To the Board of Directors of
Turk Ekonomi Bankasy Anonim Sirketi

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Turk Ekonomi
Bankasy Anonim Sirketi (the Bank - a Turkish corporation) and its subsidiaries
as of December 31, 2002 and the related consolidated income, changes in equity
and cash flow statements for the year then ended, all expressed in the
equivalent purchasing power of Turkish lira as of December 31, 2002. These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Bank's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing.
Those Standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The consolidated financial statements of Turk Ekonomi Bankasy Anonim Sirketi for
the year ended December 31, 2001 were audited by other auditors who have ceased
operations and whose report dated June 12, 2002 expressed an unqualified opinion
on those statements.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Turk Ekonomi Bankasy Anonim Sirketi
and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards.

1.  CORPORATE INFORMATION

General

Turk Ekonomi Bankasy A.S. (a Turkish joint stock company - TEB, the Bank) was
incorporated in Turkey. Certain shares of the Bank, representing 20% of the
total, are listed on the Ystanbul Stock Exchange.  The registered office address
of TEB is located at Meclis-i Mebusan Caddesi, No: 35, Fyndykly-Ystanbul/Turkey.
The Bank was originally incorporated in 1927 and in 1982 was acquired by the
Colakoglu Group and renamed as Turk Ekonomi Bankasy A.S.

The consolidated financial statements of the Bank were authorized for issue by
the management on March 5, 2003. The General Assembly and certain regulatory
bodies have the power to amend the statutory financial statements after issue.
The parent and the ultimate parent of the Bank is TEB Mali Yatyrymlar A.S..

Nature of Activities of the Bank / Group

For the purposes of the consolidated financial statements, the Bank and its
consolidated subsidiaries are referred to as "the Group".

The operations of the Group consist of banking, leasing, factoring, insurance,
brokerage and portfolio management in capital markets, which are conducted
mainly with local customers.

The Bank provides banking services through 74 (2001-54) branches and 1,673
employees (2001 - 1,263) (excluding the subsidiaries) as of December 31, 2002 in
Turkey.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Preparation

The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), which
comprise standards and interpretations approved by the IASB, and International
Accounting Standards and Standing Interpretations Committee interpretations
approved by the IASC that remain in effect. The consolidated financial
statements have been prepared on an historical cost convention except for the
measurement at fair value of derivative financial instruments, trading
securities and available-for-sale financial assets.

The Bank and its subsidiaries which are incorporated in Turkey, maintain their
books of account and prepare their statutory financial statements ("Statutory
Financial Statements") in accordance with the regulations on accounting and
reporting framework and accounting standards which are determined by the
provisions of Banking Law and accounting standards promulgated by the other
relevant laws and regulations. The foreign subsidiaries maintain their books of
account and prepare their statutory financial statements in their local
currencies and in accordance with the regulations of the countries in which they
operate.  The consolidated financial statements have been prepared from
statutory financial statements of the Bank and its subsidiaries and presented in
accordance with IFRS in Turkish Lira (TL) with adjustments and certain
reclassifications for the purpose of fair presentation in accordance with IFRS.
Such adjustments mainly comprise effects of restatement for the changes in the
general purchasing power of Turkish lira, deferred taxation, and employee
termination benefits.  The effects of the differences between IFRS and the
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States or countries other
than Turkey, in which the IFRS financial statements may be used, have not been
quantified herein.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Reclassifications on 2001 Financials

The Group has made certain reclassifications in the consolidated financial
statements as of December 31, 2001 to be consistent with the current year
presentation.

Such reclassifications relate to certain classifications in asset, liability and
income statement accounts and presentation of cash flow statement using direct
method and are made primarily to be consistent with the financial statement
reporting format prescribed by the Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency
(BRSA) effective December 31,2002, which is also in line with the international
banking practices.

Changes in Accounting Policies

The Group adopted IAS 39- Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement in
2001. The financial effects of adopting IAS 39 were reported in previous years'
consolidated financial statements.

