2011 ANNUAL REPORT
A Message from the CEO
Dear Shareholders,
The important role of the food industry in the
development of Turkey
Our country continued its successful economic
performance of the prior year into 2011, and recorded
annual GDP growth of 8.5% as of year-end. As a result,
Turkey was one of the few countries that distinguished
themselves from the pessimistic scenario that prevailed
throughout the year in the global economy. Despite the
downturn in the European market, domestic demand
in Turkey continued at full force, leading to a positive
mood in the real sector. During the year, the food sector
in Turkey catered to over 31 million foreign tourists,
in addition to our country’s population of 75 million
citizens. The food sector outpaced many others in
Turkey by registering growth of 7.6% by year-end.
Our restructuring efforts focus on the future
Thanks to the transformation initiative that followed
the restructuring process, Ülker has become an even
larger food company yet with a simpler structure. The
efforts to merge the group companies engaged in the
biscuit, chocolate and cake categories under Ülker and
to exclude the businesses operating in other categories
from the portfolio, have started to yield positive results
in terms of sales income and profit margins.
With the new structure implemented in 2011, the
Company aims to:

Outperforming many other sectors with
an annual growth rate of 7.6% by 2011
year-end, the food sector nevertheless
has been greatly affected by the
fluctuations in commodity food prices
around the world.
In 2012, the world economy is expected to expand at a
slower pace, at a projected 2.5%. Meanwhile, the growth
trend in developing countries is expected to continue,
albeit with a slight decline in momentum. With strong
domestic demand as the driving force, Turkey’s
economic growth rate is estimated to reach 4-5% for
the year, despite the recession in Europe, the country’s
biggest export market. In order for Turkey to turn the
recession in EU countries into an opportunity, it must
sustain its competitive advantages by effectively
executing information technology and production
strategies, which have high added value, are R&D and
innovation focused and are export oriented.

The Company aims to accomplish these goals through
leaders who have a global perspective as well as
innovative and sustainable Human Resources systems.
Ülker shapes its human resources practices in line with
Yıldız Holding’s Human Resources Strategies and Values,
which are expressed as, “Our Customers Come First!”,
“We Are Number 1 in Quality!”, “We Are Competitive!”,

“We Are Driven By Change!”. The Company aims to
increase its competitive advantages in both domestic
and foreign markets via effective human resources
practices, which are aimed at achieving superior quality
in all business processes, high motivation and loyalty of
employees, and collaboration.
In order to further increase the loyalty and motivation

surveys and carries out development programs
according to the results obtained from these surveys.
The Company also organizes social events with the
participation of its employees and their families with the
purpose of reinforcing the bond between the Company
HUMAN RESOURCES
and its employees. To maintain a high level of employee
satisfaction and boost loyalty, Ülker routinely inquires
the opinions of its employees via questionnaires and
evaluation forms. The results of the “Voice of the Stars
– Employee Loyalty Survey”, which was conducted
throughout Yıldız Holding towards the end of 2011, were
announced at the beginning of 2012. Following the
analysis of these results, the Company plans to take
actions in improvement areas, if there are any.
Each year, Ülker holds meetings with workplace union
representatives, in cooperation with the Industrial
Relations Board. These meetings aim to improve
the communication between the Company and its
employees, and to provide opportunities for the sharing
of ideas that will move the Company forward. Likewise,
the Company organizes Partnership Communication
Meetings to open new channels of communication, and
to boost employee satisfaction and loyalty.

Thanks to its expert and experienced R&D personnel,
Ülker continued to develop new products compliant with
the Company’s high quality standards in 2011, and took
its innovative approach to higher levels. In this respect,
the Company concentrated on R&D projects in order
to fully utilize the capacity of the facilities, and achieved
significant progress in capacity increase with new
products.
By 2011 year-end, 69 new projects were realized by the
R&D departments of Istanbul and Ankara factories, and 12
of these projects were developed into new products and
subsequently launched. In addition, four new products
(Bolero Chocolate-covered Wafer with Hazelnut, Alpella
Ring, Halley with 2-layers, and Hot Çiziviç) were launched
by the Ankara factory; and eight new products (Krispi with
nigella seeds, Spiced Krispi, Krispi Nacho with cheese,
Hanımeller Tarsus Shortbread, Albeni 60 gr., Albeni Sticks,
Albeni Snack Biscuits, Albeni Cracked Biscuit) by the
Istanbul factory.
In the area of product development, the Ankara factory
developed one new product (Rondo 75g) and 11 new
types of packaging (Snack-size Çokoprens 3 in MP, Mini
Halley 4 in MP, Snack-size Çokoprens 4 in MP, Half Time
Hazelnut Mille Feuille, Scoozi Banana Wafer, Scoozi Vanilla
Wafer, Scoozi Strawberry Wafer, Scoozi Chocolate Wafer,
Mini Halley 5 in MP, Hazelnut İkram 92g, Chocolate İkram
92g); and the Istanbul factory successfully developed
45 new types of packaging. Products developed by
R&D departments in 2011 represented 2.6 % of the
total tonnage of the Ankara Factory, and 5% of the total
tonnage of the Istanbul Factory.
“Delicious, Healthy and Trusted” Products
In 2011 Ülker continued to conduct routine tests and
analyses in areas such as raw materials and packaging, as
well as carrying out evaluations on semi-manufactured
and finished products, in order to guarantee consistent
quality standards and reliable production, free from
human error. Accordingly, production trials and analyses
were performed on a total of 58 alternative raw materials
in Ankara. In addition, results of raw-material analyses
performed by accredited laboratories were requested
from the suppliers and recorded. Within the scope of
defined analysis methods and procedures, the Company
carried out routine process controls, critical control
point (CCP) checks, shelf life analyses, scoring, as well
as supervision of equipment, workplace and employee
hygiene.
To set production standards of Ülker products, and
to determine the differences in similar products
manufactured by competitors, benchmarking was carried
out on certain product groups including Halley, Pötibör,
Çubuk Kraker, Çokoprens, Wafer, Rondo Cream, Canpare
Cream, İkram Cream, Çizi, Mavi Yeşil and Altınbaşak.
To ensure product safety and hygiene, in 2011 Ülker

Ülker always aims to meet consumer expectations at
the highest level possible and to consistently increase
customer satisfaction. Therefore, the Company
constantly solicits consumer feedback and takes any
corrective action that is required. In addition, inspections
and analyses are conducted in collaboration with the
suppliers in order to prevent quality-related problems
at the source. Also, within the frame of food safety
considerations, Ülker inspected distributor warehouses
located in various cities in order to ensure that Ülker
products reach end consumers in a hygienic manner.
Quality Assurance Practices
In 2011, Ülker carried out coordinated efforts at all of its
factories in order to reach “gold standards.” In addition,
results of raw-material analyses performed by accredited
laboratories were requested from the suppliers and
regularly recorded.
Within the scope of defined analysis methods and
procedures, the Company carried out routine process
controls, critical control point (CCP) checks, shelf life
analyses, scoring as well as supervision of equipment,
workplace and employee hygiene. A new infrastructure,
enabling a 12-month shelf life analysis was also set up in
2011.
To set production standards of Ülker products, and
to determine the differences in similar products
manufactured by competitors, benchmarking was carried
out in 2011 on certain products including Bebe Biscuits,
Pötibör, Biskrem, and Hanımeller Hazelnut. Additionally,
with the Capepack Pallet Arrangement Project realized
in 2011, products could be placed on pallets in the most
optimal way, thus preventing deformation of packed
products and also saving space in the warehouse.
In 2011, Ülker provided training sessions to its own
employees and employees of its contractors on
topics of Quality, Food Safety, Occupational Safety
and Health, Environment, and Energy Management
Systems. In addition, other training programs were
organized in collaboration with İŞKUR, within the scope

Ülker Children’s Art Workshop
The Ülker Children’s Art Workshop was held at ArtBeat,
Istanbul’s new contemporary art platform, and the
project brought children and arts together for the first
time during an arts fair targeting adults. Ülker Children’s
Art Workshop is the first of its kind in that sense,
and provided little art lovers with the opportunity to
participate in both fun and instructive activities for a
period of five days.
Football for Everyone (HIF)
The Ülker Children’s Art Workshop was inspired by the
idea that the love of art and the desire to visit museums
can be instilled in people at a very young age. Therefore,
the project was designed as a fun space for children
by an experienced team of experts. During the project,
children first played a game in which they could relate to
the art pieces displayed in the galleries, and afterwards
they got the chance to create their own art works at a
workshop where materials were freely available for them.
The Children’s art works were subsequently displayed
throughout the fair.
Like elsewhere in the world, football is very popular and
attracts large masses of people in Turkey. Always striving
to contribute to children’s social development, Ülker has
been undertaking the Grassroots project in collaboration
with Turkish Football Federation since December 2007,
under the name of “Football for Everyone” – HIF. The
Grassroots project is supported by UEFA and was offered
to the football federations in all member countries. Ülker
supported this project during different time periods
and with varying activities such as HIF Centers, Football
Villages, Mini Football Festivals, and by doing so the
Company displayed once again the importance it places
on children.

