Corporate Risk Management and Internal Audit
Doğuş Group acts proactively in terms of risk management to ensure that its business operations in different regions are not negatively affected as a result of risks including currency, commodity, interest, counterparty. Risk Management and Internal Audit departments within each sector create awareness for different types of risks and ensure that appropriate control mechanisms are applied.
2011 was a tough year for world
economies and especially for EuroZone
countries. Debt crisis deepened the
doubts towards the future of the global
financial system. Tsunami disaster in
Japan and the consequent fire in the
Fukushima nuclear facility have been
jeopardy not only for the environment,
but also for the international business
world. Many countries revised their
approach towards new investments
on the grounds of environmental and
technological risks, thereafter. Turkey,
standing resistant against the fragile
financial conditions in Europe, was
shaked by Van earthquake and the
government officials decided to speed
up implementing urban transformation
plans.
There is no doubt that such occurances
-financial crisis, catastrophic events
or other losses that may affect both
tangible and intangible assets- create
their own business environment which
needs to be effectively controlled
with the guidance of different risk
management tools and practices.
Increasing regulations like the new
Commercial Code also make it
essential for companies to have a solid
risk management and control system to
ensure viability and sustainable growth.
Doğuş Group, with diverse business
operations in different regions and
countries, has already been cognizant
of the fact that it has to monitor
and make provisions for various
risks including interest, currency,
counterparty, commodity and new
investment risks, in light of recent
developments. That’s how Doğuş
Group could succesfully maintain its
operations and continue investments in
different areas.
Regarding Doğuş Group’s risk
management activities, 2011 was a
successful year and Risk Management
practices both in group and company
levels, improved collaborately,
increasing risk awareness and creating
a group-wide risk management culture.
These efforts also strengthened the
“Corporate Governance” vision of our
shareholders and top management.
The Doğuş Holding Risk Management
department established the Enterprise
Risk Management (ERM) system in
2006 in line with the aforementioned
approach. Risk Management
activities are conducted by a realistic
organizational structure and it is fully
supported with the commitment of
top level management, so that the
Group keeps holding its pioneer role in
risk management activities in Turkish
business environment.
In 2010, by the Risk Committee
decision, Group companies created
their own Risk Management
departments. Now, the Doğuş
Holding Risk Management works
even more closely with the Group
Risk Management departments to
establish a standardized ERM system
and obtain accurate information to
assess and evaluate the risk taking
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.
ERM is applied in all Group companies
so that all risk is managed effectively
within the Group in accordance with
the predetermined 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 customized

the Group’s businesses.

needed. Each sector has its own risk
committee.

department designed to add value and
improve Doğuş Group’s operations. It

(process) and IT audits at Doğuş
Group companies in accordance with

findings and coordinates follow-up

18 DOĞUŞ GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011
Dear Stakeholders,
We left behind a challenging year for
global economy. 2011 was a year
in which we witnessed continuous
turbulence in world markets mostly
stemming from the sovereign debt crisis
in the Eurozone. During this period of
increased risks for the world economy,
the Turkish economy backed by its
strong growth figures for the last two
years, has proven that it has come out
of the global crisis honourably thanks to
its successful fiscal performance.
While the European economy is
showing signs of recovery in a slow
pace, it will be inevitable for the
emerging economies to be negatively
affected, as well. But Turkey is a very
promising emerging market with its
significant growth potential and young
population, hence I strongly believe
that Turkey will remain as an attractive
growth centre for investors. Cautious
targets and prudent policies, along
with comprehensive, medium-term
and large-scale structural reforms have
formed the dynamics of the credible
long-term prospects for Turkey while
helping to maintain investor confidence
and assist in weathering possible
adverse global developments.
2011 was a year that Doğuş Group successfully maintained its operations and continued investments in various areas. As Doğuş Group, we have focused on efficiency and achieved successful results in all of our businesses while creating value for our shareholders.
Message from the Chairman
DOĞUŞ GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 19
Although the global economic
conditions and sectoral outlook were

debt crisis, 2011 was a year that Doğuş
Group successfully maintained its
operations and continued investments
in various areas. As Doğuş Group,
we have focused on efficiency and
achieved successful results in all of our
businesses while creating value for our
shareholders. I strongly believe that our
performance will be remarkable with
new investment opportunities going
forward as the markets normalize.
In line with changing global landscape,
we recently went through a change in
our partnership structure in the Garanti
Bank. In 2011, the process of selling
Garanti shares to BBVA was completed
successfully. This strategic partnership
between BBVA and Garanti Bank
has been a great step to reformulate
our business strategy. BBVA has a
significant presence in Latin America
and we create an inspiring synergy
through their extensive experience
with SMEs and our technology and
banking products. In the present
conjuncture, Garanti succeeded in
completing 2011 as the most profitable
bank within the sector, through the
right steps it has taken and thanks
to the forward-looking policies it has
pursued. Operating in every stage
of the automotive value chain and
representing leading global brands,
Doğuş Otomotiv left a successful
year behind in terms of number
of vehicle sales and profitability.
Doğuş Construction has been further
expanding and diversifying its portfolio
based on its notable national and
international experience in the sector
while seeking business opportunities
in potential markets as well. Doğuş
Media Group broadened its operations
in all means from TV to magazines,
radios, digital & print media and
expanded its portfolio with the addition
of new brands such as Star-Turkey’s
first privately-owned TV channel and
another magazine of the Condé Nast
Group, GQ Turkey. Doğuş Tourism
and Retail Group expanded its tourism
investments with the acquisition of
Swissôtel Göcek (renamed it D-Marin
Resort Göcek) and the renovation
of D-Hotel Maris. With the new
investments in marina business,
D-Marin Marinas Group’s vision is to
become a regional leader in the sector.
Following the opening of D-Gym in
2009, our new investment in the well-
being industry, D-Life, Healthy Living
and Detox Center, has brought a new
breath to the sector. Our companies in
the real estate sector, Doğuş REIT and
Doğuş Real Estate aims to increase the
value of their investment portfolios by
means of achieving a stable growth.
Doğuş Energy has been closely
monitoring privatization initiatives in
various regions of the country and
the renewable energy regulations and
expanding its presence in hydroelectric
energy production as a renewable and
clean energy source in line with its
environmentally friendly focus.
Doğuş Group is very well positioned
to sustain this momentum from 2011
and we will continue to improve our
services to the market, converged
products, team-work and strong brand
name. The year 2012 will of course
present new challenges, nevertheless I
am confident that as Doğuş Group, we
will continue to rise to these challenges
and deliver a performance that meets
the expectations of both our customers
and our shareholders.
I express my heartfelt thanks to our
valuable employees for their keen,
attentive and dedicated efforts and
contributions as well as to all our
customers, economic and social
stakeholders, and to our national and
global esteemed partners for their
support and confidence on our way to
success.

