CONVENIENCE TRANSLATION INTO ENGLISH OF INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT ORIGINALLY ISSUED IN TURKISH

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the General Assembly of Adel Kalemcilik Ticaret ve Sanayi A.Ş.

A. Audit of the financial statements

1. Our opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Adel Kalemcilik Ticaret ve Sanayi A.Ş. (the "Company") which comprise the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2024, the statement of profit or loss, the statement of other comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flows for the year then ended and notes to the financial statements comprising a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2024, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Turkish Financial Reporting Standards ("TFRS").

2. Basis for opinion

Our audit was conducted in accordance with the Standards on Independent Auditing (the "SIA") that are part of Turkish Standards on Auditing adopted within the framework of the regulations of the Capital Markets Board and issued by the Public Oversight Accounting and Auditing Standards Authority (the "POA"). Our responsibilities under these standards are further described in the "Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements" section of our report. We hereby declare that we are independent of the Company in accordance with the Ethical Rules for Independent Auditors (including Independence Standards) (the "Ethical Rules") the ethical requirements regarding independent audit in regulations issued by the POA; the regulations of the Capital Markets Board; and other relevant legislation are relevant to our audit of the financial statements. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Ethical Rules and regulations. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained during the independent audit provides a sufficient and appropriate basis for our opinion.

3. Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. Key audit matters were addressed in the context of our independent audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key Audit Matters How the key audit matter was addressed in
the audit
Revenue recognition
Revenue TL 2.711.979
Thousand has been
recognized in the statement of profit or loss and
other comprehensive income for the accounting
period 1 January-31 December 2024.
Revenue is recognized in the financial statements
when the Company fulfils its perfomance
obligation by transferring control of the promised
products to its customers.Since sales contracts are
complex, the recognition of revenue in the relevant
period depends on the correct evaluation of the
sales conditions specific to each situation. For this
reason, there is a risk that the revenue will not be
recognized in the correct period or amount for the
products whose production is completed and
delivered, or for those whose invoices have not yet
been issued to the customer.
Revenue is one of the most significant indicators
in the performance evaluation of the Company.
Revenue has been selected as a key audit matter
because it is of great importance in terms of
evaluating the results of the strategies
implemented during the year and monitoring
performance and it has significant, decisive impact
on more than one financial statement item.
Disclosures regarding the Company's revenue
related accounting policies and amounts are
included in Notes 2.2.1 of the attached financial
statements.
The following audit procedures have been applied
for the recognition of revenue:
-
Testing the design and implementation of
internal controls on revenue recognition by
understanding the Company's revenue
process,
-
Evaluating whether the accounting policies
applied by the Company management for
recording revenue are in terms of TFRS,
-
Testing the transactions recorded as revenue
during the period by sampling method by
comparing them with invoices, supporting
documents and collections from customers,
-
Testing the balances of trade receivables using
the sampling method by sending confirmation
letters,
-
Testing whether the sales returns realized
after the reporting period are included in the
financial statements in the relevant period,
-
Testing the revenue items belong to period
ending and the beginning of the following
period with the sampling method regarding
the cut-off of the revenue,
-
Evaluating the accuracy and adequacy of the
revenue related disclosures included in
footnotes financial statements in terms of
TFRS.

4. Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the financial statements

The Company management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with TFRS, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

5. Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Responsibilities of independent auditors in an independent audit are as follows:

Our aim is to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an independent auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance expressed as a result of an independent audit conducted in accordance with SIA is a high level of assurance but does not guarantee that a material misstatement will always be detected. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. Misstatements are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an independent audit conducted in accordance with SIA, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  • Assess the internal control relevant to the audit 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 Company's internal control.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our independent auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence. We also communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

B. Other responsibilities arising from regulatory requirements

    1. No matter has come to our attention that is significant according to subparagraph 4 of Article 402 of Turkish Commercial Code ("TCC") No. 6102 and that causes us to believe that the Adel Kalemcilik Ticaret ve Sanayi A.Ş.'s bookkeeping activities concerning the period from 1 January to 31 December 2024 period are not in compliance with the TCC and provisions of the Company's articles of association related to financial reporting.
    1. In accordance with subparagraph 4 of Article 402 of the TCC, the Board of Directors submitted the necessary explanations to us and provided the documents required within the context of our audit.
    1. In accordance with subparagraph 4 of Article 398 of the TCC, the auditor's report on the early risk identification system and committee was submitted to the Company's Board of Directors on 3 March 2025.

