INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Pastor International Capital, which comprise the balance sheet as at December 31, 2006, and the statements of operations and cash flows for the year then ended (all expressed in Euros), and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes.
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. This responsibility includes: designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Pastor International Capital as of December 31, 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Notes to financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006 (expressed in Euros)
Pastor International Capital (the "Company") was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on February 18, 1998, in accordance with the country's current legislation. The Company's registered office is at Ugland House, P.O. Box 309, George Town, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands.
The Company engages in the raising of funds through bond issuances and investing the funds generated from such issuances.
Banco Pastor, S.A. (the "Parent"), owns 100% of the capital stock of the Company and is the Company's sole shareholder. The administrative and management services were performed by the Board of Directors.
The Company has completed two issuances of Subordinated Notes. The first issuance is divided into two series i issued on the following dates: December 1999 and March 2000. These two series issuances were closed on March 31, 2005. The second issuance consists of one series completed during December 2001 (Note 6).
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared from the Company's accounting records. These financial statements were approved by the Directors on June 30, 2007.
The financial statements were prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards.
The most significant accounting principles and valuation methods applied in preparing the accompanying financial statements are as follows:
Subordinated notes issuances are initially recognised at fair value. Subsequently, they are measured at amortised cost, calculated in accordance with the effective interest rate method.
Revenues and expenses are recognised on the accrual basis.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
The Company's functional currency is the euro. Consequently, all balances and transactions denominated in non-euro currencies are considered to be denominated in "foreign currency". Balances expressed in United States dollars ("US\$") were translated from US\$ at the year-end exchange rate prevailing on the spot foreign currency market. The net income/loss disclosed from this valuation was recorded under the "Other operating expenses" caption in the accompanying statement of operations.
Balances in the annual accounts are translated into euros as follows:
The exchange rates applied by the Company in translating foreign currency balances when preparing these annual accounts were the average official (fixing) rates published by the European Central Bank for the spot currency market on the last trading day of the year.
Exchange differences arising when foreign currency balances are translated into the functional currency are generally recognised in the statements of operations. Exchange differences arising in non-cash items whose changes in fair value are recognised against a balancing entry in equity are recognised in "Shareholder's equity $-$ exchange differences" on the balance sheet, until the differences are realised.
During 2005, the Company exercised its right of early redemption for both series of subordinated debt, after receiving authorization by the Bank of Spain.
Consequently, the Company started to make the majority of its transactions in euros and obtained most of its funding from financial activities in euros. As a consequence of this change in transactions and according to the current standard, the Company, from January 1, 2006, changed its functional currency from US\$ to euros prospectively.
The annual accounts for the year ended on December 31, 2006 are expressed in euros, meanwhile, the annual accounts for the year ended on December 31, 2005, formulated by the Company Administrators, were expressed in US\$.
The information on 2005 contained in these financial statements is presented in euros, purely for the purpose of comparison with 2006 and does not constitute the annual accounts of the Company for 2005.
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit (loss) attributable to equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the year, excluding the average number of ordinary shares purchased by the Company and held as treasury shares.
6
Basic earnings per share are therefore determined as follows:
| 2006 | 2005 | |
|---|---|---|
| Net (loss) profit for the year $(EUR)$ | (14, 017) | |
| Weighted average number of shares outstanding Weighted average number of treasury shares |

Interest income earned in connection with the above deposits is recognised on the accrual basis under the "Interest income" caption of the accompanying statement of operations."
Interest income accrued in relation to the above deposits, which remained unpaid as of December 31, 2006, is recorded as "Accrued interest receivable" in the accompanying balance sheet.
As of December 31, 2006, the Company's capital stock consists of 50,000 shares of US \$1 par value each, which were issued on February 18, 1998, for a total of US \$50,000. Shares of the Company's capital stock are not eligible to be quoted in organised secondary markets.
During June 1998, the Company entered into a Euro Medium Term Note Programme (the "Programme") where the Company may from time to time issue "Senior Notes" and the Company may from time to time issue subordinated notes ("Subordinated Notes"). For the Euro Medium Term Note Programme, the Company is the issuer, Banco Pastor, S.A. is the guarantor and other independent entities are the agents. The Programme totals US \$1,000,000,000, which will be issued in series. The Subordinated Notes are non-convertible and can be denominated in different currencies. This Programme was renewed in June 2000.
On December 21, 1999, the Company launched an issue of 135,000 (increasable to 200,000) Subordinated Notes of € 600 face value each, from the above mentioned Programme. The Subordinated Notes in this issue were divided into two different series.
The Company exercised its right of early redemption for this issue of subordinated debt (both series) on March 31, 2005, after receiving authorisation by the Bank of Spain.

The Parent has guaranteed the Subordinated Notes issued by the Company. To cover the risk assumed by the Parent, the Company has pledged its term deposits with the Parent as collateral, which amount to $\in$ 60,000,000 (Note 4) as of December 31, 2006 ( $€60,000,000$ as of December 31, 2005).
There are no local income, profits or capital gains taxes levied in the Cayman Islands at the present time. The Company obtained a tax exemption certificate on June 2, 1998 from the Cayman Island Government for a period of twenty years.
For the year ending December 31, 2006, expenses relating to the Subordinated Notes issue were as follows:

Interest income is wholly comprised of interest earned on the time deposits of the Company with its Parent.
The Company has not granted its Directors any loans or advance payments, nor has the Company been a party to any commitment regarding pecuniary amounts, life insurance or any other type of special indemnity or benefit. The Company's Board of Directors did not receive any salaries or similar compensation for the years ended December 31, 2006 or 2005.
For all bonds issued by the Company, deposits are held at the Parent with the same maturities as the Subordinated Notes issued, in the same currency and with a margin of 3.99% to enable the Company's administrative expenses to be covered. Additionally, in the opinion of management the matching effectively mitigates the risk.