Measurement and Reporting Currency and Translation Methodology

Measurement and Reporting Currency and Translation Methodology for the Bank and
Its Subsidiaries Which Operate in Turkey:

Measurement currency of the Bank and its subsidiaries, which operate in Turkey,
is Turkish Lira (TL). The restatement for the changes in the general purchasing
power of TL as of December 31, 2002 is based on IAS 29 ("Financial Reporting in
Hyperinflationary Economies").  IAS 29 requires that financial statements
prepared in the currency of a hyperinflationary economy be stated in terms of
the measuring unit current at the balance sheet date and the corresponding
figures for previous periods be restated in the same terms.  One characteristic
that necessitates the application of IAS 29 is a cumulative three year inflation
rate approaching or exceeding 100%. As of December 31, 2002, the three year
cumulative rate has been  227 % (2001- 308 %) based on the Turkish countrywide
wholesale price index published by the State Institute of Statistics.  Such
index and conversion factors as of the end of the three year period ended
December 31, 2002 are given below:


Dates                                  Index           Conversion Factors

December 31, 2000                      2,626.0             2.467
December 31, 2001                      4,951.7             1.308
December 31, 2002                      6,478.8             1.000


The main guidelines for the above mentioned restatement are as follows :

-  the financial statements of prior year, including monetary assets
and liabilities reported therein, which were previously reported in terms of the
measuring unit current at the end of that year are restated in their entirety to
the measuring unit current at December 31, 2002.

-  monetary assets and liabilities reported in the consolidated balance
sheet as of December 31, 2002 are not restated because they are already
expressed in terms of the monetary unit current at that balance sheet date.

-  the inflation adjusted share capital was derived by indexing cash
contributions, dividends reinvested, transfers from statutory retained earnings
and income from sale of investments and property transferred to share capital
from the date they were contributed.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

-  non-monetary assets and liabilities which are not carried at amounts
current at the balance sheet date and other components of equity (except for the
statutory revaluation adjustment which is eliminated) are restated by applying
the relevant conversion factors.

-  the effect of general inflation on the net monetary position is
included in the income statement as monetary gain(loss).

-  all items in the income statement are restated by applying
appropriate average conversion factors with the exception of depreciation,
amortization, gain or loss on disposal of non-monetary assets (which have been
calculated based on the restated gross book values and accumulated depreciation/
amortization).

Restatement of balance sheet and income statement items through the use of a
general price index and relevant conversion factors does not necessarily mean
that the Group could realize or settle the same values of assets and liabilities
as indicated in the consolidated balance sheets. Similarly, it does not
necessarily mean that the Group could return or settle the same values of equity
to its shareholders.

Measurement and Reporting Currencies of Foreign Subsidiaries:

As of December 31, 2002 and 2001,  foreign subsidiaries  (Economy Bank and Petek
International) have adopted EURO as their measurement and reporting  currency.

The foreign subsidiaries are regarded as foreign entities since they are
financially, economically and organizationally autonomous.

Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the
Bank and its subsidiaries drawn up to 31 December each year.

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to
the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is
transferred out of the Group.

The consolidated financial statements of the Group include the Bank and its
subsidiaries, which it controls.  This control is normally evidenced when the
Group owns, either directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the voting rights of
a company's share capital and is able to govern the financial and operating
policies of an enterprise so as to benefit from its activities.  The equity and
net income attributable to minority shareholders' interests are shown separately
in the balance sheet and income statement, respectively.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Intercompany balances and transactions, including intercompany profits and
unrealized profits and losses are eliminated. Consolidated financial statements
are prepared using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other
events in similar circumstances.

The subsidiaries included in consolidation and their shareholding percentages at
December 31, 2002 and 2001 are as follows :


                                                             Place of          Effective Shareholding
                                                           Incorporation        and Voting Rights %
                                                                                 2002           2001

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Investment in Associates

The Group's investments in associates are accounted for under the equity method
of accounting. These are entities in which the Group has significant influence
and which are neither subsidiaries nor joint ventures of the Group. The
investments in associates are carried in the balance sheet at cost, less any
impairment in value. The income statement reflects the Group's share of the
results of operations of the associates.

Foreign Currency Translation

Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the date
of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet
date. All differences are taken to the income statement.

