ATEbank BOARD OF DIRECTORS' SEMI-ANNUAL MANAGEMENT REPORT

Ladies and Gentlemen,

During the first semester of 2011, the growth rate of global economy has slowed down and, on an annual basis, it is expected to stand at a lower rate than the previous year. According to the updated report of the International Monetary Fund, which was published in mid June, in 2011, the global GDP is projected to expand by 4.3% comparing to 5.1% in 2010.

In the eurozone, despite the severe debt crisis which affects directly a few member states, due to their inability to encounter the structural rigidities promptly and efficiently, the rate of GDP is projected to grow and range up to 2% comparing to 1.8% in 2010. Surely, the indications on which the positive estimation is based are relatively uncertain if the fiscal adjustment of Eurozone's economies is implemented at a slower pace and the debt crisis expands.

Indeed, since the beginning of the second semester of 2011 the slow down of global growth in conjunction with the global financial turmoil, which was firstly evidenced with the management of United States' public debt, have showed the structural imbalances and malfunctions of the global and European economy, resurging the crisis in global money markets and capital markets. This development resulted to the revival of uncertainty over the possibility of double deep recession and the extent of social and economic consequences deriving from that, as well as over the prospects of rapid return to stability of global markets.

Notwithstanding the above, with reference to the Greek economy, the Greek Parliament's vote of the Medium-Term Fiscal Strategy Framework, 2012-2015, and the decisions of the Extraordinary European Summit held on 21st of July 2011, which provide for a new stimulus plan for Greece, in the total amount of € 109 billion, with the voluntary participation of the private sector, formulate a relatively more solid framework and provide time to encounter the problems, under the basic prerequisite that the implementation of the decisions as well as the necessary structural changes internally, will be propelled promptly.

During the first semester of 2011 the rate of the real economy continued a negative fall. According to the government's minister of finane recent statements, the recession is estimated to rise up to 5.0% till the end of 2011, while the GDP declines. The retail sales reduced about 10.2%, when the unemployment percentage on June rised up to 16.0%. It is obvious that despite the improvement of some figures, such as inflation or exports, the economy is under deep recession.

The adverse developments in the real economy have negatively affected the greek banking system. The outflow of deposits has continued, however, in a slower pace, especially after the decisions of European Summit held on 21st of July 2011. The greek banks were still, practically, excluded from the international money markets and capital markets and continued to be dependent on ECB's liquidity support, which effectively provoked suffocating circumstances in the funding of businesses and households (credit expansion on an annual basis -1.2% in July comparing to -0.4% in March) and reinforce the recession.

The greek banks are, also, under pressure due to the diminishing of their operations, the increase of Non-Performing Loans (NPLs) and their sizeable portfolio of greek government bonds. Nowadays, it is required from the greek banks to manage successfully their participation to the Bond Swap Programme, in the total amount of € 135 billion, within the new stimulus plan for the support of greek economy, as well as the problems which may arise from the audit of their loan portfolios which is conducted by an independent company, based on the fourth update of the IMF/Eurozone Stabilisation and Recovery Programme.

The voluntary participation of the private sector to the stimulus plan of financial aid for Greece requires the replacement of existing Greek Government Bonds which are held in investors' portfolios, with new ones with maturities of 17-30 years. As prerequisite for the success of the above plan for the support of Greek debt's viability, is to achieve a percentage of participation no less than 90% of the nominal value of the above Greek Government Bonds (those that mature during the period 2011 - 2020).

The Group of ATEBank intends to participate to the above Plan for the total amount of GGBs portfolio which are estimated to be included in the Plan, in order to contribute to the achievement of the essential percentage of private sector's participation and the achievement of the objective for the support of Greek debt's viability. Consequently, the Group evaluated the expected impairment of its GGBs' portfolio amounting to € 5.15 billion as at 30 June 2011 and recognized that impairment loss of € 836.4 million in the interim income statement. The total impact in Group's equity amounts to € 728.6 million.

Apart from ATEbank's participation in the above programme, during the first semester of 2011, there were two major events that occurred:

  • the completion of seasoned equity offering with cash-payment, amounting to € 1,259.5 million. The new shares were listed in ASE and the trading on those shares began in the second semester. The Bank also proceeded with the paying-back of € 675 million for the preferred shares that the Hellenic Republic possessed. After the completion of share capital increase the percentage held by Hellenic Republic rises up to 89.90%.
  • The second important event is the approval of the Restructuring Plan of ATEbank Group by the Directorate General for Competition of the European Commission, the purpose of which is the reassurance of the long-term viability of the Group. The implementation of Restructuring Plan has already started since the beginning of 2010 and it is in full process, while the first positive implications of the said Plan are already obvious.

The main pillars of the Restructuring Plan are the deleveraging of balance sheet and the reduction of operating expenses. In this framework, without taking into account the expected positive impact from the disposal of subsidiaries, which is in progress, total assets decreased by 12% compared to 2009 which is the base year, while operating expenses decreased by 15%.

In particular, during the first semester of 2011, the Group of ATEbank maintained the before-provisions operating profitability at satisfactory levels. The operational profits before provisions amounted to € 158 million for the first semester of 2011 compared to € 51.6 million for the first semester of 2010, presenting increase of 206.6%. Due to the recognition of impairment losses for the GGBs' portfolio, the after tax loss amounted to € 907.1 million. The after tax loss attributable to equity holders of the bank, without the abovementioned impact, limited to € 86.8 million as at 30.06.2011 compared to € 109.9 million in the correspondent period of last year.

The Net Interest Income for the first semester of 2011 amounted to € 357.8 million, decreasing by 4.6% versus the corresponding period of last year. The Interest Income increased by 5.7% on an annual basis, whereas the Interest expenses increased by 27.2% and were mostly affected by the cost of State support which was significantly higher that the correspondent one in the 1st semester of 2010.

During the 1st semester of 2011 there was significant improvement in the non-interest bearing proceeds which amounted to € 70.3 million versus Loss amounted to € 29.8 million in the correspondent period of last year. The subject increase is attributed to the improved financial performance of non-financial subsidiaries and to the decrease of losses deriving from financial transactions in comparison to the ones of 1st semester of 2010.

During the 1st semester of 2011, there was also improvement in relation to the development of operating expenses since they were limited to € 270.0 million compared to € 293.7 million in the correspondent period of last year, representing a decrease of 8.1%. The remuneration and expenses of employees presented decrease by 9.8%, mostly due to the implementation of Law 3899/2010, in conjunction with the retirement of a significant number of employees.

