("Cellco Finance"), a Netherlands Antilles limited liability company ("naamloze vennootschap"). Cellco Finance's sole business is to issue debt securities and lend the proceeds of those debt securities to Turkcell Iletisim Hizmetleri A.S. ("Turkcell"), a joint stock company organized and existing under the laws of the Republic of Turkey. On July 23, 1998, Cellco Finance issued $300,000,000 of 15% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2005 pursuant to an Indenture dated July 23, 1998 between Cellco Finance and HSBC Bank USA (then known as Marine Midland Bank) (the "1998 Restricted Notes"). On December 22, 1999 Cellco Finance issued $400,000,000 of 12.75% Senior Notes due 2005 pursuant to an Indenture dated December 22, 1999 between Cellco Finance and HSBC Bank USA (the "1999 Restricted Notes"). Each of the 1998 Restricted Notes and 1999 Restricted Notes were offered and sold in private placements to a small number of institutions, which resold those Notes pursuant to exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") in transactions outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act and to "qualified institutional buyers" under Rule 144A under the Securities Act. Cellco Finance loaned the proceeds of the 1998 Restricted Notes and the 1999 Restricted Notes to Turkcell pursuant to a Subordinated Credit Agreement dated July 23, 1998 and a Credit Agreement dated December 22, 1999, respectively (such Credit Agreements being collectively herein called the "Credit Agreements"). Pursuant to a Registration Statement filed with the Securities and the Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and declared effective on October 13, 1999, Cellco Finance offered to exchange notes that had been registered with the SEC for the 1998 Restricted Notes. Pursuant to the exchange offer completed November 22, 1999, $285,036,000 in principal amount of Senior Subordinated Exchange Notes were issued in exchange for a like principal amount of 1998 Restricted Notes (such Senior Subordinated Exchange Notes being herein called the "1998 Exchange Notes"). Pursuant to a Registration Statement filed with the SEC and declared effective on July 10, 2000, Cellco Finance offered to exchange notes that had been registered with the SEC for the 1999 Restricted Notes. Pursuant to the exchange offer completed August 18, 2000, $385,038,000 in principal amount of Senior Exchange Notes were issued in exchange for a like principal amount of 1999 Restricted Notes (such Senior Exchange Notes being herein called the "1999 Exchange Notes" and, together with the 1998 Exchange Notes, "Exchange Notes"; the Exchange Notes, the 1998 Restricted Notes and the 1999 Restricted Notes are collectively referred to as the "Notes"). On October 8, 2003, Cellco Finance announced that the holders of almost 90% in aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 12.75% Senior Notes due 2005 have consented to the proposed redemption of 15% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2005. The redemption price was 103.75% and the redemption was made on November 10, 2003. The terms "we," "us," "our" and similar terms refer to Cellco Finance and do not include or refer to Turkcell. We do not control Turkcell. However, because our sole business is to issue debt securities and lend the proceeds of those debt securities to Turkcell and our only significant assets are claims against Turkcell under the Credit Agreements, the success of our business is dependent entirely on the success of Turkcell's business, and our business is subject to all risks and uncertainties to which Turkcell's business is subject. The financial information contained in the following discussion and analysis has been prepared and is presented in accordance with US GAAP in US dollars. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes as of December 31, 2002 and 2003, and for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003 included in the Cellco 1 Finance Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2003, and the financial statements and related notes as of December 31, 2003 and September 30, 2004, and for each of the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2004 included herein. The information as of and for each of the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2004 is not audited. Certain statements contained below, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business, are forward looking statements. The statements contained in this discussion of operating results, which are not historical facts, are forward looking statements with respect to our plans, projections or future performance, the occurrence of which involves certain risks and uncertainties. Operating Results Revenues. Our revenue consists primarily of interest and financing fees from Turkcell paid pursuant to the Credit Agreements. Revenues for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2004 amounted to $74,568,000 and $39,854,000, respectively. Expenses. Expenses consist primarily of interest paid on the Notes and taxes. Expenses for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2004 amounted to $74,568,000 and $39,854,000, respectively. Critical Accounting Policies We have prepared our financials statements assuming we will continue as a going concern; accordingly we have recorded the loans receivable and the related interest income at the full amount receivable from Turkcell. Economic developments in Turkey have had, and may continue to have, a material