Foreign currency translation rates used by the Group as of respective year-ends
are as follows:


Dates                                                 TL (full) / USD

December 31, 2000                                     671,765
December 31, 2001                                     1,446,638
December 31, 2002                                     1,639,745


The assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated at the rate of
exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. The income statements of foreign
subsidiaries are also translated at year-end exchange rates, which is considered
as a proxy to restate such income statement amounts at year-end purchasing power
of TL. Differences resulting from the deviation between the inflation rate and
the appreciation of foreign currencies against the Turkish Lira related to
equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries were taken to shareholders' equity
as a translation gain (loss).

Premises and Equipment

Premises and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any
impairment in value. Land is not depreciated.

The initial cost of premises and equipment comprises its purchase price,
including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes and any directly
attributable costs of bringing the assets to its working condition and location
for its intended use.  Expenditures incurred after the fixed assets have been
put into operation, such as repairs and maintenance, are normally charged to
income in the period in the costs are incurred.  Expenditures incurred that have
resulted in an increase in the future economic benefits expected from the use of
premises are capitalized as an additional cost of premises and equipment.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful
life of the asset as follows:


Buildings and land improvements            50 years
Machinery and equipment                    5 years
Office equipment                           5 years
Furniture, fixtures and vehicles           5 years
Leasehold improvements                     Lease period, not less than 5 years


2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

The carrying values of premises and equipment are reviewed for impairment when
events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be
recoverable. If any such indication exists and where the carrying values exceed
the estimated recoverable amount, the assets are written down to their
recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in the income statement.
The useful life and depreciation method are reviewed periodically to ensure that
the method and period of depreciation are consistent with the expected pattern
of economic benefits from items of premises and equipment.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets acquired separately from a business are capitalized at cost.
Intangible assets, excluding development costs, created within the business are
not capitalized and expenditure is charged against profits in the year in which
it is incurred. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over
the best estimate of their useful lives.

The carrying values of intangible assets are reviewed for impairment when events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be
recoverable.

Investments

All investments are initially recognized at cost, being the fair value of the
consideration given and including acquisition charges associated with the
investment. The Group maintains three separate securities portfolio, as follows:

Trading securities

Trading securities are securities, which were either acquired for generating a
profit from short-term fluctuations in price or dealer's margin, or are
securities included in a portfolio in which a pattern of short-term profit
taking exists. After initial recognition, trading securities are remeasured at
fair value based on quoted bid prices. All related realized and unrealized gains
or losses are recognized in trading income / (loss), net.

Held- to- maturity securities

Investment securities with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity
where management has both the intent and the ability to hold to maturity are
classified as held-to-maturity. Management determines the appropriate
classification of its investments at the time of the purchase.

Held-to-maturity investments include debt securities primarily government bonds
and treasury bills initially recognized at cost, which is the fair value of
consideration given for them and are carried at amortized cost using  the
effective yield method, less any impairment in value. Amortized cost is
calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition, over
the period to maturity. For investments carried at amortized cost, gains and
losses are recognized in income when the investments are derecognized or
impaired, as well as through the amortization process.

Interest earned whilst holding held-to-maturity securities is reported as
interest income.


2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Available- for- sale securities

All other investments are classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale
securities are subsequently carried at fair value. Gains or losses on
remeasurement to fair value are recognized in income. Gold and share
certificates and investment funds participation certificates are initially
recorded at cost which is the fair value of the consideration given for them,
including transaction costs and subsequently stated at fair value based on the
quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. Any changes in the carrying
value of gold, share certificates and investment fund participation certificates
during the year are charged or credited to the statement of income.

Available-for-sale securities also include debt securities primarily government
bonds and treasury bills. Debt securities classified as 'available-for-sale' are
stated at fair values, with resulting gain/(loss) and recognized in the
statement of income. Fair value is determined by reference to their quoted
market prices at the balance sheet date.

Foreign currency denominated debt securities are valued at their closing prices
and translated at the foreign currency year-end rate of exchange on the balance
sheet date.

Interest earned on available-for-sale investments is reported as interest
income. Dividends received are included in dividend income.

For investments that are actively traded in organized financial markets, fair
value is determined by reference to Stock Exchange quoted market bid prices at
the close of business on the balance sheet date. For investments where there is
no quoted market price, fair value is determined by reference to the current
market value of another instrument which is substantially the same or is
calculated based on the expected cash flows of the underlying net asset base of
the investment. Equity securities for which fair values cannot be measured
reliably are recognized at cost less impairment.

