11 3 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The principal accounting policies followed in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements are set forth below: Related parties For the purpose of the accompanying financial statements, partners, key personnel in management, board of directors, dependent companies, participations and subsidiaries of the Company are referred to as related organizations. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of, investments that are short-term, highly liquid, easily turn into cash and will not be affected interest rate fluctuations. Trade receivables and provision for doubtful receivables Trade receivables are recognized at original invoice amount and carried at discounted cost less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful debts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off when identified. In case the provision decreases as a result of an event that occurs after write off, the amount is reflected on the income statement in the current period. Based on an evaluation of its trade portfolio such as volume, character of outstanding loans, past loan experience and general economic conditions management provides a general reserve that it believes is adequate to cover possible losses and uncollectible amounts in the Company s receivables, in addition to specific reserves provided for receivables in legal follow-up. Trade payables Trade payables are stated at their nominal values, discounted as appropriate. Inventory Inventories are valued on the basis of the weighted average cost method by considering the cost or the net realizable value, whichever is the lowest. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the cost of completion and selling expenses. The cost of inventories cover all purchasing costs, conversion costs and other expenses made to bring the inventories into their current state and condition. Property, plant and equipment and related depreciation Property, plant and equipment (except land and buildings) are carried at acquisition cost, less any accumulated depreciation and any impairment loss. Land and buildings of the Company are stated at fair values which are based on expertise reports. Profit and loss arising out of the sale of property, plant and equipment are included in the other income and expense accounts. In cases when the carrying value of an asset is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, it is written down immediately to its recoverable amount. Repair and maintenance expenditure related to property, plant and equipment is expensed as incurred.

12 4 Depreciation rates are determined according to approximately useful lives of tangible fixed assets are as follows: Years Buildings 50 Machinery and equipment 10 Motor vehicles 20 Fixtures and office equipment 10 Rights 10 Leasehold improvements 10 Impairment of assets Assets that have indefinite useful lives, for example goodwill, are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset s fair value less costs to sell or value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date. Borrowing costs Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a considerable time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned by the temporary investment of the part of the borrowing not yet used is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. All other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. Taxation and deferred income taxes Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. Current tax : The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Deferred tax: Deferred tax is provided, using the liability method, on all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Employee benefits / Retirement pay provision Under the Turkish law and union agreements, severance payments are made to employees retiring or involuntarily leaving the Company. Such payments are considered as being part of defined retirement benefit plan as per International Accounting Standard No: 19 (revised) Employee Benefits ( IAS 19 ). The retirement benefit obligation recognized in the balance sheet represents the present value of the defined benefit obligation as adjusted for unrecognized actuarial gains and losses.

13 5 Revenue recognition Revenue involves the goods and service sales invoiced value. Revenues are recognized on an accrual basis at the time deliveries of goods and services or acceptances are made, the transfer of risks and benefits related to good are realized, the amount of revenue can be measured reliably and it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group, at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. The significant risks and benefits in sales are transferred when the goods are delivered or legal proprietorship is transferred to the customer. Interest income and expenses are recognized in the income statement on an accrual basis. Net sales represent the invoiced value of goods shipped less sales returns and commission and excluding sales taxes. Operating expenses Operating expenses are recognized in profit or loss upon utilization of the service or at the date of their origin. Expenditure for warranties is recognized and charged against the associated provision when the related revenue is recognized. Offsetting Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Foreign Currency Transactions and Foreign Currency Translation The transactions in foreign currencies during the period have been translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. The foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in the income statement. The USD and EURO exchange rates used are as follows: USD EURO Provisions Provisions are recognized when, and only when the Company has a present obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are recognized by the amortized amount as of balance sheet date in case that the monetary loss is material. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. Commitments and contingencies Transactions that may give rise to contingencies and commitments are those where the outcome and the performance of which will be ultimately confirmed only on the occurrence or non-occurrence of certain future events, unless the expected performance is remote. Accordingly, contingent losses are recognized in the financial statements if a reasonable estimate of the amount of the resulting loss can be made. Contingent gains are reflected only if it is probable that the gain will be realized.

14 6 Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. These estimates are reviewed periodically and, as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the periods in which they become known.. Cash flow statement In terms of cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and demand deposits. EBITDA EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization. This information should be read with the statements of cash flows contained in the accompanying financial statements 4.
