  • +12.8% growth in consolidated Net Banking Income to MAD 2.8 bn, versus
    +9.5% in aggregated activity. This growth differential resulted from the
    positive performance of the group's subsidiaries, Salafin, BMCE Capital
    Bourse and BMCE Capital Gestion.



  • +10.4% increase in consolidated Gross Operating Income to MAD 1.23 bn,
    versus a -8% decrease for the aggregated activity, due to the important

    aggregated activity.

EXTRACT FROM THE GENERAL REPORT OF THE STATUTORY AUDITORS FISCAL YEAR FROM JANUARY 1ST TO DECEMBER 31, 2004

                   (Free translation of the French original)

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of 'Banque Marocaine du
Commerce Exterieur' ('BMCE-bank') as of December 31, 2004, consisting of the
consolidated balance sheet and off-balance sheet commitments, the consolidated
income statement, the consolidated management balances statement and the
accompanying notes for the year then ended. These consolidated financial
statements have been prepared under the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audit.



We conducted our audit in accordance with the Moroccan standards on auditing.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatements. 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 the
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our audit opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to in the first
paragraph present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
both 'BMCE BANK' and the subsidiaries included in the consolidated statements as
of December 31st , 2004 as well as the consolidated result of its operations for
the year then ended, in accordance with the generally accepted accounting
principles and by reference to the Moroccan bank accounting plan.



Without qualifying our opinion above, we draw your attention to the fact that
the identified risks which were covered until December 31, 2004 by the allowance
for general risks (which had been constituted from the distributable income for
MMAD 150), have been cleared in 2004 either through the bookkeeping of specific
allowances or through loss recognition. Therefore, the allowance for general
risks is now considered as equity.

APPENDIX TO THE CONSOLIDATED ACCOUNTS



NOTES 1

MAIN RUIES FOR EVALUATING AND PRESENTING CONSOLIDATED ACCOUNTS

The consolidated accounts of BMCE Bank Group for fiscal 2004 are presented in
accordance with the provisions of the new Credit Institutions Accounting
Standards (PCEC).



The consolidated accounts contain the accounts of BMCE Bank and those of the
main Moroccan and foreign subsidiaries composing BMCE Bank Group. The accounts
of the Moroccan subsidiaries are drawn up according to the rules and valuation
methods of the PCEC. The accounts of the foreign subsidiary BMCE INTERNATIONAL
and the BANQUE DU DEVELOPPEMENT DU MALI have been drawn up in accordance with
the accounting rules in the country of origin, the necessary restatements and
reclassifications have been carried out in order to make them compliant with the
principles of BMCE BANK Group (refer to presentation note of the individual
accounts).



PRINCIPLES AND METHODS OF CONSOLIDATION



The consolidated accounts are drawn up from the individual annual accounts of
BMCE BANK (aggregated accounts including the accounts for domestic activity, and
those of the Paris and Banque Offshore) and subsidiaries controlled by it or
over which the Group exerts notable influence.



The methods of consolidation applied are the following:



FULL CONSOLIDATION



This method is applied to financial companies controlled exclusively, including
those whose activity is an extension of banking activities.



Exclusive control of a subsidiary is assessed by the power to direct financial
and operational policies. It results:



-   From holding directly or indirectly the majority of voting rights in the
subsidiary;



-   Or from the appointment for two successive fiscal years of the majority of
the members of the subsidiary's administrative, management or supervisory
bodies.



Control is presumed as soon as BMCE BANK holds more than 40% of the subsidiary's
voting rights and no other partner holds directly on indirectly a percentage
greater than its own, in accordance with the thresholds set out by the Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles in Morocco.



-   Or from the power to exert a dominant influence over the subsidiary,
pursuant to a contract or statutory clauses. A dominant influence exists when
the Group has the possibility to use or orientate the use of the assets,
liabilities or off-balance sheet Commitments in the same way as it controls the
same type of elements in the subsidiaries under its exclusive control.



EQUITY METHOD



Companies in which the Group exerts a notable influence, namely equity holdings
in which the percentage of control ranges from 20% to 40% are equity companies.
Notable influence is the power to take part in financial and operational
policies of a subsidiary without controlling it.



Certain equity holdings, meeting the criteria defined above and whose importance
in terms of the consolidated accounts is not significant, have not been
consolidated (refer to Note 2).



METHOD OF TRANSLATION OF THE ACCOUNTS IN FOREIGN CURRENCIES



Expressed in Euro, BMCE Intemational's balance sheet and off-balance sheet
commitments are converted on the basis of closing prices. The items of the
Income Statement

are converted on the basis of the average exchange rate for the fiscal year.
Equity capital is valued at the historical rate. The conversion difference
between the closing rate and the historical rate constitutes an exchange
adjustment recorded in consolidated equity capital.



MAIN ADJUSTMENTS



The main adjustments carried out to draw up the consolidated accounts concern
the following items:



GOODWILL ON ACQUISITION



The item 'Goodwill on Acquisition' shown either in the assets or in the
liabilities, represents the balance of the goodwill not appropriated to a
balance sheet item, recognised on the date of acquisition of the consolidated
securities between the cost price and the corresponding share of net worth. This
goodwill is amortised over a set period depending on the nature of the activity
of the company acquired, the assumptions used and the objectives set when it was
acquired.



The amortisation is over a period of 10 years.



LEASING AND RENTAL



This heading includes leasing, lease purchase or equivalent and simple rental.
The rental operations assimilated to leasing are those operations having the
purpose of financing goods for which the lesser does not have the intention of
maintaining ownership at the end of the lease.



Operations of leasing and lease purchase or equivalent are recorded in the
consolidated balance sheet for amounts determined according to financial
accounting, that is for the total amount of rents receivable, less interests
included in these rents. These amounts are substituted for those which are
determined according to fiscal rules and the inner reserve is recorded in the
consolidated reserves for an amount net of deferred taxes.



Accrued interest included in the rents to fall due is recorded in an account
applied per a contra account to the income statement. The method of provisioning
the operations of leasing and equivalent is identical to that for loans to
credit institutions and customers.



ELIMINATION OF INTRA-GROUP ENTRIES



All the operations between the companies of the fully consolidated entity and
which have a significant effect on the balance sheet, off-balance sheet
commitments and Income Statement have been eliminated.



These eliminations concern two categories of operation:



•   Those which affect the consolidated profit or consolidated reserves (in
particular internal dividends)



•   and those which does not affect them (reciprocal accounts of the balance
sheet and of the Income Statement).



ELIMINATION OF FISCAL PROVISION



For each consolidated subsidiary, all the provisions designed to reduce the tax
burden (deferred taxation operations) have been eliminated, for example,
provisions for investment, for staff housing and derogatory depreciation.



TAX EXPENSES



Current tax



The normal corporate tax rate is 39.6% on profit in Morocco excluding Banque
Offshore, whose activity was exempt from tax until 12/31/2001. Starting from
January 1st, 2002, this entity is subject to the tax system applied to Off shore
Banks i.e., a waiver of 25,000 $.



The Paris Main Branch is subject to corporate tax according to the rules and
rates applicable in France where the normal rate is 33.33%.



As regards tax on subsidiaries, aside from insurance companies where the rate is
identical to that for the banking sector, the corporate tax rate is 35%.



Deferred tax



Deferred tax is entered into the accounts when a temporary difference is
identified between the adjusted book values and the fiscal values of the balance
settlements. This method is used according to which the deferred tax recognised
during previous years is modified when there is a change in the tax rate and
taking account of the scope. The corresponding effect is recorded by the
increase or reduction of the deferred tax expense.



Social Commitments



The vacation pay provisions, which are not recorded in the individual accounts,
are restated in the consolidated accounts.