All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the
settlement date. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of
financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame generally
established by regulation or convention in the market place.

Repurchase and Resale Transactions

The Group enters into short-term sales of securities under agreements to
repurchase such securities. Such securities, which have been sold subject to a
repurchase agreement, continue to be recognized in the balance sheet and are
measured in accordance with the accounting policy of the security portfolio
which they are part of. The counterparty liability for amounts received under
these agreements is included in other money market deposits. The difference
between sale and repurchase price is treated as interest expense and accrued
over the life of the repurchase agreements.

Assets purchased with a corresponding commitment to resell at a specified future
date (reverse repurchase agreements) are not recognized in the balance sheet, as
the Group does not obtain control over the assets. Amounts paid under these
agreements are included in other money market placements. The difference between
purchase and resale price is treated as interest income and accrued over the
life of the reverse repurchase agreement.

Offsetting

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the
balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the
recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize
the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Recognition and Derecognition of Financial Instruments

The Group recognizes a financial asset or financial liability in its balance
sheet when and only when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the
instrument. The Group derecognizes a financial asset or a portion of financial
asset when and only when it loses control of the contractual rights that
comprise the financial asset or a portion financial asset. The Group
derecognizes a financial liability when and only when a liability is
extinguished that is when the obligation specified in the contract is
discharged, cancelled and expired.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purposes of the consolidated cash flow statement, cash and cash
equivalents comprise cash and balances with central banks, deposits with banks
and other financial institutions and other money market placements with an
original maturity of three months or less.

Originated Loans and Advances to Customers

Loans originated by the Group by providing money directly to the borrower or to
a sub-participation agent at draw down are categorized as loans originated by
the Group and are carried at amortized cost. Third party expenses, such as legal
fees, incurred in securing a loan are treated as part of the cost of the
transaction.

All loans and advances are recognized when cash is advanced to borrowers.

Provisions for Possible Loan, Lease and Factoring Receivable Losses

Based upon its evaluation of credits granted, management estimates the total
credit risk provision that it believes is adequate to cover uncollectable
amounts in the Group's loan and receivable portfolio and losses under guarantees
and commitments. If there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able
to collect all amounts due (principal and interest) according to original
contractual terms of the loan; such loans are considered impaired and classified
as "loans in arrears".

The amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the loan's carrying
amount and the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the
loan's original effective interest rate or as the difference between the
carrying value of the loan and the fair value of collateral, if the loan is
collateralized and foreclosure is probable.

Impairment and uncollectibility are measured and recognized individually for
loans and receivables that are individually significant, and on a portfolio
basis for a group of similar loans and receivables that are not individually
identified as impaired. On the portfolio basis, management estimates that a 1.5%
lump sum allowance over net investments in direct financing leases to third
parties (excluding related parties) is adequate to cover future, potential or
unforeseen uncollectible amounts in rentals receivable and in the net investment
in direct financing leases.

The Group ceases to accrue interest on those loans that are classified as "loans
in arrears" and for which the recoverable amount is determined primarily in
reference to fair value of collateral. The reserve is also reviewed for
compliance with the Tax Procedural Law and Government Decrees and Communiques
issued by the BRSA with respect to classification of loans and minimum reserve
requirements.

The carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its estimated recoverable amount
through use of an allowance for impairment account.  A write off is made when
all or part of a loan is deemed uncollectible or in the case of debt
forgiveness. Write offs are charged against previously established allowances
and reduce the principle amount of a loan and reduce the principal amount of a
loan. Recoveries of loans written off in earlier periods are included in income.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

If the amount of the impairment subsequently decreases due to an event occurring
after the write-down, the release of the provision is credited to the provision
for loan losses expense. Unwinding of the discount is treated as income and
remaining provision is then reassessed.

Deposits and Funds Borrowed

Deposits and funds borrowed are initially recognized at cost. After initial
recognition, all interest liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized
cost using effective yield method, less amounts repaid. Amortized cost is
calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on settlement. Gain or
loss is recognized in the income statement when the liability is derecognized or
impaired as well as through the amortization process.

Employee Termination Benefits

In accordance with existing social legislation, the Group is required to make
lump-sum termination indemnities to each employee who has completed one year of
service with the Company and whose employment is terminated due to retirement or
for reasons other than resignation or misconduct. Such amounts are recognized in
the accompanying financial statements as earned. The total reserve represents
the estimated amount of liability required in accordance with IAS 19 (Revised
1998) - Employee Benefits.

In the financial statements the Group has reflected a liability calculated using
the Projected Unit Credit Method and based upon estimated limit increase rates
and factors derived using the Company and its Turkish subsidiaries' experience
of personnel terminating their services and being eligible to receive such
benefits and discounted by using the average current market yield at the balance
sheet date on government bonds.

Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or
constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of
resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation
and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. If the
effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by
discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects
current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate,
the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in
the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as an interest expense.

Leases

The Group as Lessee

Finance leases

Finance leases, which transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and
benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item, are capitalized at the
inception of the lease at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, at
the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned
between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to
achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
Finance charges are charged directly against income. Capitalized leased assets
are depreciated over the estimated useful life of the asset.


2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Operating leases

Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and benefits of
ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. These include rent
agreements of branch premises, which are cancelable subject to a period of
notice. Related payments are recognized as an expense in the income statement on
a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Group as Lessor

Finance leases

The Group presents leased assets as a receivable equal to the net investment in
the lease.  Finance income is based on a pattern reflecting a constant periodic
rate of return on the net investment outstanding.  Initial direct costs are
recognized immediately as expenses.

Factoring Receivables and Factoring Payables

Factoring receivables are recognized at original factored receivable amount,
which represents the fair value of consideration given, and subsequently
remeasured at amortized cost less reserve for possible losses. Factoring
payables are recognized at original factored amount less advances extended
against factoring receivables, interest and factoring commissions charged, and
then carried at amortized cost.

Income and Expense Recognition

Interest income and expense are recognized in the income statement for all
interest bearing instruments on an accrual basis using the effective yield
method based on the actual purchase price. Interest income also includes coupons
earned on fixed income securities and accrued discount and premium on treasury
bills and other discounted instruments.

Commission income, fee for various banking services and dividends are recorded
as income when collected.

Insurance premium income represents premiums on policies written during the
period, net of cancellations.  Unearned premiums, set aside to provide for the
period of risk extending beyond the date of the balance sheet, are determined
from premiums written during the period, less reinsurance, on the basis that,
premiums are written on the middle day of each month (the twenty-fourth basis).

Income Tax

Tax expense / (income) is the aggregate amount included in the determination of
net profit or loss for the period in respect of current and deferred tax.

Deferred income tax is provided, using the liability method, on all temporary
differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary
differences, except for the taxable temporary differences associated with
investments in subsidiaries and associates, where the timing of the reversal of
the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary
difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Deferred income tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary
differences. The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at
each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable
that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the
deferred income tax asset to be utilized.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that
are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability
is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or
substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Group enters into transactions with derivative instruments including
forwards, swaps and options in the foreign exchange and capital markets. These
derivative transactions are considered as effective economic hedges under the
Group's risk management policies; however since they do not qualify for hedge
accounting under the specific provisions of IAS 39, they are treated as
derivatives held for trading.  Derivative financial instruments are initially
recognized in the balance sheet at cost and subsequently are remeasured at their
fair value.

Fair values are calculated by using forward exchange rates at the balance sheet
date.  In the absence of reliable forward rate estimations in a volatile market,
current market rate is considered to be the best estimate of the present value
of the forward exchange rates.

For derivatives that do not qualify for special hedge accounting, any gains or
losses arising from changes in fair value are taken directly to net profit or
loss for the period.

Fiduciary Assets

Assets held by the Group in a fiduciary, agency or custodian capacity for its
customers are not included in the balance sheet, since such items are not
treated as assets of the Group.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the balance sheet. Actual results may vary from the current
estimates. These estimates are reviewed periodically, and, as adjustments become
necessary, they are reported in earnings in the periods in which they become
known.

The Bank has signed an agreement with the International Finance Corporation
(IFC) on July 17, 2002, to receive a US$85 million financing facility. The
facility consists of three separate loans. The first loan is a US$15 million,
7-year term, subordinated convertible loan, bearing an interest rate of Libor +
4.5% and matching BRSA's Tier II Capital definitions as well as contributing to
the Bank's capital adequacy ratio in a positive manner. The second loan is a
US$20 million medium-term loan facility to be lent as working capital,
investment or export pre-finance needs to TEB' clients with 3-month to 5-year
maturity from IFC's own account. The third part of the loan allows for the
syndication of up to US$50 million from private commercial banks when markets
recover.

Employee Termination Benefits

In accordance with existing social legislation, the Bank and its subsidiaries
incorporated in Turkey are required to make lump-sum payments to employees whose
employment is terminated due to retirement or for reasons other than resignation
or misconduct.  In Turkey, such payments are calculated on the basis of 30 days'
pay (limited to a maximum of TL 1.260 and TL 0.978 at December 31, 2002 and
December 31, 2001 respectively) per year of employment at the rate of pay
applicable at the date of retirement or termination.  In the financial
statements as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Group reflected a liability
calculated using the Projected Unit Credit Method and based upon factors derived
using their experience of personnel terminating their services and being
eligible to receive retirement pay and discounted by using the current market
yield at the balance sheet date on government bonds.


17. OTHER LIABILITIES AND PROVISIONS (continued)

IAS 19 (revised) requires actuarial valuation methods to be developed to
estimate the enterprise's obligation under defined benefit plans. Accordingly,
the principal actuarial assumptions used in the calculation of the total
liability at the balance sheet dates are as follows:

                                                                               2002               2001

Discount rate                                                                  43%                70%
Expected rates of limit increases                                              35%                60%



Actuarial gains and losses are recognized in the income statement in the period
they occur.

General Information

The Group is subject to taxation in accordance with the tax procedures and the
legislation effective in the countries in which the Group companies operate.

In Turkey the effective corporate tax rate including the fund levied is 33%.
Items exempted from corporation tax (except dividends collected) are subject to
income tax at the effective rate of 11% or 19.8%. In case of dividend
distributions in the form of cash, depending on public or privately owned status
of the entity, 5% or 15% income tax (plus 10% additional fund) is calculated
over that portion of the distributed amount which is subject to 33% corporation
tax and paid to tax authorities on behalf of shareholders.

In Turkey, tax regulations do not provide a procedure for final agreement of tax
assessments.  Tax returns are filed within the fourth month after the end of the
year to which they relate to and tax authorities may examine the accounting
records and revise assessments within five years.

In Turkey, the tax legislation does not permit a parent company and its
subsidiaries to file a consolidated tax return.  Therefore, provision for taxes,
as reflected in the consolidated financial statements, has been calculated on a
separate-entity basis.

In accordance with the advance tax payment regulation in Turkey, entities are
required to file temporary tax returns quarterly and pay 25% of their quarterly
earnings which is offset from the final tax liability computed on the current
year's operating results. Accordingly, the taxation charge computed is not equal
to the final tax liability appearing on the balance sheet.

                                                                                      2002          2001

Deferred income tax liabilities have not been established for the withholding
and other taxes that would be payable on the unremitted earnings of certain
subsidiaries incorporated in Turkey, as it is not certain whether such amounts
will be permanently reinvested or received in cash. Such unremitted earnings
totaled TL7,530 at December 31, 2002 (2001 - TL 1,400) at nominal values. If
such amounts are collected in cash in the form of dividends, they will be
subject to withholding tax at the effective rates of 5.5% to 16.5% depending on
whether the subsidiary is publicly quoted or not.


19. DERIVATIVES

In the ordinary course of business, the Group enters into various types of
transactions that involve derivative financial instruments. A derivative
financial instrument is a financial contract between two parties where payments
are dependent upon movements in price in one or more underlying financial
instruments, reference rates or indices. Derivative financial instruments
include forwards, swaps, futures and options.

The table below shows the favorable (assets) and unfavorable (liabilities) fair
values of derivative financial instruments together with the notional amounts
analyzed by the term to maturity.  The notional amount is the amount of a
derivative's underlying asset, reference rate or index and is the basis upon
which changes in the value of derivatives are measured. The notional amounts
indicate the volume of transactions outstanding at year-end and are neither
indicative of the market risk nor credit risk.

The fair value of derivative financial instruments is calculated by using
forward exchange rates at the balance sheet date. In the absence of reliable
forward rate estimations in a volatile market, current market rate is considered
to be the best estimate of the present value of the forward exchange rates.

As allowed by the BRSA, the Bank has set off prior year losses against legal
reserves and restatement effect of share capital.


21. LEGAL RESERVES AND ACCUMULATED PROFITS (DEFICIT)

Legal Reserves

The legal reserves consist of first and second legal reserves in accordance with
the Turkish Commercial Code. The first legal reserve is appropriated out of the
statutory profits at the rate of 5%, until the total reserve reaches a maximum
of 20% of the entity's share capital. The second legal reserve is appropriated
at the rate of 10% of all distributions in excess of 5% of the entity's share
capital. The first and second legal reserves are not available for distribution
unless they exceed 50% of the share capital, but may be used to absorb losses in
the event that the general reserve is exhausted. As of December 31, 2002, the
Group's legal reserves, which were included within the legal reserves and
accumulated deficit balance amount to TL 7,294 (2001 - TL 7,068) at nominal
values.

The statutory general reserve and statutory current year profit are available
for distribution, subject to the reserve requirements referred to above.


21. LEGAL RESERVES AND ACCUMULATED PROFITS (DEFICIT) (continued)

Dividends

There are no dividends declared and authorized in 2001. The profit appropriation
for 2002 will be resolved in the annual general meeting of the shareholders to
be held in March 2003.


22. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share (EPS) are calculated by dividing the net profit for the
year attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of
ordinary shares outstanding during the year.

In Turkey, companies can increase their share capital by making a pro rata
distribution of shares ("Bonus Shares") to existing shareholders without
consideration for amounts resolved to be transferred to share capital from
retained earnings and revaluation surplus.  For the purpose of the EPS
calculation such Bonus Share issues are regarded as stock dividends.  Dividend
payments, which are immediately reinvested in the shares of the Bank, are
regarded similarly.  Accordingly the weighted average number of shares used in
EPS calculation is derived by giving retroactive effect to the issue of such
shares, which are shown in the table below, without consideration through
December 31, 2002.

General

The Risk Management Group is headed by a dedicated member of the Board who is
assigned as Risk Supervisor. The group reports to the Board of Directors and
manages Market Risk, Credit Risk and Operational Risk.

Board of Directors sets limits and risks taken for all money, capital and
commodity markets and counterparties .

Credit Risk

Credit risk represents the risk generating from the counter party's not
fulfilling its responsibilities stated in the agreement either partially or
totally.

Credit Risk Department is established, the internal rating system for corporate
credits is being used by the Credit Control Department and a scoring system for
retail banking was put in-effect in 2001.  The rating of the firms, credit limit
and guarantee acceptance processes are taken into consideration all together in
accordance with conservative lending policies applied by the Loan Lending and
Risk Follow up Group.  Accordingly the follow up of credit risk is established.
Sectoral counterparty credit limits are set on individual borrowers and groups.
Money Market placement lines and risks of the Group companies are monitored
centrally by an in-house Line Limit System.

The risks and limits generated from treasury and client based commercial
transactions are followed up daily. Additionally, the control of the limits of
the correspondent banks is determined by their ratings and the control of the
accepted risk level in relation to the Bank's equity are performed daily. Risk
limits are determined for the transactions taking place daily and the risk
concentration of the off-balance sheet transactions are followed up by the
system.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk occurs when there is insufficient amount of cash inflows to
fulfill the cash outflows completely on time.

Liquidity risk may occur when market penetration is not enough, when the open
positions cannot be closed at a suitable price and sufficient amount due to
barriers and conditions at the markets. The Bank's policy is to establish a
liquid asset structure that provides comfort in meeting all kinds of liabilities
by liquid assets. The Board of Directors of the Bank continuously determines the
liquidity ratios and related standards, and controls them, in order to keep this
structure.

When the funding and liquidity sources are considered, the Bank covers majority
of its liquidity need by deposits, and in addition to this source, it makes use
of prefinancing and syndication products to generate additional sources. The
Bank is a net lender in interbank money markets.

27. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

Market Risk

The interest rate and exchange rate risks of the financial positions taken by
the Bank related to balance sheet and off-balance sheet accounts are measured
and while calculating the capital adequacy, the amount subject to Value-at-Risk
(VAR) is taken into consideration. Scenario analysis and stress tests are used
additionally in market risk computations.

