The estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an on going basis to take into account current conditions and the effect of any revisions is recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised.

The accounting policies applied by the Group in preparing the condensed interim financial statements are consistent with those stated in the published financial statements for the year ended 31.12.2010, after taking into account the following amendments of International Accounting Standards and the Ιnterpretations, which were issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), adopted by the European Union and applied on 1.1.2011:

In particular, for employees hired by the Bank and insured from 1.1.1993 until 31.12.2004 the final lump sum benefit to be received upon retirement will have as a minimum the amount as defined in Law2084/1992.

4. Income tax

According to Law 3697/2008 the tax rate for 2010 is 24%.

a. Βasic

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the profit after income tax, attributable to ordinary equity owners of the Bank, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, after deducting the weighted average number of treasury shares held by Group companies, during the period.

b. Diluted

Diluted earnings per share are calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

The Group does not have diluted potential ordinary shares and additionally, based on the preference shares' terms of issuance, basic and dilutive earnings per share should not differ.

18. Capital adequacy

The Group's capital adequacy is supervised by the Bank of Greece, to which reports are submitted on a quarterly basis. The minimum requirements regarding tier I ratio and the capital adequacy ratio of the Group are determined by Bank of Greece Governor's Act.

Since 1 January 2008, the new regulatory framework (Basel II) has been applied in order to calculate capital adequacy according to Law 3601/2007.

The capital adequacy ratio compares regulatory capital with the risks that the Group undertakes (risk-weighted assets). The regulatory capital includes Tier I capital (share capital, reserves and non-controlling interests), additional Tier I capital (hybrid securities) and Tier II capital (subordinated debt, real estate properties revaluation reserves). Risk-weighted assets include the credit risk of the investment portfolio, the

market risk of the trading portfolio and the operational risk.

Alpha Bank's policy is to maintain a robust capital base to sustain development of the Group and retain the trust of depositors, shareholders, markets and business partners.

The ratios (for Tier I capital and capital adequacy) are much higher than the minimum levels set by the respective Bank of Greece Governor's Act and provide a solid base that will allow the Group to support its business activities in the coming years.

In addition, the percentage of hybrid securities and subordinated debt is considerably lower than the regulatory limits and as a consequence the Group can, if necessary, further utilise these forms of capital.