The Group continued to implement prudent policy with regard to provisions during the 1st semester of 2011, safeguarding the balance sheet, and taking into consideration the deteriorating financial condition of households and businesses. Within this framework, during the second quarter of the year, the group recognized impairment losses for loans which amounted to € 111.6 million, which raised the total provision amount for the semester to € 217.5 million which presents an increase of 22.9% compared to the 1st semester of last year. In addition, the group recognized impairment losses for other assets, which during the 1st semester of 2011 amounted to € 5.7 million.

In the end of 1st semester of 2011, the loan portfolio (before provisions) amounted to € 20.5 billion, decreased by 7.2% in comparison to the correspondent semester of 2010, due to the implementation of the policy of deleveraging of balance sheet, and it is related, in particular, to the loans to public sector, the balance of which is decreased by 19.7% in comparison to the 1st semester of 2010.

The deleverage which took place in the 1st semester of 2011 continued to the rest of loan categories and the balance of residential loans at 30 June 2011 (€ 6.7 billion) decreased by 3.3% on an annual basis and the one of consumer loans (€ 1.8 billion) decreased by 8.7%. The loans to corporate entities and agricultural sector presented smaller decrease, on an annual basis, (-1.4% and -1.7% respectively) and as of 30 June 2011 amounted to € 4.2 billion and € 2.2 billion respectively. The total loans to small and medium size enterprises (SMEs) decreased by 10.5% and as of 30 June 2011 amounted to € 2.2 billion.

The Non-Performing Loans ratio of ATEbank Group increased and amounted to 14.5% during the 1st semester of 2011 due to the adverse conditions of the economy and the decrease of the total loan portfolio. The coverage ratio of the Non-Performing Loans amounted to 65.6% in the end of June 2011, which is higher percentage in comparison to the average of greek peers, since ATEbank continues the prudent provision policy.

In order to manage credit risk more efficiently ATEbank implemented a series of measures which aim to update the existing policies for granting loans. Indicative actions that took place during the first semester of 2011 in relation to the above are the completion of centralization of loan approval procedures for consumer credit (while the preparation for the gradual centralization of loan approval for all loan categories is in progress), the gradual restriction of loan approval limits for all branches, the application of more strict criteria in loan evaluation process, the reassessment of risk levels and the improvement of loan portfolio monitoring through regular reporting and MIS upgrade.

Total deposits in the end of 1st semester 2011 amounted to € 18 billion, representing decrease of 12.5% on an annual basis. The said percentage is lower than the correspondent percentage of decrease that prevails in the market (-14.5%).

Savings decreased, on an annual basis, by 15.8% which is equivalent to the greek banking sector. The Term deposits decreased by 8.4% versus 11.3% of the total market, whereas the current accounts by 9.7%, which is significantly lower than the one of the market (-14.0%).

In parallel to the above, the advantageous deposit structure was maintained. In particular, the savings and current accounts represent the 63% of the total deposits, which contributes to the restrain of increase of cost of funding.

The faster decrease of deposits in comparison to the one of loans resulted to the small deterioration of Loan to Deposit ratio, which as at 30 June 2011 amounted to 103.3%, which, however, remains to satisfactory levels, given the conditions in the Greek banking sector.

As a result of the deposits decrease, liquidity support derived by the ECB as at 30.06.2011 rose up to € 7.3 billion in respect of € 6.9 billion as at 31.03.2011.

Besides, according to Law 3723/2008 for the enhancement of the Greek Economy's liquidity program the Bank:

  • a. through the EMTN program has issued, until now, special securities guaranteed by the Hellenic Republic amounting to € 4.7 billion.
  • b. has singed borrowing agreements of special securities issued by the Hellenic Republic amounting to €1.4 billion.

In order to derive liquidity the above securities have been used as collateral to the ECB.

ATEbank during the first semester of 2011 participated in the 2011 EU – wide stress test for the banking sector conducted by the European Banking Authority (EBA). The stress test has been carried out using a static balance sheet assumption as at 31st December 2010 and did not take into account the generic provisions of the credit institution, certain actions that have already taken place, as well as future business strategies and management actions.

The results of the stress test for ATEbank suggested an excess of capital in 2012 under the base scenario, while under the adverse scenario the test suggested a shortfall compared to the minimum that has been set out as a capital benchmark for the purpose of the exercise. The basic reason leading to this shortfall is the assumptions regarding the evolution of the Greek economy under the adverse scenario. ATEbank has a significant exposure to Greek Sovereign, which is in relative terms, taking into account the level of its owner's equity and total assets, the largest among the Greek banking system. As a result, ATEbank, under an adverse scenario regarding the evolution of the Greek economy, which is among other adverse conditions assumed on the stress test exercise, was the bank influenced the most among Greek banks.

Taking into consideration the generic provisions ATEbank has formed as at 31st December 2010 as well as the issuance of bonds convertible to common equity (in accordance with the recent General Meeting of shareholders decision), as EBA concluded, the Core Tier I ratio under adverse scenario rises to 6%, exceeding the minimum level set (5%).

Capital Adequacy ratio is estimated at 5.7% while Core Tier I ratio at 4.3% despite of the recently completed share capital increase of ATEbank, and due to the recognition of the estimated loss from Group's participation to the support mechanism for the financial aid towards Greece through the voluntary participation of the private sector. ATEbank, in conjunction with its Restructuring Plan adjustment in the light of recent developments, will take all the necessary measures in order to strengthen Group's capital adequacy.

Greek banks are expected during the second semester of 2011 to cope with problems such as the continuing recession of the Greek economy, the conclusive agreement on the participation of private sector in the Greek sovereign debt resolution scheme, the evolution of deposits, the management of rising non – performing loans in light of the continuing recession as well as the available funding sources.

In order to cope with the consequences of the adverse economic environment during the second semester of 2011, ATEbank will adhere to its current strategy of intensive monitoring of the non – performing loan portfolio and take all necessary measures for loan restructuring. The prudent provision policy, if necessary, will continue in the second half of 2011.

