3 01 INTRODUCTION Colors gain meaning and importance when the light reaches our eyes. Human visual perception for color varies depending on the reflection points of the light during its journey starting from its real source, the sun. The sun, the leading actor in the emerged unique color spectrum, is also known as the most important source of life. Even though the main source of the colors is the light emitted by the sun, this power is not sufficient to create a color spectrum. Reflection power of the surfaces improves the glory and variety of the colors. The more the refraction strengthens, the more the glory of the colors improves. Doğuş Group draws its strength from its stakeholders in the same manner as the colors draw their main strength from the sun. The Group reflects this light on seven different sectors, each of which put their sign under successful investments individually. All Group companies contribute to the formation of a glorious color spectrum by adding a separate value through their strong positions in their sectors. Doğuş Group Annual Report 2012

16 Doğuş Group Corporate Risk Management and Internal Audit Doğuş Group acts proactively in terms of risk management in order to ensure that its business operations in different industries and regions are not adversely affected as a result of market, operational, liquidity and/or counterparty risks. Risk Management and Internal Audit departments within each sector and at the Group level provide and maintain awareness for different types of risks, including emerging risks, and ensure that appropriate risk management mechanisms are in place. In 2012, policy actions lowered the acute crisis risks in the Euro area and the United States. Global growth is projected to increase during 2013, as the factors underlying soft global activity are expected to cool down. While Japan has slid into recession, stimulus there is expected to boost growth in the near term. At the same time, policies have supported a modest growth pickup in some emerging market economies while others continue to struggle with weak external demand and domestic bottlenecks. If crisis risks do not materialize and financial conditions continue to improve, global growth could be stronger than projected. However, downside risks remain significant as a result of renewed setbacks in the Euro area and risks of excessive near-term fiscal consolidation in the United States. Undoubtedly, global financial risk experiences in the last several years, as well as other catastrophic events, have made effective risk management mechanisms crucial. Increasing scrutiny, as well as a push for stronger governance coming from not only regulatory bodies but also the investing community, make it essential for companies to have in place solid risk management and control systems to ensure viability and sustainable growth. Doğuş Group, with diverse business operations in different regions and countries, has already been cognizant of its need to monitor and manage various risks, including not only its strategic, business and operation risks but external risks as well. As for Doğuş Group s risk management activities in 2012, it was a successful year in terms of maintaining and improving risk management practices, both at the Group level and at the Company level, and enhancing the risk culture across the Group. Risk Committee meetings are held on a regular basis and generate valuable and relevant risk information which is discussed and escalated if deemed necessary. The Doğuş Holding Risk Management Department established the Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) system in 2006 in line with the aforementioned approach. Risks are managed on a daily basis by all levels of management in each of the subsidiaries, and supporting risk management activities such as providing a framework for related guidance and reporting mechanisms are conducted by the risk function teams. In accordance with the Group Risk Committee decision in 2010, Group companies began creating their own Risk Management departments. Today, the Group Risk Management Function works even more closely with the company Risk Management departments in order to strengthen the standardized ERM system and obtain sound and timely information for assessing and evaluating the decision making processes. In addition to establishing an independent reporting infrastructure for companies, group-wide awareness for different types of risks and risk management strategies is ensured by periodical risk roundtables, workshops, dashboards and reports throughout the organization. 14
17 15 ERM is applied in all Group companies so that all risks are managed effectively within the Group in accordance with the defined risk management strategy, framework, and risk model. ERM is implemented based on an internal framework employing internationally accepted standards and best practices from around the world. This framework is customized according to the needs and structure of Group s businesses. Each sector has its own risk committee. The Risk and Audit Committee, which functions under the Board of Directors, is also responsible for assessing risks and proposing appropriate solutions according to risk appetite of shareholders.

20 Doğuş Group Message from the Chairman Doğuş Group will continue to do its best in seeking ways to further contribute to the Turkish economy. I sincerely believe that Turkey s enabling and promising business environment will attract even more interest from global investors. 18 The global economy managed to navigate another challenging year, especially with respect to the continued macroeconomic problems faced by developed countries, many of which suffer from policy ineffectiveness in reviving economic growth. Contrastingly, the Turkish economy experienced a more successful soft landing in 2012 after churning out record-high growth rates in preceding years. Well-targeted and tailormade policies and their effective implementation significantly improved the country s external balance on goods and services while increasing employment. In fact, the Turkish economy created more than one million new jobs last year. Moreover, for the first time, the current account deficit was reduced by effective policy management. Turkey s proven success in proactive and effective policy making has further boosted investor confidence. Impressive economic transformation of the country has been reshaping the business climate. We, as Doğuş Group, are also determined to contribute to and take part in the promising future of Turkey s economy. In this regard, the investment boom that Doğuş Group has been experiencing over the last few years in terms of new initiatives, mergers and acquisitions, partnerships, and projects gained further momentum in Highlights of such activity include: In the entertainment sector, we established a new company
21 19 called D.ream (Doğuş Restaurant Entertainment and Management) and formed partnerships with various restaurant brands in Turkey and abroad. D.ream has begun creating a portfolio of brands including Doors Group, Azumi Group (which owns the Zuma and Roka restaurant brands), Nusr-Et Steakhouse, Armani Ristorante, GQ Bar, Go Mongo, Mezzaluna and Lacivert Restaurant. We signed an agreement with the highly respected global sports, fashion and entertainment company, IMG Worldwide Inc. to form a joint venture in Turkey, IMG-Doğuş. Our investments into Internet, marketing and e-commerce continued in line with the strong growth of the Turkish Internet market. We became strategic partners with SK Group, one of the largest conglomerates in South Korea, and jointly launched an open market e-commerce platform, n11.com, which joined our portfolio of successful Internet platforms such as bonubon.com, enmoda.com and oley.com. Our partnership with euro.message - Related Group, which is one of the leading e-marketing platforms in the EMEA region was another important step we took in We entered the agriculture sector, which we believe offers huge potential and great strategic value. In this regard, not only did we establish an agricultural R&D company, but we also have been supporting the establishment of a new Agricultural Science and Technology Faculty at Niğde University with a view to creating synergies between agribusiness, R&D and education proved a very successful and productive year also for our pre-existing business lines. Landmark developments include the following: Garanti Bank, not only differentiating itself with its business model which underscores its sustainable growth strategy but also reinforcing itself with its state-of-the-art technology and innovative approach to banking, realized healthy market share gains in many areas. Doğuş Otomotiv performed outstandingly well, increasing its market share despite contraction in the automotive market. Doğuş Construction successfully completed three important projects: Boyabat Dam and HEPP in Turkey, Kiev Boryspil International Airport in Ukraine, and Sofia Metro in Bulgaria. Doğuş Media Group maintained its strategic expansion with Star TV becoming the number one channel in prime time for the first time in 10 years and with the launch of Tvyo as a premium video on demand portal, cnbce.com as a business and economy portal, and GQ Turkey magazine. In the tourism and services sector, we completed the renovation of our hotels within Doğuş Tourism Group and further extended our operations abroad. In addition, Doğuş Retail Group extended its portfolio by adding new brands and opening new stores in In our marina business, we kept in line with our strategic target of offering a distinguished global network of premium marina destinations in the Eastern Mediterranean and Adriatic Sea. In 2012, we entered into partnerships with Lamda Development and Kiriacoulis Mediterranean Cruises Shipping, resulting in the addition of a world class superyacht marina (Flisvos Marina) as well as three other premium marinas in Greece (Gouvia, Lefkas and Zea) to D-Marin s portfolio. We also expanded our investments in Croatia in 2012 with the acquisitions of D-Marin Dalmacija and Borik. Furthermore, we acquired the remaining shares of D-Marin Mandalina and, as a consequence, D-Marin Marinas Group became 100% owner of three marinas in Croatia. As another example of the Company s commitment to the region, D-Marin also acquired 6.92% of Adriatic Croatia International (ACI), the largest chain of marinas in the Mediterranean with 21 marinas. As a result of these new acquisitions, D-Marin s total yacht capacity in three countries increased to nearly 9,000. The strong performance of both D-Gym and D-Life Healthy Living and Detox Center in 2012 prompted us to extend our operations in this sector. The license agreement we signed with Henri Chenot, one of the leading medical spa brands in the world, was also another important initiative of our Group in this sector in the past year. The first step of this agreement will be the opening of a Detox and Spa Center in Cennet Koyu, Bodrum in the last quarter of The second center will be a full-service medical spa offering the complete set of Chenot Method treatments and will open at the end of 2015 in İstanbul.

The paving stones of Garanti s path to success were its ability to read markets well, forecast accordingly, and, in light of these, carry out effective balance sheet management. In 2012, Garanti continued to stand out with its liquidity, sound asset quality and well capitalization fueled by its high internal capital generation capacity. Garanti s assets increased by 10% in 2012, reaching TL 179 billion 779 million 374 thousand; while the support provided to the economy through cash and non-cash lending reached TL 123 billion 903 million 825 thousand*. Expanding its cash loans by over 10% in 2012, Garanti increased the share of loans in assets to 55%. Garanti, with its disciplined growth strategy, did not pursue market share gains based purely on pricing competition and, thus grew selectively in order to manage the increasing pressure on margins in an effective and balanced manner. By concentrating on high-yielding consumer loans, including credit cards, Garanti gained healthy market shares. In 2012, the Bank s position in the sector was further strengthened with growth recorded in general-purpose loans by 16%, auto loans by 11% and mortgage loans by 17%. Garanti preserved its position as the Turkey s largest mortgage lender. Asset quality remained sound in Collections performance was strong, however at more normalized levels compared to the figures obtained over the past two years. Moreover, in parallel with the soft landing in the economy, lending growth was lower versus the previous year, yielding an increase in Garanti s non-performing loan ratio to 2.6% in 2012 from 2.1% in This ratio however, remained below the non-performing loan ratio calculated for the sector as a whole. Within the effectively managed and solid funding structure of Garanti, deposits carry the highest weight, funding 54% of the assets. In its effort to continually strengthen and expand its deposit base, Garanti successfully implemented the growth strategy with particular focus on mass deposits and demand deposits. Consequently, high demand deposit levels were maintained and the share of demand deposits in total deposits increased to 22% as of the end of the year. In 2012, Garanti diversified and further strengthened its funding mix by actively using alternative funding sources. Through the issuance of TL bonds, the Bank was able to effectively manage the cost as well as the maturity of the TL funding side. Garanti, as well regarded among the most trusted financial institutions by international investment banks, was able to undertake the largest ever non-sovereign Eurobond issue in Turkey to date, with the lowest coupon rate as of the date of issuance. With its sustainable growth focus, strong international banking network, experienced team, as well as its ability to generate potential business areas, Garanti was able to further reinforce its position * Figures are based on BRSA consolidated financial statements.
33 31 as the most preferred financial institution in the international markets. In light of this, the Bank was also able to secure the lowest-cost syndicated loan amongst Turkish banks in Garanti continued to strengthen its capital base via internal capital generation throughout The increase recorded in shareholders equity was 21%, reaching TL 21.7 billion. Consolidated capital adequacy ratio, which stood at 15.8% at the end of 2011, increased to 16.9% at the end of 2012, even after Basel II rules came into effect as of the third quarter of the year. Garanti s strong capitalization was distinguishing, not only in Turkey, but in the global arena, as well. Garanti was the only Turkish bank among the world s top 100 rated banks by S&P, for two consecutive years, per risk-adjusted capital ratio. Despite the economic uncertainties and pressure created by regulatory actions in 2012, Garanti delivered a net interest margin expansion through dynamic balance-sheet management. A customer centric and innovative business model yielded an increase in Garanti s sustainable banking revenues. Carrying on with its ongoing investments in distribution channels, Garanti managed to maintain the highest per branch efficiencies in terms of assets, loans and ordinary banking income. At Garanti Bank, primary responsibility to the stakeholders is defined as creating sustainable value both in the short and long-term. In this context, the focus of the activities carried out in 2012 included managing the environmental and social impacts besides cultural-artistic, educational, sportive and jazz activities. Developed for managing the Bank s indirect impact stemming from loans disbursed, the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment System was the Bank s most important action to reduce its ecological footprint. Having completed the testing phase of the system in 2012, Garanti commenced to effectively manage environmental and social impacts of loan disbursement activities. Garanti, in 2012, similar to prior years, was honored by numerous national and international prestigious institutions with its exemplary practices backed by the synergies the Bank created through its dynamic human resources capable of making a difference, the state-of-the-art technology, innovative customer oriented products and services and the best customer relationship management solutions. Garanti Bank has, for the third time, been selected as the Best Bank in Turkey in the evaluations carried out by the Financial Times Group s The Banker magazine. According to the results of a survey of the Most Admired Company conducted by the monthly business and economics magazine, Capital, Garanti Bank has been selected as the 1 st Most Admired Company in the Banking sector and the 2 nd from among all the companies in Turkey.

In 2013, Garanti Bank became the first Turkish Bank to receive A level rating from Global Reporting Initiative, with its Sustainability Report. Future Plans The downside risks that began in and later advanced into a global debt and banking crisis remain ever present as we enter the fifth year of the crisis. In this respect, while the risk to foreign demand remains pressing, uncertainties concerning the direction of capital flows are also rising to the fore. Without doubt, global developments are anticipated to closely affect the Turkish economy and the banking sector. In 2013, with the expectation of a limited pick up in the pace of global growth and a revival in domestic demand in Turkey, the Turkish economy is estimated to grow around 4.8%. With expectations of such growth and oil prices remaining high, the current account deficit will probably rise in relative to GDP in In line with economic developments, sector balance sheet growth is expected to be better relative to It is critical that, in 2013, the banking sector continues, without losing focus, to efficiently deploy its capital. In fact, one of the most significant factors distinguishing the sector on international platforms is its capital strength. The goal at Garanti Bank is clear: in 2013, the Bank will work with all its resources, despite the challenging economic conjuncture, to be an internationally respected bank, continuing to grow in a sustainable and profitable manner while wishing to earn the appreciation of all its stakeholders.

128 Corporate Responsibility Education In 2012, a 24-classroom industrial and technical high-school was completed and handed over to the Ministry of Education in the city of Şanlıurfa. Within the campus of this high-school, a 200-student dormitory building for the male students, a multifunctional meeting room and four workshop laboratories in two separate buildings were built as well. These additional units were aimed at raising the quality of education in this technical school. Another project that was completed by the Foundation in 2012 was the refurbishment and maintenance of Ayhan Şahenk Secondary School. Because it was originally built as a primary school, the School required many changes in order to be used as a secondary school. Many changes were made in the science lab, the computer lab, and the gym by renewing them with up-to-date technical equipment. In September 2012, Ayhan Şahenk Secondary School in Zeytinburnu opened its doors to its new students with its new look painted, furnished and built up to the new standards as a secondary school. In 2012, the Ayhan Şahenk Foundation gave scholarships to a total of 40 students.

Health In 2012, the number of patients who benefited from the Mobile Healthcare Units project totalled more than 20,000, thereby reaching a cumulative number of 414,000 patients since its establishment in This project was conceived at the request of the Honorary Chairman of Doğuş Group, Mr. Ayhan Şahenk, who thought that patients living in underserved regions where immigration rates are high should be provided with good quality general health and ophthalmology services, both in terms of treatment and preventive healthcare. Mobile health caravans, equipped with modern technology medical devices as well as specialized physicians and nurses, supply this service in coordination with primary schools and local municipalities. This project was awarded Professor Dr. Nusret Fişek Public Health Award in March 2012 after selection by votes of many professionals from Turkish Medical Association, public health departments of universities and the Ministry of Health. Environment In the context of Ayhan Şahenk Forests of Endearment Project (Ayhan Şahenk Sevgi Ormanları), which was founded with the aim of leaving a healthy and clean environment for future generations, more than 550,000 trees have been planted to date in areas which were previously destroyed by fire, mining, or erosion. In 2012, the Ayhan Şahenk Foundation formed a new forest within an area of 11 hectares nearby Silivri. This region, which benefited from 11,000 adult pine trees being planted, will be maintained for five years, and the plants which have not rooted properly in that time course will be substituted with new ones. The other Forests of Endearment in Marmaris, Bodrum, Niğde and İstanbul are still being maintained this year by the Foundation in accordance with a protocol signed with the Ministry of Environment and Forestry.

