    Address by the President of the Management Board of the Bank

    Honoured clients, business partners and shareholders,

    Firstly, allow me to express my pleasure to address you on behalf of the Management Board of TTK Bank. It was more than two years ago when we established a rather large financial institution, and by combining tradition, experience and enthusiasm of the two former banks (Teteks Kreditna Banka A.D. Skopje and Tetovska Banka A.D. Tetovo) we created a bank of great potential. A bank that gradually and surely takes its place in the market.

    In the course of 2007, TTK Bank achieved a great success by the entry and participation of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), which meant a new capital strengthening as well as new potentials for new technological and organizational approach, and development of new products and services.

    The successfulness and loyalty of the Bank can be confirmed by 50.000 clients, individuals and legal entities, who can also confirm Bank`s fulfilment of its mission and vision. The gradual increase of the number of clients speaks for itself in terms of the Bank’s success.

    Following continuously the trends of the world banking market, the Bank offers services according to the principles of liquidity, safety and stability. The success of Bank’s offer of high quality services is a result from the analysis of the needs of our current and future clients and their confidence in us.

    In conditions of high competitive banking sector in the country and an obvious outbreak of foreign capital to the banks in the Republic of Macedonia, TTK Bank notes a stable growth of its operation and expansion of the product and service portfolio. The Bank is continuously expanding its business network throughout the entire territory, at the same time supporting the interests of its shareholders, business partners and clients.

    Bank`s vision is to be a bank of choice of small and medium-size business and retail clients. The mission of the Bank is to be the best bank, a partner of small and medium-size businesses in Macedonia and the first choice of retail banking clients, aspiring to create highest values for its clients and shareholders. The bank falls into the group of banks having an up-to-date technical and technological basis for operation, electronic banking services and SWIFT money transfer.

  • The Bank achieves its positive results by following the strict banking principles, namely, exclusively by means of the assets from deposits of its clients and the capital of its shareholders, and also investing assets from foreign credit lines through the Macedonian Bank for Support and Development, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, and other recognized foreign banks and funds.

    The Bank continuously invests in training and advanced training of its employees and management, and improvement of the risks management system. In line with the Bank’s profile of an independent bank, market oriented and a private Macedonian bank, with universal range of products and services, the Bank demonstrated transparency in its operation and establishment of a good and strong cooperation with its clients.

    The management body and the Bank’s employees have the complete support and necessary assistance in creating a financial institution that will be a dominating one in the market and will achieve positive financial results.

    Allow me to express my deepest gratitude to our clients, business partners and shareholders who with their confidence, commitment and professionalism contribute to the achievement of the Bank’s objective – to create a powerful financial institution together.

    Annual Report 2007

    Address by the managers of the TTK Bank

    Honoured clients, business partners and shareholders,

    TTK Bank as a new subject on the Macedonian banking market, represents a compound of the experience of several decades and the tradition of the two banks our Bank was formed of. The need for a financial institution that will offer products and services appropriate for the Macedonian market impelled us to take this step. In the course of 2007, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development entered our bank as a new shareholder with 25% of the capital, what was followed by reorganization of the Bank, new capital investments and technical and organizational assistance.

    Currently, the competition on the Macedonian banking market is fierce, taking into consideration the large banking brands from the country and from abroad. The year of 2007 was marked by stable economic situation in the country, considering the modest economic growth, fiscal indiscipline and inflation rate of 2,3%.

    In June 2007, EBRD assisted the effectuation of new credit line of EUR 5 million which was intended for crediting small and medium-size businesses. This way, the Bank defined itself as a universal bank, mainly focusing on small and medium-size business and retail banking.

    In the course of 2007, the Bank successfully realized its goals through presence and expansion of its market share in the country, by opening new sub-branches in Ohrid, Kavadarci and Rostuse. The Bank presently has a total number of 3 branches and 25 sub-branches.

    Main activities that marked the previous year are:

    The intensive reorganization of the Bank’s operations, according to the best up-to-date banking experiences, strengthening of the risk management structures, the increase of management team efficiency, development and extension of the product and service portfolio, as well as increase in the number of satisfied clients.

    Priority was given to improvement of monitoring and efficacy in the budget control, planning and expenses. The Bank also invested in employees’ training in order to realize its plan for highly-skilled manpower that will enable a more professional work with clients and contribute to further development of the Bank.

  • The principled and transparent approach towards Bank’s operation resulted in increase of indicators in all operation fields, such as the number of depositors, increased pament operations, increased loan portfolio, increase in deposited funds, as well as successful dealing on the stock market.

    Total assets/liabilities note an increase of 29,7%, increase in the net credit portfolio of 28,6% and increase in deposits of 37,5%, leading to positive financial results.

    In the course of the business year of 2007, the Bank carried out its business activity in compliance with the business policy of the Bank, objectives and tasks of the monetary policy of NBRM and macroeconomic conditions characteristic of the Republic of Macedonia.

    We would like to express our gratitude to our clients for giving us their trust, to our partners for the successful cooperation, to our employees for their extraordinary devotion to fulfillment of the mission and vision, and of course, to the shareholders for their complete support in achieving our goals.

    Management’s Responsibility for the Financial StatementsThe management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Accounting Standards prevailing in the Republic of Macedonia. This responsibility includes: designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

    Auditors’ ResponsibilityOur responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements, and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overallpresentation of the financial statements.We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

    OpinionIn our opinion the financial statements of the Bank, present fairly, in all material respects the financial position of TTK Bank s.c. Skopje as of December 31, 2007, and its financial performance, changes in equity and its cash flows in accordance with Accounting Standards used in the Republic of Macedonia and accounting policies disclosed in Note 2 and 3 to the financial statements.

As disclosed in the note 27 to the financial statements, as of December 31, 2007, there were operating ratios which were not within the prescribed limits.

The Bank proves its ownership with other appropriate ownership documents (ownership certificates, sale and purchase agreements, construction agreements) in accordance with the provisions on Law on Ownership.
