Main Data on Banks, for 31.03.2004, for Each Bank

Main Data on Banks, for 31.03.2004, for Each Bank - Introduction  
 
1 The format adopted in this publication gives the main data relating to banks' activities on one page, to enable their profitability, balance-sheet balances, financial ratios and main development trends for the relevant period to be reviewed at a glance. This is not intended to make a thorough reading of the financial statements unnecessary, as a banking corporation's activities may include very significant data or events, which are not reflected in this format.
2 All the data are included explicitly in the financial statements, or can be derived from them via simple calculations, as will be explained below.
Presentation of the data
3 In each chapter the data are further divided into two groups according to the basis of their published financial statements, i.e.:
  - Data on a consolidated basis.
  - Data on an individual bank basis (unconsolidated).
  For a banking corporation which published data on a consolidated basis, no data on an individual bank basis (unconsolidated) are shown.
4 Reconciliation of financial statements In accordance with Accounting Regolations Nos. 12 and 17, the adjustment of financial statements ended on 1 January 2004. Hence data to 31 March 2004 are shown as amounts reported.
  Amount reported: The amount adjusted to the transition date, plus nominal amounts added after the transition date, minus amounts deducted after the transition date (31 December 2003).
  Comparative balance- sheet data are shown adjusted to the December 2003 CPI.
  Regarding comperative data for the Profit and Loss Account:
  a. The items in the Profit and Loss Account up to Ordinary Pre-Tax Profits are shown adjusted to the December 2002 CPI.
  b. Items in the Profit and Loss Account from Ordinary Pre-Tax Profits up to Net Profit Are shown adjusted to the December 2003 CPI.
