statements and, as such, are based on the managements current expectations and

The financial information as of the fourth quarter 2006 and the year ended 31
December 2006 contained in this news report is unaudited and reflects the best
estimates of management. The bank's actual results may differ significantly from
the amounts reflected herein as a result of various factors.
Bank of Georgia (LSE: BGEO, GSE: GEB), a leading Georgian universal bank,
announced today its Q4 2006 and full-year 2006 consolidated results (IFRS Based,
unaudited, derived from management accounts), reporting record Net Income of GEL
10.3 million in Q4 2006 (up 113% y-o-y), or GEL 0.55 per share (up 2% y-o-y).
For the full year 2006, the bank reported a record Net Income of GEL 27.6
million in 2006 (up 102% y-o-y), or GEL 1.67 per share (up 47% y-o-y).
Q4 2006 Summary
The bank's Q4 2006 Normalized Net Operating Income ('NNOI'), a key metric
observed by the management, increased 139% y-o-y to GEL 23.0 million, driven by
Net Interest Income of GEL 26.2 million, (up 122% y-o-y) and Net Non-Interest
Income of GEL 14.0 million (up 81% y-o-y). Pre-Bonus Result ('PBR'), another key
metric observed by the management, grew 149% y-o-y to GEL 17.5 million in Q4
2006.
Full-Year 2006 Summary
On a full year 2006 basis, the bank reported strong consolidated results with a
record Net Income of GEL 27.6 million, up 102% y-o-y. Revenue grew 75% y-o-y to
GEL 111.1 million, driven by a 74% increase y-o-y of Net Interest Income and a
76% increase y-o-y of Net Non-Interest Income, and more than offset the 56%
y-o-y growth of Recurring Operating Costs to GEL 49.6 million. As a result of
the improved operating leverage, NNOI grew 94% y-o-y to GEL 61.5 million. PBR
grew 95% y-o-y to a record GEL 46.1 million due to Net Non-Recurring Cost
containment and modest growth of Cost of Credit (2.9% in 2006 vs. 2.5% in 2005).
BCI and Galt & Taggart Securities, the key wholly-owned subsidiaries of the
bank, generated standalone Net Income of GEL 0.8 million and GEL 1.8 million,
respectively.
The bank's consolidated Total Assets reached GEL 1.2 billion by the year end
2006, up 169% y-o-y, with the bank overtaking in October 2006 the former leader
to become the largest Georgian bank by assets (as well as by loans and equity).
The bank's corporate, retail and private banking Gross Loans To Clients grew by
129%, 131% and 172% y-o-y, respectively, to GEL 409.2 million, GEL 281.6 million
and GEL 23.0 million, respectively, contributing to the 137% y-o-y growth of Net
Loans To Clients to GEL 714.2 million, up 137%. The balance sheet growth in 2006
resulted in an approximately 10% market share gain by assets and approximately
8% market share gain by gross loans, resulting in the market share of
approximately 28% and 27% by total assets and gross loans, respectively, at the
year end.(8) The bank's non-deposit funding base grew 347% y-o-y to GEL 223.5
million at the year end, which includes the debt funding raised from Citigroup,
Merrill Lynch, Thames River Capital, HBK Investments and World Business Capital,
among others. Client Deposits (GEL 579.2 million at the year end) increased by
115% y-o-y, contributing to a 5.5 % market share gain by total deposits.
Rapid growth across the board throughout the year, as well as the effect of the
equity increase following the listing of Bank of Georgia shares in the form of
GDRs on the London Stock Exchange in November 2006, resulted in ROAE of 17.1%
for the year, while ROAA remained flat compared at 3.5%. The equity book value
per share stood at GEL 14.8 at the year end, up 137% y-o-y.

Bank of Georgia (www.nbg.gov.ge) and represent an aggregation of standalone
financial information filed by Georgian banks.
Strategic Business Unit Overview
Corporate & Investment Banking (CIB)
Discussion Of Results
Allocated Revenues grew 58% y-o-y, impacted by the growth in Net Interest Income
and Net Non Interest Income. Operating leverage of CIB has improved, as the
growth rate of allocated Costs (13% y-o-y, driven primarily by the headcount
expansion and higher performance-based compensation) lagged the allocated
Revenues. Net Loans grew 133% y-o-y to GEL 394.2 million, driven by increased
lending to high-end corporates and rapid growth of the SME loan book. Client
Deposits grew 154% y-o-y to GEL 295.1 million.
Highlights
-- Won the tender to service the Tbilisi municipal government account on an
exclusive basis. The Tbilisi municipal budget was approximately GEL 470
million last year, making it one of the top corporate/government clients
in the country.

account. Millennium Challenge is a US government structured aid program
with approximately US$300 million earmarked over a five-year period for
various infrastructure-related and reform-enhancing projects in Georgia.

Airport terminal construction project, executed on a BOT basis by TAV

services to over 480. At the year end, approximately 83,500 individual
clients were serviced through the corporate payroll programs
administered by the bank.
Retail Banking (RB)
Discussion Of Results
Allocated Revenues grew 74% y-o-y, impacted by the growth in Net Interest Income
and Net Non Interest Income. Operating leverage of RB has improved, as the
growth rate of allocated Costs (57% y-o-y, driven primarily by the branch and
headcount expansion and higher performance-based compensation) lagged the
allocated Revenues. Net Loans grew 135% y-o-y to GEL 271.1 million, while Client
Deposits grew 43% y-o-y to GEL 205.7 million, driven primarily by the growth of
Current Account Balances and Demand Deposits.
Highlights
-- Increased the number of retail current accounts from 141,000 at the
beginning of the year to more than 415,000 at the year end.
-- Launched several important client acquisition initiatives, including
co-branded loyalty debit card products jointly with Aversi, the leading
pharmacy chain, GeoCell, a leading mobile operator, and Populi, the
leading branded grocery store chain.
-- Increased the number of branches (service centers) from 56 at the
beginning of the year to 99 at the year end, including 11 branches
acquired from Intellect Bank and 23 branches opened in all stations of
the Tbilisi Metro (subway).
-- Increased the number of debit cards outstanding from 63,000 at the
beginning of the year to 285,000 at the year end and continued to make
gains in merchant acquiring as the installed POS footprint grew to 471.
Total number of cards in service by Georgian Card grew from 91,000 at
the beginning of the year to 370,000 at the year end, while the number
of transaction authorisations processed by Georgian Card grew 400% y-o-y
to approximately 8.0 million (compared to approximately 1.6 million in

grew to 124 at the year end (up from 37 at the beginning of the year),
number of mobile banking users reached 13,700, and number of registered
Internet banking users grew 776% y-o-y to 37,377.
-- Commenced point-of-sale (POS) consumer lending effort to complement the
branch-based general-purpose consumer lending, installing 89 points of
presence on the retailers' premises by year-end. POS loan originations
of GEL 31.0 million in 2006 resulted in POS loans outstanding of GEL

loans outstanding at the year end of GEL 64.5 million, up 96% from the
prior year.

Insurance
Discussion Of Results
Standalone Revenues of BCI, the bank's wholly-owned insurance subsidiary, grew
44% y-o-y, impacted by the growth in both corporate and consumer lines of
business, with standalone Gross Premiums Written up 28% y-o-y to GEL 10.1
million. Standalone Operating Costs were GEL 4.1 million, up 37% y-o-y, and
standalone Net Claims Incurred were GEL 2.0 million, up 157% y-o-y, reflecting
the growth of the business.
Highlights
-- Completed the integration of the business of Europace, the insurance
company acquired in November 2005.
-- Acquired in December 2006 Aldagi, a leading insurance company in
Georgia. Total consideration was GEL 13.2 million, or approximately 0.94
times Aldagi's Gross Premiums Written in 2006. The pro forma market
share of BCI and Aldagi by Gross Premiums Written in 2006 exceeded 40%.
Due to the fact that Aldagi was acquired substantially in December, its
effect on the results on Insurance operations was immaterial.
-- Launched Chemebi, the umbrella brand for all consumer lines of business.
Asset & Wealth Management (A&WM)
Discussion Of Results(9)
Allocated Revenues grew 217% y-o-y, impacted by the growth of Net Interest
Income (driven primarily by the growth of the Private Banking loan book) and Net
Non Interest Income (driven primarily by the 368% y-o-y growth of standalone
Revenues of Galt & Taggart Securities (Georgia)), to GEL 5.2 million. The growth
of standalone Revenues of Galt & Taggart Securities (Georgia) was driven
primarily by Commissions From Brokerage (GEL 1.6 million, up 239% y-o-y), Gains
From Trading Securities (GEL 0.6 million, up 2,656% y-o-y), and Asset Management
& Administration Fees (GEL 0.5 million, up 1,219% y-o-y). Allocated Costs grew
255% y-o-y, impacted primarily by the consolidation of Galt & Taggart Capital
and its portfolio companies into A&WM, growth of standalone Recurring Operating
Costs of Galt & Taggart Securities due to headcount growth and higher
performance-based and other compensation, and growth in Commissions, Depository
and Stock Exchange Fees at Galt & Taggart Securities (Georgia) due to the growth
of the brokerage volume of business, while allocated Private Banking Costs of
GEL 1.1 million were up 11% y-o-y. As the earnings contribution of Private
Banking and Galt & Taggart Securities (Georgia) were offset by the consolidated
loss of Galt & Taggart Capital (and certain portfolio companies), impacted
primarily by the start-up costs of the business, while the BCI Pension Fund had
negligible impact on earnings, allocated Net Income of A&WM was GEL 0.5 million.
(9) In 2006, A&WM comprised Private Banking, Galt & Taggart Securities
(Georgia), the asset management activities related to the BCI pension fund and
Galt & Taggart Capital.
Highlights
-- The number of Private Banking clients grew from 460 at the beginning of
the year to 873 at the year end.
-- Private Banking Client Deposits grew 567% y-o-y to GEL 65.4 million at
the year end, driven primarily by the growth of Current Account Balances
and Time Deposits.
-- Private Banking mortgage loan originations of GEL 13.9 million resulted
in mortgage loans outstanding at the year-end of GEL 17.3 million, up
248% from the prior year.
-- Private Banking car loan originations of GEL 2.8 million resulted in car
loans outstanding at the year-end of GEL 2.3 million, up 672% from the
prior year.
-- Galt & Taggart Securities (Ukraine) obtained the requisite licenses and
commenced operations in November 2006.
-- Assets Under Custody at Galt & Taggart Securities (Georgia) grew 391%
y-o-y to GEL 339 million at the year end.
-- The share of trading volume on the Georgian Stock Exchanges and OTC of
Galt & Taggart Securities (Georgia) in 2006 was 90%, up from 43% in
2005.
-- Assets Under Management at the BCI Pension Fund grew 298% y-o-y to GEL
0.5 million at the year end, while the number of BCI Pension Fund
members grew from 1,049 at the beginning of the year to 2,154 at the end
of the year.
-- Galt & Taggart Capital raised GEL 6.2 million through a placement of
ordinary shares and was admitted to trading on the Georgian Stock
Exchange in November 2006.
-- Named the best brokerage house in Georgia by the Foreign Exchange
Association of Georgia
Comments
'In 2006, we continued to expand our business through a combination of organic
growth, development of alternative distribution channels and selected
acquisitions. We opened a record number of branches, gained over 250,000 new
retail clients, expanded our coverage of corporate clients and continued to
invest in our technology and people. In 2006, we achieved a number of
significant milestones: became the first Georgian company to have been listed on
the main market of the London Stock Exchange; became the first Georgian entity
to have been rated by all three major rating agencies; expanded into Ukraine
through the establishment of Galt & Taggart Securities (Ukraine) and purchase of
a small stake in a Ukrainian bank; and entered the merchant banking business
through the establishment of Galt & Taggart Capital. I am pleased that our
progress has been noticed, as both Euromoney and The Banker named us the bank of
the year in Georgia in 2006. Above all, I am delighted that we were able to grow
our Basic EPS 47% y-o-y to GEL 1.67', said Lado Gurgenidze, Chairman of the
Supervisory Board.
Commenting on 2007, Gurgenidze added, 'our 2007 objectives are clear: continuing
to invest in all areas of our domestic franchise to sustain growth, while
remaining highly disciplined in credit management, continuing our regional
expansion through selective acquisitions and investments in Ukraine and
elsewhere, and keeping a keen eye on the expansion-driven growth of our cost
base to ensure that we operate as effectively and efficiently as possible during
the current high-growth phase'.