In this framework, among the most significant developments during the first semester of 2011 for ATEbank are:

The BoD of ATEBank as well as its subsidiaries (owned by 100%) Α.Τ.Ε. A.X.E.P.E.Y. and ATE CARDS A.E. decided in their sessions held at 30/06/2011 the initiation of a merger by absorption of these entities by the Bank, according to the ordinance of article 16 of L. 2515/1997, articles 69-79 of L. 2190/1920 and articles 1-5 of L. 2166/1993 and as a common date of transform Balance Sheet has been determined the 30th of June 2011. Moreover, the authorisations for the preparation and ratification of the Merger Contract Plan, for which relative confirmations and decisions will be taken and certain publication will follow, became available. Investors will be informed about the progress of this procces, through a later announcement.

  • The Bank published an invitation of expression of interest for the participation in the process of the disposal of SEKAP S.A. block of shares as well as EL.VI.Z. S.A..
  • The Bank published an invitation of expression of interest for the acquisition of the 82,33% percentage of Hellenic Sugar Company S.A. shares. The reclassification according to IFRS 5 did not realized, since the Bank considers that the process of the disposal probably will not be completed within a year, due to the complexity of the project. The commitment that the Bank has undertaken for the disengagement from the participation has extended until 2012.
  • As at 30th of August 2011 ATEbank's BOD decided to participate in ATEBANK ROMANIA share capital increase up to the amount of € 20 mil. In order to participate in this action, a relevant approval will be requested from the Directorate for Competition of the European Commission.

As at 30.06.2011 the Group's subsidiaries held 2.919.816 shares of ATEbank, the acquisition cost of which amounts to € 11.091.725. It is worth noting that the acquisition cost of own shares is deducted from equity.

Α. According to article 2, paragraph 4 of Law 3016/2002, the outstanding balances of the Group's companies' transactions with members of their Boards of Directors, their close family members or companies related to them, as well as the corresponding income and expenses as at 31 December 2010, are formed as follows:

Independent Auditor's Review Report (on the Interim Financial Information)

[Translation from the original text in Greek]

Report on Review of Interim Financial Information

To the shareholders of «AGRICTULURAL BANK OF GREECE S.A.» Company registration no. 24402/06/Β/91/39

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying company and consolidated statement of financial position of "Agricultural Bank of Greece S.A." (the "Bank") and its subsidiaries (the "Group"), as of 30 June 2011, the related condensed (company and consolidated) statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month period then ended and the selected explanatory notes, that comprise the interim condensed financial information and which form an integral part of the sixmonth financial report as required by article 5 of L.3556/2007. Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this condensed interim financial information in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as they have been adopted by the European Union and applied to interim financial reporting (International Accounting Standard "IAS 34"). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34.

Emphasis of matter

Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to note 8 of the interim financial information, where it is mentioned that the Group's capital adequacy ratio has dropped below the minimum requirements set by the Bank of Greece, as a result of the Group's participation in the Greek Government Bond rollover programme, and to the actions that the Management will take to restore the said ratio above the regulatory limit.

Reference to Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

Our review has not revealed any inconsistency or discrepancy of the other information included in the six-month financial report, as required by article 5 of L.3556/2007, with the accompanying interim condensed financial information.

All entities are consolidated under the full consolidation method with the exception of FIRST BUSINESS BANK S.A., AIK BANKA and SEKAP, for which the Equity method is applied. Within the closing period and in particular as at 27 April 2011, ΑΤΕ TECHNIKI PLIROFORIKI S.A. was set under termination and liquidation.

ALFA ALFA ENERGY S.A. is not included in ATEbank's consolidated financial statements, due to its insignificant impact on Group's financial position.

The Group has a network of 483 branches in Greece and 31 abroad, 30 of which in Romania (ATEbank Romania) and 1 in Germany, which offer to the customers a wide range of banking activities. The Group also has 916 ATMs (Automatic Teller Machines) in Greece and 45 in Romania. Approximately 45% of the branches are privately owned.

The Group has 8.421 employees, of which 6.487 are in the banking and finance sector.

The Group's financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2011 are available upon request at the Bank's registered office (23 Panepistimiou Str., Athens) or on the web address www.atebank.gr.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The interim consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union, applicable to Interim Financial Reporting (IAS 34). The interim financial statements do not provide all the information required in the preparation of the annual financial statements and thus they should be examined in conjuction with the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2010.

The financial statements in standalone and consolidated basis were approved by the Board of Directors on 14 September 2011 and are available on the web address www.atebank.gr

3. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies that have been applied by the Group for the preparation of the interim financial statements of 30 June 2011 are the same as those presented in the published financial statements as of 31 December 2010.

4. USE OF ESTIMATION AND JUDGEMENT

The preparation of financial statements according to I.F.R.S. requires management to make judgements, estimations and assumptions that may affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimations.

For the preparation of those Interim Financial Statements the Group made the same estimations and assumptions concerning the adoption of the accounting policies as those made for the preparation of the financial statements as at 31 December 2010 with the exception of the impairement of GGB's (Note 7).

5. COMPARATIVE ITEMS

In those circumstances whenever considered necessary, comparative items of the previous year are restated in order to render these items uniform and comparable with the respective items of the current period. For current interim financial statements preparation purposes, the Bank realized a reclassification between previous year's "interest income" and "net trading income" concerning derivatives interest at an amount of € 24.184 mil. for which hedge accounting is applied. Moreover, "retained losses" are restated as at 1st January 2010 in order to depict fair value hedge accounting policy that the Bank applies, correctly. The impact of these restatements are further explained in Note 24.

6. NEW STANDARDS

New standards, amendments to standards and interpretations: Certain new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been issued that are mandatory for periods beginning during the current financial year and subsequent years. The Group's evaluation of the effect of these new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations is as follows:

Standards and Interpretations effective for the current financial year

IAS 24 (Revised) "Related Party Disclosures"

This amendment attempts to reduce disclosures of transactions between government-related entities and clarify related-party definition. More specifically, it removes the requirement for government-related entities to disclose details of all transactions with the government and other government-related entities, clarifies and simplifies the definition of a related party and requires the disclosure not only of the relationships, transactions and outstanding balances between related parties, but of commitments as

well in both the consolidated and the individual financial statements. This revision does affect the Group's financial statements.

IAS 32 (Amendment) "Financial Instruments: Presentation"

This amendment clarifies how certain rights issues should be classified. In particular, based on this amendment, rights, options or warrants to acquire a fixed number of the entity's own equity instruments for a fixed amount of any currency are equity instruments if the entity offers the rights, options or warrants pro rata to all of its existing owners of the same class of its own non-derivative equity instruments. This amendment is not relevant to the Group.