  • Monetary assets and liabilities are not adjusted as they are currently expressed with current purchasing power at the balance sheet date. In cases where the inflation-adjusted values of nonmonetary items exceed the recoverable amount or net realizable value, the provisions of TAS 36 and TAS 2 were applied, respectively.
  • Non-monetary assets and liabilities and equity items that are not expressed in current purchasing power at the balance sheet date have been corrected using the relevant correction coefficients.
  • All items included in the comprehensive income statement, except those that affect the statement of comprehensive income of non-monetary items in the balance sheet, are indexed with coefficients calculated over the periods when the income and expense accounts are first reflected in the financial statements.
  • The effect of inflation on the Company's net monetary asset position in the current period is recorded in the net monetary gain / loss account in the income statement.

2.1.4 Shares in affiliates and joint ventures

A partnership is a joint venture in which entities with joint control in an arrangement have rights to the equity in the joint arrangement. Joint control is based on the control contract on an economic activity.

This control is deemed to exist when the decisions of the relevant activities require the parties sharing the control to agree with the unanimity of votes.

The results and assets and liabilities of associates or joint ventures are incorporated in these financial statements using the equity accounting method, except when the investment, or a portion thereof, is classified as held for sales, in which case it is accounted for in accordance with TFRS 5. Under the equity method, an investment in associate or a joint venture is initially recognized in the financial statement of financial position at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Company's share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate or a joint venture.

When the Company's whare of losses of an associate or a joint venture exceeds the Company's interest in that associate or a joint venture (which includes any long term interests that, in substance, form part of the Company's net investment in the associate or a joint venture), the company discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. Additional losses are recognized only to the extent that the Company has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate or a joint venture.

2.2. Significant accounting policies

A summary of the accounting policies applied during the preparation of the financial statements is as follows:

2.2.1 Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when, or as, it fulfills its performance obligation by transferring a contracted good or service to a customer. Control of an asset is passed to the customer. the asset is transferred when (or as) it passes.

The company records revenue in its financial statements in line with the following basic principles:

  • (a) Determining contracts with customers
  • (b) Determining performance obligations in the contract
  • (c) Determining the transaction price in the contract
  • (d) Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
  • (e) Recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied.

Revenues are measured at the fair value of the amount receivable that has been or will be collected. Estimated customer returns, discounts and provisions are deducted from this amount. Revenue is reflected in the financial statements based on the transaction price. The transaction fee is the amount that the business expects to be entitled to in return for the transfer of the promised wooden pencils, crayons and copy pens, ballpoint pens, mechanical pencils and pencils, liquid ink pens, felt-tip pens, pastels, watercolors, erasers, finger paint, play dough, gouache, toys and other stationery products to the customer, excluding the amounts collected on behalf of third parties.

NOTE 2 - Basis of presentation of financial statements (Continued)

2.2. Significant accounting estimates and decisions (Continued)

Interest income is accrued in the relevant period at the rate of original effective interest rate, which reduces the remaining principal balance and the estimated cash inflows to be obtained from the relevant financial asset over its expected life to the registered value of the asset in question.

2.2.2 Inventory

The Company's inventories consist of raw materials, operating materials, packaging materials, semifinished and finished items, stationery materials and toys.

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost of inventories includes all acquisition costs, conversion costs and other costs incurred in maintaining inventories in their present location and condition. Inventory conversion costs include costs directly attributable to manufacturing, such as direct labor costs. These costs also include systematically allocated amounts of fixed and variable overhead costs incurred in converting raw materials into finished goods.

The weighted average cost method (monthly) is applied in calculating the cost of stocks. Net realizable value is obtained by deducting the estimated cost of completion and the estimated costs that must be incurred to realize the sale from the estimated sales price in ordinary commercial activity. When the net realizable value of stocks falls below their cost, the stocks are reduced to their net realizable value, taking into account their useful life and quality, and are reflected as an expense in the statement of profit or loss in the year in which the impairment occurs. In cases where the conditions that previously caused stocks to be reduced to net realizable value no longer apply or an increase in net realizable value is proven due to changing economic conditions, the impairment provision is cancelled. The canceled amount is limited to the previously allocated impairment amount.