DOĞUŞ GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 23
Despite the ever-present risk of crisis, we have maintained uninterrupted growth and reached new milestones. Our excellent forecasting ability, robust stance, and future-oriented vision have allowed us to continue to invest successfully, totalling US$ 1,180 million in 2011.
Message from the CEO
Dear Stakeholders,
2011 has been a challenging year for
the global economy. With the onset of
the crises sweeping across Europe in
2011, it has become clear that finding
solutions to these problems cannot
be put off any longer. Despite this
pessimistic conjuncture, Turkey has
achieved one of the most successful
budgetary performances in recent years
by maintaining rigorous fiscal discipline.
At Doğuş Group, we also had a very
successful year in 2011. Despite the
ever-present risk of crisis, we have
maintained uninterrupted growth and
reached new milestones. Our Group
grew by 4% in total assets and 15% in
revenues. Our contribution to Turkey’s
total tax revenue realized as 2% and
we expect a similar trend in 2012.
Furthermore, parallel to last year, we
also plan to hire an additional 2,000
people, thus reaching an employee base
of around 32,000.
Our excellent forecasting ability, robust
stance, and future-oriented vision
have allowed us to continue to invest
successfully totalling US$ 1,180 million
in 2011. Our merger with BBVA, our
24 DOĞUŞ GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011
winning bid for the construction of the
Üsküdar-Ümraniye-Çekmeköy metro line
and our acquisition of Star are among
various initiatives we realized in 2011.
In 2011, we completed the process
which had begun in 2010 of selling
the Garanti shares to BBVA under the
principle of equal partnership upon
fulfilling all the regulatory requirements.
This allowed us to take a strategic step
forward towards becoming a regional
banking powerhouse. We have created
a synergistic structure combining BBVA’s
growth plans in the region with the vast
experience and know-how of Garanti
Bank. In 2012, we will continue to
pursue our strategic regional expansion
plans while maintaining our organic
growth strategy in the Turkish market.
In 2011, Turkey’s automotive industry
broke its all-time record by selling
864,000 vehicles. At Doğuş Otomotiv,
we increased our market share to 12.6
percent with a sales volume of 112,399
including the heavy commercial vehicles.
We managed to improve not only our
revenues, but also our profitability.
In construction, after submitting the
winning bid for the construction of the
Otogar-Bağcılar metro line, we once
again trounced the competition, gaining
sole rights for the construction of the
Üsküdar-Ümraniye-Çekmeköy metro line
after having outbid six rival consortia.
Among our other projects are the Sofia
Metro Extension project, which is still
in progress, and the Bucharest Metro
Line project, for which we became one
of the four companies who obtained
preliminary qualification. Last but not
the least, in Ukraine, the Kiev Boryspil
State International Airport which is
undertaken by a joint venture led by
Doğuş Construction is about to be
completed. Concerning the international
projects, we are closely following
the current situation and prospective
projects in the Middle East. Meanwhile,
we are also interested in highway
privatization in Turkey and are thus
following developments very closely.
2011 has been a year of high activity
for Doğuş Media Group due to the
restructuring efforts in this sector. We
have cleared the way for a generation
of broader synergies in our Group by
relocating all our media operations
to Doğuş Center, Maslak located in
İstanbul. With the addition of Star
-Turkey’s first privately-owned TV
channel- to our thematic TV channel
portfolio as a nationwide entertainment/
soap opera channel, the value chain in
our media sector has been completed.
We expect Doğuş Media Group’s share
in the advertising market to double
for the next three years due to the
acquisition of Star. In addition, our
business partnership with the Turkish
branch of the Condé Nast Group, which
started with the initiation of Turkish
Vogue, will continue with the launch
of another magazine of the Group, GQ
Turkey, in March 2012.
As changes in tourism and services
industry bring new opportunities
with them, we are expanding our
investments in this sector. The
acquisition of Swissotel Göcek was
the most recent investment we made
in the tourism industry in 2011. We
have renamed the hotel D-Marin Resort
Göcek and we will open it to the public
without making any changes to its
capacity until 2013. In 2011, we also
completed the renovation of the D-Hotel
Maris, which occupies a magnificent
spot on the Hisarönü Bay. The hotel will
open its doors to guests in 2012 with
a fresh concept, 200 guest rooms, and
a villa. Furthermore, in 2012, we will
expand the number of guest rooms
available at our Hotel Grand Azur in
Marmaris, to 320, and we also plan
some renovation works at the hotel.
One of the industries on the rise is the
marina business. Under the D-Marin
Marinas Group, we are currently
operating with four marinas; D-Marin
Turgutreis, D-Marin Didim, D-Marin
Göcek in Turkey and D-Marin Mandalina
in Sibenik, Croatia. D-Marin Mandalina
will soon be ready to accept 80 mega
yachts over 30 meters up to 100
meters in its new extension dedicated
The communities where we do business are one of the most important stakeholders for Doğuş Group. We promise to make the community a better place, and we hold on to that promise through our responsible investments and community engagement practices.
DOĞUŞ GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 25
only to super yachts with all necessary
infrastructure. We plan to complete
this extension in the first quarter of
2012 and it will be the only mooring
facility reserved for mega yachts in the
region supported with all high level
infrastructure. In addition, we will add
new marinas to our portfolio in Croatia
and also in Greece in 2012. We also
plan to begin the construction of the
Dalaman Marina in 2012. As a final
point, D-Marin Marina Management
Company, established by our Group in
2012, will utilise the knowledge and
expertise coming from its experience
in the marina sector to provide
management and consultancy services
to marinas under the Doğuş Group
umbrella, as well as marinas across
the world. With new investments
and initiatives in this arena, we aim to
become a stronger player in the marina
industry across the Mediterranean.
One of the areas towards which we
have recently directed our attention
is the well-being industry, since
service expectations of the new
breed of consumers are increasing as
they become more conscious of the
importance of healthy living. Following
D-Gym, our first investment in this
industry, we created a new and different
concept with D-Life Healthy Living and
Detox Center. Before long, we began
to have difficulty meeting the rising
demand at our present locations. In
2012, we are planning to launch a new
concept whereby we will combine
D-Life and D-Gym under the same roof.
In the next two years, we will develop
our value chain by opening two new
detox and spa centers, where our
guests will be able to stay overnight, in
İstanbul and Bodrum.
Regarding the real estate sector, we
made a big splash with the İstinyePark
and Gebze Center shopping malls,
where we created a concept that
appeals not only to local shopping
enthusiasts, but also to those who
come from abroad. We are considering
similar shopping mall projects in
other locations. We also started the
renovation of an existing office building
in Ayazağa where we will soon be
relocating our head office. Construction
of a new commercial office building in
Maslak is also on our agenda in 2012.
In energy, in a relatively short period
of time, we have created a portfolio
with an energy-generating capacity of
1 GW. Within our current portfolio, we
have Artvin Hydroelectric Power Plant
(332 MW), in which D Energy holds
100% share, Boyabat Hydroelectric
Power Plant (513 MW) and the Aslancık
Hydroelectric Power Plant (120 MW), in
which we hold a 34% and 33% shares
respectively. The construction phase of
the Boyabat HEPP will be completed in
late 2012. In line with our organic growth
strategy, our main goal is to maintain our
position as one of the top three players
in the Turkish energy industry. We
are also following privatizations in the
energy industry very closely.
Our Group will also begin to operate in
two new industries in 2012. The first
of these two is the food and beverage
industry. We are getting ready to enter
the industry by combining different
concepts. We aim to raise the bar
by creating a portfolio of restaurants
that appeals to a variety of different
income segments and audiences and
also by contributing to the very much
needed reform in the food and beverage
industry through reorganization of the
sector standards.
For the second new industry, we signed
a cooperation agreement with South
Korea’s SK Group concerning some
Internet-based applications. We expect
this cooperation, which began in the
field of e-commerce, to spill over into
other technology-oriented areas, thus
expanding its scope. In addition, keen
on entering the information technologies
and e-marketing sector, Doğuş Group
will continue its investments in this field
with new companies and partnerships.
At Doğuş Group, we produce for, and
share with the society. We promise to
make the world a better place, and we
hold on to that promise through our
responsible investments and community
engagement practices that comprises
of a combination of CSR projects,
philanthropy, and sponsorships. We
will maintain our firm commitment to
sustainability and social awareness in all
our operations in 2012.
On behalf of Doğuş Group, I would like
to thank all our valuable employees,
our qualified business partners and
our cherished shareholders, for their
keen and dedicated efforts, persistent
support and trust which have rendered
our Group’s success. I would also like
to take this opportunity to thank our
esteemed customers to whom we are
glad to serve in the best possible way.

Within this context, Garanti’s long-
term support in the areas of culture,
arts, environment, education, and
sports reflects its commitment as well
as its keen sensitivity to sustainability.
Activities in 2011
Garanti’s consolidated net income
reached TL 3 billion 397 million
926 thousand in 2011. The Bank’s

purpose lending expanded by 44%
in 2011 resulting in increased market
share of 40 basis points year on year,
which in turn, further reinforced the
Bank’s market position.
Garanti sustained its sound asset
quality in 2011. Collections normalized
but remained still strong and the
nominal non-performing loan (NPL)
stock declined by 9% versus sector’s
3% increase, which is a clear evidence
of the Bank’s success in collections
since 2008. Garanti’s NPL ratio
decreased from 3.5% in 2010 to 2.3%
in 2011.
Garanti stands out with its well-
diversified and solid funding structure.
In 2011, customer deposits increased
by 18% as compared to 2010 and
rapid expansion of the customer base
continued. As a natural consequence
of Garanti’s successful business
model, which has been solidified
through the Bank’s effective strategy
to capture wider customer base,
high demand deposit levels were
maintained. As of the end of 2011,
the share of demand deposits in total
deposits increased to 22%.
In 2011, Garanti sustained its strong
capitalization ratios due to high
internal capital generation capability.
As of year-end 2011, the Bank’s
consolidated capital adequacy ratio
stood at 15.8%. Free funds grew by
more than 20% on an annual basis,
and the Bank funded around 1/5 of its
assets through free funds.
Despite global uncertainties,
regulatory pressures and lower
interest rates, Garanti with its dynamic
balance sheet management, had
another successful year in 2011. The
Bank, prioritizing its customer-oriented
banking strategy, managed to grow
refraining from irrational competition.
Even though Garanti gained market
share in many areas in 2011, the Bank
displayed a distinguished pricing policy
both on loan and deposit products
and recorded the lowest contraction
in loan deposit spread among peers.
With its continuous improvement
culture and its visionary moves that
lead the sector, the Bank contained
its OPEX growth below inflation
while expanding its branch network,
and despite the challenges in 2011,
Garanti recorded the highest net
income among Turkish banks.
Garanti continued its corporate social
responsibility projects in 2011 as
well. At the core of its activities,
there has been its investments in
culture&arts and its activities related
to sustainability. Garanti’s long-lasting
support to culture and arts entered a
new phase with the opening of SALT
Beyoğlu and SALT Galata. Aiming to
create an institution that will serve
Turkey’s cultural and intellectual life
for many years to come, three cultural
institutions were merged under a
single roof, SALT. Recognizing that
investing in sustainability is one of its
key responsibilities for a more livable
world that will be able to cater to the
needs of future generations, Garanti
disclosed its carbon footprint in 2011,
as it has done for the last 2 years, and
qualified to be in the global reporting
system of the Carbon Disclosure
Project, CDP 2011 Global 500 Report.
Garanti was honored with numerous
national and international awards
also in 2011 with its competent
human resources capable of making
a difference, its state-of-the-art
technological infrastructure, its
customer centric products and
32 DOĞUŞ GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011
services and its applications created
with the synergy driven by its superior
customer relationship management
solutions.
Future Plans
Positive economic data from the US
and the radical steps taken by EU
toward the resolution of the debt
crisis alleviate the worries about the
global economy. However, the risks
are yet to be eliminated. Possibility
of global stagnation is a risk that
cannot be ignored. Most certainly, the
developments in the world will affect
Turkish economy and the banking
sector alike.
The ongoing high growth of the
Turkish economy for the past two
years is expected to decelerate
in 2012. Together with the macro
prudential measures taken by the
CBRT and the BRSA, we expect
moderate growth in the banking
sector as well in the year ahead.
Garanti will continue its successful
margin management, prudent risk
management and commitment to
efficiency during 2012, and the aim to
grow in a sustainable and profitable
manner.
As always, Garanti’s target is the
same: To earn the appreciation
of all its stakeholders through its
financial performance and corporate
governance endeavors.

Successfully integrating Garanti Bank’s customer-oriented,
innovative and high quality service approach into its activities as
a “global boutique bank,” GBI remains as the trusted bank of its
customers while adding value to international trade.
Established in 1990 in Amsterdam,
GarantiBank International N.V. (GBI)
operates in the Netherlands, as well
as in Germany, Turkey, Switzerland
and Ukraine via its branches and
representative offices. GBI, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Garanti
Bank, furnishes innovative, sector and
country-specific financial solutions to
its customers worldwide in the areas
of trade finance, private banking,
structured finance, corporate and
commercial banking.
2011 Activities
Having distinguished itself from the
banks with broad networks in the
countries it operates by fast and
reliable services, GBI continued to
strengthen its capital structure in
2011. Despite the impacts of the
global financial crisis that subsequently
struck Europe, the Bank maintained
its competitive position through a
customer-oriented approach and its
strategy of dynamic balance sheet
management.
GBI’s year-end Capital Adequacy Ratio
increased to 19.1%, 17.4% of which
consists of share capital. Maintaining
its high asset quality amid the debt
crisis conditions in Europe, GBI’s NPL
ratio again remained below 2% at
the end of 2011. Posting a net profit
of EUR 53.6 million* in 2011 with
a year-over-year increase of 14%,
GBI completed another successful
profitable year.
In 2011, GBI secured a one-year
syndicated loan of EUR 200 million
with the participation of 18 banks from
8 countries, exceeding the targeted
amount of EUR 150 million with the
demand from the banks. The loan
agreement was signed in Amsterdam
on July 5.
In August 2011, Moody’s reconfirmed
GBI’s long-term deposits rating of
Baa1. The rating, which reflects the
Bank’s strong financial standing,
sustainable profitability, successful
position in international trade and
commodity finance, high asset quality,
and solid funding profile, is four
notches higher than Turkey’s sovereign
rating.
Projections for 2012
In 2012, GBI will focus on its
inherently low-risk main activities of
Trade Finance, Private Banking and
Structured Finance, sustaining its
prudent strategy. While commission
income is expected to remain strong
owing to increasing contribution of
Private Banking, Structured Finance
and Cash Management operations,
the Bank aims to further diversify its
areas of activity. Having set a target
cost-income ratio of 37% for 2012, GBI
is planning a balance sheet growth of
10% by sustaining the profitability of
its core activities.
Dividend retention policy will continue
in the coming years based on the
estimation that Dutch Central Bank
(DNB) will exert increased pressure on
capital adequacy depending on the risk
exposures in the emerging markets
including Turkey.
Offering the best tailor-made solutions
to its customers in a prompt manner
will remain GBI’s main objective in
2012.

GarantiBank Moscow
With its ability to adapt to challenging market conditions and
strict adherence to service quality, GarantiBank Moscow, aims to
realize its growth plans and maintain high customer satisfaction
by capitalizing on opportunities and building new relationships.
GarantiBank Moscow (GBM) holds
full-scale banking license. Some facts
about GBM are given below:
• Operations started in Russia in 1996,
• One of the 78 foreign banks
operating in the country,
• Active in the core businesses of
corporate and commercial banking,
• Serves Russian firms from various
sectors, major Turkish companies
active in the Russian market, and large-
scale Turkish tourism establishments in
Russia,
• Among ~500 commercial customers
in its portfolio, 83% is constituted by
resident companies and 17% by non-
residents,
• Pursues activities with one branch
and 81 employees.
Economic Developments
The Russian economy is estimated
to have grown 4.3% and registered
the lowest inflation rate of its history
at 6.1% in 2011. The Russian Central
Bank recently narrowed the interest
rate corridor, reducing the differential
to 1.5% between the overnight deposit
rate, i.e. the basic interest rate in the
market, and the repurchasing rate that
funds the market. The Central Bank
intends to switch to inflation targeting
regime as of 2012; as a result, the
country’s currency ruble is expected to
fully free-float.
After having gained value on the basis
of the euro/dollar basket until August,
ruble started depreciating thereafter
with the accelerated European debt
crisis and the increased risks of global
recession. While the capital outflow
amounted to US$ 38 billion in 2010, the
figure more than doubled and reached
US$ 84 billion in 2011. Nevertheless,
foreign currency reserves that stood in
the region of US$ 479 billion at year-
end 2010 rose to US$ 499 billion at
year-end 2011, driven by the relatively
higher oil and other raw material prices.
The Central Bank stated that the
liquidity required by the market will be
mainly supplied through repurchase
transactions, and declared they see
no need to re-introduce the non-
collateralized loans utilized during the
financial crisis of 2008-2009.
While the Russian economy still
projects a growth rate of 3.5 to 4%
in 2012 after attaining around 4%
expansion in 2010 and 2011, the
growth rate will likely to be shaped by
the global economic developments
owing to the Russian economy’s
dependence particularly on raw
material prices and integration with the
worldwide financial system.
2011 Activities
Scene to an over-competitive
environment resulting from the
intensive activities of leading public
banks to increase their shares in the
market, 2011 bore a negative impact on
the margins and prospects of Russian
private-sector banks and banks backed
by foreign capital.
GarantiBank Moscow was affected
by these conditions at the minimum
extent owing to its ability to adapt to
changing conditions, and pursued its
operations with a cautious approach
and a balance sheet with high asset
quality, in line with its sustainable
profitability target.
In keeping with the lending policy
adopted, GBM kept concentrating on
real sector companies that have strong
shareholding structures, relatively
low leverage, strong cash generation
capability, strict financial discipline and
a sound management in 2011.
36 DOĞUŞ GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011
In line with the target of recapturing
the pre-crisis levels in the lending
portfolio, which had been intentionally
narrowed down during the crisis
period, new customer relationships
were established with large-scale
companies enjoying high credibility. In
2011, the Bank continued to witness
the positive impact of these new
relationships on volumes that had been
revived from the last quarter of 2010.
Having downsized its assets by 60%
and cash lending portfolio by 78%
during the crisis, GBM finished 2011
with an asset size of US$ 389 million.
With the support of relationships with
existing and potential customers, GBM
targets to achieve US$ 500 million in
asset size at year-end 2012.
During 2011, the Bank kept ruble
and US$ denominated private sector
bonds issued by companies with
high credibility in its balance sheet.
A great majority of these bonds that
make up the portfolio are accepted
by the Russian Central Bank for repo
operations. Investments were made
in 2011 in the ruble-denominated
Russian Sovereign bonds owing to
their attractive returns, which had lost
the investors due to their low returns
in the pre-crisis period. Capitalizing
on the advantage resulting from
price movements, GBM disposed of
some of the securities in its portfolio
and invested in other new securities
presenting attractive returns.
With the impact of further increased
competition and contracted margins in
the sector particularly in 2011, GBM’s
pre-tax profit for the reporting period
stood in the region of US$ 9.5 million.
Projections for 2012
Anticipating tough market conditions
to persist through 2012, GBM aims to
sustain and even further upgrade its
current performance via its analysis
skill and capability to easily adjust to
changing market conditions.

2011 Activities
After registering the all-time high
business volume in 2007, the Turkish
leasing sector has started shrinking
since 2008 owing to the impact of the
global crisis. For Garanti Leasing, 2011
marked the second highest business
volume attained by the Company after
the sector’s and Garanti Leasing’s
record business volumes of 2007.
Leaving behind a successful year,
Garanti Leasing continued to make
a difference in the sector with its
competent employees, robust technical
infrastructure, customer diversity, and
customer risk distribution in its balance
sheet structure. Garanti Leasing’s
ability to successfully cater to its
customer’s diverse needs is warranted
by its flexibility and agility under
changing market conditions.
Standing as the sector’s unbeatable
leader in the number of contracts for
ten years, Garanti Leasing consolidated
its leadership in 2011 with 2,916
leasing contracts and 20% market
share in the number of contracts. While
the overall sector’s y-o-y growth in the

Leasing achieved 46% growth. The
Company posted US$ 860.6 million in
business volume with a y-o-y growth of

Doğuş Otomotiv
Doğuş Otomotiv in 2011
A total of 864,439 passenger and light
commercial vehicles were sold in
Turkey in 2011, a successful year for the
automotive sector with an increase of
13.61% in total sales on previous year.
Turkey’s high growth rate, economic
stability and suitable credit conditions
have been the fueling factors for this
growth in the sector. The growth in the
automobile and light commercial vehicle
market has been especially high during
the first two quarters, but dropped in
accordance with expectations with
the third quarter. Increase in foreign
currency prices and additional taxes
imposed on vehicles over 1600 cc led to
a slower market realization especially in
the fourth quarter.

Despite these negative developments
a historical record was broken in
2011, and Doğuş Otomotiv reached
its highest sales performance since
its establishment, succeeding to go
beyond the 100,000 units level. The
company reached its turnover and
sales targets, growing above the

valuable brand portfolios in the world

combined the resultant competitive
advantage with its vision of “creative
service beyond expectations” and
its “customer satisfaction”oriented
operational goal, thereby consolidating
its market position in 2011 and

Sales success
Almost all the brands distributed by
Doğuş Otomotiv surpassed their
sales targets in 2011, increasing their
volume/turnover and consolidating
its market position. Volkswagen
Passenger Car, the driver of the Group,
has increased its own sales by 40%
in a passenger car market that grew
by 16.4% on previous year, thus
exhibiting a performance well above
the market. Volkswagen thus became
the 4th most selling automobile brand
in Turkey; similarly, Audi reached
its highest sales figure in 2011 with
12,064 units, another important
success. Porsche increased its sales
points in Turkey to six with the new
showroom in Bursa added to the ones
in İstanbul, Ankara, Antalya, and İzmir;
it broke a new record in 2011 with 442
units sold. With an increase in sales
by 19% and 20% respectively, SEAT
and Skoda also grew above the market
average.
There were important increases in
light and heavy commercial vehicles as
well in 2011. With an increase of 9.8%
in sales, Volkswagen Commercial
Vehicles increased its share in the
light commercial vehicle market to
9.7% and in the imported commercial
vehicle market to 23.5%. Scania
sold 2929 units of heavy commercial
vehicles weighing 16 tonnes and
above, growing 17% on previous year
and breaking a new historical record.
Besides passenger and commercial
vehicles, there have been important
sales and turnover successes in 2011
in businesses such as trailer, damper,
cooling system, and industrial and
marine engines, which Doğuş Otomotiv
offers the market through import and
manufacturing.
New launches
Besides sales figures, 2011 was a lively
year with respect to new models and
engine choices as well. Continuously
renewing itself and its technology
with its vision of “the world’s most
innovative automotive brand,”
Volkswagen Passenger Car launched
its New Jetta model with the slogan
“Prestige Has Changed Shape” and its
New Tiguan model, introduced during
Fashion’s Night Out.
Audi has considerably expanded its
product range during the last three
years, and with the Audi Q3, it has
offered a unique choice to customers in
search of a model that looked like an off-
road vehicle but was suitable for driving
in the city. As for Porsche, it made a
big leap in 2011 by introducing its New
Panamera Diesel, Panamera Hybrid, and
Cayman R models. 2011 was a year of
exciting innovations for Lamborghini and
Bentley as well. Bentley Continental GT
and Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4
were launched this year and attracted
a lot of interest among high luxury
segment automobiles.
56 DOĞUŞ GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011
Skoda presented its sporty Fabia RS
model in March 2011 to the Turkish

featuring innovative technology, high
safety standards and fuel efficiency

20.1% market share, an excellent
performance. Crafter, Volkswagen
Commercial Vehicle’s representative in
the big class light commercial vehicle
segment, was totally streamlined in

“Excellent” service
Throughout 2011, Doğuş Otomotiv
continued its efforts to maintain the
continuity of customer satisfaction and
to improve its After Sales Services,
which it sees as one of the most
important tools in pursuing that goal.
The company has been presented a
number of international awards and its
success was recognized as a result of
these efforts.
At the Service Quality Award
competition, the fourth of which was
organized this year by Volkswagen AG,
two Volkswagen Authorized Services
from Turkey were placed among the
top 100 authorized services throughout
Europe. Similarly, Doğuş Otomotiv-Audi
repeated its success of the recent years
at the Twin Cup and came in first for
service and technical areas throughout
the world, bringing the Audi Twin Cup to
Turkey once again.
In the 2011 IACS survey conducted
by SEAT S.A. to measure after sales
customer satisfaction, Doğuş Otomotiv-
SEAT was one of the three brands in
Turkey to have increased its customer
satisfaction in the Turkish market. In
2011, the champion of the “Top Service
People” awards, which determine the
most successful employees among all
the Authorized Services in the world,
was the Service Manager of AVEK
Automotive, one of Doğuş Otomotiv

2011: Delivering the quality and expanding the core competenciesIn 2011, the whole industry recovered
after the liquidity crises sparked by
mortgage foreclosures and constraints
in the loan market. However, the
industry has been hugely affected
in a negative way from Arab spring,
specifically from the developments in
Libya. All the projects in Libya have
been temporarily suspended and
companies operating in Libya were
forced to look for alternative markets
and sectors to operate their businesses.
In this respect, Doğuş Construction
focuses more on certain countries in the
Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC).

D-Marin Marinas Group
The marinas under the sector leading D-Marin Marinas Group
continue to be popular destinations for existing yachters as well
as being the new routes of newcomer sailors.
Maritime tourism has made a major
stride in the second half of the
twentieth century in developed
coastal states and the Mediterranean
in particular. All countries expecting
revenue from yacht tourism have
initially made investments in marinas.
The human and yacht traffic that was
generated led to the development of a
society geared towards tourism.
Doğuş Group believes that marina
operations have a very high growth
potential in Turkey and in the region.
While the economic and social
developments in our age have enabled
increasing numbers of people to
travel; a shortening of the working
week, extension of holidays as well
as an increase in welfare and a rising
interest in yachting have led Doğuş
Group to develop marinas that would
cater not only to yachts but to establish
integrated tourism facilities catering to
yachters and their associates.
D-Marin Marinas Group started its
operations in 2003 with its first marina,
D-Marin Turgutreis. In 2009, D-Marin

concerning the Port Göcek Marina was
signed and it joined to the D-Marin
Marinas Group as D-Marin Göcek
Marina. The start of construction of
the fourth marina in Dalaman-Turkey
is among the plans for 2012. Last but
not the least, D-Marin Marinas Group
began co-operating with NCP Group for
the operation of Marina Mandalina in
Sibenik-Croatia in 2009.
D-Marin Marinas Group is holding
16% of the marina berthing capacity
among the certified marinas in Turkey.
As of 2011 year end, D-Marin Marinas
Group’s total berthing capacity in Turkey
and Croatia totalled 2,806 with 1,856 in
water slips and 950 dry dock berths. In
April 2012, Marina Dalmacija, which is
the largest marina in Croatia, and Marina
Borik joined D-Marin Marinas Group. As
of March 2012, 80 additional berthing
places exclusively for mega yachts
entered service. With the addition of
Marina Dalmacija and Marina Borik, and
Marina Mandalina Mega Yacht Marina,
D-Marin Marinas Group’s total berthing
capacity increased to 4,836.
With the aim of leading the market
and playing an important role in the
improvement of the marina sector,
D-Marin Marinas Group is set to utilize
every investment opportunity in the
sector both in Turkey and abroad.
D-Marin Marina Management
Company, established in 2012, will
utilise the knowledge and expertise
coming from its experience in the
marina sector to provide management
and consultancy services to marinas
under the Doğuş Group umbrella, as
well as marinas across the world.

capital of TL 5 trillion and a paid-in
capital of TL 250,000 and was listed on
the ISE 100 index.
At the end of 2001, as a result of
the merger between Osmanlı Bank
and Garanti Bank - both belonging to
Doğuş Group, 51% of the Company’s
shares were transferred to Garanti
Bank, making it a financial subsidiary of
the Bank; its name was changed into
Garanti REIT. By the end of 2005, the
Company’s registered capital and paid-
in capital reached TL 500 million and TL
93.78 million, respectively.
As of December 1, 2006, the
shareholder structure of Doğuş-GE
REIT changed when Garanti Bank
sold 50% of its shares to GE Capital
Corporation and 50% to Doğuş Holding
A.Ş. Doğuş Holding A.Ş. and GE Capital

Supported with the new partnership
structure, Doğuş REIT aims to be one
of the leader investing and developing
companies in Turkey; together with the
global experience and wealth funds of
Doğuş Group, which shelters finance,
construction and real estate specialties.
Mission
Doğuş REIT’s mission is to increase
the value of its investment portfolio
through stable growth, thus maximizing
shareholder value by offering higher
dividends and market capitalization
and concurrently providing the highest
customer satisfaction in the projects
developed.
Highlights from Properties Portfolio
Doğuş REIT portfolio includes Doğuş
Center, Maslak located in İstanbul and
the 2000 Plaza located in Antalya.
Doğuş Center, Maslak
Doğuş Center, Maslak broke new
ground in Turkey by exclusively hosting
large stores and offering a unique store
mix. This mix includes car showrooms
and service areas, a supermarket, a
fitness center and food court. Located
in İstanbul’s main business center,
Maslak and exclusively featuring big
stores known as “big boxes,” Doğuş
Center, Maslak offers a high-quality
of interior design and equipment
unlike its foreign counterparts. The
main reason behind this choice is that
Maslak-Levent area is Turkey’s banking
and finance center where educated
white-collar personnel are working.
The center is also easily accessible: it
is quite close to the coast road, TEM
and E5 highways, the junctions of both
bridges that cross the Bosphorus, and
the new underground station (Metro
Station).
Doğuş Center, Maslak also offers
significant benefits to the brands
included in its store mix. Such brands
are usually unable to find adequately
large and cost-effective spaces in
downtown malls and forced to move
to outskirts of the city, which results
in an inability to attract their target
audience. Doğuş Center, Maslak
DOĞUŞ GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 99
offers such stores the opportunity
to occupy large spaces in Maslak in
the heart of the city. Total space of
the center is 63,202 m2, with stores
occupying 47,508 m2. Closed parking
space has a capacity of 788 vehicles
and there is also an open parking area.
Construction of Doğuş Center, Maslak
Project was completed in November
2006.

building was included in the company’s
portfolio in 2000.