adverse effect on Turkcell's business, financial condition and results of operations. Should Turkcell's operating results or the Turkish economy suffer further significant declines it could result in Turkcell lacking the financial resources to repay the loans. If Turkcell were unable to repay the loans then an impairment charge would need to be recorded. Liquidity and Capital Resources We are a special purpose finance vehicle formed to issue debt instruments and lend the proceeds to Turkcell. All of our existing obligations are matched by claims on Turkcell. We do not expect to incur additional indebtedness other than to fund Turkcell's operations, and any such additional indebtedness will be matched by claims on Turkcell. At September 30, 2004, substantially all of our assets represent amounts receivable from Turkcell. Our results of operations and financial position are largely dependent upon the results of operations and financial position of Turkcell, whose operations are substantially all inside Turkey. The financial condition of Turkcell and its future operations and cash flows could be adversely affected by continued economic difficulty. Accordingly, our financial condition and our future operations and cash flows could be adversely affected by such continued economic difficulty in Turkey. Turkcell has generated positive cash flows from operations for the past years. We have continued to receive timely payments from Turkcell on our Note receivable and we believe that Turkcell will continue to be able to service its debt on a timely basis. According to the 1999 Indenture, we cannot make any principal payments on any of its indebtedness that is subordinated or junior in right of payment to the 1999 Notes prior to any scheduled final maturity. 2 The following table illustrates our major contractual obligations as of September 30, 2004.

Research and Development, Patents and Licenses We have not had any research and development activities for the last three years. We own no patents. Trend Information At September 30, 2004, substantially all of our assets represent amounts receivable from Turkcell. Our results of operations and financial position are largely dependent upon the results of operations and financial position of Turkcell, whose operations are substantially all inside Turkey. The Turkish economy has been adversely affected by the significant economic difficulties that occurred in Turkey in 2001. Despite the continued negative impact of political uncertainty and regional instability, the Turkish economy showed signs of recovery from the worst of the financial turmoil in 2001 and during 2002. Although macroeconomic indicators and consumer sentiment showed significant improvement during 2002 and 2003, the Turkish economy remains fragile. The annual inflation rates in Turkey were 29.7% and 18.4% for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003, respectively, based on the Turkish consumer price index. Annual inflation rates were 9% as of September 30, 2004 and 23% for the same period in 2003. With the help of tight monetary policy followed by the Central Bank of Turkey and 6.5% target primary budget balance required by the International Monetary Fund (the "IMF") program, inflation has decreased to single digit numbers. The current inflation target set by the Central Bank of Turkey is 12% for 2004 and 8% for 2005. The year end inflation rate for 2004was realized as 9%. Furthermore, Central Bank of Turkey announced that it will start inflation targeting starting from 2006. With adherence to the IMF program and implementation of structural reforms, inflation could be decreased to single digits, which has not been the case in Turkey for a long period of time. In addition to the IMF Program, the decision by the European Union (the "EU") on December 17, 2004 which allows Turkey to start negotiations for a full membership starting from October 3, 2005, will also be a very important factor in the success of macroeconomic policies that aims to decrease inflation. Turkish Government's efforts to engage in a new economic program with IMF lasting until 2007, acceptance of Turkey for membership negotiations with the European Union ("EU"), recovery in the purchasing power parallel with the developments such as GDP growth, decreasing inflation in line with government targets, improved distribution of wealth and growing young and technology oriented population are projected to expand the GSM penetration in the Turkish market. With the support of the encouraging outlook of the economy and the positive consumer sentiment in the market, Turkcell is expected to maintain its net cash generation trend to be sustained. 3 Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements There are no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Notes to the financial statements As of December 31, 2003 and September 30, 2004 (unaudited) and for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2004 (unaudited) (1) Activities and ownership Cellco Finance N.V. (the "Company") was incorporated on January 27, 1998 as a limited liability company under the laws of the Netherlands Antilles. The Company has its registered office at Pareraweg 45, Curacao, the Netherlands Antilles, and is registered with the trade registry of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Curacao. The authorized share capital of the Company is divided into 60,000 ordinary shares with a par value of one US Dollar each, of which 12,000 fully-paid shares have been issued. The sole shareholder is Cellco Stichting, a stichting, or foundation, organized under the laws of the Netherlands Antilles (the "Foundation"). The sole beneficiary of the Foundation is a Netherlands Antilles charitable foundation. The Foundation has a single member board of directors, consisting of Amicorp Curacao N.V., a Netherlands Antilles trust company (the "Trust Company"). The Company is managed by a Board of Managing Directors comprised of a single managing director, appointed by the General Meeting of Shareholders. The Trust Company is also the sole managing director. The Company has no officers, the managing director carries out the functions of the executive officers, consistent with the Netherlands Antilles law. The Company was formed for the purpose of issuing debt securities and lending the proceeds thereof to Turkcell Iletisim Hizmetleri A.S. ("Turkcell"). The Company issued $300,000,000 15% Senior Subordinated Notes (the "Senior Subordinated Notes") due 2005 (which was redeemed on November 10, 2003) and $400,000,000 12.75% Senior Notes (the "Senior Notes") due 2005, and entered into Issuer Credit Agreements with Turkcell, under which the proceeds of these Notes were loaned to Turkcell. The Company has conducted no operations since it was established other than the issuance of these Notes and will have no subsidiaries or significant business activities and is not expected to produce any revenues except payments received from Turkcell under the Issuer Credit Agreements and under any similar agreements which may be required upon any additional debt issuances. Pursuant to the Issuer Credit Agreements, any operating and other expenses of the Company are payable by Turkcell. Shareholders' equity consists of the following at December 31, 2003 and September 30, 2004:

The Company had no comprehensive income for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2004 (unaudited). 4 (2) Basis of preparation of financial statements The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company's year-end is December 31. These financial statements cover the nine month-period ended September 30, 2004. The comparative figures for 2003 in the statements of operations and cash flows cover the nine month-period ended September 30, 2003. The financial statements and related notes for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2004 are unaudited and in the opinion of management, such interim financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such periods. The results of operations for the nine months period ended September 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other interim period. At September 30, 2004, substantially all of the Company's assets represent amounts receivable from Turkcell. The Company's results of operations and financial position are largely dependent upon the results of operations and financial position of Turkcell, whose operations are substantially all inside Turkey. The Turkish economy has been adversely affected by the significant economic difficulties that occurred in Turkey in 2001. Despite the continued negative impact of political uncertainty and regional instability, the Turkish economy showed signs of recovery from the worst of the financial turmoil in 2001 and during 2002. Although macroeconomic indicators and consumer sentiment showed significant improvement during 2002 and 2003, the Turkish economy remains fragile. The annual inflation rates in Turkey were 29.7% and 18.4% for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003, respectively, based on the Turkish consumer price index. Annual inflation rates were 9% as of September 30, 2004 and 23% for the same period in 2003. With the help of tight monetary policy followed by the Central Bank of Turkey and 6.5% target primary budget balance required by the International Monetary Fund (the "IMF") program, inflation has decreased to single digit numbers. The current inflation target set by the Central Bank of Turkey is 12% for 2004 and 8% for 2005. The year end inflation rate for 2004 was realized as 9%. Furthermore, Central Bank of Turkey announced that it will start inflation targeting starting from 2006. With adherence to the IMF program and implementation of structural reforms, inflation could be decreased to single digits, which has not been the case in Turkey for a long period of time. In addition to the IMF Program, the decision by the European Union (the "EU") on December 17, 2004 which allows Turkey to start negotiations for a full membership starting from October 3, 2005, will also be a very important factor in the success of macroeconomic policies that aims to decrease inflation. Turkish Government's efforts to engage in a new economic program with IMF lasting until 2007, acceptance of Turkey for membership negotiations with the EU, recovery in the purchasing power parallel with the developments such as GDP growth, decreasing inflation in line with government targets, improved distribution of wealth and growing young and technology oriented population are projected to expand the GSM penetration in the Turkish market. With the support of the encouraging outlook of the economy and the positive consumer sentiment in the market, Turkcell is expected to maintain its net cash generation trend to be sustained. The Company has continued to receive timely payments from Turkcell on its Note receivable and believes that Turkcell will continue to be able to service its debt on a timely basis. (3) Summary of significant accounting policies Significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the financial statements referred to above are set out below: 5 (a) Revenue and expense recognition The accrual basis of accounting is followed for the recognition of revenue and expenses. (b) Deferred financing cost and unearned financing fees Financing costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the Notes, which were recharged by the Company to Turkcell, are deferred and are amortized over the terms of the Notes as an adjustment to financing fee income and financing costs. Other costs relating to the issuance of the Notes are paid directly by Turkcell. (c) Income taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. (d) Earnings per share The Company adopted SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share". In accordance with this statement, basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted averaged number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share do not differ from basic earnings per share, as the Company has no common stock equivalents. (e) Foreign currency transactions Transactions denominated in currencies other than US Dollar are recorded at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transactions. Assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than US Dollar are converted into US Dollar at the exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet date with the resulting exchange differences recognized in the determination of income. (4) Fair value of financial instruments The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, loans receivable and notes payable. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value: Cash and cash equivalents The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. 6 Loans receivable and notes payable The fair values of loans receivable and notes are estimated based on the quoted market prices. The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments are as follows:

(5) Loans receivable, accrued interest receivable, notes payable, accrued interest payable and premium on redemption of notes. 12.75% Senior Notes due 2005 The Company issued $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 12.75% Senior Notes due 2005 on December 22, 1999. Under an Issuer Credit Agreement dated December 22, 1999, the Company has loaned to Turkcell US$400,000,000 net of financing fees. Turkcell and the Company have agreed, for the benefit of all holders of the Senior Notes, that, after the issuance of the Senior Notes, they will file a registration statement to register exchange offer under the Securities Act of 1933 for 12.75% Senior Notes of the Company (the "Senior Notes"). A registration statement for the exchange offer was declared effective on July 11, 2000 and completed on August 14, 2000. Principal, maturity and interest: The Senior Notes are limited in aggregate amount to $500,000,000, $400,000,000 of which was issued in the offering, and $100,000,000 of which may be offered from time to time in the future. In the event of such a future offering, the notes offered thereby would have the same terms as the Senior Notes. The Senior Notes mature at par on August 1, 2005. Interest accrues at the rate of 12.75% per annum from their date of original issuance and is payable semi-annually on each February 1 and August 1 commencing on February 1, 2000, to the registered holders at the close of business on the preceding January 15 and July 15. Redemption: The Senior Notes may be redeemed, in whole, at the Company's option, upon 30 to 60 days' notice at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued interest to the redemption date, if any, if, as a result of any amendment to, or change in, the laws (or any rules or regulations thereunder) of Netherlands Antilles or the Republic of Turkey or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein. 7 Security: The payment of all obligations under the Issuer Credit Agreement dated December 22, 1999 is senior in right of payment to the prior payment of all obligations on subordinated indebtedness of Turkcell. Covenants: The governing Indenture contains certain customary covenants that limit the ability of the Company and Turkcell and its consolidated and unconsolidated subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make certain other restricted payments, consummate certain asset sales, enter into certain transactions with related parties, incur liens, impose restrictions on the ability of a subsidiary to pay dividends, undergo a change in control, or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the assets of Turkcell and its consolidated subsidiaries or the Company. (6) Taxes on income The Company is subject to taxation in the Netherlands Antilles based on the Profit Tax Ordinance and a tax ruling obtained from the Tax Inspector of Netherlands Antilles. In accordance with such tax ruling, the Company's taxable income is equal to 1% of the average daily principal amount of the notes outstanding during the period. A rate of 0.5% is applicable for average daily principal amount of notes outstanding in excess of $80,000,000. (7) Management agreement On January 27, 1998, the Company signed a management agreement with Amicorp Curacao N.V., a Netherlands Antilles trust company. Under this agreement, Amicorp Curacao N.V. shall be managing director of the Company and will be responsible for the operations of the Company. 8 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