IFRIC 19 "Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments"

This interpretation addresses the accounting by the entity that issues equity instruments to a creditor in order to settle, in full or in part, a financial liability. This interpretation is not relevant to the Group.

IFRIC 14 (Amendment) "The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction"

The amendments apply in limited circumstances: when an entity is subject to minimum funding requirements and makes an early payment of contributions to cover those requirements. The amendments permit such an entity to treat the benefit of such an early payment as an asset. This interpretation is not relevant to the Group.

Amendments to standards that form part of the IASB's 2010 annual improvements project

The amendments set out below describe the key changes to IFRSs following the publication in May 2010 of the results of the IASB's annual improvements project. Unless otherwise stated the following amendments do not have a material impact on the Group's financial statements.

IFRS 3 "Business Combinations"

The amendments provide additional guidance with respect to: (i) contingent consideration arrangements arising from business combinations with acquisition dates preceding the application of IFRS 3 (2008); (ii) measuring non-controlling interests; and (iii) accounting for share-based payment transactions that are part of a business combination, including un-replaced and voluntarily replaced share-based payment awards.

IFRS 7 "Financial Instruments: Disclosures"

The amendments include multiple clarifications related to the disclosure of financial instruments.

IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements"

The amendment clarifies that entities may present an analysis of the components of other comprehensive income either in the statement of changes in equity or within the notes.

IAS 27 "Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements"

The amendment clarifies that the consequential amendments to IAS 21, IAS 28 and IAS 31 resulting from the 2008 revisions to IAS 27 are to be applied prospectively.

IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting"

The amendment places greater emphasis on the disclosure principles that should be applied with respect to significant events and transactions, including changes to fair value measurements, and the need to update relevant information from the most recent annual report.

IFRIC 13 "Customer Loyalty Programmes"

The amendment clarifies the meaning of the term 'fair value' in the context of measuring award credits under customer loyalty programmes.

Standards and Interpretations effective from periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012

IFRS 7 (Amendment) "Financial Instruments: Disclosures" – transfers of financial assets (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011)

This amendment sets out disclosure requirements for transferred financial assets not derecognised in their entirety as well as on transferred financial assets derecognised in their entirety but in which the

reporting entity has continuing involvement. It also provides guidance on applying the disclosure requirements. This amendment has not yet been endorsed by the EU.

IAS 12 (Amendment) "Income Taxes" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012)

The amendment to IAS 12 provides a practical approach for measuring deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets when investment property is measured using the fair value model in IAS 40 "Investment Property". This amendment has not yet been endorsed by the EU.

IAS 1 (Amendment) "Presentation of Financial Statements" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2012)

The amendment requires entities to separate items presented in other comprehensive income into two groups, based on whether or not they may be recycled to profit or loss in the future. This amendment has not yet been endorsed by the EU.

IAS 19 (Amendment) "Employee Benefits" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013)

This amendment makes significant changes to the recognition and measurement of defined benefit pension expense and termination benefits (eliminates the corridor approach) and to the disclosures for all employee benefits. The key changes relate mainly to recognition of actuarial gains and losses, recognition of past service cost / curtailment, measurement of pension expense, disclosure requirements, treatment of expenses and taxes relating to employee benefit plans and distinction between "short-term" and "other long-term" benefits. This amendment has not yet been endorsed by the EU.

IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013)

IFRS 9 is the first Phase of the Board's project to replace IAS 39 and deals with the classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities. The IASB intends to expand IFRS 9 in subsequent phases in order to add new requirements for impairment and hedge accounting. The Group is currently investigating the impact of IFRS 9 on its financial statements. The Group cannot currently early adopt IFRS 9 as it has not been endorsed by the EU. Only once approved will the Group decide if IFRS 9 will be adopted prior to 1 January 2013.

IFRS 13 "Fair Value Measurement" (Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013)

IFRS 13 provides new guidance on fair value measurement and disclosure requirements. These requirements do not extend the use of fair value accounting but provide guidance on how it should be applied where its use is already required or permitted by other standards within IFRSs. IFRS 13 provides a precise definition of fair value and a single source of fair value measurement and disclosure requirements for use across IFRSs. Disclosure requirements are enhanced and apply to all assets and liabilities measured at fair value, not just financial ones. This standard has not yet been endorsed by the EU.

Group of standards on consolidation and joint arrangements (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013)

The IASB has published five new standards on consolidation and joint arrangements: IFRS 10, IFRS 11, IFRS 12, IAS 27 (amendment) and IAS 28 (amendment). These standards are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. Earlier application is permitted only if the entire "package" of five standards is adopted at the same time. These standards have not yet been endorsed by the EU. The Group is in the process of assessing the impact of the new standards on its consolidated financial statements. The main provisions are as follows:

IFRS 10 "Consolidated Financial Statements"

IFRS 10 replaces all of the guidance on control and consolidation in IAS 27 and SIC 12. The new standard changes the definition of control for the purpose of determining which entities should be consolidated. This definition is supported by extensive application guidance that addresses the different

ways in which a reporting entity (investor) might control another entity (investee). The revised definition of control focuses on the need to have both power (the current ability to direct the activities that significantly influence returns) and variable returns (can be positive, negative or both) before control is present. The new standard also includes guidance on participating and protective rights, as well as on agency/ principal relationships.

IFRS 11 "Joint Arrangements"

IFRS 11 provides for a more realistic reflection of joint arrangements by focusing on the rights and obligations of the arrangement, rather than its legal form. The types of joint arrangements are reduced to two: joint operations and joint ventures. Proportional consolidation of joint ventures is no longer allowed. Equity accounting is mandatory for participants in joint ventures. Entities that participate in joint operations will follow accounting much like that for joint assets or joint operations today. The standard also provides guidance for parties that participate in joint arrangements but do not have joint control.

IFRS 12 "Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities"

IFRS 12 requires entities to disclose information, including significant judgments and assumptions, which enable users of financial statements to evaluate the nature, risks and financial effects associated with the entity's interests in subsidiaries, associates, joint arrangements and unconsolidated structured entities. An entity can provide any or all of the above disclosures without having to apply IFRS 12 in its entirety, or IFRS 10 or 11, or the amended IAS 27 or 28.