Rather than targeting infrastructural issues such as scholarships, donations, construction of schools, the Bank instead chose to focus strategically on value-creating programs related directly to the teachers, who determine the quality of education. In 2008, following the completion of preparatory work, the Teachers Academy Foundation was founded. With the intention of contributing to the implementation of an education model based on thinking, questioning, and research in our country, the Foundation commenced work on the No Limit in Teaching project, again developed and implemented by Garanti Bank. The main goal of the İstanbul-based Foundation is to make a contribution catering to the needs of teachers committed to educating young people who are conscious of their individual and societal responsibilities, who are capable of research and able to think critically and analytically, who are self-confident and always give importance to self-development, who identify themselves with universal values, and who are capable of embracing the country s cultural heritage. 126
129 127 No Limit in Teaching (Öğretmenin Sınırı Yok) Within the scope of the No Limit in Teaching project, the Bank signed a five-year contract with the Ministry of National Education to arrange training activities aimed at the personal and professional development of teachers. 100,000 teachers are targeted to receive training within the scope of the program, which commenced in the academic year, and for which Garanti Bank has allocated funds totaling TL 15 million. The program s face-to-face trainings which began in May 2009 had reached a total of 73,349 teachers in 78 provinces by 2012, spreading nationally within a brief period of time. All administrators, teachers and inspectors working in primary education can participate in the training sessions on a voluntary basis and without charge. The trainings, administered in the teachers own schools, cover topics under the rubrics of Classroom Management, Communication Skills and Evaluation. Teachers participating in the trainings are presented with an MEB-approved certificate. The trainings covered by the program are administered by 13 full-time expert educators and nearly 400 part-time educators in over 50 provinces who joined the Foundation after the Educator Trainings which were first administered in August 2009 and then again in January 2010 and February All educators work under the Teachers Academy Foundation.

The Genç Hayat Foundation Since 2009, Garanti Bank has been supporting the Genç Hayat Foundation s Anatolian Teacher High-Schools Social Events and, accordingly, supports the Renk Çemberi (Color Circle) project.

Community Volunteers Foundation (Toplum Gönüllüleri Vakfı-TOG) Garanti Bank is a supporter of Community Volunteers Foundation (Toplum Gönüllüleri Vakfı), a transformational project aimed at turning the energy of young people into a positive benefit for society. The Community Volunteers Foundation (TOG) was formed in December 2002 with the aim of fostering social peace, solidarity and change with its pioneering youth and adult guidance. By enabling youth to participate in volunteerism and social responsibility work, the Foundation contributes to their personal development and encourages their social participation on the basis of volunteerism. Young Community Volunteers, organized in clubs, groups or gatherings in their universities, execute sustainable social responsibility initiatives according to the perceived needs of their communities. Among the projects carried out with the support of the Bank in the reporting period by the Foundation were the Voluntary Education Support program aimed at contributing to the personal development of students in disadvantaged regions, the Periodic Summer Projects consisting of educational support and summer social activities both nationally and internationally, and the five Key Trainings aimed at creating awareness in youth of fundamental concepts such as civil society, projects and volunteerism. Since 2006, Garanti Pension and Life has been supporting several children s education and personal development projects carried out by the Community Volunteers Foundation.

Back to School: Educating, not Employing Children (İşimiz Okumak) Since 2010, aiming to lure secondary school working children (most particularly the ones on the streets) back to school on a full time basis, Garanti Pension and Life has been carrying out İşimiz Okumak (Back to School: Educating, not Employing, Children) project, in collaboration with İstanbul Province National Education Directorate and Bosphorus University. As a part of the project, about 3,100 children from 32 primary schools in İstanbul have been taught how to enhance their achievements and increase their school loyalty. In addition, nearly 450 Garanti Pension and Life employees have participated in school activities, volunteering on weekends and individually sponsoring activities such as going to cinema, theatre, museum, etc. The interaction between the children and volunteers was remarkable. In light of its aim to continually improve the project, Garanti Pension reached an agreement with a professional theatre institution to include Creative Drama as one of the personal development activities in the project as of the academic year.

On the other hand, students used their creativity to come up with slogans which were broadcasted live on Virgin Radio Turkey. Furthermore, instructive materials including positive messages about traffic were distributed to the students. University Cooperation Doğuş Otomotiv has also been working on schemes to give traffic safety training targeting university students. For instance, the 3-credit elective Traffic Safety Course, which is part of the Distance Education System, provides content along with useful information on safe driving and first aid techniques.

To this end, Doğuş Construction is in full compliance with the applicable environmental laws and regulations. Doğuş Group Annual Report 2012
136 Corporate Responsibility Boyabat Dam and HEPP Construction Project The Natural Wastewater Treatment Plant that Doğuş implemented under the title of the Boyabat Dam and HEPP Project adopts the principles of protecting natural resources, minimizing negative environmental impacts and placing emphasis particularly on taking measures that are in the direction of decreasing existing negative impacts. The construction of this natural treatment system, where natural flora is used, is quite simple and economical. These systems are based on the principle of filtering wastewater in basins using natural materials available in the environment. The treatment of water with wetland plants is a small imitation of nature. Wetlands are capable of using solar energy in the environment and renewing themselves. They form a wild life habitat, providing living space for several species, and ensure that the natural balance of the atmosphere is protected by consuming carbon dioxide and generating oxygen. They have high capacity of treatment since they can eliminate organic materials, suspended solids, nutrients, toxic materials, heavy metals and biological components. While the treatment system, with no commissioning cost, is very inexpensive in terms of investment, it is human and environmentally friendly. The aim is to increase the awareness of the local community with this type of environmentally friendly projects. Indeed, it may be appropriate to refer to this technology as Living Machine since the treatment procedure is performed by several aquatic living beings. Media Environment Once again, Doğuş Media Group has been a pioneer by disclosing the first carbon footprint report in Turkey. Approximately 30 companies in Turkey have taken action to measure their carbon footprints, the first step toward reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The first company to receive the result of the measurement was Doğuş Media Group, which had already shown its sensitivity to this matter through Green Screen for the preceding five years. Doğuş Media Group has also been the first media company to measure its carbon footprint, through the services of Carbon Clear Limited. NTV-Green Screen Project Since 2008, NTV s summer lineup has been mainly composed of environmental programs called the Green Screen.

All financial information presented in TL has been rounded to the nearest thousand, except when otherwise indicated. (d) Use of estimates and judgments The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. 158
161 159 2 Basis of preparation (continued) (d) Use of estimates and judgments (continued) Information about critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements is included in the following notes: Note 17 Investment in debt securities Note 25 Banking loans and advances to customers Note 27 Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Note 35 Deposits Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment within the next financial year are included in the following notes: Note 4 Determination of fair values Note 14 Taxation (utilisation of tax losses) Note 16 Intangible assets Note 34 Retirement benefit obligation Note 39 Commitments and contingencies Note 41 Financial instruments (e) Comparative information The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented comparatively to give a true and fair view of financial performance of the Group. Certain comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period s presentation as summarised below: Premium receivables, previously classified in current account receivables amounting to TL 578,127 thousand have been classified in non-current account receivables by the same amount as at 31 December Premium payables, previously classified in current account payables amounting to TL 568,265 thousand have been classified in non-current account payables by the same amount as at 31 December Payables to securities lending market, previously classified in accounts payable amounting to TL 176,706 thousand have been netted-off against receivables from securities lending market, previously classified in accounts receivable by the same amount as at 31 December Value Added Tax ( VAT ) receivables previously classified in other current assets amounting to TL 55,225 thousand have been classified in other non-current assets by the same amount as at 31 December Indemnification asset, previously classified in current accounts receivable amounting to TL 32,756 thousand have been classified in non-current accounts receivable by the same amount as at 31 December Provision for lawsuits previously classified in current liabilities amounting to TL 32,756 thousand have been classified in other non-current liabilities by the same amount as at 31 December Construction in progress previously classified in property, plant and equipment amounting to TL 17,676 thousand have been classified in other non-current assets by the same amount as at 31 December Assets held for sale, previously classified in other current assets amounting to TL 2,427 thousand have been classified in assets held for sale by the same amount as at 31 December Doğuş Group Annual Report 2012
162 Doğuş Group 3 Significant accounting policies The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements, and have been applied consistently by Group entities. (a) Basis of consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the parent company, Doğuş Holding, its subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates on the basis set out in sections below. The financial statements of the entities included in the consolidation have been prepared as at the date of the consolidated financial statements. (i) Business combinations Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method as at the acquisition date, which is the date on which control is transferred to the Group. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, the Group takes into consideration potential voting rights that currently are exercisable. The Group measures goodwill at the acquisition date as: the fair value of the consideration transferred; plus the recognised amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree; plus if the business combination is achieved in stages, the fair value of the pre-existing equity interest in the acquiree; less the net recognised amount (generally fair value) of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. When the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognised immediately in profit or loss. The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlement of pre-existing relationships. Such amounts generally are recognised in profit or loss. Transactions costs, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the Group incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred. Any contingent consideration payable is measured at fair value at the acquisition date. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it is not remeasured and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognised in profit or loss. (ii) Non-controlling interests For each business combination, the Group elects to measure any non-controlling interests in the acquiree either. at fair value; or at their proportionate share of the acquiree s identifiable net assets, which are generally at fair value. Changes in the Group s interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as transactions with owners in their capacity as owners. Adjustments to non-controlling interests are based on a proportionate amount of the net assets of the subsidiary. No adjustments are made to goodwill and no gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. 160
163 161 3 Significant accounting policies (continued) (a) (iii) Basis of consolidation (continued) Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.

Any surplus or deficit arising on the loss of control is recognised in profit or loss. If the Group retains any interest in the previous subsidiary, then such interest is measured at fair value at the date that control is lost. Subsequently it is accounted for as an equity-accounted investee or as an available-for-sale financial asset depending on the level of influence retained. Doğuş Group Annual Report 2012
166 Doğuş Group 3 Significant accounting policies (continued) (a) (v) Basis of consolidation (continued) Associates (Equity-accounted investees) Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies. Significant influence is presumed to exist when the Group holds between 20 and 50 percent of the voting power of another entity. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are initially recognised at cost. The cost of investments includes transaction costs. The consolidated financial statements include the Group s share of profit and loss and other comprehensive income of associates, after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the Group, from the date that significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases. When the Group s share of losses exceeds its interest in an associates, the carrying amount of that interest, including any long-term interests that form part thereof, is reduced to zero, and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the investee. The table below sets out the associates and shows the shareholding structure of these associates at 31 December: Direct and indirect ownership interest held by Doğuş Holding and its subsidiaries Ownership interest through shares held by Şahenk Family Proportion of ownership interest Proportion of effective interest of Doğuş Holding and its subsidiaries Altın Mecralar (1) Enmoda Hedef Medya İstinye Yönetim Hizmetleri Leaseplan LPD Holding VDF Faktoring (2) VDF Tüketici VDF Servis Holding VDF Sigorta (2) World Wide Yüce Auto (1) Consolidated under Hedef Medya. (2) Consolidated under VDF Servis Holding. (vi) Joint ventures Joint ventures are those entities over whose activities the Group has joint control, established by contractual agreement and requiring unanimous consent for strategic financial and operating decisions. Joint ventures are accounted for using the proportionate consolidation method. The consolidated financial statements include the Group s proportionate share of the enterprises assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses with items of a similar nature on a line-by-line basis, from the date that joint control commences until the date that joint control ceases. 164

