NOTE 2: Summary of significant accounting policies

2.1 Basis of Preparation

he Condensed Consolidated and Bank Interim Financial Statements as at and for the nine month period ended 30 September 2009 (the "interim financial statements") have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". These interim financial statements include selected explanatory notes and do not include all the information required for full annual financial statements. Therefore, the interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual Consolidated and Bank financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2008, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS. When necessary, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform with changes in presentation in the current period. T

The amounts are stated in Euro, rounded to the nearest thousand (unless otherwise stated).

2.2 Principal accounting policies

Except as described below, the accounting policies applied are consistent with those of the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2008, as described in those annual financial statements.

Transfer of financial instruments from the loans and receivables category to the available‐for‐sale category

The Group transfers debt instruments that have been reclassified as loans and receivables from the trading or available‐for‐sale categories, into the available‐for‐sale category if the instruments subsequently become quoted in an active market and the Group does not intend to hold them for the foreseeable future or until maturity. The fair value of the instruments at the date of reclassification becomes the new amortised cost at that date. The difference between the amortised cost immediately prior to reclassification and the fair value at the date of reclassification is recognized in the Available for sale securities reserve through Other comprehensive income and is amortised in the Income statement.

New standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards applied from 1 January 2009

IAS 39 "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement" and IFRIC 9 "Reassessment of Embedded Derivatives" (Amendment March 2009) (effective for annual periods ending on or after 30 June 2009). These amendments clarify that on reclassification of a financial asset out of the "at fair value through profit or loss" category all embedded derivatives have to be assessed and, if necessary, separately accounted for in financial statements. This amendment is not expected to have an impact on the Consolidated and Bank financial statements because this treatment is the Group's existing policy.

IAS 23, "Borrowing costs" (Revised) (effective from 1 January 2009). It requires an entity to capitalise borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset (one that takes a substantial period of time to get ready for use or sale) as part of the cost of that asset. The option of immediately expensing those borrowing costs is removed. The Group has applied IAS 23 (Revised) from 1 January 2009, however, it did not have a significant impact on the Condensed Consolidated and Bank Interim Financial Statements.

IFRS 8, "Operating Segments" (effective from 1 January 2009). This standard changes the way the segment information is measured and disclosed and requires identification of operating segments on the basis of internal reports that are regularly reviewed by the entity's chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segments and to assess performance. The Group has applied this standard for these Condensed Consolidated and Bank Interim Financial Statements, as described in Note 3.

IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements" (Revised) (effective from 1 January 2009). It requires information in financial statements to be aggregated on the basis of shared characteristics and introduces a statement of comprehensive income. The Group has applied IAS 1 (Revised) for the annual period beginning on 1 January 2009.

IFRS 2 "Share‐based Payment" (Amendment) (effective from 1 January 2009). The amendment deals with two matters. It clarifies that vesting conditions are service conditions and performance conditions only. Other features of a share‐based payment are not vesting conditions. It also specifies that all cancellations, whether by the entity or by other parties, should receive the same accounting treatment. The Group has applied this amendment for the annual period beginning on 1 January 2009, however, it did not have an impact on the Condensed Consolidated and Bank Interim Financial Statements.

IAS 32 "Financial Instruments: Presentation" and IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements" (Amendment) (effective from 1 January 2009). This amendment requires entities to classify the following types of financial instruments as equity, provided they have particular features and meet specific conditions:

12

  • puttable financial instruments (for example, some shares issued by co‐operative entities)
  • instruments, or components of instruments, that impose on the entity an obligation to deliver to another party a pro rata share of the net assets of the entity only on liquidation (for example, some partnership interests and some shares issued by limited life entities).

The Group has applied this amendment for the annual period beginning on 1 January 2009, however, it did not have an impact on the Condensed Consolidated and Bank Interim Financial Statements.

IFRIC 13, "Customer Loyalty Programmes" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2008). IFRIC 13 addresses the accounting treatment by the entity that grants award credits to its customers as part of a sale transaction(s). The Group has applied this IFRIC from 1 January 2009, however, it did not have a significant impact on the Condensed Consolidated and Bank Interim Financial Statements.

Improvements to IFRSs, May 2008 (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009, except amendments to IFRS 5 that are effective for periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009). These improvements include amendments considered to be necessary, but non‐urgent, and that will not be included as part of another major project.

Notes to the Financial Statements Group and Bank

The Group has applied these amendments for the annual period beginning on 1 January 2009 (except for IFRS 5), however they did not have a significant impact on the Condensed Consolidated and Bank Interim Financial Statements.

IFRIC 15, "Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009) and IFRIC 16, "Hedges of a Net Investment in a Foreign Operation" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 October 2008). These interpretations did not have significant impact on the Condensed Consolidated and Bank Interim Financial Statements.

IFRIC 18, "Transfers of Assets from Customers" (effective for transfers received on or after 1 July 2009). The Interpretation clarifies that the requirements of IFRSs for agreements in which an entity receives from a customer an item of property, plant and equipment that the entity must then use either to connect the customer to a network or to provide the customer with ongoing access to a supply of goods or services (such as a supply of electricity, gas or water). The Group does not expect that it will have any impact on the Consolidated and Bank financial statements.

IFRS 7 "Financial Instruments: Disclosures" (Amendment March 2009) (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009). The amendments introduce a three‐level hierarchy for fair value measurement disclosures and require entities to provide additional disclosures about the relative reliability of fair value measurements. In addition, the amendments clarify and enhance the existing requirements for the disclosure of liquidity risk. The Group will provide the additional and enhanced disclosures required by this amendment in its annual Consolidated and Bank financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2009.

2.3 Estimates and assumptions

In preparing these interim financial statements, the significant estimates, judgements and assumptions made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the annual Consolidated and Bank financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2008.

The "adjustment for the effect of the bonus element of the share capital increase" represents the difference between the discounted issue price per share (see note 11) and its market price. This adjustment, which corresponds to a factor of 1,08, was applied retrospectively to all periods presented, in accordance with the applicable reporting standards.

The potential dilutive ordinary shares result from the Bank's stock option plans. For the calculation of the diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of ordinary shares in calculating the basic earnings per share is increased by the potential dilutive ordinary shares.

As at 30 September 2009, the number of potential dilutive ordinary shares is NIL due to the fact that for the 9 month period ended 30 September 2009, the exercise price of the share options outstanding was lower than the average market price of the Bank's shares.

NOTE 9: Debt securities in issue, other borrowed funds and preferred securities

On 22 May 2009, NBG Finance Plc redeemed the €1.500 million Floating Rate Notes issued in May 2007.

Οn 4 June 2009, under the government‐guaranteed short‐term borrowings facility provided by Law 3723/2008, the Bank issued €500 million Floating Rate Notes bearing interest at a rate of three‐month EURIBOR plus 0,25%, due in December 2009.

On 22 June 2009, the Bank announced a voluntary tender offer for the acquisition of any and all of the five series of the preferred securities issued by its subsidiary National Bank of Greece Funding Limited and having the benefit of a subordinated guarantee by the Bank. The tender offer was for all the preferred securities in an aggregate nominal value of approximately €1.050 million, excluding the preferred securities already acquired on open market by the Bank of an aggregate nominal value of approximately €450 million.

NOTE 10: Contingent liabilities and commitments

a. Legal proceedings

The Group is a defendant in certain claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of the management, after consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position of the Group. However, at 30 September 2009 the Group and the Bank have

On 7 July 2009, the Bank announced the results of the voluntary tender offer, where holders of preferred securities of an aggregate nominal value of approximately €450 million (equal to approximately 43% of the aggregate nominal value of the preferred securities subject to the tender offer) validly tendered their preferred securities, resulting in the strengthening of the Bank's core Tier I capital by approximately €166 million. The settlement date for the purchase by the Bank of the preferred securities that have been validly tendered was the 8 July 2009 and the purchases were funded by existing liquidity reserves of the Bank.

Subsequent to 7 July 2009 (expiry date of the tender offer) the Bank purchased an additional portion of the outstanding preferred securities of an aggregate nominal amount of €32,2 million which resulted in a further strengthening of the Bank's core Tier I capital by approximately €10,6 million.

provided for cases under litigation the amounts of €44,5 million and €16,9 million respectively.

b. Pending Tax audits

The tax authorities have not yet audited all subsidiaries for certain financial years and accordingly their tax obligations for those years may not be considered final. Additional taxes and penalties may be imposed as a result of such tax audits; although the amount cannot be determined at present, it is not expected to have a material effect on the Group's net assets. During the third quarter of 2009, the tax authorities finalized their audit of the Bank for the year 2008. The impact on the income statement after having offset relevant provisions of €3.308, amounted to €2.113, while no cash was paid. For the subsidiaries and associates refer to note 17.

c. Capital Commitments

In the normal course of business, the Group 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 Group to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. All of these arrangements are related to the normal lending activities of the Group. The Group'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 Group uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on‐balance‐sheet instruments.

NOTE 11: Share capital, share premium and treasury shares

Share Capital – Ordinary Shares

Following the Board of Directors' resolution on 18 June 2009, the Bank, in July 2009, increased its ordinary share capital by offering 110.367.615 new ordinary shares of nominal value of €5,00 each and subscription price of €11,30 each through a rights issue. The shares were initially offered to existing ordinary shareholders at a ratio of 2 new shares for every 9 shares held. The total capital raised amounted to €1.247.154, €551.838 of which has been credited to "Share capital" account and the remaining amount less expenses incurred has been credited to "Share premium" account. The new shares were listed in the ATHEX on 30 July 2009.

The total number of ordinary shares as at 30 September 2009 and 31 December 2008 was 607.021.884 and 496.654.269 respectively with a nominal value of €5 per share.

Share Capital – Preference Shares

On 6 June 2008, the Bank issued 25.000.000 non‐cumulative, non‐ voting, redeemable preference shares, of a par value of €0,30 each. The shares were offered at a price of USD 25 per preference share in the form of American Depositary Shares in the United States and are evidenced by American Depositary Receipts and listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The annual dividend is set to USD 2,25 per preference share.

The Extraordinary General Meeting of the Bank's Shareholders held on 22 January 2009, approved the issue of 70.000.000 Redeemable Preference Shares at a par value of €5 each with the cancellation of the pre‐emptive rights of the existing shareholders in favour of the Greek State, in accordance with the Law 3723/2008. On 24 February 2009, the Ministry of Development approved the above mentioned issue (resolution K2‐1950 / Registrar of Companies). On 21 May 2009, the Bank's Board of Directors certified that the Greek State fully covered the said issue of preferred shares. This increase was covered through the transfer to the Bank of an equal market value Greek Government Bond with a coupon rate of 6‐month Euribor plus 130 basis points. On 25 May 2009, the Board of Directors' minutes for the above mentioned certification were filed with the Ministry of Development (resolution K2‐5300 / Registrar of Companies).

The preference shares are mandatory redeemable within 5 years from their issue or optionally after 1 July 2009 and carry a fixed return of 10%. In case of inability for redemption due to capital adequacy difficulties, the preference shares are converted to ordinary or any other available class of shares.

The preference shares issued by the Bank in favor of the Greek State are not transferable and embody the following privileges:

(a) The right to receive payment of a fixed return, calculated on a 10% basis over the issue price of each preference share (i) in priority over the common shares, (ii) in priority over the dividend amounts distributed pursuant to Article 1 par. 3 of Law 3723/2008 and (iii) irrespective of distribution of dividend to other classes of shareholders and provided that, following payment of the said fixed return, the Bank's and Group's capital adequacy ratios, meet the respective capital adequacy requirements set by the Bank of Greece.

The fixed return on the preference shares is calculated on an accrual basis pro rata to the time period during which the Greek State remains a Preferred Shareholder ("PS") and is payable within one month as of the Bank's Annual Shareholders Meeting. The distribution is subject to availability of distributable funds, in accordance with Article 44a of Law 2190/1920. In case of inadequacy of distributable funds, the Preferred Shareholder is entitled to receive payment of fixed return on the preference shares in priority over the Common Shareholders, up to exhaustion of such distributable funds.

(b) Upon liquidation, the right in liquidation proceeds in priority over all other shareholders.

The Ministry of Economy and Finance, through its letter to the Bank of Greece (Protocol Number 39389/B2038/7.8.2009) clarified that the funds provided by the Greek State to the financial institutions through the issuance of preference shares, are for the support of the capital adequacy of the Greek banking sector and not for medium term funding. In this respect, the Ministry intents to proceed with the necessary legislative amendments in order to impose a coupon step up feature, if after five years following the issuance of the preference shares, the financial institutions have not redeemed the preference shares or if the preference shares have not been converted into ordinary shares through a decision from the Minister of Economy and Finance.

In view of the above the Bank recognized the preference shares within equity.

Had the Bank not recognized the preference shares within equity, its after tax profits would have been less by €9,5 million.

On 30 September 2009, the total paid‐up share capital of the Bank amounted to €3.392.609 divided into a) 607.021.884 ordinary shares of a par value of €5 each, b) 25.000.000 non‐cumulative, non‐voting, redeemable preference shares, of a par value of €0,30 each, and c) 70.000.000 redeemable preference shares of a par value of €5 each with the cancellation of the pre‐emptive rights of the existing shareholders in favour of the Greek State, in accordance with the Law 3723/2008.

Share premium

Following the share capital increase in 2009 the share premium as at 30 September 2009 amounted to €3.337.860, while as at 31 December 2008 amounted to €2.682.050.

Treasury shares

Out of the 6.456.504 treasury shares held on 1 January 2009, representing 1,3% of the paid‐up share capital, on 15 April 2009 the Bank disposed of 5.954.000 own shares at a price of €13,50 per share and the remaining were disposed on 15 September 2009 at a price of €21,40 per share. The proceeds from this sale have been used to strengthen the Bank's capital base.