IAS 27 (Amendment) "Separate Financial Statements"

This Standard is issued concurrently with IFRS 10 and together, the two IFRSs supersede IAS 27 "Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements". The amended IAS 27 prescribes the accounting and disclosure requirements for investment in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates when an entity prepares separate financial statements. At the same time, the Board relocated to IAS 27 requirements from IAS 28 "Investments in Associates" and IAS 31 "Interests in Joint Ventures" regarding separate financial statements.

IAS 28 (Amendment) "Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures"

IAS 28 "Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures" replaces IAS 28 "Investments in Associates". The objective of this Standard is to prescribe the accounting for investments in associates and to set out the requirements for the application of the equity method when accounting for investments in associates and joint ventures, following the issue of IFRS 11.

7. INFORMATION REGARDING GROUP's EXPOSURE TO GREEK GOVERNMENT BOND

On 21 July 2011, along with the announcement of the new terms of debt restructuring plan of the Greek State, such as interest rate reduction to public entities, extension of existing loans EU/IMF from 7,5 to 15 years, active participation of EFSF, a plan concerning the prospective participation of the private sector to participate as well (Private Sector Involvement - PSI) for further strengthening of total viability of Greek Public Debt, was published. The aforementioned plan which IIF (International Institute of Finance) announced the same day, regards the voluntary exchange of specific Greek Government Bonds (GGBs) with a maturity up to the year 2020 with newly issued GGBs with a maturity up to 30 years and will be applied under the specific terms of four possible choices.

As a condition for the success of the above plan for further strengthening of total viability of Greek Public Debt, was set the attainment of a target percentage of participation no less than 90% of the face value of the GGB issues in question (that is, those with a maturity up to the year 2020).

Therefore, the management reckons that due to the Group's given intention to participate to the aforementioned Plan, the disclosure of the above Plan should be taken into account as "corrective event" on the Balance Sheet date, in the Interim Financial Statements preparation for the period ended as at 30 June 2011, according to IAS 10 "Events after the Reporting Period", since it confirms the conditions that existed as at 30 June 2011. These conditions regard the increased possibility of a debtor/issuer's financial restructuring, with more unfavorable terms for investors as it became clear after the release of the plan in question.

The Group has the intention to participate to the aforementioned Plan for the whole portfolio that is possible to partake in it, contributing so to the attainment of the target critical private sector participation percentage and to achieving further strengthening of the entire viability of Greek debt. Consequently, the Group proceed to an evaluation of the expected impairement of the value of the specific GGBs that it owns as at 30/6/2011 and recognized the resulting impairment loss in current Financial Statements.

Furthermore, the management believes that there will be sufficient acceptance from the Private Sector of the proposed plan and that the other terms of the new Greek State restructuring plan contribute decisively to the total service of goverment debt. Therefore, the GGB's that do not take part in the Plan, do not present objective indication for impairement.

The total impairment loss amount to € 836,4 mil. and includes an amount of € 90,7 mil. concerning the anamortized debit "Available for sale" reserve for the reclassified GGBs and an amount of €17,0 mil. concerning the debit reserve of GGB's reclassified at 30/6/2011 to the category "Available for sale". The remaining of the impairement loss of the GGB for which is estimated that will participate in the Plan, was calculated based on the four choices given by the IIF as follows:

1. "Available for sale portfolio"

All GGB's of the portfolio in question were measured in fair value and their negative reserve was transferred in total to the Income Statement.

2. GGB of "Held to maturity" and "Loans and advances to customers"

The impairement amount is determined as the difference between book value and the present value of future cash flows discounted with the Effective Interest Rate of each security.

For those GGB's that have been reclassified to "Available for sale portfolio", the effective interest rate in effect on the day of reclassification, was used. The anamortized debit "Available for sal"e reserve of €90,7 mil., which concerns GGB's reclassified to "Held to maturity" portfolio, was entirely transferred to Income Statement.

The estimation of future cash flows of the newly issued GGB's was based on the current level of the annual mid-swap rate as well as on the current management's view on the four available choices. Therefore, the final impairement amount, which will be determined on the date of the final agreement with the Greek State (expected in mid October 2011), will be different according to final interest rates, as well as the final Management decision in respect to the four available alternatives after the finalization of their terms.

8. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AND CAPITAL ADEQUACY

The Group's Risk management main concerns are:

  • To comply with the capital requirements set by the regulators of the Banking markets where the Bank operates
  • To safeguard the Group's ability to continue as a going concern so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders; and
  • To maintain a strong capital base to support the development of its business.

Capital adequacy and the use of regulatory capital are monitored daily by the Group's management, employing techniques based on the guidelines developed by the Basel Committee and the European Community Directives, as implemented by the Bank of Greece. The required information is filed with the Authority on a quarterly basis.

Capital adequacy for the Group is measured according to the relevant direction of the Bank of Greece (Directive of the Bank of Greece 2630/2010 & 2588/07), that applies the direction of the European Union relating to the capital adequacy of financial institutions and investment companies. According to the abovementioned direction subsidiaries that are either financial institutions or investment companies are consolidated according to the full consolidation method, while companies that belong to the insurance, industrial and commercial sector are consolidated using the equity method.

The Group's regulatory capital is divided into two tiers:

• Tier 1 capital

Includes the share capital, the share premium reserve, the retained earnings, the reserves excluding the revaluation reserve of securities available for sale, and the minority interest excluding intangible assets, treasury shares, and half the participation to other financial institutions share capital and the Significant Credit Exposures excesses.

• Tier 2 capital

Includes the subordinated loan of Euro 250 mil., which expires in 2018, and excludes half the participation to other financial institutions share capital and the Significant Credit Exposures excesses.

From the total of Tier 1 and 2, the participation in the Insurance company of the Group is being excluded.

The risk-weighted assets are measured by means of a hierarchy of five risk weights classified according to their nature and reflect an estimate of credit, market and other risks associated with each asset and counterparty, taking into account any eligible collateral or guarantees. A similar treatment is adopted for off-balance sheet exposure, with some adjustments aiming to reflect the nature of potential losses.

The capital adequacy ratio is determined according to Basel II. The new supervisory frame of capital adequacy, applicable from January 1st 2008, introduces capital claims against operational risk and includes amendments in the estimation of capital claims against credit risk.

The table below summarizes the composition of regulatory capital of the Group for the period ended 30 June 2011.