169 167 3 Significant accounting policies (continued) (a) (vii) Basis of consolidation (continued) Special purpose entities The Group has established special purpose entities ( SPEs ) to accomplish a narrow and well defined objective such as securitisation of particular assets, or the execution of specific borrowing or lending transactions. The Group does not have any direct or indirect shareholdings in these entities. An SPE is consolidated if, based on an evaluation of the substance of its relationship with the Group and the SPE s risks and rewards, the Group concludes that it controls the SPE. SPEs controlled by the Group were established under terms that impose strict limitations on the decision-making powers of the SPEs management and that result in the Group receiving the majority of the benefits related to the SPEs operations and net assets, being exposed to risks incident to the SPEs activities, and retaining the majority of the residual or ownership risks related to the SPE or their assets. Garanti DPR is a special purpose entity established for Garanti Bank s securitisation transactions. The Group does not have any shareholding interest in this company. (viii) Transactions eliminated on consolidation Intra-group balances and transactions and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with associates are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Group s interest in the investee. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. (b) Accounting in hyperinflationary economies Until 31 December 2005, the financial statements of the Turkish entities have been restated for the changes in the general purchasing power of the Turkish Lira ( TL ) based on IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies. Beginning from January 2006, it was declared that Turkey should be considered a non-hyperinflationary economy under IAS 29. Therefore, IAS 29 has not been applied to the accompanying consolidated financial statements since 1 January (c) (i) Foreign currency Foreign currency transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Group entities at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference between the amortised cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the year, adjusted for effective interest and payments during the year, and the amortised cost in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the year. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items in a foreign currency that are measured in terms of historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognised in profit or loss, except for differences arising on the retranslation of available-for-sale equity instruments (except on impairment in which case foreign currency differences that have been recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss), a financial liability designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation to the extent that the hedge is effective; or qualifying cash flow hedges to the extent the hedge is effective. Doğuş Group Annual Report 2012
170 Doğuş Group 3 Significant accounting policies (continued) (c) (ii) Foreign currency (continued) Foreign operations The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to TL at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to TL at average exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency differences are recognised in other comprehensive income, and presented in the foreign currency translation reserve (translation reserve) in equity. However, if the foreign operation is a non-wholly-owned subsidiary, then the relevant proportion of the translation difference is allocated to the non-controlling interests. When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control, significant influence or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. When the Group disposes of only part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation while retaining control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non-controlling interests. When the Group disposes of only part of its investment in an associate or joint venture that includes a foreign operation while retaining significant influence or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss. When the settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operations is neither planned nor likely in the foreseeable future, foreign exchange gains and losses arising from such a monetary item are considered to form part of a net investment in a foreign operation and are recognised in other comprehensive income, and presented within equity in the translation reserve. (iii) Hedge of net investment in foreign operation The Group applies hedge accounting to foreign currency differences arising between the functional currency of the foreign operation and the parent entity s functional currency (TL), regardless of whether the net investment is held directly or through an intermediate parent. Foreign currency differences arising on the retranslation of a financial liability designated as a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation are recognised in other comprehensive income to the extent that the hedge is effective, and are presented within equity in the translation reserve. To the extent that the hedge is ineffective, such differences are recognised in profit or loss. When the hedged part of net investment is disposed of, the relevant amount in the translation reserve is transferred to profit or loss as a part of the profit or loss on disposal. (d) (i) Financial instruments Non-derivative financial assets The Group initially recognises loans and receivables and deposits on the date that they are originated. All other financial assets (including assets designated at fair value through profit or loss) are recognised initially on the trade date at which the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred. Any interest in such transferred financial assets that is created or retained by the Group is recognised as a separate asset or liability. 168
171 169 3 Significant accounting policies (continued) (d) (i) Financial instruments (continued) Non-derivative financial assets (continued) Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The Group classifies non-derivative financial assets into the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity financial assets and loans and receivables and available-for-sale financial assets. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss A financial asset is classified at fair value through profit or loss if it is classified as held for trading or is designated as such upon initial recognition. These include investments and certain purchased loans. Financial assets are designated at fair value through profit or loss if the Group manages such investments and makes purchase and sale decisions based on their fair value in accordance with the Group s documented risk management or investment strategy. Upon initial recognition attributable transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value and changes therein, which takes into account any dividend income, are recognised in profit or loss. Held to maturity financial assets If the Group has the positive intent and ability to hold debt securities to maturity, then such financial assets are classified as held-to-maturity. Held-to-maturity financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, held to maturity financial assets are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method less and impairment losses. Held to maturity financial assets includes certain banking loans and advances to banks and customers and certain debt instruments. Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. Loans and receivables comprise banking loans and advances to customers and banks, trade and other receivables, including service concession receivables, and due from related parties. Finance lease receivables Leases where the entire risks and rewards incident to ownership of an asset are substantially transferred to the lessee are classified as finance leases. A receivable at an amount equal to the present value of the lease payments, including any guaranteed residual value, is recognised. The difference between the gross receivable and the present value of the receivable is unearned finance income and is recognised over the term of the lease using the effective interest rate method. Finance lease receivables are included in banking loans and advances to customers. Factoring receivables Factoring receivables are stated at fair value at initial recognition. Subsequent to the initial recognition, factoring transactions are accounted at amortised costs. The carrying amounts of factoring receivables approximate to their fair values since amortisation is taken into account at initial recognition. Doğuş Group Annual Report 2012
172 Doğuş Group 3 Significant accounting policies (continued) (d) (i) Financial instruments (continued) Non-derivative financial assets (continued) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances, call deposits, balances with Central Bank of Turkey ( CBT ) and other central banks and other liquid assets with original maturities of three months or less from the acquisition date that are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in their fair value. Money market placements are classified in banking loans and advances to banks. Available-for-sale financial assets Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for-sale and that are not classified in any of the previous categories of financial assets. The Group s investments in certain debt and equity instruments are classified as available-for-sale financial assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at fair value and changes therein, other than impairment losses (see note 3(m)) and foreign currency differences on available-forsale equity instruments (see note 3(c)(i)), are recognised in other comprehensive income and presented within equity in the fair value reserve. When an instrument is derecognised, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is reclassified to profit or loss. Accounting for interest income and expenses for banking and finance segment is discussed in note 3 (p). Accounting for finance income and expenses for segments other than banking and finance is discussed in note 3 (s). Service concession arrangements The Group recognises a financial asset arising from a service concession arrangement when it has an unconditional contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset from or at the direction of the grantor for the construction or upgrade services provided. Such financial assets are measured at fair value upon initial recognition. Subsequent to initial recognition the financial assets are measured at amortised cost. If the Group is paid for the construction services partly by a financial asset and partly by an intangible asset, then each component of the consideration received or receivable is accounted for separately and is recognised initially at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable (see also note 3(f)(ii)). Other Other non derivative financial instruments are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less any impairment losses (see accounting policy 3(m)). (ii) Non-derivative financial liabilities The Group initially recognises debt securities issued, deposits, obligations under repurchase agreements, due to related parties, bonds payable and subordinated liabilities on the date that they are originated. All other financial liabilities (including liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss) are recognised initially on the trade date, which is the date that the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. The Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire. Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the consolidated statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 170
173 171 3 Significant accounting policies (continued) (d) (ii) Financial instruments (continued) Non-derivative financial liabilities (continued) The Group has the following non-derivative financial liabilities: deposits, obligations under repurchase agreements, loans and borrowings, accounts and other payables, subordinated liabilities, bonds payable, due to related parties and liabilities from short-term sales of financial instruments. Such financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition these financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. (iii) Derivative financial instruments including hedge accounting The Group holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its certain risk exposures. Embedded derivatives are separated from the host contract and accounted for separately if the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract and the embedded derivative are not closely related, a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would meet the definition of a derivative, and the combined instrument is not measured at fair value through profit or loss. On initial designation of the derivative as the hedging instrument, the Group formally documents the relationship between the hedging instrument(s) and hedged item(s), including the risk management objectives and strategy in undertaking the hedge transaction and the hedged risk, together with the methods that will be used to assess the effectiveness of the hedging relationship. The Group makes an assessment, both at the inception of the hedge relationship as well as on an ongoing basis, whether the hedging instruments are expected to be highly effective in offsetting the changes in the fair value or cash flows of the respective hedged items attributable to the hedged risk, and whether the actual results of each hedge are within a range of percent. For a cash flow hedge of a forecast transaction, the transaction should be highly probable to occur and should present an exposure to variations in cash flows that could ultimately affect reported profit or loss. Derivatives are recognised initially at fair value; attributable transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. All trading derivatives in a net receivable position (positive fair value) as well as options purchased are reported as trading assets. All trading derivatives in a net payable position (negative fair value) as well as options written, are reported as trading liabilities. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are accounted for as described below. Cash flow hedges When a derivative is designated as the hedging instrument in a hedge of the variability in cash flows attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction that could affect profit or loss, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognised in other comprehensive income and presented in the hedging reserve in equity. Any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognised immediately in profit or loss. Doğuş Group Annual Report 2012
174 Doğuş Group 3 Significant accounting policies (continued) (d) (iii) Financial instruments (continued) Derivative financial instruments, including hedge accounting (continued) Cash flow hedges (continued) When the hedged item is a non-financial asset, the amount accumulated in equity is included in the carrying amount of the asset when the asset is recognised. In other cases, the amount accumulated in equity is reclassified to profit or loss in the same period that the hedged item affects profit or loss. If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or the designation is revoked, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. If the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, then the balance in equity is reclassified in profit or loss. Separable embedded derivatives Changes in the fair value of separated embedded derivatives are recognised immediately in profit or loss. Other non-trading derivatives When a derivative financial instrument is not designated in a hedge relationship that qualifies for hedge accounting, all changes in its fair value are recognised immediately in profit or loss. (iv) Share capital Ordinary shares Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects. Repurchase, disposal and reissue of share capital (Treasury shares) When share capital recognised as equity is repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, which includes directly attributable costs, net of any tax effects, is recognised as a deduction from equity. Repurchased shares are classified as treasury shares and are presented as a deduction from total equity. When treasury shares are sold or reissued subsequently, the amount received is recognised as an increase in equity, and the resulting surplus or deficit on the transaction is presented in share premium. (e) (i) Property and equipment Recognition and measurement The costs of items of property and equipment purchased before 31 December 2005 are restated for the effects of inflation in TL units current at 31 December 2005 pursuant to IAS 29. Property and equipment purchased after this date are recorded at their historical costs. Accordingly, items of property and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any (see accounting policy 3(m)), except as explained below: 172
175 173 3 Significant accounting policies (continued) (e) (i) Property and equipment (continued) Recognition and measurement (continued) In 2001, the Group started to reflect the land and buildings at their fair values as appraised by independent third party appraisers. Any increase arising on the revaluation of such land and buildings is credited to other comprehensive income, and presented in revaluation surplus in equity, except to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease for the same asset previously recognised as an expense, in which case the increase is credited to profit or loss to the extent of the decrease previously charged. A decrease in the carrying amount arising on the revaluation of such land and buildings is charged as an expense to the extent that it exceeds the balance, if any, held in the revaluation surplus relating to a previous revaluation of that asset. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the following: the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition for its intended use, when the Group has an obligation to remove the asset or restore the site, an estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located, and capitalised borrowing costs. Cost also includes transfers from equity of any gain or loss on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases of property and equipment. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment. When parts of an item of property and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property and equipment. Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property and equipment (calculated as the difference between the net proceeds from disposals and the carrying amount of the item) is recognised, net in profit or loss in other income or other expenses. When revalued assets are sold, the amounts included in the revaluation surplus reserve are transferred to retained earnings. (ii) Reclassification to investment property When the use of a property changes from owner-occupied to investment property, the property is remeasured to fair value and reclassified as investment property. Property that is being constructed for future use as investment property is accounted for at fair value. Any gain arising on remeasurement is recognised in profit or loss to the extent that it reverses a previous impairment loss on the specific property, with any remaining gain recognised in other comprehensive income and presented in the revaluation reserve in equity. Any loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss. (iii) Subsequent costs Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group. Ongoing repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred. (iv) Depreciation Items of property and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis in profit or loss over the estimated useful lives of each component. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Land is not depreciated. Doğuş Group Annual Report 2012
176 Doğuş Group 3 Significant accounting policies (continued) (e) (iv) Property and equipment (continued) Depreciation (continued) Items of property and equipment are depreciated from the date that they are installed and are ready for use, or in respect of internally constructed assets, from the date that the assets are complete and ready for use. The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative years of significant items of property and equipment are are as follows: Description Year Buildings 50 Furniture and equipment 4-20 Motor vehicles 5-10 Leasehold improvements are amortised over the periods of the respective leases, also on a straight-line basis. Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate. Tangible assets purchased before 2005 at Garanti Bank and its subsidiaries are depreciated over their estimated useful lives on a straight line basis from the date of their acquisition. Assets acquired after this date are depreciated based on the declining balance method. For the assets acquired after 1 January 2009, the straight line depreciation method is in use. Expenditures for major renewals and improvement of tangible assets are capitalised and depreciated over the remaining useful lives of the related assets. (f) (i) Intangible assets Goodwill Goodwill that arises upon the acquisition of subsidiaries and joint ventures is presented with intangible assets. For the measurement of goodwill at initial recognition, see note 3(a)(i). Subsequent measurement Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses (see accounting policy 3(m)). In respect of associates, the carrying amount of goodwill is included in the carrying amount of the investment, and any impairment loss is allocated to the carrying amount of the associates as a whole. (ii) Service concession arrangements Concession rights acquired by the Group have finite useful lives of 20 years ( TÜVTURK ), 38 years ( D Marin Göcek ), 36 years ( Dalmacija ), 18 years ( Borik ) and 12 years (*) ( Gouvia Marina S.A. ) starting from 15 August 2007, 7 December 2010, 30 April 2012, 30 April 2012 and 31 December 2012 respectively, and are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation. Cost includes borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition of the concession rights. The Group capitalises the borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, or construction of a qualifying asset as part of the cost of that asset. (*) Concession period ending in 2024 can be prolonged for 13 years after final decision of regulatory authorities. 174
177 175 3 Significant accounting policies (continued) (f) (iii) Intangible assets (continued) Broadcasting rights Broadcasting rights represent terrestrial broadcasting licence of Kral TV and Kral FM which are the intangible assets recognised during the acquisition of commercial and economic assets of Kral TV and Kral FM in 2008 and terrestrial broadcasting licence of Star TV which are the intangible assets recognised during the acquisition of Işıl Televizyon Yayıncılık Anonim Şirketi in Terrestrial broadcast rights have indefinite useful lives. These rights are tested for impairment annually. (iv) Brand name Brand name represents brand name of Ajia, Anjelique, Capri, Da Mario, Gina, Go Mongo, IL Riccio, Kivahan, Kitchenette, Nusr-et, Roka, Tom s Kitchen, Vogue and Zuma which is related to the intangible asset recognised during the acquisitions in 2012 and Star TV which is related to the intangible asset recognised during the acquisition in Brand names have indefinite useful lives and are tested for impairment annually. (v) Content library The content library of series and movies are related to the intangible assets recognised during the acquisition of Star TV in Ownership right of these items in the content library belong to Star TV with unlimited transmission. The fair value of the content library on the acquisition date has been determined by an independent external expert. The content library is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Useful lives of content library are five years period when content library is ready to screen on TV starting. (vi) Other intangible assets Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Group, which have finite useful lives, are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses (see accounting policy 3(m)). (vii) Subsequent expenditure Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognised in profit or loss as incurred. (viii) Amortisation Except for goodwill, broadcasting rights and brand name recognised in business combinations, intangible assets are amortised on a straight-line basis in profit or loss over their estimated useful lives, from the date that they are available for use. Amortisation of service concession rights acquired by the Group is recognised in profit or loss on a straight line basis over their respective concession periods. Amortisation of content library is based on the fair value of the asset which is acquired through business combination under scope of IFRS 3 Business Combinations. The amortisation period for all items in content library are five years period when content library is ready to screen on TV. Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate. Amortisation of franchise network is based on the fair value of the asset which is acquired through business combination under scope of IFRS 3 Business Combinations. The amortisation period for franchise network is ten years period. Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate. Doğuş Group Annual Report 2012
178 Doğuş Group 3 Significant accounting policies (continued) (f) (viii) Intangible assets (continued) Amortisation (continued) Amortisation of sponsorship is based on the fair value of the asset which is acquired through business combination under scope of IFRS 3 Business Combinations. The amortisation period for sponsorship is ten years period. Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate. (g) Securities borrowing and lending business Investments lent under securities lending arrangements continue to be recognised in the statement of consolidated financial position and are measured in accordance with the accounting policy for the related assets as appropriate. Cash collateral received in respect of securities lent is recognised as liabilities to either banks or customers. Investments borrowed under securities borrowing agreements are not recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position as the related risks and rewards of such securities are not retained. Borrowed securities are recorded under commitments and contingencies. Cash collateral placements in respect of securities borrowed are recognised under loans and advances to either banks or customers depending on the type of counterparty. (h) Repurchase and resale agreements over investments Garanti Bank and its subsidiaries enter into purchases of investments under agreements to resell ( reverse repo ) substantially identical investments at a certain date in the future at a fixed price. Investments purchased subject to commitments to resell them at future dates are not recognised. The amounts paid are recognised in banking loans to either banks or customers. The receivables are shown as collateralised by the underlying security. Investments sold under repurchase agreements ( repo ) continue to be recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position and are measured in accordance with the accounting policy for the related assets as appropriate. The proceeds from the sale of the investments are reported as obligations under repurchase agreements, a liability account. Income and expenses arising from the repurchase and resale agreements over investments are recognised on an accrual basis over the period of the transactions and are included in Revenues or Cost of revenues. (i) Investment property Investment property is property held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both but not for sale in the ordinary course of business, use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes. Investment property is measured at fair value with any change therein recognised in profit or loss. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the investment property. The cost of selfconstructed investment property includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the investment property to a working condition for their intended use and capitalised borrowing costs. Any gain or loss on disposal of an investment property (calculated as the difference between the net proceeds from disposal and the carrying amount of the item) is recognised in profit or loss. When an investment property that was previously classified as property and equipment is sold, any related amount included in the revaluation surplus is transferred to retained earnings. When the use of a property changes such that it is reclassified as property and equipment, its fair value at the date of reclassification becomes its cost for subsequent accounting. 176
179 177 3 Significant accounting policies (continued) (j) Inventories Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Except as discussed in the following paragraphs, the cost of inventories is mainly based on the moving weighted average, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. Cost of trading goods and trading properties are determined on specific identification basis by the entities operating in automotive and construction businesses. Trading properties comprise land and buildings that are held for trading purposes. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. (l) Construction contracts in progress Construction contracts in progress represent the gross unbilled amount expected to be collected from customers for contract work performed to date. It is measured at cost plus profit recognised to date (see note 3 (p)(iii)) less progress billings and recognised losses. Cost includes all expenditures related directly to specific projects and an allocation of fixed and variable overheads incurred in the Group s contract activities based on normal operating capacity. Construction contracts in progress is presented as part of accounts receivable in the consolidated statement of financial position for all contracts in which costs incurred plus recognised profits exceed progress billings. If progress billings exceed cost incurred plus recognised profits, then the difference is presented as deferred income in the consolidated statement of financial position. The asset, Due from customers for contract work represents revenues recognised in excess of amounts billed. The liability, Due to customers for contract work represents billings in excess of revenues recognised. (m) (i) Impairment Non-derivative financial assets A financial asset not classified as at fair value through profit or loss is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is objective evidence that it is impaired. A financial asset is impaired if objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset, and that the loss event(s) had an impact on the estimated future cash flows of that asset that can be estimated reliably. Objective evidence that financial assets are impaired can include default or delinquency by a debtor, restructuring of an amount due to the Group on terms that the Group would not consider otherwise, indications that a debtor or issuer will enter bankruptcy, adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers or issuers in the Group, economic conditions that correlate with defaults or the disappearance of an active market for a security. In addition, for an investment in an equity security, a significant or prolonged decline in its fair value below its cost is objective evidence of impairment. Available-for sale financial assets Impairment losses on available-for-sale investment securities are recognised by reclassifying the cumulative loss that has been recognised in other comprehensive income, and presented in the fair value reserve in equity, to profit or loss. The cumulative loss that is reclassified from other comprehensive income and recognised in profit or loss is the difference between the acquisition cost, net of any principal repayment and amortisation, and the current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised in profit or loss. Changes in cumulative impairment losses attributable to application of the effective interest method are reflected as a component of interest income. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of an impaired available-for-sale debt security increases and the increase can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised, then the impairment loss is reversed, with the amount of the reversal recognised in profit or loss. Doğuş Group Annual Report 2012
180 Doğuş Group 3 Significant accounting policies (continued) (m) (i) Impairment (continued) Non-derivative financial assets (continued) Available-for sale financial assets (continued) However, any subsequent recovery in the fair value of an impaired available-for-sale equity security is recognised in other comprehensive income. For an investment in unquoted equity instruments carried at cost because their fair value cannot be measured reliably, impairment losses is not be reversed. Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments The recoverable amounts of banking loans and receivables and held-to-maturity instruments are calculated as the present values of the expected future cash flows discounted at the instruments original effective interest rates. Short-term balances are not discounted. Loans and receivables are presented net of specific and portfolio basis allowances for uncollectibility. Specific allowances are made against the carrying amounts of loans and receivables that are identified as being impaired based on regular reviews of outstanding balances to reduce these banking loans and receivables to their recoverable amounts. In assessing the recoverable amounts of banking loans and receivables, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value. Portfolio basis allowances are maintained to reduce the carrying amount of portfolios of similar banking loans and receivables to their estimated recoverable amounts at the reporting date. The expected cash flows for portfolios of similar assets are estimated based on previous experience and considering the credit rating of the underlying customers and late payments of interest or penalties. Increases in the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss. When a banking loan is known to be uncollectible, all the necessary legal procedures have been completed, and the final loss has been determined, the loan is written off directly. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be linked objectively to an event occurring after the write down, the write-down or allowance is reversed through profit or loss. Financial assets remeasured to fair value The recoverable amount of an equity instrument is its fair value. The recoverable amount of debt instruments and purchased loans remeasured to fair value is calculated as the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of interest. Where an asset remeasured to fair value is impaired, the write-down is recognised in profit or loss. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be linked objectively to an event occurring after the write-down, the write-down is reversed through profit or loss. (ii) Non-financial assets The carrying amounts of the Group s non-financial assets, other than investment property, inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset s recoverable amount is estimated. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested annually for impairment. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its related cashgenerating unit ( CGU ) exceeds its recoverable amount. 178
181 179 3 Significant accounting policies (continued) (m) (ii) Impairment (continued) Non-financial assets (continued) The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs. Subject to an operating segment ceiling test, CGUs to which goodwill has been allocated are aggregated so that the level at which impairment testing is performed reflects the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal reporting purposes. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of CGUs are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU (group of CGUs), and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU (group of CGUs) on a pro rata basis. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. For other assets, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. (n) (i) Employee benefits Defined benefit plan A defined benefit plan is a pension plan that defines an amount of pension benefit that an employee and his/her dependants will receive on retirement, usually dependent on one or more factors such as age, years of service and compensation. Garanti Bank, a jointly controlled entity, has a defined benefit plan ( the Plan ) for its employees namely Türkiye Garanti Bankası Anonim Şirketi Emekli ve Yardım Sandığı Vakfı ( the Fund ). The Fund is a separate legal entity and a foundation recognised by an official decree, providing pension and post-retirement medical benefits to its all its employees entitled to receive such benefits. This benefit plan is funded through contributions of both by the employees and the employer as required by Social Security Law numbered 506 and these contributions are as follows: 2012 Employer % Employee % Pension contributions Medical benefit contributions Employer % Employee % Pension contributions Medical benefit contributions This benefit plan is composed of a) the contractual benefits of the employees, which are subject to transfer to Social Security Foundation ( SSF ) ( pension and medical benefits transferable to SSF ) (see note 34 (i)) and b) other excess social rights and payments provided in the existing trust indenture but not transferable to SSF and medical benefits provided by Garanti Bank for its constructive obligation ( excess benefits ) (see note 34 (ii)). Doğuş Group Annual Report 2012
182 Doğuş Group 3 Significant accounting policies (continued) (n) (i) Employee benefits (continued) Defined benefit plan (continued) Pension and medical benefits transferable to SSF As discussed in note 34, Garanti Bank expects to transfer a portion of the obligation of the Fund to SSF. This transfer will be a settlement of that portion of the Fund s obligation. Final legislation establishing the terms for this transfer was enacted on 8 May Although the settlement will not be recognised until the transfer is made, Garanti Bank believes that it is more appropriate to measure the obligation as the value of the payment that would need to be made to SSF to settle the obligation at the date of the statement of financial position in accordance with the Temporary Article 20 of the Law No.5754: Law regarding the changes in Social Insurance and General Health Insurance Law and other laws and regulations ( the New Law ). The pension disclosures set out in Note 34, therefore reflect the actuarial assumptions and mortality tables specified in the New Law, including a discount rate of 9.80 percent. The pension benefits transferable to SSF are calculated annually by an independent actuary, who is registered with the Undersecretariat of the Treasury. Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are directly charged to profit or loss. Excess benefits not transferable to SSF The excess benefits, which are not subject to the transfer, are accounted in accordance with IAS 19, Employee Benefits. The obligation in respect of the retained portion of the defined benefit pension plan is calculated by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value by using the projected unit credit method, and any unrecognised past service costs and the fair value of any plan assets are deducted. Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are directly charged to profit or loss. (ii) Reserve for employee severance indemnity Reserve for employee severance indemnity represents the present value of the estimated future probable obligation of the Group arising from the retirement of the employees and calculated in accordance with the Turkish Labour Law. It is computed and reflected in the consolidated financial statements on an accrual basis as it is earned by serving employees. The computation of the liabilities is based upon the retirement pay ceiling announced by the Government. The ceiling amounts applicable for each year of employment were TL 3.03 thousand and TL 2.73 thousand at 31 December 2012 and 2011, respectively. IFRSs require actuarial valuation methods to be developed to estimate the entity s obligation under defined benefit plans. The principal statistical assumptions used in the calculation of the total liability in the accompanying consolidated financial statements at 31 December were as follows: % % Discount rate Turnover rate to estimate the probability of retirement
183 181 3 Significant accounting policies (continued) (o) Provisions A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as finance cost. (i) Warranties A provision for warranties is recognised when the underlying products or services are sold. The provision is based on historical warranty data and a weighting of all possible outcomes against their associated probabilities. The warranties on automobiles sold by the Group are issued by the main producers (Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche, Seat, Scania, Krone) where the Group acts as an intermediary between the customers and the producer. The claims of customers to the Group are recognised as warranty expense in profit or loss. The Group recognises the amount claimed from the producers as warranty income and offset against warranty expense. The Group incurs the cost that is not paid by the manufacturers. Accordingly, the Group recognises the estimated liability for the difference between possible warranty claims of customers and possible warranty claims from producers based on historical service statistics. (ii) Onerous contracts A provision for onerous contracts is recognised when the expected benefits to be derived by the Group from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established, the Group recognises any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract (see note 3 (m)(ii)). (p) (i) Revenue and cost recognition Banking and finance business Fees and commission income: Fees and commission income and expenses that are integral to the effective interest rate on a financial asset or liability are included in the measurement of the effective interest rate. Other fees and commission income, including account servicing fees, investment management fees, sales commission, placement fees and syndication fees, are recognised as the related services are performed. When a loan commitment is not expected to result in the draw-down of a loan, loan commitment fees are recognised on a straight-line basis over the commitment period. Other fees and commission expenses relate mainly to transaction and service fees, which are expensed as the services are received. Interest income and expense: Interest income and expense are recognised on an accrual basis in profit or loss, taking into account the effective yield of the asset or an applicable floating rate. Interest income and expense include the amortisation of any discount or premium or other differences between the initial carrying amount of an interest bearing instrument and its amount at maturity calculated on an effective interest rate basis. Trading gain/(loss), net: Trading gain/(loss) includes gains and losses arising from disposals of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and available-for-sale and from trading derivatives. Doğuş Group Annual Report 2012
184 Doğuş Group 3 Significant accounting policies (continued) (p) (ii) Revenue and cost recognition (continued) Insurance business Premium income: For short-term insurance contracts, premiums are recognised as revenue (earned premiums), net of premium ceded to reinsurer firms, proportionally over the period of coverage. The portion of premium received on in-force contracts that relates to unexpired risks at the reporting date is recognised as the reserve for unearned premiums that are calculated on a daily pro-rata basis. Premiums are shown before deduction of commissions and deferred acquisition cost, and are gross of any taxes and duties levied on premiums. For long-term insurance contracts, premiums are recognised as revenue when the premiums are due from the policyholders. Premiums received for long-term insurance contracts with discretionary participation feature ( DPF ) are recognised directly as liabilities. Unearned premium reserve: Unearned premiums are those proportions of the premiums written in a period that relate to the period of risk subsequent to the reporting date for all short-term insurance policies. In accordance with the incumbent legislation on the computation of insurance contract liabilities, unearned premium reserve set aside for unexpired risks as at the reporting date has been computed on daily pro-rata basis. The change in the provision for unearned premium is recognised in profit or loss in the order that revenue is recognised over the period of risk. Claims and provision for outstanding claims: Claims are recognised in the period in which they occur, based on reported claims or on the basis of estimates when not reported. The claims provision is the total estimated ultimate cost of settling all claims arising from events, which have occurred up to the end of the accounting period. Full provision is accounted for outstanding claims, including claim settlements reported at the period-end. Incurred but not reported claims ( IBNR ) are also provided for under the provision for outstanding claims. Liability adequacy test: At each reporting date, asset-liability adequacy tests are performed to ensure the adequacy of the contract liabilities, net of related deferred acquisition cost. In performing these tests, current best estimates of future cash flows are used. Any deficiency is immediately charged to profit or loss. Income generated from pension business: Revenue arising from asset management and other related services offered by one of the Group s proportionately consolidated insurance joint venture are recognised in the accounting period in which the service is rendered. Fees consist primarily of investment management fees arising from services rendered in conjunction with the issue and management of investment contracts where the company actively manages the consideration received from its customers to fund a return that is based on the investment profile that the customer selected on origination of the instrument. These services comprise the activity of trading financial assets in order to reproduce the contractual services. In all cases, these services comprise an indeterminate number of acts over the life of the individual contracts. Mathematical provisions: Mathematical provisions are the provisions recorded against the liabilities of the proportionately consolidated insurance joint venture to the beneficiaries of long-term life, health and individual accident policies based on actuarial assumptions. Mathematical provisions consist of actuarial mathematical provisions for long term insurance contracts, saving portion of the saving life products classified as investment contracts and related profit sharing reserves. Actuarial mathematical provisions are calculated as the difference between the net present values of premiums written in return of the risk covered by the insurance proportionately consolidated joint venture and the liabilities to policyholders for long-term insurance contracts based on the basis of actuarial mortality assumptions as approved by the Republic of Turkey Prime Ministry Undersecretariat of Treasury, which are applicable for Turkish insurance companies. 182
185 183 3 Significant accounting policies (continued) (p) (ii) Revenue and cost recognition (continued) Insurance business (continued) Profit sharing reserves are the reserves provided against income obtained from asset backing saving life insurance contracts. These contracts entitle the beneficiaries of those contracts to a minimum guaranteed crediting rate per annum or, when higher, a bonus rate declared by the insurance affiliate from the eligible surplus available to date. Mathematical provisions are presented under other non-current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. (iii) Construction contracts Contract revenue includes the initial amount agreed in the contract plus any variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments to the extent that it is probable that they will result in revenue and can be measured reliably. As soon as the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognised in profit or loss in proportion to the stage of completion of the contract. Contract expenses are recognised as incurred unless they create an asset related to future contract activity. The stage of completion is assessed by reference to the proportion that contract costs incurred for work performed to date bear to the estimated total contract costs. When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognised only to the extent of contract costs incurred that are likely to be recoverable. An expected loss on a contract is recognised immediately in profit or loss. (iv) Commissions When the Group acts in the capacity of an agent rather than as the principal in a transaction, the revenue recognised is the net amount of commission made by the Group. (v) Rental income Rental income from investment property is recognised as revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives granted are recognised as an integral part of the total rental income, over the term of the lease. Rental income from other property is recognised as other income. (vi) Service concession arrangements Inspection revenues and cost of revenues Inspection revenues constitute fees charged to the customers for services rendered in the Vehicle Inspection Stations ( VIS ) through sub-operators. Such inspection fees are recognised as revenue in profit or loss at the date the service is provided. Until 15 August 2010, the cost of inspection revenues constitutes sub-operators share for their sub-operating activities which constitutes 63 percent of the inspection revenues and payments to the State for its share as provided in the Concession Agreement which constitutes 30 percent of the inspection revenues. After 15 August 2010, State share has been increased to 40 percent as provided in the Concession Agreement and consequently, sub-operators share has decreased to 53 percent while the Group companies share has remained the same. Revenues from sub-operation fees and cost of revenues The sub-operation fees are the payments made by the sub-operators to the Group for their use of the sub-operation rights in the manner and conditions set out in sub-operation agreements. The sub-operation fees are initially recognised as unearned revenue in the consolidated statement of financial position and then transferred to the profit or loss in the periods from the starting date of operations in the VIS until the end of the concession period. Doğuş Group Annual Report 2012
186 Doğuş Group 3 Significant accounting policies (continued) (p) (vi) Revenue and cost recognition (continued) Service concession arrangements (continued) Revenues from sub-operation fees and cost of revenues (continued) The sub-operation fees constitute a profit margin plus various costs of the Group to prepare the vehicles inspection stations for their intended use. Such costs represent the cost of the concession right paid by the Group and all other relevant expenditures including station construction, testing equipment, preparation of station personnel, setting-up suboperation systems and related borrowing costs that are altogether considered as the cost of sub-operation fees. Profit derived from the sub-operation fees is recognised in profit or loss from the starting date of operations in the vehicle inspection stations until the end of the concession period on a straight line basis. Cost of sub-operation fees including depreciation expense of property and equipment of the vehicle inspection stations that are in operation and the amortisation expense of the concession right, and the related station personnel expenses, among others are recognised as expense in the period in which the economic benefits associated with those cost items are consumed or expired. (vii) Other businesses Revenue from the sale of goods in the course of ordinary activities is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns and allowances, trade discounts and volume rebates. Revenue is recognised when persuasive evidence exists, usually in the form of an executed sales agreement, that the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, and there is no continuing management involvement with the goods and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. If it is probable that discounts will be granted and the amount can be measured reliably, then the discount is recognised as a reduction of revenue as the sale is recognised. Transfers of risks and rewards vary depending on the individual terms of the contract of sale. Revenue from services rendered is recognised in profit or loss in proportion to the stage of completion of the transaction at the reporting date. (viii) Research and development costs Expenditure on research activities is recognised in profit or loss when incurred. (ix) Dividend income Dividend income is recognised on the date that the Group s right to receive payment is established, which in the case of quoted securities is the ex-dividend date. (q) Government grants Government grants are recognised initially as deferred income at fair value when there is reasonable assurance that they will be received and that the Group will comply with the conditions associated with the grant and are then recognised in profit or loss as other income on a systematic basis over the useful life of the asset. Grants that compensate the Group for expenses incurred are recognised in profit or loss as other income on a systematic basis in the same periods in which the expenses are recognised. 184
187 185 3 Significant accounting policies (continued) (r) (i) Leases Leased assets Assets held by the Group under leases which transfer to the Group substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. At initial recognition, the leased asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset. Assets held under other leases are classified as operating leases and are not recognised in the Group s consolidated statement of financial position. (ii) Lease payments Payments made under operating leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised as an integral part of the total lease expense, over the term of the lease. Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between the finance expense and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance expense is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. (iii) Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease At inception of an arrangement, the Group determines whether such an arrangement is or contains a lease. The following two criteria must be met for a lease : the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets; and the arrangement contains a right to use the asset(s). At inception or upon reassessment of the arrangement, the Group separates payments and other consideration required by such an arrangement into those for the lease and those for other elements on the basis of their relative fair values. If the Group concludes for a finance lease that it is impracticable to separate the payments reliably, an asset and a liability are recognised at an amount equal to the fair value of the underlying asset. Subsequently the liability is reduced as payments are made and an imputed finance charge on the liability is recognised using the Group s incremental borrowing rate. (s) Finance income and finance costs Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested, foreign currency gains, and gains on derivative instruments that are recognised in profit or loss. Interest income is recognised as it accrues, using the effective interest method. Finance costs comprise interest expense on borrowings, foreign currency losses, and losses on derivative instruments that are recognised in profit or loss. Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method. Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis as either finance income or finance cost depending on whether foreign currency movements are in a net gain or net loss position. (t) Income tax Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income. Doğuş Group Annual Report 2012
188 Doğuş Group 3 Significant accounting policies (continued) (t) Income tax (continued) Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries jointly controlled entities and associates to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future. In addition, deferred tax is not recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. In determining the amount of current and deferred tax the Group takes into account the impact of uncertain tax positions and whether additional taxes and interest may be due. The Group believes that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open tax years based on its assessment of many factors, including interpretations of tax law and prior experience. This assessment relies on estimates and assumptions and may involve a series of judgements about future events. New information may become available that causes the Group to change its judgement regarding the adequacy of existing tax liabilities; such changes to tax liabilities will impact tax expense in the period that such a determination is made. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity. A deferred tax asset is recognised for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductable temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. Deferred taxes related to fair value measurement of available for sale assets and cash flow hedges are charged or credited to equity and subsequently recognised in profit or loss together with the deferred gains that are realised. Deferred taxes related to revaluation surplus reserve are recognised in other comprehensive income in revaluation surplus in equity on a net basis. (u) Assets held for sale or distribution Non-current assets, or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities, that are expected to be recovered primarily through sale or distribution rather than through continuing use, are classified as held for sale or distribution. Immediately before classification as held for sale or distribution, the assets, or components of a disposal group, are remeasured in accordance with the Group s accounting policies. Thereafter generally the assets, or disposal group, are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Any impairment loss on a disposal group is allocated first to goodwill, and then to the remaining assets and liabilities on pro rata basis, except that no loss is allocated to inventories, financial assets, deferred tax assets and investment property, which continue to be measured in accordance with the Group s accounting policies. Impairment losses on initial classification as held for sale or distribution and subsequent gains and losses on remeasurement are recognised in profit or loss. Gains are not recognised in excess of any cumulative impairment loss. 186
189 187 3 Significant accounting policies (continued) (u) Assets held for sale or distribution (continued) Intangible assets and property and equipment once classified as held for sale or distribution are not amortised or depreciated. In addition, equity accounting of associates ceases once classified as held for sale or distribution. (v) Indemnification assets Initial recognition Indemnification assets are an exception to the recognition and measurement principles of IFRS 3. An acquirer recognises indemnification assets at the same time and measures them on the same basis as the indemnified item, subject to contractual limitations and adjustments for collectibility, if applicable. The Group has the right to reimburse the provision for litigation and claims brought through the acquisition of Star TV to Alp Görsel İletişim Anonim Şirketi, the previous shareholder of Star TV, when such legal cases end against the favor of the Group and create a possible cash outlow. Subsequent measurement Subsequent to initial recognition, the acquirer continues to measure an indemnification asset on the same basis as the related indemnified asset or liability and the revision in measurement of the provision due to the subsequent information will be recognised through the profit or loss in contrary of the effect leading the net effect on the profit or loss be equal to zero whereas the decreasing effect on the asset and liability side on the consolidated statement of financial position will be the same. The initial and subsequent accounting for indemnification assets recognised at the acquisition date applies equally to indemnified assets and liabilities that are recognised and measured under the principles of IFRS 3 and those that are subject to exceptions to the recognition or measurement principles of IFRS 3. If the amounts recognised by an acquirer for an indemnified liability and a related indemnification asset recognised at the acquisition date do not change subsequent to the acquisition and ultimately are settled at the amounts recognised in the acquisition accounting, then there will be no net effect on profit or loss providing that those amounts are the same. (w) Items held in trust Assets, other than cash deposits held by Garanti Bank and its subsidiaries in fiduciary or agency capacities for its customers and government entities, are not included in the accompanying consolidated statement of financial position, since such items are not under the ownership of Garanti Bank. (x) Financial guarantees The financial guarantees are contracts that require the Group to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because of a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee liabilities are initially recognised at their fair value, and the initial fair value is amortised over the life of the financial guarantee. The guarantee liability is subsequently carried at the higher of this amortised amount and the present value of any expected payment (when a payment under the guarantee has become probable).

