17.1% q-o-q

Q3 2009 summary of the Bank`s consolidated results

In Q3 2009, the Bank`s Total Operating Income (Revenue) amounted to GEL 79.3
million, a 1.6% decline q-o-q (down 7.7% y-o-y), a result of a 1.1% q-o-q
decrease of Net Interest Income to GEL 48.9 million and a 2.4% q-o-q decline of
Net Non-Interest Income to GEL 30.4 million (up 12.3% y-o-y). The decline of Net
Interest Income during the quarter was due to contraction of consolidated gross
loan book, which was down by 3.8% q-o-q (lower rate of decline than 8.5% in Q2
2009). Despite high liquidity during the quarter, Net Interest Margin (NIM)
stood at 9.1% in Q3 2009. Lower Net Non-Interest Income was a result of an 8.4%
q-o-q decrease (down 31.4% y-o-y) of Net Foreign Currency Related Income to GEL
6.5 million, attributed to the decreased FX transaction volumes and a 9.3% q-o-q
decrease of Net Fees and Commission Income to GEL 10.5 million (down 18.8%
y-o-y), reflecting the contraction of the loan book during the quarter. Net
Income from Documentary Operations increased 30.6% q-o-q to GEL 2.3 million, (up
37.3% y-o-y), a result of the increase in trade finance activities. Net Other
Non-Interest Income increased 3.5% q-o-q to GEL 11.1 million, mostly due to the
increase in brokerage income during the quarter. 

NNOI in Q3 2009 increased 0.3% q-o-q to GEL 34.3 million, (down 5.4% y-o-y), on
the back of 2.9% q-o-q improvement of Total Consolidated Recurring Operating
Costs for the quarter to GEL 45.0 million (down 9.4% y-o-y). Personnel Costs,
the largest Recurring Cost item, was reduced 3.8% q-o-q largely an effect of the
cost cutting measures implemented at BG Bank, Ukraine. Such measures include the
closure of 13 branches bringing the number of branches to 18 and headcount
reduction by 168 full time employees (or 23% reduction) since the beginning of
the year. Total Recurring Operating Costs excluding Personnel Costs reached a
total of GEL 22.6 million in Q3 2009, a 2.1% decrease q-o-q. Normalized
Cost/Income ratio (Costs exclude Net Non-Recurring Costs) decreased to 56.7 % in
Q3 2009 from 57.5% in Q2 2009 and 57.8% in Q3 2008. Total Non-Recurring Costs
for the quarter amounted to GEL 1.9 million, that include fees and commissions
related to the increase of the Bank`s GDRs block listing on the London Stock
Exchange in August 2009. 

The Bank`s Net Provision Expense for the quarter amounted to GEL 30.0 million,
compared to the Net Provision Expense of GEL 40.7 million in Q2 2009 and GEL
103.2 million in Q3 2008. The 26.3% improvement of Net Provision Expense for the
quarter was largely driven by the improving market environment in Georgia. The
Bank`s Net Provision Expense in Georgia amounted to GEL 17.7 million (compared
to Net Provision Expense of GEL 29.6 million in Q2 2009), while BG Bank`s Net
Provision Expense reached GEL 12.9 million (compared to Net Provision Expense of
GEL 11.0 million in Q2 2009), or 17.1% q-o-q increase, reflecting the
management`s conservative approach to provisioning in Ukraine. 

YTD 2009 summary of the Bank`s consolidated results

In nine months of 2009 the Bank`s Total Operating Income (Revenue) decreased
4.5% y-o-y to GEL 241.6 million, due to 8.3% y-o-y decrease in Net Interest
Income to GEL 150.8 million, which more than offset a 2.6% y-o-y increase in Net
Non-Interest Income to GEL 90.8 million. The decline of Net Interest Income
reflects the decrease of the consolidated gross loan book from GEL 2,059.7
million at the end of Q3 2008 to GEL 1,833.1 million in Q3 2009. Net Foreign
Currency Related Income declined by 32.5% y-o-y to GEL 22.3 million mostly due
to decrease in volumes and lower FX volatility throughout the year. The Bank`s
Net Fees and Commission Income decreased 8.2% y-o-y to GEL 33.2 million due to
decline in lending activity, while Net Income from Documentary Operations grew
by 26.4% y-o-y to GEL 6.3 million. Net Other Non-Interest Income reached GEL
28.9 million, up 103.7% y-o-y, mostly driven by the increased profitability of
the Bank`s insurance subsidiary, resulting in the Net Insurance Income of GEL
13.0 million for the nine months of 2009, up 123.2% y-o-y. Total Recurring
Operating Costs decreased by 4.9% y-o-y to GEL 135.9 million, mostly due to a
17.0% y-o-y decline of Personnel Costs, a result of the cost optimization
measures, including headcount reduction implemented by the Bank in Georgia and
Ukraine. 

Net Provision Expense in nine months of 2009 amounted to GEL 102.8 million,
which compares to GEL 117.8 million Net Provision Expense booked by the Bank in
Q3 2008. The Bank had Net Provision Expense of GEL 33.3 million in Ukraine and
GEL 71.3 million in Georgia. The Bank reported Net Income of GEL 3.4 million for
the nine months of 2009. 

On 30 September 2009, the Bank`s Consolidated Total Assets stood at GEL 3.0
billion, up 2.5% from 30 June 2009, down 8.6% from 31 December 2008 and down
5.5% from Q3 2008. The Bank`s Net Loans decreased by 5.2% q-o-q (down 14.1%
y-o-y) to GEL 1,659.3 million. 

In Q3 2009 loan loss reserves amounted to GEL 173.7 million or 9.5% of
consolidated gross loan book, up from 8.1% in Q2 2009, the increase due to the
decline of the gross loan book in Georgia and increased reserves in Ukraine.
NPLs declined to GEL 139.8 million (down from GEL 148.8 million in Q2 2009),
representing 7.6% of the consolidated gross loans as at 30 September 2009,
compared to 7.8% in Q2 2009. 

Since the end of Q2 2009, the Bank witnessed an inflow of client deposits in
Georgia leading to a 15.3% q-o-q increase of consolidated Client Deposits during
Q3 2009 to GEL 1,182.5 million as of 30 September 2009, a 4.4% increase since Q1
2009, and nearly reaching the year-end 2008 Client Deposits of GEL 1,193.1
million. Since year-end 2008 client deposits in Georgia increased from GEL
1,045.2 million to GEL 1,057.5 million and in Ukraine decreased from GEL 127.4
million to GEL 117.1 million as of 30 September 2009. Client Deposit growth
trend continued throughout October both in Georgia and Ukraine, increasing 5.1%
month-on-month to GEL 1,111.5 million in Georgia and 2.1% month-on-month to GEL
119.6 million in Ukraine as of 31 October 2009. 

JSC Bank of Georgia (Standalone)

Bank of Georgia`s banking operations in Georgia, which are provided through JSC
Bank of Georgia, reported Q3 2009 standalone Net Income of GEL 10.8 million, as
compared to Net Income of GEL 0.9 in Q2 2009. The increase in Net Income for the
quarter was a result of the lower provisions booked by the Bank, which stood at
GEL 17.7 million on a standalone basis in Q3 2009 compared to provisions of GEL
29.6 million and GEL 24.0 million booked by the Bank in Q2 2009 and Q1 2009,
respectively. 

In Q3 2009 Total Operating Income amounted to GEL 61.5 million, down 1.3 % q-o-q
and down 13.8 % y-o-y. Net Interest Income stood at GEL 44.5 million, down 2.1%
q-o-q and down 14.6 % y-o-y, reflecting the 16.7% contraction of the standalone
gross loan book since the year-end 2008. Net Non-Interest Income amounted to GEL
17.0 million, up 1.1 % q-o-q and down 11.6% y-o-y. The q-o-q increase of Net
Non-Interest Income was mainly attributed to the 30.6% q-o-q increase of Net
Income from Documentary Operations to GEL 2.3 million, which more than offset
1.9% q-o-q decline of Net Fees and Commission Income to GEL 8.1 million, a
result of the decreased lending activity, and a 6.2% decline of the Net Foreign
Currency Related Income to GEL 6.0 million. On a standalone basis, Bank of
Georgia`s standalone Total Recurring Operating Costs increased 1.3% q-o-q to GEL
30.1 million. On a year-on-year basis, the Bank`s Total Recurring Operating
Costs in Q3 2009 decreased 10.8%, mostly due to 23.5% decrease of Personnel
Costs in Q3 2009 compared to Q3 2008. The Bank`s Net Provision Expense on a
standalone basis during the quarter reached GEL 17.7 million, attributed mostly
to the Bank`s retail banking loans. 

Bank of Georgia`s YTD 2009 Total Operating Income on a standalone basis amounted
to GEL 190.4 million down 8.9% y-o-y, a result of 4.9% y-o-y decline of Net
Interest Income to GEL 140.4 million, and 18.6% y-o-y decline of Net
Non-Interest Income to GEL 50.1 million. The decline of Net Non-Interest Income
was mostly due to 37.2% y-o-y decline of Foreign Currency Related Income to GEL
18.0 million due to decreased FX transaction volumes. The Total Recurring
Operating Costs of the Bank`s Georgian operations in the nine months 2009
declined by 5.7%, driven predominantly by 17.8% y-o-y decline of Personnel Costs
and other cost containment measures implemented by the Bank. In September 2009,
the Bank selected Temenos T24 as its new core banking software, expected to be
fully deployed in 2011. The new core banking software will centralize the Bank`s
IT functions and is expected to further increase the Bank`s operational
efficiency. 

Net Provision Expense in nine months of 2009 amounted GEL 71.3 million,
resulting in YTD 2009 standalone Net Income of GEL 23.0 million. 

As of 30 September 2009 Bank of Georgia`s Total Assets on a standalone basis
stood at GEL 2.8 billion, up 2.5% q-o-q and 1.3% y-o-y. Net Loans declined 4.6%
q-o-q to GEL 1.5 billion, down by 8.2% y-o-y. Reserve for loan losses at the end
of Q3 2009 was up 7.5 % q-o-q reaching GEL 123.4 million, with reserve on RB and
WM loan losses representing 62.5% of total Reserve for Loan Losses on a
standalone basis, down from 65.7% in Q2 2009 and up from 52.7% in Q4 2008. NPLs

an increase from the same ratio of 6.9% in Q2 2009, when the NPLs amounted to
GEL 118.7 million on a standalone basis.

"We are very pleased that in Q3 2009 we started to observe signs of improving
operating environment, which in our view is driven by positive macro economic
developments in Georgia. In our view this is a beginning of a positive long-term
trend and I am pleased that the Bank is well positioned capital-and
liquidity-wise to capture the growth opportunities which lie ahead in 2010 and
beyond. In order to stimulate demand for our loan products we are decreasing
interest rates on retail and corporate loans in Georgia in Q4 2009. At the same
time we made two rounds of interest rate cuts on retail and wealth management
time deposits, in August by 0.25-0.5% and in November by further 0.75% to 1.0%,"