Risk Management
Corporate Risk Management efforts include determining
potential incidents that may affect Ülker, managing risks in
line with the Company’s risk taking profile, and providing an
acceptable level of assurance for the Company to achieve its
goals. Corporate Risk Management is a systematic process
which is utilized in devising strategies, implemented across the
Company and affected by the Company’s Board of Directors,
Senior Management as well as all of its employees.
While a potential risk may present a negative factor which
must be taken under control, for companies that implement
Corporate Risk Management it creates important opportunities.
In the past, risks were managed by individual departments,
however, in line with the changes in overall management
concept, risks are now tackled as a whole and assessed on
the basis of each company. Previously, risk assessment was
carried out by the internal audit departments of companies,
measurements were evaluated in a subjective manner, and risk
management functions were unstructured and inconsistent.
On the other hand, at companies, which adopt the principles of
Corporate Risk Management, risk committees ensure effective
risk management as imposed by the Board of Directors, and
thus risks can be properly measured. Besides, risk management
is structured to cover all management systems of companies.
RISK MANAGEMENT
As a result of proper Risk Management,
Companies are able to;

Carrying out production and sales activities in various
countries, Ülker is aware of the necessity to monitor risks and
take necessary measures, especially about risks arising from
currency and interest rates, raw material prices, partnerships
and new investments, which have become even more
important with the latest developments.
The Company’s risk management activities are carried out by
the Risk Committee. Furthermore, Ülker is also audited regularly
by the audit units of Yıldız Holding A.Ş., its principal shareholder,
and also by independent auditors. The findings of these audits
are reported to the members of the Audit Committee as well
as to Board Members. The Company’s workflows, procedures,

Investor Relations
Especially after the 2009 crisis, when the uncertainty in
financial markets increased and even insignificant news
made great impact on the market values of publicly traded
companies, investor relations units became even more
important for publicly traded companies.
Investor Relations Unit is in charge of establishing the
company’s information policy and ensuring that this policy is
adopted across the company.
The main responsibilities and duties of the Investor
Relations Unit are as follows:
a) To ensure that shareholders’ records are kept in a secure,
safe and an up-to-date form,
b) To reply shareholders’ requests for information in writing,
excluding information which is undisclosed to the public,
or classified as confidential or commercial secrets,
c) To provide that general assembly meetings are held in
conformity with applicable rules and regulations, Articles
of Incorporation, and other internal regulations,
d) To prepare the documents that may be useful to the
shareholders at the general assembly meetings,
e) To keep record of voting results and ensure that the
reports of the results are delivered to the shareholders,
f) To oversee and monitor all matters related to the
Legislation, the Company’s information policy as well as
public disclosure.
With the restructuring process initiated in 2011 in the area of
Investor Relations, Ülker aims to establish a more effective,
transparent, equal and timely communication. The Company
strives to carry out such processes in strict compliance
with relevant legislation, and at the level of globally “best
practices”. With this purpose, the Company held 14 meetings
in 2011 with the managers and analysts of brokerage firms in
Turkey in order to provide information about the Company’s
structure, restructuring process and operations, so that it
is better known and presented. In addition, the Company
organized an Analysts Day, which was attended by Ülker’s
Senior Management, and the Company had the opportunity
to present itself in detail to the leading representatives of the
financial market, and to share mutual expectations.
Ülker’s Investor Relations Unit was invited to and attended
exclusive meetings held at several finance centers abroad.
The Company participated in five meetings held in New York,
London, Frankfurt and Warsaw and attracted the attention of
foreign funds and corporations, receiving demand for regular
correspondence and meetings. In addition to the meetings
abroad, the Company attended two other meetings held in
Istanbul and Bodrum, Turkey, and met with shareholders as
well as potential investors. In 2011, Ülker had the opportunity
to provide comprehensive information to its shareholders and
investors at a total of 116 meetings held in Turkey, abroad and
at the Company’s Headquarters.
As a result of increased interest from investors, Ülker is
covered by eight analysts in 2012.
The above mentioned investor relations activities contributed
to the success of Ülker of which the shares performed above
ISE 100, ISE 50 and ISE Food and Beverage indices in 2011.

the Shareholders’ Meeting within the framework of Turkish Commercial Code, the provisions of the CMB and the provisions laid
down in the Articles of Incorporation. The dividend will not be less than the rate and amount fixed by the Capital Market Board,
and will be distributed within the legal periods designated by the CMB.

conditions of the national economy and the industry in which the Company operates.
Furthermore, the Articles of Incorporation also state that employees shall be paid merit bonuses from the profit according
to their performance. Also, although there is a provision in the Articles of Incorporation for payment of advance dividend, this

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Ülker Bisküvi Sanayi A.Ş. (“the Company”) and its
subsidiaries (together “the Group”) comprising the consolidated balance sheet as of 31 December 2011, and the consolidated
statement of comprehenssive income, consolidated statement of changes in shareholders’ equity and consolidated statement
of cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and accompanying information.
Management’s Responsibility
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance
with the financial reporting standards issued by the Capital Markets Board. This responsibility includes designing, implementing
and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements that
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and
making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our
audit in accordance with auditing standards published by Capital Markets Board. Those standards require that we comply
with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the consolidated financial
statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated
financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the
risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those
risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the
consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for
the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2.1 Basis of the presentation:
Principles for Preparation of Financial Statements and Significant Accounting Policies
The Company and its Turkish subsidiaries maintain their books of account and prepare their statutory financial statements
in accordance with accounting principles in the Turkish Commercial Code and tax legislation. Subsidiaries operating in foreign
countries maintain their books of account in the currencies of those countries and prepare their statutory financial statements
in accordance with the legislation effective in those countries.
Capital Markets Board (CMB) Decree No XI-29 “Capital Markets Financial Reporting Standards” provides principals and
standards regarding the preparation and presentation of financial statements. This Decree became effective for periods
beginning after 1 January 2008 and with its issuance Decree No XI-25 “Capital Markets Accounting Standards” was annulled.
Based on this Decree, the companies are required to prepare their financial statements based on International Financial
Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as accepted by the European Union.
However during the period in which the differences between the standards accepted by European Union and the standards
issued by International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) are announced by Turkish Accounting Standards Board (“TASB”),
IAS/ IFRS will be applied. In this scope, Turkish Accounting/ Financial Reporting Standards issued by TASB which do not
contradict to the standards accepted will be adopted. As the differences between IAS/IFRS endorsed by the European Union
and IAS/IFRS issued by the IASB have not been announced by TASB yet, these financial statements have been prepared within
the framework of the Communique XI, No: 29 and related promulgations to this Communique as accepted by the CMB, in
accordance with the CMB Financial Reporting Standards which are based on IAS/IFRS. Financial statements and the related
notes to them are presented in accordance with the formats recommended by the CMB, with the announcement dated 17 April
2008 and 9 January 2009, including the compulsory disclosures. Per decree no 660 published on the Official Gazette dated
2 November 2011 and became effective, additional article no:1 of the 2499 numbered Law on establishment of TASB has been
abrogated and establishment of Public Oversight, Accounting and Auditing Standards Association (“Board”) has been decided
by the Council of Ministers. In accordance with this additional temporary article no 1 of the decree, current regulations will
prevail until related standards and regulations will be issued by the Board become effective. Therefore this situation, as of the
reporting date, has no effect on the “Principles in Preparation of the Financial Statements” explained in this note.
Financial statements are prepared on the basis of historical cost principal except for revaluation of some financial instruments.
Determination of Functional Currency
Financial statements of each subsidiary of the Group are presented in the currency of the primary economic environment in
which the entities operate (its functional currency). The results and financial position of the each subsidiary are expressed in
Turkish Lira, which is the functional and presentation currency of the Group.
The functional currencies of Godiva Belgium BVBA and G New, Inc., which are the Group’s associates till September 23, 2011
were EUR and USD respectively and consolidated reporting currency was TL. Currency translation differences arising from
the associates which were consolidated under equity method till September 23, 2011 were recognized under the currency
translation difference account in equity.
As of 31 December 2011, foreign currency rates declared by Central Bank of Turkey are 1 Euro = TL 2,4438, 1 USD = TL 1,8889
(31.12.2010: 1 Euro = 2,0491, 1 USD = 1,5460). For the period between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2011, average foreign
currency rates declared by Central Bank of Republic of Turkey are 1 Euro = 2,3244 TL, 1 USD = 1,6708 TL (Jan 1, 2010-Dec. 31,
2010 : 1 Euro = 1,9886, 1 USD = 1,4990).

