3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements are set forth below:

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are carried in the balance sheet at cost. Cash and cash equivalents include all short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and near to maturity that they present an insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates.

Trade receivables and allowance for doubtful receivables

Trade receivables and notes receivable are recognized at original invoice amount and discounted to present value less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful debts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off when identified. In case the provision decreases as a result of an event that occurs after write off, the amount is reflected on the income statement in the current period.

Based on an evaluation of its trade portfolio such as volume, character of outstanding loans, past loan experience and general economic conditions management provides a general reserve that it believes is adequate to cover possible losses and uncollectible amounts in the Group’s receivables, in addition to specific reserves provided for receivables in legal follow- up.

Related parties

For the purpose of the accompanying financial statements, key personnel in management and board of directors, their family and controlled or dependent companies, participations and subsidiaries of the Group are referred to as related parties (Appendix 1).

Trade payables

Trade payables are stated at their nominal value, discounted to present value as appropriate.

Inventory

Inventory (including raw materials) are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is calculated using the average method. Net realizable value represents the estimated selling price less all estimated costs to completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.

Property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and related depreciation and amortization

Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided on straight line basis. Repair and maintenance expenditure related to property, plant and equipment is expensed as incurred. The depreciation and amortization periods for property, plant, equipment and intangible assets which approximate the economic useful lives of such assets, are as follows:

Year Buildings 10-50 Machinery and equipment (*) 10-40 Furniture, fixtures and office equipment 5-15 Motor vehicles 5-8 Intangible assets 2-49 (*) The depreciation periods for power plants according to their types are as follows;

Year Wind Electricity Powerhouse 20 Natural Gas Power Plants 20 Fuel Oil Power Plants 15 Hydroelectric Power Plants 40

Financial liabilities

Interest bearing bank loans are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Finance charges are accounted for on an accrual basis and shown in other liabilities and expense accruals to the extent they are not settled in the period in which they arise.

Aksa Enerji Üretim A.Ş. has an export credit premium payable in connection with its long term loans used to finance the wind electricity, natural gas and other energy plants. In statutory financial statements, the Company recorded these both at assets (Other current and noncurrent assets - Note 8) and liabilities (Financial liabilities- Note 12) until the time of payment. As of 31 December 2012, TL 42.659.093 (USD 16.174.271, EURO 5.879.508) and 31 December 2011, TL 47.138.486 (TL 104.874, USD 16.441.785 and EURO 6.537.258) of export credit premium is netted off from assets and liabilities.

Rasa Enerji Üretim A.Ş. has an export credit premium payable in connection with its long term loans used to finance the wind electricity plant. In statutory financial statements, the Company recorded these both at assets (Other current and noncurrent assets - Note 8) and liabilities (Financial liabilities - Note 12) until the time of payment.

Impairment of assets

Assets that have indefinite useful lives, for example goodwill, are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell or value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

Taxation and deferred income taxes

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

Current tax: The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the 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 provided, using the liability method, on all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Employee benefits/retirement pay provision

Under the Turkish Labor Law and union agreements, employee termination 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 International Accounting Standard No: 19 (revised) “Employee Benefits” (“IAS 19”). The retirement benefit obligation recognized in the balance sheet represents the present value of the defined benefit obligation as adjusted for unrecognized actuarial gains and losses.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses are recognized in profit or loss upon utilization of the service or at the date of their origin. Expenditure for warranties is recognized and charged against the associated provision when the related revenue is recognized.

Revenue recognition

Revenue involves the goods and service sales invoiced value. Revenues are recognized on an accrual basis at the time deliveries of goods and services or acceptances are made, the transfer of risks and benefits related to good are realized, the amount of revenue can be measured reliably and it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group, at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. The significant risks and benefits in sales are transferred when the goods are delivered or legal proprietorship is transferred to the customer. Interest income and expenses are recognized in the income statement on an accrual basis. Net sales represent the invoiced value of goods shipped less sales returns and commission and excluding sales taxes.

