13 I. BASIS OF PRESENTATION SECTION THREE ACCOUNTING POLICIES a. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements and related notes and explanations in accordance with the Turkish Accounting Standards and Regulation on the Principles and Procedures Regarding Banks Accounting Application and Keeping Documents: The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulation on Accounting Applications for Banks and Safeguarding of Documents published in the Official Gazette No dated 1 November 2006, which refers to Turkish Accounting Standards ( TAS ) and Turkish Financial Reporting Standards ( TFRS ) issued by the Turkish Accounting Standards Board ( TASB ) and additional explanations and notes related to them and other decrees, notes and explanations related to accounting and financial reporting principles (all Turkish Accounting Standards or TAS ) published by the Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency ( BRSA ). The Bank maintains its books in Turkish lira in accordance with the Banking Act, Turkish Commercial Code and Turkish tax legislation. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in YTL, under the historical cost convention except for the financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with TAS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates by the Bank management to exercise its judgment on the assets and liabilities of the balance sheet and contingent issues as of the balance sheet date. These estimates are being reviewed regularly and, when necessary, suitable corrections are made and the effects of these corrections are reflected to the income statement. b. Explanation for convenience translation into English: The differences between accounting principles, as described in these preceding paragraphs and accounting principles generally accepted in countries in which consolidated financial statements are to be distributed and International Financial Reporting Standards ( IFRS ) have not been quantified in these consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements are not intended to present the financial position, results of operations and changes in financial position and cash flows in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in such countries and IFRS. c. Explanations on first-time adoption of TAS: The Group has prepared its consolidated financial statements in accordance with TAS as of 31 December 2006 for the first time. According to the Turkish Financial Reporting Standard Regarding the First-time Adoption of Turkish Financial Reporting Standards ( TFRS 1 ), the effects of adoption of TAS are also reflected to the comparatives of these consolidated financial statements as of comparative consolidated financial statements as of 31 March

These accounting policies and valuation principles are explained in Notes II to XXVII below. 11

15 I. EXPLANATIONS ON BASIS OF PRESENTATION (CONTINUED) II. e. Items subject to different accounting policies in the preparation of consolidated financial statements: There are no items subject to different accounting policies in the preparation of consolidated financial statements. EXPLANATIONS ON STRATEGY OF USING FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND EXPLANATIONS IN FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS: The Group s core business activities include retail banking, corporate banking, private banking, foreign exchange, money markets, securities transactions (Treasury transactions) and international banking services. The Group performs financial leasing transactions through Ak Finansal Kiralama A.Ş. By nature the Group s activities are principally related to the use of financial instruments. As the main funding source, the Group accepts deposits from customers for various periods and invests these funds in high quality assets with high interest margins. Other than deposits, the Group s most important funding sources are equity, mostly intermediate and long-term borrowings from foreign financial institutions. The Group follows an asset-liability management strategy that mitigates risk and increases earnings by balancing the funds borrowed and the investments in various financial assets. The main objective of asset-liability management is to limit the Group s exposure to liquidity risk, interest rate risk, currency risk and credit risk while increasing profitability and strengthening the Group s equity. The Asset-Liabilities Committee ( ALCO ) manages the assets and liabilities within the trading limits on the level of exposure placed by the Executive Risk Committee ( ERC ). For covering foreign currency exposures arising from the foreign currency transactions, the Group uses derivatives and asset-liability balancing transactions. Foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated with the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising from such transactions are recognized in the income statement under the account of net foreign exchange income/expense. Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated into Turkish lira using the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date, income and expenses of foreign subsidiaries are translated into Turkish lira at the average exchange rates and all resulting exchange differences are accounted in the shareholders equity under Other profit reserves. As at, foreign currency denominated balances are translated into Turkish lira using the exchange rates of YTL1,385, YTL1,8448 and YTL1,1733 for USD, EUR and Yen, respectively. 12

16 III. EXPLANATIONS ON INVESTMENTS IN ASSOCIATES AND SUBSIDIARIES: Consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Turkish Accounting Standard for Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements ( TAS 27 ). Consolidation principles for subsidiaries: Subsidiaries are entities controlled directly or indirectly by the Bank. Subsidiaries are consolidated using the full consolidation method on the grounds of materiality principle considering their operations, asset and equity sizes. Financial statements of related subsidiaries are consolidated from the date when the control is transferred to the Bank. Control means, directly or indirectly, holding the majority of the capital of an enterprise or although not having this majority, by holding privileged shares; or based on agreements made with other shareholders, holding the majority of the voting power or somehow having the power of dismissal or appointment of the majority of the members of the board of directors. In the full consolidation method, 100% of subsidiaries assets, liabilities, income, expense and offbalance sheet items are combined with the Parent Bank s assets, liabilities, income, expense and off-balance sheet items. The carrying amount of the Group s investment in each subsidiary and the Group s portion of the capital of each subsidiary are eliminated. Intragroup balances and intragroup transactions and resulting unrealized profits and losses are eliminated. Minority interests in the net income of consolidated subsidiaries are identified and adjusted against the income of the Group in order to arrive at the net income attributable to the Group. Minority interests are presented in the consolidated balance sheet, in the shareholder s equity. Minority interests are presented separately in the Group s income. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary tool ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. Consolidation principles for investments in associates: Associates are entities in which the Parent Bank has invested in equity, and has a significant influence even without the power to govern the financial and operating policies. Associates are consolidated with the equity method on the grounds of materiality principle. Significant influence represents the power to participate in the financial and operating policies of the investee.

The income statement reflects the investor s share of the results of operations of the investee. Accounting policies of associates have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. 13
