We have set the basic goals for this model as confidence and stability, effective risk management, readiness, efficiency and better cooperation. The ongoing financial integration process in the international markets has raised the financial contagion risks, the risk of spreading of a financial problem in a country or company to another. The phenomenon of globalization, which favored certain countries until recently, caused the financial crisis to spread like a wild fire and made it harder to manage. The global financial crisis has shown us that the derivative financial instruments, which were developed for risk management purposes, were mostly used for speculative intentions. Also, supervision and regulation in this area were insufficient. Enhancement of cooperation and information flow among members of the financial safety net in all countries seems inevitable in the formation of new approaches for restructuring the financial system and maintaining its smooth operation. International Association of Deposit Insurers (IADI), --in whose governing body SDIF is also represented-- and the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision concluded the process which began last year for "Core Principles for Effective Deposit Insurance Systems" and reached an agreement. In most part, SDIF is in accordance with these core principles that are arranging the responsibilities and powers of deposit insurance organizations, issues related with membership of credit institutions, the scope of insured deposits, resolution function of deposit insurance organizations, and fast payout to depositors. Additionally, a new risk based insurance premiums tariff which constitutes one of the core principles of deposit insurance and serves its strategic goals, has developed as one of the most advanced models among country practices. In this model, the number of risk factors which was previously 5, has been increased to 14 enabling an important level of differentiation in premiums to be paid by banks according to the level of risk associated with them. So, it is targeted to accumulate a sufficient deposit insurance reserve that gives confidence to depositors and bankers, to encourage banks for the better risk management, and reduce moral hazard that may arise from deposit insurance. 4 Annual Report- 2008 Financial statements of SDIF, which have a major importance in maintaining confidence and stability and which are considered among SDIF’s strategic goals, have been restored into a plain, understandable and manageable structure following the write-off of SDIF's debt to the Treasury Undersecretariat with the legal arrangement in 2008. Deposit insurance organizations have undertaken important responsibilities in overcoming the problems related with banking systems of countries in the globe that are going through financial crisis. For example, the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is playing important roles in resolution of the current crisis, just like it did in the 90's and 30's. Deposit insurance organizations of countries like Japan, South Korea, Brazil and Mexico, which had experienced systemic crisis in the past, have also assumed important roles. SDIF, in the light of its past experiences and with the intention of contributing to financial stability, continues to work towards realizing its strategic goals.

DUTIES AND ACTIVITIES OF THE FUND Savings Deposit Insurance Fund has been established as a legal entity, in accordance with the Decree Law No. 70 of the Banking Law that came into force on July 22, 1983 in order to insure the savings deposit in the banks and the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey was empowered with its administration and representation. The duty of administration and representation of the Fund was later transferred to the Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency as of August 31, 2000 within the framework of Banks Act No. 4389. With the amendment of Banks Act No. 4389, by the Act No. 5020 dated December 26, 2003, the Fund Board was designated as the decision-making body of the Fund and the Chairman of the Fund Board was given the authority to execute the general administration and representation of the Fund and thus the Fund acquired an autonomous status. Under the Banking Law No. 5411 dated November 1, 2005, the Fund remained an administratively and financially autonomous, public legal entity and it has been granted the right to determine the policies regarding deposit insurance. According to the Article 111 of the Banking Law, the Fund is independent in execution of its duties. Decisions of the Fund shall not be supervised for appropriateness. No organ, authority or person may issue orders or instructions to influence the decisions of the Board. Headquarter of the Fund is in Istanbul. Upon a Council of Ministers Decree, the Fund may establish a maximum of three representative’s offices and collection units in the provinces where activities that are in the Fund's area of duty and authority, are concentrated. In this respect, the Fund has a representative office in Ankara. 1.1. Duties The duties of the Fund have been redefined in the Banking Law. According to the Article 111 of the said Law, the duties of the Fund are as follows: • Insuring deposits and participation funds in order to protect the rights and interests of depositors within the framework of the powers given by this Law and other applicable legislation, • Managing the Fund banks, strengthening and restructuring their financial standing, transferring, merging, selling or liquidating such banks, • Carrying out and concluding the follow-up and collection procedures for the Fund's receivables, • Managing the Fund’s assets and resources, • Performing other duties assigned by the Law. These duties also define SDIF's mission. SDIF’S MISSION In order to contribute to confidence and stability of the financial system, SDIF; - insures deposits and participation funds, - resolves banks and assets transferred to it in the most efficient way - 9 Annual Report- 2008 1.2. Activities Deposit insurance and resolution activities constitute the Fund's main area of operation. Within the framework of its deposit insurance operation, the Fund determines policies for deposit insurance and makes necessary arrangements, takes measures and manages the risks arising from deposit insurance, monitors the risks related with banking sector and the banks and runs procedures for the collection of insurance premiums, mentioned in the Article 130 of the Banking Law. As part of its resolution operations, besides exerting efforts to resolve banks whose licenses of operation were revoked and whose control was transferred to it, the Fund works to create an early warning system for banks that are likely to fall into the same position. The Fund also works to accomplish the resolution processes of the said banks with optimum cost and within an optimum time and recover the SDIF funds that have been transferred to these banks.