The construction of Gebze Center
Shopping Mall, all investment of which

a great deal of increase in the number
of its visitors and its endorsement
performance. In one year, the number
of visitors turned out to be more than
expected and reached 9 million and the
endorsement growth rate increased by
41%. In this success, the main factors
were that the mall is the only shopping
mall project in the region that was
planned at the right time and the right
place, it has a strong combination of
diversified shops, and a zone reserved
for recreation activities.
Gebze Center is almost 100% full. 120

2011 that was awarded as “Marketing
Campaign of the Year” by AMPD, the

revenue-oriented fairs too; conceptual
fairs such as the furniture festival
and the school equipment festival.
Each week, with the campaign called
“Opportunity of the Week,” certain
shops were promoted.
Along with these projects, many civil
initiative projects were carried out
such as the organizations designed
for disabled citizens and information
campaigns on raising awareness about
the environment.

The Energy Sector
The electricity sector in Turkey is
characterized by strong growth,
low usage per capita and on-going
liberalization in the market. To maintain
the continuity of the economic,
sociological, technological progress and
expansion of Turkey, the energy sector
must adapt and keep up with the latest
developments in this industry.
The installed capacity reached 53
GW at the end of 2011. According to
the TEIAS projections, it is estimated
that the sector needs an increase
of approximately 100% of installed
capacity in order to meet an estimated
increase of 6.5-7.5% CAGR in demand
for the next decade, which is expected
to be undertaken by the private sector.
From this perspective, the share of
private sector in Turkey’s installed
capacity is expected to increase every
year.
The demographics of Turkey and
its strong economic growth dictate
that the energy sector will require an
investment of US$ 130 billion by 2020,
mainly by utilities.
D Energy
D Energy develops and grows through
strategic and profitable enterprises
to maintain optimal generation
portfolio and its infrastructure with
clean energy sources. It consistently
acts in accordance with current
social, economic and geographical
developments and maintains its
environmentally friendly focus.
The Energy Business Line was founded
within Doğuş Holding in 2005 to
monitor all developments concerning
and pertaining to the energy sector,
both within Turkey and throughout the
region. It is responsible for formulating
and generating strategies for all
energy and infrastructure investments
within Doğuş Group. Taking necessary
measures and creating profitable
business enterprises are ultimate goals
of this organization.
In terms of generation sector which is
based on renewable energy sources, D
Energy is one of the leading companies
in the private sector with its 1 GW
installed capacity.
D Energy has designated new
investment projects and privatizations
for the generation of electricity as well
D Energy
D Energy aims to generate electricity from clean, renewable and domestic energy sources which will meet the increasing energy demand in the best way possible. The Company grows through its strategic and profitable ongoing investments.
DOĞUŞ GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 107
as the operation of these assets and
energy trading as its core areas of
business.
Ongoing Investments
Considering growing energy
dependence of Turkey, benefiting
from domestic and renewable energy
sources carries strategic importance
for the country. In addition, renewable
sources are playing key role by
supporting endeavors for decreasing
carbon emission level. To that extent,
hydroelectric energy, which is a
domestic, renewable and clean energy
source, has started to assume greater
importance in Turkey as stated in
the strategic paper declared by State
Planning Agency.
D Energy based its investment
strategies on this premise. Within
the current portfolio, that has 1 GW
licensed installed capacity, Artvin
Hydroelectric Power Plant (332 MW), in
which D Energy holds 100% share, is
the latest investment of the company
after the Boyabat Hydroelectric
Power Plant (513 MW), in which it
holds a 34% share, and the Aslancık
Hydroelectric Power Plant (120 MW),
in which it holds a 33% share. Total
amount of investments of these three
projects exceeds US$ 2,200 million.
Construction of Artvin Hydroelectric
Power Plant was started in December
2010. US$ 800 million is going to be
invested for the project, which is fully
owned by D Energy and located on
Çoruh reservoir in the north eastern
side of the country. Once the project
is completed, in 2015, it will generate
more than 1 billion kWh of electricity
per year with its 332 MW installed
capacity and will be one of the leading
hydroelectric power plants in Turkey.
With US$ 1,200 million of investment,
Boyabat Hydroelectric will be
operational by the second half of 2012
with its 513 MW installed capacity
and will generate 1.5 billion kWh of
electricity per year. The project has
begun to hold the water at the end
of 2011 and will have the greatest
installed capacity among hydroelectric
power plants that are owned by the
private sector within Turkey.
US$ 200 million will be invested for the
run on river type Aslancık Hydroelectric
Power Plant with an installed capacity
of 120 MW and the project is expected
to be operational by 2013.
Artvin and Boyabat hydroelectric power
plants, which compose 87% of total
capacity under construction invested
by D Energy, are designed to benefit
from peak hours. They will both help
the company to maximize its profit and
serve the country by stabilizing spot
market electricity prices in peak hours.
D Energy believes that the significance
of electricity trading will increase
every year. From this perspective, the
company has also 25% share in the
D-TES Electric Power Trading Company
which was founded in 2003.
Future Plans
D Energy closely monitors privatization
initiatives, green and brown field
projects in various regions of the
country in order to optimize its
portfolio. D Energy will continue
to operate in the areas of energy
generation and will focus on electricity
trading activities. In addition, D Energy
is developing investment plans on
prospective projects to have optimal
generation portfolio, and aims to build
an additional of 2 GW, mainly from
renewable and conventional resources.

Send Me to School Campaign
(Baba Beni Okula Gönder)
Since 2006, Doğuş Holding has been

Financial Literacy
Para Durumu (First financial literacy
initiative of Turkey that reaches out
to masses)
Financial literacy is an individual’s
ability to make informed judgements
and effective decisions about the use
and management of his/her money.
Thus, financially literate consumers
manage their income, save and invest
wisely and avoid fraudulent practices.
The term has gained much importance
all around the world, since each
‘person’ and ‘household’ is the base of
economic sustainability in a country.
Para Durumu is the first private media
and interaction based financial literacy
initiative of Turkey, which reaches out
to masses via several channels: the
TV show started out in CNBC-e for the
first year, and then transferred to
A Haber, where it airs twice a week at
7 pm, prime time. It also pages on the
highest circulated national newspaper
Posta and also on Hürriyet and is
broadcasted at the highest rated radio
channel Kral FM. Para Durumu is also
broadcasted on the daily morning show
of Capital Radio and published on the
monthly women’s magazine ELELE.
Para Durumu actively uses social media
channels via Facebook and Twitter
and also operates a very popular
blog+internet site: www.paradurumu.tv
Para Durumu has soon become an
address where people seeked out
to solve and be guided for personal
finance problems, financial product
questions, saving for a house, budget
decisions, investment choices, credit
card issues, and ‘making it through’
problems. It has become a popular (and
only) venue for people to “talk money”
in public.
The initiative is recognized as a
Financial Literacy initiative of Turkey by
OECD.
Among the activities that make Para
Durumu an outstanding initiative are:
• The initiative reaches out to youth
(University students) via physical
meetings as well. In 2010-2011, it
visited 12 universities across the
country where average participation
was 1,000 students. It also visited
high-schools and elementary schools in
different parts of Turkey meeting with
200 young female students between
ages 15-18 in Şanlıurfa and bringing
them along to Harran University, which
was their first visit to a university.
These special programs were
presented as a model for financial
education to the Republic of Turkey
Ministry of National Education.
• Para Durumu runs special projects
with “children” (Elementary school
students). The initiative organized
a six week project with Lütfi Banat
Elementary School, where students

support to culture and the arts in
Turkey, and takes on “sustainable”
initiatives in these areas. Garanti Bank’s

Gallery have been restructured as a
single autonomous organization. The
new institution is founded on a “Two
Buildings, One Program” idea, and
called SALT.

issues in visual and material culture,
and cultivates innovative programs for
research and experimental thinking.
Assuming an open attitude and
establishing itself as a site of learning
and debate, SALT aims to challenge,
excite and encourage its visitors to
offer critique and response.
SALT’s activities are distributed
between two landmark buildings
located no more than a fifteen-
minute walk apart, and also shared
via saltonline. The first building,
SALT Beyoğlu, is on the pedestrian
street İstiklal Caddesi, and shares
its audience with a cluster of private

single heading, “Traffic is Life!”,
focusing on the traffic issue, in order
to raise public awareness on traffic
safety since 2004.

social awareness and cultural
change, Doğuş Otomotiv continues
its social responsibility projects in
order to create public consciousness
concerning traffic safety. As part of
this main theme, the slogan and logo
of “Traffic is Life!” have been used
since 2004 as the social responsibility
platform under which all corporate
projects are gathered to raise the
awareness of drivers and pedestrians
alike. All activities carried out to
create a positive change in the target
group regarding traffic culture have
been stepped up in 2011. The target
group is divided into 3 segments;
(1)Doğuş Group employees, (2)
children and youth and (3)public. The

platform have been structured so as
to reach and benefit all segments of
the public. All activities are created
with an integrated approach and the
360-degree communications method is
used to reach a wide audience.
Employee TrainingFollowing a strategy of creating traffic
safety awareness by starting with
Doğuş Otomotiv employees and
reaching the rest of the public, new
training programs have been prepared
on the targeted subjects together with
academicians specialized on those
titles.“First Aid Approach after Traffic
Accidents Training” and “Safe Driving
Techniques Training” have been rolled
out for all Doğuş Otomotiv employees
in 2011. During these training sessions
attended by the employees of all Doğuş

was given at the Istanbul Park F1 track,
again covering theory and practice,
with the aim of improving the driving
skills of 1,114 Doğuş Group employees;
employees who spent longer hours
driving were offered “Advanced Driving

completed the program. Doğuş Otomotiv
also aims at communicating directly with
its customers and reaching the broader
public through its Authorized Dealer

information and events.
Traffic Responsibility Action
Traffic Responsibility Action, which is
supported by TÜVTURK, arose from
efforts to ensure the support of private
sector corporations and individuals,
along with the public institutions and
organizations, to various solutions
to the problems suffered in traffic,
underscoring the principle of personal
responsibility. On this basis, Traffic
Responsibility Action is a corporate
social responsibility project aimed at
target groups with general training and
awareness-raising activities.
The project stems from the fact that
it is possible to produce durable and
sustainable solutions to maintain
safety of life in traffic only through the
participation of the stakeholders of
the issue. The project is coordinated
by the Ministry of Transport, Maritime
Affairs and Communications and with
the contribution of several stakeholders
comprising of other governmental
bodies, public institutions, the
academia and NGOs.
All the activities carried out in the
development and execution phase of
the project have been presented for
the consideration of the stakeholders
during the Stakeholder Meetings
held on May 4, 2010, July 15, 2010,
December 23, 2010, April 6, 2011 and
January 30, 2012; the project has been
structured in line with their ideas and
suggestions.
Traffic Responsibility Action is
executed through three subprojects:
a) Safe Vehicle Action’s target audience
is commercial vehicle drivers in
particular
b) Responsible Citizen Action’s target
audiences are university students and
the public, and
c) Bosom Buddies Action’s target
audiences are teachers, students and
their parents.
Traffic Responsibility Action started in
May 2010. Safe Vehicle Action reached
nearly 170,000 individuals in the field
activities and 3,000 commercial vehicle
drivers at the training seminars in 36
cities.
Responsible Citizen Action reached
2,500 teachers and instructors working
in Public Training Centers in 25 cities.
The courses are carried out at Public
Training Centers; the total number
reached this way is over 50,000.
Additionally, Responsible Citizen Action
reached 712 university students at the
seminars in 6 universities.
Within the scope of Bosom Buddies

teachers from 36 cities. This project
continues; it anticipates reaching 3,200
teachers, over 100,000 students,
200,000 parents and 6,000 school bus
drivers in 300 schools.
Following the main introductory
films, ‘Kaza’ (The Accident) and ‘Göz
Yumma’ (Don’t Condone) of Traffic
118 DOĞUŞ GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011

for primary school students.
Additionally, since May 4, 2010, over
2 million materials and before the
holiday of the Feast of Sacrifice, one
million Safe Vehicle Cards and 124,000
posters were distributed all over the
country thanks to the efforts of the
stakeholders.
The business community, organized
under the platform meeting by Traffic
Responsibility Movement on December
13, 2011, came together to contribute
to increasing traffic safety, and create
a declaration that will guide these
efforts. Aviva Insurance, BP, Brisa, Ceva
Logistics, Doğuş Otomotiv, Goodyear,
Michelin, Renault Mais, Temsa Global,
Tofaş, Toyota, Turkey Petroleum and
TÜVTURK representatives shared their
experiences and exchanged ideas about
their work in the field of traffic safety.

of the Ministry of Transport, Maritime
Affairs and Communications, is open to
all private sector enterprises sensitive to
safety of life in traffic.
In 2012, Traffic Responsibility Action will
continue with activities in other cities.

TÜVTURK - Count Us in Too!
“Count Me Too In Transport,
Communication and Life!” (Ulaşımda,
İletişimde, Hayatın İçinde Ben de
Varım!) is a project initiated by the
Turkish Ministry of Transport, Maritime
Affairs and Communications. It is
based on the belief that those disabled
individuals can work despite their
disadvantages, and therefore both they
and their families might hold on to life
more firmly.
TÜVTURK contributes to this
meaningful project of high spiritual
values by saying ‘Count us in too!’.
TÜVTURK has offered job opportunity
for disabled citizens at the TÜVTURK
Call Center. In addition to those
who come to work, TÜVTURK has
made the necessary hardware
and substructure accessible for
new candidates, and created an
environment where individuals are
able to provide call-center services
from their own homes. The fact that
victims of traffic accidents answer the
questions about the services provided
at TÜVTURK vehicle inspection
stations, and make a contribution
to the traffic safety, however
indirectly, assigns a special sense and
significance to this service.
In line with its employment policy for
the Call Center, TÜVTURK gives priority
to employing individuals with any kind
of disability due to a traffic accident.
Following the participation of TÜVTURK
in “Count Me Too In Transport,
Communication and Life!” project,
such employment has accelerated;
currently, TÜVTURK Call Center
employs 85 individuals, including 60
customer representatives who work
from home.
Since the date when TÜVTURK decided
to expand the scope of the project
all over the country, new employees
have joined the Call Center staff from
different cities. During the recruiting
procedure, candidates with clear voices
and smooth diction were determined
through phone interviews first, and
then trainers were sent to their cities,
where they gave theoretical training
regarding vehicle inspection. The
second phase of the training involved
visits to inspection stations; with
the participation of local business
associates, theoretical training was
reinforced by on-site observations
and inspections. Following instruction
on the computer and communication
substructure, the candidates were
ready to answer initial questions and
become employed within the body of
TÜVTURK Call Center.
Currently, 56 disabled employees from
16 cities all over the country answer
nearly 250,000 calls monthly along with
other 40 customer representatives.
TÜVTURK believes it sets an example
for all corporations on solutions for
facilitating the employment of the
disabled.

Particular care is taken to protect
natural resources, to minimize negative
environmental impacts and to adopt
necessary mitigation measures. To
this end, Doğuş Construction is in
full compliance with the applicable
environmental laws and regulations.
Morocco, Argana – Amskroud
Motorway Project
The Argan tree is an endemic species,
unique to Southern Morocco, and the
fruits resemble olives. The oil from the
Argan fruit is one of the most valuable
plant oils in the world, containing an
abundant amount of Vitamin E. The
absorption rate of the oil is very high
and it is used as a cream to nourish the
skin and to delay the aging process.
The Argan tree exists only in the south-
western area of the Moroccan State.
This tree is an endangered species
and under protection. Accordingly, in
collaboration with the Moroccan Forest
Administration, the Morocco, Argana -
Amskroud Project team chose to build
the required depots only where there
were the minimum number of trees.
The project team compensated for any
potential damage to wildlife by using
the depot areas to grow Argan trees
in an area of 75 hectares, as identified
by the Moroccan Ministry of Forestry.
In this way, the project team aims to
protect the wildlife and the natural
resources which represent a valuable
forest to the country.
Sinop – Boyabat (Via Tunnel)
Motorway Project
Along the projected route, there are
5 different areas (total length of 8.8
km.) where terrain observations and
drillings were accomplished. To reduce
damage to forests, steep-sloped high
cutting excavations were eliminated.
Further, in geologically stratified flysch
beds, “heel fillings” were built to form
the motorway platform and to reduce
the potential risk of landslip from
hydraulic underground movements.
Finally, where the motorway route
is constructed near villages and
neighbourhoods, high cuttings were
reduced in order to conserve the
forest and to prevent landslip risk in
settlements.
In the context of the project,
excavations were completed in the
Gökırmak Stream borrow pit and
stream material was gathered to be
used in the motorway fillings. Further
to a correspondence between the
project administration and the Turkish
Republican Motorways, the borrow
pit excavations were backfilled with
the top layer of soil (i.e., organic
layer) which was removed from the
motorway route. With this method, the
Stream’s flora was replenished.
Where the motorway runs parallel to
the Stream in the project, the Stream
bed was modified to prevent soil
erosion.
Boyabat Dam and HEPP Construction
Project
The Natural Wastewater Treatment
Plant that Doğuş implemented under
the title of Boyabat Dam and HEPP
Project was performed adopting 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, and the treatment
of water with wetland plants that are
120 DOĞUŞ GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011
grown, which are small imitations of
the natural structure. 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. In consideration
of the fact that the treatment system,
with no commissioning cost, is very
inexpensive in terms of investment
and is an environment and human
friendly investment. It aims to increase
the environmental 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.

Renovation of Dere Cuma Mosque
The 400-year-old historical Cuma
Mosque that was recognized during
the construction of Sinop-Boyabat Road
(with Tunnel Crossing) was renovated
by Doğuş Construction and opened with
a ceremony subsequently.
This historic structure in the village of
Boyalıca, which had sunk into oblivion;
was rediscovered and brought back
to life by Doğuş Construction during
the construction of the 55 km Sinop-
Boyabat Road (with Tunnel Crossing)
that connects the Black Sea Region to
Central Anatolia Region. The mosque,
which had been providing service to
neighbouring villages for centuries only
on Fridays until quite recently, was
revived because of the Boyabat Road
(with Tunnel Crossing) that passes right
in front of the mosque.
Media
Environment
Doğuş Media’s reputation as a green
leader has been bolstered by becoming
the first company in Turkey’s media
sector to report its carbon footprint in
2009. NTV has built on green success
by releasing this report.
This follows the success of their award-
winning ‘Green Screen’ lineup, which
since 2008 has promoted environmental
programs on NTV. The ‘Green Screen’
project aims to raise public awareness
on environmental issues, responding
to questions and correcting common
misconceptions about issues such as
global warming, renewable energy,
organic diets, and green holidays.
Doğuş Media Group is proud to report
that it has reduced its carbon impact by
32.2% per employee and by 14.17%
per TL 1 million turnover from 2009 to
2010. The Group’s total carbon footprint
measured just over 20,000 tonnes CO2
in 2010. The carbon footprint measured
the organisation’s gas and electricity
use, and also business and commuter
travel for its 1,500 employees.
To progress their commitment to
environmental sustainability, Doğuş
Media Group has set the bold goal of
becoming a ‘carbon neutral’ company,
using the internationally-recognised
PAS 2060 standard for carbon
neutrality. In the short-term, the group
will continue its sustainability program
of awareness raising activities to
reduce GHG emissions in collaboration
with all stakeholders.

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 recognised 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) Acquisitions of non-controlling interests
Acquisitions of non-controlling interests are accounted for as transactions with owners in their capacity as owners and therefore no goodwill is recognised as a result. Adjustments to non-controlling interests arising from transactions that do not involve the loss of control are based on a proportionate amount of the net assets of the subsidiary.
(iii) 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.

3 Significant accounting policies (continued)
(a) Basis of consolidation (continued)
(iv) Loss of control
On the loss of control, the Group derecognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, any non-controlling interests and the other components of equity related to the subsidiary. 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.
(v) 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:

(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.

3 Significant accounting policies (continued)
(a) Basis of consolidation (continued)
(vii) 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 and T-2 Capital are special purpose entities established for Garanti Bank’s securitisation and subordinated debt transactions, respectively. The Group does not have any shareholding interest in these companies.
(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 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 2006.
(c) Foreign currency
(i) 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.

(c) Foreign currency (continued)
(ii) 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 operation is a non-wholly-owned subsidiary, then the relevant proportionate share 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) Financial instruments
(i) 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.

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 include 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.
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.

(d) Financial instruments (continued)
(i) Non-derivative financial assets (continued)
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-for-sale 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 (q). Accounting for finance income and expenses for segments other than banking and finance is discussed in note 3 (t).
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 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.

(ii) 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 80-125 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.

(d) Financial instruments (continued)
(iii) 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) Property and equipment
(i) 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:

(e) Property and equipment (continued)
(i) 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 expense”. 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.

(e) Property and equipment (continued)
(iv) 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 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 capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful lives of the related assets.
(f) Intangible assets
(i) 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 and 38 years starting from 15 August 2007 and 7 December 2010 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.
(iii) 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 2011. Terrestrial broadcast rights have indefinite useful lives. These rights are tested for impairment annually.

(iv) Brand name
Brand name represents brand name of Star TV which is related to the intangible asset recognised during the acquisition of Star TV in 2011. 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 2011. 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 from the year 2012.
(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 a business combination, 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 starting from the year 2012. Hence, amortisation charge could not be incurred for the two-months period ended 31 December 2011. 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. Cash collateral placements in respect of securities borrowed are recognised under banking loans and advances to either banks or customers. Income and expenses arising from the securities borrowing and lending business are recognised on an accrual basis over the period of the transactions and are included in “Revenues” or “Cost of revenues”.
(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.

(h) Repurchase and resale agreements over investments (continued)
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 self-constructed 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.
(j) Leased assets
Leases in terms of which the Group assumes substantially all 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.
Other leases are operating leases and, except for investment property, the leased assets are not recognised on the Group’s consolidated statement of financial position.
(k) 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 (q)(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 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) Impairment
(i) 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. 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 may 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.

(m) Impairment (continued)
(i) Non-derivative financial assets (continued)
Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments (continued)
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 cash-generating unit (“CGU”) exceeds its recoverable amount.
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.

(ii) Non-financial assets (continued)
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) 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.
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.
(o) Employee benefits
(i) 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 Memur ve Müstahdemleri 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 qualified employees. 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:
2011Employer % Employee %
Pension contributions 15.5 10.0Medical benefit contributions 6.0 5.0
2010Employer % Employee %
Pension contributions 15.5 10.0Medical benefit contributions 6.0 5.0
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)).

(i) 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 2008. 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 2.73 thousand and TL 2.52 thousand at 31 December 2011 and 2010, respectively.
International Financial Reporting Standards 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:
2011 2010% %
Discount rate 4.3-4.7 4.66Turnover rate to estimate the probability of retirement 1.0-8.00 1.0-9.00

(p) 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)).
(q) Revenue and cost recognition
(i) 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.

(q) Revenue and cost recognition (continued)
(ii) 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.

(q) Revenue and cost recognition (continued)
(ii) Insurance business (continued)
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 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.
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 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.

(q) Revenue and cost recognition (continued)
(vi) Service concession arrangements (continued)
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 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. 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 sub-operation 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 amortization 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.

(r) 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.
(s) Leases
(i) 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.
(ii) 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.
(t) 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.
(u) 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.
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.

3 Significant accounting policies (continued)
(u) Income tax (continued)
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 and jointly controlled entities 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 on a net basis.
(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.

3 Significant accounting policies (continued)
(v) Indemnification assets (continued)
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 recognized through the profit or loss in contrary of the effect leading the net effect on the consolidated 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).

(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 2011, 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 separatelythe 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 2012.
• 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 2013.
• IFRS 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 2013.

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. When 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 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.

4 Determination of fair values (continued)
(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.
(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 risk-free 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.

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.

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. Risk Management activities are conducted by a realistic organizational structure and it is fully supported with the commitment of top level management, so that the Group is pioneer in risk management activities in Turkish business environment.
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 standardized 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 predetermined 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 customized 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.

(c) Risk management framework for the banking and finance segment (continued)
(iv) 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-the-counter 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 maximize net trading income. Trading activities are managed by type of risk involved and on the basis of the categories of trading instruments held.

(d) Credit risk
(i) 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.

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 2011 and 2010.
Approximately 74 percent (2010: 71 percent) of the outstanding performing loans are collateralised. Guarantees and letters of credit are also subject to strict credit assessments before being provided. The agreements specify monetary limits to Garanti Bank and its subsidiaries’ obligations. The extent of collateral held for performing guarantees and letters of credit is approximately 83 percent (2010: 83 percent).
(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 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.

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 arises in the general funding of Garanti Bank and its subsidiaries’ activities and in the management of positions. It includes both the risk of being unable to fund assets at appropriate maturities and rates and the risk of being unable to liquidate an asset at a reasonable price and in an appropriate time frame.
Garanti Bank’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as for 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 Garanti Bank’s reputation. Funds are raised using a broad range of instruments including deposits, syndications, securitisations, bonds issuance, other funding sources and share capital. This enhances funding flexibility, limits dependence on any one source of funds and generally lowers the cost of funds. Garanti Bank strives to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of liabilities with a range of maturities. Liquidity risk is continuously assessed through identifying and monitoring changes in funding required for meeting business goals and targets set in terms of the overall strategy. In addition, a portfolio of liquid assets is held as a part of Garanti Bank’s liquidity risk management strategy.
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 2007.

Garanti Bank’s banking subsidiary in the Netherlands is subject to a similar liquidity measurement, however the Dutch Central Bank does not impose limits, rather monitors the banks’ overall liquidity position to ensure there is no significant deterioration in the liquidity of banks operating in the Netherlands.
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 which should be greater than 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 minimize liquidity risk, hold adequate cash and available line of credit (including factoring capacity).
(f) Market risk
(i) 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. The 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.

Interest rate risk
Garanti Bank and its subsidiaries’ operations are subject to the risk of interest rate fluctuations to the extent that interest-earning 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 optimizing net interest income, given market interest rate levels consistent with Garanti Bank’s business strategies.
Asset-liability risk management activities are conducted in the context of Garanti Bank’s sensitivity to interest rate changes. 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 interest rate risk of the statement of financial position is monitored with methods such as static duration, gap and sensitivity analysis.

There are internal limits set to manage interest rate risk for non-trading portfolios approved by the Board of Directors of Garanti Bank. The structural interest rate risk limit is calculated based on the present value change in interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities, except trading portfolio, resulting from stress test applied as predefined point increase for interest rates. The single transaction limits are defined for asset-liability management dealers.

5 Financial risk management (continued)
(f) Market risk (continued)
(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 minimize 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.
(g) Operational risk
(i) 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-statement of financial position 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.
Garanti Bank and its individually regulated operations have complied with externally imposed capital requirements throughout the period.
Garanti Bank’s and its subsidiaries’ regulatory capital position on a consolidated basis as at 31 December is as follows:
2011 (*) 2010 (*)
Tier 1 capital 4,316,469 4,530,106Tier 2 capital 519,057 711,899Deductions from capital (19,176) (32,137)Total regulatory capital 4,816,350 5,209,868

Hedging
Due to Garanti Bank and its subsidiaries’ overall interest rate risk position and funding structure, its risk management policies require that it should minimize 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 entered 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. The following table includes certain characteristics of the swap transactions outstanding as at 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 119.8 million (Group share) with maturity of 10 years and maturity date of 20 April 2021 which were priced at 6.375 percent originally and had a coupon rate of 6.25 percent, by designating interest rate swaps with the same face value amount and conditions.
(ii) Other corporate segmentsDue to the Group’s overall interest rate risk position and funding structure, its risk management policies require that it should minimize 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.

