Forward-looking information
This document contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the
US Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934, with respect to
the financial condition, results of operations and business of the Group and certain of the plans and
objectives of the Group. In particular, among other statements in this Annual Financial Report, with
regard to management objectives, trends in results of operations, margins, risk management, competition
and the impact of changes in International Financial Reporting Standards are forward-looking in nature.
These forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate only to historical
or current facts. Forward-looking statements sometimes use words such as ‘aim’, ‘anticipate’, ‘target’,
‘expect’, ‘estimate’, ‘intend’, ‘plan’, ‘goal’, ‘believe’, ‘may’, ‘could’, ‘will’, ‘seek’, ‘continue’, ‘should’, ‘assume’,
or other words of similar meaning. Examples of forward-looking statements include among others,
statements regarding the Group’s future financial position, income growth, loan losses, business strategy,
projected costs, capital ratios, estimates of capital expenditures, and plans and objectives for future
operations. Because such statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ
materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information. By their nature,
forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and depend on
circumstances that will occur in the future. There are a number of factors that could cause actual results
and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking
statements. These are set out in ‘Risk factors’ on pages 62 - 68.These factors include, but are not limited
to the Group’s access to funding and liquidity which is adversely affected by the financial instability within
the Eurozone, contagion risks disrupting the financial markets, constraints on liquidity and market reaction
to factors affecting Ireland and the Irish economy, the Group’s markets, particularly for retail deposits, at risk
from more intense competition, the Group’s business being adversely affected by a further deterioration in
economic and market conditions, general economic conditions being very challenging for our mortgage
and other lending customers and increase the risk of payment default, the depressed Irish property prices
may give rise to increased losses experienced by the Group, the Group faces market risks, including
non-trading interest rate risk, the Group is subject to rigorous and demanding Government supervision and
oversight, the Group may be subject to the risk of having insufficient capital to meet increased regulatory
requirements, the Group’s business activities must comply with increasing levels of regulation, the Group’s
participation in the NAMA Programme gives rise to certain residual financial risks, the Group may be
adversely affected by further austerity and budget measures introduced by the Irish Government, the value
of certain financial instruments recorded at fair value is determined using financial models incorporating
assumptions, judgements and estimates that may change over time, or may ultimately not turn out to be
accurate, the Group’s deferred tax assets depend substantially on the generation of future profits over an
extended number of years, adverse changes to tax legislation, regulatory requirements or accounting
standards could impact capital ratios, the Group is subject to inherent credit risks in respect of customers,
the Group faces heightened operational and reputational risks, the restructuring of the Group entails risk,
the Group’s risk management strategies and techniques may be unsuccessful, risk of litigation arising from
the Group’s activities. Any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Group speak only as
of the date they are made. AIB cautions that the foregoing list of important factors is not exhaustive.
Investors and others should carefully consider the foregoing factors and other uncertainties and events when
making an investment decision based on any forward-looking statement. In light of these risks, uncertainties
and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed in this Annual Financial Report may not occur. The
Group does not undertake to release publicly any revision to these forward-looking statements to reflect
events, circumstances or unanticipated events occurring after the date hereof.

(1)At 31 December 2011, under the Central Bank’s Financial Measures Programme (“FMP”), AIB is required to report its core tier 1 capital with
50:50 supervisory deductions now being applied to the core tier 1 capital calculation. These deductions were previously deducted from tier 1 capital.
This methodology is consistent with that used to calculate capital shortfalls for participating institutions in the Prudential Capital Assessment Review
(“PCAR”) 2011.
(2)At 31 December 2010, the Group, on a consolidated and individual basis, benefited from derogations from certain regulatory capital requirements
granted on a temporary basis by the Central Bank of Ireland. The requirement for derogations arose as a result of loan impairment provisions at
31 December 2010. These derogations remained in place until the completion of the liability management exercise on 24 January 2011.

December 2013.
To achieve this AIB established a Non-Core Unit to
formulate and implement AIB’s non-core deleveraging
strategy.
We have made good progress towards achieving the
€ 20.5 billion target with net loan reductions in the year of
c. € 12.7 billion through a combination of disposals,
restructurings, scheduled amortisation and additional
provisioning. Disposals in the year totalled approximately
€ 6.5 billion at an average discount of 5%. Taking
amortisations into account, the average discount for all of the
non-core deleveraging amounts to approximately 4%.
At € 12.7 billion our non-core net loan reduction was
€ 3.3 billion ahead of the target for 2011 and c. 62% of our
overall target.
Although we expect market conditions to remain
difficult throughout 2012, we believe the bank is well
positioned to meet its non-core deleveraging targets as set
out in the Financial Measures Programme over the next two
years and a strong start to disposals in early 2012 reinforces
this view.

Corporate Social Responsibility
AIB has worked with all stakeholders to provide Corporate Social Responsibility (“CSR”) support and the focus
continues to be on adjusting to the rapidly changing market environment. AIB is committed to further embedding CSR
policies and practices across the Group in order to restore its credibility and reputation.
Marketplace
AIB recognises its role in supporting its customers and in contributing to the general economic recovery. To support this
objective, a number of initiatives were introduced.
Small and Medium Enterprises (“SMEs”)
A number of SME propositions to promote credit availability were introduced during 2011 and are proving successful.
These included the Job Creation Fund (€ 100 million) and the Asset Finance Fund (€ 85 million). In addition, a Short
Term Working Capital Finance Fund (€ 120 million - including Insurance Premium Finance and Promptpay) was
launched at the end of 2010 and availability in this Fund continued into 2011. AIB also completed the disbursement of
its European Investment Bank Loan Fund for SMEs (total fund € 250 million).
As part of the commitments associated with the recapitalisation of the Group, AIB in partnership with Enterprise
Ireland, launched a new € 22 million Seed Capital Fund in 2011. This funding is aimed at providing equity to a new
generation of Irish businesses in the emerging markets sector. During 2011, a total of € 6.5million was invested in 21
new companies bringing the total cumulative investments to 78 in 50 separate companies, which are supporting 350
jobs. AIB has now facilitated the creation of € 75 million in total, in Seed Funding in Ireland.
The AIB Business Start-up Package specifically tailored to meet the needs of new and early stage businesses was
re-launched in October 2011. A key enhancement to the package provides new AIB Business Start-up customers with a
50% discount on their first year’s annual membership of their affiliated local Chamber of Commerce.
To assist businesses in applying for credit the Credit Application Process was made more straightforward as AIB
published a standard Credit Application Form in conjunction with Bank of Ireland. This standard form helps small
businesses understand the information required to process their credit requirements.
AIB also continued to increase its engagement with the SME sector during 2011. Close to 250 SME events were
hosted by AIB, which were attended by 15,000 customers. In addition to this almost 2,000 Key Business Influencer
engagements took place throughout the country. AIB also continued its role as lead sponsor in a number of
national business events such as the Small Firms Association National Business Awards, the AIB Tullamore Show and the
AIB Dublin Chamber of Commerce Dinner.
The management of customers in difficulty was a key focus for AIB throughout 2011. A number of initiatives were
undertaken such as the creation of new teams to engage with customers and their advisors. Customers in difficulty are
being dealt with on a case by case basis with the aim of restoring their viability with appropriate and sustainable
solutions.
First Trust Bank in Northern Ireland subscribed to the Business Finance Taskforce, whereby major banks, in
partnership with the British Bankers Association, are aiming to help the economy return to sustainable growth. As part of
this, the Bank is working in partnership with the Northern Ireland Chamber of Commerce on an SME Mentoring
Scheme. Under this scheme the Bank provides four mentors, who are experienced business bankers, to help and guide
SMEs on access to finance for their start-up, growth or exports business.
Personal Customers
During 2011 AIB launched a Family Banking proposition to assist customers in managing their family finances. It is
supported by a number of tools and guides, both online and offline.
In response to customer research highlighting a requirement for greater convenience and improved access to
branch-based banking services, AIB commenced a pilot of extended opening hours in 12 branch locations. AIB also
launched a new Mobile Banking site, www.aib.ie/mobilebanking, tailored specifically to give access to AIB Internet
Banking to smart phone users. The first three months saw over 100,000 customers using the service.
10
Mortgages
2011 saw AIB continue its support to mortgage customers who find themselves in financial difficulty. The Central Bank
of Ireland’s Code of Conduct on Mortgage Arrears which includes the provision of short term forbearance to customers,
where appropriate, was implemented during 2011 with significantly increased numbers of staff working with customers
in this area. A specialised staff training programme was also implemented. In addition, the dedicated mortgage helpline
for customers concerned about mortgage repayments was advertised in the national press, branches and online. AIB also
developed a comprehensive Mortgage Arrears Resolution Strategy (“MARS”) to support the objective of providing long
term mortgage arrears solutions for customers in financial difficulty while maintaining its capital position.
Other
In 2011, AIB provided further loan funding to finance the activities of the Social Finance Foundation. AIB is a
shareholder in the Foundation which was created in 2007. The Foundation continues to be the largest Irish provider of
loan finance at affordable interest rates to community based projects and micro enterprises.
AIB also continued to provide quarterly reports to the Department of Finance and the Central Bank of Ireland on its
customer support obligations under the terms of the Government recapitalisation programme.
People
2011 was another year of significant change for staff in AIB. The sale of various businesses during the year e.g. BZWBK,
Goodbody Stockbrokers, AIB International Financial Services and the divestment of overseas loan portfolios resulted in
significant reductions in staff numbers in AIB. Meanwhile, the integration of EBS and the Anglo Irish Bank deposit
business saw staff moving to AIB.
AIB’s Transformation Programme was initiated in 2011. Rebuilding the organisation was the priority and a new
organisation structure was designed and confirmed in May.
AIB placed a major emphasis on leadership throughout the organisation to prepare for the extensive changes called
for under AIB’s Transformation Programme. There was a strong focus on bringing about positive changes to
organisation culture. Desired ‘AIB Behaviours’ and ‘ways of working’ were introduced. A large number of senior
Management attended Leadership Development courses to help understand, lead and embed the desired behaviours
across the organisation. A significant communications programme was also undertaken as these managers cascaded the
behaviours and ‘ways of working’ to all staff in the organisation via a series of engagement conversations.
Credit Skills training remained the top Learning & Development priority in 2011. The Credit Professionalism
Programme, to ensure that we build and sustain the required level of credit professionalism across the organisation
continued throughout the year. The Programme was implemented through a combination of eLearning, distance
learning and classroom courses. The key areas of focus were financial literacy, cashflow lending, debt restructuring and the
professional requirements of AIB and the financial services industry. Over 1,500 staff are participating in a self study
programme, more than 1,200 staff participated in classroom training and nearly 2,000 have completed a total of 4,237
eLearning modules as part of the credit training curriculum. Other specialised training programmes focused on credit,
restructuring, leadership and customer relationship management were also run in 2011.
In Ireland, 2,834 staff achieved accreditation as required under the Minimum Competency Code (“MCC”) 2011.
The total number of MCC accredited staff in AIB now stands at 7,419. Ongoing continuing professional development is
required by these staff to maintain this accreditation.
In response to AIB’s strong commitment to supporting the SME sector, a modular training programme was also
delivered to Relationship Managers who engage with SME customers, incorporating SME product knowledge, SME
business lending and engagement.
A new ‘Supporting Customers in Difficulty’ training programme, facilitated by external professionals, was also
rolled-out to front-line staff in 2011. During the year, training support was concentrated on staff members fulfilling
front-line customer facing roles in the three prioritised areas of SMEs, Deposits and Mortgages.
Mandatory eLearning courses, under AIB’s Compliance and Ethics training programme, covered topics such as
anti-money laundering, data protection, sanctions and acceptable use of AIB systems.
AIB continues to engage with its employee representatives, in particular the Irish Bank Officials Association
(“IBOA”) on a range of issues. Discussions have focused on the potential impact of the Transformation Programme on
costs and employee numbers. AIB and its employee representatives will be working closely together, primarily through its
partnership arrangements with the IBOA and SIPTU, to facilitate the delivery of the Transformation Programme.

Community
A number of financial education programmes continued during the year. AIB had the highest number of corporate
volunteers to deliver Junior Achievement’s curriculum in schools in Ireland, preparing young people for the world of
work and teaching financial literacy. The AIB Build a Bank Challenge and the ‘Green Dragon’ initiatives continued to
support and promote financial education and entrepreneurial skills development in second level schools. AIB continues
to be a member of the Business in the Community (“BITC”) network and supports the BITC Schools Business
Partnership, a programme which aims to address educational disadvantage in Ireland.
AIB worked with the National Consumer Agency (“NCA”) in the development and delivery of a successful pilot
programme called ‘Money Skills for Life’. This programme involves a one-hour presentation to employees in their
workplace covering topics including managing your money, saving and investing, planning for retirement and dealing
with debt, among others. The programme is available to all workplaces in Ireland, run by the NCA with presenters from
the financial services industry, including volunteers from AIB.
AIB is in its third decade of sponsorship with the Gaelic Athletic Association (“GAA”) and in particular, the AIB All
Ireland Club Championships which focus on club and games development.
AIB continued to offer its corporate hospitality boxes in Croke Park and the Aviva Stadium for use by registered
charities in the Republic of Ireland, to entertain their donors and patrons, during the 2010/2011 GAA and rugby
seasons. More than 90 charities from around the country availed of the opportunity to attend the fixtures during 2011
including the Hospice Foundation, the National Children’s Hospital, St. Vincent de Paul, Make a Wish Foundation and
Enable Ireland.
Allied Irish Bank (GB) has supported the London Irish Rugby Football Club Academy for over ten years in its
community programme. The programme promotes education, social inclusion, teamwork and active lifestyles through the
creation of rugby related programmes. In 2011 it delivered approximately 1,000 hours of coaching across 100 schools
and provided 750 hours of coaching to amateur clubs.
AIB supported its sponsorship of the 2011 Solheim Cup and Ladies Irish Open. A decision was taken to transfer the
branding rights and associated benefits to Failte Ireland. The event was very successful in profiling Ireland abroad and
generated an economic impact value of € 35 million.
AIB continued to support the arts and sponsored the Irish Photojournalism Awards for the ninth year. These annual
awards, which are run in conjunction with the Press Photographers Association of Ireland, recognise, reward and
showcase excellence in press photography The AIB Photojournalism exhibition travelled to AIB branches around the
country giving access to the exhibition to as wide an audience as possible.
During 2011 over 100 key artworks including paintings, sculptures and graphics from the AIB Art Collection were
lent to public galleries and arts centres both at home and abroad for public viewing.
12
Environment
AIB is fully committed to sustainability with a commitment to live up to its responsibilities and continuously seek to
improve effort in this area.
During 2011, the transformation of the enterprise has been paramount for AIB. As a result, building occupancy and
usage has increased with a consequent rise in energy consumption over the period. This is a temporary situation which
will be corrected over the coming few years. This increase in energy consumption also provides AIB with an incentive
to find other ways of reducing consumption and the organisation remains committed to this.
The merger with EBS will increase the carbon footprint of the AIB organisation as a whole. However, the
consolidation of the Head Office, which is currently underway, will more than compensate for this over the coming few
years.
The bin-less office initiative in AIB’s head office in Bankcentre has continued to generate positive results with the
volume of general waste reducing from 21 tons in January 2011 to 9.16 tons in December 2011. Correspondingly, the
percentage of recycling waste has increased from 55% in January to 78% in December 2011.
In 2011, AIB completed a pilot lease-to-own low energy lighting retrofit project in partnership with Siemens
Ireland. The new lighting and control systems employed achieve much greater efficiencies, thereby reducing energy
consumption and lighting costs by up to 78%. The success of this initiative demonstrates one of the ways in which AIB
can achieve reductions in its carbon footprint. AIB will continue to look for opportunities to extend such schemes.
The AIB ‘Add more Green Fund’ e-statement initiative continued to be popular with over 325,000 customers opting
for online rather than paper statements. AIB donates € 2 for every customer who avails of this option and this has
generated over € 1.2 million for the fund. This fund is used to support environmental projects both in Ireland and
abroad.

Financial review -1. Business description
1.1 History
AIB, originally named Allied Irish Banks Limited, was incorporated in Ireland in September 1966 as a result of the amalgamation of
three long established banks: the Munster and Leinster Bank Limited (established 1885), the Provincial Bank of Ireland Limited
(established 1825) and the Royal Bank of Ireland Limited (established 1836).
In December 1983, AIB acquired 43 per cent. of the outstanding shares of First Maryland Bankcorp (“FMB”). In 1989, AIB
completed the acquisition of 100 per cent. of the outstanding shares of common stock of FMB. During the 1990s, there were a
number of ‘bolt-on’ acquisitions, the most notable being Dauphin Deposit Bank and Trust Company, a Pennsylvania chartered
commercial bank which was acquired in 1997. Subsequently, all banking operations were merged into Allfirst Bank. In 2003, Allfirst
was integrated with M&T Bank Corporation (“M&T”). Under the terms of the agreement AIB received 26.7 million shares in M&T,
representing a stake of approximately 22.5 per cent. in the enlarged M&T, together with US$ 886.1 million cash, of which
US$ 865 million was received by way of a pre-sale dividend from Allfirst Bank.
AIB entered the Polish market in 1995, when it acquired a non-controlling interest in Wielkopolski Bank Kredytowy S.A.
(“WBK”). In September 1999, it completed the acquisition of an 80 per cent. shareholding in Bank Zachodni S.A. (‘Bank Zachodni’)
from the State Treasury. In June 2001, WBK merged with Bank Zachodni to form BZWBK, following which the Group held a
70.5 per cent. interest in the newly-merged entity. The Group’s interest in BZWBK decreased to approximately 70.36 per cent. when
BZWBK’s share capital was increased in 2009.
In October 1996, AIB's retail operations in the United Kingdom were integrated and the enlarged entity was renamed
AIB Group (UK) p.l.c. with two distinct trading names, First Trust Bank in Northern Ireland and Allied Irish Bank (GB) in Great
Britain.
In January 2006, Aviva Life & Pensions Ireland Limited and AIB’s life assurance subsidiary, Ark Life, were brought together under a
holding company Aviva Life Holdings Ireland Limited (“ALH”), formerly Hibernian Life Holdings Limited. This resulted in AIB
owning an interest of 24.99% in ALH. Following this, AIB entered into an exclusive agreement to distribute the life and pensions
products of the venture.
1.2 Developments in Recent Years
A key element of AIB’s pre-crisis market positioning was its involvement in the Irish property sector, which was the fastest growing
segment of the Irish economy. From the late 1990s to 2006, the mortgage market in Ireland expanded rapidly as housing prices
soared, driven in part by economic and wage growth and a low interest rate environment.
The global financial system began to experience difficulties in mid-2007. This resulted in severe dislocation of international
financial markets around the world, unprecedented levels of illiquidity in the global capital markets and significant declines in the
values of nearly all asset classes. Governments throughout the world took action to support their financial systems and banks, given the
critical role which properly functioning financial systems and banks play in economies.
Global financial market conditions triggered a substantial deterioration in domestic economic conditions and property values. In
2008, as the Irish economy started to decline and as interest rates continued to increase, housing oversupply persisted and mortgage
delinquencies increased. Declining residential and commercial property prices also led to a significant slowdown in the construction
sector in Ireland. As a result, loan impairments in the Irish construction and property and residential mortgage sectors, to which AIB
was heavily exposed, increased substantially. These dynamics began to present funding and liquidity issues for AIB as well as a rapid
deterioration in the Group’s capital base.
The Irish Government recognised the pressing need to stabilise Irish financial institutions and to create greater certainty for all
stakeholders. A number of measures were implemented by the Irish Government in response to the continuing crisis.These measures
were taken to enhance the availability of liquidity and improve access to funding for AIB and other systemically important financial
institutions in Ireland. The first action was the establishment of the Credit Institutions (Financial Support) (“CIFS”) Scheme on
30 September 2008, by which the Minister for Finance guaranteed certain liabilities of covered institutions, including AIB, until
29 September 2010. This was followed by the € 3.5 billion subscription by the National Pension Reserve Fund Commission
(“NPRFC”) on 13 May 2009 for the 2009 Preference Shares and 2009 Warrants. Subsequently, the Minister for Finance established
the Credit Institutions (Eligible Liabilites Guarantee) (“ELG”) Scheme in December 2009 which facilitates participating institutions
issuing debt securities and taking deposits during an issuance window until 30 June 2011 and with a maximum maturity of 5 years.
AIB joined the ELG Scheme on 21 January 2010 and the ELG Scheme has since been extended to 31 December 2012 (this
extension is subject to EU State Aid approval which has been received but which is due to expire on 30 June 2012, and will require
an extension from that stage). In December 2009 the Irish Government established the National Asset Management Agency
(“NAMA”) which has acquired certain performing and non-performing land and development and associated loans from participating
15
Financial review -1. Business description
banks, freeing up banks’ balance sheets and facilitating the easier flow of credit throughout the Irish economy. AIB has transferred
approximately € 20 billion of assets to NAMA.
The original Prudential Capital Assessment Review (“PCAR”) announced by the Central Bank of Ireland (‘the Central Bank’)
on 30 March 2010 imposed a requirement for AIB, among other credit institutions, to strengthen and increase its capital base to help
restore confidence in the Irish banking sector. The PCAR assessed the capital requirement of AIB and other Irish credit institutions in
the context of expected losses and other financial developments, under both base and stress-case scenarios, over the period from 2010
to 2012.
Following the results of the original PCAR exercise, AIB disposed of its stake in M&T on 4 November 2010, a transaction which
generated core tier 1 capital of € 0.9 billion. AIB announced, on 10 September 2010, the sale of its Polish interests to Banco
Santander S.A. for a total cash consideration of € 3.1 billion. This transaction completed on 1 April 2011 and AIB generated core tier
1 capital of approximately € 2.3 billion as a result of the disposal. AIB also disposed of Goodbody Holdings Limited; AIB International
Financial Services Limited; AIB Jerseytrust Limited; and its 49.99% shareholding in Bulgarian-American Credit Bank; and announced
the disposal of AIB Asset Management Holdings (Ireland) Limited, including AIB Investment Managers.
AIB’s capital position did not meet minimum 2010 year-end target requirements. As a result, on the Minister’s application, the
High Court issued, on 23 December 2010, a direction order under the Credit Institutions (Stabilisation) Act 2010 with the consent of
AIB, directing AIB to issue € 3.8 billion of new equity capital to the NPRFC. This also resulted in the delisting of AIB’s ordinary
shares from both the Main Securities Market of the Irish Stock Exchange and from the Official List maintained by the UK Financial
Services Authority. AIB’s ordinary shares were subsequently admitted, in January 2011, to the Enterprise Securities Market of the Irish
Stock Exchange. Furthermore, AIB announced in August 2011 that its American Depository Shares (“ADSs”) have now been deemed
to be delisted and have ceased to be traded on the New York Stock Exchange.
On 24 February 2011, AIB acquired deposits of € 7 billion and NAMA senior bonds with a nominal value of € 12 billion from
Anglo Irish Bank, pursuant to a transfer order issued by the High Court under the Credit Institutions (Stabilisation) Act 2010. AIB
also acquired Anglo Irish Bank Corporation (International) PLC in the Isle of Man, including customer deposits of almost
€ 1.6 billion.
On 1 July 2011, as part of the restructuring of the Irish banking system, AIB completed the acquisition of EBS for a nominal cash
payment of € 1.00. EBS had € 19.2 billion of total assets, approximately € 16.0 billion of customer loans and € 10.1 billion of
customer deposits at this date. This transaction represents a significant consolidation within the Irish banking sector, resulting in the
formation of one of two pillar banks in Ireland.
On 31 March 2011, the Central Bank published its ‘Financial Measures Programme Report’, which detailed the outcome of
PCAR 2011 and Prudential Liquidity Assessment Review (“PLAR”) 2011 for certain Irish credit institutions, including AIB and EBS.
On this date, the Central Bank stated that it had set a new capital target for AIB and EBS, ultimately requiring AIB and EBS to
generate a total of € 14.8 billion of additional capital. This additional capital requirement was satisfied through AIB’s placing of
€ 5.0 billion of new ordinary shares with the NPRFC, capital contributions totalling € 6.1 billion from the Minister for Finance and
the NPRFC, the issue of € 1.6 billion of contingent capital notes at par to the Minister (which completed on 27 July 2011), and
further burden-sharing measures undertaken with the Group’s subordinated debt-holders. Following these actions, the State, through
the NPRFC, now owns 99.8% of the ordinary shares of AIB.
1.3 Strategy
AIB is a universal full-service domestic Irish pillar bank. As a leading retail, commercial and corporate bank AIB’s primary activities
are focused on the island of Ireland with an extensive distribution network through which a wide range of banking products and
services are offered. AIB has a limited but focused overseas presence including a niche retail and corporate banking operation in Great
Britain.
As stewards of shareholder value, AIB’s strategic priorities are focused on the development and growth of its newly restructured
core customer-focused franchise, supporting the Irish economy on its path to recovery, and on seeking to generate a risk-adjusted
return for the Irish State from its investment in the Group.
The Group is undergoing significant restructuring and the implementation of a new operating model is underway. This new
model is transforming the Group into a smaller, less complex organisation. As part of this process, the legacy divisional structure has
been replaced by an integrated bank comprising the following customer-facing units: i) Personal & Business Banking, which covers
retail and small business banking operations in the Republic of Ireland and includes asset finance, wealth management and credit card
services; ii) Corporate, Institutional and Commercial Banking, which provides a fully integrated, relationship-based banking service to
commercial and corporate enterprises, both domestic and international; iii) AIB UK, which serves the retail, commercial and corporate
banking customers of both First Trust Bank and AIB GB; and iv) EBS, an Irish retail banking operation, which is managed as a
16
separate brand and organisation within the AIB structure.
A streamlining and a centralisation of control and support functions is also underway. In particular, AIB is strengthening its internal
controls, its governance structures and its approach to risk management.
The restructuring of the Group continues to evolve through the progressive disposal and winding down of non-core assets. Loans
to Irish retail, commercial, and corporate customers are broadly considered central to both AIB’s competitive position and to its desire
to support and develop the domestic economy, and these loans are therefore considered ‘core assets’. The bulk of the remaining loans
are deemed ‘non-core’ and AIB is in the process of deleveraging these non-core assets. To manage the deleveraging process, AIB has
established a Non-Core unit to oversee the disposal and run-off of selected non-core assets.
The realisation of AIB’s strategic objectives envisages that AIB will become a profitable, viable financial institution over the
2012-2014 period. In line with its improved customer focus, AIB’s product ranges will be simplified and repositioned to provide value
at an acceptable return. Through deleveraging, organisational changes and a redefined customer focus AIB is developing a strong
foundation from which a profitable viable business can emerge and grow.
AIB continues to operate within a challenging domestic and international economic environment. The recovery of the Irish
economy, and financial stability in the Eurozone/the European economy, are critical in the context of demand for credit, maintaining
credit quality, and access to wholesale funding markets.
EU Restructuring Plan
The financial support provided to AIB by the Irish Government, including the support as part of the July 2011 recapitalisation, is
subject to review and approval by the European Commission under EU state aid rules. The Bank’s original restructuring plan was
submitted to the European Commission in November 2009. Following the capital injection from the Irish Government in December
2010, and the recapitalisation of the Bank by the Irish Government in July 2011, an updated restructuring plan was submitted to the
European Commission in July 2011. AIB expects European Commission approval of its restructuring plan in 2012.
The European Commission may require AIB to undertake structural and behavioural measures, including measures to support the
development of competition in the Irish market.

Financial review -1. Business description
1.4 The businesses of AIB Group
The business of AIB Group is now conducted through four major operating market segments namely: Personal and Business Banking
(“PBB”), Corporate Institutional and Commercial Banking (“CICB”), EBS and AIB UK which are described below.
Personal and Business Banking
AIB’s Personal and Business Banking (“PBB”) segment was created in 2011 to service the personal and small business customers of
AIB, in addition to including the wealth management and credit card services. PBB commands a strong presence in all key sectors
including SMEs, mortgages and personal banking. It provides customers with choice and convenience through:
-
-
-
A range of delivery channels consisting of 267 branches and outlets, 780 ATMs and AIB Phone and Internet Banking
as well as an alliance with An Post which provides AIB customers with banking services at over 1,000 post offices
nationwide;
A wide range of banking products and services; and
A choice of payment methods including cheques, debit and credit cards, self service and automated domestic and
international payments.
AIB is the principal banker to many leading public and private companies and government bodies, and plays an important role in
the Irish economy. AIB is a founding member of the Irish Payments Services Organisation and is a member of the Irish Clearing
Systems for paper, electronic and real-time gross settlement. The main distribution channel for PPB is an extensive branch network
structured around meeting personal and business banking needs.
Complementing the AIB branch channel is the AIB Direct Channels operation (leading Irish online banking service), offering self
service capability through telephone, internet, mobile, ATM, self service kiosks and automated payments.
The Wealth Management unit delivers wealth propositions to AIB customers, tailored to the needs of specific customer segments.
AIB Card Services provides credit and debit card products to all AIB customers, supporting their payment and consumer credit
requirements. The products are delivered across all channels. AIB has a joint venture with First Data International, trading as AIB
Merchant Services, which provides access for merchant and partners in the merchant acquiring business.
Corporate Institutional and Commercial Banking
Corporate Institutional and Commercial Banking (“CICB”), was created in 2011 to service large and medium-sized enterprises in the
Republic of Ireland, United Kingdom and the United States in addition to Treasury Services, Corporate Finance and Asset Finance.
CICB supports the business customer through Corporate & Institutional banking (“C&I”) and Commercial Banking.
C&I provides a fully integrated relationship-based banking service to top-tier companies, both domestic and international, including
financial institutions, Irish commercial state companies and large multinationals. C&I’s activities also include participating in,
developing and arranging acquisition, project and property finance primarily in Ireland.
Commercial Banking provides a fully integrated relationship banking service to medium sized enterprises in Ireland. Commercial
Banking operates out of 14 commercial centres across the republic and has a strong presence in all key SME sectors.
AIB Finance and Leasing and AIB Commercial Services are the asset finance arm of AIB. Services include leasing, hire purchase
and invoice discounting delivered via the branch network, direct sales force, broker intermediaries, relationship managers or the
internet.
Customer Treasury Services provides a wide range of treasury, risk management, payments and import and export related financial
services to corporate, commercial and retail customers of the group.
EBS
On 31 March 2011, the Minister for Finance announced that AIB was to acquire EBS Building Society following its demutualisation.
On 1 July 2011, EBS Building Society converted into EBS Limited (“EBS”) and AIB completed the transaction on that date. While
the two institutions together form one of the two pillar banks in Ireland, EBS operates as a standalone, separately branded subsidiary
of AIB with its own banking licence.
EBS operates in the Republic of Ireland and has a countrywide network of 14 owned branches, 76 agency branches and a direct
telephone based distribution division (EBS Direct). EBS’s network gives it a physical presence in communities across Ireland and this
is important in allowing it to provide a high quality service to its customers. EBS offers residential mortgages and savings products,
bancassurance, personal banking and general insurance products on an agency basis. In the residential market, as at 31 December
2011, EBS had approximately 11% share of outstanding mortgage loans and approximately 8% of retail savings.
18
AIB UK
The AIB UK market segment operates in two distinct markets, Great Britain and Northern Ireland, with different economies and
operating environments. The market segment’s activities are carried out primarily through AIB Group (UK) p.l.c, a bank registered in
the UK and regulated by the Financial Services Authority (“FSA”).
Great Britain
In this market, the segment operates under the trading name Allied Irish Bank (GB) from 28 full service branches. The head office is

Allied Irish Bank (GB) is positioned as a specialist business bank, providing a relationship focused alternative to UK high street
banks. The bank offers a full range of banking services, including daily banking, deposits solutions, corporate banking and
international management and personal banking offerings, delivered through the traditional branch network and online banking
systems. Allied Irish Bank (GB)’s relationship approach has been validated externally on a number of occasions over the past decade by
Business Superbrands and the Forum of Private Business and the bank’s commitment to staff development has consistently achieved
the recognition of the Investors in People (“IiP”) standard since 1995.
On 24 February 2011, customer deposits previously held by Anglo Irish Bank in the UK were transferred to Allied Irish Bank
(GB) which now provides a direct deposits service to circa 60,000 mass market personal customers in Great Britain through its new
Allied Irish Bank (GB) Savings Direct brand. This additional customer segment offers significant growth potential in the mass market
retail deposits sector.
Northern Ireland
In this market, the segment operates under the trading name First Trust Bank from 47 branches and outlets in Northern Ireland. The
First Trust Bank head office is located in Belfast, together with the segmental processing centre.
A full service, including internet and telephone banking is offered to business and personal customers across the range of customer
segments, including professionals and high net worth individuals, small and medium enterprises, as well as the public and corporate
sectors.
Specialist services, including mortgages, credit cards, invoice discounting and asset finance are based in Belfast and delivered
throughout the market segment.

1.6 Competition
Republic of Ireland Competition in banking in the Republic of Ireland has undergone a significant transformation in light of the
economic crisis with a resultant change in both operating models and behaviours. The economic crisis and resultant banking crisis has
lead to both Government and European intervention through Government sponsored bank guarantee schemes, the recapitalisation of
many banks operating in Ireland (both domestic and foreign), the nationalisation of or provision of substantial Government financial
support across the majority of domestic institutions as well as transfer of property related assets to the National Asset Management
Agency.
The focus of competitive activity in retail banking continues to be to provide enhanced credit support to existing customers, in
particular SMEs, mortgages to support stimulation of economic turnaround, provision of support for customers in difficulty, as well as
retention and gathering of deposits. Deposits pricing continues to be extremely competitive. Domestic demand continued to fall in
2011 resulting in limited demand for banking products and services in both the personal and business markets. In the personal market
consumers continue to pay down debt and save more, reflected in a reduction in national personal credit levels and an increase in
national personal savings ratio. Activity in mortgages continues to be limited.
The economic downturn has resulted in both domestic and foreign institutions realigning their business models in response to the
reduced demand. Most foreign owned institutions have either withdrawn completely, are in the process of withdrawing and are no
longer providing credit or are scaling back substantially.
UK Competition in the UK banking market has been changed dramatically by the global economic crisis, and specific issues with
Ireland and Irish banks have had an adverse impact on Irish banks operating in the UK market.
While public concern in the UK regarding the stability of the Irish banking system continued in 2011, there was also increased
focus on Europe and whether the euro would survive.
Ireland’s state authorities prolonged the Eligible Liabilities Guarantee Scheme, which was put in place to safeguard all deposits
with Ireland’s guaranteed banks (including their UK operations). During 2011, the positive impact of this guarantee was evident as the
level of withdrawals from Irish banks operating in the UK market was less evident than in 2010.
The focus of activity in a very competitive UK retail deposit market continued to be on maintaining close customer relationships
so as to retain existing and attract new deposits.
On the credit side, demand for new lending continued to be subdued due to the economic climate, though small businesses
reported that bank finance was difficult to obtain. The rate of growth was similar to that for 2010. Demand for secured lending by
households increased, with demand for buy-to-let lending picking up significantly. Demand for unsecured lending was broadly
unchanged on 2010 figures.
United States
Since the disposal of M&T Bank Corporation in November 2010, AIB’s presence in the United States has been
substantially reduced and is focused on a specific range of banking activity.

1.7 Economic conditions affecting the Group
AIB’s activities in Ireland accounted for the majority of the Group’s business in 2011. As a result, the performance of the Irish
economy is extremely important to the Group. The Group also continued to operate businesses during 2011 in the United Kingdom,
which means that it is also influenced directly by political, economic and financial developments there. However, as Ireland has a very
open economy, its performance is very dependent on global economic and financial developments, particularly among advanced
economies, as well as domestic factors.
Global Economy
Since August 2007, global financial markets have experienced significant volatility and turmoil which have caused a breakdown of
wholesale banking markets, large write-downs among financial institutions, a major change in the banking landscape and a credit crisis
that has extended into some sovereign debt markets. The impact of the financial crisis has been very damaging. According to the
International Monetary Fund (“IMF”), world GDP fell by 0.7% in 2009, with the advanced economies suffering a decline in real
GDP of 3.7%.
The world economy has recovered since around the middle of 2009, but at a moderate pace. World GDP bounced back in 2010
with growth of 5.2% but the rate of expansion slowed in 2011 to 3.8% and is forecast by the International Monetary Fund in its
World Economic Outlook Update (24 January 2012) to expand by 3.3% in 2012. However, global GDP growth is expected to
increase to 3.9% in 2013. This compares to average GDP growth of 5% in the period 2004-2007. (Source: IMF World Economic
Outlook, Sept 2011, Table A1)
The recovery has been particularly sluggish and uneven in advanced economies, where GDP growth accelerated to 3.2% in 2010
but slowed to 1.6% in 2011. According to the IMF, (24 January 2012 Update) growth in advanced economies will slow further to
1.2% in 2012 before recovering to 1.9% in 2013.
The United States, the United Kingdom and the Eurozone are Ireland’s three most important trading partners. A moderate
recovery in activity has been underway in all three economies since around the middle of 2009. However, all three economies lost
momentum over the course of 2011, with the UK and Eurozone at risk of falling back into mild recession in 2012.
US GDP grew by 3% in 2010 and by 1.7% in 2011, with the IMF forecasting growth of 1.8% for 2012 and 2.2% for 2013. GDP
growth in the United Kingdom was 2.1% in 2010 but slowed to 0.8% in 2011. The IMF expects UK real GDP to expand by just
0.6% in 2012 but rise to 2% in 2013. Meanwhile, in the Eurozone, GDP growth was 1.8% in 2010 and is estimated at 1.4% last year
with the IMF predicting a fall of 0.5% in GDP in 2012. (Source: IMF World Economic Outlook Update, 24 January 2012). The IMF
is forecasting a modest recovery in eurozone growth of 0.8% in 2013.
Irish Economy
According to Ireland’s Central Statistics Office’s (“CSO”) National Income and Expenditure (“NIE”) 2010 publication, real GDP in
Ireland fell by 0.4% in 2010 following declines of 7% in 2009 and 3% in 2008. The severity of the 2008-10 Irish recession was
primarily due to the particularly sharp decline in construction activity, especially residential property investment. Based on CSO NIE
estimates, construction investment fell by over half in the three year period 2008-2010, declining from 14% to 7% of GDP. Within
this, the fall in new housing output depressed GDP by some 5.5% in the period 2008-2010.
National accounts data published by the CSO for the full year 2011 show that GDP rose by 0.7% even though declining
construction activity remained a drag on growth. This was the first annual average increase in real GDP since 2007. (Source: CSO
Quarterly National Accounts Release March 2012). Consumer and government spending continued to decline in 2011. Exports,
though, continued to grow last year, rising by an estimated 4%, following an increase of 6% in 2010.
Due to the very large role played by exports of foreign-owned multinationals in the Irish economy, there is a significant amount
of annual profit repatriations which often results in differences in the annual growth in GDP and GNP, since the profits of
multinationals are not included in GNP. The latter was smaller in absolute terms in 2011, by the equivalent of 21% of nominal GDP.
(Source: CSO Quarterly National Accounts Release March 2012).
According to the CSO’s NIE publication, real GNP actually rose by 0.3% in 2010 compared to a 0.4% fall in real GDP. In 2011,
however, real GNP fell by 2.5% compared with the rise in real GDP of 0.7%.
The depressed domestic demand conditions, but recovery in exports, have led to a marked turnaround in the balance of payments.
According to CSO data, Ireland recorded a balance of payments surplus on the current account of € 761 million in 2010, the first
surplus since 1999. This compares with current account deficits of over € 10 billion in 2007 and 2008 and € 4.7 billion in 2009. CSO
data for 2011 show a smaller surplus of € 127 million. (Source: CSO Balance of Payments Release March 2012).
Credit growth remained weak in Ireland in 2011. Loans to households were down 3.8% year-on-year at end 2011, while lending
for house purchase fell by 2.5% on the same basis. (Source: Central Bank of Ireland, Money and Banking Statistics December 2011)
22
House prices were down by 16.7% year-on-year at end 2011 according to the CSO house price index, as the housing market
remained very weak.
Not surprisingly, given the deep recession, labour market conditions have weakened significantly in Ireland since 2007.
Employment fell by 1.1% in 2008 and 8.2% in 2009 according to CSO data, and fell by a further 4.2% in 2010. Employment fell a
further 2.1% in 2011.While the labour force also contracted, CSO data shows that the unemployment rate rose to 14.6% by the
second half of 2011. (Source: CSO Quarterly National Household Survey Q4 2011)
Ireland retains many of the fundamental factors that supported strong rates of economic growth in the past two decades (such as a
young, highly educated labour force, a relatively competitive corporate tax regime, labour market flexibility, access to European and
global markets and continued inward FDI). These factors, as well as gains in competitiveness, will be crucial in restoring the economy
to a solid growth path over the next number of years. Another modest rise in GDP is expected in 2012, helped by a continuing strong
performance from exports, with growth picking up thereafter.
Much progress is being made in terms of improving competitiveness. According to the CSO data, the average rate of inflation in
2010, as measured by the CPI, was -1.0% following the rate of -4.5% recorded in 2009. The annual rate of inflation as measured by
the HICP, which excludes mortgages, was -1.6% in 2010 and -1.7% in 2009. In 2011, the Irish HICP rate averaged 1.1%, the only
eurozone country that had a sub 2% rate last year. (Source: Eurostat: CPI Report 17 Jan 2012)
Weak economic activity, a strong exchange rate against Sterling and the US dollar, increased competitive pressures and declining
wages have all contributed to much lower inflation in Ireland than its main export markets in recent years. Furthermore, the European
Commission estimates that unit wage costs will decline by close to 14% in Ireland in the period 2009-2013, while it forecasts that
they will rise by 6.7% and almost 15% over the same timeframe in the eurozone and UK, respectively. (Source: EC European
Economic Forecast - Autumn 2011)
The European Central Bank, which regulates monetary policy for the Euro area as a whole, cut the official refinancing rate to 1%
in May 2009 from a peak of 4.25% in July 2008. It then raised rates by 25bps points in both April and July 2011 in response to rising
inflationary pressures. However, it reversed these two rates hikes in the final two months of 2011, bringing the refi rate back down to
1%.
The Irish public finances deteriorated sharply during the recession, moving into large deficit due to the very sharp fall in tax
revenues largely associated with the downturn in the Irish housing market. The budget in 2010 stabilised the underlying deficit at
11.5% of GDP and in 2011 the deficit fell to some 10% of GDP, with the budget deficit target set at 8.6% of GDP for 2012. Further
corrective actions will be necessary and the government has committed to reducing the deficit to below 3% of GDP by 2015.
(Source: Dept of Finance, Budget 2012)
The Irish General Government debt/GDP ratio fell steadily from over 95% in 1991 to 25% by 2007 (Source: Ireland Information
Memorandum published by the NTMA in March 2008). However, as a result of higher budget deficits and falling levels of GDP,
Ireland’s General Government debt/GDP ratio is estimated by the Dept of Finance (Budget 2012) to have climbed to 107% of GDP
at end 2011, up from 93% in 2010 and 65% in 2009. Bank recapitalisation costs boosted government debt levels greatly in 2010-2011;
in particular, the treatment of promissory notes which Eurostat ruled had all to be added to the debt figures in 2010.
Yields on Irish government bonds rose sharply to prohibitive levels in the closing months of 2010 - there was a sharp rise in yields
on bonds in other peripheral eurozone countries as well. The Irish banking system also became highly dependent on ECB funding.
This triggered concerns within the EU about the financing needs of the Irish economy and led to the provision of an EU/IMF loan
package for Ireland amounting to €85 billion over three years. However, €17.5 billion of this is from Irish resources. The package
secured Ireland’s sovereign funding requirements until end 2013, including the recapitalisation costs of Irish banks arising for the State
over the programme period.
It was initially estimated that the interest rate on the loans from the IMF/EU would average out at about 5.8%. However, the
interest rate on the EU portion of the funds was reduced to around 3% in mid-2011, bringing down the average interest rate cost on
funds drawn down under the programme in 2011 to 3.7%. (Source NTMA website).
There has been a marked improvement in market sentiment towards Ireland since the middle of 2011, with a consequent sharp
drop in yields on Irish government bonds. This has been driven by the improved performance of the economy last year, the
recapitalisation of Irish banks, reduced interest rate costs on the EU/IMF loans and the fact that the public finance targets were met
again last year. Yields on the 4.6% 2016 bond, which had peaked at close to 20% in July 2011, had fallen to under 6% by the opening
quarter of 2012. Meanwhile, the yield on the 5% 2020 bond fell from 14% to 7% over the same period. (Source: Thomson
Datastream) Notwithstanding these developments, Ireland’s long-term sovereign credit ratings remain low, standing at BBB+ from
S&P and Fitch, and Ba1 by Moody’s at February 2012.

31 December 2008 reflects a net interest income figure that was adjusted to reflect a 365 day year for comparative purposes. The net interest margin
is presented on a continuing basis for 2011, 2010 and 2009 and presented on a total Group basis for 2008 and 2007.
(10)The minimum regulatory capital requirements set by the Central Bank, which reflect the requirements of the Capital Requirements Directive
(“CRD”), establish a floor of 4% under which the core tier 1 capital ratio must not fall (8% for total capital ratio). These ratios were the capital
adequacy requirements effective as at 31 December 2010. Following the Prudential Capital Assessment Review (“PCAR”) in March 2011, the
Central Bank announced a new minimum capital target for AIB of 10.5% core tier 1 in a base scenario and 6% core tier 1 in a stressed scenario.
These target ratios form the basis of the Group’s capital management policy and are capital adequacy requirements effective as at 31 December 2011.

Financial review - 3. Management report
Basis of presentation
In May 2011, AIB outlined the bank’s new operating model and announced a number of appointments to its new top executive
leadership team. The former divisional structure was replaced by an integrated bank comprising the following core banking segments;
Personal & Business Banking (PBB); Corporate, Institutional & Commercial Banking (CICB);AIB UK and EBS (formerly EBS
Building Society, which was acquired on 1 July 2011). In addition to the core banking segments, a Non-Core unit was set up to
manage deleveraging and to oversee the disposal and run-off of selected assets. This re-organisation of AIB’s activities was part of the
restructuring plan of the business in 2011.
Control and support functions were also subject to review and are in the process of being further integrated and centralised.
The commentary in this management report is on a continuing operations basis unless otherwise stated and excludes the following
exceptional elements; the loss on disposal of loans as part of deleveraging measures; gains on liability management exercises; NAMA
related transfer losses and interest rate hedge volatility.
Discontinued operations was in respect of the disposal of Bank Zachodni WBK S.A. (BZWBK), M&T and BACB. A commentary
on discontinued operations is included on page 33.
Overview of results
The Group recorded a loss from continuing operations before exceptionals of € 8.1 billion in 2011 compared to € 5.4 billion in 2010.
The deterioration in performance reflected continuing high provision levels, lower interest income on reducing balance sheet volumes
and elevated funding costs. Provisions for impairment of loans and receivables increased from € 6.0 billion in 2010 to € 7.9 billion in
2011 reflecting the continued weak economic environment and a higher charge for residential mortgages.
The Group recorded operating profit excluding exceptional items and before provisions of € 68 million in 2011 compared to
€ 658 million in 2010. Net interest income reduced by 27% compared to 2010. This reduction reflected increased ELG costs, the high
cost of customer deposits, lower loan balances following deleveraging during the year and higher volumes of impaired loans.
Other income was lower as fee and commission income reduced in 2011 as subdued demand, lower business volumes and weak
economic conditions impacted. Total costs increased € 71 million compared to 2010. This increase mainly related to external
engagement in relation to capital raising, transformation, deleveraging and credit management.
Notwithstanding the loss recorded in 2011, having been recapitalised during the year and having undertaken other capital raising
measures, AIB has core tier 1 capital significantly in excess of minimum target levels as set out in the Financial Measures Programme.

2011 v 2010
Net interest income was € 1,350 million in 2011 compared with € 1,844 million in 2010, a decrease of € 494 million or 27%.
Excluding EBS net interest income of € 86 million in the second half of 2011, net interest income decreased by € 580 million or 31%.
Net interest income for 2011 and 2010 included charges for the ELG scheme of € 488 million and € 306(1) million respectively
excluding which net interest income reduced by € 312 million or 15%. The ELG scheme replaced the CIFS scheme in January 2010,
the cost of which was recorded in other income.
The decrease in net interest income excluding the ELG cost mainly reflected margin compression arising from the higher cost of
deposits, reduced interest-earning loan volumes due to higher impairments, sales of non-core assets and net repayments within the core
loan portfolio.
Excluding the cost of the ELG scheme, the net interest margin for 2011 was 1.40% compared with 1.52% in 2010. The estimated(2)
factors contributing to the decline in the margin of 12 basis points were: -10bp due to lower loan margin income, -4bp due to an
increase in the cost of customer deposits and -7bp due to lower treasury /other net interest income. This was partly offset by +6bp due
to lower cost of wholesale funding following recapitalisation and +3bp due to higher income on capital and the benefit following the
liability management exercises.
2010 v 2009
Net interest income was € 1,844 million in 2010 compared with € 2,872 million in 2009, a decrease of € 1,028 million or 36%.
Net interest income for 2010 included a charge for the ELG Scheme of € 306 million(1) excluding which net interest income
reduced by € 722 million or 25%.
The net interest income decrease excluding the ELG cost mainly reflected the significantly increased cost of customer deposits,
higher wholesale funding costs and lower income on capital. There was also lower income from loans reflecting the transfer of loans to
NAMA and lower earning loan balances partly offset by higher loan margins on new lending.
The net interest margin in 2010 excluding ELG reduced by 32 basis points to 1.52%. The estimated(2) factors contributing to the
reduction were: -20 basis points due to lower deposit income, -19 basis points due to lower capital income, -14 basis points due to
higher wholesale funding costs partly offset by +10 basis points due to improved lending margins and +11 basis points impact from
treasury/other net interest income.
(1) The total government guarantee charge was € 357 million in 2010 including Credit Institutions (Financial Support) scheme (“CIFS”) charge of
€ 51 million which is included in other income and € 306 million ELG charge in net interest income.

2011 v 2010
Other income before exceptionals was € 438 million in 2011 (of which EBS contributed € 5 million), compared with € 463 million in
2010. This represents a decrease of € 25 million or 5%, or € 76 million (15%) excluding the cost of the Irish Government guarantee
scheme expense (CIFS) of € 51 million in 2010. The weaker economic conditions, challenging trading markets in which AIB operates
and the disposal of businesses resulted in lower business volumes and lower revenues.
Banking fees and commissions decreased by 15% reflecting lower business volumes and activity.
Investment banking and asset management fees were down 41% in 2011 mainly reflecting lower income following the sale of
Goodbody Stockbrokers in December 2010.
Fee and commission expense in 2010 included the cost of the CIFS scheme of € 51 million.
Trading loss was € 74 million in 2011 compared to a loss of € 188 million in 2010. Trading loss excludes interest payable and
receivable arising from hedging and the funding of trading activities, these are included in interest income. As a result the trend in
trading loss within other income cannot be considered in isolation. On a total income basis (net interest income and other income),
income from trading activities was lower in 2011. The reduction in the trading loss in other income compared to 2010 mainly related
to higher trading foreign exchange income and higher income from interest rate swaps partly offset by losses on credit derivative
contracts.
Other operating income in 2011 was € 67 million compared with € 153 million in 2010, a reduction of € 86 million. In 2011
there was € 61 million from litigation settlements, € 40 million in foreign exchange gains and € 8 million income from the disposal of
available for sale equity shares, partially offset by a loss of € 36 million from the disposal of available for sale debt securities which
primarily related to bonds in peripheral Eurozone countries. In 2010 there was € 75 million profit from the disposal of available for
sale debt securities, € 13 million profit from the disposal of available for sale equity shares and € 8 million in foreign exchange gains.
Exceptional items include € 364 million loss on transfer of financial assets to NAMA, € 322 million loss on disposal of loans as part
of the ongoing deleveraging to reduce AIB’s loans in line with restructuring plan targets and € 3,277 million gain on redemption of
subordinated debt and other capital instruments, for further details see notes 7 and 8.
(1)Trading loss includes foreign exchange contracts, debt securities and interest rate contracts, credit derivative contracts, equity securities and index
contracts.

Financial review - 3. Management report
2010 v 2009
Other income before exceptionals was € 463 million in 2010 compared with € 639 million in 2009, a decrease of € 176 million or
28%.
This decrease reflected weaker economic conditions, challenging trading markets in which AIB operates, lower business volumes
and lower revenues from investment banking activities. The decline of these other income elements was partly offset by lower deposit
guarantee costs for the CIFS Scheme booked through other income.
Banking fees and commissions decreased by 8% reflecting lower business volumes and activity.
Investment banking and asset management fees were down 10% in 2010 mainly reflecting lower brokerage income in the Republic
of Ireland.
Fee and commission expense includes the cost of the CIFS Scheme of € 51 million in 2010 and € 147 million in 2009. The cost of
the ELG Scheme of € 306 million in 2010 is included in net interest income.
Trading losses were € 188 million in 2010 compared to € 12 million in 2009. Trading loss excludes interest payable and receivable
arising from hedging and the funding of trading activities, which are included in interest income. During 2010 there was an increase in
the trading loss recorded in other income with a related increase in net interest income. On a total income basis (net interest income
and other income), income from trading activities was broadly in line with 2009.
Other operating income in 2010 was € 153 million compared with € 195 million in 2009. Other operating income in 2010
included € 75 million from the disposal of available for sale debt securities compared with € 167 million in 2009, a reduction of
€ 92 million. Partly offsetting this reduction was an increase in foreign exchange gains of € 21 million.
Exceptional items include € 5,969 million loss on transfer of assets to NAMA, € 54 million loss on disposal of loans and
€ 372 million gain on redemption of subordinated debt and other capital instruments (see notes 7 and 8 for further details).

Total operating expenses were € 1,720 million in 2011, an increase of € 71 million or 4% compared to € 1,649 million in 2010. EBS
operating costs (of € 42 million) are included from 1 July 2011, excluding which costs increased by € 29 million or 2%. The cost
increase of € 29 million in 2011 included higher professional fees and higher fees to statutory bodies partly offset by lower pension
costs and lower NAMA related costs. In 2010 there was a writedown in the value of intangible assets in relation to projects
discontinued during the year partly offset by the reversal of an accrual for personnel expenses which was no longer required. When
these amounts are excluded, costs in 2011 reduced by 3% compared to 2010.
Personnel expenses in 2011 were € 935 million, an increase of € 14 million or 2% compared with € 921 million in 2010.
Excluding EBS personnel expenses of € 18 million in the second half of 2011, personnel expenses were in line with 2010,
notwithstanding the inclusion of c. 200 staff from the acquisition of Anglo deposits in February 2011 and increased staff numbers in
credit management areas. Adjusting for the one-off items mentioned in the previous paragraph, personnel expenses were 4% lower
than 2010.
General and administrative expenses of € 670 million in 2011 were € 122 million or 22% higher than € 548 million in 2010. The
increase mainly related to professional fees and consultancy costs associated with restructuring and transformation, deleveraging, capital
raising and credit management. There was also increased reimbursement of fees to statutory bodies, particularly in relation to capital
raising. Excluding these items and EBS expenses of € 19 million in the second half of 2011, general and administrative expenses were
down 1% when compared to 2010.
(1)Depreciation of property, plant and equipment.
(2)Impairment and amortisation of intangible assets.
31
Financial review - 3. Management report
Depreciation, impairment and amortisation of € 115 million in 2011 was € 65 million or 36% lower when compared to € 180 million
in 2010. This reduction was mainly due to a writedown in 2010 in the value of intangible assets of € 59 million in relation to projects
discontinued.
2010 v 2009
Total operating expenses were € 1,649 million in 2010, an increase of € 127 million or 8% when compared to € 1,522 million in 2009.
In 2009 there was a gain of € 159 million from an amendment to retirement benefits, excluding which costs decreased by € 32 million
or 2%. Total operating expenses in 2010 included higher professional fees, a writedown in the value of intangible assets in relation to
projects discontinued during 2010, costs of € 44 million relating to NAMA compared with € 29 million in 2009, partially offset by a
reversal of an accrual for personnel expenses which was no longer required . Excluding these items the cost base decreased by
€ 55 million or 3%. This decrease reflected active cost management in a period of difficult economic conditions, lower staff numbers
and reduced business activity. These cost reductions were in addition to reductions of 11% in 2009.
The following comment on personnel expenses excludes the retirement benefits amendment in 2009 mentioned above. Personnel
expenses in 2010 were € 921 million, a decrease of € 147 million or 14% compared with € 1,068 million in 2009 reflecting a reduction
of more than 400 in staff numbers during 2010 (in addition to a reduction of almost 900 in 2009) and a reversal of an accrual for
personnel expenses which was no longer required.
General and administrative expenses of € 548 million in 2010 were € 62 million or 13% higher than € 486 million in 2009. The
increase was mainly related to professional fees and consultancy costs connected with the sale of businesses, business restructuring and
preparation for transfer of loans to NAMA. Incremental occupancy costs following continued rollout of the branch sale and leaseback
programme and other one-off costs also impacted.
Depreciation, impairment and amortisation of € 180 million in 2010 was € 53 million or 42% higher than 2009. This increase was
due to a writedown in the value of intangible assets of € 59 million in relation to projects discontinued during 2010. Depreciation,
impairment and amortisation costs decreased by 5% excluding this writedown.

Loss from associated undertakings in 2011 was € 37 million compared with a profit of € 18 million in 2010. On 5 January 2012, AIB
announced that it is to end the existing distribution arrangement with Aviva for life and pension products through Aviva Life Holdings
Ireland Limited. The results for 2011 include an impairment of the investment in Aviva Life Holdings of € 36 million (see note 36 for
further details). Associated undertakings also includes Aviva Health Insurance Ireland Limited and AIB’s share in the joint venture with
First Data International trading as AIB Merchant Services. The contribution from these businesses increased in 2011.
2010 v 2009
Income from associated undertakings in 2010 was € 18 million compared with a loss of € 3 million in the comparative period.
Associated undertakings includes AIB’s share of Aviva Life Holdings Ireland Limited, Aviva Health Insurance Ireland Limited and AIB’s
share in the joint venture with First Data International, trading as AIB Merchant Services. The improved financial out-turn reflected
increased contributions from each of these businesses.

Income tax
2011 v 2010
The taxation credit for 2011 was € 1,188 million (including a € 1,148 million credit relating to deferred taxation), compared with a
taxation credit of € 1,710 million in 2010 (including a credit of € 1,714 million relating to deferred taxation). The taxation credits
exclude taxation on share of results of associated undertakings. Associated undertakings are reported net of taxation in the Group loss
before taxation. The credit is influenced by the geographic mix of profits and losses, which are taxed at the rates applicable in the
jurisdictions where the Group operates. With specific exceptions as set out in note 39, deferred tax credit continues to be recognised in
full for the value of tax losses arising in Group companies, as it is expected that the tax losses will be utilised in full against future
profits.
2010 v 2009
The taxation credit for 2010 was € 1,710 million (including a € 1,714 million credit relating to deferred taxation), compared with a
taxation credit of € 373 million in 2009 (including a credit of € 374 million relating to deferred taxation). The taxation credits exclude
taxation on share of results of associated undertakings. Associated undertakings are reported net of taxation in the Group (loss)/profit

Discontinued operations recorded a profit after taxation of € 1,628 million in 2011 compared to € 199 million in 2010. Discontinued
operations in 2010 were impacted by investment reviews which resulted in a € 62 million writedown with regard to the investment in
BACB and by the completion of the disposal of the M&T investment on 4 November 2010. See note 18 for further details.
BZWBK recorded a profit before taxation of € 99 million in the three months to March 2011, compared with € 329 million in the
full year 2010 and there was a profit on disposal of the business of € 1,546 million, following completion of the sale on 1 April 2011.

Financial review - 3. Management report
2010 v 2009
On 10 September 2010, AIB announced that it had conditionally agreed to sell its shareholding in Bank Zachodni WBK S.A.
(“BZWBK”) in Poland to Banco Santander S.A. The sale was completed on 1 April 2011.
On 4 November 2010, AIB Group announced the completed disposal of its shareholding in M&T.
Discontinued operations recorded a profit after taxation of € 199 million in 2010 compared to a loss after taxation of € 45 million
in 2009. Discontinued operations were impacted by investment reviews carried out in 2010 and 2009. 2010 included a € 62 million
writedown with regard to the investment in BACB. 2009 included impairment charges of € 200 million and € 108 million relating to
M&T and BACB respectively.
BZWBK recorded a profit before taxation of € 329 million, compared with € 265 million in 2009, an increase of 24% or 15% on a
constant currency basis. Net interest income was up, driven primarily by improved margins on customer deposits. Lending volumes
were lower reflecting reduced exposure to the property sector and average deposit volumes were at similar levels to 2009. Total
operating expenses were up 10% compared with 2009 (1% on a constant currency basis), while the provision charge for impairment of
loans and receivables in 2010 decreased by 7% from 2009 (14% on a constant currency basis) to € 105 million. The provision charge
represented 1.21% of average customer loans compared to 1.34% in 2009.
M&T’s contribution was € 5 million in 2010 compared to a loss of € 156 million in 2009.
BACB recorded a loss of € 60 million in 2010 compared to a loss of € 103 million in 2009. A review of AIB’s associate holding in
BACB resulted in an income statement charge of € 62 million partly offset by an operating profit of € 2 million in 2010. As a result of
the charge, AIB’s investment in BACB was written down to Nil. 2009 included an impairment charge of € 108 million for BACB.

While the headline gross customer loans are up € 2.7 billion in 2011, gross loans were down 14% or € 13.6 billion since
31 December 2010 excluding EBS gross loans of € 16.3 billion (including EBS loans classified as non-core of € 2.7 billion) at
31 December 2011. This reduction reflected significant ongoing deleveraging measures and continued weak demand for credit in
2011. Excluding currency factors AIB UK gross loans decreased by 2%.

Excluding EBS net loans of € 15.3 billion at 31 December 2011 (including EBS loans classified as non-core of € 2.2 billion), net loans
decreased by € 20.0 billion or 23%. The identified pool of non-core assets including net customer loans classified as held for sale
reduced from € 25.1 billion at 31 December 2010 to € 12.8 billion at 31 December 2011 (excluding EBS non-core loans of
€ 2.2 billion at the end of 2011). The reductions reflected the aforementioned significant ongoing deleveraging measures, weaker credit
demand and loan loss provisions. Excluding currency factors AIB UK net loans decreased by 4% in 2011.

The increase in total customer accounts of € 8.3 billion includes the acquisition of EBS deposits and Anglo deposits of € 8.5 billion and
€ 5.3 billion respectively as at 31 December 2011. Excluding the EBS deposits and Anglo deposits, customer accounts were down
€ 5.5 billion. Bank and sovereign ratings downgrades contributed to an outflow in deposits in the first half of 2011, particularly from
Non Bank Financial Institutions (“NBFIs”) and international corporates during Q1 2011. In the second half of 2011 customer account
balances were broadly stable. Excluding currency factors AIB UK customer accounts increased by 10% in 2011.

The Group’s balance sheet saw significant change in 2011, with the disposal of BZWBK, the acquisition of Anglo NAMA senior bonds
and deposits, the acquisition of EBS, asset deleveraging in the Non-Core unit and the completion of AIB’s capital raising measures.
The source of funds continued to show customer accounts as the largest funding source at 47% of total funding requirement at
31 December 2011, up from 45% at 31 December 2010. Excluding the NTMA deposit placed at 30 June 2011 of € 11 billion in
advance of recapitalisation in July, customer accounts were broadly stable in the second half of 2011. This was a positive result following
the € 5 billion decrease in customer deposits (excluding Anglo) in the first half of 2011. Customer deposits stabilised after the PCAR
announcement and the resultant recapitalisation of the Group. Secured funding has decreased by € 5 billion (€ 9 billion excluding EBS
repos) due to asset deleveraging and sale of securities held in AIB’s available for sale (AFS) portfolio. Unsecured interbank borrowings
reduced by € 8 billion to € 1 billion in the full year reflecting the repayment of non standard facilities with the CBI in April 2011. At
31 December 2011 AIB availed of Central Bank funding of € 31 billion (including EBS of € 4 billion), down from € 37 billion at
31 December 2010.AIB extended the bank’s debt maturity by participating in the 3-year Long Term Refinancing Operation (LTRO),
to the amount of € 3.0 billion at 31 December 2011. Reducing the reliance on ECB funding will continue to be a key objective of
the bank. Senior debt as a percentage of funding sources decreased by 1% in 2011 to 8% at 31 December 2011 reflecting the
repayment of € 2 billion in bonds, offset partially by € 1 billion of EBS bonds. ACS as a percentage of funding sources increased by 1%
to 3% at 31 December 2011 due to the inclusion of EBS ACS.
The Group’s loan deposit ratio decreased from 165% at 31 December 2010 to 136% at 31 December 2011 (138% including the
aforementioned loans and receivables held for sale). The Group is managing to interim targets agreed with the Central Bank of Ireland
for the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) and Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) pending their formal introduction as regulatory
standards in 2015 and 2018 respectively.
Access to wholesale funding markets continued to be restricted in 2011. This is a symptom of the continued negative sentiment
towards the fiscal position which gave rise to the EU/ECB/IMF financial support package, the Europe-wide uncertainty in the second
half of 2011 and the Group’s credit rating. The terms of the restructuring plan agreed with the EU/ECB/IMF requires AIB to reduce
its wholesale funding dependency and maintain its deposit franchise. The retention and gathering of stable customer accounts in a
challenging and increasingly competitive market environment remains a key focus of the Group. Coupled with the action to
deleverage non-core assets, this is paramount to increasing the bank’s pool of available liquid assets and to the Group’s overall
funding/liquidity strategy.

Segment reporting
In this section, the Group’s operations are reported under the Core banking segments outlined on page 27 and Group (which includes
wholesale treasury activities). Non-Core, which comprises assets which AIB is committed to deleveraging together with related costs, is
reported as a distinct portfolio. The current segment structure was announced in mid 2011 and consequently the first half of 2011
along with 2010 was restated.
The segments’ performance statements include all income and direct costs relating to each segment but exclude overheads which
are held centrally in the ‘Group’ segment. Funding and liquidity charges are based on actual wholesale funding costs incurred and a
segment’s net funding requirements. Wholesale funding costs include ELG charges relating to wholesale funds. Net interest income
also includes ELG charges directly attaching to customer deposits within a segment. Income on capital is allocated to segments based
on each segment’s capital requirement. Surplus capital is held in the Group segment. The cost of services between segments and from
central support functions to segments is based on the estimated actual cost incurred in providing the service.
A summarised view of the Group’s segmental performance for 2011 and 2010 is available in note 1 to the accounts.
Personal & Business Banking (PBB) recorded a loss of € 1.1 billion in 2011.
Personal & Business Banking comprises banking operations for the personal segment and small enterprises within the Republic of Ireland. This
segment also includes Channel Islands and the Isle of Man.

PBB was created in 2011 to service the personal and small business customer market segments. AIB commands a strong presence in both
of these key sectors, of which mortgages is a key element.
2011 was a particularly difficult year for PBB, as conditions in Ireland's economy remained very challenging. Competition for deposits
further intensified against the background of a low interest rate environment. In addition, lower advances margins mainly reflected lower
variable rate home mortgage margins partially offset by increased margins on other products. Higher unemployment and lower disposable
incomes contributed to higher mortgage impairments.
For the year ended 31 December 2011, PBB recorded a loss before taxation of € 1,084 million with provisions for impairment of loans
of € 1,177 million. This compares with a loss before taxation of € 399 million in 2010 with provisions for loans of € 736 million.
Operating profit before provisions was € 125 million. This was down 61% when compared to 2010, with total operating income of
€ 846 million down 17% and total operating expenses of € 721 million, an increase of 4%.

Financial review - 3. Management report
Net loans to customers reduced by 8% to € 27 billion at 31 December 2011. This decrease reflects increased loan impairment provisions,
loan repayments and subdued demand for new lending, particularly for mortgage and consumer credit products as consumers continue to
take a cautious approach to additional debt and in many cases are reducing their personal debt levels.
Total customer accounts remain broadly unchanged at € 28 billon as at 31 December 2011 when compared with 31 December 2010.
Intense competition which existed in the Irish deposit market during 2011 coupled with Irish and European sovereign debt concerns
impacted on the ability to raise retail deposits. This resulted in a 9% reduction to underlying customer accounts compared with
31 December 2010 when customer accounts received as part of the acquisition of the Anglo deposit business are excluded. Concerns
about Ireland’s fiscal position and the stability of the banking sector gave rise to significant outflow of deposits in the first half of 2011 and
resulted in 8% reduction in deposit balances to 30 June. This decline stabilised in the second half of the year with deposits remaining
relatively flat between 30 June and 31 December 2011 as fears subsided and with continued focus by PBB on both retention and gathering
of deposits albeit at elevated pricing levels.
Net interest income for year ended 31 December 2011 of € 583 million was 19% lower than 2010. This reduction in net interest
income was due to the cost of the Eligible Liabilities Guarantee (ELG) scheme together with the higher cost of wholesale funding. In
addition, there was a reduction in the average earning loan volumes due to the migration of loans from earning to impaired and scheduled
loan repayments during 2011. There was also a reduction in advances margins, due to variable rate home mortgage pricing as the April
and July 25bps ECB rate increases were not passed on to customers. The effect of this was partly offset by some recovery in non mortgage
lending margin during the year.
Other income for year ended 31 December 2011 of € 263 million was 11% lower than 2010 reflecting lower level of customer
transaction activity with an adverse impact on fees and other income.
Operating expenses for year ended 31 December 2011 of € 721 million was 4% higher than 2010. Rigorous cost management of the
PBB cost base was offset by costs associated with increases in the number of personnel in credit management and compliance roles.
The provision charge for impairment of loans and receivables for year ended 31 December 2011 was € 1,177 million and represents a
charge of 3.95% of average gross loans. Impairment charge on the PBB loan portfolio remains high but within expectations due to the
economic downturn, which has resulted in high levels of unemployment and lower disposable incomes. These factors combined with high
levels of personal debt have given rise to a significant increase in impaired loans. Impaired loans at 31 December 2011 were € 1.2 billion
higher at € 2.7 billion when compared to 31 December 2010, driven principally by growth in home mortgage impaired loans of
€ 1 billion (owner occupier € 0.7 billion, buy to let € 0.3 billion).
Losses incurred on associated undertakings reflect an impairment charge of € 36 million in respect of the investment in Aviva Life
Holdings Limited - see note 36 for further details.
Profit on disposal of business for the year ended 31 December 2011 of € 10 million represents the profit from sale of AIB Jerseytrust
Limited, located in the Channel Islands.

CICB loss before taxation was € 3.0 billion in 2011 compared to € 1.6 billion in 2010. Operating loss before provisions of
€ 96 million in 2011 compared to an operating profit of € 1 million in 2010, with total operating income of € 167 million down by
€ 70 million and total operating expenses of € 263 million up € 27 million.
Net interest income of € 79 million was 53% lower than 2010. This reduction in net interest income was due to higher
non-performing loan volumes, higher costs of deposits and increased ELG costs. Deposit pricing remained intensely competitive
throughout the year.
Consumer sentiment in the Republic of Ireland remained subdued during 2011 with ongoing uncertainty in the Eurozone. CICB
is fully committed to supporting customers facing difficulty and has a dedicated team in place to provide a range of supports to mid
sized commercial enterprises.
Gross loans were down € 0.6 billion compared to 2010 and net loans were down by € 3.3 billion, mainly due to provision charges.
Demand for business credit remained at subdued levels reflecting the uncertain economic outlook.
Other income of € 88 million was 28% higher due to lower mark to market writedowns in 2011. Excluding the writedowns, other
income was lower than 2010 reflecting lower fee and foreign exchange income.
Personnel expenses were € 19 million higher due to increased staff numbers which were mainly required to support more intensive
credit management activity and the reversal in 2010 related to personnel expenses not utilised. General and administrative expenses of
€ 86 million in 2011 increased by 9%, primarily driven by higher professional costs associated with business transformation.
The provision charge for impairment of loans and receivables for 2011 was € 2.9 billion compared to € 1.6 billion in 2010. The
increase in the impairment charge reflects the stressed economic environment and falling property values through 2011.

AIB UK reported a loss before taxation of £ 193 million. Operating loss before provisions was £ 1 million in 2011 compared with a
profit of £ 100 million in 2010, reflecting the reduction in loan volumes and continued competition for customer deposits.
The reduction in operating profit was primarily driven by a 41% reduction in net interest income. This reflects a reduction in
income from lower advances volumes mainly as a result of asset transfers to NAMA and Non-Core combined with continued margin
compression on customer deposits. Lending margins continued to improve during the year, while net customer loans fell since
December 2010. Customer deposits increased by 10% since December 2010, which reflects the Anglo deposit business acquired in
February 2011. While there was some reduction in the AIB originated UK book, this stabilised in the second half of 2011. As a result
of the decrease in advances and increase in the deposit book, the loan deposit ratio improved to 88% at 31 December 2011.
Other income fell by 21%, as a result of the reduction in fee income due to lower business transactions than the previous year and a
gain on disposal of available for sale debt securities in 2010 which was not repeated in 2011. Costs increased by 3% on the previous
year, with lower staff costs as a result of reduced staff numbers and lower pension costs offset by higher operating expenses due to non
recurring items.
Loan impairment charges for the year increased to £ 194 million, due to the continued economic downturn along with a higher
IBNR charge in 2011.

EBS reported a loss before taxation of € 152 million for the period since acquisition by AIB on 1 July 2011. The loss of € 152 million
included provisions for impairment of loans and receivables of € 201 million.
Net interest income for the period was € 86 million. The cost of retail and wholesale funding, including the cost of ELG remained
high during the period. It was necessary to further increase customer lending rates in order to return loan margins to sustainable levels.
Total operating expenses in the period were € 42 million. The underlying costs of running the business are under constant review.
The impairment charge for loans and receivables of € 201 million on an annualised basis represented 2.94% of average loans and
brought total balance sheet provisions at 31 December 2011 to € 466 million or 3.4% of gross loans. The economic conditions in the
Republic of Ireland continue to be extremely challenging for customers and the impact of high unemployment, austerity measures and
a stressed property market led to increased default levels and consequently higher impairment charges. EBS is fully committed to
supporting customers in financial difficulty.
EBS continues to support the residential mortgage market in Ireland through mortgages advanced to first time buyers and home
movers. At 31 December 2011, EBS had total gross mortgages of € 13.6 billion. The level of loans advanced in 2011 was lower than in
previous years due to subdued demand and the introduction of tighter credit criteria.
EBS continues to have a strong franchise in the retail deposit market and at 31 December 2011 had total customer accounts of
€ 8.5 billion. The impact of successive corporate and sovereign downgrades in the Republic of Ireland resulted in pricing remaining
intensely competitive but retail balances were maintained.

Group reported a loss before exceptionals of € 310 million compared to a profit of € 22 million in 2010. This out-turn reflected higher
impairment of financial investments available for sale and lower profit from wholesale treasury activities.
The trends in net interest income and other income in Group were impacted by the reclassification of income between headings in
relation to interest rate hedging. Consequently, it is more meaningful to analyse the trend in total operating income. Total operating
income excluding exceptionals decreased from € 382 million in 2010 to € 298 million in 2011. This reflected lower income from
wholesale treasury activities partly offset by higher capital income in 2011.
Total operating expenses of € 355 million in 2011 increased by € 14 million compared to 2010. This reflected significant
expenditure on external engagement including professional fees, consultancy costs and regulatory fees. These increases were partly offset
by lower depreciation/amortisation in 2011, mainly due to a writedown in 2010 in the value of intangible assets in relation to projects
discontinued.
Total provisions increased from € 54 million in 2010 to € 281 million in 2011. The increase in provision for impairment of
financial investments available for sale reflected the impairment of Eurozone bank and sovereign bonds and the impairment of
subordinated bonds received on transfer of assets to NAMA.
The profit on disposal of business in 2011 mainly reflects the profit on sale of the investment in AIB International Financial
Services and related companies of € 27 million.

Non-Core was established to formulate and implement AIB’s strategy of deleveraging non-core assets through a combination of
disposals, run-off, refinancing and other forms of deleveraging. Non-Core assets are managed as a distinct portfolio within the business
by a dedicated management team. The team has an explicit performance mandate to realise optimum value from the portfolio while
also preserving AIB’s core customer franchise within the overall objective of meeting the defined deleveraging targets as agreed with
the regulatory authorities.
To date, AIB has made significant progress in meeting its deleveraging targets. During 2011, Non-Core net loans reduced by
€ 10.1 billion, notwithstanding the inclusion of € 2.2 billion of EBS loans classified as non-core at 31 December 2011. This reduction
was achieved through a combination of disposals, targeted non-refinancing of loans, redemptions, scheduled repayments and additional
provisioning. This principally occurred in overseas property, project finance and other leveraged portfolios located in the United States,
United Kingdom and Europe.
Losses before exceptionals of € 3.3 billion in 2011 compared to € 3.4 billion in 2010. Net interest income declined by 37% from
€ 234 million to € 148 million as loan volumes declined significantly in line with the bank’s ongoing deleveraging strategy. Lower fee
income following the sale of non-core businesses and losses on credit derivative contracts contributed to the fall in other income.
Total operating expenses fell by 24%, principally impacted by lower staff numbers, staff related costs and operating expenses
following the sale of non-core businesses.
The reduction in credit provisions from € 3.6 billion in 2010 to € 3.3 billion in 2011 reflects lower NAMA loans in 2011.
Excluding credit provisions on NAMA loans, credit provisions increased from € 2.1 billion in 2010 to € 3.2 billion in 2011.
Continuing credit stresses, particularly in the property and development portfolios, contributed to this increase.

Financial review - 4. Capital management
The objectives of the Group’s capital management policy are to at all times comply with regulatory capital requirements and to ensure
that the Group has sufficient capital to cover the current and future risks inherent in its business and to support its future
development. The Group does this through an Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (“ICAAP”), which is subject to
supervisory review and evaluation. The minimum regulatory capital requirements set by the Central Bank, which reflect the
requirements of the Capital Requirements Directive, establish a floor of 4% under which the core tier 1 capital ratio must not fall (8%
for total capital ratio). These ratios were the capital adequacy requirements effective as at 31 December 2010. Following the Prudential
Capital Assessment Review (“PCAR”) in March 2011 which was carried out as part of the Financial Measures Programme, the
Central Bank announced a new minimum capital target for AIB of 10.5% core tier 1 in a base scenario and 6% core tier 1 in a
stressed scenario. These target ratios form the basis of the Group’s capital management policy and are the capital adequacy
requirements effective as at 31 December 2011. Following the recapitalisation, as at 31 December 2011, the actual core tier 1 capital
ratio was 17.9%.
Capital Requirements Directive
The Capital Requirements Directive (“CRD”), which came into force on 1 January 2007, is the EU directive that establishes the
regulatory capital adequacy requirements for credit institutions. It is set out in three distinct ‘pillars’. Pillar 1 is concerned with the
calculation of the minimum capital requirements for credit risk, market risk and operational risk. Under Pillar 2 banks are required to
estimate their own internal capital requirements to cover all material risks (not limited to the pillar 1 risks) as part of their ICAAP
which is then subject to supervisory review and evaluation (known as the “SREP”). Pillar 3 (‘market discipline’) involves the
disclosure of a suite of qualitative and quantitative risk management information to the market. The Group most recently issued Pillar
3 disclosures in July 2011. Since it came into effect the CRD has been amended a number of times (“CRD II” and “CRD III”).
These amendments reflected in the main; new requirements on hybrid tier one capital instruments; updates to the large exposures
regime; improved risk management requirements for securitisations; and changes to trading book capital requirements. These
amendments have not had a material impact on the capital position of the Group. CRD IV is currently being drafted and is expected
to come into effect on a phased basis from 2013, fully effective from 1 January 2018. It is based on the Basel 3 recommendations,
which were developed in response to the recent banking crisis and aims to strengthen the capital adequacy of banks by:
- increasing the quality of eligible capital the banks can include in their capital base for capital adequacy purposes; and
- increasing the quantity of capital held by setting significantly higher minimum capital ratios and identifying capital buffers that can
be imposed by national supervisors according to their assessment of risk exposure.
Financial Measures Programme
Under the terms of the Joint EU-IMF Programme for Ireland, a PCAR exercise was carried out during March 2011. The outcome of
this review was published by the Central Bank in the Financial Measures Programme Report on 31 March 2011. The Central Bank
based its decision on required recapitalisation on loan-loss projections, along with further assumptions concerning the prospective
income, expenditure, and deleveraging plans. The total PCAR capital requirement announced for AIB was € 13.3 billion, of which
€ 1.4 billion was required to be in the form of contingent capital. This announcement superseded the previous PCAR
announcements made in 2010. Following the acquisition of EBS on 1 July 2011, AIB also assumed the PCAR requirement for EBS.
This was € 1.5 billion, of which € 0.2 billion was required to be in the form of contingent capital. This resulted in a total PCAR
requirement for the Group, post EBS acquisition, of € 14.8 billion (of which € 1.6 billion was required to be form of contingent
capital), to be completed by the end of July 2011.
Recapitalisation by the Irish Government
The Group’s capital base has undergone significant changes during 2011, the most significant of which was the recapitalisation of the
Group by the Irish Government following the completion of the Central Bank’s Financial Measures Programme. Apart from a
€ 2.1 billion core tier 1 gain from the liability management exercises carried out in June/July 2011, the € 14.8 billion PCAR capital
requirement was provided by the State as follows:
Placing of € 5 billion
Following shareholder approval at the EGM of 26 July 2011, AIB raised € 5 billion in core tier 1 capital. Under a placing agreement,
the National Pensions Reserve Fund Commission (“NPRFC”) agreed to subscribe in cash for 500,000,000,000 new ordinary shares
at a price of € 0.01 per share. This capital was issued on 27 July 2011.

Financial review - 4. Capital management
Contingent capital notes issue
Following shareholder approval at the EGM of 26 July 2011, contingent capital notes were issued by AIB to the Minister for Finance
on 27 July 2011. These are subordinated tier 2 capital instruments issued at par with five year and one day maturities, an annual
coupon of 10% and an aggregate principal amount of € 1.6 billion. The contingent capital notes will convert immediately and
mandatorily in their entirety into ordinary shares should a predefined capital deficiency or non-viability event occur.
Capital contributions
On 28 July 2011, AIB received capital contributions totalling € 6.1 billion from the Minister for Finance and the NPRFC. No new
shares were issued in return for these capital contributions.

Liability Management Exercises (“LMEs”)
On 24 January 2011, AIB completed a tender offer for certain of its tier 2 capital instruments, in which it offered to purchase for cash
at 30% of their face value, lower tier 2 securities with a nominal value of € 3.9 billion. Tender offers were approved for approximately
€ 2 billion of these lower tier 2 securities. In addition, € 0.2 billion was exchanged for cash in a private placement. The Group
generated core tier 1 capital of approximately € 1.5 billion as a result of this liability management exercise which was reflected in the
income statement.
On 13 May 2011, AIB launched a tender offer for cash for all its outstanding subordinated liabilities and other capital instruments.
Under this offer AIB agreed to purchase these instruments at significant discounts to their face value. In relation to the instruments
settled in June/July 2011 a gain amounting to € 1,343 million was recognised in the income statement and a further gain of
€ 387 million directly in equity. Three remaining instruments settled in July 2011 bringing the total LME gain to € 2.1 billion,
€ 1.7 billion recognised in the income statement and € 0.4 billion recognised directly in equity.
Regulatory capital ratios
The recapitalisation is reflected in a significant strengthening of the Group’s capital ratios in the period from 31 December 2010 to
31 December 2011, during which the Group’s core tier 1 ratio increased from 4.0% to 17.9%. Total capital ratio increased from
9.2% to 20.5%.

(1)At 31 December 2011, under the Central Bank’s Financial Measures Programme (“FMP”), AIB is required to report its core tier 1 capital with
50:50 supervisory deductions now being applied to the core tier 1 capital calculation. These deductions were previously deducted from tier 1 capital.
This methodology is consistent with that used to calculate capital shortfalls for participating institutions in the Prudential Capital Assessment Review
(“PCAR”) 2011.
(2)At 31 December 2010, the Group, on a consolidated and individual basis, benefited from derogations from certain regulatory capital requirements
granted on a temporary basis by the Central Bank of Ireland. The requirement for derogations arose as a result of loan impairment provisions at
31 December 2010. These derogations remained in place until the completion of the liability management exercise on 24 January 2011.

Financial review - 4. Capital management
Risk weighted assets (“RWAs”) reduced by € 14.5 billion in the period. Credit risk accounted for € 11.6 billion of the decrease, the
primary driver of which was deleveraging. Deleveraging includes disposals, repayments, and provisions related to non-core assets
(excluding sale of BZWBK). The disposal of BZWBK on 1 April 2011 resulted in a € 9.2 billion reduction in credit RWAs, however
the acquisition of EBS on 1 July 2011 resulted in a € 9.6 billion increase in credit RWAs. Deterioration in borrower credit ratings also
had an increasing effect on RWAs during the period. Market and operational RWAs accounted for a € 2.9 billion reduction in total
RWAs. The disposal of BZWBK was the main driver of the reduction in operational RWAs and was also a contributory factor in the
reduction of market risk weighted assets.
Core tier 1 capital increased by € 11.2 billion to 31 December 2011. This was due to the € 5 billion equity placing (€ 1 billion in
paid-up share capital and related share premium, € 4 billion in renominalisation reserves), capital contributions totalling € 8.3 billion
(€ 6.1 billion from the State, € 0.8 billion resulting from the EBS acquisition, € 1.4 billion relating to the transfer of Anglo Irish Bank
businesses), LME gains of € 3.6 billion, a € 1.5 billion gain on the disposal of AIB’s shareholding in BZWBK, offset by underlying
losses. The net impact of these movements together with the decrease in risk weighted assets is an increase in the core tier 1 capital
ratio from 4.0% as at 31 December 2010 to 17.9% at 31 December 2011.
Tier 1 capital increased by € 10.8 billion to 31 December 2011. In addition to the aforementioned factors relating to the increase
in core tier 1 capital, the LME in June/July 2011 resulted in a € 566 million reduction in non-core tier 1 capital instruments,
partially offset by a reduction in the supervisory deductions relating to unconsolidated financial investments and securitisations (there
is no deduction for expected loss on IRB portfolios as IRB provisions exceed expected loss).
Tier 2 capital decreased by € 2.7 billion in the period, from € 5.0 billion as at 31 December 2010 to € 2.3 billion as at
31 December 2011. This was mainly due to the LMEs which resulted in approximately € 4.2 billion reduction in tier 2 loan capital.
This was offset by the issue of € 1.6 billion of new subordinated debt in the form of the contingent capital instrument included in the
recapitalisation of the Group in July 2011.
The total capital ratio increased from 9.2% at 31 December 2010 to 20.5% as at 31 December 2011 which reflects the net
movements in tier 1 and tier 2 capital as detailed above, a decrease in the supervisory deduction which relates to the life business joint
venture with Aviva, and the reduction in risk weighted assets.
EBA Stress Tests
On 15 July 2011, the results of an EU-wide EBA stress test on European banks were published. The stress test, which set a threshold
for passing of 5% core tier 1 ratio, showed that AIB would have a core tier 1 ratio of 11.7% (10.0% excluding contingent capital) at
December 2012 following the application of the stress test and the raising of capital required by PCAR. AIB was found to have no
further capital raising requirements as a result of the EBA stress test.
The EBA conducted a further stress test during the second half of 2011 on certain sovereign exposures. On this occasion the
threshold was raised to 9% core tier 1 capital ratio. The results were published on the 8 December 2011. The published results
confirmed that AIB did not require any additional capital.

Financial review - 5. Critical accounting policies & estimates
The Group’s accounting policies are set out on pages 227 to 253 of this report.
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the
application of policies and reported amounts of certain assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosures of contingent assets and
liabilities. The estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable
under the circumstances. Since management judgement involves making estimates concerning the likelihood of future events, the
actual results could differ from those estimates.
The accounting policies that are deemed critical to AIB’s results and financial position, in terms of the materiality of the items to
which the policy is applied and the estimates that have a significant impact on the financial statements are set out in this section. In
addition, estimates with a significant risk of material adjustment in the next year are also discussed.
Going concern*
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. In making its assessment of the Group’s ability to continue as a
going concern, the Board of Directors have taken into consideration the significant economic and market risks and uncertainties that
currently impact Irish financial institutions and the Group. These include the ability to access Eurosystem funding and Central Bank
liquidity facilities to meet liquidity requirements. In addition, the Directors have considered the current level of capital and the
potential requirement for capital in the assessment period. Furthermore, the Directors considered the risks and uncertainties impacting
the Eurozone.
Loan impairment*
AIB’s accounting policy for impairment of financial assets is set out in accounting policy number 15. The provisions for impairment
of loans and receivables at 31 December 2011 represent management’s best estimate of the losses incurred in the loan portfolios at the
reporting date.
The estimation of loan losses is inherently uncertain and depends upon many factors, including loan loss trends, portfolio grade
profiles, local and international economic climates, conditions in various industries to which AIB Group is exposed and other external
factors such as legal and regulatory requirements.
Credit risk is identified, assessed and measured through the use of credit rating and scoring tools. The ratings influence the
management of individual loans. Special attention is paid to lower quality rated loans and when appropriate, loans are transferred to
specialist units to help avoid default, or where in default, to help minimise loss. The credit rating triggers the raising of specific
provisions on individual loans where there is doubt about their recoverability.
The management process for the identification of loans requiring provision is underpinned by independent tiers of review. Credit
quality and loan loss provisioning are independently monitored by credit and risk management on a regular basis. All AIB market
segments assess and approve their provisions and provision adequacy on a quarterly basis. These provisions are in turn reviewed and
approved by the AIB Group Credit Committee on a quarterly basis with ultimate Group levels being approved by the Audit
Committee and the Board.
Key assumptions underpinning the Group’s estimates of collective and IBNR provisioning are back tested with the benefit of
experience and revisited for currency on a regular basis.
Specific provisions
A specific provision is made against problem loans when, in the judgement of management, the estimated repayment realisable from
the obligor, including the value of any security available, is likely to fall short of the amount of principal and interest outstanding on
the obligor’s loan or overdraft account. The amount of the specific provision made in the Group’s consolidated financial statements is
intended to cover the difference between the assets’ carrying value and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at
the assets’ original effective interest rates. Specific provisions are created for cases that are individually significant (i.e. above certain
thresholds), and also collectively for assets that are not individually significant.
The amount of an individually assessed specific provision required is highly dependent on estimates of the amount of future cash
flows and their timing. Individually insignificant loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. As this process is model driven, based
on historic loan recovery rates, the total amount of the Group’s impairment provisions on these loans is somewhat uncertain as it may
not totally reflect the impact of the prevailing market conditions. However, the recovery rates are updated at a minimum on a yearly
basis.

Financial review - 5. Critical accounting policies & estimates
Loan impairment* (continued)
Changes in the estimate of the value of security and the time it takes to receive those cash flows could have a significant effect on the
amount of impairment provisions required and on the income statement expense and balance sheet position, for example,
in assessing the value of residential property held as collateral for impaired mortgage loans in Ireland, AIB uses a ‘peak to trough’ house
price decline of 55% as a base. In certain circumstances, realisation costs of 10% to 20% are also deducted. For larger impaired loans
(individually significant) other factors such as recent transactional evidence and/or local knowledge are considered, which can result in
higher discounts to collateral values. CSO statistics for December 2011 outline a ‘peak to trough’ decline of 48.2% for residential
property, nationally. If prices were to decline by a further 5% from AIB's assumed values and this decline fell directly through
to the collateral values of its impaired mortgage loans in Ireland, the additional impairment provision impact would be in the range of
approximately € 175 million to € 225 million.
The construction and property loan portfolio has been particularly adversely impacted by the downturn in both the Irish and UK
economies. Collateral values have significantly reduced and, particularly in Ireland, there is little or no market activity in the sector.
Accordingly, the estimation of cash flows likely to arise from the realisation of such collateral is subject to a very high degree of
uncertainty.
Incurred but not reported provisions
Incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) provisions are also maintained to cover loans which are impaired at the reporting date and,
while not specifically identified, are known from experience to be present in any portfolio of loans.
IBNR provisions are maintained at levels that are deemed appropriate by management having considered: credit grading profiles and
grading movements; historic loan loss rates; changes in credit management; procedures, processes and policies; levels of credit
management skills; local and international economic climates; portfolio sector profiles/industry conditions; and current estimates of
loss in the portfolio.
The total amount of impairment loss in the Group’s non-impaired portfolio and therefore the adequacy of the IBNR allowance is
inherently uncertain. There may be factors in the portfolio that have not been a feature of the past and changes in credit grading
profiles and grading movements may lag the change in the credit profile of the customer. In addition, current estimates of loss within
the earning portfolio and the period of time it takes following a loss event for an individual loan to be recognised as impaired
(‘emergence period’) are subject to a greater element of estimation due to the speed of change in the economies in which the Group
operates and the unprecedented market conditions.
Deferred taxation*
The Group’s accounting policy for deferred tax is set out in accounting policy number 13. Details of the Group’s deferred tax assets
and liabilities are contained in note 39.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable (defined for this purpose as more likely
than not) that there will be sufficient future taxable profits against which the losses can be used. For a company with a history of
recent losses, there must be convincing other evidence to underpin this assessment. The recognition of the deferred tax asset relies on
the assessment of future profitability and the sufficiency of those profits to absorb losses carried forward. It requires significant
judgements to be made about the projection of long-term future profitability because of the period over which recovery extends.
In assessing the future profitability of the Group, the Board has considered a range of positive and negative evidence for this
purpose. Among this evidence, the principal positive factors include the:
-
-
financial support provided by the Irish Government to AIB as agreed with the EU/IMF;
Irish Government’s committed support to AIB and its nomination of the Group as one of two pillar banks in the smaller
reconstructed Irish banking sector;
financial support provided to the Irish State under the EU/IMF programme;
absence of any expiry dates for Irish and UK tax losses;
non-enduring nature of the loan impairments at levels which resulted in recent years’ losses;
continued generation of operating profits before provisions in recent years;
restructuring plan submitted to the European Commission and initial responses from the Commission to that plan;
return to profitability within the Group’s internal medium-term financial plan and the ability to grow profits thereafter; and
-

-
*Forms an integral part of the audited financial statements.
50
Deferred taxation* (continued)
-
external forecasts for Ireland and the UK which indicate economic recovery through the period of the medium-term financial
plan.
Against this, there is a number of uncertainties inherent in any long-term financial assumptions and projections, including:
-
-
-
continued funding and margin pressures;
reduced size of the Group’s operations following re-structuring; and
recent instability in the Eurozone and in the Irish and global economies.
Taking account of all relevant factors the Group believes that it is more likely than not that it will return to profitability within
the timescale of the Group’s medium-term financial plan by 2014 and will achieve profits producing a sustainable market-range return
on equity in the long term. In the absence of any expiry date for tax losses in Ireland or the UK, the Group therefore believes that it
is more likely than not that there will be future taxable profits, in the relevant Group companies, against which to use the tax losses
(subject to the specific exceptions detailed in note 39).
The amount of recognised deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses amounts to € 3,707 million of which € 2,833 million
relates to Irish tax losses and € 874 million relates to United Kingdom tax losses.
IAS 12 does not permit a company to apply present value discounting to its deferred tax assets or liabilities, regardless of the
estimated timescales over which those assets or liabilities are projected to be realised. AIB Group’s deferred tax assets are projected to
be realised over a long timescale, benefiting from the absence of any expiry date for Irish or UK tax losses. As a result, the carrying
value of the deferred tax assets on the statement of financial position would not be an accurate guide to the fair value of those assets.
Determination of fair value of financial instruments*
The Group’s accounting policy for the determination of fair value of financial instruments is set out in accounting policy number 16.
The best evidence of fair value is quoted prices in an active market. The absence of quoted prices due to the deterioration of the
world’s financial markets increases reliance on valuation techniques and requires the use of judgement in the estimation of fair value. This
judgement includes but is not limited to: - evaluating available market information; determining the cash flows for the instruments;
identifying a risk free discount rate and applying an appropriate credit spread.
Valuation techniques that rely to a greater extent on non-observable data require a higher level of management judgement to calculate
a fair value than those based wholly on observable data.
The choice of contributors, the quality of market data used for pricing, and the valuation techniques used are all subject to internal
review and approval procedures. Given the uncertainty and subjective nature of valuing financial instruments at fair value, any change in
these variables could give rise to the financial instruments being carried at a different valuation, with a consequent impact on
shareholders’ equity and, in the case of derivatives and contingent capital instruments, the income statement.
NAMA senior bonds designation and valuation*
The Group’s accounting policy for NAMA senior bonds is set out in accounting policy number 17. These bonds are separately disclosed
in the statement of financial position.
NAMA senior bonds have been designated as loans and receivables at 31 December 2011, as they meet the criteria to be so
designated.
The bases for measurement, interest recognition and impairment for NAMA senior bonds are the same as those for loans and
receivables (see accounting policy numbers 6, 15, and 18). There is no active market for the NAMA senior bonds, accordingly, the fair
value at take on was determined using a valuation technique.
The absence of quoted prices in an active market required an increased use of management judgement in the estimation of fair value.
This judgement included, but was not limited to: evaluating available market information; determining the cash flows generated by the
instruments; identifying a risk free discount rate and applying an appropriate credit spread.
The valuation technique and critical assumptions used were subject to internal review and approval procedures. While the Group
believes its estimates of fair value are appropriate, the use of different measurements, valuation techniques or assumptions could have given
rise to the NAMA senior bonds being measured at a different valuation at initial recognition, with a consequent impact on the income
statement.
NAMA senior bonds are subject to the same credit review processes and procedures as for loans and receivables (accounting policy
number 15).

Financial review - 5. Critical accounting policies & estimates
Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations*
The Group’s accounting policy for non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations is set out in accounting policy
number 23.
For a non-current asset or a disposal group to be classified as held for sale, the Group believes that its carrying amount will be
recovered principally through sale rather than through continuing use, it is available for immediate sale and a sale is highly
probable within one year. In the case of discontinued operations, these constitute both a major line of business and a geographical
area of operation.
On initial classification as held for sale, non-current assets and discontinued operations are measured at the lower of carrying value
and fair value less costs to sell.
Loans and receivables held for sale within ‘Disposal groups and non-current assets held for sale’ are accounted for as for all other
loans and receivables (account policy numbers 6, 15 and 18). Derecognition will take place on the date on which the risks and
rewards inherent in these assets transfer. No provisions, apart from normal credit impairment provisions, have been made against the
carrying value of any such loans. The difference between the carrying value at the date of derecognition and the consideration
received will be recognised in the income statement.
Discontinued operations are presented in the income statement (including comparatives) as a separate amount, comprising the
total of the post tax profit or loss of the discontinued operations for the period together with any post-tax gain or loss recognised on
the remeasurement to fair value less costs to sell, or on disposal of the assets/disposal groups constituting discontinued operations. In
presenting interest income and interest expense and various expenses relating to discontinued operations, account is taken of the
continuance or otherwise of these income statement items post disposal of the discontinued operation. Corporate overhead, which
was previously allocated to the business being disposed of, is considered to be part of continuing operations. In the statement of
financial position, the assets and liabilities of discontinued operations are shown within the caption ‘Disposal groups and non-current
assets/(liabilities) held for sale’ separate from other assets and liabilities.
Retirement benefit obligations*
The Group’s accounting policy for retirement benefit plans is set out in accounting policy number 11.
The Group provides a number of defined benefit and defined contribution retirement benefit schemes in various geographic
locations, the majority of which are funded. In relation to the defined benefit schemes, a full actuarial valuation is undertaken every
three years and is updated to reflect current conditions in the intervening periods. Scheme assets are valued at fair value. Scheme
liabilities are measured on an actuarial basis, using the projected unit method and discounted at the current rate of return on a high
quality corporate bond of equivalent term and currency to the liability. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised immediately in the
statement of comprehensive income.
In calculating the scheme liabilities and the charge to the income statement, the directors have chosen a number of assumptions
within an acceptable range, under advice from the Group’s actuaries. The impact on the income statement and statement of financial
position could be materially different if a different set of assumptions were used.
Financial asset and financial liability classification*
The Group’s accounting policies provide scope for financial assets and financial liabilities to be designated on inception into different
accounting categories in certain circumstances. In classifying financial assets and financial liabilities as ‘trading’ the Group has determined
that they meet the definition of trading assets and trading liabilities as set out in accounting policy number 18 Financial assets and
accounting policy number 19 Financial liabilities.
On 13 October 2008, the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 39 which permits the reclassification of financial assets from trading
portfolio financial assets. AIB availed of the option provided by the amendment to reclassify securities from the trading portfolio to the
available for sale portfolio, based on their fair value on 1 July 2008, as described in note 27. In addition, in 2009 certain available for sale
debt securities were reclassified to loans and receivables to customers (notes 30 and 34). The classification of financial assets and financial
liabilities has a significant effect on their income statement treatment and could have a significant impact on reported income
Basis of consolidation*
For third party acquisitions, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are measured at their acquisition date fair values.
Where these acquisitions relate to the acquisition of a business between entities under the control of the Irish Government, assets
acquired and liabilities assumed are measured at their carrying value in the books of the transferor at the date of transfer, adjusted for
any differences in accounting policies.

Current accounts are both interest bearing and non-interest bearing checking accounts raised through AIB Group’s branch network in
Ireland, Northern Ireland, Britain and Poland.
Demand deposits attract interest rates which vary from time to time in line with movements in market rates and according to size
criteria. Such accounts are not subject to withdrawal by cheque or similar instrument and have no fixed maturity dates.
Time deposits are generally larger, attract higher rates of interest than demand deposits and have predetermined maturity dates.

Average interest rates during the year are computed by dividing total interest expense by the average amount borrowed. Average
interest rates at the year end are average rates for a single day and as such may reflect one-day market distortions which may not be
indicative of generally prevailing rates. ‘Other short-term borrowings’ consist principally of borrowings in the inter-bank market
included within ‘Deposits by central banks and banks’ and ‘Debt securities in issue’ in the consolidated financial statements and
generally have remaining maturities of one year or less. The maturity profiles of the above outstandings are disclosed in note 61 of
the consolidated financial statements.

Risk management - 1. Risk factors
Introduction
The Group’s approach to identifying and monitoring the principal risks and uncertainties it faces is informed by risk factors. All of the
Group’s activities involve, to varying degrees, the measurement, evaluation, acceptance and management of risks which are assessed on a
Group wide basis. Certain risks can be mitigated by the use of safeguards and appropriate systems and actions which form part of the
Group’s risk management framework.The principal risks and uncertainties facing the Group fall under the following broad categories:
- macro-economic and geopolitical risk;
- macro-prudential, regulatory and legal risks to our business model; and,
-
risks related to our business operations, governance and internal control systems.
The risks pertaining to each of these categories are set out in summary form in the box below and described in more detail in
subsequent pages.
Macro-economic and geopolitical risk
-
Ireland depends materially on financial support from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the European Union (“EU”) and
the European Central Bank (“ECB”) and may be adversely affected by the conditions attached to the financial support provided
by these institutions.
- The Group’s access to funding and liquidity is adversely affected by the financial instability within the Eurozone.
- Contagion risks could disrupt markets and adversely affect the Group’s financial condition.
- Constraints on liquidity, and market reaction to factors affecting Ireland and the Irish economy, have created an exceptionally
challenging environment for the management of the Group’s liquidity.
- The Group’s markets, particularly for retail deposits, are at risk from more intense competition.
- The Group’s business may be adversely affected by a further deterioration in economic and market conditions.
- General economic conditions continue to be very challenging for our mortgage and other lending customers and increase the risk
of payment default.
- The depressed Irish property prices may give rise to increased losses experienced by the Group.
- The Group faces market risks, including non-trading interest rate risk.
Macro-prudential, regulatory and legal risks to our business model
- The Group may be affected by new measures introduced by the Irish Government to support the Irish economy.
- The Group is subject to rigorous and demanding Government supervision and oversight.
- The Group may be subject to the risk of having insufficient capital to meet increased regulatory requirements.
- The Group’s business activities must comply with increasing levels of regulation introduced as a result of failings in financial
markets.
- The Group’s participation in the NAMA Programme gives rise to certain residual financial risks.
- The Group may be adversely affected by further austerity and budget measures introduced by the Irish Government.
- The value of certain financial instruments recorded at fair value is determined using financial models incorporating assumptions,
judgements and estimates that may change over time,or may ultimately not turn out to be accurate,and the value realised by the
Group for these assets may be materially different from their current,or estimated, fair value.
- The Group’s deferred tax assets depend substantially on the generation of future profits over an extended number of years.
- Adverse changes to tax legislation, regulatory requirements or accounting standards could impact capital ratios.
Risks related to our business operations, governance and internal control systems
- The Group is subject to inherent credit risks in respect of customers and counterparties which could adversely affect the Group’s
results, financial condition and further prospects.
- The Group faces heightened operational and reputational risks.
- The restructuring of the Group entails risk.
- The Group’s risk management strategies and techniques may be unsuccessful
- There is always a risk of litigation arising from the Group’s activities.
This list of principal risks and uncertainties should not be considered as exhaustive and other factors, not yet identified, or not
currently considered material, may adversely affect the Group.
Macro-economic and geopolitical risk
Ireland depends materially on financial support on the International Monetary Fund (“IMF”), the European Union
(“EU”) and the European Central Bank (“ECB”) and may be adversely affected by the conditions attached to the
financial support provided by these institutions.
On 28 November 2010, the Irish Government announced that it had agreed in principle to the provision of up to € 85 billion of
financial support to Ireland by Member States of the EU through the European Financial Stability Fund (“EFSF”) and the European
Financial Stability Mechanism (“ESFM”); bilateral loans from the UK, Sweden and Denmark and the IMFs Extended Fund Facility
(“EFF”), in each case on the basis of specified conditions. It was agreed that € 17.5 billion of the € 85 billion package would be
contributed by Ireland.
The support is dependent upon the implementation of further restructuring, and the restoration of the long-term viability, of the
62
financial services sector, including by deleveraging and restructuring. (Whilst the deleveraging in AIB is primarily focussed on
non-core activity within the Group, there is a risk that a failure to achieve the targets set for AIB may result in core assets being
deleveraged which would adversely affect future financial performance).
A failure to meet the specified conditions of the financial support and achieve the associated fiscal targets on time could lead to a
termination of the financial support which could have a material adverse effect on the financial sector in Ireland and on the Group.
The Group’s access to funding and liquidity is impacted by the financial instability within the Eurozone
Economic, monetary and political conditions remain unstable within a number of the Eurozone members. There is a risk that
EU/Eurozone members may not be able to support their debt burdens and meet future financial obligations, which may then be
reflected in a further downgrade of sovereign credit ratings. This would adversely affect the cost and availability of funding to EU
Member States and European banks.
The Irish sovereign ratings have a direct impact on the Group’s rating. The Group’s credit rating is key in attracting and retaining
deposits. Any further future downgrade could threaten the Group’s liquidity and funding including its deposit base and might also
delay any future access to wholesale funding markets.
Contagion risks could disrupt the markets and adversely affect the Group’s financial condition and results of its
operations
Contagion risk to the markets in which the Group operates continues and dislocations caused by the interdependency of financial
market participants continues to be a source of material risk to the Group’s financial condition and results of operations.
The Group has been exposed to increased counterparty risk as a result of the failure and risk of failure of financial institutions
during the global economic crisis. Reductions in the perceived creditworthiness of one or more corporate borrowers, or financial
institutions, or the financial services industry generally have led to market-wide liquidity problems, losses and defaults.
Such reductions in creditworthiness and defaults could lead to further losses and further defaults by such borrowers and/or
institutions, which could adversely affect the Group’s results, financial condition and future prospects.
Another source of potential contagion risk relates to the Euro. The withdrawal of one or more countries from the Eurozone, or
the disorderly break-up of the Euro would have a significant adverse effect on the financial stability of Europe, and with it that of the
Irish financial system and Irish banks. The Irish banking system may also be significantly affected should the upcoming referendum in
Ireland on the proposed EU Fiscal Treaty not be supported by the Irish people. Both scenarios could lead to a significant loss of
customers deposits, as well as creating some immediate operational and business hurdles for the Group which could threaten its viability.
Constraints on liquidity and market reaction to factors affecting Ireland and the Irish economy have created an
exceptionally challenging environment for the management of the Group’s liquidity
AIB has been operating in an exceptionally challenging environment for the last three years. Wholesale market conditions have
restricted the Group’s funding access to short duration, mainly secured funding. Customer accounts have been affected by current
adverse international sentiment towards the Irish sovereign and banking sector.
The continuing availability of customer deposits to fund the Group’s loan portfolio is subject to factors outside the Group’s
control, such as a loss of confidence of depositors in the Irish economy, the financial services industry or the Group, ratings
downgrades, significant further deterioration in economic conditions and the availability and extent of deposit guarantees (including as
a result of regulatory changes to deposit guarantee schemes and/or changes to the Eligible Liabilities Guarantee (“ELG” Scheme)).
These were all factors in the loss of deposits experienced during 2011. Any further loss of confidence in the Group, or in banking
businesses generally, could lead to a further losses of deposits over a short period of time.
To meet its funding requirements, the Group has accessed a range of central bank liquidity facilities, including certain additional
liquidity schemes introduced by central banks for market participants during periods of dislocation in the funding markets. This has
included the switch of short term ECB drawings into 3 year Long Term Refinance Operation (“LTRO”) of December 2011. In
accessing central bank and other secured lending facilities, the Group has relied significantly on its Qualifying Liquid Assets and
Contingent Funding capacity.
The implementation of the Financial Measures Programme, which requires each domestic Irish Bank to meet liquidity
requirements including, but not limited to, a loan deposit ratio of 122.5% by December 2013, will require deleveraging measures such
as the run off and disposal of non-core assets.
The curtailment or non-extension of the central bank liquidity facilities currently relied upon by the Group, or the Group’s
inability to access such secured facilities, should it exhaust its stock of available collateral, would require the Group to seek alternative
sources of funding, including further support by the Government.
The Group’s markets, particularly for retail deposits, are at risk from greater competition
The Group faces intense and increased competition for retail deposits across all of its markets. In the absence of wholesale funding, the
Group needs to retain and grow its retail deposits to support future growth. While the Group believes it is positioned to compete
effectively, there can be no assurance that existing or increased competition will not adversely affect the Group in one or more of the
markets in which it operates.
63
Risk management - 1. Risk factors
The Group’s business may be adversely affected by a further deterioration in economic and market conditions
The deterioration of the Irish and UK economies has significantly adversely affected the Group’s financial condition and performance
in recent years. Although, following a very deep recession, economic activity had regained some momentum both in Ireland and
internationally, global activity has weakened again.
A renewed downturn in the performance of the Irish economy or other relevant economies could further adversely affect the
Group’s financial condition and results. This could include further reductions in business activity, lower demand for the Group’s
products and services, reduced availability of credit, increased funding costs, decreased asset values, and additional write-downs and
impairment charges. This would have a material adverse effect on the Group’s plans for recovery and deleveraging.
The Group’s financial performance may also be affected by future recovery rates on assets and the historical assumptions
underlying asset recovery rates may no longer be accurate, given the general economic instability.
General economic conditions continue to be very challenging for our mortgage and other lending to customers
and increase the risk of payment default
The Group remains heavily exposed to the Irish property market, notwithstanding the transfer of € 20 billion loans and receivables to
NAMA since 2010. The high level of unemployment, coupled with a general reduction in disposable income (including increased
taxes and pay reductions), has had an adverse impact on borrowers’ ability to repay loans and mortgage arrears on residential properties
are increasing.
Furthermore, in 2011 a number of initiatives and regulations were introduced following the Inter-Departmental Working Group
on Mortgage Arrears and Personal Debt, including the publication of the ‘Keane Report’, the Code of Conduct on Mortgage Arrears,
the Consumer Protection Code and Small & Medium Enterprises Code and the requirement for a Mortgage Arrears Resolution
Strategy. Collectively, these have led to a need for more sophisticated mortgage arrears management strategies in particular the
application of forbearance measures which were agreed for introduction in 2012. The impact of these measures has yet to be seen, but
it does increase the risk of potential loan losses which the Group would not otherwise incur if it leads to a lack of willingness (as
opposed to ability) to repay loans. Furthermore, there is a risk that the proposed reforms of the Irish Bankruptcy Laws may result in
more customers choosing this as a debt solution.
Overall there is an increased risk of further impairment to the Group’s residential mortgage and commercial property loan
portfolios, leading to higher costs, additional write-downs and lower profitability for the Group.
Depressed Irish property prices may give rise to increased losses for the Group
Since the beginning of 2007, the Irish property market has undergone a material negative correction both in property prices and
lending activity.
The Group’s exposure to credit risk is exacerbated when the collateral it holds cannot be realised or is liquidated at prices that are
not sufficient to recover the full amount of the loan or other exposure due to the Group. This is most likely to occur during periods
of illiquidity and depressed asset valuations, such as those currently being experienced.
Any such losses could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s future performance and results. In addition, exposure to
particularly vulnerable sectors of the Irish and/or UK economies, in particular property and construction, could result in reduced
valuations of the assets over which the Group has taken security and reduced recoverability.
Furthermore, an increase in interest rates in the Group’s main markets may lead, amongst other things, to further declines in
collateral values, higher repayment costs and reduced recoverability. Together with the aforementioned risks this may adversely affect
the Group’s earnings or require an increase in the expected cumulative impairment charge for the Group.
The Group faces market risks, including non-trading interest rate risk
In common with other banks, some of the most significant market risks the Group faces are interest rate and foreign exchange risks.
Changes in interest rate levels, yield curves and spreads may affect the interest rate margin realised between lending and borrowing
costs, the effect of which may be heightened during periods of liquidity stress, such as those experienced in recent times.
Changes in foreign exchange rates, particularly in the Euro-Sterling rate, affect the value of assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies and the reported earnings of the Group’s non-Irish subsidiaries and may affect income from foreign exchange
dealing, which could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s financial condition and operations.
Non-trading interest rate risk is defined as the Group’s sensitivity to earnings volatility in its non-trading activity arising from
movements in interest rates. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors beyond the Group’s control, including the interest rate
and other monetary policies of governments and central banks in the jurisdictions in which it operates.
Non-trading interest rate risk in retail, commercial and corporate banking activities can arise from a variety of sources, including
when the relevant assets and liabilities and off-balance sheet instruments have different re-pricing dates and unfavourable movements
in interest rates could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s financial condition and operations.
64
Macro-prudential, regulatory and legal risks to our business model
The Group may be affected by new measures introduced by the Irish Government to support the Irish economy
On 31 March 2011, the Minister for Finance outlined the Irish Government’s policy in relation to the restructuring of the Irish
banking sector. The Credit Institutions (Stabilisation) Act 2010 requires the Board to act in a manner that is aligned to the interests of
the State in the performance of their duties, having regard to public interest considerations specified in that Act.
The Group is subject to rigorous and demanding Government supervision and oversight
As a result of the recapitalisations of AIB by the Irish Government, AIB is subject to a set of obligations outlined under a number of
Subscription and Placing Agreements impacting on the Group’s governance, remuneration, operations and lending activities. These
obligations are in addition to certain commitments and restrictions to the operation of the Group’s business under the CIFS Scheme,
the NAMA Programme and the ELG Scheme, all of which may serve to limit the Group’s operations and place significant demands
on the reporting systems and resources of the Group.
The Group may be subject to the risk of having insufficient capital to meet increased minimum regulatory
requirements
The Group’s target capital requirements as determined by the Central Bank under its Prudential Capital Assessment Review
(“PCAR”) are currently a core tier 1 ratio of 10.5% in the base scenario and of 6% in a stress scenario,(excluding a requirement for
an additional protective buffer). As at December 2011 the Group achieved a core tier 1 ratio of 17.9% which is significantly above the
required level.
AIB has carried out extensive forward-looking stress tests on its capital adequacy position, including two EBA stress tests carried
out in the second half of 2011, the latter of which had a threshold of 9% core tier 1 ratio and included an additional stress on
sovereign exposures. The published results of both EBA stress tests confirmed that AIB did not require additional capital.
However, given the levels of uncertainty in the current economic climate, there is the possibility that further losses over and above
what is currently forecast could materialise. Were such losses to be significantly greater than currently forecast, the Group’s capital posi-
tion could be eroded to the extent that it has insufficient capital to meet the regulatory requirements.
The Group’s business activities must comply with increasing levels of regulation introduced as a result of
failings in financial markets
In 2011 there was an unprecedented level of new regulations issued by both by the Central Bank of Ireland and the EU, through a
number of new or revised Codes and Directives:
- The Corporate Governance Code for Credit Institutions and Insurance Undertakings was introduced on 1 January 2011 and it
sets out the minimum requirements an institution must meet to promote strong and effective governance;
- The Code of Conduct on Mortgage Arrears came into effect in June 2011, providing increased protection to the consumer
particularly those in arrears situations;
- The new Fitness and Probity standards and the revised Minimum Competency Code became effective from 1 December 2011.
They both require specified minimum standards of competence for designated employees and require a person to whom they
apply to undergo an annual Fit and Proper assessment;
- The revised Code of Conduct for Business Lending to Small and Medium Enterprises offers added protection to those in
financial difficulties. It came into effect on 1 January 2012 with consideration given until the 30 June 2012 for its full
implementation; and
- The revised Consumer Protection Code came into effect on the 1 January 2012 with consideration given until the 30 June 2012
for full compliance. A major change programme is underway across the Group to implement the new requirements spanning all
business areas, processes and systems.
Together with the high level of existing regulations, the challenge of managing regulatory compliance increased substantially in 2011.
The changing regulatory standards have posed a concomitant demand on the Group in terms of the deployment of business and IT
resources which is expected to continue in 2012. Delivering this level of change has placed and will continue to place added risk on
the organisation, including the challenge to meet tight delivery timelines in the face of competing priorities and resource demands.
The Group is subject to financial services laws, regulations and policies in each location in which it operates. Changes in
supervision and regulation, in particular in or applying to Ireland has and will continue to have a material impact on the Group’s
business, products and services offered and the value of its assets.
Future changes in government policy, central bank monetary authority policy, EU/Eurozone policies, legislation or regulation or
their interpretation relevant to the financial services industry in the markets in which the Group operates may adversely affect its
65
Risk management - 1. Risk factors
product range, distribution channels, funding sources, capital requirements and consequently, reported results and financing
requirements. Any changes in the regulation of selling practices and solvency, funding and capital requirements could have a significant
adverse effect on the Group’s results of operations, financial condition and future prospects.
Furthermore, new regulatory obligations regarding functional and operational arrangements within the Group may also have an
adverse impact on the Group’s results, financial conditions and prospects.
The Group’s participation in the NAMA Programme gives rise to certain residual risks
In 2011 € 1.8 billion in loans and receivables were transferred to NAMA. This is in addition to the € 18.2 billion transferred in 2010.
The residual risks relating to this transaction include:
-
Section 93 of the NAMA Act allows NAMA to require Participating Institutions to repay overpayments on NAMA assets. Any
such claw-backs and repayments could have an adverse effect on the Group;
Section 135 of the NAMA Act and Clause 9.2 of the Acquisition Terms and Conditions directs the Group to provide to NAMA a
series of indemnities relating to the transferred assets. Any indemnity payment could have an adverse effect on the Group;
Section 225 of the NAMA Act provides, that on the dissolution or restructuring of NAMA, that the Minister may require that a
report and accounts be prepared of NAMA’s accounts. In the event that NAMA shows that an aggregate loss has been incurred
during the period since its establishment, the Minister may impose a surcharge on AIB, as a participating institution (by way of
enactment of additional legislation). The surcharge shall be apportioned to each participating institution on the basis of the book
value of the bank assets acquired from each participating institution and shall not exceed the amount of the underlying loss, if any,
incurred by NAMA. Any surcharge due to be paid by a participating institution in accordance with the Act may not exceed
100% of the corporation tax, if any, due and payable by that participating institution for the accounting period(s). No surcharge
will become payable until either (a) 10 years after the passing of the Act or (b) NAMA is dissolved or restructured, or there is a
material alteration of NAMA’s functions, whichever last occurs; and
Potential credit exposure to NAMA arising from the senior and subordinated NAMA bonds acquired by the Group in
consideration for the transfer of assets to NAMA.
-
-
-
Any of these events may serve to limit the Group’s operations and could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s results, financial
condition and future prospects.
The Group may be adversely affected by further austerity and budget measures introduced by the Irish
Government
The current and future budgetary and taxation policy of Ireland and other measures adopted by Ireland to meet its obligations to the
EU, the ECB or the IMF may have an adverse impact on borrowers’ ability to repay their loans and, as a result, the Group’s business.
The value of certain financial instruments (including the contingent capital instrument and NAMA
senior bonds) recorded at fair value is determined using financial models incorporating assumptions,
judgements and estimates that may change over time or may ultimately not turn out to be accurate and the
value realised by the Group for these assets may be materially different from the current or estimated fair value
Under IFRS, the Group recognises at fair value: (i) derivative financial instruments; (ii) financial instruments at fair value through
profit or loss; (iii) certain hedged financial assets and financial liabilities; and (iv) financial assets classified as available for sale. The best
evidence of fair value is quoted prices in an active market. Generally, to establish the fair value of these instruments, the Group relies
on quoted market prices or, where the market for a financial instrument is not sufficiently active, internal valuation models that use
observable market data.
Where quoted prices on active markets are not available, the Group uses valuation techniques which require it to make
assumptions, judgements and estimates to establish fair value. In common with other financial institutions, these internal valuation
models are complex, and the assumptions, judgements and estimates, the Group is required to make often relate to matters that are
inherently uncertain, such as expected cash flows, the ability of borrowers to service debt, appropriate credit spreads, residential and
commercial property price appreciation and depreciation, and relative levels of defaults.
Such assumptions, judgements and estimates may need to be brought up to date to reflect changing facts, trends and market
conditions. The resulting change in the fair values of the financial instruments has had, and could continue to have, an adverse effect
66
on the Group’s results and financial condition. The financial markets have experienced stressed conditions, where steep falls in
perceived or actual asset values have been accompanied by a severe reduction in market liquidity.
These stress conditions resulted in the Group recording significant fair value write-downs in the preceding four years. Valuations in
future periods, reflecting then-prevailing market conditions, may result in significant changes in the fair values of the Group’s
exposures, even in respect of exposures such as credit market exposures, for which it has previously recorded fair value write-downs.
In addition, the value ultimately realised by the Group may be materially different from the current or estimated fair value.
Any of these factors could require the Group to recognise further fair value write-downs or recognise impairment charges, any of
which may adversely affect its results, financial condition and future prospects.
The Group’s deferred tax assets depend substantially on the generation of future profits over an extended
number of years. Adverse changes to tax legislation, regulatory requirements or accounting standards could
impact capital ratios
The Group’s business performance may not reach the level assumed in the projections supporting the carrying value of the deferred
tax assets. Lower than anticipated profitability within Ireland and the UK would lengthen the anticipated period over which the
Group’s Irish and UK tax losses would be used.
The value of the deferred tax assets related to the unused tax losses constitutes substantially all of the total deferred tax assets
recognised in the Group’s statement of financial position. A significant reduction in anticipated profit, or changes in tax legislation,
regulatory requirements, accounting standards or relevant practices, could adversely affect the basis for full recognition of the value of
these losses, which would adversely affect the Group’s results and financial condition, including capital and future prospects.
New capital adequacy rules, consistent with Basel III principles, are proposed within the EU draft Capital Requirements
Regulation (part of the Capital Requirements Directive IV package). Assuming implementation in substantially unchanged form, the
new rules will, inter alia, require the Group to deduct from its Common Equity Capital, the value of most of the Group’s deferred tax
assets, including all deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses.The deduction is likely to be phased in evenly over 5 years (20%
per annum) starting at 1 January 2014.
Risks related to our business operations, governance and internal control systems
The Group is subject to inherent credit risks in respect of customers and counterparties which could adversely
affect the Group’s results, financial condition and future prospects
Risks arising from changes in credit quality and the recoverability of loans and other amounts due from customers and counterparties
are inherent in a wide range of the Group’s businesses. In addition to the credit exposures arising from loans to individuals, SMEs and
Corporates, the Group also has an exposure to credit risk arising from loans to financial institutions, its trading portfolio, available for
sale and held to maturity financial investments, derivatives and from off-balance sheet guarantees and commitments.
The Group has been exposed to increased counterparty risk as a result of the risk of financial institution failures during the global
economic crisis.
The Group is also exposed to credit risks relating to sovereign issuers. Concerns in respect of Ireland and other sovereign issuers,
including other European Union Member States, have adversely affected and could continue to adversely affect the financial
performance of the Group.
The Group faces heightened operational and reputational risks
The Group faces a heightened operational risk profile given the current economic environment and in the context of taking forward
the significant organisational restructuring programme including the integration of EBS, Anglo Deposits and rollout of an
organisational severance programme.
One of its key operational risks is people risk. The Group’s efforts to restore and sustain the stability of its business on a long-term
basis depend in part on the availability of skilled management and the continued service of key members of staff both at its head
office and at each of its business units. There have been changes in the membership of the Board and Senior Executives in the Group
including the appointment of a permanent CEO in December 2011. Failure by the Group to staff its day-to-day operations
appropriately, or the further loss of one or more key Senior Executives, with a failure to replace them in a satisfactory and timely
manner, could have an adverse effect on the Group’s results, financial condition and prospects.
Under the terms of the recapitalisation of AIB by the Irish Government and the ELG Scheme, the Group is also required to
comply with certain executive pay and compensation arrangements. As a result of these restrictions, the Group cannot guarantee that
it will be able to attract, retain and remunerate highly skilled and qualified personnel competitively with its peers. If the Group fails to
attract and appropriately develop, motivate and retain highly skilled and qualified personnel, its business and results of operations may
be adversely affected.
Implementation of the organisational restructuring programme poses a concomitant demand on the Group in terms of the
67
Risk management - 1. Risk factors
deployment of business and IT resources which is expected to continue in 2012. Delivering this level of change has placed and will
continue to place added risk on the organisation, including the challenge to meet tight delivery timelines in the face of competing
priorities and resource demands.
Negative public or industry opinion can result from the actual, or perceived, manner in which the Group conducts its business
activities or from the restructuring of the Group. Negative public or industry opinion may adversely affect the Group’s ability to keep
and attract customers and, in particular, corporate and retail depositors, the loss of which would, in each case, adversely affect the
Group’s results, financial condition and prospects.
Any weakness in the Group’s risk controls or loss mitigation actions in respect of operational and reputational risk could have a
material adverse effect on the Group’s results, financial condition and operations.
The restructuring of the Group entails risks
The Group’s strategy is to establish a new core bank with a restructured balance sheet. This will be achieved through the progressive
disposal and winding down of non-core assets through its deleveraging plan with a target loan to deposit ratio of 122.5% by
December 2013.
In May 2011, the Group dismantled its former divisional structure which was replaced with a ‘one bank’ model comprising the
following customer facing units:
− Personal & Business Banking;
− Corporate, Institutional and Commercial Banking; and
− AIB (UK) – which continues to be managed as a separate unit.
In addition, the Group also embarked on the integration of EBS Limited (formerly EBS Building Society) and the former Anglo
Irish Bank retail deposit book.
The Group’s business and organisational restructuring represents a significant change programme and brings with it a number of key
execution risks, including impacting on:
− labour relations as a consequence of the introduction and implementation of a severance programme;
− employees as the organisation transitions to a significantly smaller and less diversified institution; and
− the implementation of the cost reduction and business rationalisation programme currently being developed by the Group
to re-align its cost base and become a more focused and streamlined organisation. This may result in the Group incurring
significant additional costs (including incremental redundancy costs). Any such programme will take time to implement and
may negatively impact on the profitability of the Group.
Given the possibility of the imposition of conditions by the European Commission, in connection with the approval of the
Group’s EU restructuring plan, there can be no assurance that the Group will be able to implement its cost reduction and business
rationalisation programme, in the way currently envisaged, which could adversely affect the Group’s results, operations, financial
condition and future prospects.
The Group’s risk management strategies and techniques may be unsuccessful
The Group is exposed to a number of material risks as categorised and outlined above. In order to minimise these risks, the Group has
implemented comprehensive risk management strategies. Although the Group invests substantial time and effort in its risk
management strategies and techniques, there is a risk that this may fail to fully mitigate the risks in some circumstances, particularly if
confronted with risks that were not identified or anticipated.
Some of the Group’s methods for managing risk are based upon observation of historical market behaviour. Where this is so, the
Group applies statistical techniques to these observations to quantify its risk exposures. If circumstances arise that the Group did not
identify or anticipate in developing its models, the losses could be greater than expected.
Furthermore, the Group’s quantifications of risk do not take all risks into account. If the Group’s measures to assess and mitigate
risk prove insufficient, the Group may experience material unexpected losses.
There is always a risk of litigation arising from Group activities
The Group has an inherent litigation risk as a result of routine business activities. The majority of cases encountered are relatively
minor and are addressed in a ‘business as usual’ manner. However, occasionally more material issues can arise. Should such issues result
in litigation, this may have an adverse impact on results and financial conditions, particularly if any cases involve customer detriment
and subsequent redress.

Risk management - 2. Framework
Introduction
The Group remains adversely affected by the economic and financial crisis, at a global and European level and specifically in terms of
how it has impacted on the Irish financial system in general and the Group in particular. In these circumstances, the Group’s risk
profile remains at an elevated level.The key risk factors to which the Group is exposed are set out below.The governance and
organisation framework through which the Group manages and seeks where possible to mitigate these risks is described thereafter.
2.1 Risk Management Framework
The Group assumes a variety of risks in undertaking its business activities. Risk is defined as any event that could damage the core
earnings capacity of the Group, increase earnings or cash-flow volatility, reduce capital, threaten business reputation or viability, and/or
breach regulatory or legal obligations. AIB has adopted an Enterprise Risk Management approach to identifying, assessing and
managing risks, the core aspects of which are described below.
2.2 Risk Appetite
The Group’s risk appetite is defined as the maximum amount of risk that the Group is prepared to accept in order to deliver on its
strategic and business objectives. In July 2011, the Board updated the Risk Appetite Statement (“RAS”) which set out key limits
across the Group’s material risks and undertook a comprehensive review and update more recently in March 2012 with the inclusion
of qualitative as well as quantitative risk appetite statements which outline the risk limits associated with the strategy of the Group. The
latest RAS is fully aligned with the integrated Financial Plan (the ‘Plan’) for the period 2012-14. The number of limits being
monitored has been significantly expanded, commensurate with the key measures of viability contained within the Plan and consistent
with the financial constraints, requirements and targets imposed by key external stakeholders. The Group’s risk profile is measured
against its risk appetite on a monthly basis and reported to the Executive Risk Committee and Board Risk Committee. Material
breaches of risk appetite, if they occur, are escalated by the Board to the Central Bank.
2.3 Risk governance and risk management organisation
The Board has ultimate responsibility for the governance of all risk taking activity in the Group. Senior Managers are accountable for
risk taking within the Board approved risk appetite. The Group has adopted a ‘three lines of defence’ framework in the delineation of
accountabilities for risk governance.
Under the three lines of defence model, primary responsibility for risk management lies with line management. The Risk
Management Function provides the second line of defence, providing independent oversight and challenge to business line managers.
The third line of defence is the Group Internal Audit function which provides independent assurance to the Audit Committee of the
Board on the effectiveness of the system of internal control.

Committee
The role of the Board, the Audit Committee, and the Board Risk Committee (“BRC”) is set out in the section on Corporate
Governance.
The Executive Committee (“ExCo”) comprises the senior executive managers of the Group and manages the strategic business risks
of the Group. It establishes the business strategy and risk appetite within which the risk management function operates. The Executive
Risk Committee (“ERC”) is the principal executive forum for the review and challenge of enterprise-wide risk management and
control. Membership of the ERC is the same as ExCo and the principal duties of the ERC are to:
- Continuously review the effectiveness of the Group’s risk frameworks and policies;
- Monitor and review the Group’s risk profile, risk trends, risk concentrations and policy exceptions; and
- Review all breaches of Board or ExCo approved risk appetite and limits.
The ERC acts as the ultimate parent body of a number of other risk and control committees, namely the Group Credit Committee,
the Credit Risk Measurement Committee, the Stress Testing Steering Committee and the Asset and Liability Management Committee
(“ALCo”).
The Mortgage Arrears Resolution Strategy (“MARS”) Steering Committee is responsible for overseeing and challenging progress
in relation to the implementation of AIB’s Mortgage Arrears Resolution Strategy and for co-ordinating the mortgage arrears
resolution activities across the Group. This committee evaluates proposals associated with plan implementation before forwarding
them, when and as appropriate to the ExCo and the Board for approval. The Committee is chaired by the Chief Executive Officer
(“CEO”) and the Chief Risk Officer (“CRO”) and Chief Credit Officer (“CCO”) are members of the committee.
The Deleveraging Committee is responsible for the delivery of the Group Deleveraging Plan and the management of all
deleveraging transactions involving the Non-Core assets of the Group. Its objective is to oversee the deleveraging of the loan book in
a prudent and efficient manner.
70
Risk management - 2. Framework
Risk Governance - Committees (continued)
Individuals and Functions
The role of certain key officers within the Group’s risk management framework is described below.
Chief Risk Officer
The Chief Risk Officer (“CRO”) has independent oversight of the Group’s enterprise-wide risk management activities across all risk
types. During 2011, the role of the CRO was filled in an acting capacity pending the appointment of a CRO on a full time basis
which is well advanced.The CRO is a member of ExCo and reports independently to the CEO and the Chairman of the Board Risk
Committee.The CRO’s responsibilities include:
- Providing second line assurance to Senior Management and the Board across all risk types;
- Developing and maintaining the Enterprise Risk Management framework;
- Providing independent reporting to the Board on all risk issues, including the risk appetite and risk profile of the Group; and
- Providing independent assurance to the CEO and Board that material risks are identified across all risk types and managed by line
management and that the Group is in compliance with enterprise risk policies, processes and limits.
Group Internal Auditor
Group Internal Audit (“GIA”) is an independent evaluation and appraisal function reporting to the Board through the Audit
Committee. The role of the Head of GIA has been filled in an acting capacity since July 2011 pending the appointment of a Head of
GIA on a full time basis. A permanent appointee is expected to commence in May 2012. GIA acts as the third line of defence in the
Group’s risk governance organisation and provides assurance to the Audit Committee on the adequacy, effectiveness and sustainability
of the governance, risk management and control framework throughout the Group, including the activities carried out by other
control functions. The results of GIA audits are reported quarterly to the Audit Committee, which monitors both resolution of audit
issues and progress in the delivery of the audit plan.
2.4 Risk identification and assessment process
Risk is identified and assessed throughout the Group through a combination of top-down and bottom-up risk assessment processes.
Top-down risk assessment processes seek to identify the material risks facing the Group, both in the context of the Group’s agreed
risk appetite and in the identification of new and emerging threats.Top-down risk assessments are carried out on at least a six
monthly basis and are reviewed by the ERC and the Board Risk Committee. These assessments form critical inputs into the Group’s
Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (“ICAAP”).
Bottom-up risk assessment processes are more granular, focusing on risk events that have been identified through specific qualitative
or quantitative measurement tools. More information on the key bottom-up risk assessment techniques across material risk types can
be found in the individual risk sections below.
2.5 Stress and scenario testing
The Group’s risk identification and assessment framework described above is supported by a framework of stress testing, scenario and
sensitivity analysis and reverse stress testing that seeks to ensure that risk assessment is dynamic and forward looking and considers not
only existing risks but also potential and emerging threats.The Group undertakes a regular programme of stress testing across all its
material risks to meet internal and regulatory requirements. In addition, ad-hoc stress tests are undertaken as required to inform
strategic decision making.
2.6 Future developments
The Group recognises the need to make further enhancements to its risk management arrangements given the heightened external
risk environment, the increasing scope and intensity of the regulatory environment and the further operational transformation upon
which the Group has embarked in 2012.These further enhancements include :
- Embedding of the revised risk appetite and the reporting of risk profile against risk appetite throughout the organisation;
-
- Establishment of a Compliance Committee and an Operational Risk Committee reporting to the ERC to oversee the ongoing
management of compliance with regulations and implementation of new regulations, and operational risk trends and controls
across the organisation respectively;
Implementing and embedding a revised risk management framework and policy architecture;
- Ongoing review of the nature and scale of the Group’s risk governance arrangements as the Group pursues its deleveraging and
strategic transformation agendas; and
- Ongoing improvements in the risk management and internal control environment in line with internal and external stakeholder
requirements.

Risk management - 3. Individual risk types
This section provides details of the Group’s exposure to, and risk management of, the following individual risk types which have been
identified through the Group’s risk assessment process:
3.1 Credit risk;
3.2 Liquidity risk;*
3.3 Market risk;*
3.4 Non-trading interest rate risk;*
3.5 Structural foreign exchange risk;*
3.6 Operational risk;
3.7 Regulatory compliance risk;
3.8 Pension risk;
3.9 Discontinued operations - credit risk; and
3.10 Parent company risk information
3.1 Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that the Group will incur losses as a result of a customer or counterparty being unable or unwilling to meet a
commitment that it has entered into. Credit exposure arises in relation to lending activities to customers and banks, including
‘off-balance sheet’ guarantees and commitments, the trading portfolio, financial investments available for sale, and derivatives.
Concentrations in particular portfolio sectors, such as property can impact the overall level of credit risk.
The credit risk disclosures in this section are aligned, where appropriate, with the Central Bank of Ireland (“CBI”) guidelines
issued in December 2011.
Credit exposure
The following table sets out the maximum exposure to credit risk that arises within the Group and distinguishes between those assets
that are carried in the statement of financial position at amortised cost and those carried at fair value.

3.1 Credit risk - credit exposure
Collateral*
The perceived strength of a borrower’s repayment capacity is the primary factor in granting a loan, however, AIB uses various
approaches to help mitigate risks relating to individual credits including transaction structure, collateral and guarantees. Collateral or
guarantees are required as a secondary source of repayment in the event of the borrower’s default. The main types of collateral for
loans and receivables to customers are as follows:
- Home mortgages: The Group takes collateral in support of lending transactions for the purchase of residential property.
- Corporate/commercial lending: For property related lending, it is normal practice to take a charge over the property being
financed. This includes both investment and development properties.
- Non-property related lending: For non-property related lending collateral typically includes a charge over business assets such as
stock and debtors but also include property in the larger cases. In some circumstances, personal guarantees supported by a lien
over personal assets are also taken as security.
Very occasionally, credit derivatives are purchased to hedge credit risk. Current levels are minimal and their use is subject to the
normal credit approval process.
The Group enters into master netting agreements for derivatives with certain counterparties, to ensure that in the event of default,
all amounts outstanding with those counterparties will be settled on a net basis.
Set out below is the fair value of collateral at 31 December 2011 for financial assets detailed in the maximum exposure to credit risk
table on the previous page.
Derivatives*
Derivative financial instruments are shown on the statement of financial position at their fair value. Those with a positive fair value are
reported as assets which at 31 December 2011 amounted to € 3,046 million (2010: € 3,315 million) and those with a negative fair
value are reported as liabilities which at 31 December 2011 amounted to € 3,843 million (2010: € 3,020 million).
The Group has a number of ISDA Master Agreements (netting agreements) in place which may allow it to net the termination
values of derivative contracts upon the occurrence of an event of default with respect to its counterparties. The enforcement of
netting agreements would potentially reduce the statement of financial position carrying amount of derivative assets and liabilities by
€ 1,369 million (2010: € 1,687 million). The Group has Credit Support Annexes (“CSAs”) in place which provide collateral for
derivative contracts. At 31 December 2011, € 1,904 million (2010: € 932 million) of CSAs are included within financial assets and
€ 612 million (2010: € 542 million) of CSAs are included within financial liabilities. Additionally, the Group has agreements in place
which may allow it to net the termination values of cross currency swaps upon the occurrence of an event of default.
Loans and receivables to banks*
Interbank placings, including central banks, is largely carried out on an unsecured basis apart from reverse repurchase agreements.
At 31 December 2011, the Group has received collateral with a fair value of € 55 million on a loan with a carrying value of
€ 59 million (2010: Nil).

3.1 Credit risk - credit exposure (continued)
Collateral* (continued)
Loans and receivable to customers (continued)*
While AIB Group considers a borrower’s repayment capacity is paramount in granting any loan, the Group also takes collateral in
support of lending transactions for the purchase of residential property. There are clear policies in place which set out the type of
property which is acceptable as collateral and the loan to property value relationship. Collateral valuations are required at the time of
origination of each residential mortgage. The fair value at 31 December 2011 is based on the property values at origination and
applying the CSO (Ireland) and Nationwide (UK) indices to these values to take account of price movements in the interim.
Please also refer to additional information in relation to loan-to-value (“LTV”) and Days Past Due profiles for residential
mortgages in 3.1 Credit Risk – Credit profile of residential mortgages.
Non-mortgage portfolios
For non mortgage lending, the Group views the perceived strength of a borrower’s capacity to repay as the primary factor in granting
a loan. Collateral will also be taken where available and in non mortgage lending will typically include a charge over the business
assets such as stock and debtors. In some cases, a charge over property collateral or a personal guarantee supported by a lien over
personal assets may also be taken. The value of collateral is assessed at origination of the loan or in the case of criticised loans, when
testing for impairment.
However, as the Group does not capture the collateral value on its loan systems, it is not possible to quantify the fair value of non
impaired loans on an on-going basis at portfolio level. It should be noted that when testing a loan for impairment, the present value
of future cashflows, including the value of collateral held, and the likely time taken to realise any security is estimated. A provision is
raised for the difference between this present value and the carrying value of the loan. Therefore, for non mortgage impaired loans, the
net exposure after provision would be indicative of the fair value.
NAMA senior bonds*
AIB holds a guarantee from the Irish Government in respect of NAMA senior bonds which at 31 December 2011 have a carrying
value of € 19,856 million (2010: € 7,869 million).
Financial investments available for sale*

Risk management - 3. Individual risk types
3.1 Credit risk
Credit risk management
Credit risk on lending activities to customers and banks*
AIB Group lends to personal, retail customers, commercial entities and banks. Credit risk arises on the drawn amount of loans and
advances, but also as a result of loan commitments, such as undrawn loans and overdrafts, and other credit related commitments such
as guarantees, performance bonds and letters of credit. These credit related commitments are subject to the same credit assessment and
management as loans and advances.
Credit risk also arises in the Group’s available for sale portfolio where counterparties are banks, sovereigns or structured debt, e.g.
residential mortgage backed securities. These credit risks are identified and managed in line with the credit management framework of
the Group.
Credit risk on derivatives*
The credit risk on derivative contracts is the risk that the Group’s counterparty in the contract defaults prior to maturity at a time
when AIB has a claim on the counterparty under the contract. AIB would then have to replace the contract at the current market
rate, which may result in a loss. Derivatives are used by AIB to meet customer needs, to reduce interest rate risk, currency risk and in
some cases, credit risk, and also for proprietary trading purposes. Risks associated with derivatives are managed from a credit, market
and operational perspective. The credit exposure is treated in the same way as other types of credit exposure and is included in
customer limits. The total credit exposure consists partly of the current replacement cost and partly of the potential future exposure.
The potential future exposure is an estimation, which reflects possible changes in market values during the remaining life of the
individual contract. The Group uses a simulation tool to estimate possible changes in future market values and computes the credit
exposure to a high level of statistical significance.
Country risk*
Credit risk is also influenced by country risk, where country risk is defined as the risk that circumstances arise in which customers and
other counterparties within a given country may be unable to fulfil or are precluded from fulfilling their obligations to the Group due
to economic or political circumstances.
Country risk is managed by setting appropriate maximum risk limits to reflect each country’s overall creditworthiness. These limits
are informed by independent credit information from international sources and supported by periodic visits to relevant countries.
Risks and limits are monitored on an ongoing basis.
Settlement risk*
Settlement risk arises in any situation where a payment in cash, securities or equities is made in the expectation of a corresponding
receipt in cash, securities or equities. The settlement risk on many transactions, particularly those involving securities and equities, is
substantially mitigated when effected via assured payment systems, or on a delivery-versus-payment basis. Each counterparty is assessed
in the credit process and clearing agents, correspondent banks and custodians are selected with a view to minimising settlement risk.
The most significant portion of the Group’s settlement risk exposure arises from foreign exchange transactions. Daily settlement limits
are established for each counterparty to cover the aggregate of all settlement risk arising from foreign exchange transactions on a
single day.
Credit concentration risk*
Credit concentration risk arises where any single exposure or group of exposures, based on common risk characteristics, has the
potential to produce losses large enough relative to the Group’s capital, total assets, earnings or overall risk level to threaten its health
or ability to maintain its core operations.
*Forms an integral part of the audited financial statements
76
3.1 Credit risk - Credit risk management (continued)
As part of an ongoing credit management transformation programme, which was introduced in 2010 and continued in 2011, a
number of structural and operational improvements have been made to credit practices and the consistency of their application in
credit risk governance, processes and policy throughout the Group.
Risk identification and assessment *
All customer requests for credit are subject to a credit assessment process.
Depending on the size and nature of the credit, the assessment process is assisted by standard application formats in order to assist
the credit decision maker in making an informed credit decision. The credit approval authority is dependent on the size of the credit
application and the grade of the borrower.
Delegated authority is a key credit risk management tool. The Board determines the credit authority (i.e. limit) for the Group
Credit Committee (“GCC”) together with the authorities of the Chairman/Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Risk Officer and the
Chief Credit Officer. The GCC approves the Market Segment delegated credit authorities and also considers and where appropriate,
approves credit exposures which are in excess of these credit authorities. Delegated authorities below Market Segment levels are clearly
defined and are explicitly linked to levels of seniority and experience within the Group.
Another key tool used to assess credit risk is credit grading or credit scoring for each borrower or transaction both prior to
approval of the credit exposure and subsequently. The methodology used produces a quantitative estimate of probability of default
(“PD”) for the borrower, typically referred to as a ‘grade’. This assessment is carried out at the individual borrower or transaction level.
In the retail consumer and small and medium sized enterprise book, which is characterised by a large number of customers with
small individual exposures, risk assessment is largely informed through statistically-based scoring techniques. Mortgages are assessed
centrally with particular reference to affordability and assisted by scoring models. Both application scoring for new customers and
behavioural scoring for existing customers are used to assess and measure risk as well as to facilitate the management of these
portfolios.
In the commercial, corporate and interbank books, the grading systems utilise a combination of objective information, essentially
financial data (e.g. borrowings; EBITDA; interest cover; balance sheet gearing) and qualitative assessments of non-financial risk factors
such as management quality and competitive position within its sector/industry. The combination of expert lender judgment and
statistical methodologies varies according to the size and nature of the portfolio, together with the availability of relevant default
experience applicable to the portfolio.
Credit concentration risk is identified and assessed at single name counterparty level and at portfolio level. The Board-approved
Group Large Exposures Policy (“GLEP”) sets the maximum limit by grade for exposures to individual counterparties or group of
connected counterparties taking account of features such as security, default risk and term. Portfolio concentrations are identified and
monitored by exposure and grade using internal sector codes.
Such measures facilitate the measurement of concentrations by balance sheet size and risk profile relative to other portfolios
within the Group and in turn facilitate appropriate management action and decision making.
Risk management and mitigation*
A framework of delegated authorities supports the Group’s management of credit risk. With the exception of some individual
delegated credit authorities credit approval is exercised on a dual basis by a business person and a credit person jointly. Credit grading
and scoring systems facilitate the early identification and management of any deterioration in loan quality.
Changes in the objective information (i.e. financial and business variables as described under risk identification and assessment) are
reflected in the credit grade of the borrower with the resultant grade influencing the management of individual loans. Special
attention is paid to lower quality graded loans or ‘Criticised’ loans. In AIB, criticised loans includes ‘Watch’, ‘Vulnerable’ and ‘Impaired’
loans which are defined as follows:
Watch:
Vulnerable:
Impaired:
The credit is exhibiting weakness but with the expectation that existing debt can be fully repaid from normal
cashflows.
Credit where repayment is in jeopardy from normal cashflows and may be dependent on other sources.
A loan is impaired if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred
after the initial recognition of the assets ( a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact such that the
present value of future cash flows is less than the current carrying value of the financial asset or group of assets
and requires an impairment provision to be recognised in the income statement.

Risk management - 3. Individual risk types
3.1 Credit risk - Credit risk management (continued)
The Group’s criticised advances are subject to more intense assessment and review, due to the increased risk associated with them.
Given the continued deterioration in credit quality throughout 2011 in both the retail and commercial markets, both credit
management and credit risk management have been a key area of focus. Resourcing, structures, policy and processes continue to be
reviewed in order to ensure that the Group is best placed to manage asset quality in this severe downturn.
The credit management process is underpinned by an independent system of credit review. Independent credit review teams assess
the application of credit policies, processes and procedures across all areas of the Group. Credit policy and credit management
standards are controlled and set centrally via the Credit Risk function.
Material credit policies are approved by the Board. Levels of concentrations by geography, sector and product are set through the
Risk Appetite Statement which is required to be approved by the Board on an annual basis.
Forbearance strategies
The Group considers each request from customers who are experiencing cash flow difficulties on a case by case basis against the
individual borrowers’ current and likely future financial circumstances, their willingness to resolve these issues, as well as the legal and
regulatory obligations.
The Group is implementing the standards as set out by the Central Bank of Ireland in the Codes of Conduct in relation to
customers in difficulty, ensuring these customers are dealt with in a professional and timely manner.
The types of forbearance solutions employed for mortgage customers who are in difficulty and which provide short term relief
include: interest only, part capital and interest, moratorium, capitalisation of arrears, term extension and deferred interest scheme. The
Group has developed a Mortgage Arrears Resolution Strategy (“MARS”) for dealing with customers in difficulty or likely to be in
difficulty. The strategy is built on three key factors: i) Segmentation – identifying customers in difficulty, ii) Sustainability – customer
assessment and iii) Suitable Treatment – identifying solutions. The core objective is to ensure that arrears solutions are sustainable in
the long term and they comply with the spirit and the letter of all regulatory requirements. Additional long term forbearance options
will be phased in throughout 2012.
Similarly some business customers have also requested forbearance and the Group considers these requests on a case by case basis
with typical types of forbearance being to place the facility on an interest only or part capital/interest basis for a period of time,
extension of the facility and in some cases to do a debt for equity swap. In the latter case, if the recapitalised borrower is viable the
Group will classify the remaining debt as performing. As part of the forbearance process, if a loan is deemed to be impaired, it is
downgraded to impaired status and impairment provisions are raised.
Credit risk mitigants*
In relation to individual exposures, while the perceived strength of a borrower’s repayment capacity is the primary factor in granting a
loan, AIB uses various approaches to help mitigate risks relating to individual credits including: transaction structure, collateral and
guarantees. Collateral or guarantees are required as a secondary source of repayment in the event of the borrower’s default. The main
types of collateral for loans and receivables to customers are as follows:
Home mortgages: The Group takes collateral in support of lending transactions for the purchase of residential property. There are
clear policies in place which set out the type of property acceptable as collateral and the relationship of loan to property value. All
properties are required to be fully insured and subject to a legal charge in favour of the Group.
Corporate/commercial lending: For property related lending, it is normal practice to take a charge over the property being
financed. This includes investment and development properties. As part of the assessment of collateral Market Segments utilise a Group
Property Valuations standard. For non-property related lending, collateral typically includes a charge over business assets such as stock
and debtors but typically include property in the larger cases. In some circumstances, personal guarantees supported by a lien over
personal assets are also taken as security. Very occasionally, credit derivatives are purchased to hedge credit risk. Current levels are
minimal and their use is subject to the normal credit approval process.
The Group enters into master netting agreements for derivatives with certain counterparties, to ensure that in the event of default,
all amounts outstanding with those counterparties will be settled on a net basis.
In the case of large exposures, it is sometimes necessary to reduce initial deal size through appropriate sell-down and syndication
strategies. There are established guidelines in place within the Group relating to the execution of such strategies.
The Group also has in place an interbank exposure policy which establishes the maximum exposure for each counterparty bank
depending on credit grade. Each bank is assessed for the appropriate exposure limit within the policy. Risk generating business units of
each Market Segment are required to have an approved bank or country limit prior to granting any credit facility, or approving any
obligation or commitment which has the potential to create interbank or country exposure.

Risk monitoring and reporting*
Credit managers pro-actively manage the Group’s credit risk exposures at transaction and relationship level. Credit risk at a portfolio
level is monitored and reported regularly to senior management and the Board. A detailed credit review, including information on
provisions, is prepared quarterly.
Single name counterparty concentrations are monitored at transaction level and managed within the Risk Appetite Statement.
Large exposures and portfolio concentrations are reported regularly to senior management and the Board.
Provisioning for impairment*
The identification of loans for assessment as impaired is facilitated by the Group’s rating systems. As described under the Risk
management and mitigation section, changes in the variables which drive the borrower’s credit grade may result in the borrower being
downgraded. This in turn influences the management of individual loans with special attention being paid to lower quality or
criticised loans, i.e. in the Watch, Vulnerable or Impaired categories.
The grade of an exposure is one of the key factors used to determine if a case should be assessed for impairment. Loans are
assessed for impairment, either individually or collectively, if they are past due typically for more than ninety days or the borrower
exhibits, through lender assessment, an inability to meet his obligations to the Group based on objective evidence of loss events (i.e.
impairment triggers). The types of loss events considered as triggers for an impairment assessment include:
national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on the assets in the portfolio, (e.g. an increase in the
unemployment rate in the geographical area of the borrowers, a decrease in residential and/or commercial property prices in the
relevant area, regulatory/government fiscal policy change or adverse changes in industry conditions that affect the borrowers in
the group);
significant financial difficulty of the issuer or obligor; and
observable data indicating a measurable decrease in estimated cash flows.

Where borrowers are deemed to be impaired, the Group raises specific impairment provisions in a timely and consistent way
across the credit portfolios.
The Group makes use of two types of impairment provision: a) Specific; and b) Incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) which
represents a collective provision relating to the portfolio of performing loans.

Specific impairment provisions
Specific impairment provisions arise when the recovery of a specific loan or group of loans is in doubt based on specific impairment
triggers as described above and assessment that all the expected future cash flows either from the loan itself or the associated collateral
will not be sufficient to repay the loan. The amount of the specific impairment provision will reflect the financial position of the
borrower and the net realisable value of any security held for the loan or group of loans. In practice, the specific impairment provision
is the difference between the present value of expected future cash flows for the impaired loan(s) discounted at the original effective
interest rate and the carrying value of the loan(s). When raising specific impairment provisions, AIB divides its impaired portfolio into
two categories, namely individually significant and individually insignificant.
Impairment of individually significant exposures
Each Market Segment sets a threshold above which cases are assessed on an individual basis. The individually significant thresholds are
as follows:
-
PBB and CICB > € 500,000
- AIB UK > Stg£ 150,000
- EBS > € 750,000
For those loans identified as being impaired and which require assessment on an individual basis, the impairment provision is
calculated by discounting the expected future cash flows at the exposure’s original effective interest rate and comparing the result (the
estimated recoverable amount) to the carrying amount of the loan to determine the level of provision required. Specific impairments
for larger loans (individually significant) are raised with reference to the individual characteristics of each credit including an
assessment of the cash flows that may arise from foreclosure less costs to sell in respect of obtaining and selling any associated
collateral. The time period likely to be required to realise the collateral and receive the cash flows is taken into account in estimating
the future cash flows and discounting these back to present value.
As property loans represent a significant concentration within the Group’s loans (25% at December 2011) property valuation
guidelines have been issued by Credit Risk to aid lenders in valuing property assets in the current distressed and illiquid property
markets, particularly in Ireland and the UK. For impaired property and construction exposures, cash flows will generally emanate from
the development and/or disposal of the assets which comprise the collateral held by the Group. The Group’s preference is to work
with the obligor to progress the realisation of the collateral although in some cases the Group will foreclose its security to protect its
position.
The methods used by the Group to assist in reaching appropriate valuations for collateral held include: (a) use of professional
valuations; (b) use of internally developed residual value methodologies; (c) the application of local market knowledge in respect of
the property and its location; and (d) use of internal guidelines for deriving the valuation of investment property. These are described
below.
- Use of professional valuations represent circumstances where external firms are requested to provide formal written
valuations in respect of the property. Up to date external professional valuations are sought in circumstances where it is believed that
sufficient transactional evidence is available to support an expert objective view. Historic valuations are also used as benchmarks to
compare against current market conditions and assess peak to trough reductions. Available market indices for relevant assets, i.e.
residential property, are also used in valuation assessments.
- The residual value methodology assesses the value in the land or property asset after meeting the incremental costs to complete
the development. This approach looks at the cost of developing the asset to determine the residual value for the Group, including
covering the costs to complete and additional funding costs. The key factors considered include: (i) the development potential given
the location of the asset; (ii) its current or likely near term planning status; (iii) levels of current and likely future demand; (iv) the
relevant costs associated with the completion of the project; and (v) expected market prices of completed units. If, following internal
considerations which may include consultations with valuers, it is concluded that the optimal value for the Group will be obtained
through the development/completion of the project, a residual value methodology is used. When, in the opinion of AIB, the land is
not likely to be developed or it is non-commercial to do so, agricultural/green field values may be applied.
- Application of local market knowledge represent circumstances where the local bank management familiar with the
property concerned, with local market conditions, and with knowledge of recently completed transactions provide indications of the
likely realisable value and a potential timeline for realisation.
- In valuing investment property, yields are applied to current rentals having considered current yields and estimated likely future
yields for a more normal market environment for relevant asset classes. Applying one or a combination of the above methodologies
has resulted in a wide range of discounts to original collateral valuations, influenced by the nature, status and year of purchase of the
80
3.1 Credit risk - Credit risk management (continued)
asset. All relevant costs likely to be associated with the realisation of the collateral are taken into account in the cash flow forecasts. The
spread of discounts is influenced by the type of collateral, e.g. land, developed land or investment property and also its location. The
valuation arrived at is therefore a function of the nature of the asset, e.g. unserviced land in a rural area will most likely suffer a greater
reduction in value if purchased at the height of a property boom than a fully let investment property with strong lessees. The
discounts to original collateral value, having applied our valuation methodologies to reflect current market conditions, can be as high
as 95% for land assets where values have been marked down to agricultural/green field site values.
When assessing the level of provision required for property loans, apart from the value to be realised from the collateral, other
cashflows, if available, for example recourse to other assets or sponsor support, are also considered.
The other key driver is the time it takes to receive the funds from the realisation of collateral. While it depends on the type of
collateral and the stage of its development, the period of time to realisation is typically two to seven years but sometimes this time
period is exceeded. These estimates are frequently reassessed on a case by case basis. In accordance with IAS 39, AIB discounts these
cash flows at the assets’ original effective interest rate to calculate their net present value and compares this with the carrying value of
the asset, the difference being the level of provision required.
In assessing the value of collateral for mortgage impaired loans in Ireland, the Group uses a peak to trough price decline of 55% as
a base. In certain circumstances, realisation costs of 10% to 20% are deducted. For individually significant loans, other factors, such as
recent transactional evidence or local knowledge, are considered which can result in higher discounts to collateral valuations.
Each market segment has a dedicated approach to loan workout and to monitoring and proactively managing impaired loans. In
the newly established PBB & CICB market segments, Enterprise Lending Services (“ELS”) teams focus on managing criticised loans.
Ultimately, the loan workout manager will decide on the method(s) to be used based on his/her expert judgement. The loan workout
manager then recommends the required impairment to the appropriate approval authority. The Group operates a tiered approval
framework for impairments which are approved, depending on amount, by various delegated authorities up to Area Credit Committee
level. These committees are chaired by the Head of Credit in the market segments where the valuation/impairment is reviewed and
challenged for appropriateness and adequacy. Impairments in excess of segmental authorities are approved by the GCC. Market
segment impairments are ultimately reviewed by the Special GCC as part of the quarterly provision process.
These valuation assumptions and approaches are documented and the resulting impairments are reviewed and challenged as part of
the approval process by market segment and Group senior management.
Impairment of individually insignificant exposures
The calculation of an impairment charge for credits below the ‘significant’ threshold is undertaken on a collective basis. Loans are
grouped together in homogeneous pools sharing common characteristics, for example in PBB and CICB, exposures are split into the
following pools: <€ 10,000, € 10,000 to € 30,000 and € 30,000 to € 500,000, home mortgages up to € 500,000, property and
construction € 30,000 to € 500,000 and other commercial € 30,000 to € 500,000. Recovery rates are established for each pool by
assessing the Group’s loss experience for these pools over the past four to five years and by examining the amount and timing of cash
flows received (typically over four years) from the date the loan was identified as impaired. These recovery rates are updated at a
minimum on a yearly basis. Impairment provisions are then raised on new impaired loans and updated on existing impaired loans,
reflecting the Group’s updated recovery experience. The individually insignificant provision process in the UK is similar to that in
PBB, with loans grouped into pooled ranges, < £ 10k, > £ 10k < £ 25k and > £ 25k < £ 150k for the following sectors Property
and Construction, Personal and Other Commercial.
In the EBS market segment, all loans less than € 750,000 are assessed on a pooled basis. The calculation has three key components
reflecting the three stages in the movement of a loan to loss; probability of default (“PD”); probability of repossession given default
(“PRGD”); and loss given repossession (“LGR”). Default is defined to be 3 (monthly) payments or more in arrears, i.e. a least 90 days
past due. The movement from default to repossession is assessed based on observed portfolio cure rates. The rate varies according to
the number of payments missed, i.e. the deeper in default a loan is, the more likely it is that loss will result. The calculation of incurred
loss is driven largely by expectation of property values at disposal. For mortgages in Ireland, a peak to trough house price of 55% is
used for individually insignificant impaired pools with a deduction of a further 10% to 20% for costs.
While a uniform approach is adopted throughout the Group, depending upon the range/depth of customer and portfolio
information available, the methodologies used in establishing the level of impairment may vary across the Market Segments, given that
the nature of the asset pools differs across market segments.
When a loan has been subjected to a specific provision and the prospects for recovery do not improve, a point will come when it
may be concluded that there is no realistic prospect of recovery. When that point is reached, the amount of the loan and any related
specific provision, which is considered to be beyond prospect of recovery is charged off.

Collective impairment for performing book Incurred but not reported (“IBNR”)
IBNR provisions are maintained to cover loans which are impaired at the reporting date and, while not specifically identified, are
known from experience to be present in any portfolio of loans but have not yet emerged.
Evidence of impairment may arise where there is observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated
future cash flows from a group of financial assets since the initial recognition of those assets, although the decrease cannot yet be
identified with the individual financial assets in the group. Such evidence may include:
National or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on the assets in the group (e.g. an increase in the
unemployment rate in the geographical area of the borrowers, a decrease in residential and/or commercial property prices in the
relevant area, regulatory/government fiscal policy change or adverse changes in industry conditions that affect the borrowers in the
group).
IBNR provisions can only be recognised for incurred losses i.e. losses that are present in the portfolio at the reporting date and
are not permitted for losses that are expected to happen as a result of likely future events. IBNR provisions are determined by
reference to loss experience in the portfolios and to the credit environment at the reporting date.
IBNR provisions are maintained at levels that are deemed appropriate by management having considered: credit grading profiles
and grading movements; arrears profiles; forbearance activity; historic loan loss rates; recent loss experience; changes in credit
management procedures, processes and policies; local and international economic climates; and portfolio sector profiles/industry
conditions.
The approach used for the collective evaluation of impairment is to split the performing financial assets into homogeneous pools
on the basis of similar risk characteristics.
The historic ‘loss rate’ for the pool is reviewed and adjustments considered by management for any factors currently affecting the
portfolio that may not have been a feature in the past or vice versa.Where it is deemed that the average historic loss rate does not
accurately reflect incurred loss, reference may be made to the most recent specific provision ‘run rate’ for each pool. The use of such
‘adjustment factors’ is permitted by IAS 39. The resultant amount is then adjusted to reflect the emergence period, i.e. the time it takes
following a loss event for an individual loan to be recognised as impaired requiring a specific provision.
The emergence period is key to determining the level of collective provisions. Emergence periods for each market segment are
determined by taking into account current credit management practices, historical evidence of assets moving from ‘good’ to ‘bad’ as a
result of a ‘loss event’ and include case sampling. The range of emergence periods applied by AIB is three to twelve months with the
majority of the portfolio having a six month emergence period applied.
Higher risk sub-portfolios such as mortgage loans subject to forbearance and loans 90+ days past due but not impaired are also
considered for the purposes of estimating appropriate IBNR provision levels. Cognisance is taken of the underlying risk, probability of
default and loss given default in this estimation.

3.1 Credit risk
Credit profile of the loan portfolio
AIB Group’s loan portfolio comprises loans (including overdrafts), installment credit and finance lease receivables.
The overdraft provides demand credit facility combined with a current account. Borrowings occur when the customer's drawings
take the current account into debit. The balance may therefore fluctuate with the requirements of the customer. Although overdrafts
are contractually repayable on demand (unless a fixed term has been agreed), provided the account is deemed to be satisfactory, full
repayment is not generally demanded without notice.
The following analysis includes loans and receivables to customers including loans and receivables within disposal groups and
non-current assets held for sale but excludes loans and receivables held for sale to NAMA.
The following table includes total Group loans and receivables to customers gross of impairment provisions for continuing
business split on a core/non-core basis within the market segments. As outlined in the AIB June 2011 Half-yearly financial report, the
Group has set up a non-core unit to oversee the disposal and run-off of selected assets. While this unit has been operational with its
own management team since 1 July 2011, it is not possible to provide detailed Core/Non-Core comparatives on a sectoral basis for
2010 and consequently the following analysis will provide a core/non-core split for 2011 only. Included in Group loans and
receivables are € 1.2 billion in loans held for sale of which € 54 million relates to a residential mortgage portfolio in AmCredit and a
further € 1.1 billion in property and corporate loans.
The EBS portfolio of € 16.3 billion, which was acquired by AIB on 1 July 2011, is also included in Group loans and receivables to
customers.

Group loans and receivables to customers amounted to € 98.7 billion at 31 December 2011 and excluding loans and receivables of
€ 16.3 billion in EBS, have decreased by € 11.5 billion since December 2010 largely as a result of deleveraging in line with our
recapitalisation plan, loan repayments and weak customer demand. 41% or € 40 billion of total Group loans and advances to customers
are criticised of which € 24.8 billion or 25% is impaired. Group loans and receivables to customers of € 98.7 billion are split into two
portfolios, Core of € 77 billion and Non-Core of € 21.7 billion.
Included within the Statement of financial position provisions are specific provisions of € 12.3 billion providing cover on impaired
loans of 49% are held for the portfolio with total provisions to total loans of 15%. The income statement non-NAMA provision
charge in 2011 was 7.84% of average advances, or € 7,774 million. Excluding the EBS charge for 6 months to 31 December 2011 of
€ 323 million, the AIB provision charge at € 7,451 million or 8.58% of average advances is up from € 4,518 million or 4.66% in
2010. The AIB provision charge for 2011 included € 3.6 billion or 48% relating to borrowers in the property and construction sector
and a further € 1.3 billion or 18% for residential mortgages.
The key portfolios and credit quality are profiled further on in this section.
(1)Watch: credit exhibiting weakness but with the expectation that existing debt can be fully repaid from normal cashflow.
(2)Vulnerable: credit where repayment is in jeopardy from normal cashflow and may be dependent on other sources.
(3)Impaired: a loan is impaired if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of
the assets (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact such that the present value of future cashflows is less than the current carrying
value of the financial asset or group of assets i.e. requires a provision to be raised through the income statement.
(4)Includes impairment provision of € 9 million (2010: € 12 million) in respect of loans and receivables held within ‘Disposal groups and non-current
assets held for sale’.

The other personal portfolio amounted to € 5.3 billion at 31 December 2011 and includes € 1.2 billion in credit card loans with the
remaining € 4.1 billion relating to loans/overdrafts. The portfolio has decreased by € 0.7 billion in the year reflecting repayments and
a reduced demand for personal credit. € 2.3 billion (43%) of the portfolio was criticised at 31 December 2011 (up from 35% at
31 December 2010) of which € 1.3 billion impaired (2010: € 0.8 billion). The impact of continuing high unemployment and pressure
on affordability are the key drivers of the increased level of criticised loans. Statement of financial position specific provisions of
€ 903 million provides cover on impaired loans of 68%. The ratio of total provisions to total loans is 20%. The income statement
provision charge for this portfolio in 2011 (excluding a charge of € 9 million for NAMA assets) was € 478 million or 8.45% of
average advances up from € 336 million or 5.27% at 31 December 2010. This book is split € 3.0 billion in Core and € 2.3 billion in
Non-Core assets.

At 31 December 2011, excluding exposure to housing associations in AIB UK of € 518 million (€ 529 million at December 2010), but
including € 896 million in property sector loans in the EBS, the Group property and construction portfolio was € 24.0 billion. Total
Criticised loans were € 16.0 billion (67%) of the portfolio of which € 11.9 billion (50%) were impaired loans. Statement of financial
position specific provisions of € 6.5 billion providing cover of 54% are held for this portfolio with total provisions to total loans of 32%.
Excluding the EBS income statement charge for this portfolio of € 18 million, the AIB provision charge in 2011 was € 3,554 million or
14.47% of average property loans up from € 2,402 million or 9.00% of average property loans in 2010. The higher level of criticised
loan and provision cover in AIB compared with 2010 reflects the continued impact of further reductions in property prices, reduced
rents for commercial properties and the continued lack of demand for housing and hence development land in Ireland in particular.

The main sub-sectors included in the SME/Commercial category of € 16.3 billion were: hotels & licensed premises
€ 3.9 billion; retail/wholesale € 2.8 billion; other services € 5.4 billion and agriculture € 1.8 billion. 49% or € 7.9 billion of this
portfolio were criticised at 31 December 2011 (up from 41% at December 2010) with € 4.6 billion (28%) in impaired loans. The
increase in criticised loans reflects the impact that the on-going difficult economic conditions, particularly in Ireland, which has
resulted in high levels of unemployment and lower levels of trading, is having on a sizeable number of our borrowers. Statement of
financial position specific provisions of € 2.7 billion provide cover of 58% for the impaired loan in this portfolio with total provisions
to total loans of 19%. The income statement provision charge for this portfolio in 2011 was € 1.6 billion or 9.57% of average loans up
from € 985 million or 5.44% in 2010.

some large credit defaults with higher level of losses. Further detail of the leveraged element of the book by geographic location and
industry sector is available in 3.1 ‘Credit risk - Analysis of credit risk 5 year summaries’.

The Group’s criticised loans and receivables to customers amounted to € 40.0 billion or 41% of total customer loans. Excluding the
EBS criticised loans of € 5.4 billion, AIB’s criticised loans have increased by € 7.2 billion since 31 December 2010, mainly relating to
residential mortgages up € 4.0 billion to € 8.3 billion and property and construction loans up € 2.2 billion to € 15.2 billion, largely in
the PBB and CICB market segments. The main drivers of the increases in criticised loans has been the impact of the continuing lack of
activity in the property and construction sector and consequent impact on the housing sector, together with increased
unemployment and reduced earnings which negatively affected our borrowers ability to repay loans.
There has also been an increase in criticised loans in AIB UK, up € 0.6 billion since December 2010 to € 6.8 billion or 45%
of UK advances. While there has been a decrease in Watch & Vulnerable loans of € 0.4 billion each in the year, this was offset by the
increase in impaired loans, mainly in the Property, Other Business and Leisure sectors.
EBS had € 5.4 billion of criticised loans at 31 December 2011 having mapped their loan grades with AIB’s for reporting
purposes. The underlying increase since acquisition by AIB in July 2011 is € 0.5 billion which was driven by pressure on consumer
disposable income and unemployment. Impaired loans were € 3.5 billion at 31 December which represented 22% of customer loans.
AmCredit criticised loans at € 12 million have reduced from € 30 million at December 2010.

(1)Excludes EBS which was acquired by AIB on 1 July 2011.
Group impaired loans as a percentage of gross customer loans increased to 25%. Excluding EBS where impaired loans at
31 December 2011 were € 3.5 billion, AIB impaired loans were up € 9.1 billion in the year to € 21.3 billion. Impaired loans in the
residential mortgage portfolio increased by € 2.2 billion since 31 December 2010 due to pressure on disposable incomes and hence
affordability, continuing high unemployment and further declines in house prices. There was also an increase in property and
construction impaired loans of € 4.4 billion in the year influenced by further property price declines, pressure on rents and increased
vacancy rates. Impaired loans in the SME sector increased by € 1.9 billion since 31 December 2010 impacted by a decline in
consumer spending and evidence of contagion of property related problems into the SME sector.
Within the above figures, AIB UK impaired loans increased by € 1.4 billion to € 3.3 billion mainly in the property and
construction sector which increased by € 0.8 billion since 31 December 2010 with an increase of.€ 0.4 billion in the leisure and other
services sectors.
In the EBS, impaired loans increased by € 2.6 billion since 1 July 2011 to € 3.5 billion due mainly to (i) to the categorisation of
the 90 days past due loans as impaired and also due to (ii) the underlying deterioration in the book.
Impaired loans in AmCredit decreased by € 18 million in the year to 31 December 2011 due to the sale of portfolios during the
year.

3.1 Credit risk - Credit profile of the loan portfolio (continued)
The level of specific provisions and associated provision cover for individually significant and individually insignificant impaired loans
at 31 December 2011 and 2010 are outlined in the following table.
Approximately 90% of loans and receivables to customers carry security - the main exceptions include:
-
-
small personal facilities, including Credit Cards, where statistical scoring techniques are used in the approval process; and
advances to large corporate customers where financial and business covenants protect the Group’s position.

For reporting purposes Loans and Receivables to customers are categorised into neither past due nor impaired, past due but not
impaired and impaired. Profiles of past due but not impaired loans are detailed on pages 110 and 157, and impaired loans are detailed
on pages 92 and 155.
Loans and receivables to customers which are neither past due nor impaired amounted to € 69.1 billion as at 31 December 2011 or
70% of total loans and receivables to customers (€ 76.4 billion or 81% as at 31 December, 2010). Loans that are neither past due nor
impaired are further classified into ‘Strong, Satisfactory or Higher Risk’, and a description of each category is as follows:
“Strong” typically includes strong corporate and commercial lending combined with elements of the retail portfolios and residential
mortgages.
“Satisfactory” typically includes new business written and existing satisfactorily performing exposures across all portfolios. The lower
end of this category includes a portion of the Group’s criticised loans (i.e. loans requiring additional management attention over and
above that normally required for the loan type) that are neither past due not impaired.
“Higher Risk” contains the remainder of the Group’s criticised loans that are neither past due nor impaired, together with loans
written at a high PD where there is a commensurate higher margin for the risk taken.

compared to € 5.4 billion and 5.7% at 31December 2010.

loans as at 31 December, 2011 (up from € 1.3 billion at 31 December 2010), largely driven by increased unemployment and reduced
earnings which negatively affected our borrowers ability to repay loans. Property and Construction loans past due but not impaired

Risk management - 3. Individual risk types
3.1 Credit risk - Credit profile of the loan portfolio (continued)
mortgages which are currently in forbearance. In considering the appropriate level of IBNR, the Group has taken into account the
increased risk inherent in this portfolio of loans. The IBNR provision charge has been allocated to the following portfolios;
€ 311 million to residential mortgages (statement of financial position of € 527 million), which reflects recent provision experience,
the level of arrears (including 90+ days past due but not impaired), the level of requests for forbearance and level of vulnerable loans
(i.e. one grade above impaired). € 178 million has been allocated to non-mortgage portfolios (statement of financial position of
€ 390 million), mostly in the property and distribution sectors. The PBB provision charge for loans held for sale to NAMA was Nil in
the year to December 2011.
The non NAMA provision charge for loans and receivables in CICB was € 4,938 million or 12.44% of average customer loans.
€ 5,311 million were specific provisions and there was a write-back of € 373 million in IBNR provisions bringing the statement of
financial position IBNR provisions to € 1,141 million. 54% or € 2.7 billion of the total charge related to loans in the property and
construction sector which continues to be negatively impacted by a lack of house building activity. A further € 0.8 billion related to
loans in the distribution sector which includes, hotels, licensed premises and retail/wholesale which remain impacted by the decline
in consumer spending. € 715 million of the stock of IBNR has been allocated to the property and construction sector to take
account of the impact of further pressure on asset prices, rental cash flows and concerns over the length of time it may take for a
recovery in this sector. IBNR stock has also been allocated to cover managements estimate of incurred loss in the remaining book,
comprising SME, Corporate and residential buy-to-let portfolios. The CICB provision charge for loans held for sale to NAMA was
€ 36 million for the year to December 2011.
In the UK, the income statement provision charge for loans and receivables was € 1,087 million or 7.00% of average loans
comprising € 875 million in specific provisions and € 212 million in IBNR. 59% or € 645 million of the provision charge related to
borrowers in the property and construction sector. The statement of financial position IBNR provisions at 31 December 2011 is
€ 427 million and the Group took into consideration the level and repayment profile of the low start mortgage portfolio in FTB
(Stg£ 476 million), the level of interest only facilities (Stg£ 0.8 billion) in part of the GB portfolio and the level of 90+ days past
due but not impaired loans when determining the appropriate level of IBNR. The UK provision charge for loans held for sale to
NAMA was € 51 million for the year to December 2011.
The EBS income statement provision charge for loans and receivable was € 323 million or 3.95% of average loans (annualised)

Risk management - 3. Individual risk types
3.1 Credit risk - Segmental analysis of the loan portfolio (continued)
Residential mortgages in the Republic of Ireland (comprising PBB, CICB & EBS) amounted to € 41.7 billion at 31 December 2011.
This compares to € 27.2 billion at 31 December 2010, the increase resulting from the acquisition of EBS in 2011 offset by a
reduction of € 0.9 billion in AIB in 2011. The split of the residential mortgage book was owner occupier € 32.2 billion and buy to let
€ 9.5 billion. The income statement charge for 2011 was € 1.5 billion or 3.56% of average residential mortgages, comprising
€ 1.3 billion specific charge and € 0.2 billion IBNR charge. Of the increase in the income statement charge of € 1.0 billion on 2010,
€ 0.3 billion related to the EBS charge for the second half of 2011, with the remainder relating to an increase in AIB. Statement of
financial position provisions of € 2.5 billion were held at 31 December 2011, split € 1.7 billion specific and € 0.8 billion IBNR.
The portfolio in the Republic of Ireland continues to experience an increase in arrears as borrowers’ repayment capacity is
impacted by the current economic climate. The level of loans >90 days in arrears including impaired loans was 15.66% at
31 December 2011, or 13.31% excluding EBS, compared to 4.80% at 31 December 2010.The level of loans >90 days in arrears
including those impaired in EBS was 19.68% at 31 December 2011.
The level of arrears >90 days including impaired loans in the owner occupier book increased from € 557 million or 2.87% of
advances at 31 December 2010 to € 3,472 million or 10.90% at 31 December 2011, of which € 2,238 million related to EBS,
representing an increase of € 677 million excluding EBS. Decreases in household income and growing unemployment continue to be
the principal drivers of increased arrears in the owner occupier book.
The level of arrears >90 days in the buy to let book increased from € 747 million or 9.60% at 31 December 2010 to € 2,981
million or 31.70% at 31 December 2011 and continues to be impacted by increased financial pressure on borrowers and volatility in
rental income. BTL arrears >90 days including impaired loans in EBS were € 785 million (or 42.2% of residential mortgages) at
31 December 2011.
Total owner occupier and buy to let impaired loans were € 6.0 billion at 31 December 2011 compared with € 1.0 billion at
31 December 2010, a reflection of the deterioration of the residential mortgage book in the period and the acquisition of EBS during
2011, for which impaired loans were € 3.0 billion at 31 December 2011.
Statement of financial position specific provisions of € 1.7 billion provided cover of 28% (31 December 2010: € 198 million or
20%) of which € 0.6 billion related to EBS, representing an increase of € 0.9 billion in AIB in 2011. AIB has used a 55% peak-to-
trough house price decline as a base for assessing values of collateral, but where relevant has applied a discount to reflect a higher
decline in value. IBNR statement of financial position provisions of € 789 million were held for the performing book (86% of the
residential mortgage book), or € 664 million excluding EBS, which compares to € 368 million held at 31 December 2010 and reflects
management’s view of incurred loss in this book. The total income statement charge for 2011 was € 1.5 billion, comprising a specific
charge of € 1.3 billion and an IBNR charge € 0.2 billion. Excluding the EBS income statement charge for the second half of the year
of € 305 million, the 2011 charge was € 1,167 million, an increase from € 448 million (€ 136 million specific and € 312 million
IBNR) for 2010.

The types of forbearance measures that are currently considered for mortgage customers are interest only, part capital and interest,
moratorium, arrears capitalisation, term extension and deferred interest scheme.
The Group has developed a Mortgage Arrears Resolution Strategy (“MARS”) for dealing with customers in difficulty or likely
to be in difficulty. Further details on MARS are set out in 3.1 ‘Credit risk - Credit risk management’.
Of the total residential mortgage book in the Republic of Ireland of € 41.7 billion, 15% are subject to forbearance measures as at
31 December 2011, 18% excluding EBS, compared to 13% as at 31 December 2010.The majority (71%) of the loans that were
subject to forbearance measures at 31 December 2011 were restructured to interest only repayments. € 2.1 billion (33%) of the loans
under forbearance were >90 days past due or impaired as at 31 December 2011, 34% excluding EBS, compared to 7% as at
31 December 2010.

The increase in the stock of repossessed properties in 2011 reflects the acquisition of EBS in 2011, coupled with a relatively small
number of properties repossessed in the year. A total of 73 properties were repossessed in the Republic of Ireland in 2011, the
majority of which were through voluntary surrender or abandonment of the property.

€ 2.1 billion or 5% of the Republic of Ireland residential mortgage book was past due but not impaired at 31 December 2011
compared to € 1.2 billion or 4% at 31 December 2010. Of the loan book that was past due but not impaired, € 1.0 billion or 48%
was <30 days past due (31 December 2010: € 0.5 billion or 42%). The increase in loans that are past due but not impaired reflects the
impact on disposable incomes as a result of the economic downturn.

Residential mortgages in AIB UK were € 3.2 billion at 31 December 2011 compared to € 3.5 billion at 31 December 2010 and
comprised owner-occupier mortgages of € 2.8 billion and buy-to-let mortgages of € 0.4 billion. The level of >90 days arrears
including impaired loans was 7.44% compared to 4.09% at 31 December 2010, driven primarily by an increase in the levels of arrears
in Northern Ireland. Statement of financial position specific provisions at € 67 million were up from € 29 million at 31 December
2010, with cover increasing from 26% to 35% reflecting house price declines in Northern Ireland. IBNR statement of financial
position provisions of € 100 million are held, up from € 37 million at 31 December 2010, and reflect management’s view of incurred
loss in the performing book, particularly in relation to low-start mortgages in Northern Ireland. The income statement charge for the
period of € 99 million, comprising € 39 million specific charge and € 60 million IBNR charge, increased from
€ 50 million (€ 20 million specific and € 30 million IBNR) in 2010.

€ 143 million or 4% of the AIB UK residential mortgage book was past due but not impaired at 31 December 2011 compared to
€ 110 million or 3% at 31 December 2010. Of the loan book that was past due, € 49 million or 34% was <30 days past due (2010:
€ 39 million or 35%). The increase in past due loans reflects the continuing economic downturn which continues to give rise to falling
disposable incomes.

Risk management - 3. Individual risk types
3.1 Credit risk (continued)
Credit ratings of total loans and receivables to customers
Internal credit ratings
Ratings profiles
The Group uses various rating tools in managing its credit risk. Each rating tool has up to 11 rating/grading points, each point or
grade in turn has its own ascribed Probability of Default (“PD”), which differentiates the risk associated with the borrowers under
each grade. Rating tools are designed to ensure they are suitable for the type of borrowers being rated and hence can have different
PD bands or scales. Hence a rating tool being used to grade credit card borrowers will have a higher average PD than a tool being
used to rate commercial borrowers and will have different PDs attached to individual grading points.
To facilitate the aggregation of these individual tools for reporting purposes the Group uses a Reporting masterscale which has
13 points, each with its own PD. The PD range for the full masterscale is 0% to 100% (where 100% indicates a borrower who is in
default). The reporting masterscale in itself is not a rating tool and is not used in decision making or in the ongoing management of
loans. It facilitates mapping of the individual rating tools purely by PD.
The role of rating tools is outlined in the Risk Management section of this report (see Risk Identification and Assessment and
Risk Management and Mitigation) and highlights the role of rating tools in identifying and managing loans including those of lower
quality. These lower quality loans are referred to as Criticised loans and while identifiable within their own rating models can be
spread across different ranges in the reporting masterscale as they carry different PDs. Criticised loans are profiled in detail on
pages 91 and 107 of this report.
For reporting purposes Loans and Receivables to customers are categorised into Neither Past due nor impaired, Past Due but not
impaired and Impaired.
Neither Past due nor impaired applies to those loans that are neither Past due nor Impaired.
Past due but not impaired are defined as follows: When a borrower fails to make a contractually due payment, a loan is deemed to
be past due. Past due days is a term used to describe the cumulative number of days a missed payment is overdue. When a loan or
exposure is past due, the entire exposure is reported as past due, not just the amount of any excess or arrears.
Impaired loans are defined as follows: A loan is impaired if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more
events that occurred after the initial recognition of the assets (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact such that the
present value of future cash flows is less than the current carrying value of the financial asset or group of assets and requires an
impairment provision to be recognised in the income statement.
Loans that are Neither Past due nor impaired are further classified into “Strong, Satisfactory and Higher Risk”, and a description
of each category is as follows:
Grades 1 – 3 (Strong) typically includes strong corporate and commercial lending combined with elements of the retail portfolios
and residential mortgages.
Grades 4 – 10 (Satisfactory) typically includes new business written and existing satisfactorily performing exposures across all
portfolios. The lower end of this category includes a portion of the Group’s criticised loans (i.e. loans requiring additional
management attention over and above that normally required for the loan type) that are neither past due nor impaired.
Grades 11 – 13 (Higher Risk) contains the remainder of the Group’s criticised loans that are neither past due nor impaired,
together with loans written at a high PD where there is a commensurate higher margin for the risk taken.
Loans and receivables to customers
Lending classifications:
Corporate/commercial includes loans to corporate and larger commercial enterprises processed through one of the Group’s
corporate/commercial rating tools, where the exposure is typically greater than € 300,000.
Residential mortgages includes loans for the purchase of residential properties processed through the Group’s residential mortgage
rating tools. In some circumstances, residential mortgage exposures can be processed through the Group’s Corporate and Commercial
rating tools (e.g. where a borrower has more than five investment properties).
Other includes loans to SMEs and individuals. In some cases, behaviour scoring and credit scoring methodologies are used.
The tables for Internal credit ratings - total loans and receivables to customers are shown on the following pages.

Loan and receivables to customers portfolio by geography and industry sector*
The credit portfolio is diversified within each of its geographic markets (Ireland, United Kingdom, United States) by spread of
locations, industry classification and individual customer.
Other than construction and property in Ireland (17.5%) and residential mortgages in Ireland (42.4%), as at 31 December 2011 no
one industry, or loan category, in any geographic market accounts for more than 10% of AIB Group’s total loan portfolio.
The following table shows the loan and receivables to customers portfolio by geography and industry sector at 31 December
2011, 2010, 2009, 2008 and 2007 excluding in 2011, 2010 and 2009 those held for sale to NAMA. Loans and receivables held for sale
to NAMA are analysed on page 149. Included within continuing operations for 2010 is € 74 million in loans and receivables to
customers relating to AmCredit that at the time were held within ‘Disposal groups and non-current assets held for sale’.

Risk elements in lending
The Group’s loan control and review procedures generally do not include the classification of loans as non-accrual, accruing past due,
restructured and potential problem loans, as defined by the SEC. Management has, however, set out in the following table the amount
of loans, (including, in the case of 2011, 2010 and 2009, those held for sale to NAMA and in 2010 those within discontinued
operations)(2), at 31 December, without giving effect to available security and before deduction of provisions, using the SEC’s
classification:

(1)These figures represent AIB’s impaired loans before provisions. Total interest income that would have been recorded during the year ended
31 December 2011 had interest on gross impaired loans been included in income amounted to € 528 million (2010: € 462 million;
2009: € 235 million; 2008: € 109 million; 2007: € 60 million; 2006: € 47 million) - € 456 million for Ireland, € 61 million for the United Kingdom,
United States € 1 million, € 9 million for Poland and Rest of World € 1 million. Of the total figure of € 528 million above, € 236 million
(2010: € 296 million; 2009: € 172 million; 2008: € 45 million; 2007: € 21 million) was included in income for the year ended 31 December 2011
for interest on impaired loans (net of provisions).
(2)For 2010, Poland is classified as a discontinued operation.
(3)AIB does not normally restructure loans at concessionary interest rates or restructure on uncommercial terms. In circumstances where it does enter
into such arrangements these loans are classified as impaired and hence included in the table above. In certain circumstances, as part of a loan
restructure, AIB will convert debt to equity and if the recapitalised borrower is viable will reclassify the debt as performing. The value of equity held
in the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2011 from such transactions was € 6 million (2010: € 48 million) and the amount of debt
resulting from such transactions and held in performing grades was € 33 million.
AIB Group generally expects that loans, where known information about possible credit problems causes management to have serious
doubt as to the ability of borrowers to comply with loan repayment terms, would be included under its definition of impaired loans
and would therefore have been reported in the above table.
In AIB Group, loans are typically reported as impaired when interest thereon is 90 days or more past due or where a provision
exists in anticipation of loss, except: (i) where there is sufficient evidence that repayment in full, including all interest up to the time
of repayment (including costs) will be made within a reasonable and identifiable time period, either from realisation of security,
refinancing commitment or other sources; or (ii) where there is independent evidence that the balance due, including interest, is
adequately secured. Upon impairment the accrual of interest income based on the original terms of the claim is discontinued but the
increase of the present value of impaired claims due to the passage of time is reported as interest income.

2011
Impaired Loans - Continuing operations
The following commentary includes loans and receivables (including loans and receivables held for sale to NAMA and loans and receivables included
within disposal groups and non current assets held for sale. It also includes the EBS which was acquired by AIB on 1 July 2011).
Group impaired loans were € 24,833 million at 31 December 2011 and now represent 25% of loans and receivables.
In Ireland, impaired loans were € 21,047 million representing 27% of total group loans and receivables up from € 9,955 million at
December 2010. € 3,544 million of this increase relates to residential mortgage and property investment loans in the EBS which was
acquired by AIB on 1 July 2011. The underlying increase in AIB impaired loans in the year was € 7,548 million and reflects the
impact the continuing difficult economic environment in Ireland with rising unemployment, a lack of activity in the property/
housing sectors and reduced consumer spending is having on borrowers in most sectors, particularly the following: property
(up € 3,416 million), distribution (hotels, licensed premises, retail) (up € 994 million) and residential mortgage (up € 2,122 million).
In the United Kingdom, impaired loans increased by € 1,682 million to € 3,725 million primarily in the following sectors;
property (up € 981 million), distribution (up € 317 million), other services (up € 206 million) and residential mortgages
(up € 78 million).
Impaired loans in the United States were € 49 million down on the 2010 level of € 75 million and are related to borrowers in
the property sector. The reduction is primarily due to the write-off and sale of certain assets.
Impaired loans in the Rest of World were € 12 million down from € 68 million in 2010 and relate to residential mortgages in
AmCredit. The reduction is largely due to the sale of portfolios in AmCredit and other loan portfolios in the CICB market segment.
2010
Impaired Loans - Continuing operations
Group impaired loans for continuing operations increased by € 6,095 million to € 12,114 million in the year to 31 December 2010
and now represent 12.9% of loans up from 6.1% at 31 December 2009.
In Ireland, impaired loans increased by € 5,147 million to € 9,955 million and as a percentage of advances have increased to
14.3% from 6.7% at 31 December 2009. 96.8% of the increase in impaired loans related to the AIB Bank ROI division where
borrowers continue to be impacted by the lack of activity in the property and housing sectors, increased unemployment which is
reflected in a higher level of mortgage impaired loans and a general decline in consumer spending which affects sectors such as
distribution (hotels, licensed premises, retail). Impaired loans in Capital Markets division also increased in the period by € 164 million
particularly in the manufacturing and other services sectors.
Impaired loans in the United Kingdom increased by € 942 million in the year to 31 December 2010 to € 2,043 million and as a
percentage of advances have increased to 9.7% from 5.0% at 31 December 2009. In Capital Markets division impaired loans decreased
by € 23 million to € 166 million and reflect decreases in the manufacturing and financial sectors offset by additional impaired loans in
the distribution and property sectors. In AIB UK division, impaired loans increased by € 965 million largely in the property (up
€ 936 million) and residential mortgage (up € 59 million) sectors.
Impaired loans in the United States increased by € 33 million reflecting new impaired loans in Capital Markets division in the
construction and property, energy distribution and transport sectors € 67 million offset by reductions in the other services and
manufacturing sectors of € 34 million.
Impaired loans in the Rest of World were € 41 million largely in the property and construction and other services sectors in
Capital Markets division.
Impaired Loans – Discontinued operations
In Poland, impaired loans have increased by € 110 million in the year to 31 December 2010 and now represent 6.8% of loans and
receivables up from 5.5% at 31 December 2009 primarily in the property and SME sectors.

The following commentary includes provisions for loans and receivables (including loans and receivables held for sale to NAMA and loans and
receivables included within disposal groups and non current assets held for sale. It includes the provision for impairment raised in the EBS for the six
months since it was acquired by AIB in July 2011).
The provision for impairment for loans and receivables of € 7,885 million or 7.33% of average loans for the year ended
31 December 2011 was € 1,765 million higher than in 2010 (€ 6,120 million 4.97% of average loans) and was impacted by the
continuing economic difficulties being experienced, particularly in Ireland.
The 2011 provision included € 87 million relating to loans and receivables held for sale to NAMA compared with € 1,497
million in 2010.
The remaining Non NAMA charge of € 7,798 million (7.32% of average advances) has increased by € 3,175 million since
December 2010 and comprised € 7,619 million in specific provisions (2010: € 3,318 million) and € 179 million in IBNR provisions
(2010: € 1,305 million). 77% of the increase in provisions related to business in Ireland with a further 25% in the UK.
Ireland
The provision for impairment of € 6,455 million included a charge of € 36 million relating to loans held for sale to NAMA. The
non-NAMA charge was € 6,419 million and included a specific charge of € 6,479 million and a write-back of IBNR of
€ 60 million.The charge was split € 1,426 million relating to PBB, € 4,670 million for CICB and € 323 million for EBS (for six
months to December 2011).
Included in the PBB charge of € 1,426 million was a specific provision charge of € 936 million, with € 392 million or 42%
relating to residential mortgage loans reflecting the increased level of arrears due to pressure on borrowers caused by unemployment
and reduced incomes. A further € 166 million (18%) of the specific charge related to loans in the property sector, influenced by a
continued lack of activity in that sector. € 184 million or 20% of the specific charge was for consumer loans and the remaining
€ 194 million related to SME/commercial loans. There was an IBNR provision of € 490 million raised in 2011. € 311 million of this
charge was allocated to the residential mortgage portfolio based on the increasing arrears profile and a large proportion was set aside
for non-impaired forbearance cases. The IBNR provision charge has been allocated to the following portfolios: € 311 million to
residential mortgages (statement of financial position of € 527 million), which reflects recent provision experience, the level of arrears
142
3.1 Credit risk - Analysis of credit risk - 5 year summaries (continued)
(including 90+ days past due but not impaired), the level of requests for forbearance and level of vulnerable loans (i.e. one notch
above impaired). € 179 million of the provision charge has been allocated to non-mortgage portfolios (statement of financial position
of € 390 million), mostly in the distribution sector (includes hotels, licensed premises, retail).
The non Nama provision for impairment in CICB market segment of € 4,670 million included a specific charge of € 5,071
million, and a write-back of IBNR provision of € 401 million. While there have been increased provision charges across most sectors,
the key elements of the non NAMA specific provision charge related to (i) property loans, where the charge was € 2,933 million or
58% of the specific charge reflecting the impact of the continuing lack of activity in this sector, (ii) € 822 million or 16% related to the
distribution sector which has been affected by reduced consumer spending and € 515 million or 10% related to buy-to-let mortgages
influenced by pressure on sponsor affordability and further declines in house prices. The IBNR provision of € 401 million reflected the
write-back of IBNR provisions which had been raised at year end December 2010 based on the level of requests for restructure and
the uncertainty over true peak to trough asset price declines which have now been reflected in specific provisions, offset by the raising
of IBNR provisions based on management’s view of incurred loss in the portfolio at the reporting date. The IBNR stock of provisions
(statement of financial position) of € 1,110 million is based on management’s estimate of incurred loss in the book. € 714 million of
the statement of financial position has been allocated to the property portfolio which reflects the impact of continued pressure on
rental cash flows and uncertainty over the timing of a recovery in this sector. € 136 million has been allocated to the residential
mortgage portfolio based on recent provision experience and heightened levels of forbearance requests. The remaining € 260 million
has been allocated to SME/commercial portfolios which have been impacted by reduced consumer demand as a result of continued
high unemployment and lower disposable incomes.
The provision for impairment in the EBS for the six months to 31 December 2011 was € 323 million of which 94% related to
residential mortgages in Ireland.The statement of financial position provisions amounted to € 209 million in relation to property loans
and € 740 million for residential mortgages reflecting the pressure on affordability resulting in higher levels of arrears.
United Kingdom
The provision for impairment in the UK was € 1,369 million and included a provision of € 51 million relating to loans held for sale
to NAMA compared with € 152 million in 2010. The non-NAMA charge of € 1,318 million included € 1,087 million relating to
AIB UK and € 231 million relating to CICB customers.
In AIB UK, € 646 million or 59% of the charge related to borrowers in the property sector reflecting the continued pressure on
this sector, particularly in the land and development sub-sector. € 212 million of the AIB UK charge was in IBNR provisions which
included provisions raised in respect of management’s view of impairment in the ‘low start’ mortgage and land & development
property exposures in FTB and interest only Property and Business loans in GB. The levels of mortgages in forbearance and 90 days
past due but not impaired were also taken into consideration when determining the appropriate level of IBNR stock.The statement
of financial position IBNR provisions was € 427 million at 31 December 2011 and was allocated to the following portfolios: € 207
million to the property portfolio, € 100 million in relation to the residential mortgage portfolio and € 120 million to other
SME/commercial and consumer portfolios.
The charge in CICB of € 231 million related primarily to large corporates in the manufacturing, property, distribution, and other
services sectors and the statement of financial position was € 30 million across these sectors.
United States
The provision for impairment decreased compared with 2010 by € 4 million to € 25 million and relate to loans predominantly in the
property sector (62%) with provisions also in the energy, manufacturing, distribution and other services sectors impacted by a
reducing book.
Rest of World
The provision of € 12 million relates to loans in the property and other services sectors in the CICB market segment.
Disposal Groups
The impairment charge was € 24 million which related to the provision for 3 months to March 2011 in the BZWBK business.

Commentary on provision for impairment in 2010
The following commentary includes provisions for loans and receivables including loans and receivables held for sale to NAMA and loans and
receivables included within discontinued operations.
The provision for impairment for loans and receivables of € 6,120 million (4.97% of average advances) for the year ended
31 December 2010 was € 770 million higher than in 2009 (€ 5,350 million, 4.05% of average loans excluding € 5 million provision
for impairment for loans and receivables to banks). The level of provisions reflects the impact of the continuing economic difficulties
across our markets but particularly in Ireland where property markets remain depressed and unemployment is increasing.
The 2010 provision included € 1,497 million in relation to assets held for sale to NAMA and € 4,623 million for non-NAMA
advances.
The non-NAMA charge of € 4,623 million compared with € 1,977 million at December 2009 and included € 3,318 million of
specific provisions (2009: € 1,809 million) and € 1,305 million in IBNR (2009: € 168 million). The increase in specific provisions was
largely experienced in AIB Bank ROI and AIB UK divisions with the property construction and residential mortgage portfolios
being worst impacted. The increase in IBNR provisions of € 1,137 million reflects management’s view of the heightened level of
incurred loss in the book and the impact of the much changed economic situation, particularly in Ireland.
Ireland
The provision for impairment of € 5,309 million included a charge of € 1,339 million for loans held for sale to NAMA and
€ 3,970 million for non-NAMA loans and receivables to customers (December 2009: € 3,205 million and € 1,460 million
respectively excluding € 5 million provision for impairment for loans and receivables to banks).
The provision for non-NAMA loans of € 3,970 million related primarily to AIB Bank ROI where the provision of
€ 3,749 million (specific provisions: € 2,544 million and IBNR provisions:€ 1,205 million) accounted for 94.4% of the total
non-NAMA charge. The increase in AIB Bank ROI’s non-NAMA charge was € 2,491 million (Specific provisions:
€ 1,413 million, and IBNR provisions: € 1,078 million) with increases evident across most sectors. However, the most significant
increased charges were for loans in the property and construction sector, up € 1.6 billion to € 2,109 million and residential
mortgages, up € 0.3 billion to € 448 million, largely as a result of the continued lack of construction activity and increased
unemployment during 2010. The charge of € 1,205 million in IBNR income statement provisions in AIB Bank ROI had the impact
of increasing its statement of financial position IBNR provisions to € 1,842 million. In considering the appropriate level of IBNR,
the Group has taken into account the credit risk profile of the portfolio, particularly the level of arrears and 90+ days past due but not
impaired loans. Specific provision experience, particularly the most recent experience is considered, as historic average loss rates are
deemed to be unrepresentative of the incurred loss in the non impaired book. The IBNR provision charge has been allocated to the
following portfolios; € 312 million to residential mortgages (statement of financial position of € 368 million) which reflects recent
provision experience, the level of arrears, the level of requests for restructure and uncertainty over true peak to trough asset price
declines. The Group also took into consideration the levels of interest only mortgages in the portfolio and their maturity profile.
€ 666 million has been allocated to the property portfolio (statement of financial position of € 1,063 million) which reflects the
impact of further pressure on asset prices and rental cash flow and uncertainty over the timing of a general recovery in demand for
commercial property assets including land. € 172 million has been allocated to the SME/commercial portfolio (statement of financial
position of € 311 million) which again is influenced by recent provision experience, declining consumer demand and capital
spending. € 55 million has been allocated to other personal debt (statement of financial position of € 99 million) which is
influenced by provision experience, arrears profiles and concern over unemployment and income levels. These factors have been
considered together, rather than in isolation, and with an overlay of management judgement have resulted in the overall IBNR charge
mentioned above.
The non-NAMA provision charge in the Capital Markets division at € 221 million was up by € 19 million on December 2009,
primarily in IBNR provisions which have been influenced by the increased specific provisioning experience in the latter part of 2010.
United Kingdom
The provision for impairment increased by € 137 million to € 666 million at December 2010. The provision in AIB UK increased by
€ 192 million in the year to € 587 million of which € 152 million related to loans held for sale to NAMA (December 2009:
€ 166 million). The increased charge for non-NAMA loans and receivables to customers related in the main to loans in the property
and construction and residential mortgage sectors influenced by continued problems in the property market and rising
unemployment, particularly in Northern Ireland. The IBNR element of the AIB UK charge was € 59 million bringing the total stock
of IBNR provisions to € 197 million. Influencing the Group’s view of appropriate levels of IBNR provisions were a combination of
several key factors which included, the most recent specific provision experience, property asset prices and the time it will take for
normal markets for those assets to resume and the repayment profile of residential mortgages. There was a decrease of € 59 million in
144
3.1 Credit risk - Analysis of credit risk - 5 year summaries (continued)
Commentary on provision for impairment in 2010
the non-NAMA provision charge in the Capital Markets division primarily in the property sector influenced by a provision recovery
of € 38 million and lower charges in relation to the distribution and other services sectors in particular which are down on 2009 by
€ 41 million and € 16 million respectively offset by an increase in transport of € 29 million and IBNR provisions of € 20 million.
United States
The provision increased from € 10 million at 31 December 2009 to € 29 million at 31 December 2010 and reflects problems with
some loans in the transport, other services and property sectors in the Capital Markets division.
Rest of World
The provision of € 11 million at 31 December 2010 relates to loans in the property and other services sectors in the Capital Markets
division.
Discontinued operations
Poland
In 2010 the provision was € 105 million, a decrease of € 8 million on the 2009 charge, and largely reflects provisions raised for loans
in the property and SME sectors.
Additional information with respect to the provisions for impairment
The following table presents additional information with respect to the statement of financial position provisions as at 31 December
2011, 2010, 2009, 2008 and 2007.The 2011, 2010 and 2009 figures include provisions for impairment of loans and receivables held
for sale to NAMA and the 2010 figure also includes provisions for loans and receivables included within discontinued operations.

The increase in provisions from 7.63% to 15.14% reflects the impact that further property price reductions and rising unemployment,
particularly in Ireland, is having on our borrower’s ability to repay facilities, resulting in higher levels of provisions. Specific provisions
as a percentage of loans increased from 5.40% to 12.42% and are allocated to individual impaired loans (€ 24,833 million up from
€ 13,469 million for 2010).
The IBNR provision as a percentage of loans increased from 2.23% to 2.72% at December 2011 reflecting management’s view of
the incurred loss in the book at year end and is influenced by (i) the most recent provision experience for each pool; (ii) macro and
sector economic factors at the reporting date; (iii) grade profiles and increased level of pre-imparied arrears and (iv) levels of
non-impaired criticised loans and levels of requests for forbearance particularly in the residential mortgage portfolio in Ireland.

3.1 Credit risk - Analysis of credit risk - 5 year summaries (continued)
Analysis of loans and receivables to customers by contractual residual maturity and interest rate sensitivity
The following tables analyse gross loans to customers by maturity and interest rate sensitivity. Overdrafts, which in the aggregate
represent approximately 2% of the portfolio, are classified as repayable within one year. Approximately 10% of AIB Group’s loan
portfolio is provided on a fixed rate basis. Fixed rate loans are defined as those loans for which the interest rate is fixed for the full
term of the loan. The interest rate risk exposure is managed by Global Treasury within agreed policy parameters.
The analysis of loans and receivables to customers for both NAMA and disposal groups and non-current assets held for sale are
shown separately.

Cross-border outstandings
Cross-border outstandings, which exclude finance provided within AIB Group, are based on the country of domicile of the borrower
and comprise placings with banks and money at call and short notice, loans to customers (including those classified as held for sale to
NAMA and those held within discontinued operations), finance lease receivables and installment credit, acceptances and other
monetary assets, including non-local currency claims of overseas offices on local residents. AIB Group monitors geographic
breakdown based on the country of the borrower and the guarantor of ultimate risk. Cross-border outstandings exceeding 1% of total
assets are shown in the following table. In addition, the Group’s exposure to certain other EU countries are shown at 31 December
2011, 2010 and 2009.

3.1 Credit risk - Additional risk information on loans and receivables (continued)
(f) Total leveraged debt by geographic location and industry sector
Leveraged lending (including the financing of management buy-outs, buy-ins and private equity buy-outs) is conducted primarily
through specialist lending teams. The leveraged loan book set out below includes € 1,274 million (2010: € 3,335 million) of loans and
receivables to customers and Nil (2010: € 21 million) for disposal groups and non-current assets held for sale. Specific impairment
provisions of € 70 million (31 December 2010: € 79 million) are currently held against impaired exposures of € 106 million
(31 December 2010: € 190 million) where there has been a permanent reduction in the value of the credit assets in question. These
impaired exposures are not included in the analysis below. The unfunded element below includes off-balance sheet facilities and the
undrawn element of facility commitments.
The portfolio has been purposely reduced in the year to December 2011 in large part due to AIB’s deleveraging plans.

(1)In the Annual Financial Report 2010 funded leveraged debt of € 21 million relating to BZWBK was included in this analysis. In 2010 BZWBK was
treated as a discontinued operation (note 18).
Large exposures (including NAMA and discontinued operations)
AIB’s Group Large Exposure Policy sets out maximum exposure limits to, or on behalf of, a customer or a group of connected
customers.
At 31 December 2011, the Group’s top 50 exposures amounted to € 10.5 billion, and accounted for 10.6% (€ 11.5 billion and 11.0%
at 31 December 2010) of the Group’s on-balance sheet total gross loans and receivables to customers. Of this amount Nil relates to loans
held for sale to NAMA (2010: € 0.2 billion) and Nil relates to loans included within ‘Disposal groups and non-current assets held for
sale’ (2010: € 0.5 billion). No single customer exposure exceeds regulatory guidelines. See also Risk Management - Credit risk
management and mitigation. In addition, the Group holds NAMA senior bonds amounting to € 19.9 billion (2010: € 7.9 billion).

Risk management - 3. Individual risk types
3.1 Credit risk - Financial investments available for sale (continued)
Debt securities
Available for sale debt securities reduced from a fair value of € 20.5 billion at year end 2010 to € 15.1 billion at year end 2011. Sales
and maturities of € 8.8 billion were partially offset by the addition of €1.6 billion of securities held by EBS and also by purchases of
€ 1.7 billion. Disposals reflected a reduction in credit appetite for assets domiciled in selected Eurozone countries (e.g. the fair value of
holdings in Portugal, Italy, Greece and Spain combined reduced by € 2 billion for the year) and also a decision to reduce assets which
could not provide immediate access to liquidity where required (e.g. US, Canadian and Australian assets were reduced by a combined
total of € 1.7 billion).
Part of the reduction in fair value included specific provisions of € 164 million. This related, in the main, to Irish banks’
subordinated debt instruments of € 132 million, which were sold or exchanged for equity during the year. In addition, a provision of
€ 24 million was made against a € 40 million Greek Sovereign debt holding, and € 8 million was provided against an individual
Spanish subordinated bank debt holding of € 15 million. In addition to the specific provisions, an IBNR provision of € 10 million is
held against the remaining subordinated bank debt portfolio of € 125 million and an IBNR provision of € 50 million is held against
the remaining European asset backed securities holdings of € 1.1 billion.
The portfolio remains materially investment grade, with 35% rated AAA (2010 47%); 10% rated AA (2010 10%); 11% rated A
(2010 35%); and 41% rated BBB (2010 6%).
The Irish Government securities position increased from € 4.3 billion at year end 2010 to € 5.2 billion at year end 2011,
principally due to purchases in the late second half of the year for the purpose of hedging the interest rate risk on the Contingent
Capital Notes which were issued by AIB in July 2011.
At year end 2010, the bank bond fair value of € 5.4 billion included € 0.8 billion of covered bonds; € 1.1 billion of government
guaranteed senior bank debt; € 3 billion of senior unsecured bank debt; and € 0.5 billion of subordinated bank debt. At year end 2011,
the bank bond fair value of € 3.5 billion included € 1.1 billion covered bonds; € 0.9 billion of government guaranteed senior bank
debt; € 1.4 billion of senior unsecured bank debt; and € 0.1 billion subordinated bank debt. The increase in covered bonds relates to
assets held by EBS.
Other asset backed securities of € 1.2 billion (2010: € 2.6 billion) primarily relate to residential mortgage backed securities of
€ 1.1 billion (2010: € 2 billion) with the largest holdings in Spanish RMBS of € 0.6 billion (2010: € 0.7 billion).
Equity securities
NAMA subordinated bonds are included within available for sale equity securities. The fair value of these bonds at year end 2011 was
€ 132 million (against a nominal holding of € 478 million) compared with the year end 2010 fair value of € 169 million (against a
nominal holding at that time of € 423 million). An impairment provision of € 106 million was made at 31 December 2011 following
the release of NAMA accounts and additional disclosures by NAMA in the second half of the year.
In addition, a € 13 million provision was made against other equity securities.

3.1 Credit risk - Exposures to selected Eurozone countries
The Group’s principal area of operations is in the Republic of Ireland, accordingly, its most significant exposures arise there both in
terms of lending and investments. However, the Group also has exposures to certain other Eurozone countries which at 31 December
2011 or subsequently had a Standard & Poor’s rating of A or less. These exposures are mainly in the Group’s available for sale
portfolio.
Set out in the tables below is an analysis of these selected Eurozone exposures.
Basis of preparation:
- Exposures are shown at their balance sheet carrying value;
- Exposures are based on the country of operations of the counterparty;
-
-
For banking groups and corporates, the country of operations is where materially most of the entity’s assets are located and/or
materially most of the profits are earned;
For retail exposures, the country of operations is where materially most of the entity’s assets are located and/or materially most of
the profits are earned (country of residence);
- Exposures to sovereigns include governments, departments of governments, embassies, consulates and exposures on account of
cash balances and deposits with central banks; and
-
In relation to derivatives:
A positive fair value indicates an exposure. A negative fair value where ISDA applies is an offset to an exposure. A positive
Credit Support Annexes (“CSA”) balance is an offset to an exposure and a negative CSA balance is an increase in exposure.

Debt securities
Republic of Ireland
The fair value of holdings of Irish debt securities in the available for sale category at end 2011 of € 5.9 billion was made up of
sovereign debt € 5.2 billion; government guaranteed senior bank debt of € 0.5 billion; covered bonds of € 0.1 billion; and residential
mortgage backed securities of € 44 million. The 2010 fair value of Irish debt securities in AFS of € 4.7 billion comprised of sovereign
debt € 4.3 billion; government guaranteed senior bank debt of € 0.2 billion; subordinated bank debt of € 0.1 billion; senior bank debt
of € 0.05 billion; and residential mortgage backed securities of € 0.06 billion. The increase in fair value of the sovereign debt was due
to purchases in the second half of 2011 for the purpose of hedging the interest rate risk on the Contingent Capital Notes issued by
AIB.
Greece
The fair value of holdings of Greek debt securities at end 2011 of € 52 million (2010: € 92 million) was comprised of sovereign debt
€ 16 million (2010: € 36 million); asset backed securities of € 32 million (2010: € 50 million); and corporate debt of € 4 million
(2010: € 6 million). The fall in fair value in each instance was due to a fall in market prices. A specific provision of € 24 million was
made during 2011 against the € 40 million nominal Greek sovereign debt holding (€ 16 million fair value at end 2011).
Italy
The fair value of holdings of Italian debt securities at end 2011 of € 269 million (2010: € 1.33 billion) included sovereign debt
€ 175 million (2010: € 0.8 billion); asset backed securities of € 89 million (2010: € 122 million); and corporate debt of € 5 million
(2010: € 5 million). Senior bank debt, covered bonds and subordinated bank debt held at the end of 2010 in the amount of
€ 398 million were sold or matured during 2011.
Portugal
The fair value of holdings of Portuguese debt securities at end 2011 of € 231 million (2010: € 420 million) was comprised of
sovereign debt € 98 million (2010: € 238 million); asset backed securities of € 79 million (2010: € 130 million); and senior bank debt
of € 54 million (2010: € 52 million).
Spain
The fair value of holdings of Spanish debt securities at end 2011 of € 1.2 billion (2010: € 2 billion) included asset backed securities of
€ 0.6 billion (2010: € 0.8 billion); covered bonds of € 0.5 billion (2010: € 0.4 billion); subordinated bank debt of € 37 million (2010:
€ 0.1 billion); sovereign debt of € 30 million (2010: € 0.3 billion); and senior bank debt of € 6 million (2010: € 0.4 billion). The asset
backed securities at end 2011 were all residential mortgage backed securities which had been rated AAA at origination. The end 2011
ratings profile was AAA 35%; AA 52%; A 10%; BBB 2%; BB 1%; and the overall weighted average market bid price for the portfolio
was 71.45. The end 2011 ratings profile of the Spanish covered bond holdings was AAA 38%; AA 42%; A 8%; BBB 12%; and the
weighted average market bid price for the portfolio was 94.03.

3.2 Liquidity risk*
The objective of liquidity management is to ensure that, at all times, the Group holds sufficient funds to meet its contracted and
contingent commitments to customers and counterparties at an economic price.
Risk identification and assessment
Liquidity risk is assessed by modelling the net cash outflows of the Group over a series of maturity bands. Behavioural assumptions are
applied to those liabilities whose contractual repayment dates are not reflective of their inherent stability. These net cash outflows are
compared against the Group’s stock of liquid assets to consider, within each maturity band, the adequacy of the Group’s liquidity
position.
Risk management and mitigation
The Group’s liquidity management policy aims to ensure that it has sufficient liquidity to meet its current requirements. In addition,
it operates a funding strategy designed to anticipate additional funding requirements based upon projected balance sheet movements.
The Group undertakes liquidity stress testing and contingency planning to deal with unforeseen events. Stress tests include both firm
specific and systemic risk events and a combination of both. These scenario events are reviewed in the context of the Group’s liquidity
contingency plan, which details corrective action options under various levels of stress events. The purpose of these actions is to
ensure continued stability of the Group’s liquidity position, within the Group’s pre-defined liquidity risk tolerance levels.
The Group endeavours to maintain a diversified funding base with an emphasis on high quality, stable customer deposit funding
and maintaining a balance between short term and long term funding sources. The principles behind the Group’s liquidity
management policy aim to ensure that the Group can at all times meet its obligations as they fall due at an economic price. The
Group manages its liquidity in a number of ways. Firstly, through the active management of its liability maturity profile, it aims to
ensure a balanced spread of repayment obligations with a key focus on 0-8 day and 9 day - 1 month time periods. Monitoring ratios
apply to periods in excess of 1 month. Secondly, the Group aims to maintain a stock of high quality liquid assets to meet its
obligations as they fall due. Discounts are applied to these assets based upon their cash-equivalence and price sensitivity. Finally, net
outflows are monitored on a daily basis. The Group’s approach to liquidity management complies with the Central Bank’s revised
‘Requirements for the Management of Liquidity Risk’, introduced in July 2007.
Customer deposits represent the largest source of funding, with the Group’s core retail franchises and accompanying core retail
deposit base in Ireland and the UK providing the Group with a stable and reasonably predictable source of funds. Although a
significant element of these retail deposits are contractually repayable on demand or at short notice, the granularity of the Group’s
customer base generally mitigates this risk.
The Group saw a number of material changes to its customer deposit profile in 2011. Concerns in the first half of the year about
Ireland and the banking system saw outflows of approximately € 5 billion from the AIB franchises, after adjusting for the sale of
BZWBK. In February, the acquisition of the customer deposits of the former Anglo Irish Bank brought further diversification to the
customer deposits base. On 1 July 2011, the acquisition of EBS brought with it customer deposits, which amounted to € 8.5 billion at
31 December 2011. Following the PCAR announcement and the resultant recapitalisation of the Group, the deposit books stabilised.
The deposit books remained stable through the period of Europe-wide uncertainty in the latter months of the year.
The Irish Government Eligible Liabilities Guarantee (“ELG”) scheme continues to play an important role in underpinning the
funding position of the Group. The legislation to extend the ELG Scheme to 31 December 2012 (subject to EU state aid approval)
was signed into law on 8 December 2011. EU state aid approval for the extension of the ELG Scheme for the six month period to
30 June 2012 was also issued on 8 December 2011. In November 2011 the Group received approval from the Minister for Finance to
offer unguaranteed deposits to corporate customers. This is an important first step towards the Group’s ultimate aim of developing the
capability to fund itself without the necessity for ELG support. Additional information on the ELG scheme is included in note 56 to
the financial statements.
The Group monitors and manages the funding support provided by its deposit base to its loan book through a series of measures
including its externally reported customer loan to deposit ratio (“LDR”). As a consequence of the deposit developments outlined
above and the deleveraging that was achieved through asset sales and loan repayments, the Group’s LDR decreased from 165% at
31 December 2010 to 136% at 31 December 2011 (138% including loans and receivables held for sale). The Group is also managing
to interim targets agreed with the Central Bank of Ireland for the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (“LCR”) and Net Stable Funding Ratio
(“NSFR”) pending their formal introduction as regulatory standards in 2015 and 2018 respectively.

3.2 Liquidity risk* (continued)
Group Treasury manages the liquidity and funding requirements of the Group. Euro, sterling, and US dollar represent the most
important currencies to the Group from a funding and liquidity perspective. Access to wholesale markets for unsecured funding has
remained virtually closed to the Group and as a result the Group has required a significant dependency on the monetary authorities
for replacement funding. Progress on the deleveraging programme and receipt of a cash deposit from the NTMA in advance of the
Government capital injection enabled the Group to repay the non-standard facilities received from the Central Bank of Ireland in
April 2011.The Group at 31 December 2011 has availed of Central Bank funding of € 31 billion (includes EBS of € 4 billion), this is
down from € 37 billion at 31 December 2010. The Central Bank funding at 31 December 2010 included non-standard facilities of
€ 11 billion.The Group exited the non-standard facilities in April 2011. Central Bank drawings include the switch of € 3 billion from
short term operations into the 3 year Long Term Refinancing Operation (“LTRO”) at 31 December 2011. In January 2011, the
Group issued own-use bank bonds covered by the ELG which were eligible for ECB operations. These had a liquidity value of
€ 3.7 billion and were repaid in January 2012.The Group continues to develop the capability to create collateral pools from its loan
assets aimed at market investors and the recently widened ECB collateral framework.
Having been in breach of regulatory liquidity requirements since November 2010, the position was regularised following
completion of the capital raising process in July 2011 and the Group has since remained in compliance. In the absence of normal
market conditions and given the extent of support from the monetary authorities, the Group’s contingency liquidity management
framework remains activated.
The Group’s debt rating as at 23 February 2012 for all debt/deposits not covered by the Credit Institutions (Eligible Liability
Guarantee) Scheme 2009 are as follows: Standard and Poors long-term “BB” and short-term “B”, Fitch long-term “BBB” and
short-term “F2”; Moody’s long-term “Ba2” for deposits and “Ba3” for senior unsecured debt and short-term “Not Prime” for
deposits and senior unsecured debt.
The Group’s debt rating as at 23 February 2012 for all debt/deposits covered by the Credit Institutions (Eligible Liability
Guarantee) Scheme 2009 are as follows: Standard and Poors long-term “BBB+” and short-term “A-2”, Fitch long-term “BBB+” and
short-term “F2”; Moody's long-term “Ba1” and short-term “Not Prime”
Risk monitoring and reporting
In common with other areas of risk management, the Group operates a “three lines of defence” model. Risk monitoring and
reporting is carried out in the first line by Treasury ALM - Analysis, Reporting & Control (“TALM-ARC”) which reports directly to
the CFO. Second line assurance is provided by Financial Risk, reporting to the CRO and Group Internal Audit comprises the third
line.
The liquidity position of AIB is measured and monitored daily by TALM-ARC. The daily liquidity report sets out the Group’s
principal operating currencies of euro, sterling and US dollar. In addition to the regular Group ALCo, Executive Risk Committee and
Board monthly reporting on the liquidity and funding position of the Group, the Executive Committee and the Board are briefed on
liquidity and funding on an ongoing basis.
Further information on liquidity risk can be found in (notes 61 and 62) to the financial statements.
3.3 Market risk*
Market risk is the risk relating to the uncertainty of returns attributable to fluctuations in market factors such as adverse movements
in the level or volatility of market prices of items such as debt instruments, equities and currencies. Where the uncertainty is expressed
as a potential loss in value, it represents a risk to the income and capital position of the Group.
The Group assumes market risk as a result of its balance sheet and capital management activity. The Group’s Treasury function
assumes market risk as a consequence of the risk management services it provides to its client base and through risk
positioning in selected wholesale markets. In addition, the Treasury function is also authorised to trade on its own account in selected
wholesale markets. The strategies employed are desk and market specific and are approved on an annual basis through the Group’s
Risk Appetite Framework governance process.

3.3 Market risk* (continued)
Risk identification and assessment
Treasury is monitored by an independent control function, TALM-ARC which is tasked with capturing and monitoring all material
sources of market risk. The Financial Risk function, part of Group Risk, carries second line of defence responsibility for market risk,
providing independent oversight and assurance to the Risk Committees and Board.
In quantifying the portfolio’s market risk profile, the Group’s risk measurement systems are configured to address all material risk
factors. The Group’s core risk measurement methodology is based on an historical simulation application of the industry standard
Value at Risk (“VaR”) technique. The methodology incorporates the portfolio diversification effect within each standard risk factor
(interest rate, credit spread, foreign exchange, equity, as applicable). This VaR metric is derived from an observation of historical prices
over a period of one year, assessed at a 95% statistical confidence level and using a 1 day holding period.
Although an important measure of risk, VaR has limitations as a result of its use of historical data, holding periods and frequency
of calculation. The VaR methodology also assumes that markets remain constant over the given time horizon. Furthermore, the use of
confidence intervals does not convey any information about potential loss when the confidence level is exceeded. The Group
recognises these limitations and supplements its use with a variety of other techniques, including sensitivity analysis, interest rate gaps
by time period and daily open foreign exchange and equity positions. In particular, the sensitivity of the Group’s available for sale
(“AFS”) securities portfolio to a one basis point shift in credit spreads is actively monitored and the AFS securities portfolio is subject
to additional nominal limits. The size of the Group’s AFS portfolio and the net unrealised gains/losses are set out in note 34.
Stress-testing and scenario analysis are employed on an ongoing basis to gauge the Treasury portfolio’s vulnerability to loss under
stressful market conditions. Some stress-tests revolve around defining large, severe and extreme scenarios and determining the changes
in the value of Treasury’s portfolio of financial instruments in the event of any one scenario. Others, for example in the case of
interest rate risk portfolios employ principal components analysis (“PCA”) to analyse interest rate term structure factor sensitivity (i.e.
PCA identifies the three most predictive elements driving interest rate changes, namely parallel shift, twist and bow, and uses these in
the determination of alternative stressed portfolio valuation). For foreign exchange and equity portfolios, historical simulation
techniques are used to determine potential worst case outcomes.
Risk management and mitigation
In managing and overseeing market risk, the Group makes a distinction between its trading and non-trading activities. All trading
positions arise in a dealing room environment, are subject to the Group’s market risk management framework and are reviewed
monthly at the Financial Risk Forum, irrespective of accounting or regulatory treatment.
All other positions, most of which are structural in nature, are considered ‘non-trading’ and are subject to a management
framework that is determined by Group ALCo e.g. the risk management of non-interest bearing current account balances.
Market risk management in the Group is actively administered on the basis of clearly delegated authorities that reflect the
appropriate segregation of duty, fit for purpose trading environments with enabling technology and competent personnel with
relevant skill and experience. It should be noted that credit risk issues inherent in the market risk portfolios are subject to the credit
risk framework that was described in the previous section. A suite of policies and standards clarifies roles and responsibilities, and
provides for effective measurement, monitoring and review of dealing positions.
Market risk management aligns with trading business strategy through the articulation of an annual risk strategy and appetite
statement. This process yields a suite of market risk limits that considers both the risk (e.g. VaR) and financial (e.g. Embedded Value
and Stop Loss) impacts of Treasury activities.

Risk management - 3. Individual risk types
3.3 Market risk* (continued)
Risk monitoring and reporting
Quantitative and qualitative information is used at all levels of the organisation, up to and including the Board, to identify, assess and
respond to market risk. The actual format and frequency of risk disclosure depends on the audience and purpose and ranges from
transaction-level control and activity reporting to enterprise level risk profiles. For example, front office and risk functions receive the
full range of daily control and activity, valuation, sensitivity and risk measurement reports, while the Board receives a monthly market
risk commentary and summary risk profile.
Market risk profile
The following tables show Treasury’s market risk profile at the end of 2011 and 2010, measured in terms of Value at Risk (“VaR”) for
each standard risk type. For interest rate risk positions, the table also differentiates between those positions that are accounted for on a
mark to market (“MTM”) basis and those that are not. For internal reporting, the Group employs a 95% confidence interval, a 1-day
holding period and a 1 year sample period. The trading book exposures in Treasury are included in the MTM portfolio column and
the banking book exposures in Treasury are included in the ‘Other portfolio’ column. The equivalent profile for Allied Irish Banks,
p.l.c. is presented in note 74.
The following tables illustrate the VaR figures for the years ended 31 December 2011 and 2010. It should be noted that the 2011
figures are not directly comparable to 2010 figures due to the disposal of BZWBK and the migration to a new VaR estimation
methodology mid-year. The VaR estimation methodology was enhanced during the year to improve its risk sensitivity, drive
consistency of risk assessment across separate categories of market risk and to facilitation model validation. The sale of BZWBK was
completed in April 2011 and, consequently, the BZWBK Treasury VaR figures have been excluded from 2011 profile below. In
addition, AIB implemented an historical simulation-based VaR methodology in June 2011 and adopted a 95% confidence interval, 1
day holding period and 1 year sample data for reporting and limit management purposes (previously, AIB employed a variance-
covariance VaR methodology based on a 99% confidence interval, 1 month holding period and 3 years of sample data).

On a like for like basis (using 95% 1 day & 1 year data and excluding BZWBK from both 2011 and 2010), Treasury’s interest rate VaR
component rose slightly during 2011 to an average of € 4.9 million versus. € 3.5 million (end of year comparison was € 5.8 million
compared to € 2.8 million) but exposure remains well below 2008/2009 levels (for example, December 2009 was € 5.7 million and
December 2008 was € 13.1 million). Similarly, Treasury’s trading interest rate VaR average for 2011 was € 0.4 million compared to
€ 1.5 million in 2009.
The factors affecting the overall interest rate VaR in 2011 were:
a)
b)

d)
A fall in the level of underlying strategic market risk exposures as legacy positions moved closer to final maturity;
Increased Treasury banking book VaR arising from the management of the basis risk on the NAMA bond position as market
spreads (cash versus. derivative) reached stressed levels;
Lower trading book interest rate VaR reflecting the change in AIB’s business model and its concentration on liquidity
management and banking book risk management activities; and
A general reduction in Treasury’s risk appetite reflecting its current market view.

Risk management - 3. Individual risk types
3.4 Non-trading interest rate risk*
Non-trading interest rate risk is defined as the Group’s sensitivity to earnings volatility in its non-trading activity arising from
movements in interest rates. This is referred to as interest rate risk in the banking book. It reflects a combination of non-trading
treasury activity and interest rate risk arising in the Group’s retail, commercial and corporate operations. AIB’s treasury activity
includes its money market business and management of internal funds flows with the Group’s businesses. These treasury transactions
are also captured under the market risk VaR assessment measure. Non-trading interest rate risk in retail, commercial and corporate
banking activities can arise from a variety of sources, including where those assets and liabilities and off-balance sheet instruments
have different repricing dates.
Risk identification and assessment
Banking book interest rate risk is calculated on the basis of establishing the repricing behaviour of each asset, liability and off-balance
sheet product. For some products, the actual interest repricing characteristics differ from the contractual repricing arrangements. In
these cases, the repricing maturity is determined by the market interest rates that most closely fit the behaviour of the product interest
rate. For non-interest bearing current accounts, the repricing maturity is determined by the stability of the portfolio. The assumptions
behind these repricing maturities and the stability levels of portfolios are reviewed periodically by Group ALCo. The risks from these
exposures are managed through a series of VaR, basis point sensitivity and earnings at risk measures. The table below shows the
sensitivity of the Group’s banking book to a hypothetical immediate and sustained 100 basis point (“bp”) movement in interest rates
on 1 January 2012 and 2011 and its impact on net interest income over a twelve month
period (12 month earnings at risk).

The analysis is subject to certain simplifying assumptions including but not limited to: all rates of all maturities move simultaneously
by the same amount; all positions on wholesale books run to maturity; and there is no management action in response to movements
in interest rates, in particular no changes in product margins.
In practice, positions in both retail and wholesale books are actively managed and the actual impact on interest income will be
different to the model.
Risk management and mitigation
As a core risk management principle, the Group requires that all material interest rate risk is transferred to Group Treasury. This
transferred banking book risk is managed as part of Group Treasury’s overall interest rate risk position. The Group manages structural
interest rate risk volatility by maintaining a portfolio of instruments with interest rates fixed for several years. The size and maturity of
this portfolio is determined by characteristics of the interest-free or fixed-rate liabilities or assets and, in the case of equity, an assumed
average maturity.
Risk monitoring and reporting
Group ALCo monitors risk and has oversight responsibility for the Group’s banking book interest rate risk. Group ALCo meets on a
monthly basis and receives standing reports on the Group’s asset and liability risk profile. It monitors positions against limits on a
monthly basis. The Board approves and reviews relevant policies and limits.
*Forms an integral part of the audited financial statements.

3.5 Structural foreign exchange risk*
Structural foreign exchange exposures represent net investment in subsidiaries, associates and branches, the functional currencies of
which are currencies other than euro. The Group hedges structural foreign exchange exposures only in limited circumstances. The
Group’s objectives are to ensure, where practical, that its consolidated capital ratios are largely protected from the effect of changes in
exchange rates and that the Group’s foreign currency earnings are managed within tolerance levels based on the budget for the
forthcoming year, making use of other natural hedges within the Group’s balance sheet where these are available.
Risk identification and assessment
The Group prepares its consolidated statement of financial position in euro. Accordingly, the consolidated statement of financial
position is affected by movements in the exchange rates between foreign currencies and the euro. The Group is exposed to foreign
exchange risk as it translates foreign currencies into euro at each reporting period and the currency profile of the Group’s capital may
not necessarily match that of its assets and risk-weighted assets.
At 31 December 2011 and 2010, the Group’s structural foreign exchange position against the euro was as follows:
US dollar

A 10% strengthening in sterling against the euro would result in a decrease in the Group’s core tier 1 ratio by 22 bps as at December
2011.
Risk management and mitigation
The Group’s structural foreign exchange hedging activity (on foreign currency earnings) is overseen by the Treasurer, advised by the
Hedging Committee. The Hedging Committee also monitors and reports to Group ALCo on the foreign exchange sensitivity of
consolidated capital ratios. Group ALCo sets the framework for and reviews the management of these activities.
Risk monitoring and reporting
The Board reviews and approves relevant policies and limits. Group ALCo monitors the Group’s structural foreign exchange risks. It
meets on a monthly basis and receives standing reports on the Group’s asset and liability risk profile including structural foreign
exchange risk. Open positions are reported as differences between expected earnings in the current year and the value of hedges in
place.
Exchange differences on structural exposures are recognised in ‘other income’ in the financial statements.
3.6 Operational risk
Operational risk is the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events. It
includes legal risk, but excludes strategic and business risk. In essence, operational risk is a broad canvas of individual risk types which
include information technology, business continuity, heath and safety risks, and legal risk.
Risk identification and assessment
Risk and Control Self-Assessment (‘self-assessment’) is a core process in the identification and assessment of operational risk across the
enterprise. The process serves to ensure that key operational risks are proactively identified, evaluated, monitored and reported, and
that appropriate action is taken. Self-assessment of risks is completed at business unit level and these are incorporated into the
Operational Risk Self Assessment Risk template (“SART”) for the business unit. SARTs are regularly reviewed and updated by
business unit management. A matrix is in place to enable the scaling of risks and plans must be developed to introduce mitigants for
the more significant risks. Monitoring processes are in place at business and support level and Operational Risk Teams undertake
reviews to ensure the completeness and robustness of each business unit’s self-assessment, and that appropriate attention is given to the
more significant risks.
Risk management and mitigation
Each business area is primarily responsible for managing its own operational risks. An overarching Group Operational Risk
Management (“ORM”) framework is in place, designed to establish an effective and consistent approach to operational risk
management across the enterprise. The Group ORM framework is also supported by a range of specific policies addressing issues such
as information security and business continuity management.

179
Risk management - 3. Individual risk types
3.6 Operational risk (continued)
An important element of the Group’s operational risk management framework is the ongoing monitoring through self-assessment of
risks, control deficiencies and weaknesses, plus the tracking of incidents and loss events. The role of Operational Risk is to review and
coordinate operational risk management activities across the Group including setting policy and standards and promoting best practice
disciplines augmented by an independent assurance process.
The Group requires all business areas to undertake risk assessments and establish appropriate internal controls in order to make
sure that all components, taken together, deliver the control objectives of key risk management processes. In addition, an insurance
programme is in place, including a self insured retention, to cover a number of risk events which would fall under the operational risk
umbrella. These include financial lines policies (comprehensive crime/computer crime; professional indemnity/civil liability;
employment practices liability; directors and officers liability) and a suite of general insurance policies to cover such things as
property and business interruption, terrorism, combined liability and personal accident.
Risk monitoring and reporting
The primary objective of the operational risk management reporting and control process within the Group is to provide timely,
pertinent operational risk information to the appropriate management level so as to enable appropriate corrective action to be taken
and to resolve material incidents which have already occurred. A secondary objective is to provide a trend analysis on operational risk
and incident data for the Group. The reporting of operational incidents and trend data at the Executive Risk and Board Risk
committees supports these two objectives. In addition, the Board, Group Audit Committee and the Executive Committee receive
summary information on significant operational incidents on a regular basis.
Business units are required to review and update their assessment of their operational risks on a regular basis. Operational Risk
assurance teams undertake review and challenge assessments of the business unit risk assessments. In addition, quality assurance teams
which are independent of the business undertake reviews of the operational controls in the retail branch networks as part of a
combined regulatory/compliance/operational risk programme.
Operational Risk - New Target Operating Model
AIB has developed a new target operating model for operational risk to ensure the framework outlined above is embedded and
executed more robustly across the Group. The key principles of the new model are:
- A strong operational risk function, appropriately staffed and clearly independent of the first line of defence;
- Technology in place to support assessment and mitigation of operational risks; and
- Greater control effectiveness testing by operational risk.
3.7 Regulatory compliance risk*
Regulatory compliance risk is defined as the risk of regulatory sanctions, material financial loss or loss to reputation which the Group
may suffer as a result of failure to comply with all applicable laws, regulations, rules, standards and codes of conduct applicable to its
activities.
Regulatory Compliance is an enterprise-wide function which operates independently of the business. The function is responsible
for identifying compliance obligations arising in each of the Group’s operating markets. Regulatory Compliance work closely with
management in assessing compliance risks and provide advice and guidance on addressing these risks. Risk-based monitoring of
compliance by the business with regulatory obligations is undertaken. The Regulatory Compliance function also promotes the
embedding of an ethical framework within AIB’s businesses to ensure that the Group operates with honesty, fairness and integrity. A
code of Business Ethics is in place for all staff alongside a Leadership Code for more senior staff. These are supported by a suite of
policies. New Board driven codes are being put in place to enhance and build on the existing codes.
Risk identification and assessment
The Regulatory Compliance function is specifically responsible for independently identifying and assessing current and forward
looking ‘conduct of business’ compliance obligations, including anti-money laundering and regulation on privacy and data protection.
The identification, interpretation and communication roles relating to other legal and regulatory obligations have been assigned to
functions with specialist knowledge in those areas. For example, employment law is assigned to Human Resources, taxation law to
Group Taxation and prudential regulation to the Finance and Risk functions.
Regulatory Compliance undertakes a periodic detailed assessment of the key ‘conduct of business’ compliance risks and
associated mitigants. These are collated and processed by Regulatory Compliance into an overall enterprise-wide review of
compliance risks as part of the Group’s Material Risk Assessment. This is reviewed by the ERC and ultimately, the Group Audit
Committee. The Regulatory Compliance function supports and validates this approach by operating a risk framework model that is
used in collaboration with business units to identify, assess and manage key compliance risks at business unit level. These risks are
incorporated into the SARTs for the relevant business unit.
180
*Forms an integral part of the audited financial statements
3.7 Regulatory compliance risk (continued)
Risk management and mitigation
The Board, operating through the Audit Committee, approves the Group’s compliance policy and the mandate for the Regulatory
Compliance function.
Management is responsible for ensuring that the Group complies with its regulatory responsibilities. ExCo’s responsibilities in
respect of compliance include the establishment and maintenance of the framework for internal controls and the control environment
in which compliance policy operates thereby ensuring that Regulatory Compliance is suitably independent from business activities
and that it is adequately resourced.
The primary role of the Regulatory Compliance function is to provide direction and advice to enable management to discharge
its responsibility for managing the Group’s compliance risks. Regulatory Compliance is also mandated to conduct investigations of
possible breaches of compliance policy and to appoint outside legal counsel or other specialist external resources to perform this task,
if appropriate.
The principal compliance risk mitigants are risk identification, assessment, measurement and the establishment of suitable controls
at business level. In addition, the Group has insurance policies that cover a number of risk events which fall under the regulatory
compliance umbrella.
Risk monitoring and reporting
Regulatory Compliance undertakes risk-based monitoring of compliance with relevant policies, procedures and regulatory
obligations. Monitoring can be undertaken by either dedicated compliance monitoring teams or quality assurance teams in retail
segments, covering both operational risk and regulatory compliance, at the direction of the compliance function.
Risk prioritised annual compliance monitoring plans are prepared based on the risk assessment process. Monitoring is undertaken
both on a business unit and a process basis. The annual monitoring plan is reviewed regularly, and updated to reflect changes in the
risk profile from emerging risks, changes in risk assessments and new regulatory ‘hotspots’. Issues emerging from compliance
monitoring are escalated for management attention, and action plans and implementation dates are agreed. The implementation of
these action plans is monitored by Regulatory Compliance.
Regulatory Compliance report to the Executive Risk Committee, business unit management teams and independently to the
Board of directors, through the Audit Committee, on the effectiveness of the processes established to ensure compliance with laws
and regulations within its scope.
3.8 Pension risk
Pension’s risk is the risk that the funding position of the Group’s defined benefit plans would deteriorate to such an extent that the
Group would be required to make additional contributions to cover its pension obligations towards current and former employees.
Pension risk includes market risk, investment risk and actuarial risk. The Group maintains a number of defined benefit pension
schemes for past and current employees, further details of which are included in note 12 to the financial statements. The ability of the
pension funds to meet the projected pension payments is maintained through the diversification of the investment portfolio across
geographies and across a wide range of assets including equities, bonds and property. Market risk arises because the estimated market
value of the pension fund assets might decline or their investment returns might reduce. Actuarial risk is the risk that the estimated
value of the pension liabilities might increase. In these circumstances, the Group could be required, or might choose, to make extra
contributions to the pension fund.

each year end.
(2)Excludes purchased residential mortgage pools of € 178 million (2010: € 196 million).

property which is acceptable as collateral and the loan to property value relationship. Collateral valuations are required at the time of
origination of each residential mortgage. The fair value at 31 December 2011 is based on the property values at origination and
applying the CSO (Ireland) and Nationwide (UK) indices to these values to take account of price movements in the interim.

in the Consolidated income statement on page 254.
Dividend
There was no dividend paid in 2011.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. In making its assessment of the Group’s ability to continue as a
going concern, the Board of Directors have taken into consideration the significant economic and market risks and uncertainties that
currently impact Irish financial institutions and the Group. These include the ability to access Eurosystem funding and Central Bank
liquidity facilities to meet liquidity requirements. In addition, the Directors have considered the current level of capital and the
potential requirement for capital in the assessment period. Furthermore, the Directors considered the risks and uncertainties impacting
the Eurozone.
Credit Institutions (Stabilisation) Act 2010
The Directors have a duty to have regard to the matters set out in the Credit Institutions (Stabilisation) Act 2010 (‘the Act’). This
duty is owed by the Directors to the Minister for Finance (‘the Minister’) on behalf of the State and, to the extent of any
inconsistency, takes priority over any other duties of the Directors. Under the terms of the Act the Minister may, in certain
circumstances, direct the Company to undertake actions, which may impact on the pre-existing legal and contractual rights of
shareholders. Such directions may include the dis-application of shareholder pre-emption rights, an increase in the Company’s
authorised share capital, the issue of shares to the Minister or to another person nominated by the Minister, or amendments to the
Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association.
Capital
Information on the structure of the Company’s share capital, including the rights and obligations attaching to each class of shares, is set
out in note 46 and in the Schedule on page 431.

- On 31 March 2011, following completion of the Central Bank of Ireland’s Financial Measures Programme, Prudential Capital
Assessment Review (“PCAR”) and the Prudential Liquidity Assessment Review (“PLAR”), the Central Bank announced the
requirement for the Company to raise equity capital of € 9.1 billion in addition to the requirement of approximately € 4.2 billion
deferred from February 2011, bringing the total capital which AIB would be required to raise to € 13.3 billion (subsequently
increased to € 14.8 billion following the acquisition of EBS Limited);
- On 1 April 2011, the Company completed the sale of its stake in Bank Zachodni WBK S.A., following which on 7 April 2011,
the National Pensions Reserve Fund commission (“NPRFC”) issued a Conversion Order to convert all of its CNV Shares (total
shares 10,489,899,564 (€3,357 million)) into ordinary shares. The conversion was completed on 8 April 2011;
- On 13 May 2011, arising from the non-payment of a dividend amounting to € 280 million on the 2009 Preference Shares, the
NPRFC became entitled to bonus shares and the Company issued 484,902,878 new ordinary shares by way of a bonus issue to
the NPRFC in part settlement of the dividend. In accordance with the Company’s Articles of Association, an amount of
€ 155 million, equal to the nominal value of the shares issued, was transferred from share premium to ordinary share capital.The
remainder of the bonus shares due to the NPRFC of 762,370,687 were issued to the NPRFC following the required approvals by
the shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting (“EGM”) on the 26 July 2011. This issue included an additional 38,118,535
shares, prescribed by the Company’s Articles of Association as a result of the 2011 annual cash dividend not being satisfied in full
on the due date.This issue of shares resulted in € 8 million (the nominal value of the shares issued was € 0.01 per share) being
transferred from share premium to ordinary share capital;
- On 26 July 2011, following the passing of shareholder resolutions at the EGM:
- the ordinary shares of the Company were renominalised; each ordinary shares of € 0.32 was subdivided into one ordinary
share of € 0.01, each carrying the same rights and obligations as an existing ordinary share, and thirty one deferred shares
204
of € 0.01. The deferred shares created on the renominalisation had no voting rights or dividend rights and had no
economic value;
- the Company acquired all of the deferred shares for nil consideration and immediately cancelled them in accordance with
its Articles of Association adopted at the EGM which resulted in € 3,985 million transferring from share capital to a
capital redemption reserve fund;
- all of the authorised but unissued preference shares denominated in Sterling, US dollars, Yen and euro (with the
exception of the 2009 Preference Shares) were cancelled;
- On 27 July 2011, the Company issued 500 billion ordinary shares of € 0.01 each to the NPRFC at a subscription price of € 0.01
per share as part of the capital raising transaction agreed with the Irish Government.

with effect from 12 December 2011, following the appointment of Mr. David Duffy as Chief Executive Officer.
The role of the Chairman is traditionally separate from the role of the Chief Executive Officer, with clearly-defined responsibilities
attaching to each; these are set out in writing and agreed by the Board.
Chief Executive Officer
The Chief Executive Officer is responsible for the day-to-day running of the Group, ensuring an effective organisation structure, the
appointment, motivation and direction of senior executive management, and for the operational management of all the Group’s
businesses. Mr. David Duffy was appointed Chief Executive Officer on 12 December 2011 and was co-opted to the Board on
15 December 2011.
During 2011, prior to Mr. Duffy’s appointment, the day-to-day management of the Group was the responsibility of the then
Executive Chairman, Mr. David Hodgkinson, which role included, inter alia, oversight of the extensive work on the restructuring of the
organisation, including Board and Senior Management renewal, capital raising, and management of the process for the appointment of a
full-time Chief Executive Officer.

3. Corporate Governance statement
Senior Independent Non-Executive Director
Mr. David Pritchard was the Senior Independent Non-Executive Director until his resignation from the Board on 26 July 2011.
Appointment of a Senior Independent Non-Executive Director will be made in due course as part of the Board renewal programme.
Company Secretary
The Directors have access to the advice and services of the Company Secretary, Mr. David O’Callaghan, who is responsible for ensuring
that Board procedures are followed and that applicable rules and regulations are complied with.
Board Meetings
The Chairman sets the agenda for each Board meeting.The Directors are provided with relevant papers in advance of the meetings to
enable them to consider the agenda items, and are encouraged to participate fully in the Board’s deliberations. Executive management
attend Board meetings and make regular presentations.
The Board held 11 scheduled meetings during 2011, and 23 additional out-of-course meetings or briefings. Attendance at Board
meetings and meetings of Committees of the Board is reported on below. During a number of Board meetings, the Non-Executive
Directors met in the absence of the Executive Directors, in accordance with good governance standards. In addition to their attendance
at Board and Committee meetings, Non-Executive Directors attended Board meetings of overseas subsidiaries and held consultative
meetings with the Chairman.
Board Membership
It is the policy of the Board that a majority of the Directors should be Non-Executive. At 31 December 2011, there were 8 Non-
Executive Directors and 2 Executive Directors. The Board deems the appropriate number of Directors to meet the requirements of the
business to be between 10 and 14; efforts to recruit additional Directors are currently underway. Non-Executive Directors are appointed
so as to maintain an appropriate balance on the Board, and to ensure a sufficiently wide and relevant mix of backgrounds, skills and
experience to provide strong and effective leadership and appropriate challenge to executive management.
The names of the Directors, with brief biographical notes, appear on pages 201 to 203. In the performance of their functions, the
Directors have a duty to have regard to the matters mentioned in section 4 of the Credit Institutions (Stabilisation) Act 2010 (‘the Act’).
The duty imposed by the Act is owed by the Directors to the Minister for Finance on behalf of the Irish State, and takes priority over
any other duty of the Directors to the extent of any inconsistency.Thereafter, all Directors are required to act in the best interests of the
Company, and to bring independent judgement to bear in discharging their duties as Directors.
There is a procedure in place to enable the Directors to take independent professional advice, at the Company’s expense. The
Company holds insurance cover to protect Directors and Officers against liability arising from legal actions brought against them in the
course of their duties.
Performance Evaluation
The Board has a formal annual process in place for reviewing the effectiveness of the Board, its Committees and individual Directors.
This process incorporates, in accordance with corporate governance provisions, the retention of an external evaluator to undertake the
effectiveness review at least every three years, and in years subsequent to the previous external review where the review findings have
raised matters which require Board attention.
During 2010, an evaluation of the performance of the Board and Board Committees was conducted by Promontory Financial
Group (UK) Ltd and Mazars LLP as part of their review of the effectiveness of the Board and of the Group’s Risk Framework, and the
results were presentedto the Board and to the Central Bank of Ireland. During 2011, the Board retained Mazars LLP to conduct a
further review of Board and Committee effectiveness and the results were presented to the Board and the Central Bank during March
2012.
The Chairman meets annually with each Director individually to review their performance.These reviews include discussion of,
inter alia,the Directors’ individual contributions and performance at the Board and relevant Board Committees, the conduct of Board
meetings, the performance of the Board as a whole and its committees,compliance with the Director-specific provisions of the Central
Bank Code, the requirements of the Central Bank’s Fitness and Probity Regulations, and other specific matters which the Chairman
and/or Directors may wish to raise. Attendance at Board and Committee meetings is one of a number of important factors considered
in evaluating Directors’ performance, and a table showing each Board Member’s participation in such meetings appears below and
separately within the commentary on each of the Board Committees on the following pages.

number of meetings attended by each Director during 2011. The Board held 11 scheduled meetings during 2011, and 23 additional out-of-course meetings or
briefings.
Terms of Appointment
Non-Executive Directors are generally appointed for a three-year term, with the possibility of renewal for a further three years; the
term may be further extended, in exceptional circumstances, on the recommendation of the Nomination and Corporate Governance
Committee.
Mr. Declan Collier and Mr. Dick Spring were appointed Non-Executive Directors, in 2009, as nominees of the Minister for Finance
under the Irish Government’s Credit Institutions (Financial support) Scheme 2008 (S.I. No. 411 of 2008). Dr. Michael Somers was
appointed Non-Executive Director, in 2010, as a nominee of the Minister for Finance under the Irish Government’s National
Pensions Reserve Fund Act 2000 (as amended).
Following appointment, in accordance with the requirements of the Articles of Association, Directors are required to retire at the
next Annual General Meeting (“AGM”), and may go forward for reappointment, and are subsequently required to make themselves
available for re-appointment at intervals of not more than three years. Under the terms of the Government’s preference share
investment, Messrs. Collier, Somers and Spring are not required to stand for election or regular re-election by shareholders.
Since 2005, all Directors, excluding Messrs. Collier, Spring and Somers, have retired from office at the AGM and have offered
themselves for reappointment. Since the 2011 AGM, the Central Bank has confirmed that Messrs. Collier, Spring and Somers should
be considered independent for the purposes of the Central Bank Code and will, therefore, stand for re-election by shareholders with
the other Directors at the 2012 AGM. Letters of appointment, as well as dealing with appointees’ responsibilities, stipulate that a
specific time commitment is required from Directors. A copy of the standard terms of the letter of appointment of Non-Executive
Directors is available on request from the Company Secretary.
The Board has determined that all Non-Executive Directors in office in December 2011, namely Mr.Simon Ball, Mr. Declan
Collier, Mr. David Hodgkinson, Mr. Jim O’Hara, Dr. Michael Somers, Mr. Dick Spring, Mr. Tom Wacker and Ms. Catherine Woods are
independent in character and judgement and free from any business or other relationship with the Company or the Group that could
affect their judgement.
Induction and Professional Development
There is an induction process for new Directors. Its content varies between Executive and Non-Executive Directors. In respect of the
latter, the induction is designed to familiarise Non-Executive Directors with the Group and its operations, and comprises the provision
of relevant briefing material, including details of the Company’s strategic and operational plans, and a programme of meetings with the
Chief Executive Officer, the Senior Executive team and the Senior Management of businesses and support functions. A programme of
209
Governance & oversight -
3. Corporate Governance statement
targeted and continuous professional development for Non-Executive Directors is scheduled for implementation during 2012.
Board Committees
The Board is assisted in the discharge of its duties by a number of Board Committees, whose purpose it is to consider, in greater
depth than would be practicable at Board meetings, matters for which the Board retains responsibility.The composition of such
Committees is reviewed annually by the Board. A description of these Committees, each of which operates under Terms of Reference
approved by the Board, and their membership, is given later in this section.The minutes of all meetings of Board Committees are
circulated to all Directors, for information, with their Board papers, and are formally noted by the Board.
This provides an opportunity for Directors who are not members of those Committees to seek additional information or to
comment on issues being addressed at Committee level.The Terms of Reference of the Audit Committee, the Board Risk
Committee, the Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee, and the Remuneration Committee are available on AIB’s
website: www.aibgroup.com. In carrying out their duties, the Board Committees are entitled to take independent professional advice,
at the Company’s expense, where deemed necessary or desirable by the Committee Members.
Audit Committee
Current Members: Ms. Catherine Woods, Chairman (member from 27 January 2011 and Chairman from 26 July 2011); Mr. Declan
Collier; Mr. Jim O’Hara (from 27 January 2011); Mr. Tom Wacker (from 17 November 2011).

The Audit Committee comprises Non-Executive Directors whom the Board has determined have the collective skills and relevant
financial experience to enable the Committee to discharge its responsibilities.The Audit Committee has oversight responsibility for:
-
-
-
-
These responsibilities are discharged through its meetings and receipt of reports from management, the Auditor, the Chief Financial
Officer, the Group Internal Auditor, the Chief Risk Officer and the Head of Regulation and Compliance.
the quality and integrity of the Company’s accounting policies, financial statements and disclosure practices;
compliance with relevant laws, regulations, codes of conduct and ‘conduct of business’ rules;
the independence and performance of the External Auditor (‘the Auditor’) and the Group Internal Auditor; and
the adequacy and performance of systems of internal control and the management of financial and non-financial risks.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that the Audit Committee membership includes an ‘audit committee financial expert’, as defined
in related SEC rules. Mr. Stephen L Kingon was deemed by the Board to be an ‘independent audit committee financial expert’ and,
following Mr. Kingon’s resignation from the Board on 26 July 2011, the Board determined that Ms Catherine Woods is an
‘independent audit committee financial expert’ for these purposes. Ms Woods has accepted this determination on the understanding
that she has not thereby agreed to undertake additional responsibilities beyond those of a member and Chairman of the Audit
Committee.
During 2011, the Audit Committee met on fourteen occasions.The following, whilst not intended to be exhaustive, is a summary
of the activities undertaken by the Committee in the discharge of its responsibilities. The Committee:
-
reviewed the Group’s annual and interim financial statements prior to approval by the Board, including: the Group’s accounting
policies and practices; the minutes of the Group Disclosure Committee (an Executive Committee whose role is to ensure the
compliance of AIB Group Financial Information with legal and regulatory requirements prior to external publication); reports on
compliance; effectiveness of internal controls; and the findings, conclusions and recommendations of the Auditor and Group
Internal Auditor;
-
reviewed the scope of the independent audit, and the findings, conclusions and recommendations of the Auditor;

Chairman of the Committee, Ms. Catherine Woods, met with the Group Internal Auditor and the Lead Audit Partner between
scheduled meetings of the Committee to discuss material issues arising;
-
received rolling updates from the Chief Risk Officer and the Head of Regulation and Compliance to satisfy itself that the Group
was in compliance with all regulatory and compliance obligations and considered key developments and emerging issues,
particularly in respect of the Group’s responsibilities under the Government Guarantee and Capital Subscription and Planning
Agreements with the Minister for Finance, the operation of the Speak-Up process and key interactions with Regulators in the
various jurisdictions;
-
-
reviewed the minutes of all meetings of subsidiary companies’ Audit Committees, requesting and receiving further clarification on
issues when required, and met with, and received annual reports from, the subsidiary Audit Committee chairmen; and

The Board Risk Committee was established to assist the Board in proactively fostering sound risk governance within the Group
through ensuring that risks are appropriately identified and managed, and that the Group’s strategy is informed by, and aligned with,
the Board approved risk appetite.
The Board Risk Committee comprises Non-Executive Directors whom the Board has determined have the collective skills and
relevant experience to enable the Committee to discharge its responsibilities. To ensure co-ordination of the work of the Board Risk
Committee with the risk related considerations of the Audit Committee, the Chairman of the Audit Committee is also a member of
the Board Risk Committee.
The Board Risk Committee has responsibility for:
-
-
providing oversight and advice to the Board in relation to current and potential future risks facing the Group and risk strategy
in that regard, including the Group’s risk appetite and tolerance;
the effectiveness of the Group’s risk management infrastructure;
- monitoring and reviewing the Group’s risk profile, risk trends, risk concentrations and risk policies; and
-
considering and acting upon the implications of reviews of risk management undertaken by Group Internal Audit and/or external
third parties.

AIB’s remuneration policies are set and governed by the Remuneration Committee whose purpose, duties and membership are set by
its Terms of Reference which may be viewed on the website: www.aibgroup.com.The scope of the Committee’s activities is broad
based, ranging from setting pay policy to determining appropriate pension arrangements.
The Remuneration Committee’s responsibilities include recommending to the Board: Group remuneration policies and practices;
the remuneration of the Chairman of the Board (which matter is considered in his absence); and,performance-related and share-based
incentive schemes when appropriate.
The Committee also determines the remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer, and, in consultation with the Chief Executive
Officer, the remuneration of other Executive Directors, when in office, and the other members of the Executive Committee, under
advice to the Board. Details of the total remuneration of the Directors in office during 2011 and 2010 are shown in note 63 on page
380.
The Remuneration Committee is also required to review the remuneration components of Identified Staff who are individuals
classified as ‘material risk takers’ by AIB in accordance with the Remuneration Guidelines of the European Banking Authority
(“EBA”). Remuneration matters of a significant nature are also considered by the Board.
The Committee met twice during 2011.
Remuneration Policy and Governance
The Terms of Reference of the Remuneration Committee were reviewed in 2011 by the Committee and its independent advisors
Kepler Associates following which, changes were made, with Board approval, to reflect regulatory guidance and changing market
practice on governance and risk management.The governance and scope of AIB’s remuneration policies and practices were extended
to include all financial benefits for employees while confirming the company wide coverage of all remuneration policies.
The adoption of remuneration policies and practices, which are both fair and competitive and that support sustainable
performance over the long-term, is a key responsibility of the Board. The Board recognises the need to take account of appropriate
input from AIB’s control functions in its decision making, and to ensure that remuneration policies and practices are consistent with
and promote effective risk management, and that they do not encourage excessive risk taking but support the maintenance of a sound
capital base and the required liquidity levels. Striking this balance involves detailed consideration of remuneration matters by the
Remuneration Committee whose members have no personal interest in the outcome.
AIB reviewed and adapted its remuneration policies in 2011 to take account of the remuneration requirements of the Capital
Requirements Directive CRD III and the related EBA Guidelines, which came into force in January 2011, to ensure that its
remuneration policies and practices are fully consistent with, and promote, effective risk management.
AIB’s revised pay policy contains a range of important design features which together will ensure that the remuneration of
Identified Staff, and of any other employee at the discretion of the Remuneration Committee, is fully compliant with the EBA
Guidelines.
These requirements principally relate to:
- Quantitative and qualitative risk-adjusted performance measurement;
- Deferral structures which will ensure performance is measured over both the short and medium term; and
- The inclusion of forfeiture, claw back and discretionary provisions in remuneration schemes.
213
Governance & oversight -
3. Corporate Governance statement
In December 2011, AIB published a Remuneration Disclosure Report 2010 in accordance with the EBA Guidelines which
summarised AIB’s principal remuneration policies and practices and which provided aggregated remuneration data for Identified Staff.
The list of Identified Staff was compiled in consultation with the relevant business areas and control functions while taking account of
the extent of individuals’ reporting lines, and the degree to which individuals’ decision making was subject to control and approval
through credit committees or trading limits. The Remuneration Disclosure Report for 2011 will be included in AIB’s CRD III
Disclosures 2011.
While the design features required by the EBA are now included in AIB’s remuneration policy there was little scope in practice to
implement the design requirements of the remuneration schemes because of the financial position of the Group, and the constraints
on remuneration arising from AIB’s commitments under the Subscription and Placing Agreements between AIB and the National
Pensions Reserve Fund Commission (“NPRFC”) and the National Treasury Management Agency (“NTMA”) and the Minister for
Finance. There were no bonus schemes or share schemes in operation in 2011.Any incentive schemes that are implemented in the
future will be structured in line with the new regulatory requirements and AIB’s revised remuneration policy.
Remuneration policy in general is strongly influenced by the Group’s significant reliance on State support and the requirements
and constraints arising from the Subscription and Placing Agreements. The Group is in dialogue on an ongoing basis with the State
authorities on remuneration matters.
Central Bank Review
The Central Bank of Ireland completed a review of AIB’s remuneration policies and practices in September 2011 with the primary
objective of assessing the level of AIB’s compliance with the provisions of the remuneration guidelines issued by the EBA. The review
covered:
- Remuneration policy;
- The Terms of Reference of the Remuneration Committee;
- Changes made by AIB to ensure it is in compliance with the EBA Remuneration Guidelines;
- A review of Identified Staff including their remuneration components; and
- Other selected remuneration data.
The findings of the review and required actions are included in AIB’s Risk Mitigation Programme. While no material issues were
identified by the review, the Central Bank requested that a number of the EBA requirements be more clearly expressed in AIB’s
remuneration policy to ensure AIB was fully compliant with all aspects of the Guidelines.These relate to:
- Ensuring that incentive awards are restricted to maintain an adequate capital base and also when in receipt of State support; and
- The adjustment of incentive pools for current and future risk.
Independent Advisors
Kepler Associates provided independent advice to the Committee during 2011 on a number of reward matters including market
benchmarking of senior executive salaries.
Remuneration Review
The salary of the Chief Executive Officer was set at € 500,000. The base salaries of the members of the Executive Committee were
managed in accordance with AIB’s obligations under the Subscription and Placing agreements by the Remuneration Committee and
are in a range of €225,000 to €400,000 in accordance with the recommendations of the Covered Institutions Remuneration
Oversight Committee (“CIROC”).
AIB’s remuneration spend continued to be closely managed in 2011 against a background of increasing competition for key skills
and higher levels of staff turnover particularly in credit, IT and other financial services control functions. In summary:
- There were no general salary increases or increments paid;
- There were no bonus schemes or share based incentives operating;
-
Payments made to retain staff in key roles or where staff stepped up to expanded roles with increased responsibilities were notified
in advance to the Remuneration Committee and managed within agreed budgetary parameters; and
- Quarterly reports were submitted to the Department of Finance including details of any payments or salary increases in excess of
€1,000.
Directors’ Remuneration
Details of the total remuneration of the Directors in office during 2011 and 2010 are shown in note 63 on page 380.
Relations with Shareholders
The Group has a number of procedures in place to allow its shareholders and other stakeholders to stay informed about matters
affecting their interests. In addition to this Annual Financial Report, which is only sent to those shareholders who request it, the
following communication tools are used by the Group.
214
Summary Shareholders’ Report
The Shareholders Report is a summary version of AIB’s main Annual Financial Report.This report, which covers AIB’s performance
in the previous year, is sent to shareholders who have opted to receive it instead of the main Annual Financial Report. This summary
report does not form a part of the Annual Financial Report or Form 20-F and is referred to for reference purposes only.
Website
The website, www.aibgroup.com, contains, for the previous five years, the Annual Financial Report, the Interim Report/Half-yearly
Financial Report, and the Annual Financial Report on Form 20-F.The Company’s presentation to fund managers and analysts of
annual and interim financial results are available on the internet, and may be accessed on the Company’s website: www.aibgroup.com.
Since 2009, the Annual Financial Report and the Annual Report on Form 20-F have been combined in the form of this Annual
Financial Report. None of the information on the website is incorporated in, or otherwise forms part of, this Annual Financial
Report.
Annual General Meeting (“AGM”)
All shareholders are invited to attend the AGM and to participate in the proceedings. At the AGM, it is practice to give a brief update
on the Group’s performance and developments of interest for the year to date. Separate resolutions are proposed on each separate issue
and voting is conducted by way of poll.The votes for, against, and withheld, on each resolution, including proxies lodged, are
subsequently published on AIB’s website. Proxy forms provide the option for shareholders to direct their proxies to withhold their

Governance & oversight -
3. Corporate Governance statement
Accountability and Audit
Accounts and Directors’ Responsibilities
The Statement concerning the responsibilities of the Directors in relation to the Accounts appears on page 423.
Going Concern
The Group’s activities are subject to risk factors and uncertainties as set out on pages 62 to 68.
Notwithstanding these risk factors and uncertainties, the Directors, having considered a wide range of information in relation to
present and future conditions, are satisfied that it continues to be appropriate to prepare the financial statements of the Group on a
going concern basis. This assessment has been based principally on the following factors:
The capital requirements arising from the 2011 PCAR assessment were met by the end of July 2011. In addition, the Group passed
an EBA stress test in July and an EBA capital exercise in December in relation to sovereign exposures, without any further capital
being required. The Directors have reviewed the capital and financial plans for the period of assessment and believe that the capital
resources are sufficient to ensure that the Group is adequately capitalised both in a base and stress scenario.The Irish Government, as
AIB’s primary shareholder, has confirmed its recognition of AIB as a pillar bank, given its key role in supporting the Irish economy. In
support of this role it has ensured that AIB has been sufficiently capitalised to meet the capital targets set by the Central Bank of
Ireland through its 2011 PCAR and PLAR assessment.
Access to funding in the wholesale funding markets has been restricted with AIB reliant and expecting to continue its reliance on
the monetary authorities during the assessment period. Nevertheless, funding support as required is considered to be assured due to its
position as one of the two ‘Pillar Banks’ and in particular by the announcements by the ECB and the Minister for Finance on 31
March 2011 to the effect that the required Central Bank funding would be made available. In addition, the Group have had recent
discussions with the Central Bank where it sought assurance of the continued availability of the required liquidity from the Eurosystem
during the period of assessment for the going concern statement.
Internal Controls
The Directors acknowledge that they are responsible for the Group’s system of internal control. They acknowledge that systems of
internal control are designed to manage, rather than eliminate, the risk of failure to achieve business objectives, and can provide only
reasonable and not absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss.
The Group’s system of internal control are set out below.
Governance and Oversight
- The Group operates a three lines of defence risk governance model.
- There is a Risk Appetite Statement which is Board approved and which sets the limits of risk appetite associated with the Group’s
strategic objectives.
- The Board Risk Committee evaluates material risks and risk management across the group and risk disclosures made by the Group.
- The Audit Committee reviews various aspects of control, including the design and operating effectiveness of the internal control
over financial reporting framework in compliance with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Group’s
Statutory Accounts and other published financial statements and information, and ensures that no restrictions are placed on the
scope of the statutory audit or on the independence of the Internal Audit and Regulatory Compliance functions.
- There is involvement at all meetings of the Audit and Board Risk Committees of the Chief Financial Officer, Chief Risk Officer
and Group Internal Auditor.
Risk Management
- There is a clearly-defined management structure, with defined lines of authority and accountability.
- The Executive Committee reviews overall strategy, business plans, variances against operating and capital budgets and other
performance data on an ongoing basis.
- The Executive Risk Committee is a subcommittee of the Executive Committee with common membership to the Executive
Committee and which evaluates risks, forecast risk positions and agrees risk mitigation actions. It also monitors compliance with
relevant laws, regulations and best practice guidelines.
Risk Control & Monitoring
- There is a centralised risk and compliance control function, headed by the Chief Risk Officer who reports to the Chief Executive
Officer and to the Chair of the Board Risk Committee.
- This function is responsible for establishing and embedding risk management frameworks, ensuring that material risk policies are
reviewed, and reporting on adherence to risk limits as set by the Board. It comprises Enterprise Risk, Credit Risk, Financial
(Market) Risk, Operational Risk, Decision Analytics and Compliance.
216
- The Chief Risk Officer is responsible for ensuring that risks are identified, measured, monitored and reported on, and for
reporting on risk mitigation actions.
- The centralised Credit function is headed by the Chief Credit Officer who reports to the Chief Risk Officer.
- There is an independent Compliance function which provides advisory services to the Group and which monitors and reports on
prudential, conduct of business and financial crime compliance and forthcoming regulations across the Group, and on
management’s attention to compliance matters.
- There is an independent Group Internal Audit function which is responsible for independently assessing the effectiveness of the
Group’s corporate governance, risk management and internal controls and which reports directly to the Chair of the Audit
Committee.
- There are specialist functions including Human Resources, Finance and IT.
-
Physical and computer security and business continuity planning are overseen by the Operational Risk function.
Policies and Processes
- A comprehensive annual budgeting and financial reporting system, which incorporates clearly-defined and communicated
common accounting policies and financial control procedures, including those relating to authorisation limits, capital expenditure
and investment procedures; and
- Appropriate policies and procedures relating to capital management, asset and liability management (including interest rate risk,
exchange rate risk and liquidity & funding management), credit risk management, operational risk management and regulatory
compliance.
Taking the above into account, the Directors are satisfied:
-
-
-
that there is a clear organisational structure which provides effective oversight of the activities of the Group;
that processes are in place to identify, manage, monitor and report on risks;
that adequate internal control mechanisms, including sound administrative and accounting procedures, IT systems and controls are
in place, which are subject to ongoing improvement initiatives to further strengthen such systems;
that the remuneration policies and practices are consistent with and promote sound and effective risk management; and
that the system of governance is subject to regular internal review.
-

Additional requirements in the United States
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule
13a-15(f) under the US Exchange Act). Management has assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting as of 31 December 2011, based on the criteria set forth by the US Committee of Sponsoring Organisations of the Treadway
Commission in their publication ‘Internal Control - Integrated Framework’. Based on this assessment, management believes that, as of
31 December 2011, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective. In addition to the need for such internal
controls over financial reporting, the SEC has adopted somewhat broader requirements designed to ensure that reporting companies,
such as AIB, have adequate ‘disclosure controls and procedures’ in place. As of 31 December 2011, the Group carried out an
evaluation, under the supervision of and with the participation of the Group’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and
the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Group’s disclosure controls and procedures.There
are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human
error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and
procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon, and as of the date of the Group’s
evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective
in all material respects to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports which the Group files and submits under the
US Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarised and reported as and when required.
Code of Business Ethics
The Group has adopted a code of business ethics that applies to all employees. A copy of that code is available on the Group website
at www.aibgroup.com/investorrelations. (The information on this website is not incorporated by reference into this document). There
have been no waivers to the code of business ethics since its adoption, and information regarding any future amendments or waivers
will be published on the aforementioned website. The code of business ethics sets out for employees the general principles that govern
how AIB Group conducts its affairs. To complement the code of business ethics, a code of leadership behaviours for senior
management places personal responsibility on senior management for ensuring that business and support activities are carried out with
the highest standards of behaviour. The application of the Code of Business Ethics is underpinned by policies, practices and training
which are designed to ensure that the Code is understood and that all staff act in accordance with it. It is also designed to satisfy
related SEC requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The Code of Business Ethics and the Leadership Code have been reviewed
and will be re-launched as the Code of Conduct for all Employees of AIB Group in 2012.

Governance & oversight - 4. Supervision & Regulation
4.1 Current climate of regulatory change
Governments and regulators worldwide continued to develop and implement changes in both regulatory regimes and regulatory
practices. Regulators themselves have adopted a more intrusive style of regulation. In addition, there has been a move away from a
principles-based approach to one that is more focused on detailed rules.
4.2 Ireland
Overview of financial services legislation
The Central Bank Reform Act 2010 was brought into operation by the Minister for Finance on 1 October 2010.The Central Bank
Reform Act 2010 created a single, fully-integrated Central Bank of Ireland (‘Central Bank’) with a unitary board, the Central Bank
Commission, chaired by the Governor of the Central Bank. The Financial Regulator ceased to exist from 1 October 2010 and its
functions were transferred to the Central Bank. The Central Bank (Supervision and Enforcement) Bill was published in mid 2011.
The main purposes of the Bill are to (a) provide enhanced powers to the Central Bank for the supervision of regulated financial
service providers and (b) provide enhanced powers to the Central Bank for the enforcement of financial services legislation.
The Central Bank is responsible for the:
-
prudential supervision and regulation of a range of banking and financial services entities in Ireland, including credit institutions,
investment firms, stockbroking firms, payment institutions, insurance companies and credit unions;
conduct of business of such financial services entities, including the protection of consumer interests; and
-
- overall stability of the financial system.
The Central Bank and Financial Services Authority of Ireland Act 2004 established the Financial Services Ombudsman’s Bureau to
deal with certain complaints about financial institutions.
The Credit Institutions (Stabilisation) Act 2010 was signed into law on 21 December 2010.The Act provides the legislative basis
for the reorganisation and restructuring of the Irish banking system as agreed in the joint EU/IMF Programme for Ireland. The Act
empowers the Minister for Finance, following consultation with the Governor of the Central Bank of Ireland, to propose any of a
number of Stabilisation Orders that the Minister believes is necessary to stabilise a particular relevant institution (including its group
companies). A proposed Stabilisation Order must be confirmed by the High Court. The Act also imposes new duties on the directors
of an institution and sets out matters to which directors must have regard in the performance of their functions. These include
protecting the interests of the taxpayers, restoring confidence in the banking sector and facilitating the availability of credit in the
economy of the State. This Act will lapse on 31 December 2012 unless extended by the Government.
The Central Bank and Credit Institutions (Resolution) Act came into force in 2011. It provides a framework for the resolution of
Irish banks and other Irish credit institutions encountering financial difficulties and not covered under the Credit Institutions
(Stabilisation) Act, 2010.
Other legislative measures in the context of the financial crisis that commenced in 2008, including the Credit Institutions
(Financial Support) Scheme 2008, the Credit Institutions (Eligible Liabilities Guarantee) Scheme 2009 and the National Asset
Management Agency Act 2009, are described in note 56 ‘Summary of relationship with the Irish Government’. These pieces of
legislation and associated regulations provide for: a limited-duration State guarantee of many deposits in certain Irish credit
institutions, including Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c. and some of its subsidiaries, subject to any applicable deposit protection scheme; a
limited-duration State guarantee of certain other eligible liabilities issued by a relevant institution, including Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c.
and some of its subsidiaries; and a State vehicle for the acquisition of many land and development-related loans from certain Irish
credit institutions, including Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c. and some of its subsidiaries.
The Central Bank of Ireland (‘the Central Bank’)
The Central Bank has a wide range of statutory powers to enable it to effectively regulate and supervise the activities of financial
institutions in Ireland including the power to carry out inspections. Features of the regulatory regime include prudential regulation
and codes of conduct, each of which is addressed in more detail below. The Central Bank also has wide-ranging powers of inspection:
inspectors appointed by the Central Bank may enter the relevant premises, take documents or copies, require persons employed in the
business to provide information and order the production of documents. In cases of extreme concern, the Central Bank may direct a
licence-holder to suspend its business activity for a specified period and may also intervene in the management or operation of an
entity.
The Central Bank Reform Act 2010 contains a number of provisions which impact the regulation of credit institutions, including
powers for the Central Bank to regulate sensitive or influential appointments in financial institutions. This includes the power to
prevent the appointment of a person from performing a ‘controlled function’ (as defined) or to remove or suspend a person from the
performance of a controlled function, where the Central Bank is satisfied that the person is not a fit and proper person to perform
such a function. The Central Bank introduced Regulations and Standards governing the new fitness and probity regime in 2011.
218
On 8 November 2010, the Central Bank issued new corporate governance requirements for credit institutions and insurance
undertakings, which impose minimum core standards upon all credit institutions, including Allied Irish Banks p.l.c., and insurance
undertakings licensed or authorised by the Central Bank. Additional requirements apply to institutions that are designated as ‘major
institutions’ by the Central Bank. The Central Bank has extensive enforcement powers including the ability to impose administrative
sanctions directly on financial institutions for failure to comply with regulatory requirements (including codes of conduct and
practice), subject to a right of appeal by the affected institution to the Irish Financial Services Appeals Tribunal and a further appeal to
the High Court. Such administrative sanctions may include a caution or reprimand, financial penalties (not exceeding € 5 million in
the case of a firm or € 0.5 million in the case of an individual) and a direction disqualifying a person from being concerned in the
management of a regulated financial service provider.
Banking Legislation
The banking regulatory code in Ireland is comprised principally of the Central Bank Acts; regulations made under the European
Communities Act 1972; and regulatory notices and codes of conduct issued by the Central Bank. Various Statutory Instruments and
regulations made by the relevant Government minister and regulatory notices made by the Central Bank implement in Ireland the
substantial range of European Union directives relating to banking supervision and regulation, including the Capital Requirements
Directive (“CRD”).To the extent that areas of banking activity in Ireland are the subject of EU regulations or directives, the
provisions of Irish banking law reflect the requirements of those EU instruments.
The Central Bank Acts regulate the conduct of banking business in Ireland and provide that banking business may only be carried
on by the holder of a banking licence or an EU/European Economic Area entity which exercises ‘passport rights’ to carry on
business in Ireland. Every Irish licensed bank is obliged to draw up and publish its annual financial statements in accordance with the
European Communities (Credit Institutions: Accounts) Regulations 1992 (as amended by the European Communities (Credit
Institutions) (Fair Value Accounting)) Regulations 2004). As a listed entity, Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c. is required to prepare its financial
statements in accordance with IFRS endorsed by the European Union (as applied by the European Communities (International
Financial Reporting Standards and Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2005) and with those parts of the Companies Act 1963
to 2010 that are applicable to companies reporting under IFRS; and with article 4 of the EU Council Regulation 1606/2002 of
19 July 2002.
Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c. holds a banking licence and is authorised as a credit institution. AIB Mortgage Bank holds a banking
licence and is registered as a designated mortgage credit institution. There are no conditions attached to AIB’s licences or
authorisations that are not market standard conditions.
EBS Limited (“EBS”) became a wholly owned subsidiary of Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c. on 1 July 2011. EBS holds a banking licence
and is authorised as a credit institution. EBS Mortgage Finance, a wholly owned subsidiary of EBS, holds a banking licence and is
registered as a designated mortgage credit institution. There are no conditions attached to EBS’ licences or authorisations that are not
market standard conditions.
Capital Requirements
The Group is subject to applicable EU directives, including those that relate to capital adequacy. The CRD reflects the Basel II rules
on capital measurement and capital standards. It came into force on 1 January 2007 and introduced a revised supervisory framework in
the EU designed to promote the financial soundness of credit institutions and investment firms. The CRD governs, among other
topics, the amount and quality of capital that credit institutions and investment firms hold against the risks that they take. The CRD
has been transposed into Irish law by the European Communities (Capital Adequacy of Credit Institutions) Regulations 2006 (“CRD
Regulations”), as amended principally in 2009 (concerning the regulation of large exposures) and in 2010 (regarding the capital
requirements for the trading book and for re-securitisations and subsequently in respect of the further regulation of large exposures
and the introduction of new pan-EU supervisory arrangements and crisis management).
The Central Bank has powers to enforce the CRD Regulations in the context of its prudential supervision of credit institutions
and investment firms. The CRD Regulations set the minimum capital requirements for all entities licensed by the Central Bank;
consequently the Group regularly interacts with the Central Bank on an ongoing basis ensuring that it meets the capital adequacy
requirements to which it is subject. The Central Bank may, from time to time, require a credit institution or investment firm to target
a specified ratio, or maintain a certain minimum capital ratio, based on its assets and its liabilities, which may be expressed to apply to
all licence-holders of a specified category or categories, to the total assets or total liabilities of the licence-holders concerned, or to
specified assets or to assets of a specified kind.
219
Governance & oversight - 4. Supervision & Regulation
Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (“MiFID”)
MiFID was transposed into Irish law by the Markets in Financial Instruments and Miscellaneous Provisions Act 2007 and the
European Communities (Markets in Financial Instruments) Regulations 2007, as amended (together the “MiFID Regulations”).The
MiFID Regulations regulate the provision of MiFID Services in respect of financial instruments and apply both to credit institutions
and to investment firms (including stockbroking firms).
MiFID Services include the provision of investment advice, portfolio management, execution of client orders and others. A
number of financial services that do not come within the definition of MiFID Services (such as the administration of collective
investment schemes) are subject to the requirements of the Investment Intermediaries Act 1995 (“IIA”). Each relevant Group
company ensures that it fulfils its obligations under MiFID, the MiFID Regulations and the IIA, as appropriate, on an ongoing basis
and ensures that it holds the appropriate authorisation for its business at all times.The following subsidiaries of Allied Irish Banks,
p.l.c.; AIB Capital Markets p.l.c.; AIB Investment Managers Ltd.;AIB Corporate Finance Ltd.; and AIB International Financial
Services Ltd. provide MiFID Services and each is authorised as an investment firm under the MiFID Regulations. Allied Irish Banks,
p.l.c. also complies with the MiFID Regulations where it provides MiFID Services. It should be noted that AIB International
Financial Services Limited was disposed of during 2011.
Other Financial Services Companies
In addition to the companies listed above, the Group includes a number of other financial services companies regulated by the Central
Bank. AIB Mortgage Bank is a designated mortgage credit institution under the Asset Covered Securities Act 2001 (as amended), and
is permitted to issue mortgage covered securities which are secured by a statutory preference over covered assets (principally, residential
mortgage loans) comprised in a cover-assets pool. In addition to the role of the Central Bank, the activities of a credit institution that
is designated for the purposes of the Asset Covered Securities Act 2001 (as amended) are subject to close oversight by an independent
cover-assets monitor appointed by the credit institution and approved by the Central Bank of Ireland. The principal role of the
cover-assets monitor is to ensure that the assets maintained in the covered assets pool are sufficient to provide adequate security to the
holders of the asset covered securities. AIB Leasing Ltd. is authorised as a retail credit firm under the Central Bank Act, 1997. AIB
Insurance Services Ltd. is authorised as an insurance intermediary under the Investment Intermediaries Act, 1995.
On 1 July 2011, AIB acquired EBS Limited including EBS Mortgage Finance and Haven Mortgages Limited, both of which are
100% owned subsidiaries of EBS. EBS Limited is authorised as a credit institution. EBS Mortgage Finance is a designated mortgage
credit institution under the Asset Covered Securities Act, 2001 (as amended). Haven Mortgages Limited is authorised as a retail credit
firm under the Central Bank Act, 1997.
Through a joint venture with Aviva Group Ireland, p.l.c., Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c. indirectly owns 24.99% of two life assurance
undertakings; Ark Life Assurance Ltd. and Aviva Life and Pensions Ireland Ltd. In addition, Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c. indirectly owns
30% of Aviva Health Insurance Ireland Ltd., a regulated non-life insurance undertaking. These undertakings must comply with the
provisions of legislation including the Insurance Acts 1909 to 2009 and the European Communities (Life Assurance) Framework
Regulations 1994 (as amended) or European Communities (Non-Life Assurance) Framework Regulations 1994, as relevant.
Further, the European Communities (Insurance Mediation) Regulations 2005 have implemented the EU Directive on Insurance
Mediation and lay down rules for undertaking insurance and reinsurance mediation, as well as prescribing registration requirements for
persons who wish to carry out insurance mediation business or act as an insurance intermediary or as a reinsurance intermediary.
Codes of conduct including Consumer Protection Code
The Central Bank has issued a number of codes of conduct, codes of practice and other requirements applicable to credit institutions
and other regulated financial services entities (including investment firms, insurance undertakings and intermediaries).These codes
address a substantial range of requirements including supervisory and reporting, corporate governance, conduct of business, advertising,
disclosure and record retention requirements. The Central Bank has also issued Client Asset Requirements which apply to financial
services entities, including credit institutions and investment firms. The Central Bank introduced a new Consumer Protection Code,
effective 1 January 2012. This Code imposes detailed rules on regulated financial services entities operating in Ireland in relation to
non-MiFID investment, insurance and banking services provided. In addition, the Central Bank has imposed statutory Codes of
Conduct in relation to business lending to small and medium-sized enterprises, dealing with residential mortgage arrears and lending
to related parties.
Consumer legislation
The provision of credit to consumers is regulated in Ireland by the Consumer Credit Regulations and the Consumer Credit Act 1995
(the “1995 Act”).The Consumer Credit Regulations and the 1995 Act are relevant to the Group to the extent that any of its Group
companies provide credit to consumers. The 1995 Act is also relevant to the Group to the extent that any of its Group companies
provide credit in the form of housing loans. The Consumer Credit Regulations, which transpose into Irish law the provisions of the
Consumer Credit Directive (Directive 2008/48/EC), prescribe a range of detailed requirements to be included in pre-contractual
220
information and consumer credit agreements to be provided to consumers and impose a number of obligations on the provider of
such credit. Where the provision of a particular type of credit does not fall within the scope of the Consumer Credit Regulations, it
may fall within the scope of the 1995 Act. The 1995 Act prescribes a range of detailed requirements to be included in consumer credit
agreements to be provided to consumers and imposes a number of obligations on the provider of such credit. The 1995 Act also
imposes a requirement on all credit institutions to notify the Central Bank in advance of imposing on a customer any new charge in
relation to the provision of certain specified services; increasing any charge previously notified; or imposing any charge that does not
comply with a direction from the Central Bank. Irish law contains a wide range of consumer protection provisions, such as the
European Communities (Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts) Regulations 1995, the Consumer Protection Act 2007 and other
measures regulating the content of face-to-face and distance marketing contracts made with a consumer.
Deposit protection and investor compensation
Under the European Communities (Deposit Guarantee Schemes) Regulations 1995 (as amended) which implement in Ireland the
Deposit Guarantee Schemes Directive (Directive 94/19/EC), the Central Bank operates a deposit protection scheme under which
each licensed bank must contribute to the deposit protection account held by the Central Bank. Currently, the level of contribution
required is 0.2 per cent of deposits (in whatever currency) held at all branches of the licensed bank in the EEA, including deposits on
current accounts but excluding certain funds and commitments such as interbank deposits, negotiable certificates of deposit, debt
securities issued by the same institution and promissory notes. The maximum amount of deposit protected is € 100,000 per depositor
per institution. See note 56 (a) ‘Summary of relationship with the Irish Government’ in respect of the limited-duration State guarantee
of many deposits in certain Irish credit institutions, including Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c. and some of its subsidiaries.
The Investor Compensation Act 1998 (the ‘1998 Act’) provided for the establishment of the Investor Compensation Company
Limited (the “ICCL”) to administer and supervise an investor compensation scheme. The 1998 Act requires authorised investment
firms to pay the ICCL such contribution to the fund maintained by the ICCL as the ICCL may from time to time specify. The
maximum amount payable under the investor compensation scheme is 90% of the amount lost by an eligible investor subject to a
maximum compensation payment of € 20,000.
Anti-money laundering
The Third EU Anti-Money Laundering Directive (2005/60/EC) was transposed into Irish Law by the Criminal Justice (Money
Laundering and Terrorist Financing) Act 2010 (the “2010 Act”) Persons designated under the 2010 Act (including credit institutions,
financial institutions, investment firms, IIA firms and life assurance companies) are obliged to take the necessary measures to effectively
counteract money laundering and terrorist financing in accordance with the provisions of the 2010 Act. Core guidelines have been
published by the Department of Finance. The Guidelines have not been approved under section 107 of 2010 Act which is a matter for
the Department of Justice and Equality and the Department of Finance.
The 2010 Act introduced, inter alia, an obligation on designated persons to (i) apply customer due diligence procedures to their
customers; (ii) identify and take risk based and adequate measures to verify beneficial ownership; and (iii) identify and apply enhanced
customer due diligence requirements to non-resident politically exposed persons. The 2010 Act amended reporting requirements
where a suspicious transaction report is necessitated. The 2010 Act also introduced a requirement for the authorisation of trust or
company service providers. Analogously, Ireland, by means including the Criminal Justice (Terrorist Offences) Act 2005, applies EU
and United Nations mandated restrictions on financial transfers with designated individuals and regimes and imposes criminal
penalties for participating in the financing of terrorism.
Data Protection
The Data Protection Acts 1988 and 2003 (“DPAs”) regulate the disclosure and use of data relating to individual customers. The DPAs
also require certain categories of ‘data controllers and data processors’, including financial institutions and insurance companies which
process personal data, to register with the Irish Data Protection Commissioner. Each relevant Group company has implemented and
monitors appropriate policies and procedures to ensure compliance with its obligations under the DPAs. The European Communities
(Electronic Communications Networks and Services) (Data Protection and Privacy) Regulations 2003 (as amended) implement the
EU Electronic Privacy Directive (2002/58/EC) and regulate marketing by electronic and other means. A new Personal Data Security
Breach Code of Practice was issued by the Irish Data Protection Commissioner on 7 July 2010.That Code sets out the requirements
relating to the reporting of data security breaches. The ePrivacy Regulations 2011 (S.I. 336) deal with data protection for phone,
email, SME and internet use.
221
Governance & oversight - 4. Supervision & Regulation
4.3 United Kingdom
Regulation of AIB Group (UK) p.l.c.
AIB Group (UK) p.l.c. is a company incorporated in Northern Ireland and is authorised by the Financial Services Authority (“FSA”)
under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (“FSMA”) to carry on a wide range of regulated activities (including accepting
deposits, advising on investments (except pension transfers and pension opt outs), arranging deals in investments (including regulated
mortgage contracts) and dealing in investments (as both agent and principal), for both professional and retail clients in the United
Kingdom. It carries on business under the trading names ‘Allied Irish Bank (GB)’, ‘Allied Irish Bank (GB) Savings Direct’and ‘First
Trust Bank’ in Great Britain and Northern Ireland, respectively.
FSMA is the principal piece of legislation governing the establishment, supervision and regulation of financial services and markets
in the United Kingdom.The FSA is currently the single regulator for the full range of financial business in the United Kingdom; it
derives its powers under FSMA and the Financial Services Act 2010. The FSA is responsible both for the prudential supervision and
for the general supervision of AIB Group (UK) p.l.c.’s business in the United Kingdom. AIB Group (UK) p.l.c. must comply with the
FSA’s prudential rules including rules relating to capital adequacy, limits on large exposures and liquidity; and the FSA’s
non-prudential rules including rules relating to conduct of business, market conduct (including market abuse), money laundering and
systems and controls.The FSA Handbook contains the rules and guidance issued by the FSA.
The UK Government published the Financial Services Bill in January 2012 that, once enacted, will give effect to a new regulatory
structure. Under this new structure, the Financial Policy Committee (“FPC”) within the Bank of England will be responsible for
financial stability and macro prudential regulation. The Prudential Regulatory Authority (“PRA”) will be a subsidiary of the Bank of
England, supervising the prudential compliance of deposit takers, insurers and a small number of significant investment firms. A new
body, the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) will be responsible for regulating conduct of business in wholesale and retail markets.
AIB Group (UK) p.l.c. has the statutory power to issue bank notes as local currency in Northern Ireland (it does this under the
name ‘First Trust Bank’). In this connection, it is subject to the provisions of the Bank Charter Act 1844, the Bankers (Northern
Ireland) Acts 1845 and 1928, the Currency and Bank Notes Act 1928, the Allied Irish Banks Act 1981, the Allied Irish Banks Act 1993
and the Allied Irish Banks Act 1996.
AIB Group (UK) p.l.c. subscribes to the Lending Code of the Lending Standards Board which is a self-regulatory code setting
minimum standards of good practice in relation to lending, including loans, credit cards and current account overdrafts. The Lending
Standards Board is the successor organisation to the Banking Code Standards Board and the Lending Code replaced the previous
Banking Codes issued by the Banking Code Standards Board following the transfer of responsibilities for the conduct of business
regulation for deposit taking and payment products to the FSA on 1 November 2009. As of 1 November 2009, the FSA has
introduced the Banking Conduct Regime which sets out the new regulatory framework of retail banking services in relation to the
regulated activity of payment services and accepting deposits from banking customers and activities connected with it. AIB Group
(UK) p.l.c. is subject to the Banking Conduct Regime.
First Trust Independent Financial Advisers Ltd (a company incorporated in Northern Ireland) is authorised by the FSA to advise
on and arrange certain investments, including pensions, life policies, securities and non-investment insurance contracts. As in the case
of AIB Group (UK) p.l.c., the FSA is responsible both for the prudential supervision and for the general supervision of First Trust
Independent Financial Advisers Ltd’s business in the United Kingdom. From 1 December 2009, new liquidity rules came into force in
the United Kingdom and are contained in the FSA’s Prudential Sourcebook for Banks, Building Societies and Investment Firms. The
new rules require all UK authorised banks (including UK branches of foreign banks), investment firms and building societies to
enforce more rigorous systems and controls, hold greater liquidity safeguards and increase their liquidity reporting.
Regulation of AIB
Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c. is incorporated and has its head office in Ireland, and is licensed as a credit institution in Ireland by the
Central Bank of Ireland. Pursuant to the Banking Consolidation Directive (Directive 2006/48/EC (the “BCD”)), Allied Irish Banks,
p.l.c. has exercised its EU ‘passport’ rights to provide banking, treasury and corporate treasury services in the United Kingdom on a
cross-border basis and through the establishment of branches (in the name of AIB).
In accordance with the BCD, the ‘Home State’ regulator (here, the Central Bank of Ireland) has primary responsibility for the
prudential supervision of credit institutions incorporated in Ireland. However, credit institutions exercising their ‘passport’ rights must
comply with certain requirements (in particular, conduct of business rules) set by the ‘Host State’ regulator (here, the FSA). In
addition, the FSA has a responsibility to co-operate with the Central Bank of Ireland in ensuring that branches of Irish credit
institutions in the United Kingdom maintain adequate liquidity and take sufficient steps to cover risks arising from their open
positions on financial markets in the United Kingdom.
222
Regulation of other AIB Group entities
Certain other AIB Group entities are authorised to carry on regulated activities by way of the right to provide cross-border services
into the United Kingdom under the EU passport; however, they carry on an insignificant amount of business in the United Kingdom
at present.
Market in Financial Instruments Directive (“MiFID”)
MiFID was implemented in the United Kingdom on 1 November 2007.The requirements of MiFID apply to all regulated AIB
Group entities in the European Union that carry out a MiFID investment service or activity, for example arranging deals in financial
instruments, dealing as agent or principal in financial instruments, providing investment advice and conducting portfolio management
activities. MiFID is currently under review by the European Commission with the intention of implementing MIFID 2 by the end of
2014.
Insurance mediation
Dealing as agent, arranging deals in, making arrangement with a view to transactions in, assisting in the administration and
performance of, advising on non-investment insurance contracts and agreeing to carry on any of these activities (‘Insurance Mediation
Activities’) are (subject to applicable exemptions) regulated activities under FSMA. Each of AIB Group (UK) p.l.c. and First Trust
Independent Financial Advisers Ltd is authorised by the FSA to carry on all Insurance Mediation Activities.
Mortgage regulation
Entering into as lender, arranging, advising on and administering regulated mortgage contracts, and agreeing to carry on any of these
activities, are (subject to applicable exemptions) regulated activities under FSMA.AIB Group (UK) p.l.c. is authorised by the FSA to
enter into as lender, arrange and administer (but not advise on) regulated mortgage contracts.
Deposit protection and investor compensation
The Financial Services Compensation Schemes (“FSCS”) is the UK’s compensation fund of last resort for customers of authorised
financial services firms and protects claims in respect of deposits, insurance policies, insurance broking (for business on or after
14 January 2005), investment business and home finance (e.g. mortgage advising and arranging) (for business on or after 31 October
2004). FSCS may pay compensation, subject to its rules, if a firm is unable or likely to be unable to meet its financial obligations.
However, there are limits to the protection available under the FSCS. The deposit compensation limit increased on 31 December 2010
to 100 per cent. of £85,000 per person, per firm. Eligible investment business and home finance mediation claimants against firms
declared in default on or after 1 January 2010 are entitled to receive 100 per cent. compensation for financial loss up to £50,000 per
person, per firm. Compensation under the FSCS in respect of claims against insurance mediation firms are calculated on the basis of
(i) claims in respect of liabilities subject to compulsory insurance, 100 per cent. of the claim and (ii) other insurance claims, 100 per
cent. of the first £2,000 and 90 per cent. of the remainder of the claim against firms declared in default before 1 January 2010 and
the maximum level of compensation for claims against firms declared in default on or after 1 January 2010 is 90 per cent. of the claim
with no upper limit. Both AIB Group (UK) p.l.c. and First Trust Independent Financial Advisers Ltd are covered by the FSCS. Allied
Irish Banks, p.l.c., as a bank operating in the United Kingdom under its EU passport, is not covered by the FSCS but, in accordance
with the Deposit Guarantee Schemes Directive (Directive 94/19/EC), is covered by its home state (Ireland) deposit compensation
scheme. See note 56 ‘Summary of relationship with the Irish Government’.
Consumer credit
The Consumer Credit Act 1974, as amended (“CCA”) regulates unsecured and certain secured consumer loan businesses, consumer
hire and ancillary credit businesses such as credit brokerage and debt collecting. A credit agreement is regulated by the CCA where (a)
the borrower is or includes an ‘individual’ as defined in the CCA; (b) if the agreement was made before the removal of the CCA
financial limit, the amount of credit provided is £25,000 or less and (c) the credit agreement is not an exempt agreement under the
CCA (for example, it is a regulated mortgage contract (as defined by the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Regulated
Activities) Order 2001)). At present, the Office of Fair Trading (“OFT’) is responsible for the issue of licences under, and the
superintendence of the working and the enforcement of, the CCA and other consumer protection legislation, although the Financial
Services Bill envisages the transfer of consumer credit regulation to the FCA. Both Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c. and AIB Group (UK) p.l.c.
hold current CCA licences.The EU Consumer Credit Directive (2008/48/EC) was implemented into UK legislation via, inter alia,
the Consumer Credit (EC Directive) Regulations 2010 (SI 2010/1010).The majority of the provisions came into force on 1 February
2011, with a small number having come into force on 30 April 2010.
The Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999 (the ‘Unfair Terms Regulations’) apply to certain contracts for goods
and services entered into with consumers, including mortgages and related products and services.The main effect of the Unfair Terms
Regulations is that a non-negotiated contractual term covered by the Unfair Terms Regulations which is ‘unfair’ will not be
223
Governance & oversight - 4. Supervision & Regulation
enforceable against a consumer.The Unfair Terms Regulations will not generally affect terms which set out the subject matter of the
contract, or concern the adequacy of price or remuneration for its goods and services sold, provided they are written in plain and
intelligible language and are adequately drawn to the consumer’s attention.
Anti-money laundering
The third EU Anti-Money Laundering Directive (2005/60/EC) adopted by the European Union in October 2005 was implemented
in the UK on 15 December 2007 via the Money Laundering Regulations 2007.Practical assistance in the interpretation and
application of the UK Money Laundering Regulations is provided by the guidance published by the Joint Money Laundering
Steering Group (“JMLSG”) which comprises several major trade bodies from within the financial services industry. The Money
Laundering Regulations 2007 provide detailed obligations for designated persons, which included credit institutions,financial
institutions, legal professionals and estate agents. For example, in relation to customer due diligence there is an explicit requirement for
firms to undertake ongoing monitoring of business relationships and for firms to identify not just their customer but also the ultimate
beneficial owner of the customer(s) on a risk sensitive basis. Enhanced due diligence is expected to be carried out where a customer
poses a higher risk of money laundering or terrorist financing. In addition to the Money Laundering Regulations 2007, other acts of
the UK Parliament such as the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002,Terrorism Act 2000 and the Counter-Terrorism Act 2008 are designed to
combat money laundering/counter terrorist financing in the UK.
Data protection
The Data Protection Act 1998 (“UKDPA”) is the primary legislation regarding the collection, use and disclosure of personal data
relating to individuals in the United Kingdom.The UKDPA imposes a number of obligations on ‘data controllers’, including a
requirement to notify the UK Information Commissioner’s Office that it is a ‘data controller’ processing personal information in an
automated form and comply with eight data protection principles. Each relevant AIB Group company has implemented and
monitored appropriate procedures to ensure compliance with its obligations under the UKDPA. Civil and criminal sanctions apply for
contraventions of the UKDPA.These include the issuance of monetary penalty notices to a maximum of £500,000 by the UK
Information Commissioner for serious contraventions of the UKDPA.
The UKDPA and the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 are the main laws which regulate
the use of personal data for marketing purposes by electronic means and automated calling system in the United Kingdom. However,
on 25 January 2012, the European Commission published a proposal for a new data protection regulation, which , if adopted, would
provide the basis for a new EU wide date protection regulatory framework.
224
4.4 United States
Nature of the AIB Group’s activities
As a result of its operations in the United States, AIB is subject to extensive federal and state banking supervision and regulation. AIB
engages in US banking activities directly through its branch in New York.
Applicable federal and state banking laws and regulations
Under the US International Banking Act of 1978, as amended (the “IBA”), AIB is a foreign banking organisation and is treated as a
bank holding company, as such terms are defined in the statute, and, as such, is subject to regulation by the Federal Reserve. AIB is a
bank holding company within the meaning of the Bank Holding Company Act and is subject to regulation by the Federal Reserve.As
a bank holding company that has not elected to be a ‘financial holding company’, AIB is generally required to limit its direct and
indirect activities in the United States to banking activities and activities that the Federal Reserve has determined to be ‘so closely
related to banking as to be a proper incident thereto’. AIB is required to obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve before
making any investment that would give it ‘control’ over a US banking organisation, before acquiring 5 per cent. or more of the voting
shares of any US non-banking company or before engaging in, directly or indirectly, certain non-banking activities.
AIB conducts corporate lending, treasury and other operations. AIB’s New York branch is supervised by the Federal Reserve and
the New York State Department of Financial Services. Under the IBA, the Federal Reserve may terminate the activities of any US
branch or agency of a foreign bank if it determines that the foreign bank is not subject to comprehensive supervision on a consolidated
basis in its home country (unless the home country is making demonstrable progress toward establishing such supervision), or that there
is reasonable cause to believe that such foreign bank or its affiliate has violated the law or engaged in an unsafe or unsound banking
practice in the United States and, as a result of such violation or practice, the continued operation of the US office would be
inconsistent with the public interest or with the purposes of federal banking laws.
Under the New York Banking Law, the New York State Department of Financial Services may take possession of the business and
property of a New York state-licensed branch under circumstances generally including violations of law, unsafe or unsound practices or
insolvency.
Under US federal banking laws, state-licensed branches (such as AIB’s New York branch) may not, as a general matter, engage as a
principal in any type of activity not permissible for their federally licensed counterparts, unless the Federal Reserve Board (“FRB”)
determines that the additional activity is consistent with sound banking practices. US federal and state banking laws also generally
subject state branches to the same single-borrower lending limits that apply to federal branches or agencies, which are substantially
similar to the lending limits applicable to national banks.These single-borrower lending limits are based on the worldwide capital of the
entire foreign bank (i.e., AIB).
Anti-money laundering, anti-terrorism and economic sanctions regulations have become a major focus of US government policy
relating to financial institutions and are rigorously enforced. Regulations applicable to AIB and its affiliates impose obligations to
maintain appropriate policies, procedures and controls to detect, prevent and report money laundering. In particular,Title III of the
USA PATRIOT Act, as amended, requires financial institutions operating in the United States to (i) give special attention to
correspondent and payable-through bank accounts, (ii) implement enhanced due diligence and ‘know your customer’ standards for
private banking and correspondent banking relationships, (iii) scrutinise the beneficial ownership and activity of certain non-US and
private banking customers (especially for so-called politically exposed persons) and (iv) develop new anti-money laundering
programmes, due diligence policies and controls to ensure the detection and reporting of money laundering. Such required compliance
programmes are intended to supplement any existing compliance programmes under the Bank Secrecy Act and Office of Foreign Assets
Control (“OFAC”) regulations.
OFAC administers and enforces economic and trade sanctions against targeted foreign countries, terrorists and international
narcotics traffickers to carry out US foreign policy and national security objectives. Generally, the regulations require blocking of
accounts and other property of specified countries, entities and individuals, and the prohibition of certain types of transactions (unless
OFAC issues a licence) with specified countries, entities and individuals. Banks, including US branches of foreign banks, are expected to
establish and maintain appropriate OFAC compliance programmes to ensure compliance with OFAC regulations.
Failure of a financial institution to maintain and implement adequate programmes to combat money laundering and terrorist
financing could have serious legal and reputational consequences for the institution.
Applicable federal and state securities laws and regulations
Until their delisting in August 2011, AIB’s Ordinary Shares were listed on the New York Stock Exchange in the form of American
Depositary Shares which are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Like other registrants, AIB files reports
required under the US Exchange Act and other information with the SEC, including Annual Financial Reports on Form 20-F and
Current Reports on Form 6-K. On 30 July 2002, the President of the United States signed into law the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.The
Sarbanes-Oxley Act imposes significant requirements on AIB and other SEC registrants. These include requirements with respect to the
composition of AIB’s Audit Committee, the supervision of AIB’s auditors (and the services that may be provided by such auditors) and
225
Governance & oversight - 4. Supervision & Regulation
the need for personal certification by the chief executive officer and chief (principal) financial officer of Annual Financial Reports on
Form 20-F, as well as the financial statements included in such reports and related matters.
Although subject to such requirements, the US Exchange Act and related SEC rules and regulations afford foreign private issuers,
including AIB, relief from a number of requirements applicable to US registrants and, in certain respects, defers to the home country
requirements of the company in question. AIB’s Annual Financial Reports on Form 20-F include disclosure of significant executive
compensation and other disclosures applicable to AIB under Irish law, but these disclosures are not fully comparable with disclosure
requirements applicable to US registrants. In addition, the SEC’s rules under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act are, in some respects, less
burdensome on AIB and other foreign private issuers than they are on similarly situated US registrants. AIB’s Annual Financial
Reports on Form 20-F also reflect compliance with the internal control and auditor attestation requirements applicable to AIB by
virtue of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
Recent regulatory reform developments
On 21 July 2010, President Obama signed into law the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the
“Dodd-Frank Act”), which amongst other things, imposes certain limitations on banks engaging in proprietary trading activities,
increases regulation of the over-the-counter derivatives market, establishes a consumer protection agency and establishes a mechanism
for the orderly liquidation of large, failing financial institutions that threaten US financial stability. Many of the provisions of the
Dodd-Frank Act require rulemaking by the applicable U.S. regulatory agency, such as the Federal Reserve Board (“FRB”), the SEC and
the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) before the related provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act become effective.
The Dodd-Frank Act will result in significant changes in the regulation of the U.S. financial services industry, including reforming the
financial supervisory and regulatory framework in the United States.
Numerous rules have been proposed and/or adopted to implement the Dodd-Frank Act and the implementation process will likely
continue for the next several years. A proposed rule to limit certain proprietary trading activities and investments in private equity and
hedge funds (the so called ‘Volcker Rule’) was issued by the federal banking agencies and the SEC on 11 November 2011. On
20 December 2011, the Federal Reserve released its proposed rule implementing risk-based capital, liquidity and other requirements for
systemically important financial institutions (“SIFIs”) under section 165 of the Dodd-Frank Act.
Among the other currently issued proposed or final implementing rules are rules relating to resolution plans for SIFIs, the
‘push-out’ of certain swaps activities, including (in the case of uninsured U.S. branches of foreign banks) interest rate swap activities, a
floor for risk-based capital requirements (the so called ‘Collins Amendment’) and incentive-based compensation.
4.5 Other locations
Smaller operations are undertaken in other locations that are also subject to the regulatory environment in those jurisdictions. In
addition, discontinued operations are subject to the regulatory environment in which they operate.

Accounting policies*
The significant accounting policies that the Group applied in the preparation of the financial statements are set out in
this section.
1 Reporting entity
Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c. (‘the parent company’) is a company domiciled in Ireland. The address of the Company’s registered office is
Bankcentre, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4, Ireland. The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c.
(the parent company) and its subsidiary undertakings, collectively referred to as the ‘Group’, where appropriate, including certain special
purpose entities and are made up to the end of the financial year. The Group is and has been primarily involved in retail and corporate
banking, investment banking and the provision of asset management services.
2 Statement of compliance
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards and International
Financial Reporting Standards (collectively “IFRSs”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and
International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union (“EU”) and applicable for the year ended
31 December 2011. The accounting policies have been consistently applied by Group entities and are consistent with the previous
year, unless otherwise described. The financial statements also comply with the Companies Acts 1963 to 2009 and the European
Communities (Credit Institutions: Accounts) Regulations, 1992 (as amended) and the Asset Covered Securities Acts 2001 and 2007.
The company financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by
the IASB and International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU as applicable for the year ended 31 December 2011
and with Irish Statute. In publishing the parent company financial statements together with the Group financial statements, AIB has
taken advantage of the exemption in paragraph 2 of the European Communities (Credit Institutions: Accounts) Regulations, 1992 not
to present its parent company income statement, statement of comprehensive income and related notes that form part of these
approved financial statements.
3 Basis of preparation
The financial statements are presented in euro, which is the functional currency of the parent company and a significant number of its
subsidiaries, rounded to the nearest million.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis, with the exception of the following assets and
liabilities which are stated at their fair value: derivative financial instruments, financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss,
certain hedged financial assets and financial liabilities and financial assets classified as available-for-sale.
The financial statements comprise the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the
consolidated and parent company statements of financial position, the consolidated and parent company statements of cash flows, and
the consolidated and parent company statements of movements in equity together with the related notes. These notes also include
financial instrument related disclosures which are required by IFRS 7 and revised IAS 1, contained in the Financial review and the
Risk management sections of this Annual Financial Report. The information on those pages is identified as forming an integral part
of the audited financial statements.
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the
application of policies and reported amounts of certain assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosures of contingent assets and
liabilities. The estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable
under the circumstances. Since management’s judgement involves making estimates concerning the likelihood of future events, the
actual results could differ from those estimates. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is
revised and in any future period affected. The estimates that have a significant effect on the financial statements and estimates with a
significant risk of material adjustment in the next year are in the areas of loan impairment and impairment of financial instruments;
determination of the fair value of certain financial assets and financial liabilities; retirement benefit obligations; financial asset and
financial liability classification; the recoverability of deferred tax; and NAMA bonds valuation. In addition, the designation of financial
assets and financial liabilities has a significant impact on their income statement treatment and could have a significant impact on
reported income.
A description of these estimates and judgments is set out within Financial review - Critical accounting policies. This section is
identified as forming an integral part of the audited financial statements.
Arising from the results of the Prudential Capital Assessment Review (“PCAR”)/Prudential Liquidity Assessment Review
(“PLAR”) in March 2011, AIB is required to dispose of non-core financial assets. Accordingly, certain of these financial assets are
classified as held for sale at 31 December 2011. These assets do not constitute a major line of business or a geographical area of
operations, but are included within ‘Disposal groups and non-current assets held for sale’ (note 26). At 31 December 2010,
discontinued operations were included within this caption and comprised BZWBK and Bulgarian American Credit Bank AD, both of
which have since been disposed of.
228
3 Basis of preparation (continued)
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the Directors are satisfied, having considered the risks and
uncertainties impacting the Group, that it has the ability to continue in business for the foreseeable future.
In making its assessment, the Directors have considered a wide range of information relating to present and future conditions.
These have included financial plans, cash flow and funding forecasts, capital resources projections, all of which have been prepared
under base and stress scenarios. In addition, the Directors have considered the commitment of support provided to AIB by the Irish
Government through the programme for restructuring the Irish banking system with AIB designated as one of the two ‘Pillar Banks’.
Furthermore, the Directors have considered the outlook for the Irish economy, taking into account such factors as progress on
improving the fiscal situation and the support provided by the EU/IMF to Ireland. The Directors also considered the Eurozone
sovereign debt crisis in its assessment of the going concern basis.
Background
The deterioration in the Irish economy culminated in the EU/IMF Programme of Financial Support for Ireland. This deterioration,
which persisted throughout 2010 and 2011 presents significant risks and challenges for the Group in the years ahead:
The funding position of the Group has been impacted by:
- The downgrading of the Group and sovereign credit ratings;
- The withdrawal of the Irish Government from the funding markets; and
- The EU/IMF Programme of Financial Support and the consequent withdrawal of funds from Irish banks.
The EU/IMF Programme provided for the restructuring and reorganisation of the Irish banks. The subsequent Financial Measures
Programme published by the Central Bank in March 2011 set a PCAR requirement for AIB (including EBS) to raise capital
amounting to € 14.8 billion. This requirement was met by the end July 2011 through liability management exercises and Government
capital injections (€ 5 billion by way of an equity placing; a capital contribution of € 6.1 billion; and € 1.6 billion by way of a
Contingent Capital Notes issuance).
Since 2010 and through 2011, AIB has had limited access to wholesale funding and has been dependant on secured funding from
the European Central Bank (“ECB”) and has utilised non standard facilities from the Central Bank for a limited period. The Bank
ceased using non-standard facilities in April 2011. Breaches of liquidity ratios up to July 2011 were remedied as new capital was
injected by the Government. However, AIB’s ECB repo funding has continued, since October 2010, to exceed a regulatory limit of
25%.
Market volatility remained elevated and liquidity depressed during 2011 driven by the deterioration in global credit markets as
sovereign difficulties in the eurozone grew and the overall global macroeconomic environment remained uncertain. Credit spreads
widened sharply, especially in the second half of the year, for certain countries within the Eurozone. This negative sentiment impacted
on access to wholesale funding for certain sovereigns and credit institutions across Europe.
At different stages since the beginning of 2011, European leaders reaffirmed their commitment to the euro:
- On 21 July 2011, a statement by the Heads of State or Government of the euro area and EU institutions reaffirmed their
commitment to the euro and to do whatever was needed to ensure the financial stability of the euro area as a whole and its
Member States;
- ECB decided to actively implement its Securities Markets Programme i.e. to intervene in the euro area public and private debt
securities markets (to ensure depth and liquidity in those market segments which are dysfunctional);
- On 9 December 2011, the Heads of State or Government of the euro area and European Council agreed a package of
measures to restore confidence in the financial markets which included:
- a new fiscal compact and the strengthening of stabilisation tools for the euro area including a more effective European
Financial Stability Facility (“EFSF”);
- the bringing forward of the implementation of the European Stability Mechanism (“ESM”); and
- a solution for the unique challenges faced by Greece.
- On 21 February 2012, European leaders agreed a second bail-out package for Greece in order to secure Greece’s future in the
euro area.
These various measures, adopted since the beginning of 2011, are indicative of the commitment of all euro area Member States to
save the euro and to support euro area members.

3 Basis of preparation (continued)
Capital
Under the EU/IMF Programme and the subsequent Financial Measures Programme published by the Central Bank in March 2011,
which detailed the outcome of its review of capital (PCAR) and funding (PLAR), AIB was set a minimum capital target of 10.5% core
tier 1 in the base scenario, and a 6% core tier 1 in the stress scenario, plus an additional protective buffer which could be in the form of
contingent capital. The total PCAR requirement for AIB (including EBS) was € 14.8 billion. This requirement was met by the end July
2011 as outlined above. The Group’s core tier 1 ratio at 31 December 2011 is 17.9% (2010: 4%). The Group’s total capital ratio at 31
December 2011 is 20.5% (2010: 9.2%).
AIB has passed the European Banking Authority (“EBA”) stress test in July 2011 and the EBA capital exercise in December 2011
(which incorporated a capital buffer for sovereign exposures) without any further capital being required.
The Directors have reviewed the capital and financial plans for the period of assessment and believe that the capital resources are
sufficient to ensure that the Group is adequately capitalised both in a base and stress scenario.The Irish Government, as AIB’s primary
shareholder, has confirmed its recognition of AIB as a pillar bank, given its key role in supporting the Irish economy. In support of this
role it has ensured that AIB has been sufficiently capitalised to meet the capital targets set by the Central Bank of Ireland through its
2011 PCAR and PLAR assessment.
Liquidity and funding
The Group’s balance sheet saw significant change in 2011 arising from: the disposal of BZWBK; the acquisition of NAMA senior
bonds and the deposit business from Anglo Irish Bankcorp (‘Anglo’); the acquisition of EBS; the recapitalisation in July and asset
deleveraging in the Non-Core segment. These changes reduced the funding requirement of AIB by € 10 billion in 2011. The cash
proceeds from the sale of BZWBK, the State deposit in advance of the Government capital injection and the issuance of Own Use
Bank Bonds (i.e. self issued MTN under the Government guarantee) enabled AIB exit non standard facilities in April 2011.
Nonetheless, the Group remains heavily dependent on Central Bank/ECB support, which amounted to € 31 billion (including EBS)
at 31 December 2011 down from € 37 billion (AIB only) at 31 December 2010.
AIB’s access to wholesale funding markets continued to be restricted in 2011. This is a result of the continued negative sentiment
towards the IMF/ECB bail out in the first half of 2011, the Europe-wide uncertainty in the second half of 2011 and the Group’s
credit rating. This increases the requirement for AIB to maintain/increase its deposit franchise, deleverage its balance sheet enabling
reduction in wholesale funding dependency.
Customer deposits remain the largest source of funding for the Group. Excluding the Anglo and EBS deposits, plus the impact of
the NTMA deposits at June 2011, the Group’s deposits were broadly stable in the second half of 2011, notwithstanding the
uncertainty Europe-wide in the latter months of the year.
While the Irish Sovereign’s credit rating was downgraded in 2011 and contagion has spread to the broader euro area, the Irish
Sovereign has been able to distinguish itself from the other peripheral countries. In particular, the Irish Government has met the fiscal
requirements and the recapitalisation of its banks as part of its EU/IMF Programme which has resulted in bond yields significantly
tightening since July 2011.
Notwithstanding the 2011 improvements, it is expected that the Group will continue to be reliant on the monetary authorities for
funding during the assessment period. However, AIB’s access to Central Bank funding support as required is considered to be assured
due to its position as one of the two ‘Pillar Banks’ and in particular by the announcements by the ECB and the Minister for Finance
on 31 March 2011 to the effect that the required Central Bank funding would be made available. Furthermore, the ECB confirmed
that the Eurosystem would continue to provide liquidity to banks in Ireland, including AIB.
Furthermore, the Group have had discussions with the Central Bank and it sought assurance of the continued availability of the
required liquidity from the Eurosystem during the period of assessment for the going concern statement. The Directors are satisfied
based on the clarity of confirmations received from the Central Bank and public announcements by ECB, EU and IMF, that in all
reasonable circumstances, the required liquidity and funding from the Central Bank/ECB will be available to the Group during the
period of assessment.
The Directors, therefore consider that the funding and liquidity position of AIB is assured during the assessment period.
Conclusion
On the basis of the above, the Directors believe that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis
having concluded that there are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the
Group’s ability to continue as a going concern over the period of assessment.

3 Basis of preparation (continued)
Adoption of new accounting standards
The following amendments to standards have been adopted by the Group during the year ended 31 December 2011.
Amendment to IAS 24 – Related Party Disclosures
This amendment simplifies the definition of a related party, clarifying its intended meaning and eliminating inconsistencies from the
definition. It also provides a partial exemption from the disclosure requirements for government-related entities which, as permitted
by the amendment, was early adopted by the Group in 2010.The remainder of the amendment, which did not have any significant
impact on the disclosures given, deals with the disclosure of certain related party relationships, transactions and outstanding balances
including commitments in the financial statements of the Group.
Amendment to IAS 32 – Financial Instruments: Presentation-Classification of rights issues
The amendment which is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 February 2010, states that if rights are issued by an
entity pro rata to all existing shareholders in the same class for a fixed amount of currency, they should be classified as equity
regardless of the currency in which the exercise price is denominated. This amendment did not have any impact on the Group’s
financial statements but may do so in the future.
Amendment to IFRIC 14 - Prepayments of a Minimum Funding Requirement
The amendment which is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011 corrects an unintended consequence of
IFRIC 14 IAS 19 – The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction. Without the
amendment, in some circumstances entities would not be permitted to recognise as an asset some voluntary prepayments for
minimum funding contributions. This was not intended when IFRIC 14 was issued, and the amendment corrects the problem. The
revision will allow such prepayments to be recorded as assets in the statement of financial position. This IFRIC did not have any
impact on the Group.
IFRIC 19 Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments
This IFRIC which is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2010, clarifies the requirements of International
Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) when an entity renegotiates the terms of a financial liability with its creditor and the
creditor agrees to accept the entity’s shares or other equity instruments to settle the financial liability fully or partially. The impact on
the Group will be dependent on the nature of any future liability management actions undertaken by the Group.
Improvement to IFRSs May 2010
In May 2010, the IASB issued its third edition of amendments to its standards, primarily with a view to removing inconsistencies and
clarifying wording.
The adoption of the following amendments resulted in changes to accounting policies and/or disclosures, but did not have any
impact on the financial position or performance of the Group.
- IFRS 3 Business Combinations: The measurement options available for non-controlling interest (“NCI”) have been amended.
Only components of NCI that constitute a present ownership interest that entitles their holder to a proportionate share of the
entity’s net assets in the event of liquidation shall be measured at either fair value or at the present ownership interests’
proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. All other components are to be measured at their acquisition date fair
value.
- IFRS 7 Financial Instruments - Disclosures: The amendment to IFRS 7 clarifies the required level of disclosure about credit risk
and collateral held and provides relief from disclosures previously required regarding renegotiated loans.
- IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements: The amendment clarifies that an option to present an analysis of each component
of other comprehensive income may be included either in the statement of changes in equity or in the notes to the financial
statements. The Group has adopted the option of disclosing this analysis in the notes to the financial statements.

Accounting policies (continued)
3 Basis of preparation (continued)
Adoption of new accounting standards (continued)
- IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting: These amendments, which are effective for annual periods beginning on or after
1 January 2011, emphasise the principle in IAS 34 that disclosures about significant events and transactions in interim periods
should update the relevant information presented in the most recent annual financial report. Additional disclosure requirements
included in the amendment require the Group to disclose:
- transfers between levels of the ‘fair value hierarchy’ used in measuring the fair value of financial instruments;
- changes in the classification of financial assets as a result of a change in the purpose or use of those assets;
- changes in the business or economic circumstances that affect the fair value of the entity’s financial assets and financial
liabilities, whether those assets or liabilities are recognised at fair value or amortised cost; and
- changes in contingent liabilities or contingent assets.
These amendments were adopted in the Group’s most recent Interim financial statements.
Other amendments resulting from Improvements to IFRSs which the Group adopted in 2011 did not have any impact on the
accounting policies, financial position or performance of the Group
232
4 Basis of consolidation
Subsidiary undertakings
A subsidiary is one where the Group has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity, so as
to obtain benefits from its activities. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are
considered in assessing whether the Group controls the entity. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred
to the Group until the date that control ceases.
A special purpose entity is an entity created to accomplish a narrow and well-defined objective such as the securitisation 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.
The Group accounts for the acquisition of businesses using the acquisition method except for those businesses under common
control. Under the acquisition method, the consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is
calculated as the sum of the acquisition date fair value of assets transferred by the Group, liabilities incurred by the Group to the
former owners of the acquiree, and the equity interests issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition
related costs are generally recognised in the income statement as incurred. Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the
consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously
held equity interest in the acquiree, if any, over the net of the acquisition date fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and
liabilities assumed.
The Group commonly acts as trustee and in other fiduciary capacities that result in the holding or placing of assets on behalf of
individuals, trusts, retirement benefit plans and other institutions. These assets, and income arising thereon, are excluded from the
financial statements, as they are not assets of the Group.
Common control transactions
The Group accounts for the acquisition of businesses or investments in subsidiary undertakings between members of the Group at
carrying value at the date of the transaction unless prohibited by company law or IFRS. This policy also applies to the acquisition of
businesses by the Group of other entities under the common control of the Irish Government. Where the acquired net assets exceed
the fair value of the consideration paid, the excess is accounted for as a capital contribution (accounting policy number 29). On
impairment or final sale of the subsidiary in the parent company’s separate financial statements, an amount equal to the impairment
charge net of tax in the income statement is transferred from capital contribution reserves to revenue reserves.
For acquisitions under common control, comparative data is not restated. The consolidation of the acquired entity is effective from
the acquisition date with intercompany balances eliminated at a Group level on this date.
Associated undertakings
An associate undertaking is generally one in which the Group’s interest is greater than 20% and less than 50% and in which the
Group has significant influence, but not control, over the entity’s operating and financial policies.
Investments in associated undertakings are initially recorded at cost and increased (or decreased) each year by the Group’s share of
the post acquisition net income (or loss), and other movements reflected directly in other comprehensive income of the associated
undertaking.
Goodwill arising on the acquisition of an associated undertaking is included in the carrying amount of the investment. When the
Group’s share of losses in an associate has reduced the carrying amount to zero, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group
does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations to make payments on behalf of the associate.
The Group’s share of the results of associated undertakings after tax reflects the Group’s proportionate interest in the associated
undertaking and is based on financial statements made up to a date not earlier than three months before the period end reporting
date, adjusted to conform with the accounting polices of the Group.
Since goodwill that forms part of the carrying amount of the investment in an associate is not recognised separately, it is therefore
not tested for impairment separately. Instead, the entire amount of the investment in an associate is tested for impairment as a single
asset when there is objective evidence that the investment in an associate may be impaired.
Transactions eliminated on consolidation
Intra-group balances and any unrealised income and expenses, arising from intra-group transactions are eliminated on consolidation.
Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.
Unrealised gains and losses on transactions with associated undertakings are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the
investees.
233
Accounting policies (continued)
5 Foreign currency translation
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using their functional currency, being the
currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the respective entity’s functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the
dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are re-translated at the rate prevailing at the
period end. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the re-translation at period
end exchange rates of the amortised cost of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the
income statement. Exchange differences on equities and similar non-monetary items held at fair value through profit or loss are
reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. Exchange differences on equities classified as available for sale financial assets, together
with exchange differences on a financial liability designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation are reported in
other comprehensive income.
Foreign operations
The results and financial position of all Group entities that have a functional currency different from the euro are translated into euro
as follows:
- assets and liabilities including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on consolidation of foreign operations are translated at
the closing rate;
- income and expenses are translated into euro at the average rates of exchange during the period where these rates approximate
to the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions;
- foreign currency translation differences are recognised in other comprehensive income; and
- since 1 January 2004, the Group’s date of transition to IFRS, all such exchange differences are included in the foreign currency
translation reserve within shareholders’ equity. When a foreign operation is disposed of in full, the relevant amount of the foreign
currency translation reserve is transferred to the income statement. When a subsidiary is partly disposed of, the foreign currency
translation reserve is re-attributed to the non-controlling interest.
6 Interest income and expense recognition
Interest income and expense is recognised in the income statement for all interest-bearing financial instruments using the effective
interest method.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or financial liability (or group
of financial assets or financial liabilities) and of allocating the interest income or interest expense over the relevant period. The effective
interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial
instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. The application of the method has the effect of
recognising income receivable and expense payable on the instrument evenly in proportion to the amount outstanding over the
period to maturity or repayment.
In calculating the effective interest rate, the Group estimates cash flows (using projections based on its experience of customers’
behaviour) considering all contractual terms of the financial instrument but excluding future credit losses. The calculation takes into
account all fees, including those for early redemption, and points paid or received between parties to the contract that are an integral
part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and all other premiums and discounts.
All costs associated with mortgage incentive schemes are included in the effective interest rate calculation. Fees and commissions
payable to third parties in connection with lending arrangements, where these are direct and incremental costs related to the issue of a
financial instrument, are included in interest income as part of the effective interest rate.
Interest income and expense presented in the consolidated income statement includes:-
- Interest on financial assets and financial liabilities at amortised cost on an effective interest method;
- Interest on financial investments available for sale on an effective interest method;
- Net interest income and expense on qualifying hedge derivatives designated as cash flow hedges or fair value hedges which are
- recognised in interest income or interest expense; and
- Interest income and funding costs of trading portfolio financial assets, excluding dividends on equity shares.
234
7 Fee and commission income
Fees and commissions are generally recognised on an accruals basis when the service has been provided, unless they have been included in
the effective interest rate calculation. Loan syndication fees are recognised as revenue when the syndication has been completed and the
Group has retained no part of the loan package for itself or retained a part at the same effective interest rate as applicable to the other
participants.
Portfolio and other management advisory and service fees are recognised based on the applicable service contracts. Asset
management fees relating to investment funds are recognised over the period the service is provided. The same principle is applied to
the recognition of income from wealth management, financial planning and custody services that are continuously provided over an
extended period of time.
Commitment fees, together with related direct costs, for loan facilities where drawdown is probable are deferred and recognised as
an adjustment to the effective interest rate on the loan once drawn. Commitment fees in relation to facilities where drawdown is not
probable are recognised over the term of the commitment on a straight line basis. Other credit related fees are recognised as the
service is provided except for arrangement fees where it is likely that the facility will be drawn down and which are included in the
effective interest rate calculation.
8 Net trading income
Net trading income comprises gains less losses relating to trading assets and trading liabilities and includes all realised and unrealised
fair value changes.
9 Dividend income
Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive dividend income is established. Usually this is the ex-dividend date for
equity securities.
10 Operating leases
Payments made under operating leases are recognised in the income statement on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. Lease
incentives received and premiums paid at inception of the lease are recognised as an integral part of the total lease expense over the
term of the lease.
11 Employee benefits
Retirement benefit obligations
The Group provides employees with post retirement benefits mainly in the form of pensions.
The Group provides a number of retirement benefit schemes including defined benefit and defined contribution as well as a
hybrid scheme that has both defined benefit and defined contribution elements. In addition, the Group contributes, according to local
law in the various countries in which it operates, to Governmental and other schemes which have the characteristics of defined
contribution schemes. The majority of the defined benefit schemes are funded.
Full actuarial valuations of defined benefit schemes are undertaken every three years and are updated to reflect current conditions
at each year-end reporting date. Scheme assets are measured at fair value determined by using current bid prices. Scheme liabilities are
measured on an actuarial basis by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned for their service in current and
prior periods and discounting that benefit at the current rate of return on a high quality corporate bond of equivalent term and
currency to the liability. The calculation is performed by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. The difference
between the fair value of the scheme assets and the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the year-end reporting date is
recognised in the statement of financial position. Schemes in surplus are shown as assets and schemes in deficit, together with
unfunded schemes, are shown as liabilities. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised immediately in other comprehensive income.
The cost of providing defined benefit pension schemes to employees, comprising the current service cost, past service cost,
curtailments, the expected return on scheme assets, and the change in the present value of scheme liabilities arising from the passage of
time is charged to the income statement within personnel expenses.
The cost of the Group’s defined contribution schemes, is charged to the income statement in the accounting period in which it is
incurred. Any contributions unpaid at the year-end reporting date are included as a liability. The Group has no further obligation
under these schemes once these contributions have been paid.
235
Accounting policies (continued)
11 Employee benefits (continued)
Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits, such as salaries and other benefits, are accounted for on an accruals basis over the period during which
employees have provided services. Bonuses are recognised to the extent that the Group has a legal or constructive obligation to its
employees that can be measured reliably. The cost of providing subsidised staff loans and preferential rates on staff deposits is charged
within personnel expenses.
Termination benefits
Termination benefits are recognised as an expense when the Group is demonstrably committed, without the realistic possibility of
withdrawal, to a formal plan to terminate employment before the normal retirement date. Termination benefits for voluntary
redundancies are recognised if the Group has made an offer encouraging voluntary redundancy, it is probable that the offer will be
accepted, and the number of acceptances can be estimated reliably.
Share based compensation
The Group operates a number of equity settled share based compensation schemes. The fair value of the employee services received is
measured by reference to the fair value of the shares or share options granted on the date of the grant. The cost of the employee services
received in exchange for the shares or share options granted is recognised in the income statement over the period during which the
employees become unconditionally entitled to the options, which is the vesting period. The amount expensed is determined by reference
to the fair value of the options granted. The fair value of the options granted is determined using option pricing models, which take into
account the exercise price of the option, the share price at date of grant of the option, the risk free interest rate, the expected volatility of
the share price over the life of the option and other relevant factors. Vesting conditions included in the terms of the grant are not taken
into account in estimating fair value except where those terms relate to market conditions. Non-market vesting conditions are taken into
account by adjusting the number of shares or share options included in the measurement of the cost of employee services so that ultimately
the amount recognised in the income statement reflects the number of vested shares or share options. Where vesting conditions are related
to market conditions, the charges for the services received are recognised regardless of whether or not the market related vesting conditions
are met, provided that any non-market vesting conditions are met.
If either the Group or the employee can choose whether or not to meet a non-vesting condition, the Group will treat its employee’s
failure to meet that non-vesting condition during the vesting period as a cancellation. A cancellation requires the immediate recognition of
the amount that otherwise would have been recognised for services received over the remainder of the vesting period.
The expense relating to equity settled share based payments is credited to the share based payments reserve in shareholders’ equity.
Where the share based payment arrangements give rise to the issue of new shares, the proceeds of issue of the shares are credited to
share capital (nominal amount) and share premium when the options are exercised. When the share based payment gives rise to the
reissue of shares from treasury shares, the proceeds of issue are credited to the treasury shares reserve within shareholders’ equity. In
addition, there is a transfer between the share based payment reserve and revenue reserves reflecting the cost of the share based
payment already recognised in the income statement.
12 Non-credit risk provisions
Provisions are recognised for present legal or constructive obligations arising as consequences of past events where it is probable that a
transfer of economic benefit will be necessary to settle the obligation, and it can be reliably estimated.
When the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects
current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Payments are deducted
from the present value of the provision and interest, at the relevant discount rate, is charged annually to interest expense using the
effective interest method. Changes in the present value of the liability as a result of movements in interest rates are included in other
financial income. The present value of provisions is included in other liabilities.
When a leasehold property ceases to be used in the business, provision is made, where the unavoidable costs of future obligations
relating to the lease are expected to exceed anticipated income. The provision is calculated using market rates of interest to reflect the
long-term nature of the cash flows. Before the provision is established, the Group recognises any impairment loss on the assets
associated with the lease contract.
236
12 Non-credit risk provisions (continued)
Restructuring costs
Where the Group has a formal plan for restructuring a business and has raised valid expectations in the areas affected by the
restructuring by starting to implement the plan or announcing its main features, provision is made for the anticipated cost of
restructuring, including retirement benefits and redundancy costs, when an obligation exists. The provision raised is normally utilised
within twelve months. Future operating costs are not provided for.
Legal claims and other contingencies
Provisions are made for legal claims where the Group has present legal or constructive obligations as a result of past events and it is
more likely than not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated.
Contingent liabilities are possible obligations whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence of uncertain future events
or present obligations where the transfer of economic benefit is uncertain or cannot be reliably estimated. Contingent liabilities are
not recognised but are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements unless the possibility of the transfer of economic benefit is
remote.
A provision is recognised for a constructive obligation where a past event has led to an obligating event. This obligating event has
left the Group with little realistic alternative but to settle the obligation and the Group has created a valid expectation in other parties
that it will discharge the obligation.
13 Income tax, including deferred income tax
Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in the income statement except to the extent that it relates
to items recognised in other comprehensive income, in which case it is recognised in other comprehensive income. Income tax
relating to items in equity is recognised directly 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
reporting date and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred income tax is provided, using the financial statement liability method, on temporary differences between the tax bases of
assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates
based on legislation enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date and expected to apply when the deferred tax asset is
realised or the deferred tax liability is settled. Deferred income tax assets are recognised when it is probable that future taxable profits
will be available against which the temporary differences will be utilised.
The tax effects of income tax losses available for carry forward are recognised as an asset when it is probable that future taxable
profits will be available against which these losses can be utilised.
Deferred and current tax assets and liabilities are only offset when they arise in the same tax reporting group and where there is
both the legal right and the intention to settle the current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the
liability simultaneously.
The principal temporary differences arise from depreciation of property, plant and equipment, revaluation of certain financial assets
and financial liabilities including derivative contracts, provisions for pensions and other post retirement benefits, and in relation to
acquisitions, on the difference between the fair values of the net assets acquired and their tax base.
Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the
timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the difference will not reverse in
the foreseeable future. In addition, the following temporary differences are not provided for: goodwill, the amortisation of which is
not deductible for tax purposes, and assets and liabilities the initial recognition of which affect neither accounting nor taxable profit.
Income tax payable on profits, based on the applicable tax law in each jurisdiction, is recognised as an expense in the period in which
the profits arise.
237
Accounting policies (continued)
14 Impairment of property, plant and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets
Annually, or more frequently where events or changes in circumstances dictate, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are
assessed for indications of impairment. If indications are present, these assets are subject to an impairment review.
Goodwill and intangible assets not yet available for use are subject to an annual impairment review. The impairment review
comprises a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset or cash generating unit with its recoverable amount. Cash-generating
units are the lowest level at which management monitors the return on investment in assets. The recoverable amount is determined as
the higher of fair value less costs to sell of the asset or cash generating unit and its value in use. Fair value less costs to sell is calculated
by reference to the amount at which the asset could be disposed of in an arm's length transaction evidenced by an active market or
recent transactions for similar assets. Value in use is calculated by discounting the expected future cash flows obtainable as a result of
the asset's continued use, including those resulting from its ultimate disposal, at a market-based discount rate on a pre-tax basis. For
intangible assets not yet available for use, the impairment review takes into account the cash flows required to bring the asset into use.
The carrying values of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are written down by the amount of any impairment
and this loss is recognised in the income statement in the period in which it occurs. A previously recognised impairment loss may be
reversed in part or in full when there is an indication that the impairment loss may no longer exist and there has been a change in the
estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount. The carrying amount of the asset will only be increased up to the amount
that it would have been had the original impairment not been recognised. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed.
15 Impairment of financial assets
It is Group policy to make provisions for impairment of financial assets to reflect the losses inherent in those assets at the reporting
date.
Impairment
The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a portfolio of financial assets is
impaired. A financial asset or portfolio of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred if, and only if, there is
objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more loss events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset and on
or before the reporting date (‘a loss event’), and that loss event or events has had an impact such that the estimated present value of
future cash flows is less than the current carrying value of the financial asset, or portfolio of financial assets.
Objective evidence that a financial asset or a portfolio of financial assets is impaired includes observable data that comes to the
attention of the Group about the following loss events:
significant financial difficulty of the issuer or obligor;
a)
b) a breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;
c)
the granting to the borrower of a concession, for economic or legal reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty that
the Group would not otherwise consider;
it becomes probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation;
the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties; or
d)
e)
f) observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a portfolio of financial
assets since the initial recognition of those assets, although the decrease cannot yet be identified with the individual financial
assets in the portfolio, including:
i.
ii. national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on the assets in the portfolio.
adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers in the portfolio;
Incurred but not reported
The Group first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant,
and individually or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant (i.e. individually insignificant). If the Group
determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, it includes
the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and includes these performing assets under the collective
incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) assessment. An IBNR impairment provision represents an interim step pending the
identification of impairment losses on an individual asset in a group of financial assets. As soon as information is available that specifically
identifies losses on individually impaired assets in a group, those assets are removed from the group.Assets that are individually assessed for
impairment and for which an impairment loss is, or continues to be, recognised are not included in a collective assessment of impairment.
238
15 Impairment of financial assets (continued)
Collective evaluation of impairment
For the purpose of collective evaluation of impairment (individually insignificant impaired assets and IBNR), financial assets are
grouped on the basis of similar risk characteristics. These characteristics are relevant to the estimation of future cash flows for groups of
such assets by being indicative of the counterparty’s ability to pay all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the assets
being evaluated.
Future cash flows in a group of financial assets that are collectively evaluated for impairment are estimated on the basis of the
contractual cash flows of the assets in the group and historical loss experience for assets with credit risk characteristics similar to those
in the group. Historical loss experience is adjusted on the basis of current observable data to reflect the effects of current conditions
that did not affect the period on which the historical loss experience is based and to remove the effects of conditions in the historical
period that do not currently exist.
The methodology and assumptions used for estimating future cash flows are reviewed regularly to reduce any differences between
loss estimates and actual loss experience.
Impairment loss
For loans and receivables and assets held to maturity, the amount of impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s
carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The
amount of the loss is recognised using an allowance account and is included in the income statement.
Following impairment, interest income is recognised using the original effective rate of interest which was used to discount the future
cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and
the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment
loss is reversed by adjusting the allowance account. The amount of the reversal is recognised in the income statement.
When a loan has been subjected to a specific provision and the prospects of recovery do not improve, a time will come when it
may be concluded that there is no real prospect of recovery. When this point is reached, the amount of the loan which is considered
to be beyond the prospect of recovery is written off against the related provision for loan impairment. Subsequent recoveries of
amounts previously written off decrease the amount of the provision for loan impairment in the income statement.
Assets acquired in exchange for loans and receivables in order to achieve an orderly realisation are accounted for as a disposal of
the loan and an acquisition of an asset. Any further impairment of the assets or business acquired is treated as an impairment of the
relevant asset and not as an impairment of the original instrument.
Collateralised financial assets
The calculation of the present value of the estimated future cash flows of a collateralised financial asset reflects the cash flows that may
result from foreclosure, costs for obtaining and settling the collateral, and whether or not foreclosure is probable.
Past due loans
When a borrower fails to make a contractually due payment, a loan is deemed to be past due. ‘Past due days’ is a term used to describe
the cumulative numbers of days that a missed payment is overdue. Past due days commence from the close of business on the day on
which a payment is due but not received. In the case of overdrafts, past due days are counted once a borrower:
- has breached an advised limit;
- has been advised of a limit lower than the then current outstandings; or
- has drawn credit without authorisation.
When a borrower is past due, the entire exposure is reported as past due, rather than the amount of any excess or arrears.
239
Accounting policies (continued)
15 Impairment of financial assets (continued)
Financial investments available for sale
In the case of equity securities classified as available for sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below
its cost is considered in determining whether impairment exists. Where such evidence exists, the cumulative net loss that had
previously been recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised in the income statement as a reclassification adjustment.
Reversals of impairment of equity securities are not recognised in the income statement and increases in the fair value of equity
securities after impairment are recognised in other comprehensive income.
In the case of debt securities classified as available for sale, impairment is assessed on the same criteria as for all other financial
assets. Impairment is recognised by transferring the cumulative loss that has been recognised directly in other comprehensive income
to the income statement. Any subsequent increase in the fair value of an available for sale debt security is included in other
comprehensive income unless the increase in fair value can be objectively related to an event that occurred after the impairment was
recognised in the income statement, in which case the impairment loss or part thereof is reversed.
16 Determination of fair value of financial instruments
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between
knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction.
Financial assets are initially recognised at fair value, and, with the exception of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss,
the initial fair value includes direct and incremental transaction costs.
Financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value, generally being their issue proceeds (fair value of consideration received)
net of transaction costs incurred.
Subsequent to initial recognition, the methods used to determine the fair value of financial instruments include quoted prices in
active markets where those prices are considered to represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length
basis. Where quoted prices are not available or are unreliable because of market inactivity, fair values are determined using valuation
techniques. These valuation techniques which use, to the extent possible, observable market data, include the use of recent arm’s
length transactions, reference to other similar instruments, option pricing models and discounted cash flow analysis and other
valuation techniques commonly used by market participants.
Quoted prices in active markets
Quoted market prices are used where those prices are considered to represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an
arm’s length basis, in active markets.
Valuations for negotiable instruments such as debt and equity securities are determined using bid prices for asset positions and
offer prices for liability positions. Where securities are traded on an exchange, the fair value is based on prices from the exchange. The
market for debt securities largely operates on an ‘over the counter’ basis which means that there is not an official clearing or exchange
price for these security instruments. Therefore, market makers and/or investment banks (‘contributors’) publish bid and offer levels
which reflect an indicative price that they are prepared to buy and sell a particular security. The Group’s valuation policy requires that
the prices used in determining the fair value of securities quoted in active markets must be sourced from established market makers
and/or investment banks.
Valuation techniques
In the absence of quoted market prices, or in the case of over-the-counter derivatives, fair value is calculated using valuation
techniques. Fair value may be estimated using quoted market prices for similar instruments, adjusted for differences between the
quoted instrument and the instrument being valued. Where the fair value is calculated using discounted cash flow analysis, the
methodology is to use, to the extent possible, market data that is either directly observable or is implied from instrument prices, such
as interest rate yield curves, equities and commodities prices, credit spreads, option volatilities and currency rates. In addition, the
Group considers the impact of own credit risk when valuing its derivative liabilities.
The methodology is to calculate the expected cash flows under the terms of each specific contract and then discount these values
back to a present value. The assumptions involved in these valuation techniques include:-
- The likelihood and expected timing of future cash flows of the instrument. These cash flows are generally governed by the terms
of the instrument, although management judgement may be required when the ability of the counterparty to service the
instrument in accordance with the contractual terms is in doubt. In addition, future cash flows may also be sensitive to the
occurrence of future events, including changes in market rates; and
- Selecting an appropriate discount rate for the instrument, based on the interest rate yield curves including the determination of
an appropriate spread for the instrument over the risk-free rate. The spread is adjusted to take into account the specific credit
risk profile of the exposure.
Certain financial instruments (both assets and liabilities) may be valued on the basis of valuation techniques that feature one or more
240
16 Determination of fair value of financial instruments (continued)
significant market inputs that are not observable. When applying a valuation technique with unobservable data, estimates are made to
reflect uncertainties in fair values resulting from a lack of market data, for example, as a result of illiquidity in the market. For these
instruments, the fair value measurement is less reliable. Inputs into valuations based on non-observable data are inherently uncertain
because there are little or no current market data available from which to determine the level at which an arm’s length transaction
would occur under normal business conditions. However, in most cases there is some market data available on which to base a
determination of fair value, for example historical data, and the fair values of most financial instruments will be based on some market
observable inputs even where the non-observable inputs are significant.
The Group tests the outputs of the model to ensure that it reflects current market conditions. The calculation of fair value for any
financial instrument may require adjustment of the quoted price or the valuation technique output to reflect the cost of credit risk,
the liquidity of the market, and hedging costs where these are not embedded in underlying valuation techniques or prices used.
The choice of contributors, the quality of market data used for pricing, and the valuation techniques used are all subject to
internal review and approval procedures.
17 Valuation of NAMA senior bonds
NAMA senior bonds were received as consideration for financial assets transferred to NAMA and also as part of the ‘Anglo’ and ‘EBS’
transactions (notes 23 and 24 to the financial statements). These bonds are designated as loans and receivables and are separately disclosed
in the statement of financial position as ‘NAMA senior bonds’.
The bases for measurement, interest recognition and impairment are the same as those for loans and receivables (see accounting
policy numbers, 6, 15 and 18).
At initial recognition, the bonds were measured at fair value. The bonds carry a guarantee of the Irish Government, however, they are
not marketable instruments. The only secondary market activity in the instruments is their sale and repurchase (“repo”) to the European
Central Bank (“ECB”) within the regular Eurosystem open market operations. The bonds are not traded in the market and there are no
comparable bonds trading in the market.
The fair value on initial recognition was determined using a valuation technique. The absence of quoted prices in an active market
required increased use of management judgement in the estimation of fair value. This judgement included but was not limited to:
evaluating available market information; evaluating relevant features of the instruments which market participants would factor into an
appropriate valuation technique; determining the cash flows generated by the instruments including cash flows from assumed repo
transactions; identifying a risk free discount rate; and applying an appropriate credit spread.
18 Financial assets
The Group classifies its financial assets into the following categories: - financial assets at fair value through profit or loss; loans and
receivables; held to maturity investments; and available for sale financial assets.
Purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade date, being the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the
assets. Loans are recognised when cash is advanced to the borrowers.
Interest is calculated using the effective interest method and credited to the income statement. Dividends on available for sale
equity securities are recognised in the income statement when the entity’s right to receive payment is established.
Impairment losses and translation differences on the amortised cost of monetary items are recognised in the income statement.
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or when the Group
has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
This category can have two sub categories: - Financial assets held for trading; and those designated at fair value through profit or loss at
inception. A financial asset is classified in this category if it is acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the near term; part of a
portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and for which there is evidence of a recent actual pattern of short-
term profit taking; or if it is so designated at initial recognition by management, subject to certain criteria.
The assets are recognised initially at fair value and transaction costs are taken directly to the income statement. Interest and dividends
on assets within this category are reported in interest income, and dividend income, respectively. Gains and losses arising from changes in
fair value are included directly in the income statement within net trading income.
Derivatives are also classified in this category unless they have been designated as hedges or qualify as financial guarantee contracts.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market
and which are not classified as available for sale. They arise when the Group provides money or services directly to a customer with
no intention of trading the loan. Loans and receivables are initially recognised at fair value including direct and incremental transaction
costs and are subsequently carried on an amortised cost basis.
241
Accounting policies (continued)
18 Financial assets (continued)
Held to maturity
Held to maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that the Group’s management
has the intention and ability to hold to maturity. If the Group was to sell other than an insignificant amount of held to maturity assets,
the remainder would be required to be reclassified as available for sale. Held to maturity investments are initially recognised at fair
value including direct and incremental transaction costs and are carried on an amortised cost basis using the effective interest method.
Any available for sale financial investments reclassified into the held to maturity category are transferred at fair value and are
subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Unrealised gains or losses held in equity in respect of such
reclassified assets are amortised to the income statement using the effective interest rate method.
Available for sale
Available for sale financial assets are non-derivative financial investments that are designated as available for sale and are not categorised
into any of the other categories described above. Available for sale financial assets are those intended to be held for an indefinite
period of time, which may be sold in response to needs for liquidity or changes in interest rates, exchange rates or equity prices.
Available for sale financial assets are initially recognised at fair value including direct and incremental transaction costs. They are
subsequently held at fair value. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are included in other comprehensive income until
sale or impairment when the cumulative gain or loss is transferred to the income statement as a recycling adjustment. Assets
reclassified from the held for trading category are recognised at fair value.
Parent Company financial statements: Investment in subsidiary and associated undertakings
The Company accounts for investments in subsidiary and associated undertakings that are not classified as held for sale at cost less
provisions for impairment. If the investment is classified as held for sale, the Company accounts for it at the lower of its carrying value
and fair value less costs to sell.
Dividends from a subsidiary or an associated undertaking are recognised in the income statement, when the Company’s right to
receive the dividend is established.
Reclassification of financial assets
In October 2008, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 39 - Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, and IFRS 7 -
Financial Instruments: Disclosures, titled ‘Reclassification of Financial Assets’. These amendments permit an entity to reclassify certain
non-derivative financial assets (other than those designated at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition) out of the fair
value through profit or loss category. AIB implemented these amendments which were effective from 1 July 2008. The impact of the
reclassifications is set out in note 27.
19 Financial liabilities
Issued financial instruments or their components are classified as liabilities where the substance of the contractual arrangement results
in the Group having a present obligation to either deliver cash or another financial asset to the holder, to exchange financial
instruments on terms that are potentially unfavourable or to satisfy the obligation otherwise than by the exchange of a fixed amount
of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of equity shares.
Financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value, being their issue proceeds (fair value of consideration received) net of
transaction costs incurred. Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost, with any difference between the proceeds
net of transaction costs and the redemption value recognised in the income statement using the effective interest method.
Where financial liabilities are classified as trading they are also initially recognised at fair value and the related transaction costs are
taken directly to the income statement. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised directly in the income
statement within net trading income.
Preference shares which carry a mandatory coupon, are classified as financial liabilities. The dividends on these preference shares
are recognised in the income statement as interest expense using the effective interest method.
The Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired. Any gain or loss
on the extinguishment or remeasurement of a financial liability is recognised in profit or loss.
242
20 Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, or deemed cost, less accumulated depreciation and provisions for impairment, if any.
Additions and subsequent expenditures are capitalised only to the extent that they enhance the future economic benefits expected to
be derived from the asset. No depreciation is provided on freehold land. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight
line basis over their estimated useful economic lives. Depreciation is calculated based on the gross carrying amount, less the estimated
residual value at the end of the assets’ economic life.
The Group uses the following useful lives when calculating depreciation:
Freehold buildings and long-leasehold property
Short leasehold property
Costs of adaptation of freehold and leasehold property
50 years
life of lease, up to 50 years
Branch properties
Office properties
Computers and similar equipment
Fixtures and fittings and other equipment
up to 10 years(1)
up to 15 years(1)
3 – 7 years
5 – 10 years
The Group reviews its depreciation rates regularly, at least annually, to take account of any change in circumstances. When deciding on
useful lives and methods, the principal factors that the Group takes into account are the expected rate of technological developments
and expected market requirements for, and the expected pattern of usage of, the assets. When reviewing residual values, the Group
estimates the amount that it would currently obtain for the disposal of the asset, after deducting the estimated cost of disposal if the
asset were already of the age and condition expected at the end of its useful life.
Gains and losses on disposal of property, plant and equipment are included in the income statement. It is Group policy not to
revalue its property, plant and equipment.
(1)Subject to the maximum remaining life of the lease.
21 Intangible assets
Goodwill
Goodwill may arise on the acquisition of subsidiary and associated undertakings. The excess arising on the fair value of the consideration
paid in a business combination over the acquired interests in the fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at
the date of acquisition is capitalised as goodwill. For the purpose of calculating goodwill, fair values of acquired assets, liabilities and
contingent liabilities are determined by reference to market values or by discounting expected future cash flows to present value. This
discounting is performed either using market rates or by using risk-free rates and risk adjusted expected future cash flows.
Goodwill is capitalised and reviewed annually for impairment, or more frequently when there are indications that impairment
may have occurred. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. Goodwill arising on the
acquisition of an associated undertaking is included in the carrying amount of the investment in the consolidated financial statements.
Gains or losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of the goodwill relating to the entity sold.
Goodwill previously written off to reserves under Irish GAAP has not been reinstated and will not be included in calculating any
subsequent profit or loss on disposal.
Computer software and other intangible assets
Computer software and other intangible assets are stated at cost, less amortisation on a straight line basis and provisions for impairment,
if any. The identifiable and directly associated external and internal costs of acquiring and developing software are capitalised where the
software is controlled by the Group, and where it is probable that future economic benefits that exceed its cost will flow from its use
over more than one year. Costs associated with maintaining software are recognised as an expense when incurred. Capitalised computer
software is amortised over 3 to 7 years. Other intangible assets are amortised over the life of the asset. Computer software and other
intangible assets are reviewed for impairment when there is an indication that the asset may be impaired. Intangible assets not yet
available for use are reviewed for impairment on an annual basis.
243
Accounting policies (continued)
22 Derivatives and hedge accounting
Derivatives, such as interest rate swaps, options and forward rate agreements, currency swaps and options, and equity index options are
used for trading purposes while interest rate swaps, currency swaps, cross currency interest rate swaps and credit derivatives are used for
hedging purposes.
The Group maintains trading positions in a variety of financial instruments including derivatives. Trading transactions arise both
as a result of activity generated by customers and from proprietary trading with a view to generating incremental income.
Non-trading derivative transactions comprise transactions held for hedging purposes as part of the Group’s risk management
strategy against assets, liabilities, positions and cash flows.
Derivatives
Derivatives are measured initially at fair value on the date on which the derivative contract is entered into and subsequently
remeasured at fair value. Fair values are obtained from quoted market prices in active markets, including recent market transactions,
and from valuation techniques using discounted cash flow models and option pricing models as appropriate. Derivatives are included
in assets when their fair value is positive, and in liabilities when their fair value is negative, unless there is the legal ability and
intention to settle an asset and liability on a net basis.
The best evidence of the fair value of a derivative at initial recognition is the transaction price (i.e. the fair value of the
consideration given or received) unless the fair value of that instrument is evidenced by comparison with other observable current
market transactions in the same instrument (i.e. without modification or repackaging) or based on a valuation technique whose
variables include only data from observable markets.
Profits or losses are only recognised on initial recognition of derivatives when there are observable current market transactions or
valuation techniques that are based on observable market inputs.
Embedded derivatives
Some hybrid contracts contain both a derivative and a non-derivative component. In such cases, the derivative component is termed
an embedded derivative. Where the economic characteristics and risks of embedded derivatives are not closely related to those of the
host contract, and the hybrid contract itself is not carried at fair value through profit or loss, the embedded derivative is treated as a
separate derivative, and reported at fair value with gains and losses being recognised in the income statement.
Hedging
All derivatives are carried at fair value and the accounting treatment of the resulting fair value gain or loss depends on whether the
derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged. Where derivatives are held for risk
management purposes, and where transactions meet the criteria specified in IAS 39 ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and
Measurement’, the Group designates certain derivatives as either:
(1) hedges of the fair value of recognised assets or liabilities or firm commitments (‘fair value hedge’); or
(2) hedges of the exposure to variability of cash flows attributable to a recognised asset or liability, or a highly probable forecasted
transaction (‘cash flow hedge’); or
(3) hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation.
When a financial instrument is designated as a hedge, the Group formally documents the relationship between the hedging
instrument and hedged item as well as its risk management objectives and its strategy for undertaking the various hedging
transactions. The Group also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives
that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged items.
The Group discontinues hedge accounting when:
a) it is determined that a derivative is not, or has ceased to be, highly effective as a hedge;
b) the derivative expires, or is sold, terminated, or exercised;
c) the hedged item matures or is sold or repaid; or
d) a forecast transaction is no longer deemed highly probable.
To the extent that the changes in the fair value of the hedging derivative differ from changes in the fair value of the hedged risk
in the hedged item; or the cumulative change in the fair value of the hedging derivative differs from the cumulative change in the fair
value of expected future cash flows of the hedged item, ineffectiveness arises. The amount of ineffectiveness, (taking into account the
timing of the expected cash flows, where relevant) provided it is not so great as to disqualify the entire hedge for hedge accounting, is
recorded in the income statement.
In certain circumstances, the Group may decide to cease hedge accounting even though the hedge relationship continues to be
highly effective by no longer designating the financial instrument as a hedge.
244
22 Derivatives and hedge accounting (continued)
Fair value hedge accounting
Changes in fair value of derivatives that qualify and are designated as fair value hedges are recorded in the income statement, together
with changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk. If the hedge no longer meets the
criteria for hedge accounting, the fair value hedging adjustment cumulatively made to the carrying value of the hedged item is, for
items carried at amortised cost, amortised over the period to maturity of the previously designated hedge relationship using the effective
interest method. For available for sale financial assets, the fair value adjustment for hedged items is recognised in the income statement
using the effective interest method. If the hedged item is sold or repaid, the unamortised fair value adjustment is recognised immediately
in the income statement.
Cash flow hedge accounting
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is initially
recognised directly in other comprehensive income and included in the cash flow hedging reserve in the statement of changes in
equity. The amount recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassed to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment in the same
period as the hedged cash flows affect profit or loss, and in the same line item in the statement of comprehensive income. Any
ineffective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognised in the income statement immediately.
When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any
cumulative gain or loss recognised in other comprehensive income from the time when the hedge was effective remains in equity and
is reclassified to the income statement as a reclassification adjustment as the forecast transaction affects profit or loss. When a forecast
transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was recognised in other comprehensive income from the
period when the hedge was effective is reclassified from equity to the income statement.
Net investment hedge
Hedges of net investments in foreign operations, including monetary items that are accounted for as part of the net investment, are
accounted for similarly to cash flow hedges. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognised in other
comprehensive income and the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the income statement. The cumulative gain or loss
previously recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised in the income statement on the disposal or partial disposal of the
foreign operation. Hedges of net investments may include non-derivative liabilities as well as derivative financial instruments.
Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting
Certain derivative contracts entered into as economic hedges do not qualify for hedge accounting. Changes in the fair value of
derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recognised immediately in the income statement.
245
Accounting policies (continued)
23 Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations
Discontinued operations
A discontinued operation is a component of the Group’s business that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area
of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale, that has been disposed of, has been abandoned or that meets
the criteria to be classified as held for sale.
Discontinued operations are presented in the income statement (including comparatives) as a separate amount, comprising the
total of the post tax profit or loss of the discontinued operations for the period together with any post-tax gain or loss recognised on
the measurement of relevant assets to fair value less costs to sell, or on disposal of the assets/disposal groups constituting discontinued
operations. In presenting interest income and interest expense and various expenses relating to discontinued operations, account is
taken of the continuance or otherwise of these income statement items post disposal of the discontinued operation. Corporate
overhead, which was previously allocated to the business being disposed of, is considered to be part of continuing operations. In the
statement of financial position, the assets and liabilities of discontinued operations are shown within the caption ‘Disposal groups and
non-current assets/(liabilities) held for sale’ separate from other assets and liabilities. On reclassification as discontinued operations,
there is no restatement of prior periods for assets and liabilities.
Disposal groups and non-current assets held for sale
A non-current asset or a disposal group comprising assets and liabilities is classified as held for sale if it is expected that its carrying
amount will be recovered principally through sale rather than through continuing use, it is available for immediate sale and sale is
highly probable within one year. For the sale to be highly probable, the appropriate level of management must be committed to a plan
to sell the asset or disposal group.
On initial classification as held for sale, generally, non-current assets and disposal groups are measured at the lower of previous
carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell with any adjustments taken to the income statement. The same applies to gains and
losses on subsequent remeasurement. However, financial assets within the scope of IAS 39 continue to be measured in accordance
with that standard.
Impairment losses subsequent to classification of assets as held for sale are recognised in the income statement. Increases in fair
value less costs to sell of assets that have been classified as held for sale are recognised in the income statement to the extent that the
increase is not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognised in respect of the asset. Assets classified as held for sale
are not depreciated.
Gains and losses on remeasurement and impairment losses subsequent to classification as disposal groups and non-current assets
held for sale are shown within continuing operations in the income statement, unless they qualify as discontinued operations.
Disposal groups and non-current assets held for sale which are not classified as discontinued operations are presented separately
from other assets and liabilities on the statement of financial position. Prior periods are not reclassified.
24 Financial assets held for sale to NAMA
Assets that the Group believe will be transferred to NAMA are classified as financial assets held for sale to NAMA in the statement of
financial position. These assets are measured on the same basis as prior to their classification as held for sale (see accounting policy
number 18). Interest income and fee income for such assets are recognised on the same basis as for loans and receivables and will be
recognised up to the date of derecognition (see accounting policy number 15). The impairment policy for loans and receivables as set
out in accounting policy number 15 continues to apply.
However, where the transfer of loans to NAMA is deemed to be unavoidable and the discount pertaining to the transfer has been
practically accepted by the Group, a provision is made for a constructive obligation and reported as ‘provision for liabilities and
commitments’ in both the income statement and the statement of financial position.
Additionally, where the Group is retained to service the assets following their transfer to NAMA, a provision is made for a
servicing liability where the projected cost of servicing the assets is greater than the expected consideration to be received from
NAMA. Any such servicing provision would form part of the loss on transfer.
Derecognition takes place on a date specified by NAMA for the legal transfer of the assets which is also the date on which the
risks and rewards inherent in these assets transfer. The consideration received is measured at fair value. The difference between the
carrying value at the date of derecognition less any amount previously provided where the Group considered that it had a
constructive obligation to sell and less the servicing provision and consideration received is recognised in the income statement as a
gain or loss in other operating income.
246
25 Collateral and netting
The Group enters into master netting agreements with counterparties, to ensure that if an event of default occurs, all amounts
outstanding with those counterparties will be settled on a net basis.
Collateral
The Group obtains collateral in respect of customer liabilities where this is considered appropriate. The collateral normally takes the
form of a lien over the customer’s assets and gives the Group a claim on these assets for both existing and future liabilities. The
collateral is, in general, not recorded on the statement of financial position.
The Group also receives collateral in the form of cash or securities in respect of other credit instruments, such as stock borrowing
contracts and derivative contracts in order to reduce credit risk. Collateral received in the form of securities is not recorded on the
statement of financial position. Collateral received in the form of cash is recorded on the statement of financial position with a
corresponding liability. These items are assigned to deposits received from banks or other counterparties in the case of cash collateral
received. Any interest payable or receivable arising is recorded as interest expense or interest income respectively.
In certain circumstances, the Group will pledge collateral in respect of liabilities or borrowings. Collateral pledged in the form of
securities or loans and receivables continues to be recorded on the statement of financial position. Collateral paid away in the form of
cash is recorded in loans and receivables to banks or customers. Any interest payable or receivable arising is recorded as interest expense
or interest income respectively.
Netting
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position if, and only if,
there is a currently enforceable legal right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to
realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. This is not generally the case with master netting agreements where the related
assets and liabilities are presented gross on the statement of financial position.
26 Financial guarantees
Financial guarantees are given to banks, financial institutions and other bodies on behalf of customers to secure loans, overdrafts and
other banking facilities (‘facility guarantees’) and to other parties in connection with the performance of customers under obligations
relating to contracts, advance payments made by other parties, tenders, retentions and the payment of import duties. In its normal
course of business, Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c. (the parent company) issues financial guarantees to other Group entities. Financial
guarantees are initially recognised in the financial statements at fair value on the date that the guarantee is given. Subsequent to initial
recognition, the Group’s liabilities under such guarantees are measured at the higher of the initial measurement, less amortisation
calculated to recognise in the income statement the fee income earned over the period, and the best estimate of the expenditure
required to settle any financial obligation arising as a result of the guarantees at the year-end reporting date. Any increase in the
liability relating to guarantees is taken to the income statement in provisions for undrawn contractually committed facilities and
guarantees.
27 Sale and repurchase agreements (including stock borrowing and lending)
Financial assets may be lent or sold subject to a commitment to repurchase them (‘repos’). Such securities are retained on the
statement of financial position when substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership remain with the Group. The liability to the
counterparty is included separately on the statement of financial position as appropriate. Similarly, when securities are purchased
subject to a commitment to resell (‘reverse repos’), or where the Group borrows securities, but does not acquire the risks and rewards of
ownership, the transactions are treated as collateralised loans, and the securities are not included in the statement of financial position.
The difference between the sale and repurchase price is accrued over the life of the agreements using the effective interest method.
Securities lent to counterparties are also retained in the financial statements. Securities borrowed are not recognised in the financial
statements unless these are sold to third parties, at which point the obligation to repurchase the securities is recorded as a trading liability
at fair value and any subsequent gain or loss included in trading income.
247
Accounting policies (continued)
28 Leases
Lessor
Assets leased to customers are classified as finance leases if the lease agreements transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of
ownership, with or without ultimate legal title. When assets are held subject to a finance lease, the present value of the lease payments,
discounted at the rate of interest implicit in the lease, is recognised as a receivable. The difference between the total payments receivable
under the lease and the present value of the receivable is recognised as unearned finance income, which is allocated to accounting
periods under the pre-tax net investment method to reflect a constant periodic rate of return.
Assets leased to customers are classified as operating leases if the lease agreements do not transfer substantially all the risks and
rewards of ownership. The leased assets are included within property, plant and equipment on the statement of financial position and
depreciation is provided on the depreciable amount of these assets on a systematic basis over their estimated useful lives. Lease income
is recognised on a straight line basis over the period of the lease unless another systematic basis is more appropriate.
Lessee
Operating lease rentals payable are recognised as an expense in the income statement on a straight line basis over the lease term unless
another systematic basis is more appropriate.
29 Shareholders’ equity
Issued financial instruments, or their components, are classified as equity where they meet the definition of equity and confer on the
holder a residual interest in the assets of the Group.
On extinguishment of equity instruments, gains or losses arising are recognised net of tax directly in the statement of changes in
equity.
Share capital
Share capital represents funds raised by issuing shares in return for cash or other consideration. Share capital comprises ordinary shares,
convertible non-voting shares and preference shares of the entity.
Share premium
When shares are issued at a premium whether for cash or otherwise, the excess of the amount received over the par value of the shares is
transferred to share premium.
Share issue costs
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are charged, net of tax, to the share premium account.
Dividends and distributions
Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised in equity in the period in which they are approved by the Company’s shareholders, or in
the case of the interim dividend when it has been approved for payment by the Board of Directors. Dividends declared after the
year-end reporting date are disclosed in note 71.
Dividends on preference shares accounted for as equity and distributions on the Reserve Capital Instruments are recognised in
equity when approved for payment by the Board of Directors.
Other equity interests
Other equity interests relate to Reserve Capital Instruments and the fair value of the warrants attaching to the 2009 Preference Shares
(note 46). Any gain or loss on the extinguishment or remeasurement of the Reserve Capital Instruments is recognised in equity net of
tax.
Capital reserves
Capital reserves represent transfers from retained earnings in accordance with relevant legislation.
Revaluation reserves
Revaluation reserves represent the unrealised surplus, net of tax, which arose on revaluation of properties prior to the implementation
of IFRS at 1 January 2004.
248
29 Shareholders’ equity (continued)
Capital redemption reserves
These reserves arose from the renominalisation of the ordinary shares of the company. Each ordinary share was subdivided into one
ordinary share of € 0.01 each and thirty one deferred shares of € 0.01 each. The deferred shares were acquired by AIB and
immediately cancelled. Following cancellation, the amount standing to the credit of the deferred shares account was transferred to a
capital redemption reserves account.
Available for sale securities reserves
Available for sale securities reserves represent the net unrealised gain or loss, net of tax, arising from the recognition in the statement of
financial position of financial investments available for sale at fair value.
Cash flow hedging reserves
Cash flow hedging reserves represent the net gains or losses, net of tax, on effective cash flow hedging instruments that will be
reclassified to the income statement when the hedged transaction affects profit or loss.
Capital contributions
Capital contributions represent the receipt of non-refundable funds arising from transactions with the Irish Government (note 56).
These funds comprise both financial and non-financial net assets. The contributions are classified as equity and may be either
distributable or non-distributable. Capital contributions are distributable if the assets received are in the form of cash or another asset
that is readily convertible to cash, otherwise, they are treated as non-distributable. Capital contributions arose during 2011 from
(a) EBS transaction; (b) Anglo transaction; (c) issue of contingent capital notes; and (d) non-refundable receipts from the Irish
Government and the NPRFC.
The capital contribution from the EBS transaction (note 24) is treated as non-distributable as the related net assets received are
largely non-cash in nature. In the case of the Anglo transaction (note 23) the excess of the assets over the liabilities comprised of
NAMA senior bonds. On initial recognition, this excess was accounted for as a non-distributable capital contribution. However,
according as NAMA repays these bonds, the proceeds received will be deemed to be distributable and the relevant amount will be
transferred from the capital contribution account to revenue reserves.
AIB issued contingent convertible capital notes to the Irish Government (note 45) where the proceeds of issue amounting to
€1.6 billion exceeded the fair value of the instruments issued. This excess has been accounted for as a capital contribution and will be
treated as distributable according as the fair value adjustment on the notes amortises to the income statement.
The non-refundable receipts of € 6,054 million from the Irish Government and the NPRFC are distributable. These are included
in revenue reserves.
Revenue reserves
Revenue reserves represent retained earnings of the parent company, subsidiaries and associated undertakings. It is shown net of the
cumulative deficit within the defined benefit pension schemes and other appropriate adjustments.
Foreign currency translation reserves
The foreign currency translation reserves represent the cumulative gains and losses on the retranslation of the Group’s net investment
in foreign operations, at the rate of exchange at the year-end reporting date net of the cumulative gain or loss on instruments
designated as net investment hedges.
Treasury shares
Where the Company or other members of the consolidated Group purchase the Company’s equity share capital, the consideration
paid is deducted from total shareholders’ equity as treasury shares until they are cancelled. Where such shares are subsequently sold or
re-issued, any consideration received is included in shareholders’ equity.
Share based payments reserves
The share based payment expense charged to the income statement is credited to the share based payment reserve over the vesting
period of the shares and options. Upon grant of shares and exercise and lapsing of options, the amount in respect of the award credited
to the share based payment reserves is transferred to revenue reserves.
Non-controlling interests
Non-controlling interests comprise both equity and other equity interests. Equity interests relate to the interests of outside
shareholders in consolidated subsidiaries. Other equity interests relate to non-cumulative perpetual preferred securities issued by a
subsidiary.

30 Insurance and investment contracts
The Group accounted for its Long Term business in Aviva Life Holdings Ireland Limited (“ALH”) in accordance with IFRS 4
‘Insurance Contracts’ up to the date on which it was classified as held for sale. (Accounting policy 23) Insurance contracts are those
contracts containing significant insurance risk. In the case of life contracts, insurance risk exists if the amount payable on the
occurrence of an insured event exceeds the assets backing the contract, or could do so in certain circumstances, and the product of the
probability of the insured event occurring and the excess amount payable has commercial substance. In particular, guaranteed equity
bonds which guarantee a return of the original premium irrespective of the current value of the backing assets are deemed to be
insurance contracts notwithstanding that at the year-end reporting date there may be no excess of the original premium over the
backing assets. Investment contracts are contracts that do not have significant insurance risk.
Insurance contracts
The Group accounts for its insurance contracts using the Market Consistent Embedded Value Principles (“MCEV”), published by the
CFO Forum. The embedded value comprises two components: the net assets attributable to the Group and the present value of the
in-force business (“VIF”). The change in the VIF before tax is accounted for as revenue. The value is estimated as the net present value
of future cash flows attributable to the Group before tax, based on the market value of the assets at the year-end reporting date, using
assumptions that reflect experience and a long-term outlook for the economy and then discounting at an appropriate risk free yield
curve rate.
Insurance contract liabilities are calculated on a statutory basis. Premiums are recognised as revenue when due from the
policyholder. Claims, which together with the increase in insurance contract liabilities are recognised in the income statement as they
arise, are the cost of all claims arising during the period.
Investment contracts
Investment contracts are primarily unit-linked. Unit linked liabilities are deemed equal to the value of units attaching to contracts at
the year-end reporting date. The liability is measured at fair value, which is the bid value of the assets held to match the liability.
Increases in investment contract liabilities are recognised in the income statement as they arise. Revenue in relation to investment
management services is recognised as the services are provided. Certain upfront fees and charges have been deferred and are
recognised as income over the life of the contract. Premiums and claims are accounted for directly in the statement of financial
position as adjustments to the investment contract liability.
31 Segment reporting
An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it earns revenues and incurs expenses.
The Group has identified reportable segments on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group that are regularly reviewed
by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in order to allocate resources to the segment and assess its performance. Based on
this identification, the reportable segments are the operating segments within the Group, the head of each being a member of the
Executive Committee (“Exco’’). The Exco is the CODM and it relies primarily on the management accounts to assess performance of
the reportable segments and when making resource allocation decisions.
Transactions between operating segments are on normal commercial terms and conditions, with internal charges and transfer
pricing adjustments reflected in the performance of each operating segment. Revenue sharing agreements are used to allocate external
customer revenues to an operating segment on a reasonable basis. Interest income earned on capital not allocated to operating
segments is retained in Group.
Geographical segments provide products and services within a particular economic environment that is subject to risks and
rewards that are different to those components operating in other economic environments. The geographical distribution of profit
before taxation is based primarily on the location of the office recording the transaction. In addition, geographic distribution of loans
and related impairment is also based on the location of the office recording the transaction.
32 Cash and cash equivalents
For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits, and cash equivalents comprise highly
liquid investments that are convertible into cash with an insignificant risk of changes in value and with original maturities of less than
three months.

33 Prospective accounting changes
The following new accounting standards and amendments to existing standards approved by the IASB in 2011 or prior years, but not early
adopted by the Group, will impact the Group’s financial reporting in future periods. The Group is currently considering the impacts of these
amendments.The new accounting standards and amendments which are more relevant to the Group are detailed below.
The following will be applied in 2012
Amendments to IFRS 7, Disclosures – Transfers of Financial Assets
In October 2010, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: “Disclosures -Transfers of Financial Assets”. These
amendments, which are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011, with earlier application permitted, comprise
additional disclosures on transfer transactions of financial assets (for example, securitisations), including the possible effects of any risks that
may remain with the transferor of the assets. The impact of these amendments is currently being assessed by the Group.
The following will be applied in 2013 unless otherwise noted:
Amendments to IAS 1 - Presentation of Items in Other Comprehensive Income
The amendments to IAS 1 were issued in June 2011 and are applicable to annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2012. These
amendments require companies preparing financial statements in accordance with IFRSs to group together items within other
comprehensive income that may be reclassified to the profit or loss section of the income statement. The amendments also reaffirm
existing requirements that items in other comprehensive income and profit or loss should be presented as either a single statement or
two consecutive statements.
Consolidation Standards
In May 2011, the IASB published a set of five standards dealing with consolidation, joint ventures and their related disclosures. Each of
the five standards is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013, with retrospective application required.
IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements
IFRS 10 replaces the consolidation guidance in IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements and SIC-12 Consolidation - Special
Purpose Entities by introducing a single consolidation model for all entities based on control, irrespective of the nature of the investee.
IFRS 10 builds on existing principles by identifying the concept of control as the determining factor in whether an entity should be
included within the consolidated financial statements of the parent company. This new standard will not change consolidation procedures
for the Group, but will require management to assess whether an entity should be consolidated.
IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements
IFRS 11 introduces new accounting requirements for joint arrangements, replacing IAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures, by focusing on the
rights and obligations of the arrangement, rather than its legal form. The option to apply the proportional consolidation method when
accounting for jointly controlled entities is removed. The impact on the Group will be dependent on the formation of new joint
arrangements by the Group.
IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities
IFRS 12 sets out the required disclosures for entities reporting under the two new standards, IFRS 10 ‘Consolidated financial statements’
and IFRS 11 ‘Joint arrangements’; it also replaces the disclosure requirements currently found in IAS 28 ‘Investments in Associates’.
The required disclosures aim to provide information to enable users to evaluate the nature of, and risks associated with, an entity’s
interests in other entities and the effects of those interests on the entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. This basic
principle is further supported by more detailed disclosure objectives and requirements. This new standard will result in enhanced
disclosures on the Group’s subsidiaries and associates as well as unconsolidated structured entities.
IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements (revised 2011)
The requirements relating to separate financial statements are unchanged and are included in the amended IAS 27. The other sections of
IAS 27 are replaced by IFRS 10. IAS 27 is renamed ‘Separate financial statements’ and is now a standard dealing solely with separate
financial statements. The existing guidance and disclosure requirements for separate financial statements are unchanged.
IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (revised 2011)
This standard prescribes the accounting for investments in associates and sets out the requirements for the application of the equity method
when accounting for investments in associates and joint ventures. IAS 28 (revised 2011) does not include any disclosure requirements; these
are now included in IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities.
251
Accounting policies (continued)
33 Prospective accounting changes (continued)
IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement
This standard, which applies prospectively for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013, establishes a single source of guidance
for fair value measurements under IFRSs. IFRS 13 defines fair value, provides guidance on its determination and introduces consistent
requirements for disclosures on fair value measurements. IFRS 13 requires entities to disclose information about the valuation techniques
and inputs used to measure fair value, as well as information about the uncertainty inherent in fair value measurements. This information
will be required for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. The impact of the standard is being assessed by AIB and may
result in significant additional disclosures.
IAS 19 Employee Benefits
Amendments to IAS 19 Employee Benefits were published by the IASB in June 2011 and are effective for annual periods beginning on
or after 1 January 2013 with retrospective application required. These amendments result in significant changes to accounting for defined
benefit pension plans. There are also a number of other changes, including modification to the timing of recognition for termination
benefits, the classification of short-term employee benefits and disclosures of defined benefit plans. The accounting options available
under current IAS 19 have been eliminated which will result in increased comparability between the financial statements of IFRS
reporters.
The most significant amendment is the requirement that actuarial gains and losses are now required to be recognised in other
comprehensive income and are excluded permanently from profit or loss. In the past, there was an option to defer recognition of gains
and losses. In addition, expected returns on plan assets will no longer be recognised in profit or loss. The expected return and the interest
cost are replaced by recording net interest in profit or loss, net interest is calculated using the discount rate used to measure the pension
obligation. Unvested past service costs can no longer be deferred and recognised over the future vesting period. Instead, all past service
costs will be recognised at the earlier of when the amendment/curtailment occurs and when the entity recognises related restructuring
or termination costs.
Since AIB already recognises full actuarial gains and losses immediately, the removal of the option to defer will not impact its
financial statements. Other aspects of the amendments are currently being assessed but are not expected to have a significant impact on
the Group’s profit or loss.
Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Amendments to IAS 32, and Disclosures – Offsetting Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities – Amendments to IFRS 7
In December 2011, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 32 and IFRS 7 which clarify the accounting requirements for offsetting
financial instruments and introduce new disclosure requirements that aim to improve the comparability of financial statements prepared
in accordance with IFRS and US GAAP.
The amendments to IFRS 7 will require more extensive disclosures than are currently required. The disclosures focus on quantitative
information about recognised financial instruments that are offset in the statement of financial position, as well as those recognised
financial instruments that are subject to master netting or similar arrangements, irrespective of whether they are offset. The amended
offsetting disclosures are to be retrospectively applied, with an effective date of annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013.
The amendments to IAS 32 clarify that the right of set-off must be currently available and legally enforceable for all counterparties
in the normal course of business, as well as in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy. The IAS 32 changes are effective for annual
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014 and apply retrospectively.
The following will be applied in 2015 if EU endorsed:
IFRS 9 Financial instruments
In 2009, the IASB commenced the implementation of its project plan for the replacement of IAS 39. This consists of three main phases:
Phase 1: Classification and measurement
In November 2009, the IASB issued IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, covering classification and measurement of financial assets, as the first
part of its project to replace IAS 39 and simplify the accounting for financial instruments. The new standard endeavours to enhance the
ability of investors and other users of financial information to understand the accounting for financial assets and to reduce complexity.
IFRS 9 uses a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortised cost or fair value, replacing the many
different rules in IAS 39. The approach in IFRS 9 is based on how an entity manages its financial instruments (its business model) and
the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets.
252
33 Prospective accounting changes (continued)
In October 2010, the IASB reissued IFRS 9 incorporating new requirements on accounting for financial liabilities, and carrying over
from IAS 39 the requirements for derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. IFRS 9 does not change the basic accounting
model for financial liabilities under IAS 39.Two measurement categories continue to exist: fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”)
and amortised cost. Financial liabilities held for trading are measured at FVTPL, and all other financial liabilities are measured at
amortised cost unless the fair value option is applied. IFRS 9 requires gains and losses on financial liabilities designated as at fair value
through profit or loss to be split into the amount of change in the fair value that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of the
liability, which should be presented in other comprehensive income, and the remaining amount of change in the fair value of the liability
which should be presented in profit or loss.
- The basic premise for the derecognition model in IFRS 9 (carried over from IAS 39) is to determine whether the asset under
consideration for derecognition is:
- an asset in its entirety; or
- specifically identified cash flows from an asset (or a group of similar financial assets); or
- a fully proportionate (pro rata) share of the cash flows from an asset (or a group of similar financial assets); or
- a fully proportionate (pro rata) share of specifically identified cash flows from a financial asset (or a group of similar
financial assets).
- A financial liability should be removed from the statement of financial position when, and only when, it is extinguished, that is,
when the obligation specified in the contract is either discharged or cancelled or expires.
- All derivatives, including those linked to unquoted equity investments, are measured at fair value. Value changes are recognised in
profit or loss unless the entity has elected to treat the derivative as a hedging instrument in accordance with IAS 39, in which case
the requirements of IAS 39 apply.
Phase 2: Impairment methodology
An exposure draft issued by the IASB in November 2009 proposes an ‘expected loss model’ for impairment. Under this model, expected
losses are recognised throughout the life of a loan or other financial asset measured at amortised cost, not just after a loss event has been
identified. The expected loss model avoids what many see as a mismatch under the incurred loss model – front-loading of interest
revenue (which includes an amount to cover the lender’s expected loan loss) while the impairment loss is recognised only after a loss
event occurs. The impairment phase of IFRS 9 is subject to on-going deliberations and has not yet been finalised.
Phase 3: Hedge accounting
In December 2010, the IASB issued an exposure draft on hedge accounting which will ultimately be incorporated into IFRS 9. The
exposure draft proposes a model for hedge accounting that aims to align accounting with risk management activities. It is proposed that
the financial statements will reflect the effect of an entity’s risk management activities that uses financial instruments to manage exposures
arising from particular risks that could affect profit or loss. This aims to convey the context of hedge instruments to allow insight into
their purpose and effect. This phase of IFRS 9 is not yet finalised.
The effective date for implementation of IFRS 9 is annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015, which was extended from
1 January 2013 due to delays in completing phases 2 and 3 of the project as well as the delay in the insurance project.
Since significant aspects of the standard have yet to be finalised, it is impracticable for the Group to quantify the impact of IFRS 9 at this
stage.

1 Segmental information
Following a review of the organisation structure, the current segment structure was announced in mid 2011 and consequently the first
half of 2011 along with 2010 was restated. Non-Core, which comprises assets which AIB is committed to deleveraging together with
related costs, is reported as a distinct portfolio.
The segments’ performance statements include all income and direct costs relating to each segment but exclude overheads which
are held centrally in the Group segment. Funding and liquidity charges are based on actual wholesale funding costs incurred and a
segment’s net funding requirement. Wholesale funding costs include the Irish Government’s Eligible Liabilities Guarantee (“ELG”)
Scheme charges relating to wholesale funds. Net interest income also includes ELG charges directly attaching to customer deposits
within a segment. Income on capital is allocated to segments based on each segment’s capital requirement. Surplus capital is held in
the Group segment. The cost of services between segments and from central support functions to segments is based on the estimated
actual cost incurred in providing the service.
Personal & Business Banking (“PBB”) comprises banking operations for the personal segment and small enterprises within the
Republic of Ireland.This segment also includes Channel Islands and the Isle of Man.
Corporate, Institutional and Commercial Banking (“CICB”) comprises banking operations for mid-sized corporate and
commercial enterprises. It also includes a Corporate Finance business and a Treasury customer services area which delivers treasury
services to customers of the Group.
AIB UK comprises retail and commercial banking operations in Britain operating under the trading name Allied Irish Bank (GB)
and in Northern Ireland operating under the trading name First Trust Bank.
EBS was acquired by AIB Group on 1 July 2011.The segment view is shown on a consistent basis to other segments which differs
from the legal entity basis. EBS wholesale treasury operations are reported as part of the Group segment and assets identified as
non-core are reported as part of Non-Core.
Group includes wholesale treasury activities, unallocated costs of central services and income on capital not allocated to segments.
Non-Core comprises those assets which AIB is committed to deleveraging and losses on the transfer of loans to NAMA, together
with related costs.

Revenue from external customers comprises interest income (note 2); fee income (note 5) and trading loss (note 6).
(1)Gain on redemption of subordinated liabilities and other capital instruments of € 3,277 million (2010: € 372 million) is recorded within the Group
segment (note 7).
(2)Total assets exclude Nil (2010: € 13,820 million) discontinued assets which are shown on the statement of financial position within disposal
groups and non current assets held for sale (note 26).
(3)The fungible nature of liabilities within the banking industry inevitably leads to allocations of liabilities to segments, some of which are necessarily
subjective. Accordingly, the directors believe that the analysis of total assets is more meaningful than the analysis of liabilities.
(4)Total liabilities excludes Nil (2010: € 11,546 million) discontinued liabilities which are shown on the statement of financial position within disposal
groups held for sale (note 26).
(5)The geographical distribution of net interest and other income/(loss) is based primarily on the location of the office recording the transaction.
(6)For details of significant geographic concentrations, see 3.1 Credit risk.
(7)Loss on disposal of financial assets to NAMA is recorded within the Republic of Ireland and United Kingdom.
(8)Gain on redemption of subordinated liabilities and other capital instruments is recorded in Republic of Ireland.

7 Gain on redemption/remeasurement of subordinated liabilities and other capital instruments
2011
Since 2009, the Group has been involved in a number of initiatives to increase its core tier 1 capital. In this regard, in January, June and
July 2011, the Group completed offers to purchase for cash certain capital instruments as outlined in the tables below. These offers to
purchase for cash, accounted for under IAS 39, meet the requirements to be treated as an extinguishment of the original instruments.
January
This transaction comprised a tender offer by AIB for cash for certain of its tier 2 capital instruments denominated in various
currencies. These instruments were purchased at 30% of their face value. It resulted in a total gain of € 1,534 million (€ 1,534 million
after taxation) all of which is recorded in the income statement.
June/July
On 14 April 2011, the High Court issued a Subordinated Liabilities Order under section 29 of the Credit Institutions (Stabilisation)
Act 2010 (the “SLO”), with the consent of AIB. The SLO changed the terms of all outstanding subordinated instruments resulting in
a gain for AIB. (See note 56(b)).
On 13 May 2011, AIB launched a tender offer for cash for all its outstanding subordinated liabilities and other capital instruments.
Under this offer, AIB agreed to purchase the instruments at 10% to 25% of their face value. Following completion of the offer and
where a certain percentage (a quorum) of the holders agreed to accept the offer, AIB had an option to redeem or purchase all of the
remaining outstanding instruments at an option price of 0.001% of the nominal amount, which it exercised.
In relation to instruments settled a gain amounting to € 1,664 million (€ 1,633 million after taxation) was recognised in the
income statement and a gain amounting to € 387 million (€ 344 million after taxation) was recognised directly in equity.
Non-controlling interests accounted for € 171 million (€ 128 million after taxation) of the gain recognised directly in equity where
the carrying value derecognised amounted to € 189 million.
The quorum required to accept the offer was not reached for three remaining instruments listed below.
(i) € 500m Callable Step-up Floating Rate Notes due October 2017 (maturity extended to 2035 as a result of the SLO);

(iii) Stg£ 500m Callable Fixed/Floating Rate Notes due March 2025 (maturity extended to 2035 as a result of the SLO).
Since the terms of these series of notes changed arising from the SLO which was effective from 22 April 2011, the original
liabilities have been derecognised and new liabilities recognised, with their remeasurement based on fair value. The gain of
€ 79 million arising on derecognition of the original liabilities/initial recognition of the new liabilities has been recognised in the
income statement.
The subordinated liabilities and other capital instruments of the Group are set out in note 45. The RCI and LPI are set out in
notes 49 and 53 respectively.

7 Gain on redemption/remeasurement of subordinated liabilities and other capital instruments (continued)
2010
On 29 March 2010, the Group completed the exchange of lower tier 2 capital instruments for new lower tier 2 capital qualifying
securities. This involved the issue of euro, dollar and sterling subordinated capital instruments in exchange for the securities outlined in
the following table. The fair value of the instruments issued was at a premium to their par value and, in accordance with IAS 39, will
be amortised to the income statement over the lives of the notes. This exchange of debt, accounted for under IAS 39, met the
requirements to be treated as an extinguishment of the original instruments. However, since the original instruments were
extinguished by the issue of new subordinated capital instruments, this was a non-cash transaction except for the costs incurred in
issuing the new instruments.
The following table sets out the carrying values of each instrument tendered for exchange, and the consideration given, including
costs, to arrive at the gain on redemption:

7 Gain on redemption/remeasurement of subordinated liabilities and other capital instruments (continued)
2009
In June 2009, the Group completed the exchange of non-core tier 1 and upper tier 2 capital instruments for a lower tier 2 issue. This
involved the redemption of the securities outlined in the following table at a discount to their nominal value or issue price, but at a
premium to their trading range. The consideration for the redemption was the issue of euro and sterling subordinated capital
instruments. This exchange of debt is accounted for under IAS 39 and meets the requirements to be treated as an extinguishment of
the original instruments. It resulted in a total gain of € 1,161 million (€ 1,161 million after taxation) with € 623 million being
recorded in the income statement and a gain of € 538 million being recorded directly in equity. The gain recorded in the income
statement relates to those instruments which were held as liabilities on the statement of financial position as ‘Subordinated liabilities
and other capital instruments’ whilst the gain recorded directly in equity refers to instruments recorded under ‘Shareholders’ equity’.
However, since the original instruments were extinguished by the issue of new subordinated capital instruments, this was a non-cash
transaction except for the costs incurred in issuing the new instruments.
The following table sets out the carrying values of each instrument tendered for exchange, the consideration given and costs
arising, to arrive at the gain on redemption.

The subordinated liabilities and other capital instruments were exchanged at discounts ranging from 33% to 50%. The gain
relating to the subordinated liabilities and other capital instruments recognised in the income statement amounted to € 623 million
(€ 623 million after taxation). The gain relating to the redemption of the RCI and LPI amounted to € 538 million (€ 538 million
after taxation) and this has been recognised directly in equity. This gain was treated as tax exempt.

8 Loss on transfer of financial instruments to NAMA
In February 2010, AIB was designated a participating institution under the NAMA Act which was enacted in November 2009. By
31 December 2010, financial assets with a net carrying value of € 14,010 million had transferred. Further transfers took place during
2011. The consideration received was in the form of Government Guaranteed Floating Rate Notes (senior bonds) and Floating Rate
Perpetual Subordinated Bonds (subordinated bonds) issued by NAMA which were initially measured at fair value (notes 57 and 74).
Losses arose on transfer due to NAMA acquiring these financial instruments at a discount to their carrying value. The following table
sets out the transfers during 2011 and the loss arising:

(2)Fair value of consideration on transfers to NAMA totalling € 818 million, has been settled by € 803 million NAMA senior bonds (note 33) and
€ 15 million NAMA subordinated bonds (note 34).
(3)Excludes amounts relating to interest income, related funding and other income on the underlying financial instruments.
(4)At 31 December 2010, the transfer in 2011 of certain loans to NAMA was deemed to be unavoidable, accordingly a provision was made for the
expected discount based on the loans identified for transfer and the haircut that NAMA had communicated would be applied to such loans (note 44).
Adjustments to transfers have either been settled through a mixture of cash settlements, a return or issue of NAMA senior and
subordinated bonds, or the creation of a receivable or a NAMA provision at 31 December 2011.

(ii) Employees’ Profit Sharing Schemes
The Company operates the “AIB Approved Employees’ Profit Sharing Scheme 1998” (‘the Scheme’) on terms approved by the
shareholders at the 1998 Annual General Meeting. All employees, including executive directors of the Company and certain subsidiaries
are eligible to participate, subject to minimum service periods and being in employment on the date on which an invitation to participate
is issued. The Directors, at their discretion, may set aside each year, for distribution under the Scheme, a sum not exceeding 5% of eligible
profits of participating companies.
Eligible employees in the Republic of Ireland may elect to receive any profit sharing allocations either in shares or in cash. Such
shares are held by Trustees for a minimum period of two years and are required to be held for a total period of three years for the
employees to obtain the maximum tax benefit. No shares were distributed in respect of this Scheme since 2008. This Scheme is not a
share based payments scheme as defined by IFRS 2 - Share Based Payment.
A Share Ownership Plan (‘the Plan’) operates in the UK in place of a profit sharing scheme. The Plan, which was approved by
shareholders at the 2002 Annual General Meeting, provides for the acquisition by eligible employees of shares in a number of
categories: Partnership Shares, in which each eligible employee may invest up to Stg£ 1,500 per annum from salary; Free Shares,
involving the award by the Company of shares up to the value of Stg£ 3,000 per annum per employee, and Dividend Shares which
may be acquired by each eligible employee, by re-investing dividends of up to Stg£ 1,500 per annum. No shares have been awarded
since 2008 under the Free Share category.
Free Shares are forfeited on a sliding scale should the employee leave the service of the Group within three years of grant date.
The following table summarises activity in the Free Share category during 2011, 2010 and 2009.

(iii) AIB Save As You Earn (SAYE) Share Option Scheme UK
The Company operates a Save As You Earn Share Option Scheme (‘the Scheme’) in the UK. The Scheme is open to all
employees of AIB Group in the UK who have completed six months continuous service at the date of grant. Under the Scheme,
employees may opt to save fixed amounts on a regular basis, over a three-year period, subject to a maximum monthly saving of
Stg£ 250 per employee. At the end of the three-year period, (a) a tax-free bonus equal to a multiple of the participants’ monthly
contribution is added in line with rates approved by the Inland Revenue (1.6 times for contracts entered into in 2008) and (b) the
participant has 6 months in which to exercise the option and purchase ordinary shares at the option price (being the average price per
AIB ordinary share, on the London Stock Exchange on the day prior to grant date, less 20% discount); or the participant may
withdraw the savings and bonus amount. Options were last granted under this scheme in 2008.

(iv) AIB Group Performance Share Plan 2005
The following disclosures regarding the AIB Group Performance Share Plan 2005 (‘the Plan’) relate to both AIB Group and to
Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c.. The Plan was approved by the shareholders at the 2005 AGM. Conditional grants of awards of ordinary shares
are made to employees. These awards vest in full on the third anniversary of the grant if the performance conditions at (a) and (b)
below are met:
(a) 50% of awards will vest if the growth in the Company’s EPS over the three-year period beginning with the year of grant is not less
than the increase in the Irish CPI plus 10% per annum, compounded, over that period; and
(b) 50% of awards will vest if:
(i) the Company’s Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) over the period referred to at (a) above relative to the banks in the
FTSE Euro first 300 Banks Index (listed in the Rules of the Plan) is such as to position AIB not below the 80th percentile;and
(ii) the Remuneration Committee is also satisfied that the recorded TSR is a genuine reflection of the Group’s underlying
financial performance during the relevant three consecutive complete financial years.
For performance below these levels, the following vesting will apply:
- 10% of awards will vest if the growth in the Company’s EPS over the three-year period beginning with the year of grant is not less
than the increase in the Irish CPI plus 5% per annum, compounded over that period;
- 10% of awards will also vest if the Company’s TSR over the period relative to the peer group at (b)(i) and subject also to the
underlying performance conditions at (b)(ii) is not less than the median TSR of that peer group;
- Between these levels of performance (i.e. EPS growth over the period of Irish CPI plus more than 5% and up to 10% per annum
compounded, and TSR between the median and the 80th percentile) awards will vest on a graduated scale; and
- No awards will vest if performance is below the minimum levels stated above.
The market value of the shares at the date of the grant in 2008 are used to determine the value of the grants, adjusted
to take into account expected vesting, for the part of the award subject to the EPS vesting criteria. In respect of the part of award
subject to the TSR vesting criteria, the expense was determined at date of grant taking into account the expected vesting of the
shares. The TSR vesting criteria is also subject to an earnings underpin and the income statement expense is adjusted to take into
account expected vesting.
No conditional grants were outstanding at end of December 2011. The performance conditions relating to the conditional awards
of shares granted in 2008 were measured in 2011 over the performance years 2008, 2009 and 2010. In light of which the
Remuneration Committee determined that AIB failed to reach the performance conditions required and the outstanding awards of
1,523,326 shares lapsed. There were no awards of performance shares in 2011.
The following table summarises the Performance Share activity during 2011, 2010 and 2009.

12 Retirement benefits
The Group operates a number of pension and retirement benefit schemes for employees, the majority of which are funded. These
include both defined benefit and defined contribution schemes. As a result of the acquisition of EBS on 1 July 2011, the schemes
sponsored by EBS are included where appropriate. EBS operates two defined benefit schemes and a hybrid scheme. The hybrid scheme
includes elements of a defined benefit scheme and a defined contribution scheme.
(i) Defined benefit schemes
Of the defined benefit schemes operated by the Group, the most significant are the AIB Group Irish Pension Scheme (‘the Irish
scheme’) and the AIB Group UK Pension Scheme (‘the UK scheme’). The Irish scheme and the UK Scheme were closed to new
members from December 1997. Staff joining the Group in the Republic of Ireland between December 1997 and December 2007
became members of the Irish Defined Contribution (“DC”) scheme. A hybrid pension arrangement was introduced in Ireland in
December 2007 and members of the Irish DC scheme had the option at that time to switch to the hybrid pension arrangement. Staff
joining the Group in the Republic of Ireland after December 2007 automatically join the hybrid pension arrangement. Members of the
hybrid arrangement become members of the Irish scheme in respect of their basic annual salary up to a certain limit. Those members
whose salaries exceed the limit are members of the DC scheme in respect of that part of their basic annual salary above the limit.
Approximately 88 per cent. of staff in the Republic of Ireland (excluding EBS staff) are members of the Irish scheme while 50 per cent.
of staff in the UK are members of the UK scheme.
Retirement benefits for the defined benefit schemes are calculated by reference to service and pensionable salary at normal
retirement date. The benefits payable to future retirees of the Irish and UK schemes were amended during 2009. Retirement benefits
payable upon retirement will in future be based on the average pensionable salary over the five years before retirement, as opposed to
being payable on the level of final salary, subject to a retiree not receiving a pension lower than their current accrued benefit. The effect
of this curtailment was a reduction of € 159 million on the liability and a gain to the income statement of €159 million in 2009. In
2011, the benefits payable to future retirees of an unfunded scheme were reduced. This led to the recognition of a curtailment gain to
the income statement and a reduction of the liability of € 26 million.
Independent actuarial valuations for the main Irish and UK schemes are carried out on a triennial basis by the Group’s actuary,
Mercer. The last such valuations were carried out on 30 June 2009 using Projected Unit Methods.
The Irish scheme is funded by a normal contribution rate of 16.0 per cent. of pensionable salaries with effect from 1 January 2011.
In addition, further payments totalling € 5 million were made into the scheme in 2011 as required by regulation. In 2010, further
payments totalling € 199 million were made into the scheme. Members of the Irish scheme contribute 5 per cent. of pensionable salary
except for those who do not contribute in return for lower benefits.
The Irish Finance (No 2) Bill 2011 which was published on the 19 May 2011 introduced a stamp duty levy of 0.6% on the market
value of assets under management in Irish pension schemes, for the years 2011 to 2014 (inclusive). For the years 2012 to 2014
inclusive, the levy is based on the market value of the assets at the 1 January of each year. For 2011, the levy was based on the market
value of the assets at the 30 June 2011. A levy of € 16 million was paid in respect of the Irish defined benefit scheme. A levy of
€ 2 million was paid in respect of the Irish DC scheme. The payment of the levy in respect of the Irish defined benefit scheme was
included as part of the actuarial loss on assets in 2011. In 2012, the payment of this levy will be incorporated into the expected return
on pension scheme assets.
The UK scheme is funded by a normal contribution rate of 30.8 per cent. of pensionable salaries together with quarterly payments
of Stg£ 9.7 million from 1 April 2016 increasing by 3.4 per cent. per annum to Stg£ 12.6 million on 1 April 2024. A payment of
Stg£ 50.8 million was paid into the UK scheme in December 2010 and a further Stg£ 102 million paid in January 2011. Those sums
are part of a schedule of contributions agreed between the Group and the Trustees and accepted by the Pensions Regulator in the
United Kingdom.
The Group agreed with the Trustees of the Irish scheme as part of the triennial valuation process, that it will fund the deficit over
approximately 15 years (UK scheme: 15 years). The total contributions to all the defined benefit pension schemes operated by the
Group in 2012 is estimated to be € 97 million.
The next actuarial valuations in respect of the Irish and UK schemes are due no later than 30 June 2012. Actuarial valuations are
available for inspection by the members of the schemes.

Sensitivity analysis for principal assumptions used to measure scheme liabilities
There are inherent uncertainties surrounding the financial assumptions adopted in calculating the actuarial valuation of the AIB Group
Pension Schemes. Set out in the table below is a sensitivity analysis for the key assumptions for the Irish scheme and the UK scheme.
Note that the change in assumptions are independent of each other i.e. the effect of the reflected change in the discount rate assumes
that there has been no change in the rate of mortality assumption and vice versa.

(ii) Defined contribution schemes
The Group operates a number of defined contribution schemes. The defined benefit schemes in Ireland and the UK were closed to
new members from December 1997. Employees joining after December 1997 joined on a defined contribution basis. Members of the
DC scheme were offered the option to join the hybrid arrangement when it was introduced in December 2007. The standard
contribution rate to the DC scheme was 8 per cent. during 2011 and 10 per cent. in respect of the defined contribution elements of
the hybrid arrangement.
Staff joining in the UK from 1 January 2009 are eligible to become members of a new enhanced UK defined contribution
scheme. Existing members of the UK defined contribution scheme were also given the opportunity to join the enhanced scheme. The
enhanced scheme has employer contributions ranging from 5 per cent. to 20 per cent., increasing as the employee gets older. The
member contribution rate also increases with age. All members of the UK defined contribution scheme are also accruing benefits
under S2P (the UK State Second Pension).
The total cost in respect of the DC scheme, the EBS defined contribution schemes and the UK defined contribution schemes for
2011 was € 12 million (2010: € 13 million; 2009: € 16 million). For Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c., the total cost amounted to € 6 million
(2010: € 6 million; 2009: € 9 million), all of which relates to continuing operations. The cost in respect of defined contributions is
included in administrative expenses (note 10).
(iii) Long-term disability payments
AIB provide an additional benefit to employees who suffer prolonged periods of sickness. It provides for the partial replacement of
income in event of illness or injury resulting in the employee’s long term absence from work. In 2011, the Group contributed
€ 7 million (2010: € 7 million; 2009: € 8 million) towards insuring this benefit. This amount is included in administrative expenses
(note 10).

14 (Loss)/profit on disposal of property
2011
The sale of properties which were surplus to business requirements gave rise to a loss on disposal of € 1 million relating to continuing
operations. There were no sale and leaseback transactions completed during 2011.
2010
The sale of properties which were surplus to business requirements gave rise to a profit on disposal of € 1 million relating to
continuing operations. In addition, the Group continued with its sale and leaseback programme announced in 2006 and 29 properties
were sold giving rise to a profit before tax of € 45 million (€ 33 million after tax) reported within continuing operations. The leases
qualify as operating leases and the commitments in respect of the operating lease rentals (initial rent payable € 11 million per annum)
are included in note 65 Commitments, operating lease rentals. There were no sales recorded within discontinued operations.
2009
The sale of properties which were surplus to business requirements gave rise to a profit on disposal of € 2 million relating to
continuing operations. In addition, the Group continued with its sale and leaseback programme announced in 2006 and 15 properties
were sold giving rise to a profit before tax of € 21 million (€ 17 million after tax) reported within continuing operations. The leases
qualify as operating leases and the commitments in respect of the operating lease rentals (initial rent payable € 2 million per annum)
are included in note 65 Commitments, operating lease rentals. There were no sales recorded within discontinued operations.
15 Profit/(loss) on disposal of businesses
2011
On 30 June 2011, AIB announced that it had signed an agreement to sell its investment in AIB International Financial Services
Limited and related companies. AIB’s investment was derecognised at 30 November 2011, following regulatory approval for the
disposal. This has resulted in a profit of € 27 million before tax (tax charge: Nil). The Group also completed the disposal of an offshore
subsidiary AIB Jerseytrust Limited on 30 September 2011. This disposal resulted in a profit before tax of € 10 million (tax charge: Nil).
The Group received an additional € 1 million consideration which had been deferred in 2010 on the disposal of Goodbody Holdings
Limited.
2010
On 20 September 2010, AIB announced that it had signed an agreement to sell its investment in Goodbody Holdings Limited and
related companies. AIB’s investment was derecognised at 31 December 2010, following the sale becoming unconditional. This has
resulted in a loss of € 11 million before tax (tax charge: Nil).
2009
There were no disposals of businesses during the year ended 31 December 2009.

compared to previous years.
(2)Exempted income substantially relates to the gain on redemption of subordinated liabilities and other capital instruments (note 7) and the profit on
disposal of BZWBK (note 18).
(3)At 31 December 2011, € 52 million related to a change in the UK tax rate (31 December 2010: € 10 million; 31 December 2009: Nil).

18 Discontinued operations
Arising from the Prudential Capital Assessment Review (“PCAR”) 2010 requirement to raise additional capital, the Group announced
on 30 March 2010 that its investments in AIB Group (UK), BZWBK and M&T Bank Corporation were for sale. Subsequently,
Bulgarian American Credit Bank AD (“BACB”) was also included in the investments to be disposed. However, in the light of
continuing challenging market conditions, AIB announced on 19 November 2010 that it had decided to halt the sale process of its UK
business and to undertake a strategic review of this business in the context of reviewing AIB’s overall businesses.
The disposal of M&T Bank Corporation was completed on 4 November 2010. This transaction led to a loss on disposal of
€ 231 million. The sale of BZWBK was agreed on 10 September 2010 subject to regulatory approval and completed on 1 April 2011
and the sale of BACB completed on 17 June 2011.
The following tables set out income statement analysis of discontinued operations for 31 December 2011 together with comparative

20 (Loss)/earnings per share
The calculation of basic earnings per unit of ordinary/convertible non-voting (“CNV”) shares is based on the profit/(loss) attributable
to ordinary/CNV shareholders divided by the weighted average of ordinary/CNV shares in issue, excluding treasury shares and own
shares held.
The diluted earnings per share is based on the profit/(loss) attributable to ordinary/CNV shareholders divided by the weighted
average ordinary/CNV shares in issue excluding treasury shares and own shares held, adjusted for the effect of dilutive potential
ordinary shares.

(a) On 23 December 2010, AIB issued 675,107,845 ordinary shares and 10,489,899,564 CNV shares to the NPRFC. The CNV
shares ranked equally with the ordinary shares in terms of dividend payment and converted into ordinary shares on a one to one
basis on 8 April 2011.
(b) On 27 July 2011, AIB issued 500 billion ordinary shares to the NPRFC.
(c) Bonus shares in lieu of the dividend on the 2009 Preference Shares were issued to the NPRFC in both 2011 and 2010,
amounting to 1,247,273,565 and 198,089,847 shares respectively, details of which are set out below. The bonus shares have been
included in the weighted average number of shares in issue prospectively from the date of issue as they represent a dilution of
earnings per share from that date.
(d) The incremental shares from assumed conversion of options and warrants are not included in calculating the diluted per share
amounts because they are anti-dilutive. Outstanding warrants were cancelled 23 December 2010 and are no longer included in
calculating the diluted earnings per share.
(e) In July 2011, AIB issued € 1.6 billion in convertible capital notes (“CCNs”). These notes are mandatorily redeemable and
will convert to AIB ordinary shares at a conversion price of € 0.01 per share (note 45) if the Core Tier 1 capital ratio breaches
8.25%.These incremental shares have not been included in calculating the diluted per share amounts because they are anti-dilutive.
Both the ordinary and CNV shares are included in the weighted average number of shares on a time apportioned basis.
(1)Contingently issuable shares were treated as outstanding from 14 December 2009, the date the ‘Dividend Stopper’ came into effect (note 56(h)). The
shares relate to the number of shares (on a time apportioned basis) that would issue to the National Pension Reserve Fund Commission (“NPRFC”),
if the annual coupon on the € 3.5 billion Preference Shares was not paid in cash. These contingently issuable shares were issued on 13 May 2010.
(2)The dividend stopper remained in force throughout 2010, accordingly, contingently issuable shares have been treated as outstanding from 13 May
2010 in respect of the dividend payment due on 13 May 2011. This dividend was satisfied through bonus shares, 484,902,878 of which were issued
on 13 May 2011, leaving a residual of 762,370,687 which were issued in July 2011. Accordingly, 484,902,878 were treated as contingently issuable
for the period up to 13 May 2011, with 724,252,152 being contingently issuable up to 26 July 2011. In addition, 38,118,535 contingently issuable
shares have been included from 13 May to 26 July 2011 as the full issue of shares was not satisfied on the due date (note 46).

Notes to the accounts
21 Distributions to other equity holders
Distributions to other equity holders are recognised in equity when declared by the Board of Directors. In 2011, the distribution on
the € 500 million Reserve Capital Instruments (“RCIs”) amounted to Nil as the dividend stopper as set out in note 56 precluded the
payment of distributions on the RCI (2010: Nil; 2009: € 44 million). Included in 2009, is a coupon of € 6 million which was paid in
June 2009 in conjunction with the redemption of € 258 million of the RCI. The outstanding amount of € 239 million of the RCI
was purchased in full for cash in June 2011 (notes 7 and 49).
22 Distributions on equity shares
No dividends were paid on ordinary shares in 2011, 2010 or 2009.

23 Transfer of business from Anglo Irish Bank Corporation
On 24 February 2011, AIB announced that it had agreed, pursuant to a transfer order issued by the High Court (under the Credit
Institutions (Stabilisation) Act 2010), the transfer of deposits and NAMA senior bonds from Anglo Irish Bank Corporation (‘Anglo’)
to AIB. AIB also announced the transfer to AIB by way of a share sale of Anglo Irish Bank Corporation (International) PLC in the Isle
of Man (‘Anglo IOM’), which included customer deposits. In total, € 6.9 billion in deposits and € 11.9 billion in NAMA senior
bonds (nominal value € 12.2 billion) transferred. In addition, a further € 1.6 billion in deposits were held in Anglo IOM. A net capital
contribution of € 1.5 billion was generated on the date of the transaction.
Transferred deposits will continue to receive protection under the various Irish Government guarantee schemes that are already in
place in respect of such deposits.
This transaction between AIB and Anglo, both of which are under the common control of the Irish Government, is a transfer of a
business (as defined by IFRS 3). In line with the Group accounting policy for transfer of a business under common control, this
acquisition is accounted for at carrying value.
Management estimates that had Anglo IOM been consolidated from 1 January 2011, it would have contributed € 2 million of
additional revenue and Nil of additional profits before taxation to the Group.
The key elements of the transfer are:
Identifiable assets acquired at carrying value
NAMA senior bonds (note 33)
Accrued interest on NAMA senior bonds
Anglo IOM net assets
Amounts due from Anglo
Identifiable liabilities acquired at carrying value

24 Acquisition of EBS Limited (“EBS”)
On 31 March 2011, the Minister for Finance proposed the combination of AIB and EBS to form one of the two pillar banks in the
Republic of Ireland. On 26 May 2011, AIB entered into an agreement with EBS, the Minister for Finance and the NTMA to acquire
100% of the share capital of EBS for a nominal consideration of €1. The acquisition completed on 1 July 2011 and EBS was
consolidated into the AIB Group financial statements with effect from 1 July 2011.
As part of the transaction EBS was demutualised and was issued a banking licence. EBS, which has been renamed ‘EBS
Limited’,will now operate as a fully licensed, wholly-owned subsidiary of AIB, with its own branch network. The principal activities
of EBS involve the provision of mortgage lending, savings, investments and insurance arrangement services to customers.
Both AIB and EBS are under the common control of the Irish Government, therefore, the acquisition has been accounted for as a
common control transaction under the carrying value basis in accordance with AIB Group accounting policy. The result of the
transaction is recognised in equity as arising from a transaction with shareholders.
The carrying value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as at the acquisition date are as follows:
Assets
Cash and balances at central banks
Financial assets held for sale to NAMA
Derivative financial instruments
Loans and receivables to banks
Loans and receivables to customers
Financial investments available for sale

The net assets amount of € 742 million is reflected as a capital contribution in Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c.’s separate financial statements.
In the Group’s financial statements, the capital contribution amounts to € 777 million, a difference of € 35 million to that recognised
at parent company level.This difference arises from the cross holdings of investments between AIB and EBS which are eliminated at a
consolidated Group level.
Acquisition related costs of € 0.4 million have been included in operating expenses.
(1)AIB accounting policies have been applied to EBS balances at 30 June 2011.

Contribution from date of acquisition
Management estimates that had EBS been consolidated from 1 January 2011, it would have contributed € 531 million of additional
revenue and € 31 million of additional losses before taxation to the Group.
Cashflows in respect of EBS acquisition
The aggregate net inflow of cash on acquisition of EBS was € 359 million net of transaction costs of € 0.4 million.

26 Disposal groups and non-current assets held for sale
At 31 December 2011, disposal groups and non-current assets held for sale comprise non-current assets and non-current liabilities
held for sale. These mainly include loans and receivables, but also included within this caption are the Group’s investments in (a) AIB
Investments Managers Limited; (b) AmCredit; and (c) Aviva Life Holdings Ireland Limited (“ALH”).
Arising from the results of the PCAR/PLAR in March 2011, AIB is required to dispose of non-core financial assets (note 56(f)).
Accordingly, certain assets are classified as held for sale at 31 December 2011. These assets do not constitute a major line of business or
a geographical area of operations. At 31 December 2010, discontinued operations were included within this caption and comprised
BZWBK and Bulgarian American Credit Bank AD.

During 2008, trading portfolio financial assets reclassified to financial investments available for sale, in accordance with the amended
IAS 39 ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’, amounted to € 6,104 million. The fair value of reclassified assets at
31 December 2011 was € 1,410 million (2010: € 2,538 million; 2009: € 4,104 million; 2008: € 5,674 million).
As of the reclassification date, effective interest rates on reclassified trading portfolio financial assets ranged from 4% to 10% with
expected gross recoverable cash flows of € 7,105 million. If the reclassification had not been made, the Group’s income statement for
the year ended 31 December 2011 would have included unrealised fair value gains on reclassified trading portfolio financial assets of
€ 91 million all of which relates to continuing operations (2010: gains € 38 million; 2009: gains € 5 million both of which relate to
continuing operations).
After reclassification, the reclassified assets contributed the following amounts to the income statement:

Notes to the accounts
28 Derivative financial instruments
Derivatives are used to service customer requirements, to manage the Group’s interest rate, exchange rate, equity and credit exposures
and for trading purposes. Derivative instruments are contractual agreements whose value is derived from price movements in
underlying assets, interest rates, foreign exchange rates or indices. The majority of the Group’s derivative activities are undertaken at the
parent company level and the following discussion applies equally to the parent company and Group.
Market risk is the exposure to potential loss through holding interest rate, exchange rate and equity positions in the face of
absolute and relative price movements, interest rate volatility, movements in exchange rates and shifts in liquidity. Credit risk is the
exposure to loss should the counterparty to a financial instrument fail to perform in accordance with the terms of the contract.
While notional principal amounts are used to express the volume of derivative transactions, the amounts subject to credit risk are
much lower because derivative contracts typically involve payments based on the net differences between specified prices or rates.
Credit risk in derivatives contracts is the risk that the Group’s counterparty in the contract defaults prior to maturity at a time when
the Group has a claim on the counterparty under the contract (i.e. contracts with a positive fair value). The Group would then have to
replace the contract at the current market rate, which may result in a loss. For risk management purposes, consideration is taken of the
fact that not all counterparties to derivative positions are expected to default at the point where the Group is most exposed to them.
The following tables present the notional principal amount together with the positive fair value of interest rate, exchange rate, equity
and credit derivative contracts for 2011 and 2010. For both 2011 and 2010, only continuing operations are shown for AIB Group.
Those held for sale to NAMA are shown in note 25 and those held as discontinued operations are shown in note 72.

Notes to the accounts
28 Derivative financial instruments (continued)
Trading activities
The Group maintains trading positions in a variety of financial instruments including derivatives. These derivative financial
instruments include interest rate, foreign exchange, equity and credit derivatives. Most of these positions arise as a result of activity
generated by corporate customers while the remainder represent trading decisions of the Group’s derivative and foreign exchange
traders with a view to generating incremental income.
All trading activity is conducted within risk limits approved by the Board. Systems are in place which measure risks and profitability
associated with derivative trading positions as market movements occur. Independent risk control units monitor these risks.
The risk that counterparties to derivative contracts might default on their obligations is monitored on an ongoing basis and the
level of credit risk is minimised by dealing with counterparties of good credit standing and by the use of Credit Support Annexes and
ISDA Master Netting Agreements. As the traded instruments are recognised at market value, these changes directly affect reported
income for the period. Exposure to market risk is managed in accordance with risk limits approved by the Board through buying or
selling instruments or entering into offsetting positions.
The Group undertakes trading activities in interest rate contracts with the Group being a party to interest rate swap, forward,
future, option, cap and floor contracts. The Group’s largest activity is in interest rate swaps. The two parties to an interest rate swap
agree to exchange, at agreed intervals, payment streams calculated on a specified notional principal amount. Forward rate agreements
are also used by the Group in its trading activities. Forward rate agreements settle in cash at a specified future date based on the
difference between agreed market rates applied to a notional principal amount.
Risk management activities
In addition to meeting customer needs, the Group’s principal objective in holding or issuing derivatives for purposes other than
trading is the management of interest rate and foreign exchange rate risks.
The operations of the Group are exposed to interest rate risk arising from the fact that assets and liabilities mature or reprice at
different times or in differing amounts. Derivatives are used to modify the repricing or maturity characteristics of assets and liabilities
in a cost-efficient manner. This flexibility helps the Group to achieve liquidity and risk management objectives. Similarly, foreign
exchange derivatives can be used to hedge the Group’s exposure to foreign exchange risk.
Derivative prices fluctuate in value as the underlying interest rate or foreign exchange rates change. If the derivatives are
purchased or sold as hedges of balance sheet items, the appreciation or depreciation of the derivatives will generally be offset by the
unrealised depreciation or appreciation of the hedged items.
To achieve its risk management objectives, the Group uses a combination of derivative financial instruments, particularly
interest rate swaps, cross currency interest rate swaps, forward rate agreements, futures, options and currency swaps, as well as other
contracts. The notional principal and fair value amounts, for instruments held for risk management purposes entered into by the
Group at 31 December 2011 and 2010, are presented within this note.

For AIB Group, the ineffectiveness reflected in the income statement that arose from cash flow hedges is a charge of € 3 million, all of
which relates to continuing operations (2010: a charge of € 2 million, all of which relates to continuing operations).
The pay fixed cash flow hedges are used to hedge the cash flows on variable rate liabilities, primarily floating rate notes. The
receive fixed cash flow hedges are used to hedge the cash flows on variable rate assets, primarily the variable rate loan portfolio.
The total amount recognised in other comprehensive income net of tax during the year in respect of cash flow hedges was a
charge in continuing operations of € 209 million (2010: a charge of € 41 million).

Notes to the accounts
28 Derivative financial instruments (continued)
Fair value hedges
The fair value hedges are entered into to hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of recognised assets or liabilities arising from
changes in interest rates, primarily available for sale securities and fixed rate liabilities. The fair values of financial instruments are set out
in note 57 and note 74.The net mark to market on fair value hedging derivatives, excluding accrual and risk adjustments is positive
€ 14 million (2010: positive € 106 million) and the net mark to market on the related hedged items is negative € 13 million
(2010: negative € 118 million).
Netting financial assets and financial liabilities
Derivative financial instruments are shown on the statement of financial position at their fair value, those with a positive fair value are
reported as assets and those with a negative fair value are reported as liabilities.
The Group has a number of ISDA Master Agreements (netting agreements) in place which may allow it to net the termination
values of derivative contracts upon the occurrence of an event of default with respect to its counterparties. The enforcement of
netting agreements would potentially reduce the statement of financial position carrying amount of derivative assets and liabilities by
€ 1,369 million (2010: € 1,687 million). The Group has Credit Support Annexes (“CSAs”) in place which provide collateral for
derivative contracts. At 31 December 2011, € 1,904 million (2010: € 932 million) of CSAs are included within financial assets and
€ 612 million (2010: € 542 million) of CSAs are included within financial liabilities. Additionally, the Group has agreements in place
which may allow it to net the termination values of cross currency swaps upon the occurrence of an event of default.

(1)A subordinated loan to a s subsidiary amounting to € 360 million has been reclassed to ‘Investments in Group undertakings’.
(2)Amounts due from subsidiary undertakings may include repurchase agreements.
(3)The classification of loans and receivables to banks by geographical area is based primarily on the location of the office recording the transaction.
Under reverse repurchase agreements, the Group has accepted collateral that it is permitted to sell or repledge in the absence of
default by the owner of the collateral. The fair value of collateral received amounted to € 55 million (2010: Nil). The collateral
received consisted of government securities of € 55 million (2010: Nil). The fair value of collateral sold or repledged amounted to
Nil (2010: Nil).
These transactions are conducted under terms that are usual and customary to standard reverse repurchase agreements.

The unwind of the discount on the carrying amount of impaired loans amounted to € 231 million (2010: € 156 million) and is
included in the carrying value of loans and receivables to customers. This has been credited to interest income.
In 2009, certain financial investments available for sale amounting to € 13 million were reclassified to the ‘loans and receivables to
customers’ category. The fair value of reclassified assets at 31 December 2011 was € 1 million (2010: € 9 million). As of reclassification
date, the effective interest rates on reclassified available for sale financial assets were in the range 4.79% - 6.44%; the expected gross
recoverable cash flows were € 18 million; and the fair value loss recognised in equity was € 8 million. If the reclassification had not
been made, the Group’s statement of comprehensive income for the year ended 31 December 2011 would have included fair value
gains of € 3 million (2010 gains of: € 1 million).

33 NAMA senior bonds
During 2010 and 2011, loans and receivables transferred to NAMA for which AIB received as consideration NAMA senior bonds and in
addition NAMA subordinated bonds.
The accounting policy for the NAMA senior bonds is that for loans and receivables which is set out in accounting policy 17.
These bonds carry a guarantee of the Irish Government with interest payable semi-annually each March and September at a rate
of six month Euribor. The interest reset date is the second business day prior to the start of each interest period. The bonds were
issued from 1 March 2010 and all bonds issued on or after 1 March in any year will mature on or prior to 1 March in the following
year. The bonds will therefore be issued with a maximum maturity of 364 days from the date of issue.
At the option of the issuer, all or some of the bonds may be physically settled at maturity by issuing a new bond on the same
terms as the existing bond, other than maturity which may be up to 364 days from the date of issue even if the existing bond has a
shorter maturity.

Notes to the accounts
36 Interest in Aviva Life Holdings Ireland Limited
At 31 December 2011, AIB considered that it was highly probable that its investment in Aviva Life Holdings Ireland Limited (“ALH”)
would be disposed of within twelve months following the cancellation in December 2011 of the distribution agreement between AIB
and ALH and the conditions that existed in the shareholder agreement. Accordingly, ALH is classified as held for sale and included
within ‘Disposal Groups and non-current assets held for sale’ (note 26).
An impairment loss of € 36 million on remeasurement of the disposal group to the lower of its carrying amount and its fair value
less costs to sell has been recognised in associated undertakings in the consolidated income statement.
The contribution of ALH for the years ended 31 December 2011, 2010 and 2009 is included within share of results of associated
undertakings as follows:
Share of income/(loss) of ALH
Impairment of associate
Amortisation of intangible assets
Share of loss before taxation
Taxation attributable to policyholder returns
Loss attributable to shareholders before taxation

The fair value of the investment in ALH, € 196 million, has been determined by a market related valuation of the Group’s share of the
MCEV of ALH. The MCEV is calculated by projecting future cash flows of the business to present values using a risk free yield curve
rate of 2.5%. Cash flows are projected using best estimates of demographic and economic variables; for example policyholders’ lapses
are projected based on analysis of current behaviour.

Internally generated intangible assets under construction amounted to: Group € 53 million; Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c.€ 53 million.
Internally generated software amounted to: Group € 268 million; Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c. € 257 million.

decision during 2010 to classify certain operations as discontinued operations.
The goodwill relates mainly to the acquisition of the holding in BZWBK which was reclassified to disposal groups and non-current assets
held for sale. As detailed in note 18, the sale of the Group’s entire shareholding in BZWBK completed on the 1 April 2011. The remaining
goodwill amounts which relate to unquoted investments, have been assessed for impairment through discounting projected cash flows
with the resultant impairment charge, if any, recognised in the year.

liabilities, totalled € 3,692 million (2010: € 2,384 million). The most significant tax losses arise in the Irish tax jurisdiction and their
utilisation is dependent on future taxable profits.
Temporary differences recognised in other comprehensive income consist of deferred tax on available for sale securities, cash flow
hedges and actuarial gain/loss on retirement benefit schemes. Temporary differences recognised in the income statement consist of
provision for impairment of loans and receivables, amortised income, assets leased to customers, and assets used in the course of
business.
Net deferred tax assets of € 3,692 million (2010: € 2,384 million) are expected to be recovered after more than 12 months; Allied
Irish Banks, p.l.c. € 2,738 million (2010: € 1,836 million).
For certain subsidiaries and branches, the Group has concluded that it is more likely than not that there will be insufficient profits
to support recognition of deferred tax assets. As a result, the Group has not recognised deferred tax assets in respect of unused tax
losses of € 556 million in Ireland, the United Kingdom and the United States of America (2010: € 1 million) and foreign tax credits,
for Irish tax purposes, of Nil (2010: € 5 million). Of the tax losses of € 556 million for which no deferred tax is recognised,
€ 53 million expire in 2031 and the remainder have no expiry date.
The aggregate amount of temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, branches and associates and interests in
joint ventures, for which deferred tax liabilities have not been recognised amounted to Nil (2010: Nil).
The net deferred tax asset on items recognised directly in equity amounted to € 198 million (2010: € 168 million); Allied Irish
Banks, p.l.c. € 214 million (2010: € 120 million).

(1)The provision represents the present value of the cost of the future commitments arising under the 1992 agreement in relation to the funding of
Icarom. A discount rate of 4.77% was applied in the year ended 31 December 2011 (2010: 4.95%) in discounting the cost of the future
commitments arising under this agreement. The undiscounted amount was € 11.5 million (2010: € 22.9 million). The unwinding of the discount on
the provision amounted to € 0.8 million (2010: € 0.5 million).

(1)The carrying value may differ to nominal value due to premia, discounts and note issue costs.
(2)In November 2009, the European Commission indicated that, in line with its policy on State aid and pending its assessment of the AIB Restructuring
Plan, the Group was not to make coupon payments on its tier 1 and tier 2 capital instruments unless under a binding legal obligation to do so
(note 56). As a result, no coupon payments were made on these instruments.
(3)Following on the liability management exercises in 2011 and the SLO in April 2011, the carrying values above remained outstanding. The SLO, which
was effective from 22 April 2011, changed the terms of all outstanding instruments.. The original liabilities were derecognised and new liabilities
recognised, with their initial measurement based on the fair value at the SLO effective date.
The contractual maturity date changed to 2035 as a result of the SLO, with the coupon to be payable at the option of AIB (note 7).
The loan capital of the Group and its subsidiaries is unsecured and is subordinated in right of payment to the ordinary creditors,
including depositors, of the Group and its subsidiaries.
€ 1.6bn Contingent Capital Tier 2 Notes due 2016
(a) On 26 July 2011, AIB issued €1.6 billion in nominal value of Contingent Capital Tier 2 Notes (‘CCNs’) to the Minister for
Finance of Ireland (‘the Minister’) for cash consideration of € 1.6 billion.The fair value of these notes at initial recognition was
€ 1,153 million with € 447 million being accounted for as a capital contribution from the Minister (note 50). Interest is payable
annually in arrears on the nominal value of the notes at a fixed rate of 10% per annum. The interest rate may increase up to 18% at
the behest of the Minister but with effect only from the date that the CCNs are sold to a third party external to a State entity. The
notes are due to mature on 28 July 2016.The CCNs are unsecured and subordinated obligations of AIB. They rank (a) junior to the
claims of all holders of unsubordinated obligations of AIB;
(b) pari passu with the claims of holders of all other subordinated obligations of AIB which qualify as consolidated Tier 2
capital of the Group for regulatory capital purposes or which rank, or are expressed to rank, pari passu with the CCNs; and
(c) senior to the claims of holders of all other subordinated obligations of AIB which rank junior to the CCNs including any
subordinated obligations of AIB which qualify as Tier 1 capital of the Group for regulatory purposes.
While the CCNs are outstanding, if the Core Tier 1 capital ratio (the CET Ratio after the CRD IV implementation date) falls
below the Trigger ratio of 8.25%, the CCNs are immediately and mandatorily redeemable and will convert to ordinary shares of
AIB at a conversion price of €0.01 per share.
Undated loan capital - Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c.
(b) The US$ 100 million Floating Rate Primary Capital Perpetual Notes, with interest payable quarterly, have no final maturity but
may be redeemed at par at the option of the Group, on each coupon payment date, with the prior approval of the Central Bank of
Ireland (‘the Central Bank’). These notes were purchased in full for cash in June 2011 (note 7).
(c) The € 200 million Fixed Rate Perpetual Subordinated Notes, with interest payable quarterly at a rate of 2.25% per annum above
3 month EURIBOR since 3 August 2009, have no final maturity but may be redeemed at the option of the Group, with the prior
approval of the Central Bank, on each coupon payment date on or after 3 August 2009. At 31 December 2010, € 53.8 million
remained outstanding following the redemption in June 2009 of € 146.2 million of the subordinated notes. The remaining amount
outstanding on these notes was purchased in full for cash in June 2011 (note 7).
(d) The Stg£ 400 million Perpetual Callable Step-Up Subordinated Notes with interest payable annually up to 1 September 2015
and with interest payable quarterly thereafter, have no final maturity but may be redeemed at the option of the Group, with the
prior approval of the Central Bank, on 1 September 2015 and every interest payment date thereafter. At 31 December 2010,
Stg£ 58.6 million remained outstanding following the redemption in June 2009 of Stg£ 341.4 million of the subordinated notes.
The remaining amount outstanding on these notes was purchased in full for cash in June 2011 (note 7).

45 Subordinated liabilities and other capital instruments (continued)
Undated loan capital, subsidiary undertakings - perpetual preferred securities
The Fixed Rate/Floating Rate Guaranteed Non-voting Non-cumulative Perpetual Preferred Securities (‘Preferred Securities’) were
issued through Limited Partnerships. The Preferred Securities were issued at par, have the benefit of a subordinated guarantee of Allied
Irish Banks, p.l.c. (“AIB”), have no fixed final redemption date and the holders have no rights to call for the redemption of the
Preferred Securities. The substitution of the Preferred Securities with fully paid non-cumulative preference shares issued by the
Guarantor is subject, in particular cases, to certain events and conditions that are beyond the control of both the Guarantor and the
holders of the Preferred Securities.
The distributions on the Preferred Securities are non-cumulative. The Board of Directors has the discretion not to pay a
distribution on the Preferred Securities, unless the Preferred Securities no longer qualify as regulatory capital resources of AIB, and
AIB is in compliance with its capital adequacy requirements.
In the event of the dissolution of the Limited Partnerships, holders of Preferred Securities will be entitled to receive a liquidation
preference in an amount equal to the distributions that those holders would have received in a dissolution of AIB at that time, if they
had held, instead of the Preferred Securities, non-cumulative preference shares issued directly by AIB, having the same liquidation
preference as the Preferred Securities, and ranking junior to all liabilities of AIB including subordinated liabilities.
(e) The distributions on the Stg£ 350 million Preferred Securities (“LP3”) are payable at a rate of 6.271% semi-annually until
14 June 2016 and thereafter at a rate of 1.23% per annum above 3 month LIBOR, payable quarterly.
The LP3 Preferred Securities are redeemable in whole but not in part at the option of the general partner and with the
agreement of the Central Bank (i) upon the occurrence of certain events or (ii) on or after 14 June 2016.
At 31 December 2010, Stg£ 36.7 million remained outstanding following the redemption in June 2009 of Stg£ 313 million of
the preferred securities. The remaining amount outstanding on these instruments was purchased in full for cash in June 2011
(note 7).
(f) The distributions on the € 500 million Preferred Securities (“LP2”) are payable at a rate of 5.142% per annum until 16 June 2016
and thereafter at a rate of 1.98% per annum above 3 month LIBOR, payable quarterly.
The LP2 preferred securities are redeemable in whole but not in part at the option of the general partner and with the agreement
of the Central Bank (i) upon the occurrence of certain events or (ii) on or after 16 June 2016.
At 31 December 2010, € 95 million remained outstanding following the redemption in June 2009 of € 405 million of the
preferred securities. The remaining amount outstanding on these instruments was purchased in full for cash in June 2011 (note 7).
Dated loan capital
The dated loan capital in this section issued under the European Medium Term Note Programme is subordinated in right of payment
to the ordinary creditors, including depositors, of the Group.
During 2010, the Group redeemed certain of these capital instruments and in 2011, all the outstanding amounts were either
purchased for cash or derecognised following a Subordinated Liabilities Order (“SLO”) details of which are set out below and in
note 56(b)(ii).
(g) The US$ 400 million Floating Rate Notes with interest payable quarterly, may be redeemed, in whole but not in part, on any
interest payment date falling on or after July 2010. The Group redeemed US$ 221.4 million of these notes in March 2010, leaving
US$ 178.6 million outstanding following redemption. The remaining amount outstanding on these notes was purchased in full
for cash during 2011 (note 7).
(h) The € 400 million Floating Rate Notes with interest payable quarterly, may be redeemed, in whole but not in part, on any
interest payment date falling on or after March 2010. The Group redeemed € 212.2 million of these notes in March 2010, leaving
€ 187.8 million outstanding following redemption. This outstanding amount was purchased in full for cash in 2011 (note 7).
(i) The € 500 million Callable Subordinated Step-Up Floating Rate Notes with interest payable quarterly may be redeemed in
whole but not in part on any interest payment date falling on or after 24 October 2012. The Group redeemed € 332.5 million of

(i) On 31 March 2011, following completion of the Central Bank of Ireland’s Prudential Capital Assessment Review and the Prudential
Liquidity Assessment Review, the Central Bank of Ireland announced the requirement for the Company to raise equity capital of
€ 9.1 billion in addition to the requirement of approximately € 4.2 billion deferred from February 2011, bringing the total capital
which AIB would be required to raise to € 13.3 billion.
(ii) On 1 April 2011, the company completed the sale of its stake in Bank Zachodni WBK S.A., following which on 7 April 2011,
the National Pensions Reserve Fund Commission (“NPRFC”) issued a Conversion Order to convert all of its CNV Shares (total
shares 10,489,899,564 (€ 3,357 million)) into ordinary shares. The conversion was completed on 8 April 2011.
(iii) On 13 May 2011, arising from the non-payment of dividend amounting to € 280 million on the 2009 Preference Shares, the
NPRFC became entitled to bonus shares in lieu and the Company issued 484,902,878 new ordinary shares by way of a bonus issue
to the NPRFC in part settlement of the dividend. In accordance with the Company’s Articles of Association, an amount of
€ 155 million, equal to the nominal value of the shares issued, was transferred from share premium to ordinary share capital. The
remainder of the bonus shares due to the NPRFC of 762,370,687 were issued to the NPRFC following the required approvals by
the shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting (“EGM”) on the 26 July 2011. This issue included an additional
38,118,535 shares being prescribed by the Company’s Articles of Association as a result of the 2011 annual cash dividend not
being satisfied in full on the due date. This issue of shares resulted in € 8 million (the nominal value of the shares issued was
€ 0.01 each per share) being transferred from share premium to ordinary share capital.
(iv) On 26 July 2011, following the passing of shareholder resolutions at the EGM:
-
-
-
the ordinary shares of the Company were renominalised, each ordinary share of € 0.32 was subdivided into one ordinary
share of € 0.01 each carrying the same rights and obligations as an existing ordinary share and thirty one deferred shares of
€ 0.01. The deferred shares created on the renominalisation had no voting or dividend rights and had no economic value;
the Company acquired all of the deferred shares for nil consideration and immediately cancelled them in accordance with its
Articles of Association adopted at the EGM which resulted in € 3,958 million transferring from share capital to a capital
redemption reserve fund; and
all of the authorised but unissued preference shares denominated in Euro, sterling, US dollars and yen (other than the 2009
Preference Shares),were cancelled.
(v) On 27 July 2011, the Company issued 500 billion ordinary shares of € 0.01 each to the NPRFC at a subscription price of € 0.01
per share (€ 5 billion in total) as part of the capital raising transaction agreed with the Irish Government.
2010
(i) On 13 May 2010, the Company issued 198,089,847 new ordinary shares, by way of a bonus issue, to the National
Pension Reserve Fund Commission (“NPRFC”), as agent of the Irish Government in lieu of a dividend of € 280 million which
was payable on the 2009 Non-Cumulative Preference Shares. In accordance with the Company’s Articles of Association an amount
of € 63 million equal to the nominal value of the shares issued was transferred from share premium to ordinary share capital.
(ii) On 23 December 2010, consequent upon a Direction Order under the Credit Institutions (Stabilisation) Act 2010 (‘the
Direction Order’), the Company increased its authorised share capital from € 884,200,000, US$ 500,000,000,

and 10,489,899,564 convertible non-voting shares of € 0.32 each (‘CNV shares’), which ranked pari passu with the ordinary
shares other than in respect of voting, and are convertible into ordinary shares on a one for one basis following completion of the
disposal of the Company’s 70.36% stake in Bank Zachodni WBK S.A. to Banco Santander (‘the BZWBK disposal’) (note 18);
(iii) On 23 December 2010, consequent upon the Direction Order, the Company issued 675,107,845 new ordinary shares and
10,489,899,564 CNV shares to the NPFRC. Total gross proceeds from the issue before costs of € 65.9 million amounted to
€ 3,818.4 million. Warrants with a carrying value of € 150 million relating to the 2009 recapitalisation which were held by the
NPRFC were cancelled on 23 December 2010 for € 52.5 million from the proceeds of the share issue. The difference between
the carrying value of the warrants and the consideration for cancellation was transferred as a credit of € 97.5 million to revenue
reserves.
Preference share capital
On 13 May 2009, in implementing the Government’s recapitalisation of AIB, the Company issued: (i) € 3.5 billion of core tier 1
securities in the form of non-cumulative redeemable preference shares (the ‘2009 Preference Shares’) and (ii) 294,251,819 warrants
over ordinary shares (the ‘2009 Warrants’), to the NPRFC for an aggregate subscription price of € 3.5 billion. The Government’s
national pensions reserve fund, is controlled by the NPRFC and managed by the National Treasury Management Agency (“NTMA”).
2009 Preference Shares
The 2009 Preference Shares carry a fixed non cumulative dividend at a rate of 8% per annum, payable annually in arrears at the
discretion of AIB. If a cash dividend is not paid, AIB must issue bonus ordinary shares to the holders of the 2009 Preference Shares by
capitalising its reserves. The issue of bonus shares can be deferred by AIB, but the holders of 2009 Preference Shares will acquire
voting rights at general meetings of AIB equivalent to the voting rights that would have attached to the bonus shares if they had been
issued. The dividend may not be deferred beyond the date on which AIB (a) pays a cash dividend on the 2009 Preference Shares, the
Perpetual Preferred Securities issued by LPI, or on the ordinary shares; or (b) redeems or purchases any of the 2009 Preference Shares,
the Perpetual Preferred Securities issued by LPI, or ordinary shares. Arising from this provision, AIB issued ordinary shares in lieu of
dividend due to the NPRFC on both 13 May 2010 and 13 May 2011. In accordance with the Company’s Articles of Association, an
amount of € 163 million (2010: € 63 million), equal to the nominal value of the shares issued, was transferred from the share premium
to the ordinary share capital account (see below).
The 2009 Preference Shares may be purchased or redeemed at the option of AIB, in whole or in part, from distributable profits
and/or the proceeds of an issue of shares constituting core tier 1 capital, for the first five years after the date of issue for the
subscription price of € 1.00 per share and thereafter at redemption or purchase price of 125 per cent. of the subscription price,
subject at all times to the consent of the Central Bank.
The 2009 Preference Shares give the Minister for Finance the right, while any such preference shares are outstanding, to appoint
directly 25 per cent. of the directors of AIB and has voting rights equal to 25 per cent. of all votes capable of being cast by
shareholders on a poll at a general meeting of the Company on shareholder resolutions relating to:
(i) the appointment, reappointment or removal of Directors; and (ii) a change of control of AIB or a sale of all or substantially all of its
business. In relation to item (i) above, the 25 per cent. voting rights entitlement is inclusive of the voting rights of all Government
entities in respect of any ordinary shares they may hold.
To the extent that the NPRFC holds ordinary shares, it is not restricted from exercising its voting rights in respect of such
ordinary shares at a general meeting of the Company.
The 2009 Preference Shares are freely transferable in minimum lots of 50,000 shares. However, the voting rights attaching to the
2009 Preference Shares, the right to appoint directors to the board of AIB and the veto over certain share capital-related resolutions
are not transferable, as those rights are exercisable only by a Government Preference Shareholder.
The 2009 Warrants
In conjunction with the issue of the 2009 Preference Shares, the Group issued 294,251,819 Warrants to the NPRFC.
The 2009 Warrants were cancelled on 23 December 2010 for a total consideration of € 52.5 million.

Employee share schemes and trusts
The Group sponsors a number of employee share plans whereby purchases of shares are made in the open market to satisfy commitments
under the schemes.
At 31 December 2011, 2.6 million shares (2010 1.7 million) were held by trustees with a book value of € 25.6 million
(2010: € 24.9 million), and a market value of € 0.2 million (2010: € 0.5 million). The book value is deducted from the profit and loss
account reserve while the shares continue to be held by the Group.
The Group sponsors SAYE schemes for eligible employees in the UK, the Isle of Man and Channel Islands. The trustees of the
schemes have borrowed funds from Group companies, interest free, to enable them to purchase Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c. ordinary shares
in the open market. These shares are used to satisfy commitments arising under the schemes.The cost of providing these shares is
charged to the income statement on a systematic basis over the period that the employees are expected to benefit. At 31 December
2011, 1.5 million shares (2010: 1.5 million) were held by the trustees with a book value of € 23.1 million (2010: € 22.5 million) and a
market value of € 0.2 million (2010: € 0.4 million).
In 2001, the AIB Group Employee Share Trust was established to satisfy commitments arising under the AIB Group Long-Term
Incentive Plan (“LTIP”). Funds were provided to the trustees to enable them to purchase Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c. ordinary shares in
the open market. The trustees have waived their entitlement to dividends. At 31 December 2011, 0.01 million shares
(2010: 0.01 million shares) were held by the trustees with a book value of € 0.1 million (2010: € 0.1 million) and a market value of
€ 0.002 million (2010: € 0.004 million).
At 31 December 2011, 0.2 million (2010: 0.2 million) ordinary shares were held by the trust with a cost of € 2.4 million
(2010: € 2.3 million) and a market value of Nil (2010: € 0.1 million) in relation to the Allfirst Stock Option Plans.(1)

RCIs
In February 2001, Reserve Capital Instruments (“RCIs”) of € 500 million were issued by Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c. at an issue price of
100.069%. The RCIs were perpetual securities and had no maturity date. The RCIs were redeemable, in whole but not in part, at the
option of the Group and with the agreement of the Central Bank (i) upon the occurrence of certain events, or (ii) on or after 28
February 2011, an authorised officer having reported to the Trustees within the previous six months that a solvency condition is met.
The RCIs bear interest at a rate of 7.50% per annum from (and including) 5 February 2001 to (and including) 28 February 2011
and thereafter at 3.33% per annum above three month EURIBOR, reset quarterly.
The rights and claims of the RCI holders and the coupon holders were subordinated to the claims of the senior creditors and the
senior subordinated creditors of the issuer. In the event of a winding up of the issuer, the RCI holders will rank pari passu with the
holders of the classes of preference shares (if any) from time to time issued by the issuer and in priority to all other shareholders. The
coupon on the RCI which was due to be paid on 28 February 2011 was not paid (note 56(h)).
At 31 December 2010, € 239 million remained outstanding following the redemption in June 2009 of € 258 million of the RCI
(note 7). The outstanding amount of € 239 million was purchased in full for cash in June 2011 at a discount of 90.4% to nominal
value resulting in a gain of € 216 million which was recognised in equity.
The coupon, which was due to be paid on the RCI on 28 February 2011, was not paid.
Warrants
On 23 December 2010, the Warrants held by the National Pensions Reserve Fund Commission attaching to the 2009 Preference
Shares were cancelled for a total consideration of € 52.5 million (note 46). The balance of € 97.5 million remaining in the Warrants
account, was transferred to revenue reserves.

(1)The capital contribution is higher for Group than at Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c. level due to the elimination of negative mark to market on intercompany
investments between Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c. and EBS.
The capital contributions are initially non-distributable but may become distributable as outlined in accounting policy number 29. The
transfers to revenue reserves relate to the capital contributions being deemed distributable.
In addition to the capital contributions above, AIB also received capital contributions in 2011 amounting to € 6,054 million
which are included in revenue reserves (note 52).
51 Capital redemption reserves
On 26 July 2011, the ordinary shares of Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c. were renominalised which resulted in the creation of ordinary shares
of € 0.01 each, totalling € 127 million and deferred shares of € 0.01 each, totalling € 3,958 million. The deferred shares were acquired
by AIB for Nil consideration and immediately cancelled which resulted in € 3,958 million transferring from share capital to capital
redemption reserves (note 46). These reserves are non-distributable.
52 Contributions from the Minister for Finance and the NPRFC
On 28 July 2011, the Minister for Finance (‘the Minister’) and the NPRFC agreed to contribute € 2,283 million and € 3,771 million
respectively (total € 6,054 million) as capital contributions to AIB for Nil consideration. These capital contributions constitute core
tier 1 capital for regulatory purposes and are included within ‘Revenue reserves’. Neither the Minister nor the NPRFC has an
entitlement to seek repayment of these capital contributions.

(1)On 1 April 2011, AIB disposed of its 70.36% shareholding in BZWBK (note 18).
Non-cumulative Perpetual Preferred Securities
At 31 December 2010, € 189 million remained outstanding following the redemption in June 2009 of € 801 million of the Preferred
Securities. In June 2011 the remaining outstanding amount was purchased in full for cash (note 7).
The € 1 billion Fixed Rate/Floating Rate Guaranteed Non-voting Non-cumulative Perpetual Preferred Securities (‘Preferred
Securities’) were issued through a Limited Partnership (“LPI”) at par and had the benefit of a subordinated guarantee of Allied Irish
Banks, p.l.c. (“AIB”). The Preferred Securities had no fixed final redemption date and the holders had no rights to call for the
redemption of the Preferred Securities. The Preferred Securities were redeemable in whole but not in part at the option of the general
partner and with the agreement of the Central Bank (i) upon the occurrence of certain events, or (ii) on or after 17 December 2014,
subject to the provisions of the Limited Partnership Act, 1907.
Distributions on the Preferred Securities were non-cumulative. The distributions were payable at a rate of 4.781% per annum up
to 17 December 2014 and thereafter at the rate of 1.10% per annum above 3 month EURIBOR, reset quarterly. The discretion of the
Board of Directors of AIB to resolve that a distribution should not be paid was unfettered. The coupon on the Preferred Securities
which was due to be paid on 17 December 2010 was not paid (note 56(h)).
In the event of the dissolution of the Limited Partnership, holders of Preferred Securities were entitled to receive a
liquidation preference in an amount equal to the distributions that those holders would have received in a dissolution of AIB at that
time, if they had held, instead of the Preferred Securities, non-cumulative preference shares issued directly by AIB, having the same
liquidation preference as the Preferred Securities, and ranking junior to all liabilities of AIB including subordinated liabilities.

54 Memorandum items: contingent liabilities and commitments, and contingent assets
In the normal course of business, the Group is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk to meet the financing needs
of customers.
These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk which are not reflected in the consolidated statement of
financial position. Credit risk is defined as the possibility of sustaining a loss because the other party to a financial instrument fails to
perform in accordance with the terms of the contract.
The Group’s maximum exposure to credit loss under contingent liabilities and commitments to extend credit, in the event of
non-performance by the other party where all counterclaims, collateral or security prove valueless, is represented by the contractual
amounts of those instruments.
The Group uses the same credit control and risk management policies in undertaking off-balance sheet commitments as it does
for on balance sheet lending.
The following tables give, for the Group and Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c., the nominal or contract amounts of contingent liabilities
and commitments.

Legal Proceedings
AIB Group, whilst in the course of its business is frequently involved in litigation cases. It is not, nor has been involved in, nor are
there, so far as the Company is aware, pending or threatened by or against AIB Group any legal or arbitration proceedings, including
governmental proceedings, which may have, or have had during the previous twelve months, a material effect on the financial
position or profitability of AIB Group.
Contingent liability/contingent asset - NAMA
(a) At 31 December 2011, the transfers of financial assets to NAMA were practically complete. However, NAMA has not yet
finalised the value to transfer adjustments or the final consideration payable on tranches which have already transferred.
Accordingly, AIB has made a provision for the amount of the expected outflow in respect of various adjustments. If the actual
amounts provided prove to be lower or higher than the provision, an inflow or outflow of economic benefits may result to AIB.
(b) The Group has provided NAMA with a series of indemnities relating to transferred assets. Any indemnity payment would result in
an outflow of economic benefit for the Group.
(c) On dissolution or restructuring of NAMA, the Minister may require that a report and accounts be prepared. If NAMA shows that
an aggregate loss has been incurred since its establishment which is unlikely to be made good, the Minister may impose a
surcharge on the participating institution. This will involve apportioning the loss on the participating institution, subject to certain
restrictions, on the basis of the book value of the assets acquired from that institution in relation to the total book value of assets
acquired from all participating institutions.
Participation in TARGET 2 - Ireland
Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c. (“AIB”) migrated to the TARGET 2 system during 2008. TARGET 2, being the wholesale payment
infrastructure for credit institutions across Europe, is a real time gross settlement system for large volume interbank payments in euro.
The following disclosures relate to the charges arising as a result of the migration to TARGET 2.
By Deeds of Charge made on 15 February 2008, AIB created first floating charges in favour of the Central Bank over all of AIB’s
right, title, interest and benefit, present and future, in and to:
(i) the balances then or at any time standing to the credit of Payment Module accounts held by AIB with a Eurosystem central
bank; and
(ii) each of the eligible securities included from time to time in the Eligible Securities Schedule furnished by AIB to the Central
Bank,
in each case, a ‘Charged Property’, for the purpose of securing all present and future liabilities of AIB in respect of AIB’s participation
in TARGET 2, arising from the Deeds of Charge and the Terms and Conditions for participation in TARGET 2 – Ireland (adopted
from time to time by the Central Bank), including, without limitation, liabilities to the Central Bank, the European Central Bank, or
any national central bank of a Member State that has adopted the euro.
The Deeds of Charge contain a provision whereby during the subsistence of the security, otherwise than with the prior written
consent of the Central Bank, AIB shall not:
(a) create or attempt to create or permit to arise or subsist any encumbrance on or over the Charged Property or any part thereof;
or
(b) otherwise than in the ordinary course of business, sell, transfer, lend or otherwise dispose of the Charged Property or any part
thereof or attempt or agree to do so whether by means of one or a number of transactions related or not and whether at one
time or over a period of time.
355
Notes to the accounts
55 Off-balance sheet arrangements
Under IFRS, transactions and events are accounted for and presented in accordance with their substance and economic reality and not
merely their legal form. As a result, the substance of transactions with a special purpose entity (“SPE”) forms the basis for their
treatment in the Group’s financial statements. An SPE is consolidated in the financial statements when the substance of the
relationship between the Group and the SPE indicates that the SPE is controlled by the entity and meets the criteria set out in IAS 27
Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements and SIC 12 Consolidation - Special Purposes Entities. The primary form of SPE
utilised by the Group are securitisations and employee compensation trusts.
Securitisations
The Group utilises securitisations primarily to support the following business objectives:
- as an investor, the Group has used securitisation as part of the management of its interest rate and liquidity risks through
Treasury;
- as an investor, securitisations have been utilised by the Group to invest in transactions that offered an appropriate risk-adjusted
return opportunity;
- as an originator of securitisations, to meet customer demand to offer a full range of investment opportunities by making available
opportunities to invest in AIB-managed Collateralised Debt Obligations (“CDOs”) and Collateralised Bond Obligations
(“CBOs”); and
- as an originator of securitisations to support the funding activities of the Group.
Historically, AIB has primarily been an investor in securitisations issued by other credit institutions. The most significant investment
in securitisations has been through Group Treasury’s purchases of senior tranches of predominantly AAA-rated prime Residential
Mortgage Backed Securities (“RMBS”), holdings of which have reduced over the course of 2011.This portfolio was originally
purchased as part of Group Treasury’s primary interest rate and liquidity management objective, subject to qualifying criteria, including
loan-to-value (“LTV”), seasoning, location and quality of originator. A smaller proportion of the overall portfolio is held in other asset
classes, including a portfolio of AAA-rated US student loan asset backed securities which have been considerably reduced through
sales in the course of 2011.The balance of these investments continue to benefit from US Government guarantees. All of these assets
are reported in the available for sale portfolio.
The Group also has a smaller portfolio of investments in securitisations held by the Non-Core business unit. The portfolio consists
of both cash and synthetic structures across a variety of asset classes, including CDOs, CBOs, Collateralised Mortgage Obligations
(“CMOs”) and RMBS.
On 18 February 2011, AIB Capital Markets PLC (“AIB CM”) entered into an agreement with GSO Capital Partners
International LLP (“GSO”) pursuant to which the collateral management business of AIB CM in respect of four CDO securitisation
transactions would be acquired by GSO. On 16 May 2011, AIB CM was replaced by GSO as investment manager for the four CDO
securitisation transactions. The Group no longer has equity interests in these transactions. In addition, the CBO bond portfolio was
liquidated in 2011. The assets under management of these vehicles at 31 December 2011 was Nil (2010: € 1,582 million).
During 2011, three securitisation vehicles for which AIB acted as an originator and invested in, namely Causeway Securities p.l.c.;
Clogher Securities Limited; and Wicklow Gap Limited were wound down. In addition, arising from the acquisition of EBS on 1 July
2011, AIB now controls certain special purpose vehicles which had been setup by EBS (note 73).
Stock borrowing and lending
Securities borrowed are not recognised in the financial statements, unless these are sold to third parties, at which point the obligation to
repurchase the securities is recorded as a trading liability at fair value and any subsequent gain or loss included in trading income.
Employee compensation trusts
AIB and some of its subsidiary companies use trust structures to benefit employees and to facilitate the ownership of the Group’s
equity by employees. The Group consolidates these trust structures where the risks and rewards of the underlying shares have not been
transferred to the employees. Details of these schemes are provided in note 11 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
356
56 Summary of relationship with the Irish Government
The Irish Government has taken a range of measures to stabilise the Irish banking system since the commencement of the financial
crisis in 2008. These measures have included the injection of equity and preference share capital into AIB. As a result of these capital
injections, the Irish Government, through the NPRFC, now holds 99.8% of the ordinary shares of AIB and € 3.5 billion in 2009
Preference Shares. In addition, the Minister for Finance holds € 1.6 billion of contingent capital notes.
As a result of the various measures taken by the Irish Government (specifically the guarantee schemes, the Direction Order, and
the capital injections) the Irish Government is a related party to AIB (note 64). Details regarding these measures, as well as others
taken in the context of the Irish banking crisis, are set out below.
The Minister for Finance (‘the Minister’) and/or the Central Bank of Ireland has considerable rights and powers over the
operations of AIB (and other financial institutions) arising from the various stabilisation measures.
These rights and powers relate to, inter alia:
- The acquisition of shares in other institutions;
- Maintenance of solvency ratios and compliance with any liquidity and capital ratios that the Central Bank, following consultation
with the Minister, may direct;
- The appointment of non-executive directors and board changes;
- The appointment of persons to attend meetings of various committees;
- Restructuring of executive management responsibilities, strengthening of management capacity and improvement of governance;
- Declaration and payment of dividends;
- Restrictions on various types of remuneration;
- Buy-backs or redemptions by the Group of its shares;
- The manner in which the Group extends credit to certain customer groups; and
- Conditions regulating the commercial conduct of AIB, having regard to capital ratios, market share and the Group’s balance sheet
growth.
Details of the measures taken by the Irish Government since 2008:
a) Guarantee schemes
The European Communities (Deposit Guarantee Schemes) Regulations 1995 have been in operation since 1995. These regulations
guarantee certain retail deposits up to a maximum of € 100,000. In addition, since September 2008, the Irish Government has
guaranteed relevant deposits and debt securities of AIB through the Credit Institutions (Financial Support) Scheme 2008 (‘the CIFS
scheme’) and the Credit Institutions (Eligible Liabilities Guarantee) Scheme 2009 (“ELG Scheme”).
CIFS scheme
This Scheme, which expired on 29 September 2010, gave effect to the bank guarantee announced by the Irish Government on
30 September 2008. Under the CIFS Scheme, the Minister for Finance guaranteed certain types of liabilities of certain participating
institutions, including AIB and certain of its subsidiaries, for a two-year period from 30 September 2008.
ELG Scheme
On 21 January 2010, Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c., including its international branches and subsidiaries, AIB Group (UK) p.l.c., AIB Bank
(CI) Limited and Allied Irish Banks North America Inc., became participating institutions for the purposes of the Credit Institutions
(Eligible Liabilities Guarantee) Scheme 2009 the (‘ELG Scheme’). The Minister stands as guarantor of all guaranteed liabilities of a
participating institution.
The ELG Scheme is intended to facilitate the ability of participating credit institutions in Ireland to issue certain debt securities
and take deposits with a maturity of up to five years for pre-defined periods. The original date for periods covered was set at
29 September 2010 and has subsequently been extended a number of times. The Scheme, which was due to expire on 31 December
2011, was extended to 31 December 2012 by the Irish Government on 7 December 2011, subject to EU state aid approval. This
approval has been received but will expire on 30 June 2012 as the renewal period is for six months and will require an extension from
that date.
357
Notes to the accounts
56 Summary of relationship with the Irish Government (continued)
Eligible liabilities under the ELG Scheme comprise the following:
− all deposits to the extent not covered by deposit protection schemes in Ireland or in any other jurisdiction;
− senior unsecured certificates of deposit;
− senior unsecured commercial paper;
− other senior unsecured bonds and notes; and
− other forms of senior unsecured debt which may be specified by the Minister consistent with European Union State aid rules and
the European Commission’s Banking Communication (2008/C 270/02) and subject to prior consultation with the European
Commission.
Dated subordinated debt and asset-covered securities issued after a covered institution joined the ELG Scheme are not guaranteed
under the ELG Scheme.
Participating institutions must pay a fee to the Minister in respect of each liability guaranteed under the ELG Scheme. Details of
the total charge for 2011 and 2010 are set out in note 5.
Participating institutions will also be required to indemnify the Minister for any costs and expenses of the Minister and for any
payments made by the Minister under the ELG Scheme which relate to the participating institution’s guarantee under the ELG Scheme.
The total liabilities guaranteed under the ELG Scheme amounted to € 40 billion (€ 37 billion at 31 December 2010).
(b) Credit Institutions (Stabilisation) Act 2010
The Credit Institutions (Stabilisation) Act 2010 was passed into Irish law on 21 December 2010. The Act provides the legislative basis
for the reorganisation and restructuring of the Irish banking system agreed in the joint EU/IMF Programme for Ireland (‘the
Programme’). This will allow the Minister to take the actions required to bring about a domestic retail banking system that is
proportionate to and focused on the Irish economy.
The Act provides broad powers to the Minister (in consultation with the Governor of the Central Bank of Ireland) to act on
financial stability grounds to effect the restructuring actions and recapitalisation measures envisaged in the Programme. The Act applies
to banks which have received financial support from the State, building societies and credit unions. Given the exceptional nature of
the powers contained in the Act, the powers are time-limited and scheduled to expire on 31 December 2012.
The powers provided in the Act allow the Minister to implement key aspects of the agreed Programme for bank restructuring and
include the issue of direction orders, special management orders, subordinated liabilities orders and transfer of assets and liabilities
orders. In addition, the Act gives the Minister broad powers in relation to directors and officers and their appointment/removal/duties.
Various other terms are also imposed on relevant financial institutions as a condition for financial support.
Since the enactment of this legislation, the Minister has invoked certain of his powers under the Act in relation to AIB as follows:
(i) Direction Order
On 23 December 2010, the High Court, on application from the Minister, directed AIB to increase its authorised share capital, and
adopt amended Articles of Association to give effect to the capital increase and to issue ordinary and CNV shares to the National
Pension Reserve Fund Commission (“NPRFC”) (see (c) below).
AIB was also directed by the High Court as follows:
- to cancel its listing on the Main Securities Market and to apply for listing on the Enterprise Securities Market (“ESM”) of the
Irish Stock Exchange;
- to cancel admission of its ordinary shares to the Official List maintained by the UK Financial Services Authority and to cancel
trading on the main market of the London Stock Exchange;
- to complete the sale of its Polish interests to Banco Santander (note 18).
(ii) Transfer Order
On 24 February 2011, following an application by the Minister for Finance, the High Court issued a transfer order for the immediate
transfer of certain deposits and corresponding assets from Anglo Irish Bank Corporation (‘Anglo’) to AIB. Certain employees who
dealt with the deposit taking activities in Anglo also transferred to AIB (note 23).
(iii) Subordinated Liabilities Order
On 14 April 2011, following an application by the Minister under section 29 of the Credit Institutions (Stabilisation) Act 2010, the
High Court issued a Subordinated Liabilities Order (the “SLO”) in relation to all outstanding subordinated liabilities and other capital
358
56 Summary of relationship with the Irish Government (continued)
instruments (including certain tier 1 capital instruments), with the consent of AIB. The High Court declared the SLO effective as of
22 April 2011. The effect of the SLO was to amend the terms of certain subordinated liabilities and other capital instruments as
follows:
- mandatory interest falling due on certain subordinated liabilities is to be payable by AIB in its sole discretion, and the maturity
date of the subordinated liabilities is to be extended to 2035;
-
in respect of certain subordinated liabilities, restrictions on (i) the payment of any distribution or dividend on any other junior or
parity securities of AIB; or (ii) any repurchase or redemption of such junior or parity securities have been removed; and
-
in respect of certain subordinated liabilities, (i) the requirement to pay any arrears of interest on such liabilities upon the payment
of any dividends by AIB has been removed, and (ii) the payment of any coupon on such liabilities following the payment of a
dividend by AIB is now entirely at the option of AIB. (note 45).
c) Investments in AIB
The Irish Government’s investments in AIB are as set out below:
-
In May 2009, the Group issued € 3.5 billion capital in the form of Non-cumulative preference shares (the ‘2009 Preference
Shares’) to the NPRFC. In conjunction with the Preference Share issue, the Group also issued 294,251,891 warrants to
the NPRFC. Each warrant entitled the holder to subscribe for one ordinary share of Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c.. The warrants were
cancelled on 23 December 2010 for a total consideration of € 52.5 million (note 46).
- On 13 May 2010, the Group issued 198,089,847 ordinary shares to the NPRFC in lieu of the annual dividend (amounting to
€ 280 million) on the 2009 Preference Shares pursuant to the Bonus Issue 2010 (note 46). Following this transaction, the NPRFC
held 18.61% of the ordinary share capital of AIB;
- On 23 December 2010, arising from a Direction Order issued by the High Court, the Group issued 675,107,845 ordinary shares
and 10,489,899,564 convertible non-voting (“CNV”) shares to the NPRFC. Net proceeds from this issue amounted to
€ 3.7 billion. At 31 December 2010, the NPRFC held 49.9 % of the ordinary shares of AIB;
- On 8 April 2011, the CNV shares were converted to ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis. Following this transaction, the
NPRFC held 92.8% of the ordinary shares of AIB;
- On 13 May 2011, 484,902,878 ordinary shares were issued to the NPRFC in part settlement of the annual dividend due on that
date pursuant to the Bonus Issue 2011 (note 46). The residual of this Bonus Share 2011 entitlement, amounting to 762,370,687
ordinary shares were issued to the NPRFC on 27 July 2011 following the increase, at an EGM, of the authorised ordinary share
capital of AIB;
- On 27 July 2011, AIB issued (i) 500 billion ordinary shares of € 0.01 each to the NPRFC at a subscription price of € 0.01 per
share, the ordinary share capital having been renominalised on 26 July 2011 (note 46), (ii) € 1.6 billion of contingent capital notes
at par (note 45) to the Minister for Finance. These transactions raised € 6.6 billion of capital for AIB. Following the ordinary share
issues, the NPRFC held 99.8% of the ordinary shares in AIB; and
- On 28 July 2011, the Minister for Finance and the NPRFC made capital contributions of € 2.283 billion and € 3.771 billion
respectively (total: € 6.054 billion) to AIB for nil consideration. These capital contributions constituted core tier 1 capital for
regulatory accounting purposes. Neither the Minister nor the NPRFC has an entitlement to seek repayment of these capital
contributions.
d) NAMA
In February 2010, AIB was designated a participating institution under the NAMA Act which was enacted in November 2009. Since
the enactment of the legislation, AIB has transferred financial assets to NAMA details of which are set out in notes 8 and 25. The
consideration received from NAMA has been in the form of NAMA senior bonds and subordinated NAMA bonds which are
detailed in notes 8, 33 and 34.The NAMA senior bonds are guaranteed by the Irish Government.
On 15 April 2011, the Government announced that no further loans would transfer to NAMA, apart from those above already
earmarked for transfer. At 31 December 2011, the transfers to NAMA were practically complete.
In addition to the NAMA senior bonds received as consideration for financial assets transferred to NAMA, AIB acquired NAMA
senior bonds as part of the Anglo transaction (€ 11,854 million fair value at acquisition date) and the EBS transaction (€ 301 million
carrying value at acquisition date), details of which are set out in notes 23 and 24.
AIB also acquired € 6 million in NAMA subordinated bonds as part of the EBS transaction.

Notes to the accounts
56 Summary of relationship with the Irish Government (continued)
e) Funding Support
AIB received funding from the Central Bank throughout the year through the ECB Monetary Policy Operation Sale and Repurchase
Agreements. This funding amounted to € 30.8 billion at 31 December 2011. These agreements were for maturities of between 7 days
and 3 months, with a current interest rate of 1% in all cases. The facilities mature on dates between 4 January 2012 and 29 January
2015. Other funding supports from the Central Bank, which had been in operation at 31 December 2010, were not availed of by AIB
from May 2011 onwards.
f) PCAR/PLAR
On 31 March 2011, the Central Bank of Ireland published the ‘Financial Measures Programme Report’ which detailed the outcome
of its review of the capital (PCAR) and funding requirements (PLAR) of the domestic Irish banks. The PCAR/PLAR assessments
follow the announcement of the EU-IMF Programme for Ireland in November 2010, in which the provision of an overall amount of
€ 85 billion in financial support for the sovereign was agreed in principle. Up to € 35 billion of this support is earmarked for the
banking system, € 10 billion of which was for immediate recapitalisation of the banks with the remaining € 25 billion to be provided
on a contingency basis.
Arising from the 2011 PCAR and PLAR assessments, AIB including EBS, was required to raise € 14.8 billion in total capital. This
€ 14.8 billion includes € 13.3 billion of capital for AIB, of which € 1.4 billion is contingent capital. EBS, which has since been
combined with AIB to form one of the two ‘Pillar Banks’ (see below and note 24), was required to raise € 1.5 billion in core tier 1
capital, of which € 0.2 billion could be in the form of contingent capital. In addition, the target loan to deposit ratio has been set at
122.5% for all banks including AIB, by the end of 2013.
It is expected that the next PCAR stress test will be carried out in the second half of 2012, with the results expected to be
published no later than 30 November 2012.
g) Acquisition of EBS Limited (“EBS”)
On 31 March 2011, the Minister for Finance (‘the Minister’) proposed the combination of AIB and EBS (formerly EBS Building
Society) to form one of the pillar banks. On 26 May 2011, AIB entered into an agreement with EBS, the Minister and the NTMA to
acquire EBS for a consideration of € 1 (one euro). The acquisition was effective from 1 July 2011. Details of this transaction are set
out in note 24.
h) Dividend Stopper
During 2009, the European Commission (“EC”) indicated that, in line with its policy and pending its assessment of the Group
restructuring plan, the Group should not make coupon payments on its tier 1 and tier 2 capital instruments unless under a binding
legal obligation to do so.
The Group agreed to this request by the EC and resolved that under the terms of the AIB UK 3 LP Preferred Securities that the
non-cumulative distribution on these securities which otherwise would have been paid on 14 December 2009, would not be paid.
The effect of this decision by the Group was to trigger the ‘Dividend Stopper’ provisions which precluded the Group from
making distributions on certain securities. This ‘dividend stopper’ has remained in place since 2009 but was superseded by the SLO of
14 April 2011. The SLO changed the terms of all outstanding subordinated liabilities and other capital instruments. Interest and
distributions on such instruments are now payable by AIB in its sole discretion.
i) Relationship framework
The Board has recently endorsed the parameters of a draft relationship framework, which is expected to be specified by the Minister for
Finance (‘the Minister’) in respect of the relationship between the Minister and AIB (‘the Framework’). The purpose of the Framework
is to provide the basis on which the relationship between the Minister, on behalf of the State, and the Group shall be governed.
j) Central Bank and Credit Institutions (Resolution) Act 2011
The Central Bank and Credit Institutions (Resolution) Act 2011 was signed into law on 20 October 2011 and became effective on
28 October 2011.
This legislation provides the Central Bank with additional powers to achieve an effective and efficient resolution regime for credit
institutions that are failing or likely to fail and that is effective in protecting the Exchequer and the stability of the financial system and
the economy.
360
56 Summary of relationship with the Irish Government (continued)
The Act gives the Central Bank power to take control of banks, appoint managers to run them and remove directors, staff and con-
sultants and to move their deposits and loans to other banks. It provides for the establishment of a Credit Institution Resolution Fund
which would provide a source of funding for the resolution of financial instability or in the event of an imminent serious threat to the
financial stability of an authorised credit institution. Authorised credit institutions will be obliged to contribute to the resolution fund.
The Act provides for the establishment of “Bridge-Banks” for the purpose of holding assets or liabilities which have been
transferred under a transfer order. Bridge-Banks are only intended to hold such assets or liabilities on a temporary basis pending
onward transfer as soon as possible.
The Central Bank is empowered to make special management orders in relation to an authorised credit institution, or in relation
to a subsidiary or holding company of the authorised credit institution in certain circumstances. The Act also provides powers to the
Central Bank regarding the liquidation of authorised credit institutions. Authorised credit institutions may also be directed to prepare a
recovery plan setting out actions that could be taken to facilitate the continuation or secure the business or part of the business of that
institution.
The legislation which provides for a permanent statutory regime under which the Central Bank may exercise intervention powers
when a relevant credit institution is in difficulty is expected, in due course, to replace the temporary emergency provisions of the
Credit Institutions (Stabilisation) Act 2010 outlined above which ceases to have effect on 31 December 2012 or at a later date
substituted by resolution of both Houses of the Oireachtas.

Notes to the accounts
57 Fair value of financial instruments
The term ‘financial instruments’ includes both financial assets and financial liabilities. The fair value of a financial instrument is the
amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length
transaction. The Group’s accounting policy for the determination of fair value of financial instruments is set out in accounting policy
number 16.
Readers of these financial statements are advised to use caution when using the data in the following table to evaluate the Group’s
financial position or to make comparisons with other institutions. Fair value information is not provided for items that do not meet
the definition of a financial instrument. These items include intangible assets such as the value of the branch network and the
long-term relationships with depositors, premises and equipment and shareholders’ equity. These items are material and accordingly,
the fair value information presented does not purport to represent, nor should it be construed to represent, the underlying value of
the Group as a going concern at 31 December 2011.
The valuation of financial instruments, including loans and receivables, involves the application of judgement and estimation.
Market and credit risks are key assumptions in the estimation of the fair value of loans and receivables. During the year, AIB has
continued to observe adverse changes in the credit quality of its borrowers, with increasing delinquencies and defaults across a range
of sectors. The volatility in financial markets and the illiquidity that is evident in these markets has reduced the demand for many
financial instruments and this creates a difficulty in estimating the fair value for loans to customers. AIB has estimated the fair value of
its loans to customers taking into account market risk and the changes in credit quality of its borrowers.

Notes
Financial instruments recorded at fair value in the financial statements
(a) The fair value of these financial instruments is considered equal to the carrying value. These instruments are either carried at
market value or have minimal credit losses.
(b) Financial instruments reported at fair value include trading portfolio financial assets and financial liabilities, derivative financial
instruments and financial investments available for sale. The fair value of trading and available for sale debt securities, together with
quoted equity shares are based on quoted prices or bid/offer quotations sourced from external securities dealers, where these are
available on an active market. Where securities and derivatives are traded on an exchange, the fair value is based on prices from the
exchange. The fair value of unquoted equity shares, debt securities not quoted in an active market, and over-the-counter derivative
financial instruments is calculated using valuation techniques, as described in accounting policy number 16.
362
57 Fair value of financial instruments (continued)
Financial instruments with fair value information presented separately in the notes to the financial statements
(c) Financial assets held for sale to NAMA are measured on the same basis in the statement of financial position as prior to their
classification as held for sale. However, in determining fair value at December 2010, AIB applied a discount of 60% to the gross
carrying value of loans as it was expected that future tranches would transfer at this value.
(d) The fair value of loans and receivables held for sale has been estimated based on expected sale proceeds. The fair value of financial
investments available for sale equity securities has also been included. The consideration which was received for BZWBK was
used as an approximate fair value for the disposal group which was classified as a discontinued operation in 2010. The carrying
value of BZWBK was disclosed in the table net of liabilities. The fair value of the investment in AmCredit was also included. The
fair value of certain other assets within disposal groups and non-current assets held for sale has not been included, as these are not
financial assets.
(e) The fair value of loans and receivables to banks is estimated using discounted cash flows applying either market rates, where
practicable, or rates currently offered by other financial institutions for placings with similar characteristics.
(f) The Group provides lending facilities of varying rates and maturities to corporate and personal customers. Valuation techniques
are used in estimating the fair value of loans, primarily using discounted cash flows, applying market rates where practicable.
In addition to the assumptions set about above under valuation techniques regarding cash flows and discount rates, a key
assumption for loans and receivables is that the carrying amount of variable rate loans (excluding mortgage products)
approximates to market value where there is no significant credit risk of the borrower. The fair value of variable mortgage
products including tracker mortgages is calculated by discounting expected cash flows using discount rates that reflect the interest
rate risk in the portfolio. For fixed rate loans, the fair value is calculated by discounting expected cash flows using discount rates
that reflect the interest rate risk in that portfolio. For the overall loan portfolio, an adjustment is made for credit risk which at
31 December 2011 took account of the Group’s forecast impairment provisions and losses for the period 2012-2014.
(g) The fair value of the NAMA senior bonds has been estimated using a valuation technique since there in no active market for
these bonds. The valuation technique required an increased use of management judgement which included, but was not limited
to, evaluating available market information, determining the cashflows generated by the instruments, identifying a risk free
discount rate and applying an appropriate credit spread.
(h) The fair value of the hedged asset and liability positions are included in the fair value of the relevant assets and liabilities being
hedged.
(i) The fair value of current accounts and deposit liabilities which are repayable on demand, or which re-price frequently,
approximates to their book value. The fair value of all other deposits and other borrowings is estimated using discounted cash
flows applying either market rates, where applicable, or interest rates currently offered by the Group.
(j) The estimated fair value of subordinated liabilities and other capital instruments, and debt securities in issue, is based on quoted
prices where available, or where these are unavailable, are estimated using valuation techniques using observable market data for
similar instruments.Where there is no market data for a directly comparable instrument, management judgement on an
appropriate credit spread to similar or related instruments with market data available is used within the valuation technique. This is
supported by cross referencing other similar or related instruments.
Commitments pertaining to credit-related instruments
Details of the various credit-related commitments and other off-balance sheet financial guarantees entered into by the Group are
included in note 54. Fees for these instruments may be billed in advance or in arrears on an annual, quarterly or monthly basis. In
addition, the fees charged vary on the basis of instrument type and associated credit risk. As a result, it is not considered practicable to
estimate the fair value of these instruments because each customer relationship would have to be separately evaluated.

At 31 December 2010, NAMA senior bonds were reclassified to loans and receivables. These bonds were reclassified because of the
nature of the bonds and the fact that AIB has the ability and intention to hold them to maturity.
Transfers into Level 3 occurred because the market prices for these instruments became unobservable.

58 Classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities
Financial assets and financial liabilities are measured on an ongoing basis either at fair value or at amortised cost. The accounting policy for
financial assets (number 18), describes how the classes of financial instruments are measured, and how income and expenses, including fair
value gains and losses, are recognised. The following table analyses the carrying amounts of the financial assets and liabilities by category as
defined in IAS 39 and by statement of financial position heading.

(1)Disposal groups and non-current assets held for sale have been excluded from this note. The classification and measurement for this group is set out
in Accounting policy 23.
(2)Comprises cash on hand.
59 Interest rate sensitivity
The net interest rate sensitivity of the Group at 31 December 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008 and 2007 is illustrated in the following tables.
The tables set out details of those assets and liabilities whose values are subject to change as interest rates change within each
contractual repricing time period. Details regarding assets and liabilities which are not sensitive to interest rate movements are
included within non-interest bearing or trading captions. The tables show the sensitivity of the statement of financial position at one
point in time and are not necessarily indicative of positions at other dates. In developing the classifications used in the tables it has
been necessary to make certain assumptions and approximations in assigning assets and liabilities to different repricing categories.
The fair value of derivative financial instruments is included within other assets and other liabilities as interest rate insensitive.
However, some derivative instruments are derived from interest sensitive financial instruments, and are shown separately below each
year’s table.
Continuing operations are shown within the various time periods. For 2010, assets and liabilities of ‘Disposal groups and non-
current assets held for sale’ have been shown as interest rate insensitive since the sale of a substantial element of these, (BZWBK), has
been agreed. For 2011, financial assets of “Disposal Groups and non-current assets held for sale” are shown within the various time
periods.
Non-interest bearing amounts relating to financial assets held for sale to NAMA, loans and receivables to banks and loans and
receivables to customers include provisions for impairment. Prior periods have been amended to reflect this.

62 Financial liabilities by undiscounted contractual maturity
The balances in the table below, include the undiscounted cash flows relating to principal and interest on financial liabilities and as
such will not agree directly with the balances on the consolidated statement of financial position. All derivative financial instruments
with the exception of interest rate swaps have been included in the ‘3 months or less but not repayable on demand’ category at their
mark to market value. Interest rate swaps have been analysed based on their contractual maturity undiscounted cash flows.
In the daily management of liquidity risk, the Group adjusts the contractual outflows on customer deposits to reflect inherent
stability of these deposits. Offsetting the liability outflows are cash inflows from the assets on the statement of financial position.
Additionally, the Group holds a stock of high quality liquid assets, which are held for the purpose of covering unexpected cash
outflows. The following table analyses, on an undiscounted basis, financial liabilities by remaining contractual maturity.

(1)In 2010, financial liabilities of disposal groups are not included within this table as a sale was agreed on 10 September 2010, for the most significant
element included within disposal groups and completed on 1 April 2011. For 2011, disposal groups and non-current assets held for sale are included
based on their undiscounted contractual maturity.

62 Financial liabilities by undiscounted contractual maturity (continued)
The undiscounted cash flows potentially payable under guarantees and similar contracts, included below within contingent liabilities,
are classified on the basis of the earliest date the facilities can be called. The Group is only called upon to satisfy a guarantee when the
guaranteed party fails to meet its obligations. The Group expects most guarantees it provides to expire unused.
The Group has given commitments to provide funds to customers under undrawn facilities. The undiscounted cash flows have
been classified on the basis of the earliest date that the facility can be drawn. The Group does not expect all facilities to be drawn, and
some may lapse before drawdown.
The 2010 maturity band comparatives have been amended to be consistent with the current year.

At 31 December 2011, deposit and other credit balances held by key management personnel, namely executive and non-executive
directors and senior executive officers, in office during the year amounted to € 6.6 million (2010: € 8.5 million).

connected with the Group, and do not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavourable features.
Loans to executive directors and senior executive officers are also made in the ordinary course of business, on terms available to other
employees in the Group generally, in accordance with established policy, within limits set on a case by case basis.
Details of transactions with key management personnel, and connected parties where indicated, for the years ended 31 December
2011 and 2010 are as follows:

(g) Transactions with Irish Government
In 2009, the Irish Government became a related party to AIB by virtue of (a) the CIFS Scheme; and (b) the issue by AIB of
€ 3.5 billion 2009 Preference Shares to the NPRFC.
Following the various ordinary/CNV share issues to the NPRFC during 2010 and 2011, AIB is now under the control of the
Irish Government.
AIB enters into normal banking transactions with the Irish Government and many of its controlled bodies on an arm’s length
basis. However, because of the crisis in the Irish banking sector, the involvement of the Irish Government in AIB and other Irish banks
has been significant. This involvement is outlined in note 56 and summarised below.

Capital transactions
2009 Preference Shares
At 31 December 2011 and at 31 December 2010, the NPRFC held € 3.5 billion capital in the form of Non-cumulative preference
shares. The annual cash dividend amounting to € 280 million was not paid during the year, however, the dividend entitlement was
satisfied by way of a Bonus issue of 1,247,273,565 ordinary shares (2010: 198,089,847).
Ordinary shares
The NPRFC’s ordinary share holding in AIB increased from 49.9% at 31 December 2010 to 99.8% at 31 December 2011. This
increase arose from the following transactions:
-
-
-
the conversion of outstanding 10,489,899,564 CNV shares to ordinary shares on a one for one basis;
the issue of Bonus shares in lieu of the 2009 Preference Share dividend outlined above; and
the issue of 500 billion ordinary shares to the NPRFC.
Contingent capital notes
On 27 July 2011, AIB issued € 1.6 billion of contingent capital notes at par to the Minister for Finance.
Capital contributions
On 28 July 2011, the Minister for Finance and the NPRFC made capital contributions of € 6.054 billion to AIB for no
consideration.
Guarantee schemes
The European Communities (Deposit Guarantee Schemes) Regulations 1995 have been in operation since 1995. In addition, since
September 2008, the Irish Government has guaranteed relevant deposits and debt securities of AIB through the Credit Institutions
(Financial Support) Scheme 2008 (‘the CIFS scheme’) and the Credit Institutions (Eligible Liabilities Guarantee) Scheme 2009 (“ELG
Scheme”).
The CIFS Scheme expired on 29 September 2010.
The ELG scheme, which came into effect in December 2009, provides for an unconditional and irrevocable State guarantee for
certain eligible liabilities (including deposits) of up to five years in maturity for pre-defined periods on certain terms and conditions.
The period of the scheme has been extended a number of times and is currently due to expire on 31 December 2012 subject to EU
state aid approval which expires on 30 June 2012.
Fees paid in respect of the CIFS and ELG schemes are set out in note 5.
NAMA Programme
The transfer of financial assets to NAMA has practically completed with further tranches transferring in 2011. As consideration for
these transfers AIB received NAMA senior bonds and NAMA subordinated bonds. Details of the transfers are set out in notes 8 and
25. In addition, AIB received NAMA senior bonds and NAMA subordinated bonds as part of the EBS and Anglo transactions (notes
23 and 24).
At 31 December 2011, AIB holds NAMA senior bonds with a carrying value of € 19,856 million (note 33) and NAMA
subordinated bonds with a carry value of € 132 million.
The NAMA senior bonds are accounted for in the statement of financial position as loans and receivables (note 33) and NAMA
subordinated bonds are accounted for as equity financial investments available for sale (note 34).
Investment in National Asset Management Agency Investment Ltd (“NAMAIL”)
In March 2010, a subsidiary of Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c. made an equity investment in 17 million “B” shares of the NAMAIL, a special
purpose entity established by NAMA. The total investment amounted to € 17 million, of which € 12 million was invested on behalf
of the AIB Group pension scheme with the remainder invested on behalf of clients.

Funding support
Throughout the financial crisis, the Irish Government has provided guarantees under the CIFS (expired September 2010) and ELG
schemes as outlined on the previous page. In addition, through the Central Bank of Ireland (‘the Central Bank’), the Irish
Government has provided direct funding to the Irish banking sector as follows:
- AIB has borrowings from the Central Bank as part of Eurosystem. These borrowings are under ECB Monetary Policy Operation
Sale and Repurchase Agreements and amount to € 30.8 billion (2010: € 23.4 billion). The AIB Mortgage Bank has Nil
(2010: € 1.8 billion) with the Central Bank under the same facility.
- AIB has no borrowings from the Central Bank under non-standard liquidity facilities. At 31 December 2010, collateralised
borrowings under these facilities amounted to € 5.4 billion and uncollateralised borrowings were € 6.0 billion. The
uncollateralised borrowings were guaranteed by the Minister for Finance, who in turn was indemnified by AIB for any payment
which would be made under the guarantee.
The interest rate on these facilities is set by the Central Bank and advised to AIB on each rollover date. This rate is linked to the
ECB marginal lending rate.
At 31 December 2011, the amounts outstanding totalling € 30.8 billion (2010: € 36.6 billion) are included within Deposits by
central banks and banks in the table below. See note 40 for details of collateral.
The following table outlines the balances held with Irish Government entities(1) at 31 December 2011 and 31 December 2010,

Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c. has given a guarantee to AIB International Savings Limited (formerly Anglo IOM) to reimburse certain credit
losses which may arise (at 31 December 2011, the maximum amount guaranteed was € 73 million). In turn, Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c.
expects to be reimbursed, for any payment under such guarantee, from Irish Bank Resolution Corporation (“IBRC”) subject to the
terms of/and the indemnities provided under the Transfer Support agreement between AIB and IBRC dated 23 February 2011. AIB
has served notice of claim under the Transfer Support agreement for approximately € 69 million.
(1)EBS, which was disclosed as a related party in 2010, is now consolidated within AIB Group following its acquisition on 1 July 2011 (note 24),
comparative information above for 2010 has not been adjusted to reflect this. Included in the 2010 balances above, are financial investments available
for sale of € 23 million and deposits by banks of € 43 million relating to EBS.
(2)During 2011, the assets and liabilities of Irish Nationwide Building Society (“INBS”) were transferred to Anglo Irish Bank Corporation Limited
(“Anglo”). Anglo subsequently changed its name to Irish Bank Resolution Corporation (“IBRC”). At 31 December 2010, both Anglo and INBS
were related parties of AIB.
(3)During 2011, Irish Life and Permanent Limited came under the control of the Irish Government. At 31 December 2010, the Irish Government was
deemed to have significant influence over this company.
(4)The highest balance in loans and receivables to banks amounted to € 1,885 million in respect of funds placed during the year (2010: € 450 million).
(5)During 2011, AIB incurred an impairment loss of € 132 million (2010: Nil) due to liability management exercises by Irish banks, where either cash or
equity was received in exchange for debt.
(6)Includes equity securities issued in lieu of debt of € 36 million (2010: Nil).

(h) Indemnities
On 2 February 2004, AIB Capital Markets plc, a wholly-owned subsidiary, extended the terms of an indemnity previously given to
certain former directors, officers and employees of Govett Investment Management Ltd. (“Govett”) - now “AIB Investment
Management Limited” - to Mr. Michael Buckley, the former Group Chief Executive, and Mr. Colm Doherty, the former Group
Managing Director; Mr. Buckley is a former director of a split capital trust managed by Govett, and Mr. Doherty is a former director
of Govett. The aggregate liability of AIB Capital Markets plc under the aforementioned indemnity is € 10 million.
The purpose of the indemnity is to protect the indemnified parties (or any of them) against any civil liability, loss and defence
costs which they (or any of them) may suffer by reason of any claim made against them relating to certain split capital or highly
leveraged trusts previously managed by Govett and which previously would have been covered by insurance.
Prior to July 2003, the Group’s professional indemnity and directors’ and officers’ liability insurance provided cover in respect of
the eventualities mentioned in the previous paragraph. However, on renewal of that insurance on 1 July 2003, and in line with a
general change introduced by the insurance industry, exclusions were imposed that removed that cover. By virtue of the terms of the
above mentioned indemnity, the indemnified parties now stand in the position they would have been in if those exclusions had not
been imposed, except that the aggregate limit of liability under the indemnity is € 10 million rather than the higher amount
previously provided by the insurance.
Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c. has indemnified the Directors of Allied Irish Banks Pensions Limited and AIB DC Pensions (Ireland)
Limited, the trustees of the Group’s Republic of Ireland defined benefit pension scheme and defined contribution pension scheme,
respectively, against any actions, claims or demands arising out of their actions as Directors of the trustee companies, other than by
reason of wilful default.

Following a programme of sale and leaseback transactions, the Group now holds a number of significant operating lease arrangements
in respect of branches and the headquarter locations. AIB Group leases the Bankcentre campus in Ballsbridge, Dublin 4 under three
separate lease arrangements and also has a leasehold interest in the ‘AIB International Centre’ located in Dublin’s International
Financial Services Centre (“IFSC”).
The minimum lease terms remaining on the most significant leases vary from 1 years to 19 years. The average lease length
outstanding until a break clause in the lease arrangements is approximately 11 years with the final contractual remaining terms ranging
from 5 years to 36 years.
There are no contingent rents payable and all lease payments are at market rates.
The total of future minimum sublease payments expected to be received under non-cancellable subleases at the reporting date
were € 6 million (2010: € 6 million). For Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c. this was € 2 million (2010: € 2 million).
Operating lease payments recognised as an expense for the year were € 67 million (2010: € 73 million). Sublease income
amounted to € 1 million (2010: € 2 million). For Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c. operating lease payments recognised were € 60 million
(2010: € 68 million). Sublease income for Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c. amounted to Nil (2010: € 1 million). Included in the lease
payments for Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c. is € 42 million (2010: € 48 million) paid to other Group subsidiaries. Future minimum lease
payments due to subsidiaries of Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c. amount to € 229 million excluding VAT (2010: € 280 million excluding VAT)
and are included in the total of € 474 million in 2011 (2010: € 469 million).
For details of the sale and leaseback arrangements see note 14.

66 Employees
The average number of employees by market segment for 2011 is set out below (excluding employees on career breaks, long term
absences or any other unpaid leaves). For the purposes of this analysis, Group is made up of a number of centralised functions, such as
Transformation, Transition & Group Services, Finance & Treasury, Risk and Group Internal Audit. In addition, Group also includes staff
engaged in the Non-Core segment. Staff transferred as part of the Anglo deposit business are included in the various market segments
and Group as is appropriate.
The average number of employees for 2010 and 2009 are reported on the divisional structure basis that was in place during these
years. Given the internal reorganisation in 2011, which resulted in significant resources being moved to Group, the new customer
segmentation and additional staff arising from the acquisition of the Anglo deposit business, it is not possible to directly compare the
old divisional structure average employees for 2010 and 2009 with the average employees for the market segments in 2011.
Average employee numbers for discontinued operations and EBS reflect the fact that these were an element of the Group only for
part of 2011 and are, accordingly, time apportioned.

67 Regulatory compliance
From 31 December 2010 to 24 January 2011, AIB Group and Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c. benefited from derogations from certain
regulatory capital requirements granted on a temporary basis by the Central Bank of Ireland (see also Financial Review – 4. Capital
Management).
From 19 November 2010 to 29 July 2011, the funding situation of the Group deteriorated such that it breached the rules
governing the liquidity ratios for the 0 - 8 day and 9 day - 1 month time buckets. The breach was remedied following receipt of
capital from the Government on 29 July 2011. No further breaches of Group ratios have occurred since that date.
From 2 August to 8 August 2011, EBS Limited was in breach of its liquidity ratios. This was pre-advised to the Central Bank and
was resolved following the re-allocation of intergroup funds.
During 2011, Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c. has been in breach of the 25% limit for ECB repo funding. AIB Mortgage Bank was in
breach until April 2011.These breaches were due to the difficult funding environment and the Central Bank was advised as
appropriate.
EBS Mortgage Finance (“EBS MF”) breached the 25% single counterparty large exposures limit during December 2011. The
excess was corrected in January 2012 and EBS MF is no longer in breach.

Letters of financial support
Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c. has provided letters of financial support to the Board of Directors of the following subsidiaries: AIB Mortgage
Bank; EBS Limited; AIB Group (UK) plc; and AIB Holdings (NI) Limited.
Impairment losses recognised in Group undertakings
At 31 December 2011, the carrying amount of the investments in subsidiary undertakings of the parent company, Allied Irish Banks
p.l.c., was reviewed for impairment in accordance with IAS 36, ‘Impairment of assets’. This impairment review was carried out for the
purpose of the parent’s separate financial statements where the accounting policy is to carry investments in subsidiaries at cost less
provisions for impairment.
During 2011, there was a requirement for the parent company to inject additional capital into the subsidiaries arising from further
losses which had been incurred resulting in the investment being lower than the net asset value of the subsidiaries. This necessitated an
impairment review as there were indications that impairment losses may have occurred.
In respect of each of the subsidiaries set out below, an impairment loss was calculated by comparing its carrying value to the
recoverable amount based on value-in-use calculations. Each subsidiary was determined to be a cash generating unit.
In determining value-in-use, the expected pre-tax cash flows are discounted at an appropriate risk adjusted interest rate, both of
which require the exercise of judgement. The discounted cash flows model calculates the present value of estimated future earnings
attributable to Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c. as the shareholder. The estimation of pre-tax cash flows is sensitive to the periods for which
forecasts are available and to assumptions as to long term growth rates.
The key assumptions used for determining value-in-use for each subsidiary are as follows:
AIB Mortgage Bank
The recoverable amount of the investment in AIB Mortgage Bank has been determined using cash flow projections based on financial
plans approved by management and covering a three year period up to 31 December 2014 with a terminal growth rate of 2% applied
into perpetuity. The forecast cash flows have been discounted at a rate of 12%. Based on these assumptions, the carrying value of the
investment exceeds the recoverable amount by € 994 million, resulting in the recognition of an impairment loss.
The results of this valuation are sensitive to changes in the growth and discount rates. Increasing the discount rate to 13% and
reducing the growth rate into perpetuity from 2014 to 1% would increase the impairment loss to € 1,162 million. If the discount rate
was reduced to 11% and the growth rate increased to 3% from 2014, the impairment loss would reduce to € 738 million.

Notes to the accounts

Impairment losses recognised in Group undertakings (continued)
AIB Holdings (N.I.) Limited
The net asset value of AIB Holdings (N.I.) Limited is negative following the impairment of its investment in AIB Group UK p.l.c.
Accordingly, the investment by Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c. in AIB Holdings (N.I) Limited has been written down to Nil arising from the
negative asset value in this subsidiary.
AIB UK Loan Management Limited
The carrying value of the investment in AIB UK Loan Management Limited has been written down to Nil as it is expected that the
business will be wound up by December 2013, with no residual value. This subsidiary received a capital injection of Stg£ 580 million
in December 2011 which is available to cover forecasted losses in winding up the business.
EBS Limited (“EBS”)
100% of the share capital of EBS was acquired for a consideration of € 1 on 1 July 2011. The transaction was accounted for under the
carrying value basis resulting in a capital contribution of € 742 million (notes 24 and 50). This Day 1 capital contribution was
recorded as an investment in the subsidiary in the books of Allied Irish Banks p.l.c..
An impairment review of EBS has been carried out at 31 December 2011. The recoverable amount of the investment has been
determined using cash flow projections based on financial plans approved by management and covering a three year period up to
31 December 2014 with a terminal growth rate of 2% applied into perpetuity. The forecast cash flows have been discounted at a rate
of 12%. Based on these assumptions, the carrying value of the investment has been written down to Nil.
The results of this valuation are sensitive to increases in the growth and decreases in the discount rate. If the discount rate was
reduced to 11% and the growth rate increased to 3% from 2014, the impairment loss would reduce by € 109 million.

EBS Limited (“EBS”)
EBS, which is regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland, became a wholly owned subsidiary of Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c. on 1 July
2011. Prior to becoming part of AIB Group, EBS had traded as a building society for over 75 years. In May 2010, EBS was
recapitalised by the Minister for Finance in an amount of € 875 million, and, in March 2011, the Minister announced that EBS
Building Society was to be merged with AIB Group to form one of the two ‘pillar banks’ in Ireland. Accordingly, on 1 July 2011,
EBS Building Society underwent a demutualisation pursuant to an acquisition conversion scheme under the Building Societies Act
1989 (as amended), the effect of which was that the building society became a limited company and obtained a banking licence. The
special investment shares that had been invested in EBS Building Society by the Irish Government converted into € 625 million of
ordinary shares held by the Minister for Finance, who transferred the entire issued share capital (€ 625 million ordinary shares) in
EBS to AIB on 1 July 2011. Under and in accordance with the Building Societies Act 1989 (as amended), on the conversion of EBS
Building Society to EBS Limited, the business, property, rights and liabilities of EBS Building Society vested in EBS Limited. AIB
operates EBS as a standalone, separately branded subsidiary of AIB with its own branch network. EBS will continue to operate as a
mortgage and savings business.
EBS Group had consolidated total assets of € 19 billion as at 31 December 2011, EBS has a countrywide network of 90 outlets,
comprising 14 branches, 41 tied branch agencies and 35 tied agencies in Ireland. EBS also has a direct telephone based distribution
division, EBS Direct. EBS offers residential mortgages and savings products, together with life and property insurance on an agency
basis. It had a 7 per cent. share of new mortgage lending in the overall market in 2011 and an 11 per cent. share of outstanding retail
mortgage balances. At 31 December 2011, the Tier 1 and total capital ratios for EBS were 10.51 per cent. and 11.76 per cent.,
respectively.
In December 2007, EBS established Haven Mortgages Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary focused on mortgage distribution
through the intermediary market which, prior to 2005, had not been part of its target market. Haven is authorised by the Central
Bank of Ireland as a retail credit firm under Part V of the Central Bank Act 1997 (as amended). Haven has its own board of directors
and the autonomy to grow and establish its business around the needs of its customer (the intermediary). Haven offers a full range of
prime mortgages.
In December 2008, EBS established EBS Mortgage Finance, a wholly owned subsidiary which is regulated by the Central Bank
of Ireland. EBS Mortgage Finance is a designated mortgage credit institution for the purposes of the Asset Covered Securities Act
2001 (as amended) and also holds a banking licence. Its purpose is to issue Mortgage Covered Securities for the financing of loans
secured on residential property in accordance with the Asset Covered Securities legislation. Such loans may be made directly by EBS
Mortgage Finance or may be purchased from EBS and other members of the EBS Group or third parties. On 1 December 2008,
1 June 2009, 1 May 2010 and 1 November 2011, EBS transferred to EBS Mortgage Finance certain Irish residential loans and
related security held by it and certain of its Irish residential loan business related to such loans and security. The aggregate book value
of the Irish residential loans transferred was approximately € 3.41 billion in respect of the transfer on 1 December 2008;
€ 1.74 billion in respect of the transfer on 1 June 2009; € 803 million in respect of the transfer on 1 May 2010; and € 2.49 billion in
respect of the transfer on 1 November 2011. As at 31 December 2011, the total amount of principal outstanding in the covered
assets pool, including mortgage loans and cash was € 6.78 billion (2010: € 3.9 billion).
In December 2008, EBS Mortgage Finance launched a € 6 billion Mortgage Covered Securities Programme. As at 31 December
2011, the total amount of principal outstanding in respect of the mortgage covered securities issued was € 3.6 billion
(2010: € 2.35 billion) of which € 1.05 billion was held by debt investors. The remaining € 2.55 billion was issued to EBS.

Financial liabilities by undiscounted contractual maturity - contingent liabilities and commitments
The undiscounted cash flows potentially payable under guarantees and similar contracts, included below within contingent liabilities,
are classified on the basis of the earliest date they can be called. The Company is only called upon to satisfy a guarantee when the
guaranteed party fails to meet its obligations. The Company expects most guarantees it provides to expire unused.
The Company have given commitments to provide funds to customers under undrawn facilities. The undiscounted cash flows
have been classified on the basis of the earliest date that the facility can be drawn. The Company does not expect all facilities to be
drawn, and some may lapse before drawdown.
The 2010 maturity band comparatives have been amended to be consistent with the current year.

Fair value of financial instruments
The term ‘financial instruments’ includes both financial assets and financial liabilities. The fair value of a financial instrument is the
amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length
transaction. The accounting policy for the determination of fair value of financial instruments is set out in accounting policy
number 16.
Readers of these financial statements are advised to use caution when using the data in the following table to evaluate the
Company’s financial position of Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c. or to make comparisons with other institutions. Fair value information is not
provided for items that do not meet the definition of a financial instrument. These items include intangible assets such as the value of
the branch network and the long-term relationships with depositors, premises and equipment and shareholders’ equity. These items are
material and accordingly, the fair value information presented does not purport to represent, nor should it be construed to represent,
the underlying value of the Company as a going concern at 31 December 2011.
The valuation of financial instruments, including loans and receivables, involves the application of judgement and estimation.
Market and credit risks are key assumptions in the estimation of the fair value of loans and receivables. During the year, AIB has
observed adverse changes in the credit quality of its borrowers, with increasing delinquencies and defaults across a range of sectors.
The volatility in financial markets and the illiquidity that is evident in these markets has reduced the demand for many financial
instruments and this creates a difficulty in estimating the fair value for loans to customers. AIB has estimated the fair value of its loans
to customers taking into account market risk and the changes in credit quality of its borrowers.

(1)For a description of the fair value methodologies please refer to note 57.
Commitments pertaining to credit-related instruments
Details of the various credit-related commitments and other off-balance sheet financial guarantees entered into by Allied Irish Banks,
p.l.c. are included in note 54. Fees for these instruments may be billed in advance or in arrears on an annual, quarterly or monthly
basis. In addition, the fees charged vary on the basis of instrument type and associated credit risk. As a result, it is not considered
practicable to estimate the fair value of these instruments because each customer relationship would have to be separately evaluated.

and the fact that AIB has the ability and intention to hold them to maturity.

Sensitivity of Level 3 measurements
The implementation of valuation techniques involves a considerable degree of judgement. While the Company believes its estimates of
fair value are appropriate, the use of different measurements or assumptions could lead to different fair values. The following table sets
out the impact of using reasonably possible alternative assumptions, including the impact of changing credit spread assumptions for debt
securities.

Statement of Directors’ responsibilities
in relation to the Accounts
The following statement, which should be read in conjunction with the statement of Auditors’ responsibilities set out within their
Audit Report, is made with a view to distinguishing for shareholders the respective responsibilities of the Directors and of the Auditor
in relation to the accounts.
The Directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Financial Report and the Group and Company accounts in
accordance with applicable law and regulations.
The Companies Acts require the Directors to prepare Group and Company accounts for each financial year. Under the Acts, the
Directors are required to prepare the Group accounts in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) as
adopted by the European Union (“EU”). The Directors have elected to prepare the Company accounts in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU and as applied in accordance with the Companies Acts 1963 to
2009. The Directors have also elected to prepare the Group and Company accounts in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).
The accounts are required by law and IFRSs to present fairly the financial position and performance of the Group and Company;
the Companies Acts provide in relation to such accounts that references to accounts giving a true and fair view are references to their
achieving a fair presentation.
In preparing each of the Group and Company accounts, the Directors are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
- prepare the accounts on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Group and Company will continue
in business.
The Directors consider that, in preparing the accounts which have been prepared on a going concern basis, the Company has,
following discussions with the Auditor, used appropriate accounting policies consistently applied and supported by reasonable and
prudent judgements and estimates and that all accounting standards, which, following discussions with the Auditor, they consider
applicable, have been followed (subject to any explanations and any material departures disclosed in the notes to the accounts).
The Directors are responsible for taking all reasonable steps to secure that the Company causes to be kept proper books of
account that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and enable them to ensure that its
accounts comply with the Companies Acts. They also have general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them
to safeguard the assets of the Group and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities. Under applicable law, the Directors are
also responsible for preparing a Directors’ Report and reports relating to Directors’ remuneration and corporate governance that
comply with that law and those rules.
The Directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the
Company’s website. Legislation in Ireland governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from
legislation in other jurisdictions.
The Directors, having prepared the accounts, have requested the Auditor to take whatever steps and undertake whatever
inspections they consider to be appropriate for the purpose of enabling them to give their Audit Report.
Responsibility statement in accordance with the Transparency Regulations
Each of the directors, whose names are set out on pages 201 and 202 of the Annual Report, confirms, that, to the best of their
knowledge:
- the Group and Company accounts, prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the
IASB and International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU, give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities,
financial position of the Company and of the Group as a whole and the loss of the Group as a whole for the year ended
31 December 2011; and
- the Directors’ Report and the Financial Review and Risk Management sections, contained in the Annual Financial Report
include a fair review of the development and performance of the business and the position of the Group as a whole, together
with a description of the principal risks and uncertainties faced by the Group.

Independent Auditor’s Report
Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c.
We have audited the consolidated and company financial statements of Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c. for the year ended
31 December 2011 (‘the financial statements’) which comprise the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of
comprehensive income, the consolidated and company statements of financial position, the consolidated and company statements of
cash flows, the consolidated and company statements of changes in equity and the related notes. These financial statements have been
prepared under the accounting policies set out therein.
This report is made solely to the company’s members, as a body, in accordance with section 193 of the Companies Act 1990 and
in respect of the separate opinion in relation to International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) as issued by the International
Accounting Standard Board (“IASB”), on terms that have been agreed. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to
the company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and, in respect of the separate opinion in
relation to IFRSs as issued by the IASB, those matters that we have agreed to state to them in our report, and for no other purpose.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the
Company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
Respective responsibilities of directors and auditors
The Directors’ responsibilities for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and
International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the IASB and International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the
EU are set out in the Statement of Directors’ Responsibilities on page 423.
Our responsibility is to audit the financial statements in accordance with relevant legal and regulatory requirements and
International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). We report to you our opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true
and fair view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU and, in the case of the Company
applied in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Acts 1963 to 2009, and have been properly prepared in accordance with
the Companies Acts 1963 to 2009 and Article 4 of the IAS Regulation. We also report our opinion as to whether the financial
statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the IASB.
We also report to you whether in our opinion: proper books of account have been kept by the Company; at the reporting date,
there exists a financial situation requiring the convening of an extraordinary general meeting of the Company; and the information
given in the Report of the Directors is consistent with the financial statements.
In addition, we state whether we have obtained all the information and explanations necessary for the purposes of our audit, and
whether the parent Company’s statement of financial position is in agreement with the books of account.
We also report to you if, in our opinion, any information specified by law or the Listing Rules of the Irish Stock Exchange
regarding directors’ remuneration and directors’ transactions is not disclosed and, where practicable, include such information in our
report.
We are required by law to report to you our opinion as to whether the description of the main features of the internal control
and risk management systems in relation to the process for preparing the consolidated financial statements, set out in the annual
Corporate Governance statement is consistent with the consolidated financial statements. We are not required to consider whether the
Board’s statements on internal control cover all risks and controls, or form an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s corporate
governance procedures or its risk and control procedures.
We read other information contained in the Annual Report and consider whether it is consistent with the audited financial
statements. The other information comprises the Report of the Directors, the Executive Chairman’s Statement and the Financial
Review. We consider the implications for our report if we become aware of any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies
with the financial statements. Our responsibilities do not extend to any other information.
Basis of audit opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) issued by the Auditing
Practices Board. An audit includes examination, on a test basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. It also includes an assessment of the significant estimates and judgements made by the directors in the preparation of the
financial statements, and of whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the Group’s and Company’s circumstances, consistently
applied and adequately disclosed.
We planned and performed our audit so as to obtain all the information and explanations which we considered necessary in order
to provide us with sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement,
whether caused by fraud or other irregularity or error. In forming our opinion we also evaluated the overall adequacy of the
presentation of information in the financial statements.
424
Independent Auditor’s Report (continued)
Opinion
In our opinion:
- the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as
adopted by the EU, of the state of the Group’s affairs as at 31 December 2011 and of its loss for the year then ended;
- the company financial statements give a true and fair view, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as
adopted by the EU and as applied in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Acts 1963 to 2009, of the state of the
company’s affairs as at 31 December 2011; and
- the consolidated and company financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Acts 1963 to
2009 and Article 4 of the IAS Regulation.
Separate opinion in relation to IFRSs
As explained in accounting policy 2, the Group and the Company, in addition to complying with their legal obligation to comply with
International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU, has also complied with International Financial Reporting Standards
as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). In our opinion the Group and the Company financial statements
comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the IASB.
Other Matters
We have obtained all the information and explanations which we consider necessary for the purposes of our audit. In our opinion
proper books of account have been kept by the company. The company’s statement of financial position is in agreement with the
books of account.
In our opinion the information given in the Directors’ Report and the description in the annual Corporate Governance
statement of the main features of the internal control and risk management systems in relation to the process for preparing the
consolidated financial statements is consistent with the consolidated financial statements.
The net assets of the company, as stated in the company statement of financial position, are more than half of the amount of its
called-up share capital and, in our opinion, on that basis there did not exist at 31 December 2011 a financial situation which under
Section 40 (1) of the Companies (Amendment) Act, 1983 would require the convening of an extraordinary general meeting of the
company.

Schedule to Report of the Directors
Information required to be contained in the Directors’ Annual Report by the European Communities (Takeover Bids (Directive
2004/25/EC)) Regulations 2006
As required by these Regulations, the information contained below represents the position as of 31 December 2011.
Capital Structure
The authorised share capital of the Company is €11,092,752,297 divided into 702,000,000,000 Ordinary Shares of €0.01 each
(‘Ordinary Shares’), 3,500,000,000 2009 Non-Cumulative Preference Shares of €0.01 each (‘2009 Preference Shares’) and

Ordinary Shares and 3,500,000,000 2009 Preference Shares.
For so long as the National Pensions Reserve Fund Commission (“NPRFC”) holds 2009 Preference Shares, subject to certain
exceptions, the consent of the Minster will be required for the passing of certain share capital resolutions of the Company,
being resolutions relating to: (i) an increase in the authorised share capital; (ii) a re-issue of Treasury Shares; (iii) the issue of any shares;
or (iv) the redemption, consolidation, conversion or sub-division of the share capital. The exceptions referred to above include any
issue of shares made for the purposes of redeeming or purchasing the 2009 Preference Shares.
Rights and Obligations of Each Class of Share
The Rights and Obligations of the Ordinary Shares and the 2009 Preference Shares are contained in a summary of the Memorandum
and Articles of Association on pages 430 to 436.
Percentage of Total Share Capital Represented by Each Class of Share
The Ordinary Shares represent approximately 63% of the authorised share capital and approximately 99.3% of the issued share
capital of the Company. The 2009 Preference Shares represent approximately 0.3% of the authorised share capital and approximately
0.7% of the issued share capital of the Company.
Restrictions on the Transfer of Shares
Save as set out below there are no limitations in Irish law on the holding of the Ordinary Shares and there is no requirement to
obtain the approval of the Company, or of other holders of the Ordinary Shares, for a transfer of Ordinary Shares.
(a) The Ordinary Shares are, in general, freely transferable but the Directors may decline to register a transfer of Ordinary Shares
upon notice to the transferee, within two months after the lodgement of a transfer with the Company, in the following cases:
(i) a lien held by the Company;
(ii) in the case of a purported transfer to an infant or a person lawfully declared to be incapable for the time being of dealing
with their affairs; or

-
certificate and the usual form of stock transfer duly executed by the holder of the shares.
Shares held in uncertificated form are transferable in accordance with the rules or conditions imposed by the operator of the
relevant system which enables title to the Ordinary Shares to be evidenced and transferred without a written instrument and
in accordance with the Companies Act 1990 (Uncertificated Securities) Regulations 1996.
- The rights attaching to Ordinary Shares remain with the transferor until the name of the transferee has been entered on the
Register of Members of the Company.
(b) 2009 Preference Shares are freely transferable provided that the minimum number of 2009 Preference Shares transferred to
any one person is not less than 50,000.

Additional information
Exercise of Rights of Shares in Employees’ Share Schemes
The AIB Approved Employees’ Profit Sharing Scheme 1998 and the Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c. Share Ownership Plan (UK) provide that
voting rights in respect of shares held in trust for employees who are participants in those schemes are, on a poll, to be exercised only
in accordance with any directions in writing by the employees concerned to the Trustees of the relevant scheme.
Deadlines for exercising Voting Rights
Voting rights at general meetings of the Company are exercised when the chairman puts the resolution at issue to the vote of the
meeting. A vote decided under show of hands is taken forthwith. A vote taken on a poll for the election of the Chairman or on a
question of adjournment is also taken forthwith and a poll on any other question is taken either immediately, or at such time (not
being more than thirty days from the date of the meeting at which the poll was demanded or directed) as the chairman of the
meeting directs. Where a person is appointed to vote for a shareholder as proxy, the instrument of appointment must be received by
the Company not less than forty-eight hours before the time appointed for holding the meeting or adjourned meeting at which the
appointed proxy proposes to vote, or, in the case of a poll, not less than forty-eight hours before the time appointed for taking the
poll.
Rules Concerning Amendment of the Company’s Articles of Association
As provided in the Companies Acts, the Company may, by special resolution, alter or add to its Articles of Association. A resolution is a
special resolution when it has been passed by not less than three-fourths of the votes cast by shareholders entitled to vote and voting
in person or by proxy, at a general meeting at which not less than twenty-one clear days’ notice specifying the intention to propose
the resolution as a special resolution, has been duly given. A resolution may also be proposed and passed as a special resolution at a
meeting of which less than twenty-one clear days’ notice has been given if it is so agreed by a majority in number of the members
having the right to attend and vote at any such meeting, being a majority together holding not less than ninety per cent in nominal
value of the shares giving that right.
Rules Concerning the Appointment and Replacement of Directors of the Company
- Other than in the case of a casual vacancy, Directors are appointed on a resolution of the shareholders at a general meeting,
usually the Annual General Meeting.
- No person, other than a Director retiring at a general meeting is eligible for appointment as a Director without a
recommendation by the Directors for that person’s appointment unless, not less than forty-two days before the date of the general
meeting, written notice by a shareholder, duly qualified to be present and vote at the meeting, of the intention to propose the
person for appointment and notice in writing signed by the person to be proposed of willingness to act, if so appointed, shall have
been given to the Company.
- A shareholder may not propose himself or herself for appointment as a Director.
- The Directors have power to fill a casual vacancy or to appoint an additional Director (within the maximum number of Directors
fixed by the Company in general meeting) and any Director so appointed holds office only until the conclusion of the next
Annual General Meeting following his appointment, when the Director concerned shall retire, but shall be eligible for
reappointment at that meeting.
- One third of the Directors for the time being (or if their number is not three or a multiple of three, not less than one third), are
obliged to retire from office at each Annual General Meeting on the basis of the Directors who have been longest in office since
their last appointment. While not obliged to do so, the Directors have, in recent years, adopted the practice of all (wishing to
continue in office) offering themselves for re-election at the Annual General Meeting.
- A person is disqualified from being a Director, and their office as a Director ipso facto vacated, in any of the following
circumstances:
if at any time the person has been adjudged bankrupt or has made any arrangement or composition with his or her creditors
generally;
if found to be mentally disordered in accordance with law;
if the person be prohibited or restricted by law from being a Director;
if, without prior leave of the Directors, he or she be absent from meetings of the Directors for six successive months (without an
alternate attending) and the Directors resolve that his or her office be vacated on that account;
if, unless the Directors or a court otherwise determine, he or she be convicted of an indictable offence;
except in the case of a Government Appointee, if he or she be requested, by resolution of the Directors, to resign his or her office
as Director on foot of a unanimous resolution (excluding the vote of the director concerned) passed at a specially convened
-
-
-
-
-
-
428
Rules Concerning the Appointment and Replacement of Directors of the Company (continued)
meeting at which every Director is present (or represented by an alternate) and of which not less than seven days’ written notice
of the intention to move the resolution and specifying the grounds therefore has been given to the Director;
-
except in the case of a Government Appointee, if he or she has reached an age specified by the Directors as being that at which
that person may not be appointed a Director or, being already a Director, is required to relinquish office and a Director who
-
-
reaches the specified age continues in office until the last day of the year in which he or she reaches that age; or
in the case of a Government Appointee, if removed from office by the Government Preference Shareholder pursuant to the
Articles of Association.
In addition, the office of Director is vacated, subject to any right of appointment or reappointment under the Articles, if:
-
-
-
-
not being a Director holding for a fixed term an executive office in his or her capacity as a Director, he or she resigns their
office by a written notice given to the Company; or
being the holder of an executive office other than for a fixed term, the Director ceases to hold such executive office on
retirement or otherwise; or
the Director tenders his or her resignation to the Directors and the Directors resolved to accept it; or
he or she ceases to be a Director pursuant to any provision of the Articles.
- Notwithstanding anything in the Articles of Association or in any agreement between the Company and a Director, the Company
may, by Ordinary Resolution of which extended notice has been given in accordance with the Companies Acts, remove any
-
Director before the expiry of his or her period of office.
See note 56 regarding the power of the Minister for Finance to nominate such number of non executive directors equal to either
(a) 25 per cent of the Directors when the total number of Directors is 15 or less or (b) 4 Directors where the total number of
Directors is 16, 17 or 18.
The Powers of the Directors Including in Relation to the Issuing or Buying Back by the Company of its Shares
Under the Articles of Association, the business of the Company is to be managed by the Directors who may exercise all the powers of
the Company subject to the provisions of the Companies Acts, the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company and to
any directions given by special resolution of a general meeting. The Articles of Association further provide that the Directors may
make such arrangement as may be thought fit for the management, organisation and administration of the Company’s affairs including
the appointment of such executive and administrative offices, managers and other agents as they consider appropriate and delegate to
such persons (with such powers as sub-delegation as the Directors shall deem fit) such functions, powers and duties as to the Directors
may seem requisite or expedient.
Pursuant to resolution of the shareholders, in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Acts, the Directors are
unconditionally authorised until 26 July 2016 to exercise all the powers of the Company to allot relevant securities up to the
aggregate nominal amount of € 6,892,692,445. By such authority, the Directors may make offers or agreements which would, or
might, require the allotment of such securities after 26 July 2016.
Any treasury shares for the time being held by the Company may, by decision of the Directors, be re-issued off market. Where
treasury shares are re-issued for the purposes of the AIB Approved Employees’ Profit Sharing Scheme 1998, the Allied Irish Banks,
p.l.c. Share Ownership Plan (UK), the AIB Group Share Option Scheme or the AIB Group Performance Share Plan 2005, the
minimum price at which a treasury share may be re-issued is the issue price as provided for in such a scheme. In all other
circumstances the minimum price shall be 95% of the Appropriate Price. The “Appropriate Price” is the average of the closing
quotation prices of the Ordinary Shares for the five business days immediately preceding the day on which the treasury share is
re-issued, as published in the Irish Stock Exchange Daily Official List (or any successor publication thereto or any equivalent
publication for securities admitted to trading on the Enterprise Securities Market). For any business day on which there is no dealing
on the Ordinary Shares on that Exchange, the minimum price will be the price equal to (i) the mid-point between the high and low
market guide prices and for the Ordinary Shares as published in the Irish Stock Exchange Daily Official List (or any successor
publication thereto or any equivalent publication for securities admitted to trading on the Enterprise Securities Market); or (ii) if there
is only one such market guide price so published, the price so published. The maximum price at which a treasury share may be
re-issued off-market is 120% of the Appropriate Price.
429
Additional information
Memorandum & Articles of Association
A summary of the Memorandum & Articles of Association of Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c. is set out below.
Objects and Registration Details
Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c. (“AIB”) is a public limited company that was incorporated as a limited company in 1966 and was
subsequently re-registered as a public limited company in 1985. Objects and purposes are set out in its Memorandum of Association.
The principal objects of AIB are to carry on the business of banking in all or any of its branches and departments and to undertake all
manner of financial services.
Directors
Any Director who is in any way, whether directly or indirectly, interested in a contract or arrangement with AIB must declare his/her
interest at a meeting of the Directors at which the question of entering into such contract/arrangement first arises, if his interest then
exists, or in any other case at the first meeting of the Directors after he becomes so interested. The Articles of Association also require
that a Director may not vote in respect of any such contract or arrangement or any other proposal whatsoever in which he has a
material interest. Nothing in the Articles of Association will restrict a Government Appointee from participating fully in any meeting
of the Directors or voting on any matter unless the Government Appointee has an interest in the matter which concerns him
personally (for example, the fact that he or she was appointed by the Government Shareholder, the fact that a Government Preference
Shareholder or a Government Body may have an interest in the matter or the fact that the matter relates to a matter that requires the
consent of the Government Preference Shareholder shall not be regarded as giving rise to such an interest). Interests in shares or
debentures or other securities of, or otherwise in or through, AIB are disregarded for the purpose. This prohibition on voting is
disapplied in respect of resolutions concerning the following matters (amongst others):
- where a Director is to be given security or indemnified in respect of money lent or obligations incurred by him for the
-
-
-
-
benefit of AIB or any of its subsidiaries;
the giving of security or indemnifying a third party in respect of a debt or obligation of AIB or any of its subsidiaries for which
he himself has assumed responsibility in whole or in part under a guarantee or indemnity or by the giving of security;
any proposal concerning an offer of shares, debentures or securities of or by AIB or any of its subsidiaries in which a Director is
interested as an underwriter or sub-underwriter;
regarding any proposal concerning any other company in which a Director is interested, directly or indirectly, provided that he
does not hold or is not beneficially interested in 1% or more of any class of the equity share capital of that company (or of any
third company through which his interest is derived) or of the voting rights available to members of the relevant company (any
such interest being deemed for the purposes of this Article to be a material interest in all circumstances);
any proposal concerning the adoption, modification or operation of any superannuation fund or retirement benefits plan under
which he might benefit and which has been approved by or is subject to and conditional upon approval by the Revenue
Commissioners; and
relating to any other arrangement for the benefit of employees of AIB or any of its subsidiaries under which a Director benefits or
stands to benefit in a similar manner as the employees concerned and which does not accord to any Director as such any privilege
or advantage not generally accorded to the employees to whom the arrangement relates.
The remuneration of the Directors is determined from time to time by AIB in General Meeting. Any Director while holding the
office of Chairman or Deputy Chairman is entitled to such additional remuneration as may be determined from time to time by the
Directors. Remuneration granted may be by way of fees, salary, commission, participation in profits, or all or any of such modes, or by
such other mode as AIB may from time to time consider appropriate. All remuneration fixed or granted accrues from day to day. Any
Director who serves on any Committee or devotes special attention to the business of the Company or who otherwise performs
services which in the opinion of the Directors are outside the scope of the ordinary duties of a Director may be paid such extra
remuneration by way of salary, commission, participation in profits or otherwise as the Directors may determine. A Director holding
an executive office shall receive such remuneration, whether in addition to or in substitution for his ordinary remuneration as a
Director and whether by way of salary, commission, participation in profits or otherwise or partly in one way and partly in another, as
the Directors may determine.
-
The Directors may exercise all the borrowing powers of AIB and the power to give mortgages and charges over its assets and to
issue debentures, debenture stock and other securities whether outright or as security for any debts or liabilities of AIB or any third
party.
Under the Articles, retirement of Directors, other than Government Appointees, is by rotation at each Annual General Meeting
and one-third of the Directors for the time being, or, if their number is not three or a multiple of three, then not less than one-third
shall retire from office at each Annual General Meeting.
430
Rights and Restrictions Attaching to Shares
The authorised share capital of AIB is € 11,092,752,297 divided into 702,000,000,000 Ordinary Shares, 3,500,000,000 2009
Preference Shares and 403,775,229,679 Deferred Shares. Subject to the Companies Acts and to any special rights of existing shares,
any share in the Company may be issued with such preferred, deferred or other special rights or restrictions and unless otherwise
determined by the Directors in relation to any particular preference shares prior to allotment, preference shares may be issued on the
terms and in such manner as the Company may by Special Resolution determine.

Shares.
- The right to attend and speak, in person or by proxy, at general meetings of the Company.
- The right to vote, in person or by proxy, at general meetings of the Company having, in a vote taken by show of hands, one vote,

In a winding-up of the Company, and subject to payments of amounts due to creditors and to holders of shares ranking in

from the realisation of the assets of the Company.
There is attached to the Ordinary Shares an obligation for the holder, when served with a notice from the Directors requiring the
holder to do so, to inform the Company in writing not more than 14 days after service of such notice, of the capacity in which the
shareholder holds any share of the Company and if such shareholder holds any share other than as beneficial owner to furnish in
writing, so far as it is within the shareholder’s knowledge, the name and address of the person on whose behalf the shareholder holds
such share or, if the name or address of such person is not forthcoming, such particulars as will enable or assist in the identification of
such person and the nature of the interest of such person in such share. Where the shareholder served with such notice (or any person
named or identified by a shareholder on foot of such notice), fails to furnish the Company with the information required within the
time specified, the shareholder shall not be entitled to attend meetings of the Company, nor to exercise the voting rights attached to
such share, and, if the shareholder holds 0.25% or more of the issued Ordinary Shares, the Directors will be entitled to withhold
payment of any dividend payable on such shares and the shareholder will not be entitled to transfer such shares except by sale through
a Stock Exchange to a bona fide unconnected third party. Such sanctions will cease to apply after not more than seven days from the
earlier of receipt by the Company of notice that the member has sold the shares to an unconnected third party or due compliance, to

Rights and Obligations of the Deferred Shares
The Deferred Shares have no voting or dividend rights. On a winding-up of the Company or other return of capital (other than a
redemption or purchase of shares of any class in the capital of the Company), holders of Deferred Shares have the right to receive the
nominal value of those shares only after the holders of Ordinary Shares have received payment of such amount as is paid up or
credited as paid up in respect of those Ordinary Shares plus € 10 million per share.
The Deferred Shares are not transferable, other than with the prior written consent of the Directors. The Company has, however,
the right at any time, without the consent of the holder, to instruct the Company Secretary to acquire the Deferred Shares for nil
consideration and the Company acquired and cancelled 395,759,506,824 Deferred Shares on 27 July 2011 resulting from the
renominalisation of the ordinary share capital of the Company from € 0.32 each to € 0.01 each following the passing of a Special
Resolution to this effect on 26 July 2011.
Dividend Rights
Under Irish law, and under the Articles, dividends are payable only out of income available for distribution. Holders of the shares of
the Company are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by the Company by Ordinary Resolution provided that the
dividend cannot exceed the amount recommended by the Directors.
Subject to any preferential or other special rights for the time being attached to any class of shares, the income to be distributed by
432
way of dividend are to be applied in payment of dividends upon the shares of the Company in proportion to the amounts paid up
thereon otherwise than in advance of calls.
The Company may pay such interim dividends as appear to the Directors to be justified by the income of the Company available
for distribution.
Under Article 46 the Company may by Ordinary Resolution convert any paid up shares into stock and re-convert any stock into
paid-up shares of any denomination. Any dividend which has remained unclaimed for 12 years from the date of its declaration may be
forfeited and cease to remain owing by the Company.
Voting Rights
Voting at any General Meeting is by a show of hands unless a poll is properly demanded. On a show of hands, every member who is
present in person or by proxy has one vote regardless of the number of shares held by him. On a poll, every member who is present
in person or by proxy has one vote for each share of which he is the holder. A poll may be demanded by the Chairman of the
meeting or by at least five members having the right to vote at the meeting or by a member or members representing not less than
one-tenth of the total voting rights of all the members having the right to vote at the meeting or by a member or members holding
shares in the Company conferring a right to vote at the meeting, being shares on which an aggregate sum has been paid up equal to
not less than one-tenth of the total sum paid up on all the shares conferring that right.
All business is deemed special that is transacted at an Extraordinary General Meeting. All business that is transacted at an Annual
General Meeting is also deemed special with the exception of declaring a dividend, receiving the accounts, statements of financial
position and reports of the Directors and Auditors, electing Directors in the place of those retiring, voting additional remuneration for
the Directors, appointing Auditors and fixing of the remuneration of the Auditors.
No business may be transacted at any General Meeting unless a quorum is present at the time when the meeting proceeds to
business. Ten members present in person and entitled to vote at such meeting constitutes a quorum. In the case of an Annual General
Meeting or of a meeting for the passing of a Special Resolution or the appointment of a Director, twenty-one clear days’ notice at the
least, and any other case fourteen clear days’ notice at the least, needs to be given in writing in manner provided for in the Articles to
all the members (other than those who, under the provisions of the Articles or the conditions of issue of the shares held by them, are
not entitled to receive the notice) and to the Auditors for the time being of the Company.
Variation of Class Rights
The rights, privileges, limitations or restrictions attached to the 2009 Preference Shares may be varied, altered or abrogated, either
whilst the Company is a going concern or during or in contemplation of a winding up, with the written consent of the holders of
not less than 662/3% in nominal value of such class of shares or with the sanction of a resolution passed at a class meeting of holders of
such classes of shares provided that the holders of not less than 662/3% in nominal value of such class of shares vote in favour of such
resolution.
Article 7 provides that whenever the capital of the Company is divided into different classes of shares, the special rights attached
to any class may, subject to the provisions of the Companies Acts 1963-2009 and subject as otherwise provided in the Articles be
varied or abrogated, either whilst the Company is a going concern or during or in contemplation of a winding up, with the sanction
of a Special Resolution passed at a Class Meeting of the holders of the shares of the class but not otherwise.
Convening of General Meetings
AIB must hold a General Meeting in each year as its Annual General Meeting in addition to any other meetings in that year and no
more than fifteen months may elapse between the date of one Annual General Meeting and that of the next. The Annual General
Meeting will be held at such time and place as the Directors determine. All General Meetings other than Annual General Meetings,
are called Extraordinary General Meetings. The Directors may at any time call an Extraordinary General Meeting. Extraordinary
General Meetings shall also be convened by the Directors on the requisition of members holding, at the date of the requisition, not
less than one-tenth of the paid up capital carrying the right to vote at General Meetings and in default of the Directors within twenty
one clear days, convening such a meeting to be held within two months, requisitions (or more then half of them) may but only
within three months themselves convene a meeting.
Disclosure of Share Ownership
Article 13(b) provides that the Directors may by notice in writing sent to any member require such member to inform the Company
in writing not more than 14 days after service of the notice of the capacity in which such member holds any share otherwise than as
beneficial owner to furnish in writing, so far as it is within the member’s knowledge, the name and address of the person on whose
behalf the member holds such share or, such particulars as will enable or assist in the identification of such person and the nature of
433
Additional information
the interest of such person in such shares. Failure to respond to such notice within the prescribed period time will result in the
member not being entitled to attend meetings of the Company not to exercise the voting rights attached to such share, and, if the
member holds 0.25% or more of the issued Ordinary shares of the Company, the Directors are entitled to withhold payment of any
dividend payable on such shares and the member shall not be entitled to transfer such shares except by sale through a Stock Exchange
to a bona fide unconnected third party.

The following are all the contracts (not being contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business) that have been entered into
by members of the AIB Group: (i) within two years immediately preceding the date of this documents which are, or may be, material

2. Arrangements in relation to The National Pensions Reserve Fund Commission (“NPRFC”)
(i) The Subscription Agreement
(a) Pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreement between AIB, the Minster for Finance (the ‘Minister’) and the NPRFC

subscription price of € 3.5 billion.
(b) AIB gave the NPRFC and the Minster certain warranties relating to the business and operation of the Group. These
warranties are considered standard for this type of agreement and cover issues such as the Company’s issued share capital,
accuracy and completeness of certain information, accuracy of audited financial statements, payment of taxes, possession of all
material licences and absence of material litigation.
(c) AIB provided various undertakings to the NPRFC and the Minster, including agreeing to commit to the Minster’s ‘Bank
Customer Package’. This includes, inter alia, obligations on AIB to:
A. increase lending capacity to small to medium-sized enterprises by 10 per cent. and provide an additional 30 per cent
capacity for lending to first-time buyers during each quarter of the financial year compared to the corresponding quarter
into each year commencing 1 January 2008;
B. establish a € 100 million fund to support environmentally friendly investment and innovations in clean energy;
C. comply with the Code of Conduct for Business Lending to Small and Medium Enterprises and the Code of Conduct
for Mortgage Arrears published by the Central Bank;
D. makes every effort to avoid repossessions and, in any case, not commence court proceedings for the repossession of a
principal private residence within 12 months of arrears appearing, where the customer maintains contact and co-operates
reasonably with AIB;
E.fund and co-operate with an ‘Independent Review of Credit Availability’; and
F. work closely with the IDA Ireland, Enterprise Ireland and with other Irish state agencies to ensure the supply of
appropriate finance to contractors engaged on major projects sponsored by those agencies.
AIB also agreed to submit a restructuring plan to the Minster, including an assessment of AIB’s business model’s viability
and details of how AIB intends to repay the State aid provided. This restructuring plan, which was prepared by the
Group, has now been submitted to the European Commission by the Government. In addition, AIB agreed to accept
restrictions on the amount of remuneration Directors would receive.
AIB also agreed that, on request from the NPRFC, it would undertake all necessary acts in order to facilitate the
placing, offering to the public or admission to listing of the 2009 Preference Shares or any Ordinary Shares acquired as a
result of the 2009 Warrants or the 2009 Preference Shares.
Under the terms of the Subscription Agreement, AIB must consult with the Minister or his nominee prior to taking any
material action which may be reasonable expected to have a public interest dimension.
(d) On 13 May 2009, the NPRFC paid to AIB € 3.5 billion (less an arrangement fee of € 30 million paid by AIB to the
(e)
NPRFC) in respect of the issue to it of the 2009 Preference Shares and the 2009 Warrants.
AIB undertook in the Subscription Agreement that application would be made in due course for the Warrant Shares and
any Bonus Shares to be admitted to trading on a regulated market.
434
(f)
In addition to agreeing to allow the Government Entities to make use of any public offer prospectus issued by the
Company for the purposes of placing such Ordinary Shares with investors, the Company also undertook to co-operate in
the preparation and issue of a public offer prospectus where this is required for the purposes of an offering to the public, a
placing or listing of the 2009 Preference Shares or any Ordinary Shares acquired as a result of holding 2009 Preference
Shares or 2009 Warrants
(ii) 2010 Placing Agreement

aggregate subscription price of € 3,818,438,297.
(b) To the extent that the NPRFC subscription for these shares would result in it holding more than 49.9% of the Ordinary Shares in
issue, CNV Shares were to be allotted to the NPRFC so that, following such allotment, the NPRFC did not acquire more than
49.9% of the Ordinary Shares then in issue. In April 2011, AIB converted into ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis the
10,489,899,564 CNV Shares issued to the NPRFC in connection with the 2010 Placing Agreement, following completion of the
disposal of AIB’s interests in BZWBK.
(c) The obligations of the Minister, the NPRFC and the NTMA were conditional on AIB having complied, and continuing to
comply, with letters from the Minister dated 13 and 22 December 2010, stating that the provision of further state funding to AIB
was conditional on the Board’s decision not to pay any bonuses to staff no matter when they may have been earned, since AIB
could not be in a position to pay without state support, past, present and future save that nothing in the Agreement was to prevent
AIB meeting its obligations on foot of a Court Order.
(d) The cancellation of the 294,251,819 warrants over new Ordinary Shares held by the NPRFC in return for the payment to it by
AIB of approximately € 52 million;
(e) AIB gave the Minister, the NPRFC and the NTMA certain warranties relating to the business and operation of the Group. These
warranties are considered standard for this kind of agreement and cover issues such as the Company’s issued share capital, accuracy
and completeness of certain information, accuracy of audited financial statements, payment of taxes, possession of all material
licenses, absence of material litigation and absence of breach of material change of control provisions.
(f) AIB entered into various covenants with the Minister, the NPRFC, the NTMA, the National Asset Management Agency or any
other state entity to use all reasonable efforts to comply, and procure compliance by the Group, with various commitments
including:
A. Meeting a lending target of € 3 billion per annum for new or increased credit facilities to SMEs in each of the two twelve
B.
month periods commencing on 1 January 2011 and 2012.
Providing € 20 million for seed capital to Enterprise Ireland supported ventures and € 100 million for environmental, clean
energy and innovation projects (in addition to the commitments under the Subscription Agreement).
C. Working with Enterprise Ireland and the Irish Bankers Federation to develop sectoral expertise in the modern growth
sectors of the economy, and with Enterprise Ireland to develop a range of banking services to meet the needs of Irish SMEs
trading internationally.
Taking actions, agreed with the Minister, to develop new credit products in areas where cash flow, rather than property or
assets, is the basis for business lending.
D.
(g) AIB also agreed to co-operate fully with the Minster and the European Commission in connection with the Commission’s
assessment of the Group’s restructuring plan under EU State aid rules and to implement fully the final restructuring plan when
approved by the NTMA and the Commission.
(h) AIB repeated and extended undertakings in the Subscription Agreement relating to matters concerning the remuneration of its
directors, senior executives and employees.
(i) AIB undertook various obligations in respect of the CNV Shares, relating to the issue of securities, the modification of rights
attaching to securities and the transferability of the CNV Shares.
(iii) EBS Acquisition Agreement
Pursuant to the terms of an Acquisition Agreement between the Minister, the NTMA, EBS Building Society and AIB, dated 26 May
2011, AIB agreed to acquire the entire issued share capital of EBS. The EBS merger completed on 1 July 2011 (following its
conversion into a private company and receipt of all requisite regulatory approvals) and was effected pursuant to an acquisition
conversion scheme mechanism under Part XI of the Building Societies Act 1989 (as amended) whereby EBS was first demutualised
by conversion from a building society into a private limited company, called EBS Limited, the entire issued share capital of which was
held by the Minister prior to the acquisition of that share capital by AIB. As AIB and EBS respectively are substantially owned by the
State, the consideration payable by AIB for the EBS Merger was a nominal cash payment of € 1.00.
435
Additional information
(iv) 2011 Placing Agreement, Capital Contribution and Minister’s Letter
(a) Pursuant to the terms of the Placing Agreement between the Minister, the NPRFC, the NTMA and AIB, dated 1 July 2011, AIB
agreed to issue 500,000,000,000 new Ordinary Shares to the NPRFC at an aggregate subscription price of € 5 billion. On 28 July
2011, the Minister and the NPRFC agreed to make capital contributions of € 2,283,146,860 and € 3,770,970,659 respectively to
AIB for no consideration and AIB is not legally obliged to repay the capital contributions. The capital contributions were made in
order to enable AIB to meet its regulatory capital requirements.
(b) The Company agreed to give certain covenants and undertakings to the Minister, the NTMA and the NPRFC, including in
relation to its reserves, dividends, disclosure of information, matters of public interest, use of proceeds and future material
transactions, together with additional covenants and undertakings in relation to the availability of credit, the Group’s restructuring
plan, corporate governance and remuneration. In addition, the Company gave certain representations and warranties and
indemnities to the Minister, the NTMA and the NPRFC and the liability of the Company in respect of any breach of those
representations, warranties and indemnities is unlimited as to time and amount.
(c) The continued provision of State funding and support to AIB is dependent on enforcement by AIB of a wide restriction on
payment of employment bonuses by the Group, details of which are contained in a letter from the Minister to AIB dated 25 July
2011. The Minister’s Letter contains undertakings in relation to measures to promote the availability of credit, AIB’s restructuring
plan, related party transactions, corporate governance and remuneration and fees payable to directors, senior executives, employees
and service providers of AIB.
(v) Contingent Capital Note Purchase Agreement
(a) Pursuant to the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement between the Minister and AIB, dated 26 July 2011, AIB agreed to issue
€ 1.6 billion of contingent tier 2 capital notes to the Minister, issued at par with a five year and one day maturity, with an
aggregated principal amount of € 1.6 billion.
(b) The Contingent Capital Notes will convert mandatorily in their entirety into Ordinary Shares in the event that the core tier 1
capital ratio of AIB falls below 8.25% or (following implementation of the Capital Requirements Directive IV in Ireland), AIB’s
common equity tier 1 ratio falls below 8.25% or, if the Central Bank, in its sole discretion, notifies AIB that it has determined that
the Group’s financial and solvency condition is deteriorating in such a way that a fall below the ratios described above is likely to
occur in the short term and AIB is incapable of restoring the Group’s capital ratio to a level above 8.25% during the following 90
days. The Contingent Capital Notes will also convert immediately and mandatorily into Ordinary Shares in the event that a non-
viability event occurs (including in the event of the Group becoming insolvent, bankrupt, unable to pay its debts as they fall due,
ceases to carry on its business or fails to meet minimum capital adequacy requirements).
(c) Following a conversion event, the Contingent Capital Notes will be immediately converted into a fixed number of Ordinary
Shares that is determined by dividing the principal amount of each Contingent Capital Note by the conversion price of € 0.01 per
Ordinary Share. The Contingent Capital Notes also include certain anti-dilution adjustments.
(d) The Contingent Capital Notes carry a fixed annual mandatory interest rate of 10% of the principal amount. The Minister may,
where it remains the holder of 100 per cent. of the Contingent Capital Notes, in order to facilitate the sale of the Contingent
Capital Notes to third party investors, at any time (but becoming effective only from the date of such sale being completed and
settled) increase the interest rate to a new level determined by an independent remarketing agent nominated by the Minister, but
not exceeding 18 per cent. per annum. In addition, AIB will provide, at the request of the Minister, sufficient disclosure to allow
for the Contingent Capital Notes to be listed and to be sold to third party investors. AIB will have the option, prior to any such
sale of the Contingent Capital Notes being completed and settled, to source third party investors at a potentially lower interest
rate, but only if it has sourced sufficient investors to purchase an amount equal to the principal amount paid by the Minister for
the Contingent Capital Notes on overall better terms. The Minister will have discretion as to whether or not to sell to any such
investors. Admission of the Contingent Capital Notes to the Official List of the Irish Stock Exchange and to trading on its Global
Exchange Market, an exchange-regulated market, occurred on 27 October 2011.
(e) The Contingent Capital Notes constitute direct, unsecured and subordinated obligations of the Group and rank junior to
unsubordinated obligations of the Group and pari passu without any preference among themselves and equally with all other dated
subordinated obligations of the Group which rank or are expressed to rank equally with the Contingent Capital Notes (if any).
The Contingent Capital Notes rank senior to other obligations of the Group that are expressed to rank junior to the Contingent
Capital Notes.

(‘Irish Main Market Delisting’) and to apply for admission to trading on the ESM of the ISE.
The High Court also directed AIB to apply to cancel the admission of its ordinary shares to the Official List maintained by the
UK Financial Services Authority and to cancel trading on the main market of the London Stock Exchange (‘UK Delisting’).
AIB traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) in the form of American Depositary Shares (“ADS”). Each ADS, which
comprises 10 ordinary shares, traded under the symbol “AIB” and was evidenced by an American Depositary Receipt (“ADR”). On

(1)On 26 July 2011, the nominal value of each ordinary share was reduced from € 0.32 to € 0.01 per share.
(2)An American Depositary Share (“ADS”) represented two ordinary shares up to 22 February 2011. On 23 February 2011, AIB changed the ratio whereby
one ADS represents ten ordinary shares.
Bonus Issue
The Company was obliged, under its Articles of Association, to issue Ordinary Shares by way of bonus issue to the NPRFC as a
consequence of not paying the annual cash dividend payable on the 2009 Preference Shares in May 2011 (the ‘Bonus Issue 2011’). On
13 May 2011, the Company had insufficient authorised but unissued share capital and insufficient authority remaining under section
20 of the Companies (Amendment) Act 1983 to allot the Bonus Issue 2011 in full. Accordingly, 484,902,878 new Ordinary Shares
were issued to the NPRFC on 13 May 2011 in part satisfaction of the Bonus Issue 2011. Following the receipt of shareholder
approval on 26 July 2011, the remainder of the Bonus Issue 2011, being 762,370,687 new Ordinary Shares, were issued to the
NPRFC. The 2011 Bonus Issue included an increment of 38,118,535 new Ordinary Shares prescribed by AIB’s Articles of Association
as a result of the 2011 annual cash dividend not being satisfied in full on the due date.
438
American Depositary Receipts
The Company’s listing of the ordinary shares, in the form of American Depositary Shares (“ADS”) was obtained on the New York
Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) effective 28 November 1990. Each ADS, which comprised two ordinary shares, traded under the symbol
“AIB” and is evidenced by an American Depositary Receipt (“ADR”). The ADR depositary is The Bank of New York Mellon (‘the
Depositary’). On 7 February 2011 AIB announced its intention to change the ratio of one ADS representing two ordinary shares to
one ADS representing ten ordinary shares. The effective date of this change was 23 February 2011.
On 4 August 2011, AIB announced that its Board of Directors has resolved to delist its ADS, each representing ten ordinary shares,
par value €0.01 per share, from the NYSE, terminate the deposit agreement governing the ADSs (‘the Deposit Agreement’) with the
Depositary and, in due course, terminate the registration of AIB’s securities with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (‘the
SEC’) under the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (‘the Exchange Act’), in each case after the completion of the required legal
steps.
The Board of Directors made the decision in light of the increase in the Irish Government’s shareholding (through the National
Pension Reserve Fund Commission) to 99.8% on 27 July 2011, and the savings in costs and administrative efforts that would result
from the delisting and any subsequent deregistration under the Exchange Act.
AIB filed the related Form 25 with the SEC on 15 August 2011. The delisting became effective at the close of business on 25
August 2011, from which time AIB’s ADSs were no longer traded on the NYSE. On 10 October 2011, AIB terminated the ADS
facility by terminating the ADS deposit agreement between AIB and the Depositary.
In due course, AIB also intends to deregister its securities and terminate its obligations under the Exchange Act by filing a Form
15F. AIB’s aim is to meet the applicable criteria for deregistration of its securities.
AIB has not arranged for listing and/or registration on another US national securities exchange or for quotation of its securities in
a US quotation medium, but expects that its ordinary shares will continue to trade on the Enterprise Securities Market of the Irish
Stock Exchange. Information required to be made available pursuant to Rule 12g3-2(b) under the Exchange Act is available on AIB’s
website at www.aibgroup.com.
Fees
The depositary collects its fees for delivery and surrender of ADSs directly from investors depositing shares or surrendering ADSs for
the purpose of withdrawal or from intermediaries acting for them. The depositary collects fees for making distributions to investors by
deducting those fees from the amounts distributed or by selling a portion of distributable property to pay the fees. The depositary may
collect its annual fee for depositary services by deductions from cash distributions or by directly billing investors or by charging the
book-entry system accounts of participants acting for them. The depositary may generally refuse to provide fee-attracting services until
its fees for those services are paid.
Persons depositing or withdrawing shares must pay:
$5.00 (or less) per 100 ADSs (or portion of 100 ADSs)
For:
• Issuance of ADSs, including issuances resulting from a
distribution of shares or rights or other property
• Cancellation of ADSs for the purpose of withdrawal,
including if the deposit agreement terminates
$.02 (or less) per ADS
• Any cash distribution to ADS registered holders

deposited securities which are distributed by the
depositary to ADS registered holders
$.02 (or less) per ADSs per calendar year
• Depositary services

Taxation
This is a summary of the principal tax consequences for Irish resident individual holders and Eligible United States (“US”) Holders, as
defined below, of AIB Ordinary Shares or American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) representing such Ordinary Shares, held as capital
assets. It also covers Irish Dividend Withholding Tax (“DWT”) in general. It is not a comprehensive analysis of all potential tax
consequences and does not cover all categories of investors. Investors are advised to consult their own tax advisors in relation to the
tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposal of AIB Ordinary Shares or ADSs, including any foreign, state or local tax
law.
Underlying this summary is the Double Taxation Convention between Ireland and the US (‘the Tax Treaty’) and the tax laws,
judicial decisions, regulations and administrative rulings and practices of Ireland and the US currently in effect, which are subject to
change at any time.
Irish Dividend Withholding Tax (“DWT”) - General
In general, DWT is deducted from dividends paid by Irish resident companies at the standard rate of income tax (currently 20%).
Certain classes of shareholders are exempt from DWT provided they return a properly completed declaration (certified as
required) to AIB’s Registrar, prior to the relevant dividend payment record date.
Potentially-exempt shareholders include Irish resident companies, pension schemes, charities and certain non-resident persons. For
a full exemption listing see the Irish Revenue website http://www.revenue.ie/en/tax/dwt/exemptions.html
Declaration forms to claim exemption may be obtained either from AIB’s Registrar at:
Computershare Investor Services (Ireland) Ltd, Heron House, Corrig Road, Sandyford Industrial Estate, Dublin 18, Ireland.

Taxation of Irish Resident Individual Shareholders:
Taxation of Dividends
(i) Irish Income Tax and Dividend Withholding Tax Credit
Shareholders who are individuals are liable to Irish income tax at their marginal rate on the amount of the dividend before
deduction of DWT, and the DWT is available either for offset against the income tax liability, or for repayment, where it exceeds
the total income tax liability. Such shareholders will normally also be liable to PRSI contribution (if regarded as ‘self-employed’)
and to the Universal Social Charge (from 1 January 2011 onwards), the latter of which replaced the Health Contribution and the
Income Levy.
(ii) Back-up Withholding Tax
An Irish resident holder of ADSs is subject to US withholding tax at the rate of 15% with respect to dividends paid on ADSs or
the proceeds of sale of ADSs. Unless the holder has provided to the withholding agent the applicable completed Form W-8
(‘Certificate of Foreign Status’) the dividends or the proceeds of sale of the ADSs may be subject to US back-up withholding tax
which will increase the total withholding tax to 28%.
Irish Capital Gains Tax
When shares are disposed of a capital gain may result if the sales proceeds less selling costs are greater than the base cost of the shares
sold and allowable deductions. Capital gains tax is charged at 30% on chargeable gains arising on disposals on or after 7 December
2011 (previously 25%).
Stamp Duty
The Irish stamp duty implications of transactions in shares or ADSs are the same as for Eligible US Holders. See ‘Irish Stamp Duty’ in
the ‘Taxation of Eligible US Holders’ section.
441
Additional information
Taxation of a gift or an inheritance
Capital acquisitions tax (“CAT”), comprising gift tax and inheritance tax, is charged in Ireland where the value of the aggregate
taxable gifts and inheritances received by an individual on or after 5 December 1991 exceeds the tax free threshold applicable. The tax
free threshold applicable is determined by the relationship between the parties. From 7 December 2011, amounts in excess of the
threshold are taxed at 30% (previously 25%).
Taxation of Eligible US Holders:
An ‘Eligible US Holder’, for the purpose of this discussion, is a beneficial owner of ordinary shares or ADSs who is (a) a resident of
the United States for the purposes of US federal income tax, (b) not a resident of Ireland for the purposes of Irish taxes and (c) not
engaged in trade or business in Ireland through a permanent establishment, and (d) otherwise eligible for benefits under the TaxTreaty.
Eligible US Holders of ADSs are treated as the owners, as appropriate, of the underlying ordinary shares for US federal income tax
purposes and for the purposes of the Tax Treaty.
Irish Tax
(i) Irish Income Tax
An Eligible US Holder is not liable to Irish income tax on dividends paid by AIB where the recipient is:
- a person, other than a company, who is not ordinarily resident in Ireland in a year of assessment; or
- a company that is not under the control (direct or indirect) of a person or persons who are Irish resident.
- a company, the shares of which (or of its 75% parent or of a collection of companies which own 100% of that company) are
substantially and regularly traded on a recognised stock exchange.
(ii) Irish Dividend Withholding Tax and Related Tax Treaty Provisions
Generally an exemption from Irish DWT is available where the Eligible US Holder provides AIB’s Registrar with the relevant
declaration, certified as required and, in the case of an individual, is not ordinarily resident in Ireland.
For further detail in relation to claims for exemption, see above under Irish Dividend Withholding Tax (“DWT”) – General.
Eligible US Holders who have DWT deducted from their dividend may, subject to certain conditions, be entitled to a refund
by making an application to the Irish Revenue Commissioners at the address shown above.Where entitlement to repayment under
Irish domestic law cannot be established, the provisions of the Tax Treaty may apply.The provisions of the Tax Treaty can limit the
Irish tax liability of an Eligible US Holder, who is unable to claim repayment of the full DWT deducted from the dividend, to
15% of the aggregate of the cash dividend and related DWT (the ‘gross amount’). In such circumstances, the Eligible US Holder
may claim repayment from the Irish Revenue Commissioners under the provisions of the Tax Treaty of the amount of DWT in
excess of 15% of the gross amount of the dividend.
(iii) Gains on Sale, Exchange or Other Disposal
A gain realised on the sale, exchange or other disposal of the AIB ordinary shares or ADSs by an Eligible US Holder who is
not ordinarily resident in Ireland for Irish tax purposes is not subject to Irish capital gains tax.
(iv) Irish Stamp Duty
In the case of a transfer or sale of AIB ordinary shares, stamp duty will generally be charged at the rate of 1% of the value of the
shares.
The surrender of ADSs to the Depositary in return for ordinary shares, where the surrender does not relate to a sale or
contemplated sale or mortgage of such AIB ordinary shares, will generally not be chargeable to the 1% stamp duty. Where there is
a surrender of the ADSs to the Depositary in return for ordinary shares which is done as a conveyance on sale or in
contemplation of sale, then stamp duty is payable at the rate of 1% of the value of the shares.
(v) Taxation of a gift or an inheritance
Capital acquisitions tax (“CAT”), comprising gift tax and inheritance tax, applies to gifts and bequests of Irish situate assets. CAT
may also apply to non-Irish situate assets depending on the tax residence, ordinary residence and domicile positions of the donor
and the successor or donee. As such, CAT applies to gifts and bequests of AIB ordinary shares. It is not entirely clear whether
ADSs representing ordinary shares are regarded as non-Irish situate assets. As such, CAT may also apply to gifts and bequests of
ADSs representing ordinary shares regardless of the residence, ordinary residence or domicile of the donor and successor or donee.
For further details of CAT see ‘Taxation of Irish Shareholders - Taxation of a Gift or an Inheritance’.
US Tax
(i) US Federal Income Taxation
An Eligible US Holder is subject to US Federal income taxation on the gross amount of any dividend paid by AIB out of AIB’s
current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for US federal income tax purposes). Dividends received by
individuals before 1 January 2013, that constitute qualified dividend income, are taxed at a maximum federal tax rate of 15%,
442
subject to certain holding requirements. Holders of Ordinary Shares or ADSs must have held their shares for more than 60 days
during the 121-day period beginning 60 days before the ex-dividend date.
Dividends paid by AIB with respect to ordinary shares or ADSs will be qualified dividend income for US tax purposes if
AIB was not in the year prior to the year in which the dividend was paid, and is not, in the year in which the dividend was paid,
a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”). Based on our current and projected financial data, we believe AIB should not be
treated as a PFIC for US federal income tax purposes with respect to tax years 2010 and 2011 and we do not anticipate that AIB
would be treated as a PFIC for the 2012 year.
Dividends paid by AIB to US corporate stockholders with respect to ordinary shares and ADSs, will not qualify for the
dividend received deduction otherwise generally allowed to such stockholders. The amount of the dividend to be included in
income will be the US dollar value of the euro payment made, determined at the spot US dollar/euro exchange rate on the date
of actual or constructive receipt by the Eligible US Holder in the case of ordinary shares, or by the Depositary in the case of
ADSs, regardless of whether the payment is actually converted into US dollars. Any gain or loss recognised by an Eligible US
Holder on the sale or disposal of euros as a result of currency exchange fluctuations during the period from the date the dividend
payment is includable in income to the date the payment is converted into US Dollars will be treated as ordinary income or loss
and will not be eligible for the special tax rate applicable to qualified dividend income.
Distributions in excess of current or accumulated earnings and profits would be treated as a non-taxable return of capital to
the extent of the Eligible US Holder’s basis in his AIB ordinary shares or ADSs and would reduce the US Holder’s basis in his
AIB ordinary shares or ADSs. Any remaining excess would be treated for US federal tax purposes as capital gains, provided the
AIB ordinary shares or ADSs are capital assets in the hands of such Eligible US Holder.
Subject to various limitations, Eligible US Holders who have Irish DWT applied to their dividend may be entitled to a
credit against their US federal income tax liability. Under US tax law, the limitation on foreign taxes eligible for credit is
calculated separately with respect to separate classes of income. Dividends paid by AIB are foreign source “passive category
income” or “general category income” depending on the holder’s circumstances. In either case, foreign tax credits allowable with
respect to each category of income cannot exceed the US federal income tax otherwise payable with respect to such category of
income. No foreign tax credit is allowed to the extent a refund of DWT is available to the Eligible US Holder.
(ii) US Withholding Tax
A holder of ADSs may, under certain circumstances, be subject to US backup withholding tax with respect to dividends paid on
ADSs or the proceeds of sale of ADSs. A US holder of ADSs is subject to backup withholding tax unless such holder: (i) is a
corporation or comes within the certain other exempt categories and, when required, certifies this fact; or (ii) provides a correct
taxpayer identification number (“TIN”), certifies that such holder is not subject to backup withholding tax and otherwise
complies with applicable requirements of the backup withholding tax rules. Subject to certain limitations, amounts withheld
under the US backup withholding tax rules may be creditable against the holder’s US federal income tax liability.
(iii) US State and local taxes
State and local taxes may apply to distributions received by holders of AIB ordinary shares or ADSs.
(iv) Gains on sale, exchange or other disposal
Upon the sale, exchange or other disposal of AIB ordinary shares or ADSs, a US Holder will recognise a gain or loss, if any, equal
to the difference between the amount realised upon the sale, exchange, or disposal and the US Holder’s tax basis. Generally, a
holder’s tax basis in AIB ordinary shares or ADSs will be the US Holder’s cost. Such gain or loss will generally be capital gain or
loss. Capital gains recognised by non-corporate US Holders before 1 January 2013, on shares held longer than one year, are taxed
at a maximum rate of 15%. Any gain will generally be treated as income from sources within the US for foreign tax credit
limitation purposes.
In February 2011 ADSs were split such that each ADS representing two AIB Ordinary Shares was exchanged for one ADS
representing ten AIB Ordinary Shares. A US Holder does not recognise gain or loss on the exchange. The US Holder’s total tax
basis in the shares received is equal to the total tax basis in the shares exchanged.
Effective 10 October 2011 AIB terminated its ADR facility. A US Holder of ADSs can surrender their ADSs and receive
underlying AIB ordinary shares up until at least 10 April 2012. The US Holder’s tax basis in the ordinary shares received will be
equal to the tax basis in the ADSs surrendered. A US Holder that does not surrender their ADSs will receive proceeds in
connection with the termination and will be treated as having sold their shares. The US Holder will recognise gain or loss equal
to the difference between the amount realised and the US Holder’s tax basis. As discussed above such gain or loss will generally be
capital gain or loss.
443
Additional information
(v) Taxation of a gift or an inheritance
The 1951 estate tax convention between Ireland and the US is accepted by both countries’ revenue authorities as applying to Irish
inheritance tax, but not gift tax. Under this convention and US tax law any such inheritance tax payable in Ireland generally will
be allowed as a credit, subject to certain limitations, against so much of the US federal estate tax as is payable on the same
property. Transfers of AIB ordinary shares or ADSs upon death may be subject to US federal estate tax subject to certain threshold
exemptions.
US federal gift tax may apply to gifts of AIB ordinary shares or ADSs subject to certain thresholds and exemptions. No credit
is allowable against Federal gift tax for Irish gift tax paid on the same property.
Exchange controls
Under Article 63 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, all restrictions on the movements of capital between
member states of the European Union and between such member states and third countries are prohibited.
Under Article 66 of the Treaty where, in exceptional circumstances, movements of capital to or from third countries cause, or
threaten to cause, serious difficulties for the operation of economic and monetary union, the Council of the European Union, on a
proposal from the European Commission, and after consulting the European Central Bank, may take safeguard measures with regard
to third countries for a period not exceeding six months if such measures are strictly necessary.
Under Article 75 of the Treaty, where is necessary to prevent and combat terrorism and related activities, the European Parliament
and the Council, acting by means of regulations are to define a framework for administrative measures with regard to capital
movements and payments, such as the freezing of funds, financial assets or economic gains belonging to, or owned or held by, natural
or legal persons, groups or non-State entities.
There are no restrictions under AIB’s Articles of Association or under Irish law, as currently in force, that limit the right of non-
resident or foreign owners, as such, to hold securities of AIB freely or, when entitled, to vote such securities freely. There are currently
no restrictions under Irish law, decrees, or regulations affecting the remittance of dividends or other payments to non-resident holders
of AIB securities except in respect of United Nations and/or European Union sanctions.

Employees
During the year ended December 2011, AIB Group employed 14,282 staff, excluding discontinued operations, (end of month average
staff in payment full-time equivalent, excluding career breaks and other unpaid long-term leaves) on a worldwide basis, mainly in the
Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Great Britain, USA.
AIB Group offers a wide range of employee relations programs in each of the areas in which it operates. AIB and the Irish Bank
Officials' Association ("IBOA"), which is the sole recognised trade union for bank officials in the Republic of Ireland, Northern
Ireland and Great Britain, conduct their employee relations in keeping with agreed Partnership Principles, which, since February 2000,
have underpinned the approach taken in employee and industrial relations.
AIB encourages its staff to raise any concerns of wrongdoing through a number of channels, both internal and external. One such
channel, the AIB Speak-Up policy, includes a confidential external helpline. Staff are assured that if they raise a concern in good faith,
AIB will not tolerate any victimisation or unfair treatment of the staff member as a result.
Pay developments in 2011 reflected the financial position of the Group and the constraints on remuneration arising from AIB’s
commitments under the Subscription and Placing Agreements between AIB and the National Pensions Reserve Fund Commission
(“NPRFC”) and the National Treasury Management Agency (“NTMA”) and the Minister of Finance. There were no general salary
increases or increments paid in 2011 and there were no bonus or share schemes operating. External competition for key skills
increased during the year particularly for credit, IT and other specialist banking roles. While remuneration spend was closely managed
because of the financial position of the Group and its reliance on State support, the retention of key skills was prioritised and managed
within tight budgetary parameters.
The average number of employees by market segment for 2011 and by division for 2010 and 2009 (excluding employees on career
breaks, long term absences or any other unpaid leaves) are described in the table below. See also note 66 Employees.

Glossary of terms
ABS
Asset backed securities are securities which are collateralised by income producing assets other than mortgage
loans. They are typically structured in tranches of differing credit qualities. Some common types of asset backed
securities are those backed by credit card receivables, home equity loans and car loans.
Arrears
Arrears relates to any interest or principal on a loan which was due for payment, but where payment has not been
received.
Buy to let
A residential mortgage loan approved for the purpose of purchasing a residential investment property to rent out.
CBOs/CDOs
A collateralised bond obligation (“CBO”)/collateralised debt obligation (“CDO”) is an investment vehicle
(generally an SPE) which allows third party investors to make debt and/or equity investments in a vehicle
containing a portfolio of loans and bonds with certain common features. In the case of synthetic CBOs/CDOs
the risk is backed by credit derivatives instead of the sale of assets (cash CBOs/CDOs).
Commercial
Commercial Paper is similar to a deposit and is a relatively low-risk, short-term, unsecured promissory note
paper
traded on money markets issued by companies or other entities to finance their short-term expenses. In the USA,
commercial paper matures within 270 days maximum, while in Europe, it may have a maturity period of up to
365 days; although maturity is commonly 30 days in the USA and 90 days in Europe.

Commercial Property – focuses primarily on the following property segments:
a) Apartment complexes;
b) Develop to sell;
c) Office projects;
d) Retail projects;
e) Hotels; and
f) Selective mixed-use projects and special purpose properties.
The period when a scheduled payment is due and payable in accordance with the terms of a financial instrument.
Core tier 1
capital
Called-up share capital, share premium and eligible reserves plus equity non-controlling interests, less goodwill,
intangible assets and supervisory deductions as specified by the Central Bank.
Credit default
swaps
An agreement between two parties whereby one party pays the other a fixed coupon over a specified term. The
other party makes no payment unless a specified credit event such as a default occurs, at which time a payment is
made and the swap terminates. Credit default swaps are typically used by the purchaser to provide credit
protection in the event of default by a counterparty.
Credit
derivatives
Financial instruments with which credit risk connected with loans, bonds or other risk-weighted assets or market
risk positions is transferred to counterparties providing credit protection. The credit risk might be the exposure
inherent in a financial asset such as a loan or might be generic credit risk such as the bankruptcy risk of an entity.
Credit risk
The risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss to the other party by failing to
discharge an obligation.
Credit risk
Credit spread can be defined as the difference in yield between a given security and a comparable benchmark
spread
government security or the difference in value of two securities with comparable maturity and yield but different
credit qualities. It gives an indication of the issuer’s or borrower’s credit quality.
Criticised
Loans requiring additional management attention over and above that normally required for the loan type.

Glossary of terms
Customer
accounts
A liability of the Group where the counterparty to the financial contract is typically a personal customer, a
corporation (other than a financial institution) or the government. This caption includes various types of deposits
and credit current accounts, all of which are unsecured.
Debt
restructuring
This is the process whereby customers in arrears, facing cash flow or financial distress renegotiate the terms of
their loan agreements in order to improve the likelihood of repayment. Restructuring may involve altering the
terms of a loan agreement including a partial writedown of the balance. In certain circumstances, the loan balance
may be swapped for equity in the counterparty.
Default
When a customer breaches a term and/or condition of a loan agreement, a loan is deemed to be in default for
case management purposes. Depending on the materiality of the default, if left unmanaged it can lead to loan
impairment. Default is also used in Basel II context when a loan is either 91+ days past due or impaired, and may
require additional capital to be set aside.
Delinquency
Failure by a customer to repay an obligation when due or as agreed. In the case of loans and credit cards, this will
arise when a payment of either capital and/or interest is 1 day or more overdue. Overdrafts are deemed to be
delinquent if an approved limit is exceeded for 1 day or more.
Within AIB, market risk portfolios are controlled from a risk (using VaR limits) and financial perspective. The
Earnings Constraint is the Group’s primary financial limit. It is an expression of the Group’s tolerance for gross
income loss in any financial period (i.e. utilisation against the Earnings Constraint Limit is based on cumulative
gross income in each half year).
The amount of capital which the bank needs to protect against extreme losses from a material risk it is running
(e.g. credit risk, market risk). It is based on internally developed calculation methodologies and estimates, as
opposed to regulatory capital which uses a methodology determined by the Basel Accord and imposed by the
Regulator.
The EAD is the expected or actual amount of exposure to the borrower at the time of default.
Earnings

Exposure at
Default
(“EAD”)
First/
Second lien
Where a property or other security is taken as collateral for a loan, first lien holders are paid before all other
claims on the property. Second lien holders are subordinate to the rights of first lien holders to a property security.
Forbearance
Forbearance is the term that is used when repayment terms of the mortgage contract have been renegotiated in
order to make payment terms more manageable for borrowers. Forbearance techniques have the common
characteristic of rescheduling principal or interest repayments, rather than reducing them. Standard forbearance
techniques employed by the Group include: - interest only; a reduction in the payment amount; a temporary
deferral of payment (a moratorium); extending the term of the mortgage; and capitalising arrears amounts and
related interest.
Funded/
unfunded
exposures
Funded: Loans, advances and debt securities where funds have been given to a debtor with an obligation to
repay at some future date and on specific terms.
Unfunded: Unfunded exposures are those where funds have not yet been advanced to a debtor, but where a
commitment exists to do so at a future date or event.
Home loan
A loan secured by a mortgage on the primary residence or second home of a borrower.
449
Glossary of terms
Impaired loans
Loans are typically reported as impaired when interest thereon is 91 days or more past due or where a provision
exists in anticipation of loss, except: (i) where there is sufficient evidence that repayment in full, including all
interest up to the time of repayment (including costs) will be made within a reasonable and identifiable time
period, either from realisation of security, refinancing commitment or other sources; or (ii) where there is
independent evidence that the balance due, including interest, is adequately secured. Upon impairment
the accrual of interest income based on the original terms of the claim is discontinued but the increase of the
present value of impaired claims due to the passage of time is reported as interest income.
IRBA
Leveraged
lending
The Internal Ratings Based Approach (“IRBA”) allows banks, subject to regulatory approval, to use their own
estimates of certain risk components to derive regulatory capital requirements for credit risk across different asset
classes. The relevant risk components are: Probability of Default (“PD”); Loss Given Default (“LGD”); and
Exposure at Default (“EAD”).
Leveraged lending involves lending to entities by leveraging off their equity structures having considered the cash
generating capacity of the business and its capacity to repay any associated debt. Leveraging structures are typically
used in management and private equity buy-outs, mergers and acquisitions. Leverage lending typically is to non
investment grade borrowers and carries commensurate rates of return.
Loan workout
Loan workout is the process whereby once an advance is deemed to be criticised (i.e. ‘Watch’, ‘Vulnerable’ or
‘Impaired’), the Group monitors and reviews the advance regularly with the objective of working with the
customer to resolve their financial difficulties, which may include restructuring, in order to maximise the level of
recovery by the Group.
Loans past due When a borrower fails to make a contractually due payment, a loan is deemed to be past due. ‘Past due days’ is a
term used to describe the cumulative number of days that a missed payment is overdue. Past due days commence
from the close of business on the day on which a payment is due but not received. In the case of overdrafts, past
due days are counted once a borrower:
- has breached an advised limit;
- has been advised of a limit lower than the then current amount outstanding; or
- has drawn credit without authorisation.
When a borrower is past due, the entire exposure is reported as past due, rather than the amount of any excess or
arrears.
Loan to
deposit ratio
This is the ratio of loans and receivables to customers as presented in the statement of financial position
compared to customer accounts.
Loss Given
Default
(“LGD”)
Monte Carlo
Simulation
Mortgage
covered
securities
The LGD is the expected or actual loss in the event of default, expressed as a percentage of ‘exposure at
default’.
A mathematical modelling process or analytical technique for solving a problem by performing a large number of
trial runs, called simulations, and inferring a solution from the collective results of the trial runs. It is a standard
method for calculating the probability distribution of possible outcomes and has particular application in
determining the ‘Value at Risk’ (“VaR”) of portfolios containing option products.
Mortgage covered securities (also known as covered bonds) are debt securities backed by cash flows from
mortgages. They are issued for the purpose of financing loans secured on residential property.
NAMA
National Asset Management Agency
Prime loan
Loan in which both the criteria used to grant the loan (loan-to-value, debt-to-income, etc.) and to assess the
borrower’s history (no past due reimbursements of loans, no bankruptcy, etc.) are sufficiently conservative to rank
the loan as high quality and low-risk.

analysis
Probability of
Default (“PD”)
Risk weighted
assets
A mathematical way of identifying patterns in data. It is used to analyse interest rate shock scenarios by
decomposing the interest rate term structure into its principal components.
The PD is the likelihood that a borrower will default on an obligation to repay.
A measure of assets (including off-balance sheet items converted into asset equivalents e.g. credit lines) which are
weighted in accordance with prescribed rules and formulas as defined in the Basel Accord to reflect the risks
inherent in those assets.
RMBS
Residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”) are debt obligations that represent claims to the cash flows
from pools of mortgage loans, most commonly on residential property.
Securitisation
The process of aggregation and repackaging of non-tradable financial instruments such as loans and receivables, or
company cash flow into securities that can be issued and traded in the capital markets.
SPE
Structured
securities
Student loan
related assets
Sub-prime
Tier 1 capital
Special purpose entity (“SPE”) is a legal entity which can be a limited company or a limited partnership created
to fulfil narrow or specific objectives. A company will transfer assets to the SPE for management or use by the
SPE to finance a large project thereby achieving a narrow set of goals without putting the entire firm at risk.
This involves non standard lending arrangements through the structuring of assets or debt issues in accordance
with customer and/or market requirements. The requirements may be concerned with funding, liquidity, risk
transfer or other needs that cannot be met by an existing off the shelf product or instrument. To meet this
requirement existing products and techniques must be engineered into a tailor made product or process.
Loans advanced to students for the students’ maintenance made under specific United States law.
Extensions of credit to borrowers who, at the time of the loans’ origination, exhibit characteristics indicating a
significantly higher risk of default than traditional bank lending customers.
A measure of a bank’s financial strength defined by the Basel Accord. It captures core tier 1 capital plus other
tier 1 securities in issue, but is subject to deductions relating to the excess of expected loss on the IRBA
portfolios over the IFRS provision on the IRBA portfolios, securitisation positions and material holdings in
financial companies.
Tier 2 capital
Broadly includes qualifying subordinated debt and other tier 2 securities in issue, eligible collective impairment
provisions, unrealised available for sale equity gains and revaluation reserves. It is subject to deductions relating to
the excess of expected loss on the IRBA portfolios over the accounting impairment provisions on the IRBA
portfolios, securitisation positions and material holdings in financial companies.
Tracker
mortgage
A tracker mortgage has a variable interest rate. The rate tracks the European Central Bank (“ECB”) rate, at an
agreed margin above the ECB rate and will increase or decrease within five days of an ECB rate movement.
VaR
Vulnerable
loans
Watch
loans
The Group’s core risk measurement methodology is based on an historical simulation application of the industry
standard Value at Risk (“VaR”) technique. The methodology incorporates the portfolio diversification effect
within each standard risk factor (interest rate, credit spread, foreign exchange, equity, as applicable). The resulting
VaR figures, calculated at the close of business each day, are an estimate of the probable maximum loss in fair
value over a one day holding period that would arise from a ‘worst case’ movement in market rates. This VaR
metric is derived from an observation of historical prices over a period of one year and assessed at a 95% statistical
confidence level (i.e. the VaR metric may be exceeded at least 5% of the time).
Loans where repayment is in jeopardy from normal cashflow and may be dependent on other sources.
Loans exhibiting weakness but with the expectation that existing debt can be fully repaid from normal cashflow.
