compared to the prior year.

Total assets increased

while the bank’s strong liquidity was highlighted by its loan to
deposit ratio of 78% (FY2009: 81%).

Successful cost control
resulted in a reduction in the Banca Transilvania cost-income ratio
to 48% from 55% in the year ago period.

Less positive was a 22%
increase in provisions to RON640m.

Robert Rekkers, CEO of
Banca Transilvania, said:

challenges in an uncertain economic climate nationally and
internationally.