In order to measure the market risk of the Bank, the Board of Directors has
established risk management strategies in accordance with the proposals of the
Senior Management Risk Committee and these strategies are required to be
followed up periodically. The Board of Directors evaluates the basic risks faced
and determines limitations accordingly. The limits are revised periodically.
Additionally the Board of Directors requires the risk management group and
senior management to take necessary precautions to consider, evaluate, and
control the variety of risks the Bank faces.

Currency Risk

Foreign currency risk indicates the possibilities of the potential losses that
banks are subject to due to the exchange rate movements in the market. While
calculating the share capital requirement, all foreign currency assets,
liabilities and forward transactions of the Bank are taken into account. Net
short and long position of Turkish Lira equivalent of each foreign currency is
calculated. The value, which will be a base for calculating the share capital
requirement, is computed by taking the higher absolute value of the position by
adding to absolute net gold position. Share capital requirement is computed over
of this amount. The Board of Directors sets limits for the positions, which are
followed up daily. Additionally, possible value changes in the existing or
possible foreign currency positions are observed together with the follow-up of
the foreign currency risk in accordance with the provisions of the "Communique
on Internal Control and Risk Management Systems of Banks".

The Board of Directors of the Bank determines the short position limits that the
Bank can hold in accordance with the present legal limitations. The Treasury
Department of the Bank is responsible for the management of Turkish Lira or
foreign currency price, liquidity and affordability risks that could occur in
the domestic and international markets. The Risk Control Department continuously
controls risk and risk related transactions occurring in the money markets and
prepares weekly reports for the Bank's Asset-Liability Committee. The related
principles and limitations of the counterparties are determined by the Loan
Committee. The limits concerning the maturity structure of the foreign currency
transactions and interest rates are monitored by the  Asset-Liability Committee.

27. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk measures the probability of loss related to the changes in
interest rates depending on the Bank's position. This is managed by the Treasury
Department. The Board of Directors determines the interest rate risk limits. The
Risk Control Department calculates, controls and reports the interest rate risk.

All types of sensitivity analysis are calculated by the risk management group
and reported to the Asset-Liability Committee. The Asset-Liability Committee
monitors the interest rate risk and takes these into consideration in defining
the repricing strategies.

The table below summarizes the Group's exposure to interest rate risk on the
basis of the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the repricing date.

                                                                                               Non

27. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

Operational Risk

Operational risk is defined as the risk of direct or indirect loss resulting
from inadequate or failed internal process, people and systems or from external
events.

Operational risk which is inherent in all business activities is associated with
human error, system failure and inadequate controls and procedures. Operational
risk includes errors and omissions in business activities, internal and external
fraud and natural disasters.

The Bank's first objective is to achieve all qualitative standards of Basel
Committee, by implying policy and procedures, ensuring the strict observance of
internal code of conduct and also developing strong internal control culture.

Compliance with legal rules, information security, fraud prevention, contingency
planning and disaster recovery, and also incident management are the main
subjects of the operational risk mitigation controls.

Capital Adequacy

To monitor the adequacy of its capital, the Group uses ratios established by
BRSA. These ratios measure capital adequacy (minimum 8% as required by BRSA) by
comparing the Group's eligible capital with its balance sheet assets,
off-balance sheet commitments and market and other risk positions at weighted
amounts to reflect their relative risk. As of December 31, 2002, the Bank's
capital adequacy ratio on an unconsolidated basis is 15.40% (2001- 13.26%).

Fair values of remaining financial assets and liabilities carried at cost,
including deposit with banks and other financial instruments, balances with the
Central Bank, reserve deposits, other money market placements, deposits,
factoring receivables and payables, funds borrowed under securities repurchase
agreements and promissory notes are considered to approximate their respective
carrying values due to their short-term nature.

To the extent relevant and reliable information is available from financial
markets in Turkey, the fair value of financial instruments is based on such
market data. The fair values of other financial instruments are determined by
using estimation techniques that include reference to the current market value
of another instrument with similar characteristics or by discounting the
expected future cash flows at prevailing interest rates.

The interest used to determine the fair values of financial instruments, applied
on the balance sheet date to reflect active market price quotations are as
follows:
