approval: K2-4813, Ref. Of Deregistration: K2-744).
On completion of the merger and cancellation of National Real Estate shares owned by National Bank, the Bank's total number of shares increased by 2.670.367 shares which, added to existing shares (i.e. 336.599.045), raised the total number of the Bank's shares to 339.269.412.
The Bank intends to finance this acquisition with a share capital increase of up to €3 billion. This rights issue is subject to approval by the second Repeat General Meeting of the Bank's Shareholders to be held on 1 June 2006.