14 Taxation
In Turkey, corporate income tax is levied at the rate of 20 percent (31 December 2010: 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.26133 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 2008. Accordingly, the investment incentive allowance practice was ended as at 1 January 2006. 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 2008. 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.

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.27456 dated 8 January 2010.
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. 6009 “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 2010. The Article 5 of the Law regulates the amount of investment incentive to be benefited in calculating the corporate tax base after the cancellation of the clause no.2 of the Article of the Law no. 5479. According to the Law no. 6009, the taxpayers are allowed to benefit from the investment incentive stemming from the periods before the promulgation of the Law no. 5479 up to 25 percent of the taxable income of the respective tax period. Such change is effective including the fiscal year ending on 31 December 2011.
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 2010: 10 percent) corporate tax and 15 percent (31 December 2010: 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 corporate tax returns are filed in the tax administration office in April following the end of the accounting year to which they relate. The corporate taxes are paid in two equal installments in May and October.

Malta
The corporate earnings are subjected to a 35 percent (31 December 2010: 35 percent) corporate tax. This rate is determined by modifying accounting income for certain exclusions and allowances for tax purposes. The earnings of the foreign corporations’ branches in Malta are also subject to the same tax rate that the resident corporations in Malta are subject to. The earnings of such branches that are transferred to their head offices are not subject to an additional tax. The prepaid taxes are paid in April, August and December in the related years. The prepayments can be deducted from the annual corporate tax calculated for the whole year earnings. The excess part of the corporate tax that is not covered by such prepayments is paid to the tax office in September.
Luxembourg
The corporate earnings are subject to a 21 percent (31 December 2010: 21 percent) corporate tax. This rate is determined by modifying accounting income for certain exclusions and allowances for tax purposes. An additional 5 percent of the calculated corporate tax is paid as a contribution for unemployment insurance fund. 3 percent of the taxable income is paid as municipality tax addition to corporate tax, the municipalities have right to increase this rate up to 200-350 percent. The municipality commerce tax is currently 9 percent of the taxable income. The tax returns do not include any tax payable amounts. The tax calculations are done by the tax office and the amounts to be paid are declared to tax authorities through official letters called Note. The amounts and the payments dates of prepaid taxes are determined and declared by the tax office at the beginning of the taxation period. The corporations whose head offices are outside Luxembourg, are allowed to transfer the rest of their net income after tax following the allocation of 5 percent of it for legal reserves, to their head offices.
Tax applications for foreign subsidiaries and joint ventures of the Group
The Netherlands
In the Netherlands, corporate income tax is levied at the rate of 20 percent (31 December 2010: 20 percent) for tax profits up to Euro 200,000 and 25 percent (31 December 2010: 25.5 percent) for the excess part over this amount on the worldwide income of resident companies, which is determined by modifying accounting income for certain exclusions and allowances for tax purposes for the related year. A unilateral decree for the avoidance of double taxation provides relief for resident companies from Dutch tax on income, such as foreign business profits derived through a permanent establishment abroad, if no tax treaty applies. There is an additional dividend tax of 5 percent computed only on the amounts of dividend distribution at the time of such payments. Under the Dutch taxation system, tax losses can be carried forward for nine years to offset against future taxable income. Tax losses can be carried back to one prior year. Companies must file their tax returns within nine months following the end of the tax year to which they relate, unless the company applies for an extension (normally an additional nine months). Tax returns are open for five years from the date of final assessment of the tax return 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. The corporate income tax has been calculated using the nominal tax rate of 25 percent (31 December 2010: 25.5 percent) over the Dutch taxable income and 30 percent (31 December 2010: 30 percent) over the local taxable income of Germany branch of Garanti Bank.
Romania
The applicable corporate tax rate in Romania is 16 percent (31 December 2010: 16 percent). The taxation system in Romania is continuously developing and is subject to varying interpretations and constant changes, which may become rarely retroactive. In Romania, tax periods remain open for tax audits for seven years. Tax losses can be carried forward to offset against future taxable income for seven years.

Taxes are subject to review and investigation by a number of authorities, which have the authority to impose severe fines, penalties and interest charges. A tax year remains open for review by the tax authorities during the three subsequent calendar years; however, under certain circumstances a tax year may remain open for a longer period.

14.3 Deferred tax assets and liabilities
Deferred tax is provided in respect of taxable temporary differences arising between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes, except for the differences relating to goodwill not deductible for tax purposes and the initial recognition of assets and liabilities which affect neither accounting nor taxable profit.
Unrecognised deferred tax assets and liabilities
As at 31 December 2011, deferred tax assets amounting to TL 205,032 thousand (2010: TL 123,565 thousand) have not been recognised with respect to the statutory tax losses carried forward and deductible temporary differences amounting to TL 163,325 thousand and TL 41,707 thousand, respectively (2010: TL 73,954 thousand and TL 49,611 thousand, respectively). Such losses carried forward expire until 2016. Deferred tax assets have not been recognised in respect of these items because it is not probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the Group can utilise the benefits therefrom.
Recognised deferred tax assets and liabilities
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at 31 December are attributable to the items detailed in the table below:

According to the Tax Procedural Law in Turkey, statutory losses can be carried forward maximum for five years. Consequently, 2016 is the latest year for recovering the deferred tax assets arising from such tax losses carried forward. The Group management forecasted to generate taxable income during 2012 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 317,680 thousand (2010: TL 677,610 thousand) will be realisable; hence, such realisable deferred tax assets in the amount of TL 63,536 thousand (2010: TL 135,522 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 deferred income taxes relate to the same fiscal authority.

15 Property and equipment (continued)
The Group’s land and buildings are revalued for the purpose of the consolidated financial statements. Independent third party appraisers conduct the appraisals periodically on the basis of fair market value. As at 31 December 2011, the revaluation surplus, net of non-controlling interests and deferred taxes, amounting to TL 1,060,279 thousand including the fair value differences of investment and trading properties till the date of the use of property change from property and equipment and land and buildings and the fair value differences of property and equipment until reclassified as asset held for sale (31 December 2010: TL 1,086,198 thousand) was recognised in other comprehensive income, and presented in “revaluation surplus” account within the equity.
Had there been no revaluation on land and buildings, the balances of land and buildings as at 31 December would have been as follows:
Historical cost Accumulated depreciation Net Book Value
31 December 2011 1,625,126 (205,919) 1,419,20731 December 2010 1,771,106 (298,952) 1,472,154

At 31 December, intangible assets comprised the following:
2011 2010Goodwill 785,701 677,437Intangible assets other than goodwill 825,188 436,955

Balance at the end of the year 785,701 677,437
(*) Disposal of goodwill amounting to TL 94,507 thousand for the year ended 31 December 2011 is related to the partial disposal of the interest in a proportionately consolidated joint venture, Garanti Bank (See note 8.3).
Disposal of goodwill amounting to TL 78,633 thousand for the year ended 31 December 2010 is related to the decrease in the ownership interest in G Netherlands, formerly named as Doğuş GE B.V. (a proportionately consolidated joint venture). On 27 May 2010, Doğuş Holding has sold its interest in Garanti Holding B.V., formerly named as D Netherlands (the parent company of G Netherlands), to its proportionately consolidated joint venture, Garanti Bank, and this transaction has resulted in a reduced ownership interest in G Netherlands.

34 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. 26377 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 2006. 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 10.24 percent and the CSO 1980 mortality table. Based on the actuarial report, the assets of the plan exceed the amount that will be required to be paid to transfer the obligation at 31 December 2006. 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 26870.

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 2008. 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 organizations 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. 27900 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.5510.
On 19 June 2008, Cumhuriyet Halk Partisi (“CHP”) 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. 5510 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 11 January 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 2011.
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.

(*) Plan assets are composed of asset surplus in the plan explained in section (i).
As per the actuarial calculation performed as at 31 December 2011 as detailed above, the asset surplus over the fair value of the plan assets to be used for the payment of the obligations also fully covers the benefits not transferable and still a surplus of TL 177,398 thousand (2010: TL 152,512 thousand) remains. However, Garanti Bank’s management, acting prudently, did not consider the health premium surplus amounting TL 73,198 thousand (2010 TL 80,554 thousand) as stated above that resulted from the present value of medical benefits and health premiums transferable to SSF. However, despite this treatment, there is no excess obligation that needs to be provided against as at 31 December 2011.

The proceeds from the sales of securities under repurchase agreements are treated as liabilities and recorded as obligations under repurchase agreements. As at 31 December 2011, the maturities of the obligations varied from one day to 29 months and interest rates varied between 1 percent - 13 percent (31 December 2010: 1 percent - 5 percent, with maturities varying from one day to five months).

At 31 December 2011 and 2010, Garanti Bank has no allowance for loans and advances to banks.
Garanti Bank developed a statistical-based internal risk rating model for its credit portfolio of corporate/commercial/medium-size 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 credit authorization limits and in credit assessment process.
The concentration table of the cash and non-cash loans for Garanti Bank according to the risk rating system for its customers defined as corporate, commercial and medium-size enterprises is presented below.

Sensitivity analysis
A 10 percent weakening of TL against the above currencies at 31 December would have increased (decreased) equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2010.

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.
41.4 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.

As at 31 December 2011, the fair value of investment in debt securities was TL 8,666,628 thousand (2010: TL 12,374,432 thousand), whereas the carrying amount was TL 8,610,758 thousand (2010: TL 12,211,147 thousand).

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.

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.