Preparation of Financial Statements in Hyperinflationary Periods
CMB, with its resolution dated 17 March 2005 and decree no 11/367 declared that companies operating in Turkey which prepare
their financial statements in accordance with CMB Accounting Standards, effective 1 January 2005, will not be subject to the
application of inflation accounting. Consequently, in the accompanying financial statements IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in
Hyperinflationary Economies” was not applied.
Comparative Information and Restatement of Prior Period Financial Statements
Consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared comparatively with the prior period in order to give
information about financial position and performance. If the presentation or classification of the financial statements is
changed, in order to maintain consistency, consolidated financial statements of the prior periods are also reclassified in line with
the related changes. The Group reclassified its previous period consolidated financial statements in order to make comparison
available with the current period consolidated financial statement. The natures, reasons and amounts of the reclassifications
are explained below:

another portion of TL 255.867 under the note “Marketing, Selling and Distribution Expenses” and another portion of TL 33.756
under the note “Research and Development Expenses” for comparative presentation purposes. The remaining portion has
been left under general administrative expenses.
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the
Company (its subsidiaries). Control is deemed to exist where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating
policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
Income and expenses of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of
comprehensive income from the effective date of acquisition and up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate. Where
necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with
those used by other members of the Group. All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on
consolidation.
Non-controlling interests (“Non Controlling Interests”) in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are identified separately
from the Group’s equity therein. Non Controlling Interests consist of the amount of those interests at the date of the original
business combination and the minority’s share of changes in equity since the date of the combination.
On acquisition, the assets and liabilities of a subsidiary are measured at their fair values as at the date of acquisition. The
interest of minority shareholders is stated at the minority’s proportion of the fair values of the assets and liabilities recognized if
applicable. The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated comprehensive
income statement from the effective date of acquisition up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.
Goodwill arising on acquisitions is recognized as an asset and initially measured at cost, being the excess of the cost of the
business combination over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities
recognized. If, after reassessment, the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and
contingent liabilities exceeds the cost of the business combination, the excess is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

(Amounts expressed in Turkish Lira (TL) unless otherwise stated.)
Changes in the share capital of the Group’s subsidiaries:
Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiaries
are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group’s interests and the non-controlling interests are
adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the
non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and
attributed to owners of the Company.
When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the profit or loss on disposal is calculated as the difference between (i) the
aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the previous carrying
amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling interests. When assets of the
subsidiary are carried at revalued amounts or fair values and the related cumulative gain or loss has been recognised in other
comprehensive income and accumulated in equity, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income and
accumulated in equity are accounted for as if the Company had directly disposed of the relevant assets (i.e. reclassified to
profit or loss or transferred directly to retained earnings as specified by applicable IFRSs).
The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded as the fair value
on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement or, when
applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or a jointly controlled entity.
Associates accounted for under equity method
An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint
venture. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not
control or joint control over those policies.
Results and assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements using
the equity method of accounting, except when the investment is classified as held for sale, in that case they are accounted for
under IFRS 5 “Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations”. Under the equity method, associates are carried
in the consolidated balance sheet at cost as adjusted for post-acquisition changes in the Group’s share of the net assets of the
associate, less any impairment in the value of individual investments. Losses of an associate in excess of the Group’s interest
in that associate (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group’s net investment in the
associate) are not recognized.
Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and
contingent liabilities of the associate recognized at the date of acquisition is recognized as goodwill. Goodwill is included
within the carrying amount of the investment and is assessed for impairment as part of the investment. Any excess of the
Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of acquisition, after
reassessment, is recognized in income statement.
If the Group disposes of some stake in a subsidiary resulting in a lose of significant control, remaining stake is measured at fair
value. Fair value of that stake is deemed as the initially recognized amount according to IAS 39. The difference between the fair
value and the book value is recognized in Income Statement. With the disposal of the subsidiary’s assets and liabilities, The
Group also recognizes all amounts, which it recognized in other comprehensive income regarding that subsidiary, following the
same principles. Hence all amounts recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified in income statement after
removal from the shareholders’ equity.

Joint ventures accounted for under equity method
Results and assets and liabilities of joint ventures are incorporated in the consolidated financial statements using the equity
method of accounting until the disposal of these joint ventures . Under the equity method, associates are carried in the
consolidated balance sheet at cost as adjusted for post-acquisition changes in the Group’s share of the net assets of the joint
venture, less any impairment in the value of individual investments. Losses of a joint venture in excess of the Group’s interest in
that joint venture (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group’s net investment in the joint
venture) are not recognized.
Offsetting
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the consolidated balance sheet when there is a legally
enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realize the asset and
settle the liability simultaneously.
2.2 Changes in the Accounting Policies
Accounting policy changes arising from the first time adoption of the IAS / IFRS, If any stated, are applied retrospectively or
prospectively, in accordance with the adoption standards.
Changes that are not guided by any adoption standard, significant optional policy changes and identified accounting errors are
adjusted retrospectively, adjusting prior period financial statements. The Group has not made any significant changes to its
accounting policies in the current period.
2.3 Changes and Errors in Accounting Estimates
If the changes in the accounting polices are related to one period they are applied in the current year; if they are related with
the future period they are applied both in the current period and future periods. The Group did not have any changes in the
accounting estimates in the current period.
2.4 New and Revised International Financial Reporting Standards
The following new and revised IFRSs have been applied in the current year and have affected the amounts reported and
disclosures in these financial statements. Details of other new and revised IFRSs applied in these financial statements that have
had no material impact on the financial statements are set out in further sections.

Amendments to IAS 1
Presentation of Financial
Statements
The amendments to IAS 1 clarify that an entity may choose to
disclose an analysis of other comprehensive income by item
in the statement of changes in equity or in the notes to the
financial statements. In the current year, for each component
of equity, the Group has chosen to present such an analysis
in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, with a
single-line presentation of other comprehensive income in the
consolidated statement of changes in equity.
IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures
(as revised in 2009)
IAS 24 (as revised in 2009) has been revised on the following
two aspects: (a) IAS 24 (as revised in 2009) has changed the
definition of a related party and (b) IAS 24 (as revised in 2009)
introduces a partial exemption from the disclosure requirements
for government-related entities. The Company and its
subsidiaries are not government-related entities.
(b) Standards and interpretations that are effective in 2011 financial statements, additional changes and interpretations
to the existing standards
The following new and revised IFRSs have also been adopted in these consolidated financial statements by the Group in the
current year. The application of these new and revised IFRSs has not had any material impact on the amounts reported for the
current and prior years but may affect the accounting for future transactions or arrangements.
Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations
As part of Improvements to IFRSs issued in 2010, IFRS 3 was amended to clarify that the measurement choice regarding noncontrolling interests at the date of acquisition is only available in respect of non-controlling interests that are present ownership
interests and that entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the entity’s net assets in the event of liquidation. All other
types of non-controlling interests are measured at their acquisition-date fair value, unless another measurement basis is
required by other Standards. In addition, IFRS 3 was amended to provide more guidance regarding the accounting for sharebased payment awards held by the acquiree’s employees. Specifically, the amendments specify that share-based payment
transactions of the acquiree that are not replaced should be measured in accordance with IFRS 2 Share-based Payment at the
acquisition date (‘market-based measure’).

Amendments to IAS 32
Classification of Rights Issues
The amendments address the classification of certain rights
issues denominated in a foreign currency as either equity
instruments or as financial liabilities. Under the amendments,
rights, options or warrants issued by an entity for the holders
to acquire a fixed number of the entity’s equity instruments
for a fixed amount of any currency are classified as equity
instruments in the financial statements of the entity provided
that the offer is made pro rata to all of its existing owners of the
same class of its non-derivative equity instruments. Before the
amendments to IAS 32, rights, options or warrants to acquire
a fixed number of an entity’s equity instruments for a fixed
amount in foreign currency were classified as derivatives. The
amendments require retrospective application.
The application of the amendments has had no effect on the
amounts reported in the current and prior years because the
Group has not issued instruments of this nature.
Amendments to IFRIC 14 Prepayments of a Minimum
Funding Requirement
IFRIC 14 addresses when refunds or reductions in future
contributions should be regarded as available in accordance
with paragraph 58 of IAS 19; how minimum funding requirements
might affect the availability of reductions in future contributions;
and when minimum funding requirements might give rise to
a liability. The amendments now allow recognition of an asset
in the form of prepaid minimum funding contributions. The
application of the amendments has not had material effect on
the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
IFRIC 19 Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity
Instruments
The Interpretation provides guidance on the accounting for
the extinguishment of a financial liability by the issue of equity
instruments. Specifically, under IFRIC 19, equity instruments
issued under such arrangement will be measured at their fair
value, and any difference between the carrying amount of the
financial liability extinguished and the consideration paid will be
recognized in profit or loss.
The application of IFRIC 19 has had no effect on the amounts
reported in the current and prior years because the Group has
not entered into any transactions of this nature.
Improvements to IFRSs issued in 2010
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
Except for the amendments to IFRS 3 and IAS 1 described
earlier in section (a), and (b), the application of Improvements
to IFRSs issued in 2010 has not had any material effect on

Financial Instruments: Presentation - Offsetting of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
The amendments to IFRS 7 increase the disclosure requirements for transactions involving transfers of financial assets. These
amendments are intended to provide greater transparency around risk exposures when a financial asset is transferred but the
transferor retains some level of continuing exposure in the asset. The amendments also require disclosures where transfers of
financial assets are not evenly distributed throughout the period.
The Group management does not anticipate that these amendments to IFRS 7 will have a significant effect on the Group’s
disclosures. However, if the Group enters into other types of transfers of financial assets in the future, disclosures regarding
those transfers may be affected.
The amendments to IFRS 7 require an entity to disclose information about rights of offset and related agreements for financial
instruments under an enforceable master netting agreement or similar arrangement. The new disclosures are required for
annual or interim periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013.
IFRS 9 issued in November 2009 introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. IFRS
9 amended in October 2010 includes the requirements for the classification and measurement of financial liabilities and for
derecognition.
Key requirements of IFRS 9 are described as follows:
IFRS 9 requires all recognized financial assets that are within the scope of IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and
Measurement to be subsequently measured at amortized cost or fair value. Specifically, debt investments that are held within
a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are
solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generally measured at amortized cost at the end of
subsequent accounting periods. All other debt investments and equity investments are measured at their fair values at the end
of subsequent accounting periods.

to changes in the credit risk of that liability. Specifically, under IFRS 9, for financial liabilities that are designated as at fair value
through profit or loss, the amount of change in the fair value of the financial liability that is attributable to changes in the credit
risk of that liability is presented in other comprehensive income, unless the recognition of the effects of changes in the liability’s
credit risk in other comprehensive income would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss. Changes in fair
value attributable to a financial liability’s credit risk are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss. Previously, under IAS 39,
the entire amount of the change in the fair value of the financial liability designated as at fair value through profit or loss was
presented in profit or loss.
IFRS 9 was amended to defer the mandatory effective date of both the 2009 and 2010 versions of IFRS 9 to annual periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2015. Prior to the amendments, application of IFRS 9 was mandatory for annual periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2013. The amendments continue to permit early application. The amendments modify the
existing comparative transition disclosures in IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors and
IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures. Instead of requiring restatement of comparative financial statements, entities are
either permitted or required to provide modified disclosures on transition from IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and
Measurement to IFRS 9 depending on the entity’s date of adoption and whether the entity chooses to restate prior periods.
The Group management anticipates that IFRS 9 will be adopted in the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the annual
period beginning 1 January 2015 and that the application of IFRS 9 may have significant impact on amounts reported in respect
of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities (e.g. the Group’s investments in redeemable notes that are currently
classified as available-for-sale investments will have to be measured at fair value at the end of subsequent reporting periods,
with changes in the fair value being recognized in profit or loss). However, it is not practicable to provide a reasonable estimate
of that effect until a detailed review has been completed.
In May 2011, a package of five standards on consolidation, joint arrangements, associates and disclosures was issued, including
IFRS 10, IFRS 11, IFRS 12, IAS 27 (as revised in 2011) and IAS 28 (as revised in 2011).
Key requirements of these five standards are described below.
IFRS 10 replaces the parts of IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements that deal with consolidated financial
statements. SIC-12 Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities has been withdrawn upon the issuance of IFRS 10. Under IFRS 10,
there is only one basis for consolidation, which is control. In addition, IFRS 10 includes a new definition of control that contains
three elements: (a) power over an investee, (b) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee,
and (c) the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor’s returns. Extensive guidance has been
added in IFRS 10 to deal with complex scenarios.
IFRS 11 replaces IAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures. IFRS 11 deals with how a joint arrangement of which two or more parties have
joint control should be classified. SIC-13 Jointly Controlled Entities – Non-monetary Contributions by Venturers has been
withdrawn upon the issuance of IFRS 11. Under IFRS 11, joint arrangements are classified as joint operations or joint ventures,
depending on the rights and obligations of the parties to the arrangements. In contrast, under IAS 31, there are three types of
joint arrangements: jointly controlled entities, jointly controlled assets and jointly controlled operations.

In addition, joint ventures under IFRS 11 are required to be accounted for using the equity method of accounting, whereas jointly
controlled entities under IAS 31 can be accounted for using the equity method of accounting or proportionate accounting.
IFRS 12 is a disclosure standard and is applicable to entities that have interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates
and/or unconsolidated structured entities. In general, the disclosure requirements in IFRS 12 are more extensive than those in
the current standards.
These five standards are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. Earlier application is permitted
provided that all of these five standards are applied early at the same time.
The Group management anticipates that these five standards will be adopted in the Group’s consolidated financial statements
for the annual period beginning 1 January 2013. The application of these five standards may have significant impact on amounts
reported in the consolidated financial statements. The application of IFRS 10 may result in the Group no longer consolidating
some of its investees, and consolidating investees that were not previously consolidated. Since the Group does not have jointly
controlled entity that is currently accounted for using proportionate consolidation, the management anticipates that the
application of IFRS 11 will have no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
IFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements.
The Standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosures about fair value
measurements. The scope of IFRS 13 is broad; it applies to both financial instrument items and non-financial instrument items
for which other IFRSs require or permit fair value measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements, except in
specified circumstances. In general, the disclosure requirements in IFRS 13 are more extensive than those required in the
current standards. For example, quantitative and qualitative disclosures based on the three-level fair value hierarchy currently
required for financial instruments only under IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures will be extended by IFRS 13 to cover all
assets and liabilities within its scope.
IFRS 13 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013, with earlier application permitted.
The management anticipates that IFRS 13 will be adopted in the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the annual
period beginning 1 January 2013 and that the application of the new Standard may affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and result in more extensive disclosures in the financial statements.
The amendments to IAS 1 retain the option to present profit or loss and other comprehensive income in either a single
statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. However, the amendments to IAS 1 require additional disclosures
to be made in the other comprehensive income section such that items of other comprehensive income are grouped into
two categories: (a) items that will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss; and (b) items that will be reclassified
subsequently to profit or loss when specific conditions are met. Income tax on items of other comprehensive income is
required to be allocated on the same basis.
The amendments to IAS 1 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2012. The presentation of items of other
comprehensive income will be modified accordingly when the amendments are applied in the future accounting periods.
The amendments to IAS 12 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012. The management anticipate
that the application of the amendments to IAS 12 in future accounting periods may result in adjustments to the amounts of
deferred tax liabilities recognized in prior years regarding the Group’s investment properties of which the carrying amounts are
presumed to be recovered through sale. However, the management has not yet performed a detailed analysis of the impact of
the application of the amendments and hence have not yet quantified the extent of the impact.

The amendments to IAS 19 change the accounting for defined benefit plans and termination benefits. The most significant
change relates to the accounting for changes in defined benefit obligations and plan assets. The amendments require the
recognition of changes in defined benefit obligations and in fair value of plan assets when they occur, and hence eliminate the
‘corridor approach’ permitted under the previous version of IAS 19 and accelerate the recognition of past service costs. The
amendments require all actuarial gains and losses to be recognized immediately through other comprehensive income in order
for the net pension asset or liability recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position to reflect the full value of the
plan deficit or surplus.
The amendments to IAS 19 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013 and require retrospective
application with certain exceptions. The directors anticipate that the amendments to IAS 19 will be adopted in the Group’s
consolidated financial statements for the annual period beginning 1 January 2013 and that the application of the amendments
to IAS 19 may have impact on amounts reported in respect of the Groups’ defined benefit plans. However, the directors have
not yet performed a detailed analysis of the impact of the application of the amendments and hence have not yet quantified
the extent of the impact.
On 19 October 2011 the IASB issued an Interpretation, IFRIC 20 Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine,
clarifying the requirements for accounting for stripping costs in the production phase of a surface mine. The Interpretation
clarifies when production stripping should lead to the recognition of an asset and how that asset should be measured, both
initially and in subsequent periods. The Interpretation is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013 with
earlier application permitted.
The amendments to IAS 32 are intended to clarify existing application issues relating to the offsetting rules and reduce the level
of diversity in current practice. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014.
2.5 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting policies and valuation principles applied in preparation of the accompanying financial statements are as follows:
Revenue
Most of the revenue is generated from sale of biscuit, chocolate, chocolate coated biscuit, wafer and cake.
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is reduced for estimated customer
returns, rebates, and other similar allowances.
Sale of goods
Revenue generated from biscuit, chocolate, chocolate coated biscuit, wafer and cake is recognized when all the following
conditions are satisfied :

of the sale. Sale discount percentages vary depending on the product sold.
Sales returns are granted based on agreements with the third party distributors, sales agents, and chain grocery stores and
recorded as a reduction of revenue in the period of sale.

Dividend and interest revenue
Dividend revenue from investments is recognized when the shareholders’ rights to receive payment have been established (As
long as, It is possible that the revenue to be earned and to be measured fairly).
Interest revenue from financial assets is recognized as long as it is possible that the revenue to be earned and to be measured
fairly. Interest revenue is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate
applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial
asset to that asset’s net carrying amount.
Rent income
Rent income from real estates is accounted by the linear method during the respective rent agreement.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Costs, including an appropriate portion of fixed and variable
overhead expenses, are assigned to inventories held by the method most appropriate to the particular class of inventory,
with the majority being valued on weighted average basis. Net realizable value represents the estimated selling price less all
estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make a sale. When the net realizable value of inventory is less than cost,
the inventory is written down to the net realizable value and the expense is included in statement of income/(loss) in the period
the write-down or loss occurred. When the circumstances that previously caused inventories to be written down below cost no
longer exist or when there is clear evidence of an increase in net realizable value because of changed economic circumstances,
the amount of the write-down is reversed. The reversal amount is limited to the amount of the original write-down. Provision
provided for slow moving inventories is disclosed in note 12.
Tangible Assets
Tangible assets that are acquired before 1 January 2005 are carried at their restated costs adjusted to the effects of inflation as
of 31 December 2004, less any accumulated depreciation and any impairment loss and tangible assets that are acquired after 1
January 2005 are carried at cost of acquisition, less any accumulated depreciation and any impairment loss.
Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets, other than land and construction in progress, over their estimated
useful lives, using the straight line method. Assets held under finance leases are depreciated over their expected useful lives on
the same basis as owned assets, or, when shorter, the term of the relevant lease.
Assets held under finance leases are depreciated over their expected useful lives on the same basis as owned assets or, where
shorter, the term of the relevant lease.
The gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of tangible fixed assets is determined as the difference between
the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss.
Leasing Transactions
Leasing - the Group as lessor
Rental income from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs
incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized on
a straight-line basis over the lease term. Information on operational leases of the Group is disclosed in note 8.
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of
ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

(Amounts expressed in Turkish Lira (TL) unless otherwise stated.)
Assets held under finance leases are initially recognized as assets of the Group at their fair value at the inception of the lease
or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the
statement of financial position as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and
reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance
expenses are recognized immediately in profit or loss, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case
they are capitalized in accordance with the Group’s general policy on borrowing costs.
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.
Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to enter into an operating lease are also spread on a straight-line basis over the
lease term.
Business Combinations
The acquisition of subsidiaries and businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred
in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the
assets transferred by the Group, liabilities incurred by the Group to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests
issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are generally recognized in profit or loss
as incurred.
At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognized at their fair value at the
acquisition date, except that:

arrangements of the Group entered into to replace share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree are measured in
accordance with IFRS 2 Share-based Payment at the acquisition date; and

Discontinued Operations are measured in accordance with that Standard.
Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests
in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the
acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If, after reassessment, the net of the
acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the sum of the consideration
transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held
interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain.
Non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the
entity’s net assets in the event of liquidation may be initially measured either at fair value or at the non-controlling interests’
proportionate share of the recognized amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. The choice of measurement basis
is made on a transaction-by-transaction basis. Other types of non-controlling interests are measured at fair value or, when
applicable, on the basis specified in another IFRS.
When the consideration transferred by the Group in a business combination includes assets or liabilities resulting from a
contingent consideration arrangement, the contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition-date fair value and included
as part of the consideration transferred in a business combination. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration
that qualify as measurement period adjustments are adjusted retrospectively, with corresponding adjustments against goodwill.
Measurement period adjustments are adjustments that arise from additional information obtained during the ‘measurement
period’ (which cannot exceed one year from the acquisition date) about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition
date.

(Amounts expressed in Turkish Lira (TL) unless otherwise stated.)
The subsequent accounting for changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that do not qualify as measurement
period adjustments depends on how the contingent consideration is classified. Contingent consideration that is classified
as equity is not re-measured at subsequent reporting dates and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.
Contingent consideration that is classified as an asset or a liability is re-measured at subsequent reporting dates in accordance
with IAS 39, or IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, as appropriate, with the corresponding gain or loss
being recognized in profit or loss.
When a business combination is achieved in stages, the Group’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is re-measured
to fair value at the acquisition date (i.e. the date when the Group obtains control) and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is
recognized in profit or loss. Amounts arising from interests in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date that have previously
been recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss where such treatment would be appropriate if
that interest were disposed of.
If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination
occurs, the Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts
are adjusted during the measurement period (see above), or additional assets or liabilities are recognized, to reflect new
information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the
amounts recognized at that date.
Group recognizes assets and liabilities that are subject to business combinations involving entities under common control,
at carrying value in the consolidated financial statements. Income statements are consolidated as of the date that business
combinations take place. Prior period financial statements are not restated. Neither goodwill nor income from acquisition is
not realized as a result of these transactions. Positive / negative differences arising after the net-off of investment in associate
against the stake in purchased entity’s share capital, are directly recognized as “ Effect of business combinations under
common control “ in retained earnings.
Business combinations that took place prior to 1 January 2010 were accounted for in accordance with the previous version of
IFRS 3.
Goodwill
Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business is carried at cost as established at the date of acquisition of the business less
accumulated impairment losses, if any.
For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units (or groups of cashgenerating units) that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.
A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is
indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount,
the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other
assets of the unit pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognised
directly in profit or loss in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income statement. An impairment loss recognised for
goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.
On disposal of the relevant cash-generating unit, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the
profit or loss on disposal.
Group’s policy for goodwill arising from purchase of associates is explained under Associates accounted for under equity
method.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets that are acquired before 1 January 2005 are carried at their restated costs adjusted to the effects of inflation
as of 31 December 2004, less any accumulated amortization and any impairment loss and intangible assets that are acquired
after 2005 are carried at cost of acquisition, less any accumulated amortization and any impairment loss. The estimated useful
life and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate
being accounted for on a prospective basis.

(Amounts expressed in Turkish Lira (TL) unless otherwise stated.)
Impairment of Assets
Assets with indefinite useful lives such as goodwill are not amortized. Instead, impairment test is applied each year. If there
are any occurances or cases where it is impossible to recover the carrying amount of assets subject to amortization, the test
of impairment is applied. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds recoverable amount, a provision for impairment loss is
recognized. Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. The assets are separately defined
to evaluate the impairment and are grouped in the least level where there are cash flows (cash generating units). Non-financial
assets other than goodwill that subject to impairment are reviewed for the possibility of reversal of impairment at each reporting
date.
Borrowing Costs
All borrowing costs are recorded in the consolidated comprehensive income statement in the period in which they are incurred.
There has not been any borrowing cost capitalization in accordance with IAS 23 (revised)” Borrowing Costs”.
Financial Instruments
Financial assets
Investments, other than those that are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit and loss, are initially measured
at fair value, net of transaction costs except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss, which are
initially measured at fair value. Investments are recognised and derecognised on a trade date where the purchase or sale of an
investment under a contract whose terms require delivery of the investment within the timeframe established by the market
concerned.
Financial assets are classified into the following specified categories: financial assets as ‘at fair value through profit or loss’
(FVTPL), ‘held-to-maturity investments’, ‘available-for-sale’ (AFS) financial assets and ‘loans and receivables’.
Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and of allocating interest
income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts
through the expected life of the financial asset, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.
Income related to the financial assets except for the financial assets at fair value through profit and loss is calculated by using
the effective interest method.
Financial assets at FVTPL
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified in this
category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short-term. Derivatives are also categorized as held for trading
unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current assets.
Available-for-sale financial assets
Quoted equity investments and quoted certain debt securities held by the Group that are traded in an active market are
classified as being available-for-sale financial assets and are stated at fair value. The Group has investments in unquoted equity
investments that are not traded in an active market but are also classified as available-for-sale financial assets and stated at
fair value. The Group also has investments in unquoted equity investments that are not traded in an active market but are
also classified as available-for-sale financial assets and stated at cost since their value can’t be reliably measured. Gains and
losses arising from changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the investments
revaluation reserve with the exception of impairment losses, interest calculated using the effective interest method, and foreign
exchange gains and losses on monetary assets, which are recognized in profit or loss. Where the investment is disposed of or
the investment is determined to be impaired totally, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in the investments
revaluation reserve account is being reclassified to income statement.

(Amounts expressed in Turkish Lira (TL) unless otherwise stated.)
Dividends on available-for-sale equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when the Company has the right to receive
such dividends. Fair value of available-for-sale monetary assets denominated in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign
currency and translated at the spot rate at the end of the reporting period. Foreign exchange gains and losses recognized in
profit or loss are determined based on the amortized cost of the monetary asset. Other foreign exchange gains and losses are
recognized in other comprehensive income.
Loans and receivables
Trade receivables, loans, and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active
market are classified as ‘loans and receivables’. Loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective
interest method less any impairment.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets, other than those at FVTPL, are assessed at each balance sheet date whether there is any objective evidence
that a financial asset or group of financial assets classified as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or loans and receivables
is impaired. A financial asset or portfolio of financial assets is impaired and an impairment loss incurred if there is objective
evidence that an event or events since initial recognition of the asset have adversely affected the amount or timing of future
cash flows from the asset. For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the amount of the impairment is the difference
between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective
interest rate. The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets except
for trade receivables where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account.
When a trade receivable is uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the
allowance account are recognised in profit or loss.
With the exception of AFS equity instruments, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and
the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised
impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the
impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.
In respect of AFS equity securities, any increase in fair value subsequent to an impairment loss is recognised directly in equity.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits and other short-term highly liquid investments which
have an original maturity of three months or less from date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to a known amount of
cash and are not subject to an significant risk of changes in value.
Financial Liabilities
Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Group are classified according to the substance of the contractual
arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument. An equity instrument is any
contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group after deducting all of its liabilities. The accounting policies
adopted for specific financial liabilities and equity instruments are set out below.
Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities at FVTPL or other financial liabilities.

(Amounts expressed in Turkish Lira (TL) unless otherwise stated.)
Financial liabilities at FVTPL
Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL where the financial liability is either held for trading or it is designated as at FVTPL.
Financial liabilities at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any resultant gain or loss recognised in profit or loss. The net gain or loss
recognised in profit or loss incorporates any interest paid on the financial liability.
Other financial liabilities
Other financial liabilities, including borrowings, are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs. Other financial
liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognised
on an effective yield basis.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest
expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments
through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.
Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting
The Group is exposed to currency and interest rate risks arising from its operations. The Group uses derivative financial
instruments (mainly uses interest swap contracts) to hedge its financial risks associated with specific firm commitments and
interest rate fluctuations of its expected future transactions.
The most important source of the interest rate risk is bank loans. Group’s policy is to turn the floating rate bank loans to fixed
rates. The Group classifies these transactions as financial instruments designated at fair value through profit/loss. Differences
due to the measurement of the fair value of trading derivative instruments are included in the income statement.
Foreign Currency Transactions
The individual financial statements of each Group companies are presented in the currency of the primary economic
environment in which the group operates (its functional currency). For the purpose of the consolidated financial statements,
the results and financial position of each group are expressed in TL, which is the functional currency of the Group, and the
presentation currency for the consolidated financial statements.
In preparing the financial statements of the individual entities, transactions in currencies other than TL (foreign currencies)
are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At each balance sheet date, monetary items
denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items
carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the date when the
fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not
retranslated.
Exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise except for:

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2011
(Amounts expressed in Turkish Lira (TL) unless otherwise stated.)
For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign operations
are expressed in TL using exchange rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at
the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuated significantly during that period, in which case
the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are classified as equity and
transferred to the Group’s translation reserve. Such exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which
the foreign operation is disposed of.
Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share disclosed in the accompanying consolidated statement of income is determined by dividing net income by
the weighted average number of shares in existence during the year concerned.
In Turkey, companies can raise their share capital by distributing “Bonus Shares” to shareholders from retained earnings. In
computing earnings per share, such “bonus share” distributions are assessed as issued shares. Accordingly, the retrospective
effect for those share distributions is taken into consideration in determining the weighted-average number of shares
outstanding used in this computation.
Events After Balance Sheet Date
Subsequent events cover any events which arise between the reporting date and the balance sheet date, even occurred
after any declaration of the net profit for the period or specific financial information publicly disclosed. The Group adjusts its
consolidated financial statements if such subsequent events arise which require to adjust financial statements.
Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets
Provisions
The Group shall recognise a provision only when it has a present obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that the
entity will be required to transfer economic benefits in settlement; and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably
(note 18).
Contingent assets and liabilities
Possible assets or obligations that arise from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or
non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group are not included in the
consolidated financial statements and treated as contingent assets or liabilities.
Related Parties
In the accompanying consolidated financial statements the key management personnel and Board of Directors, close
members of the family of any individual who directly or indirectly controls the Company are considered and referred to as
“Related Parties”. Related parties might enter into transactions in the ordinary course of business.
Government Grants and Incentives
Government grants are not recognized until there is reasonable assurance that the entity will comply with the conditions
attaching to them and the grants will be received.
Government grants are recognized as income over the periods necessary to match them with the related costs, which they are
intended to compensate, on a systematic basis. As financial instruments, Government grants should be included in the balance
sheet as unearned revenues instead of being recognized in profit or loss to offset the related expense items and should be
recognized in respective profit or loss account systematically during the economic lives of the related assets.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2011
(Amounts expressed in Turkish Lira (TL) unless otherwise stated.)
Government grants given to compensate previously occured expenses or losses or to provide immediate financing to the
Group in the future without any cost are recognized in profit or loss when they become collectible.
Benefit of the loan in a lower than market interest rate from the government is considered as government incentive. Benefit
created by low interest rate is measured by the difference between initial book value of the loan and the obtained benefits. The
Group is exempt from the stamp tax and duties attributed to the export transactions and other profitable foreign exchange
operations to the extent of the procedures and basis determined by the Ministry of Finance and Undersecretariat of Foreign
Trade.
The government grants are paid to support the participation of attending fairs abroad according to the decision dated 16
December 2004 and numbered 2004/11 of Money Credit and Coordination Committee which was prepared on the basis of
“Decisions of Export-oriented Government Grants”.
Based on the Monetary Credit Coordination Board’s resolution dated 20/6, the Group also receives tax refunds for the export of
its agricultural products in accordance with the Communiqué No: 2000/5 on ‘Export Refunds for Agricultural Products’.
The Group has utilized grants given under the “Law No. 5084 Governing the Changes Made to Certain Laws Regarding
Investment and Employment Grants”issued on 6 February 2004 at the Official Gazette Numbered 25365, allowing for various
tax and insurance premium grants, and energy supports and free of charge lands for investments to increase investment and
employment at certain cities.
Taxation and Deferred Income Taxes
Turkish tax legislation does not permit a parent company and its subsidiary to file a consolidated tax return. Therefore,
provisions for taxes, as reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, have been calculated on a separateentity basis. Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
Current Tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the
comprehensive income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other
years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using
tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is recognized on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and
the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability
method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are
recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against
which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary
difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and
liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and
associates, and interests in joint ventures, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference
and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from
deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognised to the extent that it is
probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they
are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2011
(Amounts expressed in Turkish Lira (TL) unless otherwise stated.)
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer
probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is
settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance
sheet date. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the
manner in which the Group expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Current and Deferred Tax
Current and deferred tax are recognised as an expense or income in profit or loss, except when they relate to items credited
or debited directly to equity, in which case the tax is also recognised directly in equity, or where they arise from the initial
accounting for a business combination. In the case of a business combination, the tax effect is taken into account in calculating
goodwill or determining the excess of the acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities
and contingent liabilities over cost.
Employee Benefits / Retirement Pay Provision
Benefits such as bonus, allowance for heating, marriage allowance, leave of absence, religious holidays, education incentive,
birth and death allowance are provided to the Group employees. Moreover, under the Turkish law and union agreements, lump
sum payments are made to employees retiring or involuntarily leaving the Group. Such payments are considered as being part
of defined retirement benefit plan as per IAS 19 (revised): “Employee Benefits.” The provision has been calculated by estimating
the present value of the future probable obligation of the Group arising from the retirement of employees. The principal
assumption is that the maximum liability for each year of service will increase parallel with inflation.
Thus, the discount rate applied represents the expected real rate after adjusting for the anticipated effects of future inflation.
The retirement benefit obligation recognised in the balance sheet represents the net present value of the total due to
retirement of all employees. Recognised actuarial gains and losses are presented in the income statement.
Cash Flow Statement
In statement of cash flow, cash flows are classified according to operating, investment and finance activities.
Cash flows from operating activities reflect cash flows generated from the manufacturing and marketing of biscuit, chocolate,
chocolate coated biscuit, wafer and cake.
Cash flows from investment activities express cash used in investment activities (direct investments and financial investments)
and cash flows generated from investment activities of the Group.
Cash flows relating to finance activities express sources of financial activities and payment schedules of the Group.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments which
their maturities are three months or less from date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash
and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Capital and Dividends
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Dividends distributed over the ordinary shares are classified as dividend liability after
deducting retained earnings at the period in which the dividend distribution decision is made.
2.6 Critical Accounting Judgments and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainity
Group’s Critical Accounting Judgments
In applying the entity’s accounting policies, which are described in note 2.5, management has made the following judgments
that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements.
Useful life of property, plant and equipment
Group has calculated the depreciation amounts regarding the useful lives specified in note 14.
Impairment of inventories
In the current year, a provision has been provided for inventories that are not expected to be used and for slow moving
inventories. In the current year the Group has also provided provision for inventories with net realizable values lower than costs.
Based on the analysis, TL 2.929.611 impairment provision has been provided for inventories (2010: TL 1.324.655).
Doubtful receivables provision
In the current year, a provision has been provided for receivables that are not expected to be collectible and those that have not
been collected for long time. As of 31 December 2011, a provision for TL 4.164.191 of the trade receivables has been provided for
as doubtful receivable provision (2010: TL 2.884.056).
Impairment of goodwill
In the current period, impairment of goodwill is measured by using the discounted cash flow method and accordingly no
impairment is recognized.
Impairment of associates
Under the equity method, associates are carried in the consolidated balance sheet at cost as adjusted for post-acquisition
changes in the Group’s share of the net assets of the associate, less any impairment in the value of individual investments. In
the discounted cash flow calculation during the year 2010, the rate of 8% is used as USD basis discount rate and the rate of 3% is
used in the growth rate of carrying amount.The latest discounted cash flow analysis was conducted in 2010. The Group does not
have any investments accounted for under the equity method as of December 31, 2011.
Impairment of Available-for-sale financial assets
Quoted equity investments and quoted certain debt securities held by the Group that are traded in an active market are
classified as being available- for-sale financial assets and are stated at fair value. The Group also has investments in unquoted
equity investments that are not traded in an active market but are also classified as available-for-sale and stated at cost since
their value cannot be reliably measured.
Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated for
in the investments revaluation reserve with the exception of impairment losses, interest calculated using the effective
interest method, and foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary assets, which are recognized in profit or loss. Where
the investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in the
investments revaluation reserve is reclassified to income statement.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2011
(Amounts expressed in Turkish Lira (TL) unless otherwise stated.)
Dividends on available-for-sale equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when the Group’s right to receive the
dividends is established.
The fair value of available-for-sale monetary assets denominated in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign currency
and translated at the spot rate at the end of the reporting period. The foreign exchange gains and losses that are recognized in
profit or loss are determined based on the amortised cost of the monetary asset. Other foreign exchange gains and losses are
recognized in other comprehensive income.
Deferred taxes
The Group recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based upon temporary differences arising between the financial
statements as reported for IFRS purposes and financial statements prepared in accordance with the tax legislation. These
differences arise from the differences in accounting periods for the recognition of income and expenses in accordance
with IFRS and tax legislation. Group has deferred tax assets resulting from tax loss carry-forwards and deductible temporary
differences, all of which could reduce taxable income in the future.
Fully or partial recoverability of tax assets are estimated based on available current evidences. The main factors which are
considered include future earnings potential; cumulative losses in recent years; expiration dates of both loss carry-forwards and
other tax assets; the carry-forward period associated with the deferred tax assets; future reversals of existing taxable temporary
differences; tax-planning strategies that would, if necessary, be implemented, and the nature of the income that can be used
to realize the deferred tax asset. As a result of the assessment made, the Group has recognized deferred tax assets in certain
entities because it is probable that taxable profit will be available sufficient to recognize deferred tax assets in those entities.
Fair values of derivative instruments and other financial instruments
The Group determines the fair values of its financial instruments without an active market using various market information for
similar transactions, similar instruments with fair values and discounted cash flow analysis.
Critical Decisions
The sales and purchases of subsidiary/joint ventures to the Group firms which are not consolidated to the Group
are considered as transactions under common control and recognized in the shareholders’ equity.
Fair Values of Available for Sale Financial Assets
Godiva’s and G New, Inc’s total firm value consists of the values coming from United States of America (“USA”) and the other
countries (Canada, Europe, Japan and Asia-Pacific). Expected time frame which constitutes a basis for the discounted cash
flow analysis is between 2012 and 2015. At the end of the expected time frame, it is anticipated that the net profits generated
by Godiva and cash flows related to these profits would persist continually. It is projected that the operations will head into the
maturity level from 2015 onwards and grow with a terminal growth rate (3%).
Godiva’s and G New, Inc ‘s distributable cash flows net of obligations were discounted at 7,5% WACC for USA and 8,8% WACC for
the other countries. It is projected that the changes in the net working capital net of obligations during the expected time frame
would equal to 5% of the annual changes in the expected amount of sales.

Retirement pay provision
Under Turkish Labor Law, the Company is required to pay employment termination benefits to each entitled employee.
Also, employees are entitled to be paid their retirement pay provisions who retired by gaining right to receive retirement pay
provisions according to of the prevailing 506 numbered Social Insurance Law’s Article 60, as amended by 6 March 1981 dated,
2422 numbered and 25 August 1999 dated, 4447 numbered laws. Some transition provisions related to the pre-retirement
service term was excluded from the law since the related law was changed as of 23 May 2002. The amount payable consists of
one month’s salary limited to a maximum of TL 2.731,85 for each period of service as of 31 December 2011 (31 December 2010:
TL 2.517,01).
The liability is not funded, as there is no funding requirement. The provision has been calculated by estimating the present value
of the future probable obligation of the Group arising from the retirement of employees. IAS 19 requires actuarial valuation
methods to be developed to estimate the entity’s obligation under defined benefit plans. Accordingly, the following actuarial
assumptions were used in the calculation of the total liability:
The principal assumption is that the maximum liability for each year of service will increase parallel with inflation. Thus,
the discount rate applied represents the expected real rate after adjusting for the anticipated effects of future inflation.
Consequently, in the accompanying financial statements as at 31 December 2011, the provision has been calculated by
estimating the present value of the future probable obligation of the Group arising from the retirement of the employees. The
provisions at the respective balance sheet dates have been calculated assuming an annual inflation rate of 5,10% and a discount
rate of 10%, resulting in a real discount rate of approximately 4,65% (31 December 2010: 4,66%). The maximum liability is revised
semi annually. The basis considered in calculating the provisions is the amount of maximum liability of TL 2.805,04 which
became effective as of 1 January 2012. As of 2011 year end, the probability of resignation of employees is 4,2% (2010: 3,2%).

b) Restricted Reserves Appropriated from Profit
Restricted reserves appropriated from profit are composed of legal reserves.
Legal reserves comprise of first and second legal reserves, appropriated in accordance with the Turkish Commercial Code. The
first legal reserve is appropriated out of historical statutory profits at the rate of 5% per annum, until the total reserve reaches
20% of the historical paid-in share capital. The second legal reserve is appropriated after the first legal reserve and dividends,
at the rate of 5% per annum of all cash dividend distributions. According to the Turkish Commercial Code, legal reserves can
be only used to offset losses unless they exceed the 50% of paid-in capital. Other than that, legal reserves must not be used
whatsoever.
In accordance with the CMB’s requirements which were effective until 1 January 2008, the amount generated from the firsttime application of inflation adjustments on financial statements, and followed under the “accumulated loss” item was taken
into consideration as a reduction in the calculation of profit distribution based on the inflation adjusted financial statements
within the scope of the CMB’s regulation issued on profit distribution. The related amount that was followed under the
“accumulated loss” item could also be offset against the profit for the period (if any) and undistributed retained earnings and
the remaining loss amount could be offset against capital reserves arising from the restatement of extraordinary reserves, legal
reserves and equity items, respectively.
In addition, in accordance with the CMB’s requirements which were effective until 1 January 2008, at the first-time application
of inflation adjustments on financial statements, equity items, namely “Capital issue premiums”, “Legal reserves”, “Statutory
reserves”, “Special reserves” and “Extraordinary reserves” were carried at nominal value in the balance sheet and restatement
differences of such items were presented in equity under the “Shareholders’ equity inflation restatement differences” line item
in aggregate. “Shareholders’ equity inflation restatement differences” related to all equity items could only be subject to the
capital increase by bonus issue or loss deduction, while the carrying value of extraordinary reserves could be subject to the
capital increase by bonus issue; cash profit distribution or loss deduction.
However, in accordance with the CMB’s Decree Volume: XI; No: 29 issued on 1 January 2008 and other related CMB’s
announcements, “Paid-in capital”, “Restricted reserves” and “Premium in excess of par” should be carried at their registered
amounts in statutory records. Restatement differences (e.g. inflation restatement differences) arising from the application of
the Decree should be associated with:
- “Capital restatement differences” account, following the “Paid-in capital” line item in the financial statements, if such
differences are arising from “Paid-in Capital” and not added to capital;
- “Retained earnings/Accumulated loss”, if such differences are arising from “Restricted reserves” and “Premium in excess of
par” and has not been subject to profit distribution or capital increase.
Other equity items are carried at the amounts valued according to the CMB’s Financial Reporting Standards.
Capital restatement differences can only be included in capital.
Profit Distribution:
Publicly listed companies distribute dividends in accordance with the requirements of CMB as explained below: In accordance
with the Capital Markets Board’s (the “Board”) Decree issued on 27 January 2010, in relation to the profit distribution of earnings
derived from the operations in 2009, minimum profit distribution is not required for listed companies (December 31, 2008:
20%), and accordingly, profit distribution should be made based on the requirements set out in the Board’s Communiqué
Serial:IV, No: 27 “Principles of Dividend Advance Distribution of Companies That Are Subject To The CMB Regulations”, terms of
articles of corporations and profit distribution policies publicly disclosed by the companies.
Furthermore, based on the afore-mentioned decree, companies that are required to prepare consolidated financial statements
should calculate their net distributable profits, to the extent that they can be recovered from equity in their statutory records,
by considering the net profit for the period in the consolidated financial statements which are prepared and disclosed in
accordance with the Communiqué Serial: XI, No: 29.

statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. These differences is specified below.

tax positions of the firms with deferred tax assets is netted against those with deferred tax liabilities and reflected on a separateentity basis.

investment incentives utilized.
The effective tax rate in 31 December 2011 is 20% (31 December 2010: 20%).

(Amounts expressed in Turkish Lira (TL) unless otherwise stated.)
In Turkey, advance tax returns are filed on a quarterly basis. The advance corporate income tax rate is 20% in 2011 (31 December
2010: 20%).
Losses are allowed to be carried 5 years maximum to be deducted from the taxable profit of the following years. However,
losses incurred cannot be deducted from the prior years’ profit retroactively.
In Turkey, there is no procedure for a final and definitive agreement on tax assessments. Companies file their tax returns
between 1-25 April following the close of the accounting year to which they relate. The companies with special accounting
periods, file their tax returns between 1st-25th of fourth month after fiscal year end. Tax authorities may, however, examine such
returns and the underlying accounting records and may revise assessments within five years.
Income witholding tax
In addition to corporate taxes, companies should also calculate income withholding taxes and funds surcharge on any
dividends distributed, except for resident companies in Turkey which include this dividend income in their taxable profit for the
related period and Turkish branches of foreign companies. The rate of income withholding tax is 10% starting from 24 April 2003.
This rate was changed to 15% with the resolution of council of ministers on 23 July 2006. Undistributed dividends incorporated
in share capital are not subject to income withholding taxes.
Since the Group did not assume any investment incentives, it has used 20% corporate tax rate.
Provision for taxation as of 31 December 2011 and 2010 are as follows:
Current year corporate tax provision
Prepaid taxes and funds
Taxation in the balance sheet
Current year tax provision
Deferred tax (loss) / income

risk is defined as credit risk. Group’s credit risk is basically related to its trade receivables.The balance shown in the balance
sheet is the net amount that is obtained when doubtful receivables are written off according to the Group management’s
previous experiences and current economic conditions. Group’s non-trade receivables from related parties are mostly due to
Yıldız Holding.

(b) -3.2 Interest risk management
Financial liabilities based on fixed and floating interest rates expose the Company to interest rate risk. The related risk is
controlled by interest rate swap agreements and floating interest rate agreements by balancing the fixed and floating intrest rate
borrowings. Risk strategies are reviewed periodically considering the interest rate expectations and predetermined interest risks;
which aims to establish optimum interest risk management regarding the balance sheet position and the interest expenses.

(Amounts expressed in Turkish Lira (TL) unless otherwise stated.)
Interest rate swaps
The notional amount of the interest rate swap contract the Group entered into as of 31 December 2011 is USD 93 Million. The
swap including the term beginning September 15, 2008, through March 13, 2013 fixed the interest rate for 2,48%.
Interest rate sensitivity
Sensitivity analysis is determined based on the interest rate risk that the non-derivative instruments exposed to on the
balance sheet date and is kept fixed during the reporting period. The Company management expects a fluctuation of 1% in
Euribor interest rates. 1% increase or decrease is used in reporting the interest rate risk to the key management personnel and
represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.
On the reporting date if Euribor/Libor interest rates had been 1% higher/lower and all other variables were held constant:
Net income of the Company would have been decreased by TL 2.339.997 (31 December 2010 net profit would have been
decreased by TL 3.351.127). This is mainly attributable to the Group’s exposure to interest rates on its variable rate borrowings.
The Group’s net profit after interest rate swap for the current period would have been decreased by TL 2.309.539 (2010: TL
3.288.249). In case of 1% decrease in Euribor interest rate, the net profit of the company for the current period would have
increased with the same rate. Net income of the Company would have increased by some amount, if Euribor interest rates had
been 1% lower.
The financial instruments that are sensitive to interest rate are as follows:
