5.5.5. Remarks by the Board of Directors’ Chairman and the General Manager regarding the Operating Period and their Anticipations for the Future

5.1. Remarks by the Chairman of the Board of Directors

The branch mainly aims at acting as an intermediary for the foreign trade transactions between the Republic of Turkey and the Islamic Republic of Iran and providing the banking services which the entities and institutions in both countries need to this end. This objective naturally includes providing support to finance the said foreign trade transactions.

The progress in the foreign trade volume between the two countries is vital for the branch pursuant to this objective. I am more than pleased to mention that the foreign trade volume between the two countries has been gradually increasing in the past years. This trend also continued in 2011 and the export volume, import volume and total foreign trade volume increased by ca. 18%, 65% and 50% respectively to exceed $16bln compared to the previous year. It is estimated that it will further increase in the next years.

There was a rapid growth in the Branch assets particularly from the last quarter of 2010 due to the developments occurred in mid-2010 as well as the increase in the foreign trade volume. It continued until the early third quarter of 2011. As a result, the growth in the branch balance sheet was well beyond the sector average in 2011. I would like to underline three pleasing points as to the growth of the Branch. First, the assets quality was maintained during such rapid growth and there was no negative events regarding the matter. Secondly the growth was achieved in those fields which the Branch targeted, was focused on and gave priority to. Lastly the operating expenses were kept under control during such growth. Considering all of the above, 2011 was an extraordinary and exceptional period for the Branch.

The branch management aims at a sustainable and stable return on equity without compromising the assets quality in terms of financial performance. From this perspective the results of 2011 are quite satisfactory. I must underline that this is not a sustainable result. Such growth will probably slow down in the upcoming periods and the current size of balance sheet may start shrinking as of the end of 2011; and naturally financial performance indicators will be back to ordinary levels as a result.

I would like to thank to all the employees for their valuable contributions to those satisfactory results achieved in 2011 and wish them a continued success.

BANK MELLAT, HEAD OFFICE: TEHRAN – IRAN ISTANBUL TURKEY MAIN BRANCH, ANKARA AND IZMIR BRANCHES 2011 ANNUAL REPORT

5.2. Remarks by the General Manager

The branch has been going through a rapid growth process since the third quarter of 2010. High, rapid growth necessitates the Branch management to use all resources, monetary, human and technological resources most properly and accurately. Accordingly it is vital to identify the priority areas of growth in resource allocation for growth as well as the timing for expansion to occur in that area. Making decisions on those issues before the sustainability of growth becomes clear would pose the risk of some serious problems and waste of resources in the upcoming periods. Therefore as the management is aware that such rapid growth is not persistent and would not be sustainable it has based its efforts and plans upon more realistic and reasonable grounds, focused on avoiding any negative event that may occur.

The growth in 2011 was achieved in such operational areas that the bank has long been focused on within the frame of its business strategies and risk management policies. In other words the growth was achieved without deviating or compromising in any manner from the business strategies and risk management policies. It is also notable to mention that our fund resources were diversified to a certain extent in terms of both currency and customer category in the same period.

If the developments that occurred during the year are addressed in figures, it would give a better idea about the abovementioned issues. The total assets and the shareholder’s equity increased by 92,93 and 57,01% respectively in the current year. In line with those developments there were similar increases in the income accounts of the Branch. Net interest income and net fee and commission revenues of the Branch increased by 171,76 and 72,31% respectively compared to the previous year. On the contrary the increase in operating expenses remained at 41,15%. Net profit increased by 121,89% as a result of all those positive developments.

I must admit that this increase will slow down in the upcoming periods and there may be a decrease in total assets depending upon the volume of the demand for financing from time to time. Naturally those changes will also be reflected to the income and operating accounts. The management closely monitors those possibilities and takes the same into consideration for its plans and decisions for the upcoming periods.

I would like to thank to all my colleagues for those satisfactory results achieved and I rest assured that they will continue exerting efforts to the same extent in the upcoming periods as well.

EXPLANATIONS ON ACCOUNTING POLICIES

I. EXPLANATIONS ON THE BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

The preparation of the financial statements and related notes and explanations in accordance with the Turkish Accounting Standards and Regulation on the Accounting Applications for Banks and Safeguarding of Documents:

The Branch maintains its books of accounts in Turkish lira in accordance with the Banking Act No. 5411 (“Banking Act”), which is effective from November 1, 2005, the Turkish Commercial Code and Turkish tax legislation.

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the “Regulation on the Principles and Procedures Regarding Banks’ Accounting Application and Keeping Documents” published in the Official Gazette No.26333 dated November 1, 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 to accounting and financial reporting principles (all “Turkish Accounting Standards” or “TAS” ) published by the Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency (“BRSA”). The format and content of the financial statements to be disclosed to the public and related notes to these financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the “Communiqué Regarding Financial Statements to be disclosed to the Public and Related Disclosures” published in the Official Gazette No.26430 dated February 10, 2007.

Statutory Decree No: 660, which has been become effective and published in the Official Gazette on 2 November 2011, and the Additional Clause 1 of the Law No: 2499 were nullified and accordingly, Public Oversight, Accounting and Audit Standards Institution (the “Institution”) was established. As per Additional Article 1 of the Statutory Decree, applicable laws and standards will apply until new standards and regulations be issued by the Institution and will become effective. In this respect, the respective matter has no effect over the ‘Basis of The Preparation of Financial Statements” Note disclosed in the accompanying financial statements as of the reporting date.

The financial statements have been prepared in TL, under the historical cost convention and in accordance with inflation accounting except for the financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value.

EXPLANATIONS ON ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

II. EXPLANATIONS ON STRATEGY OF USING FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS:

The Branch’s operation scope involves all commercial banking operations and business lines described in the banking legislation.

The Branch invests the funds obtained through fixed rate deposits, loans from Head Office and cash guarantees to short-term, high interest bearing and relatively low risk bank placements and credit for banks. The Branch manages the liquidity risk by providing sufficient cash and cash equivalent sources for its current and contingent liabilities. In this context, the Branch aims at ensuring a liquidity structure which matches liabilities due.

The Branch protects itself from interest rate risk, currency risk and price fluctuations by its investments in short-term placements and provides cash collaterals.

The Branch takes a position according to the currency basket of the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (“CBRT”) in order to hedge itself against possible foreign exchange risks. The Branch with the change in the currency system to floating currency, limits the total foreign currency position in accordance with the legal limits because of the increasing uncertainties in the changing currency path.

As of December 31, 2011, rates used for conversion of foreign currency balances into Turkish lira are TL1,8889 for USD, TL2,4438 for Euro and TL0,0243 for Yen.

III. EXPLANATIONS ON INVESTMENTS IN ASSOCIATES AND SUBSIDIARIES:

As of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Branch has no investments in associates and subsidiaries.

IV. EXPLANATIONS ON FORWARD TRANSACTIONS, OPTIONS AND DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS:

Derivative instruments are measured at fair value on initial recognition and are subsequently re-measured at their fair values. The accounting method for the income or loss arising from derivative instruments depends on the derivative being used for hedging purposes or not and depends on the type of the item being hedged. As of December 31, 2011, the Branch has no derivative instruments that qualify for hedge accounting.

The Branch has no forward transactions, options or other derivative instruments.

V. EXPLANATIONS ON INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE:

Interest income and expenses are recognised in the income statement on an accrual basis using the effective interest method.

The Branch, ceases accruing interest income on non-performing loans according to the related regulation.

EXPLANATIONS ON ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

VI. EXPLANATIONS ON FEE AND COMMISSION INCOME AND EXPENSES:

All fees and commission income/expenses are recognised on an accrual basis, except for certain commission income and fees for various banking services which are accounted for as income at the time of collection. Borrowing fees and commission expenses paid to other financial institutions are recognised as operational costs and recorded using the “effective interest method”. Contract based fees or fees received in return for services such as the purchase and sale of assets on behalf of a third party or legal person are recognised as income at the time of collection.