Research and development costs

Research expenditure is recognized as an expense as incurred. Costs incurred on development projects (relating to the design and testing of new or improved power plant equipments) are recognized as intangible assets to the extent that such expenditure is expected to generate future economic benefits. Development costs that have been capitalized are amortized over five years.

Segment reporting

In identifying its operating segments, management generally follows the Group’s service lines, which represent the main services provided by the Group. All the Group’s power plants (except 120 MW power plant in Northern Cyprus) and wind electricity powerhouses are located in Turkey (notes 19-20).

Offsetting

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Foreign currency transactions and translation

Transactions in foreign currencies during the periods have been translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of these transactions. Balance sheet items denominated in foreign currencies have been translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet dates. The foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in the income statement.

The year end rates used for USD, EURO, CHF, GBP and JPY are shown below:

Currency 31.12.2012 31.12.2011 USD 1,7826 1,8889 EURO 2,3517 2,4438 CHF 1,9430 2,0062 GBP 2,8708 2,9170 JPY 0,0207 0,0243

Provisions

A provision is recognized when, and only when an enterprise has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event and it is probable (i.e. more likely than not) that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.

Commitments and contingencies

Transactions that may give rise to contingencies and commitments are those where the outcome and the performance of which will be ultimately confirmed only on the occurrence or non occurrence of certain future events, unless the expected performance is not very likely. Accordingly, contingent losses are recognized in the financial statements if a reasonable estimate of the amount of the resulting loss can be made. Contingent gains are reflected only if it is probable that the gain will be realized.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. These estimates are reviewed periodically, and as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the periods in which they become known.

Significant management judgment in applying accounting policies

The following are significant management judgments in applying the accounting policies of the Group that have the most significant effect on the financial statements:

Impairment: An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. To determine the recoverable amount, management makes assumptions about future events and circumstances.

Provisions: The Group is currently defending certain lawsuits where the actual outcome may vary from the amount recognized in the financial statements. None of the provisions will be discussed here in further detail so as not to seriously prejudice the Group’s position in the related disputes.

EBITDA

EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization. This information should be read with the statements of cash flows contained in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

14. TAXATION PAYABLE ON INCOME

The corporation tax rate in Turkey on the profits for the calendar year 2012 is 20% (2011: 20%). Taxable profits are calculated by modifying accounting income for certain exclusions and allowances for tax purposes from the profit disclosed in the statutory income. No other taxes are paid unless profits are distributed. In Turkey, no taxes are withheld from undistributed profits, profits added to share capital (bonus shares) and dividends paid to other resident companies. Other than those, profits distributed in dividends to individuals and non-resident companies are subject to withholding at the rate of 15%.

The Turkish Tax Procedural Law does not include a procedure for formally agreeing tax assessments. Tax returns must be filed within three and a half months of the year-end and may be subject to investigation, together with their underlying accounting records, by the tax authorities at any stage during the following five years.

27. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

a) The public disclosure made by the Company in Istanbul Stock Exchange (ISE) on 06.04.2012 concerning the negotiations for the loan use from Goldman Sachs, foreign-based financial institution, carried out by one of the Group’s related parties and shareholders Kazancı Holding A.Ş. are as follows:

On July 25, 2011, July 26, 2011, August 5, 2011 and 27 October 2011, we made certain disclosures to the public regarding a loan made to us of USD 192 million with a 1 year, 1 week term (“Bridge Facility”) and a proposed transaction with Goldman Sachs (“Proposed Transaction”).

During the course of discussions between the parties regarding the structure of the Proposed Transaction, a number of changes to the terms disclosed to the public on October 27, 2011 have been agreed and several agreements have today been signed by the relevant parties which will facilitate the

following transaction (the “Transaction”):

Goldman Sachs, Türkiye İş Bankası A.Ş. and Türkiye Garanti Bankası A.Ş. have arranged USD 400 million syndicated secured loan to Kazancı Holdings (the “New Loan Facility”). The New Loan Facility will provide additional financing and will also be used to repay the bridge facility (in part on initial utilization with the balance on final maturity of the bridge facility). In consideration for arranging the Transaction, Goldman Sachs will receive (i) a right to the equity upside on 13,30% of shares in Aksa Enerji at any time before the sixth anniversary of the date of utilization of the New Loan Facility, and (ii) downside protection, through a cash collateralized repurchase obligation of Kazancı Holdings at Goldman Sachs’ initial purchase price, on any shares in Aksa Enerji purchased by Goldman Sachs.

Further information about the Transaction is summarized below:

1. Simultaneously with the execution of the New Loan Facility, the board of directors of Aksa Enerji will initiate a process of capital increase through private placement under registered capital system by restricting the pre-emptive rights of current shareholders. Goldman Sachs has committed to subscribe for 35.669.118 shares with a nominal value of TL 1.00 each corresponding to circa 5,82% of the total issued share capital of Aksa Enerji (post money) for a total price of USD 105 million (to be converted into TL at an exchange rate determined by the parties). Aksa Enerji will adopt the necessary board resolutions and make the necessary approval applications to the Capital Markets Board of Turkey, Energy Market Regulatory Authority and other authorities for the registration of the shares that are subject to this capital increase.

2. In parallel to such private placement, Goldman Sachs has committed to purchase from us existing B-type Aksa Enerji shares representing circa 7,48% (post money) of the total issued share capital of Aksa Enerji for a total price of USD 135 million.

3. After the successful completion of the capital increase through private placement and share transfer, Goldman Sachs will, subject to the downside protection provided by Kazancı Holdings, own approximately 13,30% (post money) of the total issued share capital of Aksa Enerji. The total price to be paid by Goldman Sachs for those shares (“GS Shares”) will be USD 240 million which equates to a market price per share which will be different to the then exchange traded price.

4. Goldman Sachs will have the right to sell some or all of the GS Shares at any time before the sixth anniversary of the Transaction. Kazancı Holdings will retain voting rights over the GS Shares until such time as Goldman Sachs elects to sell the GS Shares to a third party. If Goldman Sachs sells the GS Shares to a third party prior to the maturity of the Transaction, it will repay to Kazancı Holdings a corresponding amount of the cash collateral initially posted to Goldman Sachs together with cash paid interest until such date under the loan and there will be a corresponding pay down of the New Loan Facility.

5. The New Loan Facility will be used, among other things, for general corporate purposes and to repay the bridge facility. It will have a 6 year tenor with a 3 years’ grace period and will be secured over 65,54% shares of Aksa Enerji. Upon completion of the equity purchase by Goldman Sachs described above, the GS Shares will be pledged as security for the New Loan Facility and a corresponding number of shares secured under the bridge facility will be released. Consequently, 52,24% of the Aksa Enerji shares pledged under the New Loan Facility will be provided by Kazancı Holdings and 13,30% will be GS Shares. The lenders will have no recourse to Goldman Sachs other than in respect of the GS Shares.

6. On the closing date of the New Loan Facility, Goldman Sachs will acquire the right to receive equity upside on Aksa Enerji shares through a call option granted by Kazancı Holdings to Goldman Sachs over 14,12% of the shares. The call option will terminate after the successful completion of the capital increase through the private placement and share transfer transactions (such that Goldman Sachs retains equity upside). Up until the six year anniversary of the Transaction, if there is equity upside, a portion of this upside will be shared by Goldman Sachs with syndicate members.

7. On the six year anniversary of the Transaction, Goldman Sachs will sell the remaining GS Shares back to Kazancı Holdings at a price per share equal to the initial purchase price. In order to secure this repurchase obligation of Kazancı Holdings, and in consideration for Goldman Sachs providing security over GS Shares, Kazancı Holdings will deliver cash collateral to Goldman Sachs in an amount equal to the total price of the Aksa Enerji shares acquired by Goldman Sachs.

As of 26.02.2013, the statement made with GS and Kazancı Holding agreed to increase “new loan” from USD 400 million to USD 500 million and GS will purchase 3,32% of Aksa Enerji’s capital through sale of partner for the USD 60 million from Kazancı Holding. Following the completion of this transaction, GS’s share on Aksa Enerji will increase from 13,30% to 16,62%. b) The ISE material disclosure made by the Company on 09.11.2012:
