1. General Information

ASPIS BANK S.A. (previously ASPIS MORTGAGE BANK S.A.) was founded by Pavlos D.Psomiadis and the AEGON BV insurance company, under the name "ASPIS BANK", as Bank Societé Anonyme in 1992 and received its license by the Group of Greece (decision no. 487/2.12.91 of the Currency and Credit Commission), and the Ministerial Council (no. 5/8, GG 1/13.1.92, issue 1) Act according to law. According to this license, the Bank operated in accordance with mortgage Banks laws until 3 August 2001. The Bank of Greece (PDBG 2478/3-8-2001) abolished the special legal framework for mortgage Banks. On 3 September 2001, the Currency and Credit Commission of the Bank of Greece approved the modification of the Articles of Association of ASPIS BANK, which from thereafter engages in all Banking operations defined by law. The Ministry of Development, as per decision no. Κ2-13660/26-10-2001, approved the modification of the Bank's Articles of Association regarding its name, and received its current name of ASPIS BANK S.A. The Regular Shareholders' Meeting on 1 June 2001 had already approved the aforementioned modifications of articles 1 (regarding the name) and 4 (regarding the purpose) of the Bank's Articles of Association.

On 7th May 2010, the Annual General Shareholder's Meeting decided to change the Bank's corporate name and identity to ¨ Τ BANK¨(the "Bank").

T BANK maintains a Head Office in the Municipality of Athens, at 22 Omirou St., 106 72 Athens, and is registered in the Societé Anonyme Registry under no. 26699/06/Β/92/12.

According to article 4 of the Bank's Articles of Association its exclusive purpose is to carry out on its behalf or on the behalf of third parties all Banking activities allowed under current legislation. The following are the main activities that Bank is allowed to provide:

To achieve its objectives, the Bank may cooperate with other legal entities, business enterprises or individuals, including those that pursue similar objectives, as well as participate in the aforementioned legal entities and business enterprises, in compliance with Banking legislation or any other applicable laws.

2. Basis of preparation

2.1 Statement of compliance

This consolidated financial statements has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and adopted by the European Union. The standards

adopted by the European Union may differ from IFRS as issued by the IASB at any time or there are changes and new standards not adopted by the European Union.

The Group's financial statements is available via the internet at www.tbank.com.gr.

The consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 30 March 2011.

2.2 Basis of measurement

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following:

  • Trading securities are measured at fair value
  • available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value

Financial Statements have been prepared on going concern basis. The capital adequacy ratio, as it is analysed in Note 4.9, rise up to 5% for the Bank and 4.5% for the Group, which is lower than the acceptable minimum limit imposed by the regulatory framework. The reason why the ratio fell under the minimum limit during the year lies on the unprecedented Greek's economy recession, the impairment on loans and advances to customers and the poor investment choices. The management has accumulated all the information needed and has tested the possibilities available to satisfy the demand of the Greek regulatory authority, relating to the improvement of its capital adequacy, in order to move on to the actions planned for the future. The management has informed the main shareholder Hellenic Postbank SA (TT) for the measures that should be taken.

The Management intends to take all necessary measures that will enable its operation unhamperedly. In order to achieve these goals, the Management has examined the following measures:

    1. Share Capital increase in order to cover the acceptable minimum limits imposed by the regulatory framework after taking into consideration the estimated results of 2011.
    1. The merge of the Bank with the main shareholder (TT ).
    1. Increase of the percentage of the participation of the main shareholder (TT) in Bank's share capital resulting to the satisfaction of the requirements of capital adequacy.
    1. The liquidity sources though the stability programs.

Regardless the measures to be taken, the Management will continue on with the structure of the portfolio and the decrease of operational expenses.

The reason why the Management hasn't proceeded on the adoption of the above measures is because each option has to be approved by the General Assembly of the shareholders of the Bank, included the General Assembly of the main shareholder (TT) and then to be authorized by the Bank of Greece .Respective procedure is already on progress.

Our choice of preparing Financial Statements on a going concern basis is due to the fact that the main shareholder, which is represented as well to the Board of Directors ,intends to do whatever it takes so as the Bank continues its operation unhamperedly and satisfy all requirements of regulatory authorities, regarding its capital adequacy. We point out that the Bank disposes satisfactory liquidity sources to fulfill its operational needs ,based on current circumstances.

2.3 Functional and presentation currency

These financial statements are presented in Euro, which is the Group's functional currency. Except stated otherwise financial information presented in Euro has been rounded to the nearest thousand.

2.4 Use of estimates and judgments

The preparation of financial statements according to IFRS requires that the management makes judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Deviations from accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.

The most significant estimates and critical judgments applied by the Group in the preparation of the financial statements are:

  • Impairment on loans and advances to customers ( Note 4.2.1.)
  • Fair value measurement for financial instruments (Note 5)
  • Recovery of the recognised deferred tax asset ( Note 23)
  • Other provisions (Note 27)
  • Calculation of income tax expense (Νote 13)
  • Derecognizion of securitized loans

2.5 Reclassification of items

Certain balances concerning prior year figures for 2009 have been reclassified in order to be comparable to current periods consolidated financial statements.

The reclassification in the "Statement of Comprehensive Income" for the period ended 31st December 2009 relates to the transfer of total amount € 5,238 thousand from the line "Interest expense and similar charges" to "Interest income".

The reclassification in the "Statement of Financial Position" for the year ended 31st December 2009 relates to the transfer of amount € 449 thousand from the line "Loans and advances to banks" to "Cash & cash equivalents" and transfer of amount € 13 thousand from the line "Loans and advances to banks" to " Other assets" .

The above amounts have been included in the cash flow statement reclassification for the year 2009.

3. Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements:

3.1 Basis of consolidation

3.1.1 Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. Control exists when the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.

3.1.2 Associates

Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies. The consolidated financial statements include the Group's share of total recognized gains and losses of associates on an equity accounted basis, from the date that significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases. When the Group's share of losses exceeds its interest in the associate, the Group's carrying amount is reduced to nil and recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has incurred a legal or constructive obligation to make payments on behalf of an associate.

3.1.3 Special purpose entities

Special purpose entities are entities that are created to accomplish a well-defined objective such as the securitization of particular assets, or the execution of a specific borrowing or lending transaction. The financial statements of special purpose entities are included in the Group's consolidated financial statements where the substance of the relationship is that the Group controls the special purpose entity.

3.1.4 Intercompany transactions elimination

Intra-group balances, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. The income from transactions with associates and jointly controlled entities is eliminated to the extent of the Group participation in them. The unrealized income from transactions with associates is eliminated by the investments in them. Unrealized losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

3.2 Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to Euro at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. Foreign currency gains or losses on monetary items are recorded in the Income Statement for the year. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to Euro at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined.

Exchanges differences are recorded in the Income Statement or in equity if they result from the retranslation of an item of equity.

3.3 Interest income and expense

Interest income and expense are recognized in the income statement using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments and receipts through the expected life of the financial asset or liability to the carrying amount of the financial asset or liability. The Group calculates the effective interest rate, taking into account the future cash flows in accordance with contractual terms, but not the losses from credit risk. The calculation of effective interest rate includes all fees paid or received, transaction costs and discounts or premiums that are an integral part of the financial instruments.

3.4 Fees and commission

Fees and commission income and expenses that are not integral to the measurement of the effective interest rate are recorded in profit or loss account based on the period that respective services were produced.

3.5 Net trading income

Net trading income comprises gains less losses related to trading assets, liabilities and derivatives, and includes all realized and unrealized fair value changes, interest, dividends and foreign exchange differences as well as gains less losses that were recycled from equity to the income statement.

3.6 Dividends

Dividend income is recognized when the Group establishes the right to receive irrespective income.

3.7 Leases

The Group makes contract agreements either as a lessee either as a lessor.

Leases in terms of which the Group assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases.

Other leases are operating leases.

Lease payments made under operating leases are recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are allocated between the finance expense and the reduction of the outstanding liability.

The Group as a lessor, according to the information held on December 31st, 2010 does not retain any leasing that could be characterized as financial.

Leased assets are tested for impairment based on principle that is applied for loans and advances to customers as that is shown in Note 4.2.1..

3.8 Income tax

Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in the income statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in equity.

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred tax is provided using the balance sheet method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognized for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of goodwill, the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.

Additional income taxes that arise from the distribution of dividends are recognized at the same time as the liability to pay the related dividend is recognized.

3.9 Securitization

The Group in order to maintain adequate liquidity level, proceeds in securitization of financial instruments by transferring those assets to special purpose entities, which in their turn proceed in insurance of bonds. Additionally, based on the terms and conditions and the economic essence of transactions, it is being examined whether Group will proceed in derecognition of securitized assets according to IAS 39

3.10 Financial assets and liabilities

(a) Recognition

The Group recognizes loans and advances, deposits, debt securities issued and subordinated liabilities on the date that they are originated. All other financial assets and liabilities recognized on the settlement date. Memo Accounts used at the trade date, while the interval between the trade date and date of settlement of financial instruments measured at fair value.