2.2.3. Loans and borrowing cost

Loans are recorded at their value, on the date they are received, after deducting transaction costs from the loan amount (Note 6). Loans are subsequently stated at discounted cost using the effective interest method. The difference between the remaining amount after deducting transaction costs and the discounted cost value is reflected in the income statement as financing cost during the credit period. Financing costs arising from loans are recorded in the income statement in the period in which they are incurred.

Financial investment income obtained by temporarily utilizing the unspent portion of the investmentrelated loan in financial investments is offset against borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. All other borrowing costs are recorded in the income statement in the periods in which they are incurred. The Company has no borrowing costs capitalized in the current and previous periods regarding qualifying assets.

2.2.4 Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are carried with their cost after subtracting accumulated depreciation and impairment. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated principally on a straight-line basis.

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line depreciation method based on the economic lives of each asset, in order to reduce their cost to their residual value, applying the following rates (%).

Land improvements 8
-
15
Buildings 5
-
50
Plant, machinery and
equipment
3
-
20
Vehicles 3
-
12
Furniture and fixtures 1
-
50

Land and plots are not subject to depreciation due to their indefinite useful life. Gains or losses arising from the disposal of fixed assets are determined by comparing their net book value with the sales price and are recognized in operating profit. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred unless they provide a significant enhancement or a measurable improvement to the related asset, in which case they are capitalized.

2.2.5 Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately from a business are capitalized at cost. Intangible assets, excluding development costs, created within the business are not capitalized and expenditure is charged against profits in the period in which it is incurred. Useful lifes of intangible assets are determined as either finite or infinite. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lifes. The carrying values of intangible assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Intangible assets with infinite useful life formed in the financial statements in accordance with purchase method, are not subject to amortization and the carrying amounts of such intangibles are reviewed for impairment at least annually and whenever there is an indication of possible impairment.

An intangible asset is derecognized on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized. This difference is recognized in profit or loss when the asset is excluded from balance sheet.

Rights 3-15
Research and development expenses 5

2.2.6. Impairment of assets

For assets subject to depreciation, an impairment test is applied in case of situations or events in which it is not possible to recover the book value. If the book value of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss provision is recorded. The recoverable amount is the greater of fair value or value in use, less costs to sell. To assess impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest level at which they have separate identifiable cash flows. Non-financial assets other than goodwill that are subject to impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of impairment at each reporting date. There is no impairment associated with profit or loss in the financial statements for the period 31 December 2024.

2.2.7 Research and development expenses

Research expenses are recorded as expense when incurred. Project costs related to the development of new products or the testing and design of developed products are considered intangible assets if the project is commercially and technologically viable and the costs can be reliably determined. Other development expenses are recognized as expense when incurred. Development expenses recorded as expense in the previous period cannot be capitalized in the next period.

2.2.8 Financial instruments

Financial assets

The Company measures the remaining financial assets, except trade receivables, other receivables and cash and cash equivalents, which do not have a significant financing component, at fair value when they are first recognized in the financial statements. If trade receivables do not have a significant financing component in accordance with TFRS 15 (or the Company chooses a facilitating application), these receivables are measured at the transaction price (as defined in TFRS 15) during their initial recognition in the financial statements.

Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

The Company classifies its financial assets as (a) Business model used for managing financial assets, (b) financial assets subsequently measured at amortized cost, at fair value through other comprehensive income or at fair value through profit or loss based on the characteristics of contractual cash flows. The Company reclassifies all financial assets effected from the change in the business model it uses for the management of financial assets. The reclassification of financial assets is applied prospectively from the reclassification date. In such cases, no adjustment is made to gains, losses (including any gains or losses of impairment) or interest previously recognized in the financial statements

NOTE 2 - Basis of presentation of financial statements (Continued)

2.2 Significant accounting estimates and decisions (Continued)

Financial assets carried at amortized cost

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if both of the following conditions are met:

  • (a) holding the financial asset under a business model that aim to collect contractual cash flows;
  • (b) the contractual terms of the financial asset result in cash flows at specified dates that include only payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding balance.

Interest income on financial assets shown at amortized cost is calculated using the effective interest method. This income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset except:

This income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset, except:

  • (a) Financial assets that are credit-impaired when purchased or created. For such financial assets, the Company applies a credit-adjusted effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset, as of its initial recognition.
  • (b) Financial assets that were not credit-impaired financial assets when purchased or created but subsequently become credit-impaired financial assets. For such financial assets, the Company applies the effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the asset in subsequent reporting periods.

If the contractual cash flows of a financial asset have been changed or otherwise restructured and such modification or restructuring does not result in derecognition of the financial asset, the gross carrying amount of the financial asset is recalculated and the restructuring gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss.

In the absence of reasonable expectations regarding the partial or total recovery of a financial asset's value, the Company deducts the financial asset from the financial statements by directly deducting its gross book value.

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

A financial asset is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if both of the following conditions are met:

  • (a) Holding the financial asset under a business model that aims to collect the contractual cash flows and sell the financial asset;
  • (b) The contractual terms of the financial asset result in cash flows at specified dates that include only payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding balance.

NOTE 2 - Basis of presentation of financial statements (Continued)

2.2 Significant accounting estimates and decisions (Continued)

Gains or losses on a financial asset measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, other than impairment gains or losses and foreign exchange gains or losse are determined until the financial asset is derecognised or reclassified, reflected in other comprehensive income. When a financial asset is reclassified the total gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is subtracted from equity as a reclassification adjustment and recognized in profit or loss at the reclassification date. If a financial asset measured at fair value through other comprehensive income is reclassified, the entity recognizes the total gain or loss that it previously recognized in other comprehensive income. Interest calculated using the effective interest method is recognized as profit or loss.

At initial recognition, the Company may make an irreversible choice to present subsequent changes in the fair value of the investment in an equity instrument not held for trading in other comprehensive income.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

If a financial asset is not measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income, it is measured at fair value through profit or loss. The financial assets in question, which constitute derivative products that have not been determined as an effective hedge against financial risk, are also classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Relevant financial assets are shown at their fair values, and gains and losses resulting from the valuation are recognized in the statement of profit or loss.

Impairment

The Company makes a loss provision for expected credit losses related to financial assets carried at amortized cost and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.

The Company applies the impairment provisions when recognizing and measuring the provision for loss for financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. However. the loss allowance is recognized in other comprehensive income and does not reduce the carrying amount of the financial asset in the statement of financial position.

If the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition. Entity measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses at each reporting date.

NOTE 2 - Basis of presentation of financial statements (Continued)

2.2 Significant accounting estimates and decisions (Continued)

Gains or losses arising from a financial asset measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, excluding impairment gains or losses and foreign exchange gains or losses, are reflected in other comprehensive income until the financial asset is derecognized or reclassified. When a financial asset is reclassified, the total gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is removed from equity and recognized in profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment at the reclassification date. In case of reclassification of a financial asset measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the entity recognizes the total gain or loss previously reflected in other comprehensive income. Interest calculated using the effective interest method is recognized in the financial statements as profit or loss.

The Company uses a simplified approach for trade receivables, contract assets and lease receivables, which are not significant financing elements, and calculates loss provisions always equal to lifetime expected credit losses.

Financial Liabilities

The Company measures the financial liability at its fair value when first recognizing it. In the initial measurement of liabilities other than those at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs directly attributable to their acquisition or issuance are added to the fair value.

The company classifies all financial liabilities as measured at amortized cost at subsequent recognition, except for:

  • (a) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss: These liabilities are measured at fair value at subsequent recognition, including derivatives.
  • (b) Financial liabilities arising if the transfer of the financial asset does not meet the requirements for derecognition or if the continuing relationship approach is applied: If the company continues to present an asset in the financial statements to the extent of its continuing relationship. It also reflects a related liability in the financial statements. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured to reflect the rights and obligations that the entity continues to hold. The liability attached to the transferred asset is measured in the same manner as the net book value of the transferred asset.
  • (c) Contingent consideration recognized by the acquirer in a business combination to which TFRS 3 applies: After initial recognition, the fair value changes in such contingent consideration are measured through profit or loss.

The Company does not reclassify any financial liabilities.

NOTE 2 - Basis of presentation of financial statements (Continued)

2.2 Significant accounting estimates and decisions (Continued)

Recognition and derecognition of financial assets and liabilities

The company records financial assets and liabilities only if it is a party to the contract of financial instruments. The Company derecognises the financial asset when its contractual rights to cash flows from the financial asset expire or transfer the related financial asset and all the risks and rewards of ownership of that asset to another party. In cases where all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset are not transferred to another party and the control of the asset is retained by the Company. the Company continues to account for its remaining share in the asset and the liabilities arising from and due to this asset. In the event that the Company retains all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred asset. the financial asset continues to be accounted for and a collateralized liability against the transferred financial asset is also recognized for the revenues obtained. The company derecognises the financial liability only if the obligation defined in the contract is eliminated canceled or expired.

2.2.9. Transactions in foreign currency

In the statutory accounts of the Company, transactions in foreign currencies (currencies other than Turkish lira) are translated into Turkish Lira ("TRL") at the rates of exchange ruling at the transaction dates. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate ruling at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on settlement and translation of foreign currency items are included in the statements of income.

2.2.10. Earnings per shares

Earnings/loss per share is the portion of the net profit or loss that accounts for the common share, which divided by the weighted average unit of common share. In Turkey, companies, can increase their capitals by the "bonus share" method that they distributed from the prior year profits. This type of "bonus share" distribution, is considered as issued share in the earnings per share calculations. Accordingly, weighted average share amount used in this calculations are computed by considering the prior effects of the distributed shares as well.

2.2.11. Events after the reporting period

It refers to events that occur in favor of or against the enterprise between the balance sheet date and the date of authorization for the publication of the balance sheet. In case there is new evidence of the existence of the said events as of the balance sheet date or if the related events occur after the balance sheet date, the company discloses the said issues in the related footnotes.

In case of occurrence of events requiring adjustment after the balance sheet date, the company adjusts the amounts included in the financial statements in accordance with this new situation.

2.2.12 Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that the Company will be required to settle that obligation.The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.

An asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrence or nonoccurrence of one or more uncertain events that are not under the full control of the enterprise is considered a contingent asset. If the possibility of resources containing economic benefits entering the business is high, contingent assets are disclosed in the footnotes.

If contingent liabilities become probable but no reliable estimate can be made about the amount of resources containing economic benefits, the Company presents the relevant liability in the footnotes.

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, receivable is recognized as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of receivable can be measured reliably.

2.2.13 Related parties

A related party is a person or entity that is related to the entity that prepares its financial statements.

a) A person or a member of that person's immediate family is related to a reporting entity if: This person:

  • (i) Controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the entity (this includes parents, subsidiaries and fellow subsidiaries).
  • (ii) Has an interest in the entity that gives it significant influence over the entity; or
  • (iii) Has joint control over the entity.

A related party transaction is the transfer of resources, services or obligations between the reporting entity and a related party, regardless of whether a fee is charged.

2.2.14 Current and deferred income tax

Current year tax liability is calculated on the taxable portion of the period profit. Taxable profit differs from the profit included in the statement of profit or loss because it excludes items that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that cannot be taxed or deducted. The Company's current tax liability is calculated using the tax rate that has been legalized or substantially legalized as of the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is calculated using the liability method, based on temporary differences between the recorded values of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and their tax values. These temporary differences generally arise from the recognition of income and expenses in different reporting periods in accordance with CMB Financial Reporting Standards and Tax Laws.

In calculating deferred tax, tax rates enacted as of the balance sheet date in accordance with the tax legislation in the period in which it will occur are used.

While deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, deferred tax assets consisting of deductible temporary differences are recognized provided that it is highly probable that these differences will be benefited from by generating taxable profits in the future.

If there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset against each other.

Tax is included in the statement of profit or loss provided that it does not relate directly to a transaction recognized in equity. Otherwise, the tax is accounted under equity along with the relevant transaction.

  • 2.3 New and Revised Turkish Financial Reporting Standards
  • a. Standards, amendments, and interpretations applicable as of 31 December 2024:
  • Amendment to IAS 1 Non-current liabilities with covenants; effective from annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024. These amendments clarify how conditions with which an entity must comply within twelve months after the reporting period affect the classification of a liability. The amendments also aim to improve information an entity provides related to liabilities subject to these conditions.
  • Amendment to IFRS 16 Leases on sale and leaseback; effective from annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024. These amendments include requirements for sale and leaseback transactions in IFRS 16 to explain how an entity accounts for a sale and leaseback after the date of the transaction. Sale and leaseback transactions where some or all the lease payments are variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate are most likely to be impacted.
  • Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 on Supplier finance arrangements; effective from annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024. These amendments require disclosures to enhance the transparency of supplier finance arrangements and their effects on a company's liabilities, cash flows and exposure to liquidity risk. The disclosure requirements are the IASB's response to investors' concerns that some companies' supplier finance arrangements are not sufficiently visible, hindering investors' analysis.
  • IFRS S1, 'General requirements for disclosure of sustainability-related financial information; effective from annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024. This standard includes the core framework for the disclosure of material information about sustainability-related risks and opportunities across an entity's value chain.
  • IFRS S2, 'Climate-related disclosures'; effective from annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024. This is the first thematic standard issued that sets out requirements for entities to disclose information about climate-related risks and opportunities.

The relevant standards have had no significant impact on the Company's financial position or performance.

  • b. Standards, amendments, and interpretations that are issued but not effective as of 31 December 2024:
  • IFRS 17, 'Insurance Contracts' TFRS 17, 'Insurance Contracts'; effective from annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. This standard replaces TFRS 4, which permitted a wide variety of practices. TFRS 17 will fundamentally change the accounting for all entities issuing insurance contracts and investment contracts with discretionary participation features.

2.3 New and Revised Turkish Financial Reporting Standards (Continued)

On the other hand, according to Article 13, paragraph 1(a) of the Regulation Amending the Regulation on Financial Reporting of Insurance and Reinsurance Companies and Pension Companies, issued by the Insurance and Private Pension Regulation and Supervision Agency (SEDDK), the effective date of TFRS 17 was postponed from "January 1, 2024" to "January 1, 2025." In its letter dated February 15, 2024, sent to the Banks Association of Turkey, the Public Oversight, Accounting and Auditing Standards Authority (KGK) stated that the application date of TFRS 17 was deferred to January 1, 2025, for the consolidated and individual financial statements of insurance and reinsurance companies, pension companies, banks with investments in these companies, and other companies with investments in these entities.

However, pursuant to Article 13, paragraph 1(a) of the same regulation issued by SEDDK, the effective date of TFRS 17 has been further postponed from "January 1, 2025" to "January 1, 2026." Accordingly, in its letter dated January 14, 2025, sent to the Banks Association of Turkey, KGK announced that the application date of TFRS 17 was deferred to January 1, 2026, for the consolidated and individual financial statements of insurance and reinsurance companies, pension companies, banks with investments in these companies, and other companies with investments in these entities.

  • Amendments to IAS 21 Lack of Exchangeability; effective from annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2025. An entity is impacted by the amendments when it has a transaction or an operation in a foreign currency that is not exchangeable into another currency at a measurement date for a specified purpose. A currency is exchangeable when there is an ability to obtain the other currency (with a normal administrative delay), and the transaction would take place through a market or exchange mechanism that creates enforceable rights and obligations.
  • Amendment to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments; effective from annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026 (early adoption is available). These amendments:
  • clarify the requirements for the timing of recognition and derecognition of some financial assets and liabilities, with a new exception for some financial liabilities settled through an electronic cash transfer system;
  • clarify and add further guidance for assessing whether a financial asset meets the solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) criterion;
  • add new disclosures for certain instruments with contractual terms that can change cash flows (such as some instruments with features linked to the achievement of environment, social and governance (ESG) targets); and
  • make updates to the disclosures for equity instruments designated at Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCI).

2.3 New and Revised Turkish Financial Reporting Standards (Continued)

  • Annual improvements to IFRS Volume 11; Annual improvements are limited to changes that either clarify the wording in an Accounting Standard or correct relatively minor unintended consequences, oversights or conflicts between the requirements in the Accounting Standards. The 2024 amendments are to the following standards:
  • IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards;
  • IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures and its accompanying Guidance on implementing IFRS 7;
  • IFRS 9 Financial Instruments;
  • IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements; and
  • IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows.
  • IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements; effective from annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027. This is the new standard on presentation and disclosure in financial statements, with a focus on updates to the statement of profit or loss. The key new concepts introduced in IFRS 18 relate to:
  • the structure of the statement of profit or loss;
  • required disclosures in the financial statements for certain profit or loss performance measures that are reported outside an entity's financial statements (that is, managementdefined performance measures); and
  • enhanced principles on aggregation and disaggregation which apply to the primary financial statements and notes in general.
  • IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures; effective from annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027. Earlier application is permitted. This new standard works alongside other IFRS Accounting Standards. An eligible subsidiary applies the requirements in other IFRS Accounting Standards except for the disclosure requirements and instead applies the reduced disclosure requirements in IFRS 19. IFRS 19's reduced disclosure requirements balance the information needs of the users of eligible subsidiaries' financial statements with cost savings for preparers. IFRS 19 is a voluntary standard for eligible subsidiaries. A subsidiary is eligible if:
  • it does not have public accountability; and
  • it has an ultimate or intermediate parent that produces consolidated financial statements available for public use that comply with IFRS Accounting Standards.

2.4 Changes and errors in accounting estimates

Changes in accounting policies or accounting errors are applied retrospectively and the financial statements of the comparative period are restated. If estimated changes in accounting policies are for only one period, changes are applied on the current year but if the estimated changes are for the following periods, changes are applied both on the current and following years prospectively. Except for the subject mentioned in "Comparative Information and Restatement of Prior Period Financial Statements", the Company has not identified any significant accounting error or estimated changes in accounting policies in the current year.

2.5. Financial statements of a joint venture operating in a foreign country

The financial statements of the joint venture operating in a foreign country have been prepared in accordance with the legislation in force in the country in which it operates and have been prepared by reflecting the necessary corrections and classifications in order to comply with the "Communiqué on the Principles of Financial Reporting in the Capital Markets".

The assets and liabilities of subsidiaries and joint ventures operating in foreign countries are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date and the income statements of foreign subsidiaries and joint ventures are translated at average exchange rates. Differences that occur by the usage of closing and average exchange rates are followed under currency translation differences classified under equity.

2.6. Seasonality of activities

At the beginning of the year, the Company launches a sales campaign for specific products, followed by "dealer fairs" held in the first quarter to promote the sales of its manufactured and imported brands. During these campaigns and dealer fairs, customer orders are secured through checks, Direct Debit System (DDS), or credit cards. A significant portion of the orders received is shipped within the first half of the year.

2.7. Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

Fair values of derivatives and other financial instruments

Derivatives are recognized initially at fair value at the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at each reporting date. The resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which event the timing of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedge relationship.

Expected credit losses

Provision for doubtful receivables is recognized using expected credit losses as defined in TFRS 9. The allowance for doubtful receivables is calculated using expected credit losses and excluding dealers subject to the Direct Debit System, taking into account the Company's estimates for the future in addition to past experience.

These incentives are recognized in revenues in the period to match the costs they are expected to cover. Income from government incentives is recognized as a deduction from an appropriate expense item.

NOTE 3 - Segment reporting

Fields of activity of the Company established in Türkiye are the production of pencils, colored pencils, toys, and other stationery equipment; the sale and export of finished products in the facilities; and the import of all kinds of raw materials, semi-finished products, and finished products for purchase and sale.

The Company's field of activity, the nature and economic characteristics of the products, the production processes, the classification according to the risks of the customers and the methods used in the distribution of the products are similar. In addition, the organizational structure of the Company has been established in such a way that a single activity is managed instead of the Company being managed in separate divisions containing different activities. For these reasons, the Company's operations are considered as a single operating segment, and the Company's operating results, the determination of the resources to be allocated to these activities, and the examination of the performances of these activities are evaluated within this framework.

Provisions for employee termination benefits

In accordance with the provisions of the Labor Law in force, there is an obligation to pay the legal severance pay to employees whose employment contract has ended so that they are entitled to severance pay. In addition, in accordance with the legislation currently in force, there is an obligation to pay the legal severance pay to those who have the right to leave the job by receiving severance pay. As of 1 January 2025, the severance pay to be paid is subject to a monthly ceiling of TRL 46.655,43 (1 January 2024: TRL 35.058,58). Severance pay liability is not legally subject to any funding. Severance pay liability is calculated based on the estimation of the present value of the company's possible future liability arising from the retirement of employees. TAS 19 ("Employee Benefits") requires the company to develop its liabilities within the scope of defined monthly plans using actuarial valuation methods. Accordingly, the actuarial assumptions used in calculating total liabilities are stated below:

Severance pay liability is not legally subject to any funding. The severance pay provision is calculated by estimating the present value of the future probable obligation of the company arising from the retirement of its employees. TAS 19 ("Employee Benefits") requires the company's liabilities to be developed using actuarial valuation methods within the scope of defined benefit plans. Accordingly, the actuarial assumptions used in the calculation of total liabilities are as follows:

The main assumption is that the maximum liability for each year of service increases in line with inflation. Therefore, the discount rate applied represents the expected real rate after adjusting for the effects of future inflation. As of 31 December 2024 and 2023, provisions in the attached financial statements are calculated by estimating the present value of the possible future liability arising from the retirement of employees.

NOTE 24 - Nature and level of risks arising from financial instruments

(a) Capital risk management

The Company manages its capital to ensure that it will maintain its status as a going concern while maximizing the return to stakeholders through the optimization of the debt and equity balance, The capital structure of the Company consists of debt, which includes the borrowings and other debts, cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to equity holders of the parent, comprising issued capital, reserves and retained earnings.

The management of the Company considers the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. The management of the Company aims to balance its overall capital structure through the payment of dividends, new share issues and the issue of new debt or the redemption of existing debt.

(Amounts expressed in thousands of Turkish lira ("TRL") in terms purchasing power of the TRL at December 31,2024 unless otherwise indicated)

NOTE 24 - Nature and level of risks arising from financial instruments (Continued)

As of 31 December 2024 and 31 December 2023, net debt/(equity+net debt) ratio is as follows:

31 December 2024 31 December 2023
Total borrowings 1.007.624 1.606.502
Less: Cash and cash equivalents (659.335) (1.335.793)
Net dept 348.289 270.709
Total equity 1.449.086 1.603.807
Total equity + net dept 1.797.375 1.874.516
Net dept / (total equity+net dept) ratio 19% 14%

(b) Credit risk

Financial instruments have a counterparty risk as they may not fulfill requirements of the agreement. The Company manages credit risk by constantly evaluating the credibility of the related parties and by determining counterparty credit limits and due dates on a customer basis. Company also receives collaterals from customers as needed. Instruments that increase the credit reliability as guarantees received to determine the maximum amount of credit risk as of reporting date, are not taken into account.

Concentrations of credit risk arise when a number of counterparties are engaged in similar business activities or activities in the same geographic region, or have similar economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic, political or other conditions. Concentrations of credit risk indicate the relative sensitivity of the Company's performance to developments affecting a particular industry or geographic location.

(c) Currency risk and management

NOTE 24 - Nature and level of risks arising from financial instruments (Continued)

(d) Interest rate risk and management

As of 31 December 2024, the Company does not have any floating rate borrowings. (31 December 2023: None).

(e) Credit risk management

Holding financial instruments also carries the risk that the other party will not be able to fulfill the requirements of the agreement. The Company's collection risk mainly arises from its trade receivables. Trade receivables are evaluated taking into account the Company policies and procedures and accordingly, they are shown in the balance sheet net after provision for doubtful receivables.

The majority of the Company's sales are for the domestic market and it is mainly carried out through dealers and wholesalers. About 57% of the sales are due to the sales of the manufactured products. The commercial goods sold by the Company are of foreign origin. Therefore the company's merchandise costs are sensitive to the exchange rate. The cost of raw materials depends on the general price trend in the country. Approximately 95% of the Company's net sales are domestically oriented and the fluctuations in exchange rates are taken into account when determining price levels.

The Company collects its receivables mainly through checks received from its dealers and also uses a direct debit system (DBS). Since the issuers of the checks received in general are the customers of the dealers, risk distribution is provided. Due to the fact that the Company operates in this system, there is no significant risk arising from its receivables.