30/06/2011
Tier 1 Capital 549.781
Tier 2 Capital 186.654
Regulatory capital 736.435
Risk-weighted assets 12.819.320
Capital adequacy ratio 5,74%

The current capital adequacy ratio for the Group is estimated to be 5,74%. Due to the Group's participation in the PSI, the capital adequacy ratio falls short of the regulatory threshold of 8%. The management, taking into account current conditions as a result of the Group's participation in the Greek Government Bond rollover programme, in cooperation with the main shareholder and European Commission bodies, will revise the restructuring plan and proceed to a share capital increase in order to restore the said ratio above the regulatory limit set by the Bank of Greece.

The management, taking into account the expected positive outcome of the aforementioned actions, has a reasonable expectation that the Group will continue in operational existence in the foreseeable future. Therefore, the Group continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its interim consolidated financial information.

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Agricultural Bank, (the Bank or ATE), was founded in 1929. The Bank's registered office is at 23 Panepistimiou Str. in the municipality of Athens. The purpose of the Bank, according to the Article of Association is to provide banking services that contribute to the modernization and growth of the economy and more specifically the Agricultural Sector. The Bank's basic business activities are retail banking, corporate loans, the public sector, investment banking and treasury.

The Bank has a network of 483 branches in Greece and 31 abroad, 30 of which in Romania, (ATEbank Romania), and 1 in Germany which offer to the clients a wide range of banking activities. The Bank also has 916 ATMs (Automatic Teller Machines) in Greece and 45 in Romania, while 45% of the branches are privately owned.

The number of persons employed by the Bank as at 30/6/2011 was 5.978 (30/06/2010: 6.476).

The Bank's shares have been listed since 2000 on the Athens Stock Exchange and are included in the FTSE 20 Index (index for Large Capitalization Companies).

The Bank's financial statements as at 30/06/2011 are available upon request at the Bank's registered office (23 Panepistimiou Str., Athens) or on the web address www.atebank.gr

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The interim financial statements of the Bank have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union, applicable to Interim Financial Reporting (IAS 34). The interim financial statements do not provide all the information required in the preparation of the annual financial statements and thus they should be examined in conjuction with the Bank's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2010.

ATEbank also prepares consolidated financial statements in consistency to the above mentioned accounting standards.

The financial statements in standalone and consolidated basis were approved by the Board of Directors on 14 September 2011 and are available on the web address www.atebank.gr

3. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies which have been applied by the Bank in the preparation of the interim financial statements as of 30 June 2011, are the same as those presented in the published financial statements as of 31 December 2010.

4. USE OF ESTIMATION AND JUDGEMENT

The preparation of financial statements according to I.F.R.S. requires management to make judgements, estimations and assumptions that may affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimations.

For the preparation of those interim financial statements, the Bank followed the same estimations and assumptions concerning the adoption of the accounting policies as those made for the preparation of the financial statements as of 31 December 2010 with the exception of the impairement of GGB's (Note 7).

5. COMPARATIVE ITEMS

In those circumstances whenever considered necessary, comparative items of the previous year are restated in order to render these items uniform and comparable with the respective items of the current period. For current interim financial statements preparation purposes, the Bank realized a reclassification

between previous year's "interest income" and "net trading income" concerning derivatives interest at an amount of € 24.184 mil. for which hedge accounting is applied. Moreover, "retained losses" are restated as at 1st January 2010 in order to depict correctly the fair value hedge accounting policy that the Bank applies. The impact of these restatements are further explained in Note 23.

6. NEW STANDARDS

New standards, amendments to standards and interpretations: Certain new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been issued that are mandatory for periods beginning during the current financial year and subsequent years. The Bank's evaluation of the effect of these new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations is as follows:

Standards and Interpretations effective for the current financial year

IAS 24 (Revised) "Related Party Disclosures"

This amendment attempts to reduce disclosures of transactions between government-related entities and clarify related-party definition. More specifically, it removes the requirement for government-related entities to disclose details of all transactions with the government and other government-related entities, clarifies and simplifies the definition of a related party and requires the disclosure not only of the relationships, transactions and outstanding balances between related parties, but of commitments as well in both the consolidated and the individual financial statements. This revision does affect the Bank's financial statements.

IAS 32 (Amendment) "Financial Instruments: Presentation"

This amendment clarifies how certain rights issues should be classified. In particular, based on this amendment, rights, options or warrants to acquire a fixed number of the entity's own equity instruments for a fixed amount of any currency are equity instruments if the entity offers the rights, options or warrants pro rata to all of its existing owners of the same class of its own non-derivative equity instruments. This amendment is not relevant to the Bank.

IFRIC 19 "Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments"

This interpretation addresses the accounting by the entity that issues equity instruments to a creditor in order to settle, in full or in part, a financial liability. This interpretation is not relevant to the Bank.

IFRIC 14 (Amendment) "The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction"

The amendments apply in limited circumstances: when an entity is subject to minimum funding requirements and makes an early payment of contributions to cover those requirements. The amendments permit such an entity to treat the benefit of such an early payment as an asset. This interpretation is not relevant to the Bank.

Amendments to standards that form part of the IASB's 2010 annual improvements project

The amendments set out below describe the key changes to IFRSs following the publication in May 2010 of the results of the IASB's annual improvements project. Unless otherwise stated the following amendments do not have a material impact on the Bank's financial statements.

IFRS 3 "Business Combinations"

The amendments provide additional guidance with respect to: (i) contingent consideration arrangements arising from business combinations with acquisition dates preceding the application of IFRS 3 (2008); (ii) measuring non-controlling interests; and (iii) accounting for share-based payment transactions that are part of a business combination, including un-replaced and voluntarily replaced share-based payment awards.

IFRS 7 "Financial Instruments: Disclosures"

The amendments include multiple clarifications related to the disclosure of financial instruments.

IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements"

The amendment clarifies that entities may present an analysis of the components of other comprehensive income either in the statement of changes in equity or within the notes.

IAS 27 "Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements"

The amendment clarifies that the consequential amendments to IAS 21, IAS 28 and IAS 31 resulting from the 2008 revisions to IAS 27 are to be applied prospectively.

IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting"

The amendment places greater emphasis on the disclosure principles that should be applied with respect to significant events and transactions, including changes to fair value measurements, and the need to update relevant information from the most recent annual report.

IFRIC 13 "Customer Loyalty Programmes"

The amendment clarifies the meaning of the term 'fair value' in the context of measuring award credits under customer loyalty programmes.

Standards and Interpretations effective from periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012

IFRS 7 (Amendment) "Financial Instruments: Disclosures" – transfers of financial assets (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011)

This amendment sets out disclosure requirements for transferred financial assets not derecognised in their entirety as well as on transferred financial assets derecognised in their entirety but in which the reporting entity has continuing involvement. It also provides guidance on applying the disclosure requirements. This amendment has not yet been endorsed by the EU.

IAS 12 (Amendment) "Income Taxes" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012)

The amendment to IAS 12 provides a practical approach for measuring deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets when investment property is measured using the fair value model in IAS 40 "Investment Property". This amendment has not yet been endorsed by the EU.

IAS 1 (Amendment) "Presentation of Financial Statements" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2012)

The amendment requires entities to separate items presented in other comprehensive income into two groups, based on whether or not they may be recycled to profit or loss in the future. This amendment has not yet been endorsed by the EU.

IAS 19 (Amendment) "Employee Benefits" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013)

This amendment makes significant changes to the recognition and measurement of defined benefit pension expense and termination benefits (eliminates the corridor approach) and to the disclosures for all employee benefits. The key changes relate mainly to recognition of actuarial gains and losses, recognition of past service cost / curtailment, measurement of pension expense, disclosure requirements, treatment of expenses and taxes relating to employee benefit plans and distinction between "short-term" and "other long-term" benefits. This amendment has not yet been endorsed by the EU.

IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013)

IFRS 9 is the first Phase of the Board's project to replace IAS 39 and deals with the classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities. The IASB intends to expand IFRS 9 in subsequent phases in order to add new requirements for impairment and hedge accounting. The Group is currently investigating the impact of IFRS 9 on its financial statements. The Group cannot currently early adopt IFRS 9 as it has not been endorsed by the EU. Only once approved will the Group decide if IFRS 9 will be adopted prior to 1 January 2013.

IFRS 13 "Fair Value Measurement" (Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013)

IFRS 13 provides new guidance on fair value measurement and disclosure requirements. These requirements do not extend the use of fair value accounting but provide guidance on how it should be applied where its use is already required or permitted by other standards within IFRSs. IFRS 13 provides

a precise definition of fair value and a single source of fair value measurement and disclosure requirements for use across IFRSs. Disclosure requirements are enhanced and apply to all assets and liabilities measured at fair value, not just financial ones. This standard has not yet been endorsed by the EU.

Group of standards on consolidation and joint arrangements (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013)

The IASB has published five new standards on consolidation and joint arrangements: IFRS 10, IFRS 11, IFRS 12, IAS 27 (amendment) and IAS 28 (amendment). These standards are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. Earlier application is permitted only if the entire "package" of five standards is adopted at the same time. These standards have not yet been endorsed by the EU. The Group is in the process of assessing the impact of the new standards on its consolidated financial statements. The main provisions are as follows:

IFRS 10 "Consolidated Financial Statements"

IFRS 10 replaces all of the guidance on control and consolidation in IAS 27 and SIC 12. The new standard changes the definition of control for the purpose of determining which entities should be consolidated. This definition is supported by extensive application guidance that addresses the different ways in which a reporting entity (investor) might control another entity (investee). The revised definition of control focuses on the need to have both power (the current ability to direct the activities that significantly influence returns) and variable returns (can be positive, negative or both) before control is present. The new standard also includes guidance on participating and protective rights, as well as on agency/ principal relationships.

IFRS 11 "Joint Arrangements"

IFRS 11 provides for a more realistic reflection of joint arrangements by focusing on the rights and obligations of the arrangement, rather than its legal form. The types of joint arrangements are reduced to two: joint operations and joint ventures. Proportional consolidation of joint ventures is no longer allowed. Equity accounting is mandatory for participants in joint ventures. Entities that participate in joint operations will follow accounting much like that for joint assets or joint operations today. The standard also provides guidance for parties that participate in joint arrangements but do not have joint control.

IFRS 12 "Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities"

IFRS 12 requires entities to disclose information, including significant judgments and assumptions, which enable users of financial statements to evaluate the nature, risks and financial effects associated with the entity's interests in subsidiaries, associates, joint arrangements and unconsolidated structured entities. An entity can provide any or all of the above disclosures without having to apply IFRS 12 in its entirety, or IFRS 10 or 11, or the amended IAS 27 or 28.

IAS 27 (Amendment) "Separate Financial Statements"

This Standard is issued concurrently with IFRS 10 and together, the two IFRSs supersede IAS 27 "Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements". The amended IAS 27 prescribes the accounting and disclosure requirements for investment in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates when an entity prepares separate financial statements. At the same time, the Board relocated to IAS 27 requirements from IAS 28 "Investments in Associates" and IAS 31 "Interests in Joint Ventures" regarding separate financial statements.

IAS 28 (Amendment) "Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures"

IAS 28 "Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures" replaces IAS 28 "Investments in Associates". The objective of this Standard is to prescribe the accounting for investments in associates and to set out the requirements for the application of the equity method when accounting for investments in associates and joint ventures, following the issue of IFRS 11.

On 21 July 2011, along with the announcement of the new terms of debt restructuring plan of the Greek State, such as interest rate reduction to public entities, extension of existing loans EU/IMF from 7,5 to 15 years, active participation of EFSF, a plan concerning the prospective participation of the private sector to participate as well (Private Sector Involvement - PSI) for further strengthening of total viability of Greek Public Debt, was published. The aforementioned plan which IIF (International Institute of Finance) announced the same day, regards the voluntary exchange of specific Greek Government Bonds (GGBs) with a maturity up to the year 2020 with newly issued GGBs with a maturity up to 30 years and will be applied under the specific terms of four possible choices.

As a condition for the success of the above plan for further strengthening of total viability of Greek Public Debt, was set the attainment of a target percentage of participation no less than 90% of the face value of the GGB issues in question (that is, those with a maturity up to the year 2020).

Therefore, the management reckons that due to the Group's given intention to participate to the aforementioned Plan, the disclosure of the above Plan should be taken into account as "corrective event" on the Balance Sheet date, in the Interim Financial Statements preparation for the period ended as at 30 June 2011, according to IAS 10 "Events after the Reporting Period", since it confirms the conditions that existed as at 30 June 2011. These conditions regard the increased possibility of a debtor/issuer's financial restructuring, with more unfavorable terms for investors as it became clear after the release of the plan in question.