As an extension of the Fund's Corporate Performance Management System, SDIF Project Management Office was founded and SDIF Project Management Methodology was determined, in order to enable the sound management of the projects which make up the majority of the performance indicators. In line with the selected methodology, SDIF Project Management Organization was founded and 13 projects, each of which serves realization of a different strategic goal, were successfully accomplished and implemented. In 2009, the Fund aims at implementing 22 more projects serving its strategic goals. SDIF has defined its new vision as "To be an active and leading corporation in promoting international financial stability through a strategy-oriented dynamic management approach". Setting out with this new vision defined with the Corporate Scorecard approach, the Fund's strategic thrusts and goals for the term 2008-2010 were determined, SDIF Strategy Map was created, and the Corporate Scorecard for 2008 was prepared. Scorecards for each unit were formed in the first quarter of 2008, and assessment of unit and corporate scorecards began. Strategic goals for the term 2008 to 2010 was determined within the framework of strategic thrusts of the Fund as; confidence and stability, effective risk management, readiness, efficiency and cooperation.

DEPOSIT INSURANCE ACTIVITIES The Fund aims at determining deposit insurance policies in line with the international practices, monitoring risks associated with banks and the sector and forming and maintaining an efficient deposit insurance system by creating public awareness. In order to fulfill its deposit insurance function, the Fund has been making effective contributions to the activities of Coordination Committee and Financial Sector Commission, which were founded under the Banking Law, with the aim of creating a firm platform for sharing of information and cooperation with other institutions and organizations and continuously developing these platforms. Following the deposit insurance operations carried out within 2008, the Fund had aimed to increase its reserves which amounted to USD 3,272 million in 2007, up to USD 3,868 million by the end of 2008. Targets for TL were achieved but due to the rapid rise in foreign currency exchange rates the total reserves reached USD 3,456 million, and were realized below the USD targets. The ratio of this reserve to the total amount of insured deposits and participation funds, which is approximately YTL 129 billion, is 4.24% as of December 31, 2008. This ratio is an important indicator for the Fund’s goals of “effective public awareness” and “contribution to the stability of the financial system” which were mentioned under the “stakeholders” and “financial” perspectives in the Corporate Scorecard.

Regulations Regarding Deposit Insurance Under the regulation published by BRSA, titled “Regulation on Savings Deposit Subject to Insurance and Premiums to be collected by the Insurance Fund”, the practice of differentiation of premium rates to be paid by credit institutions according to five risk factors -- namely; capital adequacy ratio (CAR), FX net position ratio, Ratio of loans granted to a risk group to the equities of a bank belonging to that group, ratio of non-performing loans, and free equity capitals— have begun in January 1, 2003. However, the authority to determine the insurance premium tariff, premium collection dates, the methods and other aspects was taken from the Banking Regulation and Supervision Board and handed over to the Fund Board with the Banking Law No. 5411. In this respect, the “Regulation on Deposits and Participation Funds Subject to Insurance and Premiums to be collected by Savings Deposit Insurance Fund” has been accepted by the Fund Board and took effect after it was published in the Official Gazette No. 26339 dated November 07, 2006. The Fund did not make any changes in the insurance premium tariff within the scope of this regulation, and decided to continue implementing the risk factors used in determination of the additional premium rates for credit institutions which has been in effect since January 1, 2003, the thresholds for these factors, and the foreseen additional premium rates. The current premium tariff --which has enabled a considerable portion of the credit institutions to pay premiums different from the basic premium rate since the time it took effect on March 2003—has gradually lost its efficiency in differentiating premium rates according to risk factors associated with credit institutions. According to the said premium tariff, many credit institutions clustered together within a specific interval and they pay premiums based on the basic premium rate. As a matter of fact, as of December 2007 all credit institutions except one, has been paying premiums at the basic premium rate. In this respect, the Fund assessed that the current premium tariff was not efficient enough in differentiating the credit institutions according to the level of risk associated with them, and decided that it would be appropriate to change it. The risk based insurance premium tariff, which was enacted with the Banking Law, in order to enforce the credit institutions to pay premiums according to the risk they cause in the banking system and encourage them to take lower risks and be in harmony with more cautious regulations, also do exist in the banking practices of developed countries. The risk based premium tariff carries the following qualities; • is effective in grouping banks into relevant risk categories 24 Annual Report - 2008 • meets the fund needs of the deposit insurance system through the premium rates applied to risk categories and encourages Banks towards a stronger risk management • its premium categories have an encouraging effect on the risk profiles of the banks and are structured according to relevant distinctions and rules and criteria for risk based premium system are clear and transparent for the banks • risk based premium tariffs are accepted by the safety net players and the banking sector. In studies for changing the premium tariff: examples in other countries were examined, and efforts were exerted towards creation of an applicable tariff model compatible with the structure of Turkish banking sector. In this respect, initially the risk factors to be used in the insurance premium tariffs and their risk weights were determined and the threshold values of these risk factors were analyzed. When determining the risk factors and their weights in efforts for creating a structure suitable for Turkey, both the factors used in the current tariff, and factors used in practices of other countries and their weights were considered. Also, gradual changes in the values of the factors, chosen for determining the threshold values of risk factors, and distribution of the recent values assumed by these factors and their distribution according to the size of the credit institutions were also examined. As a result of these efforts, a tariff model which evaluates the credit institutions according to their risk factors, and aims at differentiating the premium rates to be paid by them, was created. For the implementation of the new tariff, a new amendment on the “Regulation on Deposits and Participation Funds Subject to Insurance and Premiums to be collected by Savings Deposit Insurance Fund” was prepared and published on May 5, 2008 in the issue No.26867 of the Official Gazette. In order to allow, the Fund and the credit institutions, a reasonable time of preparation for transition to the new practice, the Fund Board decided to put the new amendment in force on January 1, 2009. The Fund also decided that the premiums to be the collected under the new tariff, be based on financial tables created as of March 31, 2009. According to the new amendment of the “Regulation on Deposits and Participation Funds Subject to Insurance and Premiums to be collected by Savings Deposit Insurance Fund,” the credit institutions will get a total score between “0” (zero) and “100” (a hundred), according to the risk factors and their weighted grades mentioned in the “Risk Categories and Grade Summaries Table”, and an evaluation based on the said risk factors and their threshold values. Based on their scores, the credit institutions will fall into one of the four premium categories shown in the “Premium Categories and Premium Rates” table below. Total Grade Premium Category Premium Rate (basis points) ≥ 85 A 11 ≥70 and < 85 B 13 ≥ 50 and < 70 C 15 < 50 D 19 Table 4: Premium categories and premium rates Based on their total grades, credit institutions will pay premiums at rates in one of the premium categories in Table 4. These rates are as follows: 1. 11 basis points for credit institutions in premium category “A” 2. 13 basis points for credit institutions that fall in premium category “B” 3. 15 basis points for credit institutions that fall in premium category “C” 4. 19 basis points for credit institutions that fall in premium category “D” 25 Annual Report - 2008 On the other hand, the first paragraph of the second temporary article of the Law on “Saving of Certain Assets to the National Economy” published in the issue No.27062 of the Official Gazette on November 22, 2008, was arranged as follows: “The authority to set the scope and amount of the savings deposit and the participation funds owned by real persons, to be subject to insurance, which was handed to the SDIF Board with the third paragraph of Article 63 of the Banking Law No. 5411, will be used by the Council of Ministers for the two years following the date the said law takes effect. In the mean time, besides the savings deposit and the participation funds owned by real persons, the Council of Ministers is also authorized to set the scope and/or amount for other deposits and participation funds to be subject to insurance, as well as the criteria for deposits and participation funds to be excluded from insurance coverage.” 1.3. Insurance Premium Revenues In 2008, the total amount of insurance premiums collected from insured deposits and participation funds was YTL 482 million, USD 78,6 million and EUR 52.7 million. Bank Group Currency Deposit Banks Participation Banks Total Grand Total (in YTL) Insurance Premium Amount YTL 455,722,322 USD 73,172,416 EUR 49,531,938 YTL 26,311,716 USD 5,471,262 EUR 3,190,992 YTL 482,034,038 USD 78,643,678 EUR 52,722,930 YTL 676,069,345 Table 5: Insurance premium revenues for the year 2008 Note: The CBRT FX buying rates at the end of related premium term apply in calculations of YTL equivalents.

The main reason for this decline is that the main premium rate was lowered from 25 basis points to 12.5 basis points in 2003. Another reason for this is the regulation that took effect in September 2004. With this regulation, although the basic premium rate was raised to 15 basis points, the premium basis was changed from total savings deposit to insured deposits which caused a decline in the total premium collection earnings. The rise in premium revenues since 2006 was for the most part due to the increase in premium base.

Other Revenues Regarding Deposit Insurance In addition to insurance premiums, the Fund has other income items stated in Article 130 of Banking Law such as revenues from prescribed assets, revenues from entrance fees for the banking system, revenues from share transfer fees of banks, judicial and administrative fines and other income items. 1.4.1. Prescribed Assets Article 62 of the Banking Law, stipulates that the deposits, participation funds, bailed goods and receivables at banks that have not been claimed by their owners within ten years following the latest request, transaction and written directive of their owners, shall be subject to prescription. If the banks cannot access to their customers about the deposits, participation funds, bailed goods and claims that barred prescription, then these are recorded as revenue to the Fund, following an announcement. In accordance with the “Regulation on Principles and Procedures Regarding Admission and Withdrawal of Deposits and Participation Funds, and Prescribed Deposits, Participation Funds, Bailed Goods and Receivables”; the banks publish the lists regarding the prescribed assets in their web sites and at the same time send it to the Fund. Furthermore, these lists are consolidated and published in the web site of the Fund st th (www.tmsf.org.tr) between 1 of February and 30 of April every year. In 2008, total revenues of the Fund from assets that were barred by prescription has been YTL 16.9 million. 27 Annual Report - 2008 Number of Accounts (in thousands) 300 250 30,0 27,9 293 25,0 200 20,0 199 150 10,5 100 16,9 160 6,9 123 50 15,0 10,0 5,0 0 0,0 2005 Total Revenue (YTL in millions) Prescribed Assets by Years 2006 2007 2008 Number of Accounts Total Revenue Chart 8: Prescribed assets by years 1.4.2. Fines According to the article No. 130 of Banking Law, 50% of the judicial fines and 90% of the administrative fines given due to violations of the provisions of the said law are registered as income to the Fund. Within the framework of these provisions, in year 2008, the Fund has collected a total of YTL 3.4 million as administrative fines and YTL 340,000 of the collected fines was transferred to the Ministry of Finance. 1.4.3. Fees from Transfer of Bank Shares According to the Article No. 18 of the Banking Law, during the transfer of bank shares subject to permission of BRSA, a transfer fee valued at 1% of the nominal value of the bank’s transferred shares shall be paid to the Fund by the transferee. Within this scope, the Fund has collected a fee amounting to YTL 12.9 million in 2008. 1.5. Budget Expenses of the Fund In accordance with the Regulation on Organization of SDIF, the expenditure budget for the year 2008 was prepared and put into practice by the Decision of the Fund Board. The principles of appropriation and utilization regarding employment of personnel, sale, purchase and rental of vehicles, equipment, material and real estate and purchase of every service necessary for the Fund’s operations, have been defined by the expenditure budget. Disciplining SDIF’s expenditures made during the execution its duties and authorities stemming from the Banking Law, ensuring efficient use of resources and making consistent decisions for the future, necessitates monitoring of the income and expenditure of the Fund under a budget discipline. Therefore, in preparation of the “SDIF Expenditure Budget for 2008”, retrenchment concerns were taken into consideration, and special care was shown to create a structure that enables the conduct of services without any delay. The spending foreseen in the Expenditure Budget for 2008 was covered with the Fund’s revenues from the deposit insurance activities. The total appropriation foreseen in the 2008 Expenditure Budget was YTL 54.6 million while the total annual expenditure in 2008 amounted to YTL 43.8 million, with YTL 27.4 million spent on personnel expenses and YTL 10.3 million on purchase of goods and services. The distribution of budget appropriations and expenditures for the year 2008 are shown in Table 6. 28 Annual Report - 2008 The Distribution of Budget Appropriations and Expenditures for 2008 (YTL) Total Appropriation for 2008 Topic of Appropriation Personnel Expenses Realization as of Dec. 31, 2008 Realization Rate 30,390,000 27,390,958 % 90.13 4,280,000 1,383,939 % 32.34 14,180,000 10,317,016 % 72.76 Current Transfers 3,050,000 2,914,078 % 95.54 Capital Expenses 2,700,000 1,770,127 % 65.56 54,600,000 43,776,118 % 80.18 Expenses on Social Security Government Premiums Expenses on Purchase of Service and Goods Total Table 6: The distribution of budget appropriations and expenditures for the year 2008 1.6. Deposit Insurance Reserve Management Deposits, participation funds and Domestic Government Bonds are the financial instruments used in the management of reserves that the Fund maintains under the task of insuring deposit and participation funds. Procedures and principles regarding management of the Fund’s reserve has been revised, in order to increase the efficiency of the interactive procedures between the Funds operational units, with the developments in domestic and foreign markets taken into consideration. The Fund has a deposit insurance reserve of YTL 5,465 million as of December 31, 2008. YTL 1,991 million of the said amount is invested in DGBs, while YTL 3,474 million of it is deposited in bank accounts. The amount of reserves reached YTL 5,465 million in 2008, marking a 42% rise from 2007’s YTL 3,843 milion. Financial income (interest, dividends, exchange rate differences) accounted for YTL 841 million of the rise in reserve, while savings deposit insurance revenues accounted for YTL 781 milion of it. Deposit Insurance reserve, is exposed to risks related with credit, exchange rate and interest as well as operational risks, as is the case with all financial institutions. The said reserve may be exposed to credit risks, as a portion of it is kept as deposit in bank accounts. While the deposit at bank accounts was increased from YTL 3,194 millions to YTL 3,474 million, its share in the Fund’s portfolio was reduced from 83% down to 64%. The total amounts of savings deposited in banks in years and their ratios to the total reserves are shown in Chart 9. YTL in Deposit Amounts and Credit Risk Rates in Years millions 4.000 3.500 %100 %100 %83 3.000 %64 2.500 2.000 1.500 1.000 500 2.227 3.034 3.194 3.474 2005 2006 2007 2008 0 Deposit Amount %100 %90 %80 %70 %60 %50 %40 %30 %20 %10 %0 Deposit/ Total Reserve Chart 9: Deposit amounts and credit risk rates in years. 29 Annual Report - 2008 Of the total amount of insured savings deposit and insurance funds, 75% is in YTL, 12% is in USD and 13% is in EUR. It is believed that the parallelism between this and the distribution of the foreign currencies in the Deposit Insurance Reserve reduces the exchange rate risk. In order to reduce the mentioned risk, the Fund aims to keep the ratio between the foreign currency distribution of insured deposit and insurance reserve, at a certain level. However, due to the excessive fluctuations in the markets and the continuous changes in the parity in 2008, the Fund adopted an inactive approach. The foreign money distribution in the Deposit Insurance Reserve has been as follows: 67% in YTL, 18% in USD and 15% in EUR. The ratio of the insured deposit and participation funds in foreign currencies to the total of insured deposits and participation funds, which expresses the Fund reserve’s currency risks in years, is shown below in Chart 10.

The average maturity date for the Deposit Insurance Reserve in 2008 have been 137 days. The maturity date for YTL, USD and EUR reserves has respectively been; 180, 55 and 42. The average maturity average in 2007 had been 126 days. In 2008, in order to prevent operational risks, the Fund began implementing Tender Management System, Portfolio Management System, and Payment Management System. With the Tender Management System, the Fund aimed at carrying out the Tenders for the sale of deposit, foreign currency and DGBs to Banks, in an electronic environment, transferring data simultaneously and storing it in a safe environment. The implementation of this system in an integrated manner with the Portfolio Management System, prevented material mistakes, increased efficiency of the personnel and the risk threshold measurement for Banks. The deposit tenders in this scope were held via the Tender Management System. With the Portfolio Management System, the transfer of transactional data regarding Fund bank accounts, through a secure electronic system to be developed, was targeted. Works have been completed except for the Performance evaluation component. Benefits of this system to the Fund have been; automatic decomposition of deposit insurance and resolution reserves, and integration of this system with the Tender Management System. With the Payment Management System, the Fund aimed at making the payment orders and transferring them to credit institutions in an electronic environment, enabling a more efficient cash management through payment requests. 30 Annual Report - 2008 2. RESOLUTION ACTIVITIES Under the Article No. 71 of the Banking Law, Banking Regulation and Supervision Board may decide to revoke the operating permission of an insolvent bank or the Board may transfer management and supervision of the bank to the Fund along with its shareholder rights except dividends. When a Bank's operating permission is revoked, the management and supervision of that bank is transferred to the Fund, and consecutively the Fund pays the insured deposit and the insured participation fund and requests the bankruptcy of the bank directly on behalf of the depositors and participation fund holders. Credit institutions whose operating permissions have been revoked are liquidated according to provisions of the Banking Law, where as Investment and Development Banks are liquidated according to general provisions. In the case of a bankruptcy decision, the Fund participates in the bankruptcy estate as privileged creditor and liquidates the bank, with duties and powers of the bankruptcy office, creditors meeting and bankruptcy authority. Another method of resolution used when dealing with troubled banks, is the transfer of the credit institution’s management and supervision to the Fund along with its shareholder rights except dividends, for the purposes of transferring, selling or merging the said credit institutions partially or completely, provided that the loss is deducted from the capital of the existing shareholders. In cases where the Fund holds the entire or majority shares of a bank transferred to itself, it may restructure the bank or strengthen its financial structure through measures like increasing the capital, purchasing real estates, subsidiaries and other assets or making deposits at the bank.

Also shareholder rights except dividends 31 Annual Report - 2008 and management and supervision of 20 other banks were transferred to the Fund. The Fund is still carrying out works for liquidation, resolution or recovery of these banks. On the other hand, under the Article 107 of the Banking Law, the credit institutions, whose shareholder rights except dividends and management and supervision were transferred to the Fund, shall be resolved by the Fund within maximum 9 months. This period may be extended for a maximum of three months upon the decision of the Fund Board. The Fund has analyzed the resolution methods employed by its foreign counterparts and the globally credited resolution principles of the International Association of Deposit Insurers (IADI) and has been carrying out projects for development of new resolution methods, in the light of its experiences. Aside from efforts for improving the resolutory processes, the Fund is actively continuing its works towards liquidation, resolution and recovery of the banks transferred to the Fund, or banks for which bankruptcy decrees were issued following revocation of their operation permissions. In 2008, within the scope of these works, the Fund obtained USD 2,289 million of resolution revenues, and USD 44 million of financial income from the management of the reserve as a result of the resolutory activities. In 2008, the Fund made a payment of USD 1,480 million to the Undersecretariat of Treasury, and USD 367 million to other institutions and corporations. Due to the economic conjuncture, the resolutory revenues in 2008, were only 80% of the projected target. Therefore, the Fund’s payments to the Undersecretariat of Treasury in this year also amounted to the 80% of the projected target. Also payments made to other institutions and corporations amounted to 43% of the projected target because USD 600 million of collections which are subject to ongoing legal procedures are in blocked accounts and resolution costs were higher then the expected level. Data on the mentioned activities can be seen in Table 7.