VII. EXPLANATIONS ON FINANCIAL ASSETS:

The Branch classifies and accounts its financial assets as “Fair value through profit or loss”, “Available- for-sale”, “Loans and receivables” or “Held-to-maturity”. Sales and purchases of the financial assets mentioned above are recognised at the “settlement dates”. The appropriate classification of financial assets is determined at inception according to Branch management’s purpose of purchase.

a. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss:

This category has two sub categories: “Trading financial assets” and “Financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition.”

Trading financial assets are financial assets which were either acquired for generating a profit from short-term fluctuations in prices or dealers’ margin, or are financial assets included in a portfolio in which a pattern of short-term profit making exists.

Trading financial assets are initially recognised at fair value and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value. However, if fair values cannot be obtained from the fair market transactions, it is accepted that the fair value cannot be measured reliably and financial assets are measured using the official prices announced by the CBRT. All gains and losses arising from these evaluations are recognised in the income statement. Interest earned while holding financial assets is reported as interest income and dividends received are included separately in dividend income.

Derivative financial instruments are classified as trading financial assets unless they are not designated as hedge instruments.

The Branch has no financial assets designated as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

VII. EXPLANATIONS ON FINANCIAL ASSETS (Continued)

b. Loans and receivables:

Financial assets that are originated by the Branch by providing money, services or goods to borrowers are categorised as loans and receivables. Loans and receivables originated by the Branch are carried initially at cost and subsequently recognised at the amortised cost value calculated using the “effective yield method”.

If the collectibility of any receivable is identified as limited or doubtful by the management through assessments and estimates, the Branch provides general and specific provisions for these loans and receivables in accordance with the “Communiqué Related to Principles and Procedures on Determining the Qualifications of Banks’ Loans and Other Receivables and the Provision for These Loans and Other Receivables” published in the Official Gazette dated November 1, 2006, No.26333 and the “Communiqué regarding the changes in the Communiqué Related to Principles and Procedures on Determining the Qualifications of Banks’ Loans and Other Receivables and the Provision for These Loans and Other Receivables” published in the Official Gazette No. 27119 dated January 23, 2009. The Branch makes its general provision calculations appropriate in accordance with the regulations published on June 18, 2011 and May 28, 2011 in Official Gazette numbered 27968 and 27947 respectively.

Provision expenses are deducted from the net income of the period. Uncollectible receivables are written-off after all the legal procedures are finalised. If there is a subsequent collection from a receivable that was already provisioned in the previous years, the recovery amount is deducted from specific provisions and included in the income statement.

c. Held-to-maturity financial assets:

Held-to-maturity financial assets are assets that are not classified under “loans and receivables” with fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments where management has the intent and ability to hold the financial assets to maturity. Held-to-maturity financial assets are initially recognised at cost, and subsequently carried at amortised cost using the “effective yield method”; interest earned whilst holding held-to-maturity securities is reported as interest income. Interest income from held-to-maturity financial assets is reflected in the income statement.

There are no financial assets that were previously classified as held-to-maturity but which cannot be subject to this classification for two years due to the contradiction of classification principles.

The Branch has no financial assets that are classified as held-to-maturity as of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

d. Available-for-sale financial assets:

Financial assets available-for-sale consists of financial assets other than “Loan and receivables”, “Held-to-maturity” and “Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss”. Debt securities classified as available-for-sale financial assets are subsequently remeasured at fair value. Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of securities classified as available-for-sale are recognised in shareholders’ equity as “Marketable securities value increase fund”, unless there is a permanent decline in the fair values of such assets or they are disposed of. When these securities are disposed of or impaired, the related fair value differences accumulated in the shareholders’ equity are transferred to the income statement.

VIII. EXPLANATIONS ON IMPAIRMENT OF FINANCIAL ASSETS:

Where the estimated recoverable amount of the financial asset, being the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted based on the “effective interest method”, or the fair value if one exists is lower than its carrying value, then it is concluded that the asset under consideration is impaired. A provision is made for the diminution in value of the impaired financial asset and it is charged against the income for the year.

The principles regarding the accounting of provisions of loans and receivables are explained in detail in Note VII.b. of this section.

IX. EXPLANATIONS ON OFFSETTING FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet when the Branch has a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to collect/pay related financial assets and liabilities on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

X. EXPLANATIONS ON SALES AND REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS AND SECURITIES LENDING TRANSACTIONS:

The Branch does not have any sales and repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions as of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Securities subject to repurchase agreements (“repo”) are classified as “Fair value difference through profit or loss”, “Available-for-sale” and “Held-to-maturity” according to the investment purposes of the Branch and measured according to the portfolio to which they belong. Funds obtained from repurchase agreements are accounted under “Funds Provided under Repurchase Agreements” in liabilities and the difference between the sale and repurchase price is accrued over the life of repurchase agreements using the “effective interest method”.

Funds given against securities purchased under agreements (“reverse repo”) to resell are accounted under “Receivables from Reverse Repurchase Agreements” in the balance sheet. The difference between the purchase and determined resell price is accrued over the life of repurchase agreements using the “effective interest method”.

XI. EXPLANATIONS ON ASSETS HELD FOR RESALE AND RELATED TO DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND EXPLANATIONS ON LIABILITIES RELATED WITH THESE ASSETS:

The Branch has no assets held for sale and discontinued operations and any related liabilities as at the balance sheet date (31 December 2010: TL 25).

EXPLANATIONS ON ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

XIII. EXPLANATIONS ON TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS:

Property and equipment is measured at its cost when initially recognised and any directly attributable costs of setting the asset in working order for its intended use are included in the initial measurement. Subsequently, property and equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any.

Depreciation is calculated over of the cost of property and equipment using the straight-line method. The expected useful lives are stated below:

Buildings 50 years Furniture, fixture and vehicles 5 years

The depreciation charge for items remaining in property and equipment for less than an accounting period at the balance sheet date is calculated in proportion to the period the item remained in property and equipment.

Where the carrying amount of an asset is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, it is written- down immediately to its recoverable amount and the impairment for the diminution in value is charged to the income statement.

Gains and losses on the disposal of property and equipment are determined by deducting the net book value of the property and equipment from its sales revenue.

Expenditures for the repair and renewal of property and equipment are recognised as expense. The capital expenditures made in order to increase the capacity of the tangible asset or to increase its future benefits are capitalised over the cost of the tangible asset. The capital expenditures include the cost components which are used either to increase the useful life or the capacity of the asset or the quality of the product or to decrease the costs.

There are no pledges, mortgages or purchase commitments on property and equipment as of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

XIV. EXPLANATIONS ON LEASING TRANSACTIONS:

Provisions are recognised when the Branch has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. The provision for contingent liabilities arising from past events should be recognised in the same period of occurrence in accordance with the matching principle. When the amount of the obligation cannot be estimated and there is no possibility of an outflow of resources from the Branch, it is considered that a “contingent” liability exists and it is disclosed in the related notes to the financial statements.

III. EXPLANATIONS ON MARKET RISK:

The Branch defines the market risk as the fluctuations in its portfolio value with the changes in the parameters such as market prices, interest rate, currency rates and prices of common stocks. The measurement of market risk is significant for the Branch.

The Branch considers currency risk and interest rate risk as the main components of market risk. The table below shows how the market risk as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 is calculated in accordance with the Section 3 of the “Regulation Regarding Measurement and Evaluation of the Bank’s Capital Adequacy Ratio”, published in the Official Gazette No.26333 dated November 1, 2006, namely “Calculation of Market Risk with Standard Method”.

INFORMATION RELATED TO FINANCIAL STRUCTURE OF THE BRANCH (Continued)

IV. EXPLANATIONS ON OPERATIONAL RISK:

The Bank calculates the amount subject to operational risk based on “Basic Indicator Method” by using 2010, 2009 and 2008 year-end gross income balances of the Bank, in accordance with Section 4 of the “Regulation Regarding Measurement and Evaluation of Banks’ Capital Adequacy Ratio” effective from June 1, 2007, published in the Official Gazette No. 26333 dated November 1, 2006, namely “The Calculation of the Amount Subject to Operational Risk”. As of December 31, 2011, the total amount subject to operational risk is TL57.777 thousand (December 31, 2010: TL40.817 thousand) and the amount of the related capital requirement is TL4.622 thousand (December 31, 2010: TL3.265 thousand).

V. EXPLANATIONS ON CURRENCY RISK:

Since floating exchange rates have been implemented, the Branch monitors its net foreign currency position continuously. The Branch does not have derivatives or net foreign currency investments to hedge its currency risk.

The Branch is taking a position according to the foreign currency basket of the CBRT to avoid foreign exchange risk. Foreign currency asset and liability management on price, liquidity and credit risks are performed in order to carry on profitability in the framework of the Branch’s targeted risk and return profile. Measurable and manageable risks are taken on the basis of the prudential ratios.

The Branch’s foreign exchange bid rates as of the date of the financial statements and for the last five days prior to that date are presented below:

USD EUR JPY AED

December 31, 2011 TL 1,8889 TL 2,4438 TL 2,4340 TL 0,5168 December 29, 2011 TL 1,9065 TL 2,4592 TL 2,4465 TL 0,5170 December 28, 2011 TL 1,8897 TL 2,4702 TL 2,4278 TL 0,5156 December 27, 2011 TL 1,8847 TL 2,4633 TL 2,4158 TL 0,5152 December 26, 2011 TL 1,8833 TL 2,4613 TL 2,4116 TL 0,5145 December 23, 2011 TL 1,8809 TL 2,4583 TL 2,4055 TL 0,5137

VI. EXPLANATIONS ON INTEREST RATE RISK

“Interest rate risk” is defined as the impact of interest rate changes on interest-sensitive assets and liabilities of the Branch.

The Branch evaluates interest rate in two dimensions. This is maturity risk originating from the differences of maturity structures and repricing risk originating from the fluctuations of net interest margin. Interest rate risk is managed using natural hedges that arise from offsetting interest rate sensitive assets with interest rate sensitive liabilities.

Interest rate sensitivity of assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items (based on repricing dates):

TFRS 7, “Financial Instruments: Disclosures”, requires classification of line items at fair value presented at financial statements according to the defined levels. These levels depend on the observability of data used during fair value calculations. Classification for fair value is as follows:

Level 1: Assets or liabilities with prices recorded (unadjusted) in active markets

Level 2: Assets or liabilities that are excluded in the Level 1 of recorded prices directly observable by prices or indirectly observable derived through prices observable from similar assets or liabilities

Level 3: Assets and liabilities where no observable market data can be used for valuation

According to these classification principles stated, the Group’s classification of financial assets and liabilities carried at their fair value are as follows:

4. Data pertaining to the Risk Management Policies in place by Risk Types

The risk management system of the Branch is comprised of the norms, principles, policies, procedures, applications and controls developed in order to reasonably secure the achievement of the targets set, and the identification of the limits and limitations related to various risks.

The risk management system intends to measure, evaluate and monitor any loss that may arise due to the risks which the Branch is exposed to, minimize any expected loss and reduce the frequency and intensity of any unexpected loss.

The Board of Directors is authorized to define the norms and principles, policies, procedures, practices and limits regarding the risk management system. The Board of Directors may delegate such power to the board members, the committees to be established and the senior line managers provided that the scope and limitations are defined in writing.

Due to its activities the Branch is primarily exposed to credit and operational risks followed by liquidity and market risks at a less significant level.

The risk management policies of the Branch were not changed in 2011, and the Branch started to use several new financial products such as contribution to syndication loan and purchasing bank bills.

4.1. Principles and Policies for the Credit Risk Management The power of extending a loan rests with the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may delegate the power of extending loans to the General Manager under the provisions of the Banking Law and respective legislation. The Board of Directors is authorized to define the scope and terms of loan operations. Foreign trade, especially credit facility for export transactions, is the most significant credit operation of the Branch. These transactions have priority in case of allocation and extension. Though it is not common, a loan may be granted for financing of other issues taking into account risk profit balance, security and similar factors.

BANK MELLAT, HEAD OFFICE: TEHRAN – IRAN ISTANBUL TURKEY MAIN BRANCH, ANKARA AND IZMIR BRANCHES 2011 ANNUAL REPORT

Even though it is not possible to absolutely avoid concentrating in any product or sector in the Branch credit risk in terms of target transaction types and target customer mass, the Branch is careful and prudent to distribute the credits to a large customer group in a balanced manner. As a principle, the credits are issued against a valid security. Any asset other than those which can be converted into cash easily and rapidly with an operational market and a reduced possibility of a decrease in value whose value can be defined avoiding any doubt will not be accepted as a security. No credit will be allocated to or allowed to be used by such persons or companies without a reasonable operational background who/which have failed to submit any necessary information or document in full or within the timeframe specified whose management and/or owner lacks sufficient knowledge, capability or transparency where it is not possible to get sufficient information about them. In credit resolutions the requesting entity’s reliability and reputation, legal status, the sector in which it operates, past activities, repayment capacity, robustness of its financial structure and capacity to sustain such robustness should be taken into account as well as the securities and guarantees to be obtained. Credit pricing is determined depending upon the risk category, and the risk profit balance is observed in each credit transaction. Risk category serves as a basic criterion in determining the credit price. A counter policy coherent with the credit risk categories that takes into consideration any change in the risk categories is applied by the Branch. Sector and group limits and sub-limits are monitored and reported on a daily basis.

4.2. Principles and Policies for the Operational Risk Management

Operational risk is defined as a risk of loss that arises out of insufficient or unsuccessful internal processes, people and systems, or external events. Operational risks with a potential of causing significant losses may result in loss such as system interruptions or problems, business conduct patterns and in-house fraud. The types of operational events do not have equal risk weights at the Branch. The types of events for the operational risk principles, policies and practices are defined considering the risk weight that is deemed to apply for the Branch. Underwriting method is used to reduce the risk in case it is appropriate and feasible for the types of events. The main principles, policies and measures regarding the operational risk management of the Branch are as follows: In all the activities of the Branch the powers and responsibilities of those who decides and/or approves that the bank may be a party to any banking transaction and of those who are in charge of executing, performing and concluding the transaction are separate and will remain separate. Approval of any kind of banking transaction and actual performance of such transaction are strictly separated from one other. Those who are authorized to have any purchase/selling and investment/borrowing relationship with any addressee and determine the price, maturity and similar terms about such relationship will not be entitled to perform the operational functions regarding the said transactions or approve the transactions made. In addition to the separation of approval and performance tasks, operational transactions are subject to different approval limits in terms of transaction value. General Manager is entitled to set different limits for different kinds of transactions and determine the codes of practice relating to the same. The operational activities of the Branch are supported with an effective information processing system giving a warning not to allow any potential risk to turn into an actual risk while strengthening the operational productivity and reliability and enhancing the control efficiency.

BANK MELLAT, HEAD OFFICE: TEHRAN – IRAN ISTANBUL TURKEY MAIN BRANCH, ANKARA AND IZMIR BRANCHES 2011 ANNUAL REPORT

The branch takes necessary measures to ensure that the employees follow the progress in legislation and practices and are informed about the same in a timely manner, the content and scope of the amendments are understood and the effect of the same on the activities are communicated to the employees. Those efforts are supported through in-house and external training events. The adequacy and extent of the efforts exerted are regularly monitored by means of compliance controls conducted. The branch has an internal audit and internal control organization structure according to the scope and frequency of those controls to be conducted. Sufficient number of employees with appropriate qualifications is employed at those departments as is required for the job performed. Internal control activities are supplementary to the daily operational activities of the Branch, and internal control activities mainly aim at minimizing the operational risk. To that end the internal control efforts are exerted with such scope and as frequent as required. The internal control efforts and the frequency and quality of internal control activities are evaluated and controlled. Moreover internal audit department exerts efforts on any development, trend or priority issue or necessary measures to be taken with respect to the operational risks. Risks and problems that may arise due to unexpected events are managed within the frame of an “Emergency Plan”. Improvements in the internal volume of the branch are subject to digitization by periods. In this way the work load on the operational staff, trends about the work load, relationship between work force and failure, deficiency or contradiction are all analyzed, and the results are assessed and necessary precautions are taken. Defects, failures, deficiencies and contradictions stated in the internal control, internal audit and independent audit reports are eliminated as soon as possible after the submission date of such reports. The trends about defects, failures, deficiencies and contradictions, and the progress in eliminating them are reported to the Board of Directors quarterly.

4.3. Principles and Policies for the Liquidity Risk Management Liquidity Risk, defined as the failure to meet the payment obligations in full or in a timely manner as there is not enough or proper cash or cash inflow to meet the cash outflow in full or in a timely manner as a result of an imbalance in cash flow, is managed within the frame of the following principles and policies. Liquidity risk is taken into account in all assets allocation resolutions, including the credits. Liquidity management is performed in terms of the currency of the capital used. While determining the maturity for the credits obtained from the Foreign Headquarters and Branches and Other Foreign Banks, the maturity pattern of the Branch's assets are taken into consideration. Concentrations on asset and fund maturities are avoided; attention is paid to spreading the maturities in a balanced manner throughout a particular year. It is prudently ensured that any liquidity deficit or surplus that may arise by maturity segments is controllable in size.

4.4. Principles and Policies for the Market Risk Management General market risk refers to the possibility of loss that the Branch may be exposed to due to currency risk, specific risk, commodity risk or clearing risk. The following principles and policies are observed in this respect: It is agreed that the Branch will not be actively engaged in trading activities, will have no securities or commodities position for trading purposes or will not use any derivative financial instruments.

BANK MELLAT, HEAD OFFICE: TEHRAN – IRAN ISTANBUL TURKEY MAIN BRANCH, ANKARA AND IZMIR BRANCHES 2011 ANNUAL REPORT

The Branch does not invest in financial assets other than the Governmental Debt Securities and/or TR Central Bank liquidity securities, although it is rare, it acquires assets representing indebtedness with satisfactory returns where strong, domestic or foreign entities act as an addressee with a robust security. Structural interest risk which the Branch may be exposed to is kept within acceptable limits. It is ensured that the bank’s interest incomes are minimally affected by means of keeping such deficits sensitive to interest in shorter maturity segments. The Branch is exposed to clearing risk to a limited extent due to foreign exchange selling and purchase transactions made within the scope of the management of foreign exchange position, and due to marketable securities purchase transactions made within the scope of liquidity management. The limits are assigned to the addressees upon the Board of Directors’ resolution due to clearing risk. Clearing risk is kept under control and reduced through operational methods implemented. The rules and restrictions on the direction, extent and composition of the Branch’s foreign exchange position may be transferred to the Assets & Liability Committee, Risk Committee or the General Manager. The Board of Directors and the committee in charge frequently review the principles and policies regarding the management of currency risk within the frame of economic developments in Turkey and in the world and make any amendment they deem fit.

Message from the Chairman

Global economy passed 2010 in confrontation of governments’ policies in the political economy area, so that with implementing less tight monetary policies and redeeming bonds, while wealthy countries experienced deep budget deicits, and the emerging markets experienced inlationary speed, production and employment increased in many wealthy countries, but not suficient to retain pre crisis levels. Despite these confrontations, global economy managed to post a growth by 5% In 2010, well above the expected 3%. Moreover, Chinese economic growth rank fell to the sixth in the world and the world’s highest level of the GDP growth (more than 16%) was posted in the Middle East, representing fall of the classic economic powers and emerging new capacities and opportunities in this strategic region.

Bank Mellat, as a strategy oriented leading private Bank in the Banking industry of the country, having been aware of the role of R&D long before getting privatized, had attempted to detect bottlenecks, diagnose, ind solutions, take feedbacks, etc. via developing scientiic & research activities; thus, to steer the Bank through deepening R&D and knowledge management.