The Group has the intention to participate to the aforementioned Plan for the whole portfolio that is possible to partake in it, contributing so to the attainment of the target critical private sector participation percentage and to achieving further strengthening of the entire viability of Greek debt. Consequently, the Group proceed to an evaluation of the expected impairement of the value of the specific GGBs that it owns as at 30/6/2011 and recognized the resulting impairment loss in current Financial Statements.

Furthermore, the management believes that there will be sufficient acceptance from the Private Sector of the proposed plan and that the other terms of the new Greek State restructuring plan contribute decisively to the total service of goverment debt. Therefore, the GGBs that do not take part in the Plan, do not present objective indication for impairement.

The total impairment loss amount to € 762,0 mil. and includes an amount of € 73,4 mil. concerning the anamortized debit "Available for sale" reserve for the reclassified GGB's and an amount of € 9,9 mil., concerning the debit reserve of GGBs reclassified at 30/6/2011 to the category "Available for sale". The remaining of the impairement loss of the GGB for which is estimated that will participate in the Plan, was calculated based on the four choices given by the IIF as follows:

1. "Available for sale portfolio"

All GGB's of the portfolio in question were measured in fair value and their negative reserve was transferred in total to the Comprehensive Income Statement.

2. GGB of "Held to maturity" and "Loans and advances to customers"

The impairement amount is determined as the difference between book value and the present value of future cash flows discounted with the Effective Interest Rate of each security.

For those GGB's that have been reclassified to "Available for sale portfolio", the effective interest rate in effect on the day of reclassification, was used. The anamortized debit "Available for sale" reserve of €73,4 mil., which concerns GGB's reclassified to "Held to maturity" portfolio, was entirely transferred to Income Statement.

The estimation of future cash flows of the newly issued GGB's was based on the current level of the annual mid-swap rate as well as on the current management's view on the four available choices. Therefore, the final impairement amount, which will be determined on the date of the final agreement

with the Greek State (expected in mid October 2011), will be different according to final interest rates, as well as the final Management decision in respect to the four available alternatives after the finalization of their terms.

8. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AND CAPITAL ADEQUACY

The Bank's objectives when managing capital, are:

  • To comply with the capital requirements set by the regulators of the Banking markets where the Bank operates;
  • To safeguard the Bank's ability to continue as a going concern so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders; and
  • To maintain a strong capital base to support the development of its business.

Capital adequacy and the use of regulatory capital are daily monitored by the Bank's management, employing techniques based on the guidelines developed by the Basel Committee and the European Community Directives, as implemented by the Bank of Greece. The required information is filed with the Authority on a quarterly basis.

The bank's capital adequacy is calculated according to the relevant directive by the Bank of Greece (2630/2010 & 2588/2007), which is an enforcement of the directive of the European Union for the capital adequacy of financial institutions and investment funds.

The Bank's regulatory capital is divided into two tiers:

• Tier 1 capital

Includes the share capital, the share premium reserve, the retained earnings, the reserves excluding the revaluation reserve of securities available for sale, and the minority interest excluding intangible assets, treasury shares, and half the participation to other financial institutions share capital and the Significant Credit Exposures excess.

• Tier 2 capital

Includes the subordinated loan of Euro 250 mil., which expires in 2018, and excludes half the participation to other financial institutions share capital and the Significant Credit Exposures excess.

The risk-weighted assets are measured by means of a hierarchy of five risk weights classified according to their nature and reflect an estimate of credit, market and other risks associated with each asset and counterparty, taking into account any eligible collateral or guarantees. A similar treatment is adopted for off-balance sheet exposure, with some adjustments aiming to reflect the nature of potential losses.

The capital adequacy ratio is determined according to Basel II. The new supervisory frame of capital adequacy, applicable from January 1st 2008, introduces capital claims against operational risk and includes amendments in the estimation of capital claims against credit risk.

The table below summarizes the composition of regulatory capital of the Bank for the period ended 30 June 2011.

30/06/2011
Tier 1 Capital 679.266
Tier 2 Capital 96.944
Regulatory capital 776.210
Risk-weighted assets 12.500.642
Capital adequacy ratio 6,21%

The current capital adequacy ratio for the Bank is estimated to be 6,21%. Due to the Bank's participation in the PSI, the capital adequacy ratio falls short of the regulatory threshold of 8%. The management, taking into account current conditions as a result of the Bank's participation in the Greek Government Bond rollover programme, in cooperation with the main shareholder and European Commission bodies, will revise the restructuring plan and proceed to a share capital increase in order to restore the said ratio above the regulatory limit set by the Bank of Greece.

The management, taking into account the expected positive outcome of the aforementioned actions, has a reasonable expectation that the Group will continue in operational existence in the foreseeable future. Therefore, the Bank continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its interim consolidated financial information.

9. SEGMENT REPORTING

The Bank has 6 operating segments, as described below, which are considered to be its strategic sectors. These segments provide different services which are managed separately because different standards and promotion policy are required. For every single strategic sector, the Management assesses the internal reports on a monthly basis.

The segments are briefly described below:

  • a) Retail Banking comprises individuals, free-lancers and private companies. This segment manages all the deposit and financing products of this certain group of customers.
  • b) Small and Medium Enterprises comprises all the associate small and medium enterprises. This segment manages all the deposit and financing products of this certain group of customers.
  • c) Corporate Sector comprises all the associate large companies. This segment manages all the deposit and financing products as well as the letters of guarantee of this certain group of customers.
  • d) Public Sector comprises financing of the public sector as well as of the companies under state control. This segment manages all the deposit and financing products as well as other operations such as payment of agricultural subsidies etc.
  • e) Property comprises the Bank's property management.
  • f) Treasury comprises financing activities, investment banking, dealing room's activities in the interbank market (interbank placements and loans, bonds and derivative financial instruments transactions etc).

Segment reporting for the period ended 30/06/2011 is as follows:

According to current Greek Tax Law, companies will apply a 20% tax ratio on year 2011 profits (24% for year 2010).

In Greece the results reported to the tax authorities by an entity are considered provisional and subject to revision until such time as the tax authorities examine the books and records of the entity and the

related tax returns are accepted as final. The Bank has been audited by the tax authorities and has settled all its tax obligations up until 31 December 2008. Due to the method under which the tax obligations are finalized in Greece, the Bank remains contingently liable for additional taxes and penalties for the fiscal years 2009-2010.

For the unaudited years the relative provision has been accounted and as at 30/6/2011 it amounts to EUR 6,68 million.
