AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT

FOR THE PERIOD 1 JANUARY - 31 MARCH 2004
To the Board of Directors of

Akbank T.A.Ş.

1. We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of Akbank T.A.Ş. (“the Bank”) at 31 March 2004 and the related statement of income for the period then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Bank's management. Our responsibility is to issue a report on these financial statements based on our review.
2. We conducted our review in accordance with the Uniform Chart of Accounts of banks, accounting standards and the independent audit principles in conformity with Banking Act/No. 4389. Those principles require that we plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. A review is limited primarily to inquiries concerning the Bank’s personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data and thus provides less assurance than an audit. We have not performed an audit and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
3. Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying financial statements do not give a true and fair view of the financial position of Akbank T.A.Ş. at 31 March 2004 and the results of operations for the period then ended in accordance with accounting principles and standards set out by the regulations in conformity with Article 13 of the Banking Act.
Additional paragraph for convenience translation into English:
4. The effects of differences between accounting principles and standards set out by the regulations in conformity with Article 13 of the Banking Act No. 4389, accounting principles generally accepted in countries in which the accompanying financial statements are to be distributed and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) have not been quantified in the accompanying financial statements. Accordingly, the accompanying 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.
