PERIOD 1 JANUARY 2003
TO 31
DECEMBER 2003
THE
CENTRAL BANK OF THE REPUBLIC OF TURKEY
INDEPENDENT
AUDITORS' REPORT
To The Central Bank of
The Republic of Turkey
Ankara
1. We
have audited the accompanying balance sheet of the Central Bank of the Republic
of Turkey (the "Bank") as of 31 December 2003 and the related
statement of income for the year then ended.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Bank's
management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
2. We
conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on
Auditing. These standards require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance as to 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 attached financial statements
present fairly the financial position of the Bank as of 31 December 2003 and the
results of its operations for the year then ended on the historical cost basis
in accordance with Turkish statutory accounting requirements and the Law of the
Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey.
4. Without qualifying our
opinion, we draw attention to the following matter:
The
Bank is operating in a hyperinflationary economy with a cumulative inflation
rate of 181 % for the last three years. The Bank maintains its statutory
accounts under the historical cost convention in accordance with the requirements
of Turkish Accounting Legislation and the Law of the Central Bank of the
Republic of Turkey. Therefore, in the accompanying financial statements no
restatement of non-monetary assets and liabilities has been made to reflect the
impact of inflation. Inflation accounting adjustments have been applied in a
separate report prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards.

of the Republic of Turkey (“the Bank”) as of 31 December 2003 have not yet been

a-Detailed
explanations of all basic accounting policies applied by the bank
The
basis of presentation of the financial statements and the significant
accounting policies applied are as follows:
i. Basis for Presentation of the Financial Statements
The Bank maintains its
books of account and prepares its statutory financial statements in accordance
with Turkish Commercial Practice and Tax Legislation and Law No:1211 of the
Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey ( the “Central Bank Law”). According to the 57th and 58th
articles of the Central Bank Law, the accounting period of the Bank is the
calendar year. At the end of each calendar year, The Bank submits its balance
sheet and income statement to the Prime Ministry along with the annual report
prior to the General Assembly meeting and publishes the balance sheet in the
Official Gazette.
ii.
Applied
Accounting Principles
Apart
from the policies listed above, significant accounting policies applied in the
preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
a. Accounting Principles
The statutory
records are maintained in accordance with the present Turkish legislation under
the historical cost basis of accounting, except for the periodic revaluation of
property, plant and equipment.
b. Recording of income and expense
Interest and other income and expenses are recognized on
an accruals basis.
According
to a change made in the 61st article of the Central Bank Law number 4651 on 25
April 2001, in the event of a change in the value of the Turkish currency,
unrealized gains and losses arising from the revaluation of gold, foreign
exchange and foreign currency indexed assets and liabilities of the Bank are
classified into a special account named Valuation Differences, not comprising
part of the annual income statement.

c. Provisions
According
to the 59th article of the Central Bank Law, provisions in amounts deemed
appropriate by the Board may be reserved from the gross annual profit of the
Bank in order to meet losses which may arise in future years. Provisions also
include retirement pay provision, tax provision and insurance provision for
money in transit.
d. Foreign Currency Transactions
Foreign
currency transactions are recorded at the foreign currency exchange rate
applicable on the date of the transactions.
Gold is valued at the
average of the gold prices quoted on the London exchange at 11:00 a.m. as of 31
December 2003 and on the basis of the
equality of 1 ounce = 31.1035 grams.
Assets
and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are valued at the foreign
currency purchase rate as at the balance sheet date. Differences arising from
the currency revaluation are recorded in a special account separate from the
income statement, as stated in paragraph “b” above.
e. Retirement Pay Provision
According to Turkish Legislation and
Labor Union agreements Retirement Payments
are made at the retirement of employees or in the case of layoff. In the
Bank, the amount payable depends on the rank and years of service, as defined
in T.C. Emekli Sandığı and Social Security Insurance Institution rules. The
Bank is building up, over five years starting from 2001, a provision for the
total accrued retirement pay liability. The amount presented in the financial
statements as at 31 December 2003 is three fifths of the total liability as at
31 December 2001 plus the total difference between the calculated retirement
provision as at the 2003 and 2001 year ends.

The
Bank is subject to corporation tax in accordance with Turkish legislation. In addition to that, the bank is liable for
Income Withholding tax for third parties.

The securities
portfolio consists of government bonds purchased for the Bank’s account based
on the 52nd article of the Central Bank Law related with open market operations
to regulate the money supply and liquidity in the economy, and securities
purchased with agreements to resell.