A financial asset or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus (for an item not classified as trading) transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issuance.

(b) Derecognition

The Group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred.

The Group enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognized on its balance sheet, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets or a portion of them. If all or substantially all risks and rewards are retained, then the transferred assets are not derecognized from the balance sheet. Transfers of assets with retention of all or substantially all risks and rewards include, for example, securities lending and repurchase transactions.

The Group derecognizes specific loans and receivables when they are determined to be uncollectible.

The Group derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire.

(c) Offsetting

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the balance sheet when, and only when, the Group has a legal right to set off the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Income and expenses are presented on a net basis only when permitted by the accounting standards, or for gains and losses arising from a group of similar transactions.

(d) Amortised cost measurement

Amortised cost of a financial asset or liability is the amount at which the financial asset or liability is measured at initial recognition, minus principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortisation using the effective interest method of any difference between the initial amount recognized and the maturity amount less for impairment.

(e) Fair value measurement

Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's length transaction on the measurement date.

The Fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined based on quoted market prices or dealer price quotations for financial instruments traded in active markets. For all other financial instruments fair value is determined by using valuation techniques. Valuation techniques include net present value techniques, the discounted cash flow method, etc. The Group uses widely recognized valuation models for determining the fair value of common and more simple financial instruments like options and interest rate and currency swaps.

For more complex instruments, the Group uses proprietary models, which usually are developed from recognized valuation models based on market values.

(f) Identification and measurement of impairment

At each balance sheet date the Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss are impaired. Financial assets are impaired when objective evidence demonstrates that a loss event has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset, and that the loss event has an impact on the future cash flows on the asset that can be estimated reliably.

Objective evidence that financial assets are impaired can include default or delinquency by a borrower, restructuring of a loan or advance by the Group on terms that the Group would not otherwise consider, indications that a borrower or issuer will enter in bankruptcy.

The Group considers evidence of impairment both at an individual asset level or collective level. All individually significant financial assets are assessed for specific impairment or collectively for those assets which are not considered as individually significant. All significant assets found not to be specifically impaired are then collectively assessed for any impairment that has been incurred but not yet identified. The individually assessed for impairment assets are excluded from the collective assessments. Assets that are not individually significant are then collectively assessed for impairment by grouping together financial assets (carried at amortised cost) with similar risk characteristics.

In assessing collective impairment the Group uses statistical modeling of historical trends of the probability of default, timing of recoveries and the amount of loss incurred, adjusted for management's judgment as to whether current economic and credit conditions are such that the actual losses are likely to be greater or less than suggested by historical modeling. Default rates, loss rates and the expected timing of future recoveries are regularly benchmarked against actual outcomes to ensure that they remain accurate.

Impairment losses on assets carried at amortized cost are measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the financial assets and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the assets' original effective interest rate. Losses are recognized in profit or loss and reflected in an allowance account against loans and advances.

When a subsequent event causes the amount of impairment loss to decrease and the decrease can be related to actual facts occurred after the date the impairment was recognized, the impairment loss initially recognized is reversed.

3.11 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include notes and coins on hand, unrestricted balances held with the Central Bank and highly liquid financial assets with original maturities of less than three months. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost in the balance sheet.

3.12 Trading assets

Trading assets are those assets that the Group acquires or incurs principally for the purpose of short-term profit or position taking.

Trading assets are initially recognized and subsequently measured at fair value in the balance sheet with transaction costs taken directly to the income statement. All changes in fair value are recognized as part of net trading income in income statement. Trading assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition.

3.13 Loans and advances

Loans and advances are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and that the Group does not intend to sell them immediately or in the near term.

In cases where the Group is the lessee in financial leases and all risks and rewards associated with the leased asset have been transferred, the transaction is accounted as a loan.

When the Group purchases a financial asset and simultaneously enters into an agreement to resell the asset (or a substantially similar asset) at a fixed price on a future date, the arrangement is accounted for as a loan or advance, and the underlying asset is not recognized in the Group's financial statements.

Loans and advances are initially measured at fair value plus incremental direct transaction costs, and subsequently measured at their amortized cost using the effective interest method.

3.14 Investment securities

Investment securities are initially measured at fair value plus incremental direct transaction costs and subsequently accounted for depending on their classification as either heldto-maturity or available-for-sale.

(i) Available-for-sale investments

Available-for-sale investments are non-derivative investments that are intended to be held for an indefinite period of time and may be sold in response to liquidity needs of the Group. Unlisted

equity securities whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are carried at cost. All other available-for-sale investments are carried at fair value.

Interest income is recognized in profit or loss using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognized in profit or loss when the Group becomes entitled to the dividend.

Other fair value changes are recognized directly in equity until the investment is sold or impaired .

(ii) Held-to-maturity investments

Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity that the Group has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. Any sale or reclassification of a significant amount of held-tomaturity investments would result in the reclassification of all held-to-maturity investments as available-for-sale investments and prevent the Group from classifying investment securities as held to maturity for the following two financial years.

3.15 Property and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Cost includes expenditure attributable to the acquisition or construction of an asset. Maintenance costs are recorded in the Income Statement of the year they refer to.

Depreciation is charged to the income statement on a straightline basis over the estimated useful lives of the property and equipment. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter period between the lease term or their estimated useful life. Land is not depreciated. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

50 years
Up to 12 years (lease period)

Furniture and equipment 7 – 15 years

The useful lives of fixed assets are reviewed and adjusted as and if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.

Tangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher amount between the fair value of the asset less sell costs and value in use.

Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property and equipment are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amounts. These are included in the income statement.

3.16 Investment property

Investment property is property held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation upon disposal. The Group's investment property items have been mainly acquired through the enforcement of security over loans and advances (repossessed property).

3.17 Intangible assets

Intangible assets consists of software that has been acquired by the Group and stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses.

Amortisation is charged to the income statement on a straightline basis over the estimated useful life of the software which is between 4 to 15 years.

3.18 Deposits, debt securities issued and subordinated liabilities

Deposits, debt securities issued and subordinated liabilities are sources of funding for the Group.

The Group enters into contracts to sale and repurchase own investments at a specific date and at a specific price. Investments sold under these agreements are not derecognized and are classified and measured as trading, available-for-sale or held-to-maturity. The amount of the sale is depicted as due to financial institutions or customers.

Deposits, debt securities and subordinated liabilities are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs and subsequently measured at the amortized cost using the effective interest method.

3.19 Contracts to sale and repurchase, borrowings

The Group enters into contracts to sale and repurchase own investments at a specific date and at a specific price. Investments sold under these agreements are not derecognized and are classified and measured as trading, available-for-sale or held-to-maturity. The amount of the sale is depicted as due to financial institutions or customers.

3.20 Provisions

A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money.

A provision for restructuring is recognized when the Group has approved a formal and detailed restructuring plan, and the restructuring either has been commenced or has been publicly announced.

3.21 Employee benefits

(a) Defined contribution plans

The Group pays contributions to public or private pension insurance plans on a mandatory, contractual or voluntary basis. The Group has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been made. The contributions are recognized as an expense in the income statement as incurred.

(b) Defined benefit plans

The Group has a defined benefit plan whereby it is required, by law ( Law 2112/20), to pay a lump sum to retiring employees. The amount of the payment varies depending upon the employee's length of service and salary on the date of retirement. The Group's obligation in respect of this defined benefit plan is measured by estimating the present value amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods less the fair value of any plan assets. The discount rate is the iBoxxEuro AA Corporate Yield Curve. The calculation is performed by an independent qualified actuary using the projected unit method, less the fair value of any plan assets and adjusted for unrecognised gains or losses and past service costs.

All actuarial gains and losses in calculating the Group's obligation in respect of the plan, that portion is recognised in the income statement over the expected average remaining working lives of the employees participating in the plan,to the extent that any cumulative unrecognised actuarial gain or loss exceeds 10% of the greater of the present value of the defined benefit obligation. Fair value of the plan assets, otherwise, the actuarial gain or loss is not recognised.

The amount recognized in the income statement by the Group for defined benefit pension plans include:

  • The increase in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from employee service in the current period (service cost).
  • the increase in the present value of the defined benefit obligation which arises as the benefits are one year closer to settlement (interest cost).

(c) Termination benefits

Termination benefits are recognized as an expense when the Group is committed to either terminate employment before the normal retirement date or in the course of a voluntary redundancy.

(d) Short-term benefits

Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided. A provision is recognized for an amount expected to be paid as a short-term cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employees.

3.22 Share capital

(a) Share issue costs

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options or to the acquisition of a business are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax from the proceeds.

(b) Dividends on ordinary shares

Dividends on ordinary shares are recognized as a liability in the period in which they are approved by the Group's shareholders.

(c) Treasury shares

When share capital recognised as equity is repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, including directly attributable costs, is recognised as a change in equity. Where such shares are subsequently sold or re-issued, any consideration received is included in shareholders' equity. At 31.12.2010 the Bank held no treasury shares.

(d) Hybrid titles

The Group classifies hydrid titles as equity instruments in accordance with the substance of the contractual terms of the instruments. The Group's hybrid titles are not redeemable by holders and bear an entitlement to distributions that is noncumulative and at the discretion of the General Assembly. The titles have undefined maturity and they satisfy criteria for being recognized as a component of issue capital within equity.

3.23 Financial guarantees

Financial guarantees are contracts that require the Group to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss that it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due, in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee liabilities are initially recognized at fair value and the initial fair value is amortized over the life of the financial guarantee. Subsequently, the guarantee liability is carried at the higher of this amortized amount and the present value of any expected payment.

3.24 Basic and diluted earnings per share

The Group depicts basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to ordinary shares. The calculation of the basic earnings per share is based on profit or loss after tax attributable to ordinary shareholders over the weighted average number of ordinary shares for the period including treasury shares. Diluted earnings per share is calculated with profits attributable to ordinary shareholders over a weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding after adjustments for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares due to convertible shares given to employees.

3.25 Operating segment

A segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses.

All operating segments' results are reviewed regularly by the Bank's CEO and the Executive Committee to make appropriate decisions.

The disclosed information is used for the evaluation of each segment made by management, as well as the allocation of economic resources. It is more likely that the information will be different from the criteria used for the preparation of the Statement of Financial Position and Comprehensive Income. In this case, explanations must be provided for the preparation of operating segment reporting as well as for the reconciliation of financial reporting items.

3.26 New IFRS amendments and interpretations

Α number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are effective from 1st of January 2010 and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. None of these will have an effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Group, except for:

International Financial Reporting Standard 9: Financial Instruments

This standard has not been adopted by European Union and is effective since 1st January 2013, early application is permitted. In 12 November 2009 International Accounting Standards of Board issued the IFRS 9, financial instruments. This was as a part of phase I of the comprehensive project to replace IAS 39, deals with classification and measurement of financial assets. The requirements of this standard represent a significant change from the existing requirements in IAS 39 in respect of financial assets.

The standard contains two primary measurement categories for financial assets: amortized cost and fair value. A financial asset would be measured at amortized cost if A) it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows. B) The asset's contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding. All other financial assets would be measured at fair value. The standard eliminates the existing IAS 39 categories of held to maturity, available for sale and loans and receivables.

In addition the IFRS 9 requires an investment in an equity instrument which is not held for trading, the standard permits an irrevocable election, on initial recognition, on an individual share-by-share basis, to present all fair value changes from the investment in other comprehensive income. No amount recognized in other comprehensive income would ever be reclassified to profit or loss at a later date. However, dividends on such investments are recognized in profit or loss, rather than in other comprehensive income unless they clearly represent a partial recovery of the cost of the investment. Investments in equity instruments in respect of which an entity does not elect to present fair value changes in other comprehensive income would be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss.

The standard requires that derivatives embedded in contracts with a host that is a financial asset within the scope of the standard are not separated, instead the hybrid financial instrument is assessed in its entirety as to whether it should be measured at amortized cost or fair value.

The Group is currently in the process of evaluating the potential effect of this standard.

4. Financial Risk Management

4.1 Introduction and overview

The Group monitors the following risks:

• Credit

  • Liquidity
  • Market

This note presents information about the Group's exposure to each of the above risks, the Group's objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the Group's management of equity.

The Board of Directors in order to promote stability and continue its operations has established an effective risk management operations framework that enables the Group to recognize and analyse all types of risks which it is exposed to.

The Board has established the Asset and Liability (ALCO) committee and the Audit Committee, which are responsible for developing and monitoring the risk management policies of the Group in their specified areas.

In particular, the ALCO Committee determines the Bank's strategy in relation to financial and qualitative goals but also in relation to macroeconomic and financial developments. It determines the desired liquidity levels, the interbanking transaction limits and the pricing policy of the Bank in products and services.

The main tasks of the Audit Committee are the monitoring and the annual valuation of the adequacy and efficiency of the Internal Audit of the Bank and the Group. Moreover the Committee submits suggestions regarding any weaknesses noticed and supervises the correct application of the measures decided by the Board of Directors.

The Risk Management Division, operates as an independent unit in the Bank, reporting to the Board of Directors. The unit is responsible, for improving on a continual basis the existing management methods, for detecting and analyzing in an adequate format the risk that the Group faces through quantitative methods, as well as for developing new quantitative tools, which will enhance the Group's risk management framework.

4.2 Credit risk

Credit risk is a corner stone, in the Group's risk management framework, in terms of the credible measurement of credit risk. Credit risk, is the risk of financial loss to the Group, if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.

Credits, credit limits approved and irrevocable loan commitments to individuals or corporate are the basic sources of credit risk. Credit risk may also arise from investment activities and transactions on investments and securities settlement.

Reliable credit risk measurement, contributes in maximizing the Group's profitability, by monitoring the level of expected and unexpected financial loss. By using historical data and informational systems, the Group develops, evaluates and implements mathematical models, in order to score loan applications. Prompt risk detection criteria, are defined, for loan portfolios, and if considered necessary, correctional actions are proposed.

For retail customer loans a scoring model exists, which classifies each customer to a certain risk category. This model, is reviewed on a regular basis, and modified, if considered necessary.

For corporate clients, a rating model is used, which classifies each client in a risk category, taking into account financial and qualitative data. Especially, for companies that are corporate or small and medium sized enterprises, the Credit Risk Tracker rating system, of Standard & Poor's is implemented.

In addition, the Risk Management Department monitors concentration risk arising from the Bank's loan portfolio, by computing the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index.

We finally note that the total outstanding claims against the Bank's customers whose contracts have been terminated and are subject to settlement, amounted to € 8,5 million as at 31 December 2010. Moreover, the corresponding amount of claims against the Bank's customers whose contracts have not been terminated and are regulated under the Law 3816/2010 amounted to € 3,1 million.

4.2.1 Loan impairment

The Group classifies loans and advances to customers based on impairment loss in the following four categories based on impairment loss calculation:

a) Individually impaired

These are non performing loans that have been significantly impaired due to the renouncement of the relevant contracts or due to the deterioration of the credit wealthiness of borrowers. The Group assesses these loans on an individual basis and records loan impairment, equal to the difference of the carrying amount of the loan and the present value of the recoverable amount based on the effective rate of the loan and the type of loan collateral.

b) Collectively impaired

These are loans and advances to customers which the Group has also proceeded in legal actions and determines that it is probable, that it will be unable to collect in total or partially all principal and interest according to the contractual terms of the loan agreements. These loans are examined for impairment, on a collective basis. The portfolio's impairment is based on the time period that the loan was denounced from the first year.

c) Over 30 days past due

These are loans that are over 30 days past due, in terms of contractual interest or principal payments. These overdue loans are tested for impairment based on probability of default coefficients (PD) and loss given default rates (LGD) per loan.

d) Less than or up to 30 days past due

These are customer loans, that are not considered overdue or are overdue for less than or up to 30 days. These loans are tested for impairment based on probability of default and loss given default rates per loan.

The table that follows is an analysis of the Group's loans by risk categories, in accordance with the impairment calculation method, that is used by the Risk Management Division. There is also an additional breakdown of each risk category into risk grades. The classification of each exposure into a risk grade is based upon the credit rating of the customer, the time bucket that the exposure lies, and the collateral coverage that the exposure has.

Specifically, risk grades 1 to 3 correspond to low risk exposures, risk grades 4 to 6 correspond to medium risk exposures, while risk grades 7 to 10 correspond to high risk exposures. Moreover, the higher risk an exposure is facing, the higher risk grade, numerically, is attributed to this exposure, that is risk grade one (1), is the grade with the minimum risk, whereas risk grade ten (10), is the grade with the highest risk. The following table also shows the evaluation of the Group's credit risk for amounts due from credit institutions and for investment securities (available for sale and held to maturity securities).

The following exposures are based in their book value, exactly as they appear in the Group's balance sheet.

4.3 Market Risk

Market risk is the risk arising from changes in market parameters such as changes in interest rates, equity prices and foreign exchange rates. For market risk, the Bank, elaborates, develops and carries out risk methods that are based on Value-at-Risk (VaR) models. VaR measures, the worst expected loss, over a given horizon, under normal market conditions, at a given confidence level. As this model is not used for losses arising from extreme events the Bank

applies stress tests on its securities portfolio. Specifically, the Group uses extreme value theory for concluding on changes in Group's securities portfolio when extreme events occur.

The Risk Management Department in order to calculate Valueat-Risk uses the Variance-Covariance method, with a time horizon of 10 days as the portfolio holding period, 99% confidence level and historical data of one year.

As at 31 December 2010, VaR for the securities' portfolio was € 4,552 thousand and € 28 thousand for the Group's foreign exchange position.

For the calculation of the VaR Group's security portfolio contains stocks, mutual funds and bonds available for sale that are in the trading portfolio. Group as at 31 December 2010, held a long position of € 642 thousand, against several currencies.

With respect to 31 December 2009, VaR was equal to € 677 thousands for the securities' portfolio, and € 52 thousands for the Group's foreign exchange position. The Group, as at 31 December 2009, held a long position of € 1.8 million, against several currencies.

*Including available for sale securities and trading securities.

In addition, through the information technology systems available to the Bank, the Risk Management Department monitors on a daily basis throughout the Stock Exchange session, the positions of the Treasury Department and the compliance of those positions with the limits established for them by ALCO.

4.4 Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk of the Group being unable to meet its financial obligations due to inadequate liquidity.

The Group's philosophy is to manage its liquidity to ensure at all possible means that there are enough means to cover its obligations under normal or abnormal circumstances without affecting its reputation.

Liquidity risk arises with respect to the general funding of the Group's activities and in the management of positions. It includes both the risks of being unable to fund assets at appropriate maturities and rates and the risk of being unable to liquidate an asset at a reasonable price and in an appropriate time frame.

The Group has access to a diverse funding base. Funds are raised using a broad range of instruments including deposits, debt securities and share capital. The Group continually assesses liquidity risk by identifying and monitoring changes in funding required to meet business goals and targets set in terms of the overall Group strategy.

The two mandatory indices, the Net Liquid Assets index and the Assets minus Liabilities index, are monitored on a daily basis, based on the Director of Bank of Greece decision (2614/07.04.09).

The Net Liquid Assets index was as follows:

2010 2009
At 31th December 13.56% 22.30%
Average for the period 16.70% 26.18%
Maximum for the period 18.36% 30.97%
Minimum for the period 13.56% 21.35%

Demands and saving deposits appropriated in accordance with BoG Act 2614/09 .

During 2009 and until the completion of the Bank's Share Capital increase the Bank witnessed a withdrawal of sight deposits amounting to € 360,034 thousand ,as a result of the uncertainly of the Greek Bank System and the reputation risk from the concellation of the Insurance Companies, which were last year the main shareholders of the Bank .T Bank was able to " replace" the lost deposits showing inflows of deposits from the second semester in 2010 and up to 25th February 2011 of € 252 million.

The Bank's liquidity was traditionally relied on customers' term deposits. But, the uncertainty in both global and Greek market discourage the Bank to promote term deposits with duration over a year as it did in the past.

European Central Bank (ECB) became one of the principal provides of liquidity to the Bank and it has drawn down the amount of € 710,000 thousand. The Bank has a "cushion" of € 30,778 thousand.

The ability to renewal customers term deposits as far as the further lending from ECB mainly depends on the progress of the Greek economy. The Bank as well the rest financial institutions of Greece are on process in elaborating plans in order to de independent from ECB funding. In our case, the Group has the support of the main shareholder who finances sufficiently the Bank, at least for one more year.

4.5 Currency risk

The Group takes on exposure to the effects of fluctuations in the prevailing exchange rates on its financial position and cash flows. The Board of Directors set limits on the level of exposure by currency and in total for both overnight and intra-day positions, which are monitored daily. The table below summarises the Group's exposure to foreign currency exchange risk at 31 December 2010. Included in the table are the Group's assets and liabilities at carrying amounts, classified by currency.

4.6 Interest rate risk

The Group's operations are subject to the risk of interest rate fluctuations to the extent that interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice at different times or in differing amounts. In the case of floating rate assets and liabilities the Group is also exposed to basis risk, which is the difference in reprising characteristics of the various floating rate indices.

Risk management activities are aimed at optimizing net interest income, given market interest rate levels consistent with the Group's business strategies.

A parallel upward shift in the yield curves of 1% is expected to reduce the Group's profits in one year by an amount of € 7.1 million. On the other hand a parallel downward shift in the yield curves of 1% is expected to reduce the Group's loss in one year by an amount of € 7.1 million.

The above scenario of shifting the interest rate curve up or down by 1% was chosen as the most representative, based on the nature and structure of the Group's portfolio.

The table below summarises the Group's exposure to interest rate risks. Included in the table the Group's assets and liabilities at carrying amounts, categorized by the earlier or contractual reprising or maturity dates. Note that the deposits and savings for purposes of calculating interest rate risk of Group classified in 1-3 months:

4.7 Operational Risk

Operational risk is the risk of direct or indirect loss arising from a wide variety of causes associated with the Group's processes, personnel, technology and infrastructure, and from external factors.

The Group's objective is to measure the loss from the above causes and to set the right control procedures for all its operations.

Through continuous reports, regarding the Group's exposure to operational risk, the Board, is informed of this type of risk, and decides about the strategy that must be adopted, in order to prevent any financial losses, that arise from operational events.

In this framework, the Group is in the process, of developing a loss database for operational risk, which is a necessary assumption for implementing the Standardized Approach. Nevertheless, in the present stage, the Group is going to implement, the Basic Indicator Approach, for the computation of its operational risk charge.

4.8 Stress testing

The Group implements, several stress testing scenarios, in order to assess the impact of extreme financial events, to the Group's portfolio value.

The Group, runs stress tests, on a regular basis, with scenarios that concern the various types of risk, that the Group is being exposed (credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk). The Risk Management Division, analyses the results of these tests, and proposes appropriate policies.

4.9 Capital adequacy

The capital adequacy of the Group, is monitored on a monthly basis, and is submitted to the Bank of Greece, every three months.

The Group applies the rules set by the Bank of Greece, regarding the adequacy of its capital. The regulation framework that applies to the Greek Banking system is the same as in the European Union.

The Bank of Greece, as a regulator, requires the Group to maintain an adequate prescribed ratio of regulatory capital to total riskweighted assets. The capital adequacy ratio is the ratio of total regulatory capital to total risk weighted assets of on and off balance sheet items, arising from credit risk, market risk, operational risk and securitized positions.

33. Contingent liabilities and commitments

33.1 Litigation

The Group is a defendant in certain claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. Specifically, the Group is exposed to law suits that have been claimed or might be claimed against which may affect the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Statement of Financial Position and its capital adequacy.

The Group is still subjected to extrajudicial claims and lawsuits versus Aspis Capital SA , Aspis Pronoia AEGA, Aspis Group SA as well as towards the Bank regarding bond loans disposed by Aspis Capital SA, Aspis Group SA and Aspis Pronoia AEGA for which the Bank operates as Administrator. The management of the Bank declares that there was no mediation from its side in disposing these products and operates exclusively as administrator of payments without to guarantee the fulfillment of payments or other liabilities from the respective issuers. The results of the litigation claims depend on the valuation of predictive evidence presented in court. However, Bank's lawyers estimate that the possibilities of prosperity are restricted.

Moreover, the Group up to year 2008 through contracts signed from Aspis Insurance Brokerage SA has promoted via the Bank's net, the insurance investment product typed UNIT-LINKED of Commercial Value named as ASPIS VALUE. There are still pending claims towards Commercial Value AAE. Because of the revocation of the license of Commercial Value, it is estimated that if the customers of ASPIS VALUE remain unsatisfied from Commercial Value and they don't receive any public or other guarantee, will sue the Bank (there are remaining claims, about 10, and against the Bank). The prosperity of these claims will depend on the evaluation of predictive evidence presented in court but the possibilities are limited.

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 condition of the Group. For this reason provisions amounting to € 299 thousand have been formed. The Group has also formed a provision of € 342 million for contingent labour legal disputes (Note 27).

Independent Auditor's Report

(Translated from the original in Greek)

To the Shareholders of T BANK S.A.

Report on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of T BANK S.A. (the "Bank") which comprise the consolidated Statement of Financial Position as of 31 December 2010 and the consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, Changes in Equity and Cash Flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes.

Management's Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatements.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Bank's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of T BANK S.A. as of 31 December 2010 and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union.

Emphasis of Matter

Without qualifying our opinion we draw attention to Note 2.2 of the consolidated financial statements which refers to the options that the management of the Bank has, in collaboration with the major shareholder, in order to improve its capital adequacy ratio so that may not cast significant doubt on the Bank's ability to continue as a going concern.