Moreover, Council of Ministers Decree No. 2007/12398 dated July 13, 2007, which was taken in the framework of Law No. 5667, came into effect on July 21, 2007 by being published in the Official Gazette No. 26589. In the framework of this Law and the Council of Ministers Decree, the Fund has been assigned with the repayment of the said amounts to the individuals who had purchased DGBs from Imar Bankasi. There are 26,140 transactions in 22,095 accounts belonging to 22,517 investors at the bank and these transactions amount to YTL 728 million in total. In case all the titleholders make claims, the maximum amount (principle + interest) to be paid in the framework of 6th paragraph of Article 4 of Council of Ministers Decree No. 2007/12398 of is YTL 970 million. As a result of procedures carried out by the SDIF, the claims of titleholders have been evaluated, required preparations have been completed and the repayments regarding the amounts collected under the name of DGB by Imar Bankası has begun on October 8, 2007.

Banks Transferred to the Fund Information about 20 banks in Turkish banking system, whose management and control and shareholder rights except dividends have been transferred to SDIF is shown in Figure 5. SDIF still carries on the resolution proceedings regarding Birleşik Fon Bankası and TürkBank in liquidation. Birleşik Fon Bankası (previously Bayındırbank A.Ş.) Under a Fund Board Resolution, Birleşik Fon Bankası maintains its operations under the structure of the Fund, primarily to fulfill the function of resolution. In this framework, in 2008 the bank has continued its activities towards reducing its balance sheet and increasing the liquidity. The total assets of the bank amounting to YTL 843million as of 2007, has declined to YTL 834million, its equities which amounted to YTL 666 million (including profit) has declined to YTL 659 million and the share of the liquid assets in its actives has increased from 75% to 85%.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of the Saving Deposit Insurance Fund (“the Fund" or "the SDIF") as of December 31, 2008 and the related statements of income and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes. These statements are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audit. 2. 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. 3. In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Savings Deposit Insurance Fund as of December 31, 2008 and the results of its operations for the year ended in accordance with the Fund’s Accounting Directive, Chart of Accounts and Explanations (significant accounting policies Note 3). In addition to our opinion, within the context of the financial statements prepared based on the aforementioned accounting principles, the Saving Deposit Insurance Fund’s monthly disbursements made to the Undersecretariat of Treasury have been disclosed in Note 21 and included in the audit procedures during the audit of the accompanying financial statements. In our opinion, the information disclosed in Note 21 complies with the procedures and principles set out in the Regulation “Transfer of Cash Surplus of the Savings Deposit Insurance Fund to the Accounts of the Undersecretariat of Treasury”. Without further qualifying our opinion, we would like to draw attention to the following matters: 4. As explained in Note 30, the Department of Legal Affairs has denoted that the law cases filed against the SDIF as of December 31, 2008 in aggregate amounted to NTL 2.859.051 Thousand, USD 23.789.539 Thousand, and EUR 207.369 Thousand. The SDIF management believes that the majority of these cases followed up in the memorandum accounts would not bring any additional liabilities to the Fund. As the law cases are still in progress, and the ultimate outcome of the matters cannot be presently determined, no provision has been allocated in the accompanying financial statements. 58 Annual Report - 2008 5. Amendment Act No: 5787 “Regulating Public Finance and Debt Management” dated July 16, 2008 has come into effect following the issuance in the Official Gazette No: 26945 on July 23, 2008. In accordance with the framework Article 18 of this amendment act, provisional Article 17 is added to the Act No: 4749 “Regulating Public Finance and Debt Management”. As detailed in Note 28 (d), in accordance with such provisional article, as of July 23, 2008 the Fund has derecognized NTL 93.292.116 Thousand of Treasury Debt arising from the Special Issue Domestic Government Bonds that was lent to the Fund until the end of December 31, 2007 and recognized the related amount as income under the account of “Income from Cancelled Debts”. Within this context, subsequent to the derecognition of the Treasury Debts, “Finalized Duty Losses” account amounting to NTL 7.697.135 Thousand has been written off against the account of “Income from Cancelled Debts” and NTL 1.831.693 Thousand of provision allocated for finalized duty losses is accounted as income in the account of “Income from Reversal of Unnecessary Provisions” in accordance with Article 17 of the SDIF’s Accounting Directive.

IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENTS REGARDING THE FINANCIAL ACCOUNTS OF THE FUND Long-Term Loans taken from the Treasury The Law No. 5787, dated July 16, 2008, which amends the Law No. 4749 on “Regulating Public Finance and Debt Management”, took effect on July 23, 2008, the day it was published in the Official Gazette Issue No. 26945. Through a provision in the framework article 18 of the Law No. 5787, Temporary Article 17 was incorporated in to the Law No. 4749. With this article, The Treasury’s receivables consisting of; principal, interest, expenses, and default fines that has arisen/will arise from the special issue DGBs given to the Fund before December 31, 2007, were cancelled without being associated with the income and expense accounts of the budget, by the Minister of Finance upon the proposal of the Minister. In this respect, YTL 93,292 million of Treasury receivables were cancelled as of July 23, 2008. Prior to the cancellation, the debts owed to the Treasury, used to be recorded separately as principal under the “Long term Loans from the Treasury” account and as interest under the “Interest Expense Accruals and Rediscounts for Loans from the Treasury” account in the liabilities section of the Fund’s balance sheet. In this respect, with the cancellation of debts to the Treasury, the said accounts were closed with a counter entry and consecutively an amount of YTL 99,292 million was recorded as income under the “Income from Cancellation of Debts”, which is a sub account under the “Extraordinary Income” account. Finalized Duty Losses In line with the provisions of the SDIF Chart of Accounts and Explanations which took effect with a Fund Board decision on January 1, 2004, YTL 7,697,135,024.67 is credited at “Finalized Duty Losses” account and deducted from “Income from Cancellation of Debts” account and the provision made thus far amounting to NTL 1.831.693 Thousand is transferred to “Income from Reversal of Unnecessary Provisions” account in accordance with the Article 17 of SDIF’s Accounting Directive. Furthermore, in order to provide a more accurate representation of the financial situation, with preserving the consistency and comparability of the data presented under financial statements, the Fund decided to make provisions for doubtful Fund receivables, within the framework of the Accounting Directive and SDIF Chart of Accounts and Explanations. Reserves given to Subsidiary Banks As the collection of the reserves given to the Banks which were taken over by the Fund and merged under Birleşik Fon Bankası depends on the resolution performance of the said bank and as the determination of the amount to be collected in the future is not possible, “Provisions for Reserves Given to Subsidiary Banks” account was opened and a provision for all the balance of “Reserves given to Subsidiary Banks” account amounting to YTL 10,965,403,921.28 was made. Receivables from Bankruptcy Estates It is concluded that the Bankrupt İmar Bankası can not make any repayments to the Fund, from the amounts collected from the tender sales of the commercial and economic integrities or from the separate sales made through execution proceedings, within the framework of the sequence of payments to creditors as the current situation and regulations are taken into account. Therefore, a provision was made for all Fund’s receivables from Imar Bankası bankruptcy estate amounting to YTL 13,065,644,958.81, which is followed under the “Receivables from Bankruptcy Estates” account on the asset side of the Fund’s balance sheet. Furthermore, a portion amounting to YTL 4,579,239,515,03 of the “Income relating to Future Periods ” account on the liability side of the Fund’s balance sheet, under which interest and other receivables that had not been associated with income/expense accounts in the related term were recorded, was deducted from the “Other Provision Expenses” account and the entry was closed. 63 Annual Report - 2008