190 Doğuş Group 3 Significant accounting policies (continued) (y) Segment reporting An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Group s other components. All operating segments operating results are reviewed regularly by the CEO ( Chief Executive Officer ) and BOD members to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available. (z) De-merger/ Spin off Economically a de-merger represents a division of an entity into separate parts. The result of a de-merger is that the same shareholders own the same group of businesses; the shareholders structure and their ownership interests are identical both before and after the de-merger. In the absence of further guidance in IFRS, the Group has accounted the de-merger via book values. (µ) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are not yet effective for the year ended 31 December 2012, and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. The following standards and amendments are expected to affect the consolidated financial statements of the Group: Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income require that an entity present separately the items of other comprehensive income that would be reclassified to profit or loss in the future if certain conditions are met from those that would never be reclassified to profit or loss. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements supersedes IAS 27 (2008) and SIC-12 Consolidation-Special Purpose Entities and becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January Retrospective application is required. FRS 11 Joint Arrangements supersedes IAS 31 and SIC-13 Jointly Controlled Entities-Non-Monetary Contributions by Venturers and becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January The proportionate consolidation method currently applied to the Group s interests in joint ventures will be prohibited effective from 1 January 2013 and such interests in joint ventures will be accounted through equity method. Retrospective application is required. IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities contains the disclosure requirements for entities that have interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and/or unconsolidated structured entities and becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January Retrospective application is required. IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement replaces the fair value measurement guidance contained in individual IFRSs with a single source of fair value measurement guidance and becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January Retrospective application is required. IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements (2011) supersedes IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (2008) and becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (2011) supersedes IAS 28 Investments in Associates (2008) and becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013.
191 189 3 Significant accounting policies (continued) (µ) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted (continued) IFRS 9 Financial Instruments could change the classification and measurement of financial assets and becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January Retrospective application is required. IAS 19 changes the definition of short-term and other long-term employee benefits (2011) to clarify the distinction between the two. For defined benefit plans, the accounting policy choice for recognition of actuarial gains and losses and corridor method are removed and IAS 19 revised (2011) is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013 with early adoption permitted. IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial liabilities (Amended): The amendments clarify the meaning of currently has a legally enforceable right to set-off and also clarify the application of the IAS 32 offsetting criteria to settlement systems which apply gross settlement mechanisms that are not simultaneous. These amendments are to be retrospectively applied for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures - Enhanced Derecognition Disclosure Requirements (Amended): New disclosures would provide users of financial statements with information that is useful in (a) evaluating the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entity s financial position and (b) analyzing and comparing financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRSs and other generally accepted accounting standards. The amendments are to be retrospectively applied for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013 and interim periods within those annual periods. The Group does not plan to adopt these standards early and the extent of the impact has not been determined yet. Doğuş Group Annual Report 2012
192 Doğuş Group 4 Determination of fair values A number of the Group s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. Where applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability. (a) Property and equipment The fair value of property and equipment recognised as a result of a business combination is the estimated amount for which a property could be exchanged based on market values. The market value of property is the estimated amount for which a property could be exchanged on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm s length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably. The Group reflects land and buildings at their fair values as appraised by independent third party appraisers. The fair values of land and buildings are determined based on the discounted cash flow method, depreciable replacement cost or market prices for similar items. (b) Intangible assets The fair values of intangible assets, which comprise the broadcasting rights, concession rights for marina management, customer relationship, content library, franchise network, sponsorship contracts and brand names acquired in business combinations, are based on the discounted cash flows expected to be derived from the use and eventual sale of the assets. (c) Investment property External, independent valuation companies, having appropriate recognised professional qualifications and recent experience in the location and category of property being valued, values the Group s investment property portfolio every year. The fair values are based on market values, being the estimated amount for which a property could be exchanged on the date of the valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm s length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably and willingly. In the absence of current prices in an active market, the valuations are prepared by considering the aggregate of the estimated cash flows expected to be received from renting out the property. A yield that reflects the specific risks inherent in the net cash flows then is applied to the net annual cash flows to arrive at the property valuation. Valuations reflect, when appropriate; the type of tenants actually in occupation or responsible for meeting lease commitments or likely to be in occupation after letting vacant accommodation, the allocation of maintenance and insurance responsibilities between the Group and the lessee; and the remaining economic life of the property. When rent reviews or lease renewals are pending with anticipated reversionary increases, it is assumed that all notices and when appropriate counter-notices have been served validly and within the appropriate time. (d) Inventories The fair value of inventories acquired in a business combination is determined based on its estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and sale, and a reasonable profit margin based on the effort required to complete and sell the inventories. (e) Investments in equity and debt securities The fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments and available-for-sale financial assets is determined by reference to their quoted bid price at the reporting date. The fair value of held-to-maturity investments is determined for disclosure purposes only. 190
193 191 4 Determination of fair values (continued) (f) Trade and other receivables The fair value of trade and other receivables, excluding construction work in progress, is estimated as the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date. The fair value is determined for disclosure purposes or when such assets are acquired through a business combination. (g) Derivatives The fair values of forward exchange contracts, options and other derivative contracts are based on their listed market prices, if available. If a listed market price is not available, then fair value is estimated by discounting the difference between the contractual forward price and the current forward price for the residual maturity of the contract using a riskfree interest rate (based on government bonds). The fair value of interest rate swaps is based on broker quotes. Those quotes are tested for reasonableness by discounting estimated future cash flows based on the terms and maturity of each contract and using market interest rates for a similar instrument at the measurement date. Fair values reflect the credit risk of the instrument and include adjustments to take account of the credit risk of the Group entity and counterparty when appropriate. (h) Non-derivative financial liabilities Fair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes, is calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date. For finance leases, the market rate of interest is determined by reference to similar lease agreements. 5 Financial risk management (a) Overview The Group has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments: credit risk liquidity risk market risk operational risk This note presents information about the Group s exposure to each of the above risks, the Group s objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risks, and the Group s management of capital. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout these consolidated financial statements. Risk management framework Enterprise Risk Management ( ERM ) efforts have been initiated by Doğuş Group since 2006 and these efforts have been executed by Doğuş Holding Risk Management Department.

Doğuş Group Annual Report 2012
194 Doğuş Group 5 Financial risk management (continued) (a) Overview (continued) Risk management framework (continued) Downside risks remain significant as a result of renewed setbacks in the euro area and risks of excessive near-term fiscal consolidation in the United States. As for Turkey; risks in relation to balance of payment deficit and weak growth are still of great importance. Nevertheless Group, with diverse business operations in different regions and countries, has already been cognizant of its need to monitor and manage those risks and related impacts on its strategic, business and operation decisions. As for Group s risk management activities in 2012, it was a successful year in terms of maintaining and improving risk management practices both in group and company levels and enhancing the risk culture group wide. Risk Committee meetings are held on regular basis and valuable and relevant risk information is generated discussed and escalated if deemed necessary. In 2010, by the Risk and Audit Committee decision, Group companies created their own Risk Management departments. Now, Doğuş Holding Risk Management works even more closely with the Group companies Risk Management departments to establish a standardised ERM system and obtain accurate information to assess and evaluate the risk taking processes. In addition to establishing an independent reporting infrastructure for Group companies, group-wide awareness for different types of risks and risk management strategies is ensured by periodical risk roundtables, workshops, dashboards and reports throughout the organization. ERM is applied in all Group companies so that all risk is managed effectively within the Group in accordance with the defined risk management strategy, framework and the risk model. ERM is implemented based on an internal framework employing internationally accepted standards and best practices from around the world. This framework is customised according to the needs and structure of the Group s businesses. ERM activities are executed throughout the Group in the following fields: Determining risk management standards and policies, Developing group-wide culture and capabilities, Conducting risk analysis of existing and potential investments, Creating an executive reporting channel of new investments, Determining risk levels, limits and action plans, Supporting the implementation of these action plans, Enhancing strategic processes with a risk management approach. Doğuş Holding s CEO has the ultimate responsibility for ERM and Doğuş Holding s Risk Management Department is under the supervision of Doğuş Holding s CEO and the Risk and Audit Committee which functions under the Board of Directors. The Risk and Audit Committee is responsible for assessing the risk appetite of the shareholders. Additionally, this committee provides guidance to adjust risk levels where needed. Each sector has its own risk committee. Furthermore, internal audit activities performed by Doğuş Holding Internal Audit Department are also implemented on a risk-based perspective, and the risk management performance is assessed throughout the organization with well defined key performance indicators. 192
195 193 5 Financial risk management (continued) Risk management framework (continued) (b) (i) Risk management framework for the corporate segments Automotive DOAŞ s risk management approach can be defined as minimizing the threats towards the organization, personnel and assets using reasonable, justifiable and clearly documented methods and improving the efficiency of oversight activities.

(v) Real Estate, Energy, Marina and other segments Doğuş Holding s Risk Management Department gives support to ensure the application of risk management processes in the Real Estate, Energy, Marina and other businesses. (c) Risk management framework for the banking and finance segment Garanti Bank s Risk Management Strategy is established as part of a maintainable long term, value adding growth strategy. This strategy involves optimal allocation of economic capital to business lines considering the risk-return balance by measuring risks with the methods in compliance with its activities and national regulations and international standards. Garanti Bank determines the necessary approaches in order to update, revise, apply and manage its policies set for the proper assessment and management of risks considering changes in conditions. It is the ultimate responsibility of the top management to apply and improve risk management strategies, policies and procedures that are approved by Garanti Bank Board of Directors, to inform the Board of Directors about the important risks Garanti Bank is exposed to, to assess internal control, internal audit and risk reports with regard to Garanti Bank s departments and to eliminate the risks, deficiencies or defects identified in these departments or to take the necessary precautionary actions to prevent those risks, deficiencies and defects, to participate in the determination of risk limits.

The risks are evaluated on a continuously developing structure that is managed by internationally accepted applications and in compliance with the Bank s policies and procedures and the international and local regulations. The risks are also managed through risk mitigations using hedging transactions beside measurement, limitation and capital allocation techniques. The data of Garanti Bank and the market are regularly monitored for better risk monitoring and management. As part of limitation of risks, internal limits are also set beside the legal limits. The possible changes in economic conditions and the risks that can be faced under extraordinary conditions are taken into consideration. 194
197 195 5 Financial risk management (continued) (c) Risk management framework for the banking and finance segment (continued) In order to ensure the compliance with the rules altered pursuant to the Articles 23, 29 and 31 of the Turkish Banking Law No and the Articles 20, 36, 40, 60 and 71 of Regulation on Internal Systems of Banks published in the Official Gazette dated 28 June 2012, Garanti Bank periodically reviews the current written policies and implementation procedures regarding management of each risk encountered in its activities. Garanti Bank purchased an integrated software system to place better risk management and Basel II applications in order to support and improve risk management activities. The Basel II application has became mandatory for all the banks operating in Turkey effective from 1 July (i) Audit Committee The Audit Committee consists of two members of the Board of Directors of Garanti Bank who do not have any executive functions. The Audit Committee, which was established to assist the Board of Directors of Garanti Bank in its auditing and supervising activities, is responsible for: Monitoring the effectiveness and adequacy of Garanti Bank s internal control, risk management and internal audit systems, operation of these systems and accounting and reporting systems in accordance with applicable regulations and the integrity of resulting information; Performing the preliminary studies required for the election of independent audit firms and regularly monitoring their activities; Ensuring that the internal audit functions of subsidiaries are performed in a consolidated and coordinated manner. (ii) Liquidity Risk Management Committee The Liquidity Risk Management Committee is responsible for: Determining the excess liquidity that Garanti Bank holds in foreign currencies; Periodically monitoring the liquidity report and early-warning signals; Determining the stress level of Garanti Bank; monitoring internal and external factors that might affect Garanti Bank s liquidity in case of a liquidity crisis; Ensuring that the action plan aligned with the Contingency Funding Plan is properly implemented; Determining measures required by Garanti Bank s customer confidence, cost of funding and key liquidity increasing strategies, and ensuring internal communication and coordination with regard to the implementation of committee decisions. (iii) Other committees Market, credit and operational sub-risk committees have been established in order to facilitate exchange of information and views with the relevant units of Garanti Bank and to promote the use of risk management and internal audit systems within Garanti Bank. (iv) Derivative financial instruments Garanti Bank and its subsidiaries enter into a variety of derivative financial instruments for hedging and risk management purposes. This note describes the derivatives used. Further details of the objectives and strategies in the use of derivatives are set out in the sections of this note on non-trading activities. Details of the nature and terms of derivative instruments outstanding at the reporting dates are set out in Note 41. Derivative financial instruments used include swaps, futures, forwards, options and other similar types of contracts whose values change in response to the changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and gold prices. Derivatives are individually negotiated over-the-counter contracts. Doğuş Group Annual Report 2012
198 Doğuş Group 5 Financial risk management (continued) (c) (iv) Risk management framework for the banking and finance segment (continued) Derivative financial instruments (continued) A description of the main types of derivative instruments used is set out below: Swaps Swaps are over-the-counter agreements to exchange future cash flows based upon agreed notional amounts. Most commonly used swaps are currency swaps. Garanti Bank and its subsidiaries are subject to credit risk arising from the respective counterparties failure to perform. Market risk arises from the possibility of unfavorable movements in market rates relative to the contractual rates of the contract. Futures and forwards Futures and forward contracts are commitments to either purchase or sell a designated financial instrument, currency, commodity or an index at a specified future date for a specified price and may be settled in cash or another financial asset. Futures are standardised exchange-traded contracts whereas forwards are individually traded over-the-counter contracts. Initial margin requirements for futures are met in cash or other instruments, and changes in the future contract values are settled daily. Therefore credit risk is limited to the net positive change in the market value for a single day. Futures contracts have little credit risk because the counterparties are futures exchanges. Forward contracts result in credit exposure to the counterparty. Futures and forward contracts both result in exposure to market risk based on changes in market prices relative to contracted amounts. Options Options are derivative financial instruments that give the buyer, in exchange for a premium payment, the right, but not the obligation, to either purchase from (call option) or sell (put option) to the writer a specified underlying at a specified price on or before a specified date. Garanti Bank enters into foreign exchange, bond, equity index, interest rate options, not only vanilla options but also exotic options. Foreign currency options provide protection against rising or falling currency rates. Garanti Bank as a buyer of over-the-counter options is subject to market risk and credit risk since the counterparty is obliged to make payments under the terms of the contract if Garanti Bank exercises the option. As the writer of over-thecounter options, Garanti Bank is subject to market risk only since it is obliged to make payments if the option is exercised. (v) Trading activities Garanti Bank and its subsidiaries maintain active trading positions in non-derivative financial instruments. Most of the trading activities are customer driven. In anticipation of customer demand, an inventory of capital market instruments is carried and access to market liquidity is maintained by quoting bid and offer prices to and trading with other market makers. Positions are also taken in the interest rate, foreign exchange, debt and equity markets based on expectations of future market conditions. These activities constitute the proprietary trading business and enable Garanti Bank and its subsidiaries to provide customers with capital market products at competitive prices. As trading strategies depend on both market-making and proprietary positions, given the relationships between instruments and markets, those are managed in concert to maximise net trading income. Trading activities are managed by type of risk involved and on the basis of the categories of trading instruments held. 196
199 197 5 Financial risk management (continued) (d) (i) Credit risk Banking and finance segment Garanti Bank and its subsidiaries counterparty credit exposure at the reporting date from financial instruments held or issued for trading purposes is represented by the fair value of instruments with a positive fair value at that date, as recorded on the consolidated statement of financial position. Notional amounts disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements do not represent the amounts to be exchanged by the parties to derivatives and do not measure the exposure to credit or market risks. The amounts to be exchanged are based on the terms of the derivatives. The risk that counterparties to trading instruments might default on their obligations is monitored on an ongoing basis. In monitoring credit risk exposure, consideration is given to trading instruments with a positive fair value and to the volatility of the fair value of trading instruments. To manage the level of credit risk, Garanti Bank and its subsidiaries deal with counterparties of good credit standing, enter into master netting agreements whenever possible, and when appropriate, obtain collateral. Master netting agreements provide for the net settlement of contracts with the same counterparty in the event of default. Garanti Bank and its subsidiaries are subject to credit risk through their trading, lending, hedging and investing activities and in cases where they act as intermediaries on behalf of customers or other third parties or issues guarantees. Credit risk associated with trading and investing activities is managed through Garanti Bank s market risk management process. Garanti Bank and its subsidiaries primary exposures to credit risk arise through their loans and advances. The amount of credit exposure in this regard is represented by the carrying amounts of these assets on the consolidated statement of financial position. Garanti Bank developed a statistical-based internal risk rating model for its credit portfolio of corporate/ commercial/medium-sized companies. This internal risk rating model has been in use for customer credibility assessment since 2003 and is currently being reviewed and updated. Risk rating has become a requirement for loan applications, and ratings are used both to determine branch managers credit authorisation limits and in credit assessment process. Garanti Bank and its subsidiaries are exposed to credit risk on various other financial assets, including derivative instruments used for hedging and debt investments. The current credit exposure in respect of these instruments is equal to the carrying amount of these assets in the consolidated statement of financial position. In addition, Garanti Bank and its subsidiaries are exposed to off statement of financial position credit risk through guarantees issued (Note 41). The risk that counterparties to both derivative and other instruments might default on their obligations is monitored on an ongoing basis. To manage the level of credit risk, Garanti Bank and its subsidiaries deal with counterparties of good credit standing, enter into master netting agreements whenever possible, and when appropriate, obtain collateral. Concentrations of credit risk (whether on or off statement of financial position) that arise from financial instruments exist for groups of counterparties when they have similar economic characteristics that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic or other conditions. Impaired loans Impaired loans are those which Garanti Bank determines that it is probable that it will be unable to collect all principal and interest due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement due to lack of assets, high debtness ratio, insufficient working capital and/or equity of the customer. Doğuş Group Annual Report 2012
200 Doğuş Group 5 Financial risk management (continued) (d) (i) Credit risk (continued) Banking and finance segment (continued) Allowance for impaired loans Garanti Bank establishes an allowance for impairment losses that represents its estimate of incurred losses in its loan portfolio. The main components of this allowance are a specific loss component that relates to individually significant exposures, and a portfolio-basis loan loss allowance established for groups of homogeneous assets in respect of losses that have been incurred but have not been identified on loans subject to individual assessment for impairment. Write-off policy Garanti Bank writes off a receivable balance (and any related allowances for impairment losses) when it is determined that the receivable is uncollectible based on the evidence of insolvency issued by the Court. In cases where any possible collections are negligible comparing to the prospective expenses and costs, such receivables are written off by the decision of the Board of Directors. Collateral policy Garanti Bank s policy is to require suitable collateral to be provided by certain customers prior to the disbursement of approved loans. Garanti Bank and its subsidiaries currently hold collateral against banking loans and advances to customers in the form of mortgage interests over property, other registered securities over assets and guarantees. Collateral generally is not held over banking loans and advances to banks, except when securities are held as part of reverse repurchase and securities borrowing activity. Collateral usually is not held against investment securities, and no such collateral was held at 31 December 2012 and (ii) Other corporate segments Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group s receivables from customers and investment securities. Accounts receivable The Group s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer of the segments other than banking and finance. The demographics of the Group s customer base, including the default risk of the industry and country in which customers operate has an influence on credit risk. Since the Group mainly operates in construction, automotive, media, real estate and tourism businesses, geographically the concentration of credit risk for the Group s entities operating in the mentioned businesses are mainly in Turkey. Majority of accounts receivable in the automotive business segment is due from dealers. Entities operating under automotive business segment have set an effective control mechanism to follow up and limit the risk for each counter party and obtain letters of guarantee from its dealers against its receivables for vehicle and spare part sales. The companies operating under the segments other than banking and finance segment and automotive segment have set a credit policy under which each new customer is analysed individually for the creditworthiness before each company s standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. 198
201 199 5 Financial risk management (continued) (d) (ii) Credit risk (continued) Other corporate segments (continued) Accounts receivable (continued) In monitoring customer credit risk, customers are grouped according to their credit characteristics, including whether they are a dealer, tourism agency, retail or end-user customer, geographic location, industry, aging profile, maturity and existence of previous financial difficulties. The Group establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of accounts receivable. The component of this allowance is a specific loss component that relates to individually significant exposures. The Group establishes an allowance for impairment losses that represent its estimate of incurred losses in its receivables portfolio. The Group sets impairment for its receivables if there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due. The amount of the provision is the difference between the carrying amount and the recoverable amount, being the present value of all cash flows, including amounts recoverable from guarantees and collateral discounted based on the original effective interest rate of the originated receivables at inception. Guarantees In general terms, the Group s policy is to provide guarantees to its Group entities in terms of sureties, letters of guarantee in the nature of the businesses that each entity operates. (e) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Group s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group s reputation. (i) Banking and finance segment Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that Garanti Bank may not be able to fullfil its payment obligations in a timely manner due to the lack of available cash or cash inflows in quality and in quantity to cover the cash outflows in a complete and timely manner due to imbalances in the cash flows of of Garanti Bank and its subsidiaries. In order to manage the liquidity risk, Garanti Bank and its subsidiaries diversify their funding sources considering their short and long term liquidity requirements, through instruments such as customer deposits, repurchase transactions, bond issuances and foreign borrowings. Besides, in order to secure the maturity match between the assets and liabilities, the strategies for maturity extension of funding, exist. The liquidity needs in different currencies are managed through transactions such as currency swaps. In order to meet the cash outflow requirements during crises periods, high-liquid asset reserves are maintained. In the context of Turkish Lira and foreign currencies liquidity management, Garanti Bank monitors the cash flows regarding assets and liabilities and forecast the required liquidity in future periods. By monitoring stress conditions, necessary measures shall be taken in line with liquidity needs. There exists a contingency funding plan that includes the mechanisms to prevent a liquidity risk increase under ordinary operations and liquidity crisis scenarios under various conditions and levels of stress. Available liquid sources are determined by considering the liquidity crisis. As per this plan, the liquidity risk is monitored through possible actions and scenarios at various stress levels of liquidity risks and early warning signals. Doğuş Group Annual Report 2012
202 Doğuş Group 5 Financial risk management (continued) (e) (i) Liquidity risk (continued) Banking and finance segment (continued) Exposure to liquidity risk The calculation method used to measure Garanti Bank s compliance with the liquidity limit is set by BRSA. Currently, this calculation is performed on a bank only basis. In November 2006, BRSA issued a new communiqué on the measurement of liquidity adequacy of banks. The legislation requires the banks to meet minimum 80 percent liquidity ratio of foreign currency assets/liabilities and minimum 100 percent liquidity ratio of total assets/liabilities on a weekly and monthly basis effective from 1 June Garanti Bank s liquidity ratios for 2012 and 2011 are as follows: 2012 First Maturity Bracket (Weekly) Second Maturity Bracket (Monthly) FC FC + TL FC FC + TL Average (%) First Maturity Bracket (Weekly) Second Maturity Bracket (Monthly) FC FC + TL FC FC + TL Average (%) Garanti Bank s banking subsidiary in the Netherlands is not subject to a similar liquidity measurement, however the Dutch Central Bank requires the bank to have a positive liquidity gap, i.e. the liquidity gap should be greater than zero. Garanti Bank s banking subsidiary in Russia is subject to three levels of liquidity requirement; instant liquidity of minimum 15 percent, current liquidity of minimum 50 percent and long-term liquidity of maximum 120 percent. Garanti Bank s banking subsidiary in Romania calculates the liquidity ratio as a ratio of total effective liquidity in local currency equivalent to total necessary liquidity in local currency equivalent for several individual time buckets (<1 month, 1-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-12 months, >1 year) and each ratio for each bucket should be >1. (ii) Other corporate segments Typically, the Group entities operating under other corporate segments ensure that they have sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses in terms of the relevant characteristics of the businesses they operate, including the servicing of financial obligations; this excludes the potential impact of extreme circumstances that cannot reasonably be predicted, such as natural disasters. For the entities operating under automotive business segment, risk of funding current and potential requirements is mitigated by ensuring the availability of adequate number of creditworthy lending parties. Entities operating under automotive business segment, in order to minimise liquidity risk, hold adequate cash and available line of credit (including factoring capacity). 200
203 201 5 Financial risk management (continued) (f) (i) Market risk Banking and finance segment All trading instruments are subject to market risk, the risk that future changes in market conditions may make an instrument less valuable or more onerous. Those instruments are recognised at fair value, and all changes in market conditions directly affect trading gain/(loss), net. Garanti Bank and its subsidiaries manage their use of trading instruments in response to changing market conditions. Market risks arising from trading transactions are measured by internal risk measurement model using ( VaR ) methodology. In the VaR calculations, trading and available-for-sale portfolios are taken into account. VaR is calculated by three different methods, namely historical simulation, Monte Carlo simulation and parametric method. Garanti Bank takes the historical VaR results as the basis for the internal management of market risk and determination of limits. The calculations made according to other two methods are used for comparison and monitoring purposes. In the VaR calculation, one year historical market data set is used, and 99 percent confidence interval and one-day retention period are taken into account. In order to test the reliability of the VaR model, back tests are performed. Stress tests and scenario analysis are also applied in order to reflect the effects of prospective severe market fluctuations in the VaR calculations. Internal limits are set as well as legal limits in order to restrict market risk; value at risk limits for trading portfolio, position limits set for trading desks, single transaction limits set for traders and stop-loss limits. Approval, update, monitoring, override and warning procedures of these limits are put into practice and changed with the approval of the Board of Directors of Garanti Bank. The capital requirement for general market risk and specific risks is calculated using the standard method defined by the Regulation on Measurement and Assessment of Capital Adequacy Ratios of Banks as set out by the BRSA and reported monthly. Currency risk Garanti Bank and its subsidiaries are exposed to currency risk through transactions in foreign currencies and through their investments in foreign operations. Garanti Bank and its subsidiaries main foreign operations are in the Netherlands and Russia. The measurement currencies of these operations are Euro and USD. As the currency in which Garanti Bank presents its consolidated financial statements is TL, the consolidated financial statements are affected by currency exchange rate fluctuations against TL. Garanti Bank finances a significant portion of its net investment in foreign operations with borrowings in the same currencies as the relevant measurement currencies to mitigate its currency risk. Currency swaps are also used to match the currency of some of its other borrowings to the measurement currencies involved. Garanti Bank and its subsidiaries transactional exposures give rise to foreign currency gains and losses that are recognised in profit or loss. These exposures comprise the monetary assets and monetary liabilities that are not denominated in the measurement currency of Garanti Bank involved. The short positions in the consolidated statement of financial position of Garanti Bank and its subsidiaries are hedged by currency swaps, forward contracts and other derivatives entered into to manage these currency exposures. In respect of monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies that are not economically hedged, Garanti Bank and its subsidiaries ensure that their net exposures are kept to an acceptable level by buying and selling foreign currencies at spot rates when considered appropriate. Doğuş Group Annual Report 2012
204 Doğuş Group 5 Financial risk management (continued) (f) (i) Market risk (continued) Banking and finance segment (continued) Interest rate risk Garanti Bank and its subsidiaries operations are subject to the risk of interest rate fluctuations to the extent that interestearning assets (including investments) and interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice at different times or in differing amounts. In the case of floating rate assets and liabilities, Garanti Bank and its subsidiaries are also exposed to basis risk, which is the difference in repricing characteristics of the various floating rate indices, such as the deposit rate and libor and different types of interest. Treasury activities are aimed at optimising net interest income, given market interest rate levels consistent with Garanti Bank s business strategies. In general, as common in current economic environment, the consolidated financial statements are liability sensitive because its interest-earning assets have a longer duration and reprice slightly less frequently than interest-bearing liabilities. This means that in rising interest rate environments, margins earned will narrow as liabilities reprice. However, the actual effect will depend on a number of factors, including the extent to which repayments are made earlier or later than the contracted dates and variations in interest rate sensitivity within repricing periods and among currencies. Interest rate derivatives are primarily used to bridge the mismatch in the repricing of assets and liabilities. This is done in accordance with the guidelines established by Garanti Bank s Assets and Liabilities Management Committee. Some assets have no defined maturities or interest rate sensitivities and are not readily matched with specific liabilities. Those assets are funded through liability pools based on the assets estimated maturities and repricing characteristics. Part of Garanti Bank s return on financial instruments is obtained from controlled mismatching of the dates on which interest receivable on assets and interest payable on liabilities are next reset to market rates or, if earlier, the dates on which the instruments mature. The measurement process of interest rate risk resulting from banking book, is established and managed by Garanti Bank on a bank-only basis to include the interest rate positions defined as banking book and to consider the relevant repricing and maturity data. Duration gaps, gaps by maturity buckets and sensitivity analysis are used in monitoring of repricing risk resulting from maturity mismatch. In the duration gap analysis, the present values of interest-rate-sensitive asset and liability items are calculated using yield curves developed from market interest rates. In case of instruments with no maturities assigned, the maturity is determined as per interest rate fixing periods and customer behaviours. Such results are supported by sensitivity and scenario analysis applied periodically for possible instabilities in the markets. The interest rate risk on the interest-rate-sensitive financial instruments of the trading portfolio is evaluated as part of the market risk. 202
205 203 5 Financial risk management (continued) (f) (i) Market risk (continued) Banking and finance segment (continued) Interest rate risk (continued) Economic value differences resulted from intrest rate instabilities calculated on a bank-only basis for the banking book according to the relevant legislation as per the standard shock method is as follows; Type of Currency Shocks applied ( +/ - basis points) Gains / Losses (Group share) Gains / Equity - Losses / Equity (Group share) TL (+) 500 bps (675,528) (12.92) percent TL (-) 400 bps 661, percent USD (+) 200 bps 3, percent USD (-) 200 bps (14,904) (0.28) percent Euro (+) 200 bps (18,333) (0.35) percent Euro (-) 200 bps 19, percent Total (of negative shocks) 666, percent Total (of positive shocks) (690,273) (13.20)percent (ii) Other corporate segments Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices, will affect the Group s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return. Currency risk The Group is exposed to currency risk on sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of Group entities, primarily USD, but also Euro, Swiss Francs ( CHF ), Sterling ( GBP ), Libyan Dinar ( LYD ), Japanese Yen ( JPY ), Croatian Kuna ( HRK ), Romanian Leu ( RON ) and Ukranian Hryvnia ( UAH ). The currencies in which these transactions primarily are denominated are TL, Euro and USD. In respect of other monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, the Group ensures that its net exposure is kept to an acceptable level by buying or selling foreign currencies at spot rates when necessary to address short-term imbalances. The Group is exposed to currency risk through the impact of rate changes on the translation of foreign currency denominated payables and bank borrowings from financial institutions. Such risk is monitored by the Board of Directors and limited through taking positions within approved limits as well as using derivative instruments where necessary. To minimise risk arising from foreign currency denominated statement of financial position items, the Group sometimes utilises derivative instruments as well as keeping part of its idle cash in foreign currencies.

206 Doğuş Group 5 Financial risk management (continued) (g) (i) Operational risk Banking and finance segment Operational risk expresses the probability of loss that may arise from the overlook of faults and inconsistency with the established rules due to the deficiencies in Garanti Bank and its subsidiaries internal controls, manner of the management and the personnel that are not in coherence with time and conditions, deficiencies in the bank management, faults and problems in information technology systems and disasters such as earthquake, fire, flood or terror attacks. The operational risk items in Garanti Bank are determined in accordance with the definition of operational risk by considering Garanti Bank s whole processes, products and departments. The control areas are set for operational risks within Garanti Bank and all operational risks are followed by assigning the risks to these control areas. In this context, appropriate monitoring methodology is developed for each control area that covers all operational risks and control frequencies are determined. Currently, the value at operational risk is calculated according to the basic indicator approach as per the Article 14 of Regulation on Measurement and Assessment of Capital Adequacy Ratios of Banks as pronounced by BRSA. The annual gross income is defined as net interest income plus net non-interest income reduced by realised gains/losses from the sale of securities available-for-sale and held-to-maturity, non-recurring gains and income derived from insurance claims. The result is added to risk weighted assets in the capital adequacy calculation. Capital management regulatory capital BRSA sets and monitors capital requirements for Garanti Bank as a whole. The parent company and individual banking operations are directly supervised by their local regulators. In implementing current capital requirements, BRSA requires the banks to maintain a prescribed ratio of minimum 8 percent of total capital to total value at credit, market and operational risks. Garanti Bank and its subsidiaries consolidated regulatory capital is analysed into two tiers: Tier 1 capital, which includes paid-in capital, share premium, legal reserves, retained earnings, translation reserve and non-controlling interest after deductions for goodwill and certain cost items. Tier 2 capital, which includes qualifying subordinated liabilities, general impairment allowances and the element of the fair value reserve relating to unrealised gain/loss on assets classified as available-for-sale. Banking operations are categorised as either trading book or banking book, and risk-weighted assets are determined according to specified requirements that seek to reflect the varying levels of risk attached to assets and off-balance sheet exposures. Garanti Bank s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. The impact of the level of capital on shareholders return is also recognised and Garanti Bank recognises the need to maintain a balance between the higher returns that might be possible with greater gearing and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position. There have been no material changes in the Garanti Bank s management of capital during the period. Starting from 1 July 2012, the capital adequacy ratio is calculated within the scope of the Regulation on Measurement and Assessment of Capital Adequacy Ratios of Banks (the Regulation ), Regulation on Credit Risk Mitigation Techniques and Regulation on Calculation of Risk Weighted Amounts for Securitisations published in the Official Gazette no dated 28 June 2012 and the Regulation on Equities of Banks published in the Official Gazette no dated 1 November
207 205 5 Financial risk management (continued) (g) (i) Operational risk (continued) Banking and finance segment (continued) Capital management regulatory capital (continued) In calculation of capital adequacy ratio, the data prepared from accounting records in compliance with the current legislation are used. Such accounting data is included in the calculation of credit and market risks subsequent to their designation as trading book and banking book according to the Regulation. The items classified as trading book and the items deducted from the equity are not included in the calculation of credit risk. In the calculation of risk weighted assets, the assets subject to amortisation or impairment, are taken into account on a net basis after being reduced by the related amortisations and provisions. In the calculation of the value at credit risk for the non-cash loans and commitments and the receivables from counterparties in such transactions are weighted after netting with specific provisions that are classified under liabilities and calculated based on the Regulation on Identification of and Provision against Non-Performing Loans and Other Receivables. The net amounts are then multiplied by the rates stated in the Article 5 of the Regulation, reduced as per the Regulation on Credit Risk Mitigation Techniques and then included in the relevant exposure category defined in the article 6 of the Regulation and weighted as per Appendix-1 of the Regulation. In the calculation of the value at credit risk for the derivative financial instruments and the credit derivaties classified in banking book, the receivables from counterparties are multiplied by the rates stated in the Appendix-2 of the Regulation, reduced as per the Regulation on Credit Risk Mitigation Techniques and then included in the relevant exposure category defined in the article 6 of the Regulation and weighted as per Appendix-1 of the Regulation. As per the article 5 of the Regulation, the counterparty credit risk is calculated for repurchase transactions, securities and commodities borrowing agreements. Garanti Bank s and its subsidiaries regulatory capital position on a consolidated basis as at 31 December 2012 is as follows: 2012 (*) Tier 1 capital 4,977,739 Tier 2 capital 475,361 Deductions from capital (40,561) Total regulatory capital 5,412,539 Value at credit, market and operational risks 32,080,677 Capital ratios (%) Total regulatory capital expressed as a percentage of total value at credit, market and operational risks Total tier 1 capital expressed as a percentage of total value at credit, market and operational risks (*) The amounts are presented in terms of proportionate ownership interest of the Group. The prior period s capital adequacy ratio is not presented above as the calculation base has changed to Basel II starting from 1 July 2012 as stated above. The capital ratios as per the previous legislation were percent and percent, respectively, as at 31 December Doğuş Group Annual Report 2012
208 Doğuş Group 5 Financial risk management (continued) (g) (i) Operational risk (continued) Banking and finance segment (continued) Hedging Due to Garanti Bank and its subsidiaries overall interest rate risk position and funding structure, its risk management policies require that it should minimise its exposure to changes in foreign currency rates and manage interest rate, credit risk and market price risk exposure within certain guidelines. Derivative financial instruments are used to manage the potential earnings impact of interest rate and foreign currency movements. Several types of derivative financial instruments are used for this purpose, including interest rate swaps and currency swaps, options, financial futures, forward contracts and other derivatives. The purpose of the hedging activities is to protect Garanti Bank and its subsidiaries from the risk that the net cash inflows will be adversely affected by changes in interest or exchange rates, credit ratings or market prices. Garanti Bank and its subsidiaries enter into transactions to ensure that they are economically hedged in accordance with risk management policies. In the accompanying consolidated financial statements, hedge accounting is applied for the cases where hedge accounting relationship is evidenced. Garanti Bank enters into various interest rate swap transactions in order to hedge its certain cash flow and fair value exposures on floating/fixed rate assets and liabilities, through converting its floating/fixed rate income/payments into fixed/ floating rate income/payments. There are no outstanding cash flow or fair value hedges as of 31 December Garanti Bank has applied fair value hedge accounting for the fixed rate eurobonds issued in 2011 with a total face value of USD million (Group share) with maturity of 10 years and maturity date of 20 April 2021 which were priced at percent originally and had a coupon rate of 6.25 percent, by designating interest rate swaps with the same face value amount and conditions. On 5 June 2012, Garanti Bank ceased to apply hedge accounting and accordingly fair value calculations for these bonds. The accumulated fair value incurred starting from the date of hedge accounting up to the date on which it was ceased, is amortised. (ii) Other corporate segments Due to the Group s overall interest rate risk position and funding structure, its risk management policies require that it should minimise its exposure to changes in interest rate. Derivative financial instruments are used to manage the potential earnings impact of interest rate and foreign currency movements. Several types of derivative financial instruments are used for this purpose, including interest rate swaps and currency swaps, options, financial futures, forward contracts and other derivatives. The purpose of the hedging activities is to protect the Group from the risk that the net cash inflows will be adversely affected by changes in interest rates. 206

235 Taxation In Turkey, corporate income tax is levied at the rate of 20 percent (31 December 2011: 20 percent) on the statutory corporate income tax base, which is determined by modifying accounting income for certain exclusions and allowances for tax purposes. According to the Corporate Tax Law, 75 percent of the capital gains arising from the sale of tangible assets and investments owned for at least two years are exempted from corporate tax on the condition that such gains are reflected in the equity until the end of the fifth year following the sale. The remaining 25 percent of such capital gains are subject to corporate tax. There is also a withholding tax on the dividends paid and is accrued only at the time of such payments. The withholding tax rate on the dividend payments other than the ones paid to the non-resident institutions generating income in Turkey through their operations or permanent representatives and the resident institutions is 15 percent. In applying the withholding tax rates on dividend payments to the non-resident institutions and the individuals, the withholding tax rates covered in the related Double Tax Treaty Agreements are taken into account. Appropriation of retained earnings to capital is not considered as profit distribution and therefore is not subject to withholding tax. The transfer pricing law is covered under Article 13 disguised profit distribution via transfer pricing of the Corporate Tax Law. The General Communiqué on disguised profit distribution via transfer pricing dated 18 November 2007 sets details about implementation. If a tax payer enters into transactions regarding sale or purchase of goods and services with related parties, where the prices are not set in accordance with arm s length basis, then related profits are considered to be distributed in a disguised manner through transfer pricing. Such disguised profit distributions through transfer pricing are not accepted as a tax deductable for corporate income tax purposes. In Turkey, the tax legislation does not permit a parent company and its subsidiaries to file a consolidated tax return. Therefore, provision for taxes shown in the consolidated financial statements reflects the total amount of taxes calculated on each entity that are included in the consolidation. Under the Turkish taxation system, tax losses can be carried forward to be offset against future taxable income for up to five years. Tax losses cannot be carried back. In Turkey, there is no procedure for a final and definitive agreement on tax assessments. Companies file their tax returns within four months following the close of the accounting year to which they relate. Tax returns are open for five years from the beginning of the year that follows the date of filing during which time the tax authorities have the right to audit tax returns, and the related accounting records on which they are based, and may issue re-assessments based on their findings. Investment allowance The Temporary Article 69 added to the Income Tax Law no.193 with the Law no.5479, which became effective starting from 1 January 2006, upon being promulgated in the Official Gazette no dated 8 April 2006, stating that taxpayers can deduct the amount of the investment allowance exemption which they are entitled to according to legislative provisions effective at 31 December 2005 (including rulings on the tax rate) only from the taxable income of 2006, 2007 and Accordingly, the investment incentive allowance practice was ended as at 1 January At this perspective, an investment allowance which cannot be deducted partially or fully in three years time was not allowed to be carried forward to the following years and became unavailable as at 31 December On the other side, the Article 19 of the Income Tax Law was annulled and the investment allowance practice was ended as at 1 January 2006 with effectiveness of the Article 2 and the Article 15 of the Law no.5479 and the investment allowance rights on the investment expenditures incurred during the period of 1 January 2006 and 8 April 2006 became unavailable. Doğuş Group Annual Report 2012
236 Doğuş Group 14 Taxation (continued) Investment allowance (continued) However, on 15 October 2009, the Turkish Constitutional Court decided to cancel the clause no.2 of the Article 15 of the Law no.5479 and the expressions of 2006, 2007, 2008 in the Temporary Article 69 related to investment allowance mentioned above that enables effectiveness of the Law as at 1 January 2006 rather than 8 April 2006, since it is against the Constitution. Accordingly, the time limitations for the investment allowances carried forward that were entitled to prior to mentioned date and the limitations related with the investment expenditures incurred between the issuance date of the Law promulgated and 1 January 2006 were eliminated. According to the decision of Turkish Constitutional Court, cancellation related with the investment allowance became effective with promulgation of the decision on the Official Gazette and the decision of the Turkish Constitutional Court was promulgated in the Official Gazette no dated 8 January According to the decision mentioned above, the investment allowances carried forward to the year 2006 due to the lack of taxable income and the investment allowances earned through the investments started before 1 January 2006 and continued after that date constituting economic and technical integrity will be used not only in 2006, 2007 and 2008, but also in the following years. In addition, 40 percent of investment expenditures that are realised between 1 January 2006 and 8 April 2006, within the context of the Article 19 of the Income Tax Law will have the right for investment allowance exemption. New treatment on investment incentive was introduced by the Law no Law on the Amendment of the Income Tax Law and Certain Laws and Decree Laws which was promulgated in the Official Gazette on 1 August As per the new regulation, the investment allowances that cannot be benefited and transferred to future periods due to insufficient income level of the relevant year, can be used without any year limitation, however the investment allowance amount to be considered in the determination of taxable income, will not exceed 25 percent of the income of the relevant year. The Article 5 of the Law no regarding investment allowance exemption for taxation and the cancelation of the article was promulgated in the Official Gazette no dated 18 February Accordingly, taxpayers are allowed to benefit from the investment incentive without any limitation. Tax applications for foreign branches of Garanti Bank Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus According to the Corporate Tax Law of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus no.41/1976 as amended, the corporate earnings (including foreign corporations) are subject to a 10 percent (31 December 2011: 10 percent) corporate tax and 15 percent (31 December 2011: 15 percent) income tax. This tax is calculated based on the income that the taxpayers earn in an accounting period. Tax base is determined by modifying accounting income for certain exclusions and allowances for tax purposes. The corporations cannot benefit from the rights of offsetting losses, investment incentives and amortisation unless they prepare and have certified their statements of financial position, statements of comprehensive income and accounting records used for tax calculations by an auditor authorised by the Ministry of Finance. In cases where it is revealed that the earnings of a corporation were not subject to taxation in prior years or the tax paid on such earnings are understated, additional taxes can be charged in the next 12 years following the related taxation period.

The Group management forecasted to generate taxable income during 2013 and the years thereafter and based on this forecast, it has been assessed as probable that the deferred tax assets resulting from tax losses carried forward in the amount of TL 592,280 thousand (31 December 2011: TL 317,680 thousand) will be realisable; hence, such realisable deferred tax assets in the amount of TL 118,456 thousand (31 December 2011: TL 63,536 thousand) are recognised in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the currency income taxes relate to the same fiscal authority. 238

Statistical valuation methods were developed to estimate the enterprise s obligation under defined benefit plans. Accordingly, the following statistical assumptions were used in the calculation of the total liability: % % Discount rate Interest rate Expected rate of salary/limit increase The range of turnover rate to estimate the probability retirement The computation of the liability is predicated upon retirement pay ceiling announced by the Government. As at 31 December 2012, the ceiling amount was TL 3.03 thousand ( 31 December 2011: TL 2.73 thousand). 268
271 Retirement benefit obligation Defined benefit plan As a result of the changes in legislation described below, Garanti Bank will transfer a substantial portion of its pension liability under defined benefit plan ( the Plan ) to SSF. This transfer, which will be a settlement of Garanti Bank s obligation in respect of the pension and medical benefits transferable to SSF, was originally set to be within three years from the enactment of the New Law in May 2008, however, has been postponed for two years as per the decision of the Council of Ministers published on 9 April 2011 as further explained below. The actual date of the transfer has not been specified yet. However, in its financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2007, Garanti Bank has modified the accounting required by IAS 19 Employee Benefits as Garanti Bank believes that it is more appropriate to measure the obligation, in respect of the benefits that will be transferred to SSF, at the expected transfer amount prior to the date on which the transfer and settlement will occur. The expected transfer amount is calculated based on the methodology and actuarial assumptions (discount rate and mortality tables) prescribed in the New Law. As such, this calculation measures the liability to be transferred at the expected settlement amount i.e., the expected value of the payment to be made to SSF to assume that obligation. The obligation with respect to the excess benefits is accounted for as a defined benefit plan under IAS 19. (i) Pension and medical benefits transferable to SSF As per the provisional Article no.23 of the Turkish Banking Law no.5411 as approved by the Turkish Parliament on 19 October 2005, pension funds which are in essence similar to foundations are required to be transferred directly to SSF within a period of three years. In accordance with the Banking Law, the actuarial calculation of the liability (if any) on the transfer should be performed regarding the methodology and parameters determined by the commission established by Ministry of Labor and Social Security. Accordingly, Garanti Bank calculated the pension benefits transferable to SSF in accordance with the Decree published by the Council of Ministers in the Official Gazette no dated 15 December 2006 ( the Decree ) for the purpose of determining the principles and procedures to be applied during the transfer of funds. However, the said Article was vetoed by the President and at 2 November 2005 the President initiated a lawsuit before the Turkish Constitutional Court in order to rescind certain paragraphs of the provisional article no.23. Garanti Bank obtained an actuarial report regarding its obligations at 31 December This report, which was dated 12 February 2007, is from an actuary, who is registered with the Undersecretariat of the Treasury regarding this Fund in accordance with the Decree. Based on this Decree, the actuarial statement of financial position of the Fund has been prepared using a discount rate of percent and the CSO 1980 mortality table. Based on the actuarial report, the assets of the plan exceed the amount that would be required to be paid to transfer the obligation at 31 December In accordance with the existing legislation at 31 December 2006, the pension and medical benefits within the social security limits were subject to transfer and the banks were not required to provide any excess social rights and payments. On 22 March 2007, the Turkish Constitutional Court reached a verdict with regards to the suspension of the execution of the first paragraph of provisional article no.23 of the Turkish Banking Law, which requires the transfer of pension funds to SSF, until the decision regarding the cancellation thereof is published in the Official Gazette. The Constitutional Court stated in its reasoned ruling published in the Official Gazette numbered 26731, dated 15 December 2007 that the reason behind this cancellation was the possible loss of antecedent rights of the members of pension funds. Following the publication of the verdict, the Grand National Assembly of Republic of Turkey ( Turkish Parliament ) worked on the new legal arrangements by taking the cancellation reasoning into account. At 17 April 2008, the New Law has been accepted by the Turkish Parliament and the New Law has been enacted at 8 May 2008 following its publishing in the Official Gazette no Doğuş Group Annual Report 2012
272 Doğuş Group 34 Retirement benefit obligation (continued) Defined benefit plan (continued) (i) Pension and medical benefits transferable to SSF (continued) In accordance with the New Law, members of the funds established in accordance with the Social Security Law should be transferred to SSF within three years following its enactment date. The transfers are to take place within the three-year period starting from 1 January Subsequently, the transfer of the contributors and the persons receiving monthly or regular income and their right-holders from such funds established for employees of the banks, insurance and reinsurance companies, trade chambers, stock markets and unions that are part of these organisations subject to the provisional article 20 of the Social Security Law no.506 to the SSF, has been postponed for two years. The decision was made by the Council of Ministers on 14 March 2011 and published in the Official Gazette no dated 9 April 2011 as per the decision of the Council of Ministers, numbered 2011/1559, and as per the letter no. 150 of the Ministry of Labor and Social Security dated 24 February 2011 and according to the provisional article 20 of the Social Security and Public Health Insurance Law no On 19 June 2008, Cumhuriyet Halk Partisi had applied to the Constitutional Court for the cancellation of various articles of the Law including the first paragraph of the provisional Article 20. At the meeting of the Constitutional Court on 30 March 2011, it was decided that the article 73 and the first paragraph of the provisional Article 20 added to the law no are not contradictory to the Constitutional Law, and accordingly the dismissal of the cancellation request has been denied with the majority of votes. Garanti Bank obtained an actuarial report dated 27 December 2012 from an independent actuary reflecting the principles and procedures on determining the application of transfer transactions in accordance with the New Law. The actuarial statement of financial position of the Fund has been prepared using a discount rate of 9.80 percent and the CSO 1980 mortality table, and the assets of the plan exceed the amount that would be required to be paid to transfer the obligation at 31 December Garanti Bank s obligation in respect of the pension and medical benefits transferable to SSF has been determined as the value of the payment that would need to be made to SSF to settle the obligation at the reporting date in accordance with the related article of the New Law. The pension disclosures set out below therefore reflect the methodology and actuarial assumptions specified in the New Law. This calculation measures the benefit obligation at the expected transfer amount i.e., the estimated amount Garanti Bank will pay to SSF to assume this portion of the obligation. 270
273 Retirement benefit obligation (continued) Defined benefit plan (continued) (i) Pension and medical benefits transferable to SSF (continued) The pension benefits are calculated annually, as per the calculation as at 31 December 2012, the present value of funded obligations amount to TL 26,640 thousand (2011: TL 21,739 thousand) and the fair value of the planned assets amount to TL 354,246 thousand (2011: TL 295,505 thousand) Present value of funded obligations - Pension benefits transferable to SSF (obligation measured at the expected transfer amount) (109,705) (90,138) - Medical benefits transferable to SSF (obligation measured at the expected transfer amount) 88,549 73,198 - General administrative expenses (5,484) (4,799) (26,640) (21,739) Fair value of plan assets 354, ,505 Asset surplus in the plan (*) 327, ,766 (*) Asset surplus in this plan will be used as plan assets of the excess benefit plan. At 31 December, plan assets consist of the following: Securities 216, ,506 Cash and due from banks 113,882 8,374 Land and buildings 23,356 23,411 Other 96 2, , ,505 (ii) Excess benefits not transferable to SSF The other social rights and payments representing benefits in excess of social security limits are not subject to transfer to SSF. Therefore these excess benefits are accounted as an ongoing defined benefit plan. At 31 December, asset surplus on present value of defined benefit obligation is as follows: Present value of defined benefit obligation - Pension (102,090) (63,351) - Health (25,667) (33,017) Fair value of plan assets (*) 327, ,766 Asset surplus over present value of defined benefit obligation 199, ,398 (*) Plan assets are composed of asset surplus in the plan explained in section (i).

This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant. The analysis is performed on the same basis for Equity Profit or loss 31 December 2012 USD (1,910) (271,155) Euro (1,172) (120,051) Others (148) 16, December 2011 USD (169) (104,258) Euro (73) (87,988) Others (9) 14,906 A 10 percent of strengthening of TL against the above currencies at 31 December would have had the equal but opposite effect on the above currencies to the amounts shown above, on the basis that all other variables remain constant Fair value information Fair value is the amount at which a financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale of liquidation, and is best evidenced by a quoted market price. The estimated fair values of financial instruments have been determined using available market information by the Group, and where it exists, using appropriate valuation methodologies. However, judgment is necessarily required to interpret market data to determine the estimated fair value. Turkey has shown signs of an emerging market and has experienced a significant decline in the volume of activity in its financial market. While the management of the Group has used available market information in estimating the fair values of financial instruments, the market information may not be fully reflective of the value that could be realised in the current circumstances. Management has estimated that the fair values of certain financial assets and financial liabilities are not materially different than their recorded values except for loans and advances to customers and investment securities. These financial assets and financial liabilities include loans and advances to banks, obligations under repurchase agreements, loans and advances from banks, and other short-term assets and liabilities that are of a contractual nature. Management believes that the carrying amounts of these particular financial assets and liabilities approximate their fair values, partially due to the fact that it is a practice to renegotiate interest rates to reflect current market conditions. 294
297 Financial instruments (continued) 41.4 Fair value information (continued) As at 31 December 2012, the fair value of banking loans and advances to customers was TL 23,813,544 thousand (31 December 2011: TL 21,598,381 thousand), whereas the carrying amount was TL 23,964,214 thousand (31 December 2011: TL 21,766,559 thousand). As at 31 December 2012, the fair value of investment in debt securities was TL 9,628,368 thousand (31 December 2011: TL 8,666,628 thousand), whereas the carrying amount was TL 9,604,227 thousand (31 December 2011: TL 8,610,758 thousand). The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value as at 31 December, by valuation method: 2012 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 77,889 53,212 1, ,112 Derivative financial assets 1, , ,030 Debt and other instruments available-for-sale 8,726,197 3, ,934 9,267,719 Financial assets at fair value 8,805, , ,945 9,572,861 Derivative financial liabilities , ,230 Financial liabilities at fair value , , Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 91, , ,577 Derivative financial assets 1, , ,751 Debt and other instruments available-for-sale 6,071, ,392,859 7,464,384 Financial assets at fair value 6,164, ,612 1,401,882 7,817,712 Derivative financial liabilities , ,378 Financial liabilities at fair value , ,378 Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) 42 Use of estimates and judgments Management discussed with the Audit Committee the development, selection and disclosure of the Group s critical accounting policies and estimates, and the application of these policies and estimates. These disclosures supplement the commentary on basis of preparation (see note 2(d)). Key sources of estimation uncertainty Allowance for credit losses Assets accounted for at amortised cost are evaluated for impairment on a basis described in accounting policy note 3(m). Doğuş Group Annual Report 2012
298 Doğuş Group 42 Use of estimates and judgments (continued) Key sources of estimation uncertainty (continued) Allowance for credit losses (continued) The specific counterparty component of the total allowances for impairment applies to claims evaluated individually for impairment and is based upon management s best estimate of the present value of the cash flows that are expected to be received. In estimating these cash flows, management makes judgment about counterparty s financial situation and the net realisable value of any underlying collateral. Each impaired asset is assessed on its merits, and the workout strategy and estimate of cash flows considered recoverable are independently approved by the credit risk function. Portfolio-basis assessed impairment allowances cover credit losses inherent in portfolios of claims with similar economic characteristics when there is objective evidence to suggest that they contain impaired claims, but the individual impaired items cannot yet be identified. A component of portfolio-basis assessed allowances is for country risks. In assessing the need for collective loan loss allowances, management considers factors such as credit quality, portfolio size, concentrations, and economic factors. In order to estimate the required allowance, assumptions are made to define the way inherent losses are modelled and to determine the required input parameters, based on historical experience and current economic conditions. The accuracy of the allowances depends on how well these estimate future cash flows for specific counterparty allowances and the model assumptions and parameters used in determining collective allowances. Determining fair values The determination of fair value for financial assets and liabilities for which there is no observable market price requires the use of valuation techniques as described in significant accounting policies and Note 4. For financial instruments that trade infrequently and have little price transparency, fair value is less objective, and requires varying degrees of judgment depending on liquidity, concentration, uncertainty of market factors, pricing assumptions and other risks affecting the specific instrument. Critical accounting judgments in applying the Group s accounting policies Critical accounting judgments made in applying the Group s accounting policies include: Financial asset and liability classification The Group s accounting policies provide scope for assets and liabilities to be designated on inception into different accounting categories in certain circumstances: In classifying financial assets or liabilities as trading, the Group has determined that it meets the description of trading assets and liabilities set out in accounting policy 3(d) financial instruments. In designating financial assets or liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, the Group has determined that it has met one of the criteria for this designation set out in accounting policy 3(d) financial instruments. In classifying financial assets as held-to-maturity, the Group has determined that it has both the positive intention and ability to hold the assets until their maturity date as required by accounting policy 3(d) financial instruments. 296
299 Use of estimates and judgments (continued) Critical accounting judgments in applying the Group s accounting policies (continued) Securitisations In applying its policies on securitised financial assets, the Group has considered both the degree of transfer of risks and rewards on assets transferred to another entity and the degree of control exercised by the Group over the other entity: When the Group, in substance, controls the entity to which financial assets have been transferred, the entity is included in these consolidated financial statements and the transferred assets are recognised in the Group s consolidated statement of financial position. When the Group has transferred financial assets to another entity, but has not transferred substantially all of the risks and rewards relating to the transferred assets, the assets are recognised in the Group s consolidated statement of financial position. When the Group transfers substantially all the risks and rewards relating to the transferred assets to an entity that it does not control, the assets have been derecognised from the Group s consolidated statement of financial position. Details of the Group s securitisation activities are given in Note 30. Doğuş Group Annual Report 2012
