INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the General Assembly of Galata Wind Enerji Anonim Şirketi

A. Audit of the consolidated financial statements

1. Our opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Galata Wind Enerji Anonim Şirketi (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "Group") which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2023, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended and notes to the consolidated financial statements comprising a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2023, 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 Consolidated Financial Statements" section of our report. We hereby declare that we are independent of the Group 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 consolidated financial statements of the current period. Key audit matters were addressed in the context of our independent audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

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

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

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group'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 Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

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

5. Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 Group'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 Group'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 consolidated 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 Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • · Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
  • · Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion

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 consolidated 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 Company's bookkeeping activities concerning the period from 1 January to 31 December 2023 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 21 March 2024.

Galata Wind Enerji Anonim Şirketi ("Galata Wind" or the "Company") was acquired and taken over from the İbrahimağaoğlu Family on 29 June 2012 as a Doğan Holding subsidiary.

While the Company operated as a subsidiary of Doğan Enerji Yatırımları Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş. ("Doğan Enerji") as part of Doğan Şirketler Grubu Holding A.Ş., it started to operate directly as a subsidiary of Doğan Şirketler Grubu Holding A.Ş. after the merger of Doğan Şirketler Grubu Holding A.Ş. and Doğan Enerji Yatırımları Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş. under Doğan Şirketler Grubu Holding A.Ş. on 2 March 2021. The ultimate joint shareholders of the Company are Aydın Doğan and Doğan Family (Işıl Doğan, Arzuhan Yalçındağ, Vuslat Sabancı, Hanzade V. Doğan Boyner and Y. Begümhan Doğan Faralyalı).

Galata Wind is subject to Capital Markets Legislation and Capital Markets Board ("CMB") regulations. Its shares have been traded on Borsa İstanbul A.Ş. ("Borsa İstanbul") since 22 April 2021. As per CMB Principle Decision No. 31/1059 dated 30 October 2014 and Principle Decision No. 21/655 dated 23 July 2010, and according to the records of Central Securities Depository ("CSD"), as of 21 March 2024, shares corresponding to 29.95% of Galata Wind's capital are accepted as being in circulation.

The main activities of the Company are establishing, operating and managing power plants and generating and selling electricity.

In the scope of this purpose and field, the Company generates electricity using sustainable energy sources and sells this electricity to the Turkey Interconnected Grid.

The Company owns three wind power plants (WPP) and two solar power plants (SPP). Total installed capacity of these plants is 290.2 MW, 246.7 MW of which is comprised of WPPs, and 43.5 MW of which is comprised of SPPs. All power plants, except Mersin WPP and Şah WPP, sell the electricity generated to the feed-in-tariff system, within the scope of the Support Mechanism for Renewable Energy Sources ("YEKDEM"). As of December 2023, a total of 729.614 MWh of electricity was generated, 678.475 MWh from WPPs and 51.139 MWh from SPPs.

The WPPs with 49-year generation licenses are Şah WPP, Taşpınar WPP and Mersin WPP. The 105 MW Şah WPP in Bandırma/Balıkesir has been in operation since 2011, while the 62.7 MW Mersin WPP in Mut/Mersin has been in operation since 2010. The Şah WPP and the Mersin WPP changed hands following the takeover of the company by the Doğan Group and have been operated by the Doğan Group since June 2012.

Items included in the financial statements of the Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ("the functional currency"). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Turkish Lira, which is the functional and presentation currency of Group.

2.1.2 Consolidation Principles

(a) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries comprise of the companies directly or indirectly controlled by Galata Wind.

Control is achieved when the Group:

  • Has power over the company/asset;
  • Is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the company/asset; and
  • Has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.

The Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are indicators of a situation or an event that may cause any changes to at least one of the elements of control listed above.

When the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether or not the Group's voting rights in the relevant investee are sufficient to give it power, including:

  • The size of the Group's holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other vote holders;
  • Potential voting rights held by the Group, other vote holders or other parties;
  • Rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and
  • Any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the Group has, or does not have, the current ability to direct the relevant activities (including voting patterns at previous shareholders' meetings).

Subsidiaries are consolidated by the date the Group takes the control and from the date the control is over, subsidiaries are excluded from the consolidation scope. Proportion of ownership interest represents the effective shareholding of the Group through the shares held by Galata Wind and/or indirectly by its subsidiaries.

Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated on consolidation. The dividends arising from shares held by Group in its subsidiary are eliminated from equity and income for the period.

Subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the accounting period are included in the consolidation from the date at which the control of operations are transferred to the Group and excluded from the consolidation when the control is lost. Even if non-controlling interests result in a deficit balance, total comprehensive income is attributed to the owners and to the non-controlling interests.

(a) Subsidiaries (Continued)

Income and expense of a subsidiary, acquired or disposed of the during the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date the Group gains control until the date when the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.

Changes in ownership interests

The Group assesses transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of the group. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their indirect interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or received is recognised in a separate reserve within equity.

As of 31 December 2023 and, Sunflower, Gökova, Galata Wind Global are the subsidiaries consolidated. The voting rights and effective ownership rates for Sunflower are shown below:

These amendments require companies to recognise deferred tax on transactions that, on initial recognition give rise to equal amounts of taxable and deductible temporary differences.
    • IFRS 17, 'Insurance Contracts'; effective from annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023. This standard replaces IFRS 4, which permited a wide variety of practices in accounting for insurance contracts. IFRS 17 will fundamentally change the accounting by all entities that issue insurance contracts.
    • Amendment to IAS 12 - International tax reform - pillar two model rules; The deferred tax exemption and disclosure of the fact that the exception has been applied, is effective immediately. The other disclosure requirements are effective annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023. These amendments give companies temporary relief from accounting for deferred taxes arising from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's (OECD) international tax reform. The amendments also introduce targeted disclosure requirements for affected companies.
    • b) Standards, amendments, and interpretations that are issued but not effective as of 31 December 2023:
      • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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 sustainabilityrelated 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. However in the Board Decision of the POA published in the Official Gazette dated December 29, 2023, it was announced that certain businesses will be subject to mandatory sustainability reporting as of January 1, 2024. Businesses that fall within the scope of sustainability practice are counted for the purpose of Determining Businesses That Will Be Subject to Sustainability Reporting within the Scope of the "Board Decision Regarding the Scope of Application of Turkish Sustainability Reporting Standards (TSRS)" dated January 5, 2024.

2.1.7 Summary of significant accounting policies

2.1.7 Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

Trade receivables and provision for doubtful receivables

The Group's trade receivables from providing goods or services to customers are carried at net of unrealized finance income ("unearned financial income due to sales with maturity"). Trade receivables, net of unrealized finance income, are calculated by discounting future cash inflows of receivables carried at the original invoice amount using the effective interest method. 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 to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Effective interest method is calculating the present value in accordance with the compound interest basis. The rate determined by compound interest basis and applied in this method is named "effective interest rate". Short term receivables with indefinite interest rate are carried at cost unless the effect of imputing interest is significant (Note 6).

When calculating the impairment of trade receivables, which are recognised based on the cost amortised in financial statements and do not include an important financing component, Group preferred to adopt "simplified approach" in TFRS 9.

TAS 39, "Financial Instruments" valid before 1 January 2018: Instead of "realised credit losses model" in Accounting and Measurement Standard, "expected credit loss model" was defined in TFRS 9 "Financial Instruments". Expected credit loss is estimated by weighting credit losses, expected to occur throughout the expected life of financial instruments, based on previous statistics. When calculating the expected credit losses, credit losses in the previous years and forecasts of the Group are considered.

The Group evaluates to recognize provision for doubtful receivables, whose payment was not made within the ordinary commercial activity cycle of the Group, considering whether the trade receivable is subject to administrative and/or legal proceeding, whether or not they have a guarantee and there is an objective finding. The amount of such provision is the difference between the book value of the receivable and the collectible amount. The collectible amount is the current value of the expected cash flow, including the amounts to be collected from guarantees and collaterals, which is discounted based on the original effective interest rate of the initial receivable.

When trade receivables are not impaired for certain reasons along with realised impairment losses, Group recognises expected credit loss provision equal to lifetime expected credit loss for trade receivables as per TFRS 9. Expected credit loss is calculated by expected credit loss rates determined based on previous credit loss experiences of the Group and prospective macroeconomic indicators. Changes in expected credit loss provisions are recognised under other income and expenses from operating activities (Note 20, 6).

If there is a partial or whole collection over the doubtful receivable amount subsequent to the recognition of a provision for doubtful receivables, the collected portion is recognized as other income from operating activities following the write-down of the total provision amount (Note 6; 20).

2.1.7 Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or estimated selling price less estimated costs necessary to make a sale (net realizable value). Cost elements included in inventory are purchasing costs and other costs necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use. Cost elements included in inventories are materials, labor and production overheads. The unit cost of inventories is determined on the weighted average basis. The inventories item includes the solar panels that Sunflower trades.

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 the consolidated statement of profit or 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 the changing economic circumstances, the amount of the write-down is reversed. The reversal amount is limited to the amount of the initial impairment.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is provided on property, plant and equipment on a straight-line basis (except land) (Note 8). Land is not subject to depreciation since useful life is assumed to be infinite.

The estimated useful lives of the tangible assets are as follows;

Years
Land and land improvements 50 years
Buildings 50 years
Wind turbines, transformers and switchyard 10 -
30 years
Solar panels 20 years
Motor vehicles 4 -
5 years
Furniture and fixtures 4 -
11 years

Expected useful life, residual value and depreciation method are reviewed annually for possible effects of changes in estimates and are recognized prospectively if there is a change in estimates.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized in the consolidated statement of financial position upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized as income or expenses from investing activities in profit or loss.

Where the carrying amount of an asset is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, it is written down immediately to its recoverable amount provided to allocate provision. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. Fair value less costs to sell is the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset less the costs of disposal. Value in use is the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from an asset plus the residual value of the related assets as of the statement of financial position date. Repair and maintenance expenses are charged to the statement of profit or loss as they are incurred. Capital expenditures that increase the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from property, plant and equipment by increasing its capacity is added to the cost of tangible fixed asset. Gain and losses regarding sale of property, plant and equipment are accounted as other income and expenses from investing activities.

Property, plant and equipment (Continued)

Construction in progress for the installation of electricity energy production, which is classified under property, plant and equipment, includes the following cost elements in brief:

  • Purchase price after deducting discounts, including import duties and non-refundable taxes,
  • Any costs related to the conditions that the asset will be placed and installed in order to work properly as the management aimed,
  • Costs related to employee benefits arising from the construction or by the direct acquisition of tangible assets,
  • Costs related to the preparation of the place,
  • Costs associated with the first delivery,
  • Setup and installation costs,
  • Professional fees,
  • General and administrative expenses that are directly related to the acquisition or construction of fixed assets,
  • Expropriation costs for the construction of the power plant.

Intangible assets and related amortization

Intangible assets are carried at cost and amortized by using the straight-line method (Note 9).

Estimated useful lives of intangible assets that have a finite useful life are as follows:

Rights 39 - 49 years

Intangible assets with estimated useful lives are tested to determine whether there is an indication that the intangible assets may be impaired and if the carrying value of the intangible asset is higher than the recoverable amount, the carrying value of the intangible asset is written down to its recoverable amount provided to allocate provision. The amount recoverable from an intangible asset is either the discounted net cash flows generated from the use of that intangible asset or the net sales value of that intangible asset depending whether the former or the latter being higher. Provision for impairment is recognised under the statement of profit or loss in the related period.

Goodwill

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group's cash-generating units (or groups of cash-generating units) that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

The cash-generating unit, where the goodwill is allocated, is tested for impairment annually. If there is any indication that the unit is impaired, the impairment test is performed more frequently.

Goodwill (Continued)

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 financial statements. 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.

Impairment of assets excluding goodwill and intangible assets with infinite useful lives

At each statement of consolidated financial position date, the Group evaluates whether there are any indications that an asset other than goodwill or infinite life intangible assets may be impaired. When an indication of impairment exists, carrying value of the assets is compared with the net realizable value which is the higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). Impairment exists if the carrying value of an asset or a cash generating unit including that asset is greater than its recoverable amount which is the higher of value in use or fair value less costs to sell. Impairment losses are recognized in the statement of profit or loss.

Business Combinations

The acquisition of businesses is 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 acquire and the equity interests issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquire. Acquisition-related costs are generally recognised as cost as incurred.

At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired, and the liabilities assumed are recognised at their fair value, except that:

  • Deferred tax assets or liabilities and assets or liabilities related to employee benefit arrangements are recognised and measured in accordance with TAS 12 Income Taxes and TAS 19 Employee Benefits respectively;
  • Liabilities or equity instruments related to share-based payment arrangements of the acquire or share-based payment arrangements of the Group entered into to replace share-based payment arrangements of the acquire are measured in accordance with TFRS 2 Share-based Payment at the acquisition date;
  • Assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with TFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations are measured in accordance with that Standard.

2.1.7 Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

Business Combinations (Continued)

Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any noncontrolling 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 revaluation, 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 recognised 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 TAS.

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.

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 remeasured 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 remeasured at subsequent reporting dates in accordance with if it is found to be within the standart of TFRS 9 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, the mentioned conditional price is measured at its fair value and the gain or loss arising out of the change is recognised under profits, losses or other comprehensive income. Those not covered under the scope of TFRS 9, is recognized in profit or loss as per TAS 37 Provisions or other suitable "TAS".

When a business combination is achieved in stages, the Group's previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured 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 recognised in profit or loss. Amounts arising from interests in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date that have previously been recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss where such treatment would be appropriate if that interest were disposed of.

2.1.7 Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

Business Combinations (Continued)

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 recognised, to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognised at that date (Note 3).

Legal mergers between entities controlled by the Group are not considered within the scope of TFRS 3 "Business Combinations". Therefore, goodwill is not calculated in such mergers. Besides, transactions occurring between the parties in legal mergers are subject to adjustments during the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. In the accounting of share transfers under common control, assets and liabilities subject to business combination are included in the consolidated financial statements with their carrying values. Mergers between entities under common control are recognized by "Pooling of Interests" method. In applying the "Pooling of Interests" method, the consolidated financial statements are adjusted as if the acquisition was performed as of the beginning at the relevant reporting period in which the common control is carried out and they are presented comperatively as of the beginning of the relevant reporting period. As a result of these transactions, no goodwill or negotiable purchase effect is calculated (Note 3). Business combinations under common control are not within the scope of TFRS 3 "Business Combinations" and the Group does not recognize any goodwill with respect to such transactions. If the carrying amount of the acquired net assets on the date of the merger exceeds the transferred value, the difference is considered as the additional capital contributions of the shareholders and reflected to the Share Premiums. On the contrary, when the net transaction consideration exceeds the carrying amount of the net assets of the entity on the date of the transaction, the difference is reflected in "Effects of Mergers of Entities Under Common Control" as an item decreasing the equity.

Leases

If a contract regulates the right to control the use of an asset that is defined in the contract for a certain period and for a specific price, this contract is considered as a lease in its nature or includes a lease transaction. At the beginning of a contract, the Group assesses whether the contract is a lease or include a lease transaction. The Group considers the following conditions when assessing whether or not a contract transfers the right to control the use of a defined asset for a specified period of time:

  • a) The existence of a clearly or implicitly identifiable asset that constitutes the subject of the lease,
  • b) The lessee has the right to obtain almost all of the economic benefits from the use of the defined asset that constitutes the subject of the lease,
  • c) The lessee has the right to manage the use of the defined asset that constitutes the subject of the lease. According to circumstances listed below, the tenant is deemed to have the right to manage the defined asset constituting the subject of the lease;
    • i. The lessee has the right to operate the property for the duration of its use (or to direct others to operate the property in its own way) and the lessor does not have the right to change these operating instructions or
    • ii. Designing the asset (or certain features of the asset) in advance in a manner of how and for what purpose the asset will be used during its occupancy by the lessee.

In case that the contract fulfils these conditions, the Group reflects a right of use asset and a lease liability to the consolidated financial statements at the date of the lease's actual start.

Leases (Continued)

The right of use assets

The right-of-use asset is initially recognized by the cost method and includes the followings:

  • a) The first measurement amount of the lease liability to be recognized as the right of use asset,
  • b) Deduction of all leasing incentives related to the lease, from the first measurement amount of the lease liability recorded as a right of use asset,
  • c) All direct costs, that are related to the lease, incurred by the Group to be added to the first measurement amount of the lease liability, which will be recognized as a right of use asset, and
  • d) Estimated costs to be incurred by the Group shall be added to the initial measurement amount in relation to the dismantling and transporting of the defined asset constituting the subject of the lease, the restoration of the area in which it is placed, or the restoration of the defined asset as required by the terms and conditions of the lease.

In applying the cost method, the Group measures the right of use asset by:

  • a) deducting the accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses and,
  • b) measuring the cost of the lease in accordance with the re-measurement of the lease liability.

The Group applies depreciation provisions in "TAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment" while depreciating the right of use asset. In order to determine whether the right of use asset has been impaired or not and to recognize any impairment losses the "TAS 36 Impairment of Assets" standard is implemented.

Lease liability

At the effective date of the lease, the Group measures its leasing liability at the present value of the lease payments not realized at that date. If the interest rate on the lease can be easily determined, this rate is used in discount; if the implied interest rate cannot be easily determined, the payments are discounted by using the alternative borrowing interest rate of the lessee.

Lease payments that are included in the measurement of the lease liability of the Group and the payments that have not occurred on the date when the lease is actually started consist of the following:

  • a) Amount deducted from all types of rental incentive receivables from fixed payments,
  • b) Lease payments based on an index or a rate, lease payments made using an index or a rate at the time the initial measurement was actually started,
  • c) The penalty for termination of the lease in cases the lessee shows a sign of it will use an option to terminate the lease.

After the effective date of the lease, the Group measures its lease liability as follows:

  • a) Increasing the book value by reflecting interest on lease liability,
  • b) Reducing the book value by reflecting the lease payments made
  • c) Re-measures the book value to reflect any re-evaluations and reconfigurations, if any. The Group reflects the remeasured amount of the lease obligation to the consolidated financial statements as adjustment in the use of right.

Leases (Continued)

Extension and early termination options

A lease obligation is determined by considering the extension of the contracts and early termination options. Most of the extension and early termination options included in the contracts consist of options that are jointly applicable by the Group and the lessor. However, if such extension and early termination options are at the Group's discretion in accordance with the contract and the use of the options is reasonably certain, the lease term shall be determined by taking this issue into account. If there is a significant change in the conditions, the evaluation is reviewed by the Group.

Facilitative applications

Contracts related to IT equipment leases (mainly printer, laptop, mobile phone, etc.), which are determined by the Group as low value, short-term lease agreements with a period of 12 months and less, have been assessed under the exemption granted by the TFRS 16 "Leases", and payments for these contracts are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

Financial assets

Group classified its financial assets in two categories; financial assets carried at amortized cost, financial assets carried at fair value though profit of loss. Classification is performed in accordance with the business model determined based on the purpose of benefits from financial assets and expected cash flows. Management performs the classification of financial assets at the acquisition date.

(a) Financial assets carried at amortized cost

Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, whose payments are fixed or predetermined, which are not actively traded and which are not derivative instruments are measured at amortized cost. They are included in current assets, except for maturities more than 12 months after the balance sheet date. Those with maturities more than 12 months are classified as non-current assets. The Group's financial assets carried at amortized cost comprise "trade receivables", "other receivables" and "cash and cash equivalents" in the statement of financial position.

Impairment

Group has applied simplified approach and used impairment matrix for the calculation of impairment on its receivables carried at amortized cost, since they do not comprise of any significant finance component. In accordance with this method, if any provision is not provided to the trade receivables as a result of a specific event, Group measures expected credit loss from these receivables by the life-time expected credit loss. The calculation of expected credit loss is performed based on the past experience of the Group and its expectation based on the macroeconomic indications.

Financial assets (Continued)

(b) Financial assets carried at fair value

Assets that are held by the management for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets are measured at their fair value. If the management do not plan to dispose these assets in 12 months after the statement of financial position, they are classified as non-current assets. Group makes a choice that cannot be changed later for the equity instruments during the initial recognition and elect profit or loss or other comprehensive income for the presentation of fair value gain and loss.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss consist of "derivative instruments" in statement of financial position. Derivative instruments are recognised as asset if their fair value is positive and as liability if their fair value is negative. Group's derivative instruments consist of transactions concerning cross currency and interest swap. Financial assets that are measured by their fair value and associated with the profit or loss statement are initially reflected on the statement of financial position with their costs including the transaction cost. These financial assets are valued based on their fair value after they are recognised. Realised or unrealised profit and losses are recognised under "financing income/(expense)". Financial assets including the derivative products not determined as hedging instruments are classified as financial assets whose fair value difference is reflected as profit or loss (Note 15).

(c) Financial assets carried at value through other comprehensive income

Financial assets carried at fair value through other comprehensive income comprise of "financial assets" in the statement of financial position. In addition, trade receivables collected from factoring companies due to without recourse factoring activities are classified as financial assets carried at fair value through other comprehensive income since the collection risk of these receivables are transferred to the factoring companies and management's business plan for them is "hold to sell". When the financial assets carried at fair value through other comprehensive income are sold, fair value gain or loss classified in other comprehensive income is classified to retained earnings.

Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting

Derivative financial instruments are comprised of cross currency and interest swap agreements. Derivative financial instruments are subsequently remeasured at their fair value. Fair values of derivative financial instruments are obtained from quoted market prices or discounted cash flow models as appropriate. Based on positive or negative fair value, derivative financial instruments are carried as assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position respectively (Note 15).

In the case of future cash flows being subject to cash flow hedges and related transactions being effective, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualified as cash flow hedges is recognized in equity directly whereas the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the statement of profit or loss.

Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting (Continued)

If the cash flow hedge of a firm commitment or an expected forward transaction result in the recognition of an asset or liability, at the initial recognition of this asset or liability the gain or loss previously recognized under equity related to derivatives is included in the measurement of the initial amount of the asset or liability. In a hedge accounting that does not result in the recognition of an asset or a liability, the amounts previously recognized under equity are transferred to statement of profit or loss in the period in which the hedged item has an effect on profit or loss. The changes in the fair value of derivatives that do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting are recognized in the statement of profit or loss.

The Group utilizes foreign exchange derivatives to protect future significant transactions and cash flows from financial risk. Group has signed various forward exchange contracts regarding the management of fluctuations in exchange rates and fuel prices. The derivative instruments purchased are mainly denominated in foreign currencies in which the Group operates.

If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised without replacement or rollover, or if its designation as a hedge is revoked, any cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in equity remains in equity until the forecast transaction or firm commitment affects profit or loss. If the forecast transaction or firm commitment is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or losses previously recognized in equity are transferred to the statement of profit or loss.

Financial borrowings and borrowing costs

Borrowings are recognized initially at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Any difference between proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the redemption value is recognized in the profit or loss as finance expense over the period of the borrowings. The borrowing costs which are directly related with the acquisition, manufacturing or production of a specialty good (means that a long period of time is required to make available for sale and use as purposed) are capitalized as a part of the related asset (Note 5).

Trade payables

Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. If trade payable is less than or equal to 1 year (or if it is longer as long as it is in the Group's normal operational cycle), these payables are classified as short-term payables, Otherwise, these are classified as long-term payables (Note 6).

Trade payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Share capital and dividends

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Dividend income is recognized by the Group as income when the right to receive the dividend arises in the consolidated financial statements. Dividend distribution to the Group's shareholders is recognized as a liability in the Group's consolidated financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Ordinary General Assembly (Note 16).

Taxation

Taxation on income includes current period income taxes and deferred taxes. Current year tax liability consists of tax liability on period income calculated according to currently enacted tax rates and tax legislation in force as of statement of financial position date and includes adjustments related to the previous year's tax liabilities. Turkish tax legislation does not allow the parent company to file a tax return over the consolidated financial statements of its subsidiaries. Therefore, provisions for taxes, as reflected in these consolidated financial statements, have been calculated separately for all companies included in the scope of consolidation.

Deferred income tax is provided, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the statutory tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying values for financial reporting purposes. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the statement of financial position date.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, where deferred tax assets resulting from deductible temporary differences are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilized. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises 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 recognized 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 recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

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 (Note 22).

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they are related to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority.

Current and deferred tax

Tax is included in the statement of profit or loss, unless it is related to an operation that is accounted directly under equity. Otherwise, tax is accounted under equity as well as the related transaction (Note 22).

Employment termination benefits

The provision for employment termination benefit represents the present value of the estimated total reserves of the future probable liability of the Group arising from the retirement of the employees measured in accordance with the Turkish Labour and Press Labour Laws (Note 12).

According to the amendment in TAS 19, the Group calculated employment benefit in accordance with the report prepared by the actuarial firm and recognised all actuarial loss and gains in the other comprehensive statement of profit or loss as of the statement of financial position date.

Provisions, contingent assets and liabilities

Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation or a result of past events, it is probable that on outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made.

Contingent liabilities are assessed continually to determine whether an outflow of resources comprising economic benefits has become probable. If it becomes probable that an outflow of future economic benefits will be required for an item previously treated as a contingent liability, a provision is recognized in the financial statements of the period in which the change in probability occurs except in the extremely rare circumstances where no reliable estimate can be made.

If it has become virtually certain that an inflow of economic benefits will arise, the asset and the related income are recognised by the Group in the consolidated financial statements of the period in which the change occurs.

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 financial tables and are treated as contingent assets or liabilities. A contingent asset is disclosed where an inflow of economic benefit is probable.

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, the receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably (Note 11).

Revenue recognition

The Group earns electricity sales income by generating electricity with solar and wind power plants and selling it. Since electricity is a service provided in a series that the client receives and consumes simultaneously, it is recognised as one performance obligation, point of time and through the output method (Note 17).

When the Group meets its performance obligation by transferring a product or service that it previously committed to, the revenue is recognised in consolidated financial statements. When the customer takes control of an asset, the asset is deemed to have been transferred.

Revenue recognition (Continued)

The Group recognises revenue based on the following five principles:

  • Identification of customer contracts,
  • Identification of performance obligations,
  • Determination of the transaction price in the contracts,
  • Allocation of transaction price to the performance obligations,
  • Recognition of revenue when the performance obligations are satisfied.

If all the below-mentioned conditions are met, Group recognises an agreement made with the client as revenue:

  • Parties to the agreement approved the agreement (in writing, orally or in other means in line with commercial practices) and committed to meet their respective obligations,
  • Group can define the rights of each party concerning the goods or services to be transferred,
  • Group can define payment conditions concerning the goods or services to be transferred,
  • The agreement is commercial in essence.
  • It is possible that the Group will collect money in return for goods and services to be transferred to the client.

When determining whether the money can be collected, Group only considers its client's ability and intention to pay the money in time. At the beginning of the agreement, Group evaluates the goods or services committed to the client in the agreement and defines each commitment to transfer goods or services as performance obligation.

At the beginning of the agreement, Group evaluates the goods or services committed to the client in the agreement and defines each commitment to transfer goods or services as performance obligation as follows:

  • a) Different goods or service (goods or service packages) or
  • b) A group of different goods or services which are similar in a great extent and transferred to the client with the same method.

A group of different goods or services are subject to the same transfer method if the below conditions are met:

  • a) Each different product or service that the Group committed to transfer to the client must meet required conditions and constitute a performance obligation to be met in time and
  • b) As per the relevant paragraph of the standard, using the same method to measure the progress of the Group in meeting its obligation to transfer each product or service included in the group to the client.

The Group signed a Balancing Group agreement to manage imbalances arising in the electricity market operated by EPİAŞ. Should a positive or negative imbalance arise in the production estimates entered in the system the day before the electricity delivery date, the entity managing the Balancing Group can purchase and sell on behalf of the Group in the intraday market (IDP). As a result of these transactions, invoices for income or expense of IDP transactions reflected to the Group by EPİAŞ according to the monthly Settlement results are then directly reflected to the entity managing the balancing group.

Revenue recognition (Continued)

Because the entity managing the Balancing Group bears all other imbalance costs on the system, there is no other imbalance cost. IDP amounts coming from EPİAŞ are recognised as expense as a result of the Settlement reflected by the Group to the entity managing the Balancing Group, and for IDP receivable amounts are recognised as income since the Group is invoiced by the entity managing the Balancing Group. Such income and expense transactions are offset in these financial statements.

Related Parties

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

  • (a) A person or a close member of that person's family is related to a reporting entity if that person,
    • i. has control or joint control over the reporting entity,
    • ii. has significant influence over the reporting entity; or,
    • iii. is a member of the key management personnel of the reporting entity or of a parent of the reporting entity.

    • ii. One entity is an associate or joint venture of the other entity (or an associate or joint venture of a member of a group of which the other entity is a member),
    • iii. Both entities are joint ventures of the same third party,
    • iv. One entity is a joint venture of a third party and the other entity is an associate of the third entity,
    • v. The entity is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of employees of either the reporting entity related to the reporting entity, If the reporting entity is itself such a plan, the sponsoring employers are also related to the reporting entity,
    • vi. The entity is controlled or jointly controlled by a person identified in (a),
    • vii. (a) person identified in (a)(i) has significant influence over the entity or is a member of the key management personnel of the entity (or of a parent of the entity).

Statement of cash flows

In the statement of cash flows, cash flows during the period are classified under operating, investing or financing activities.

The cash flows raised from operating activities indicate cash flows due to the Group's activities.

The cash flows due to investing activities indicate the Group cash flows that are used for and obtained from investments (investments in property, plant and equipment and financial investments).

The cash flows due to financing activities indicate the cash obtained from financial arrangements and used in their repayment.

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and bank deposits and the investments that are readily convertible into cash and highly liquid with three months or less to maturity.

Earnings/(loss) per share

Earnings/(loss) per share is determined by dividing net income/(loss) by the weighted average number of shares that have been outstanding during the period concerned.

In Turkey, companies can increase their issued capital by making a pro-rata distribution of shares ("bonus shares") to existing shareholders from retained earnings. For the purpose of earnings per share computations, such bonus share issuances are regarded as issued shares for all of the periods presented in the consolidated financial statements (Note 25).

Segment reporting

The information used by group management to evaluate performance and allocate resources belongs to the "energy production" section in Turkey, which operates in a single line of work. Therefore, no segment reporting footnote is presented.

Foreign currency transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the income statement except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges.

Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings are presented in the statement of profit or loss, under finance costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of profit or loss on a net basis under other income or other expenses.

Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. For example, translation differences on non-monetary assets and liabilities such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss and translation differences on non-monetary assets such as equities classified as available-for-sale financial assets are recognised under other comprehensive income.

Events after the reporting period

The Group adjusts the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements to reflect the adjusting events after the balance sheet date. If non-adjusting events after the balance sheet date have material influences on the economic decisions of users of the financial statements, they are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements (Note 27).

2.1.8 Critical Accounting Estimates, Assumptions and Decisions

The evaluation, expectation and estimation of accounting are made by considering past experience, other factors and reasonable expectations for situations in the future. These expectations and estimations may vary even if management made their estimation using their best knowledge. Estimations which can affect assets and liabilities in the next financial reporting period stated below.

a) Useful lives of tangible and intangible fixed assets

Estimated useful lives of tangible and intangible fixed assets are related to the judgement based on experience with similar assets. Future financial benefits derived from assets are essentially the benefits gained from use. However, other factors, such as technical or commercial impairment and wear and tear, generally reduce the financial benefits of assets. Management evaluates the remaining useful lives of the assets based on the current technical status of the assets and the estimated period when the assets will bring benefits to the Group. The following key factors are taken into account: (a) estimated period of use of the assets, (b) estimated physical wear and tear based on operational factors and the maintenance schedule, (c) technical or commercial impairment due to changes in market conditions.

b) Deferred Tax

The Group recognises deferred tax assets and liabilities because of the differences between taxable financial statements and financial statements prepared as per TFRSs published by POA. Deferred tax assets which are partially or wholly recoverable were projected under the current conditions. In the assessment, future profit projections, expire dates of unused tax losses and other tax assets and approaches to be implemented as per tax legislation were considered.

2.1.9 Financial statements of subsidiaries operating abroad

The financial statements of subsidiaries operating abroad have been prepared in accordance with the laws and regulations of the countries in which they operate and have been prepared with adjustments made for the purpose of fair presentation in accordance with Turkish Accounting Standards. In this context, the Group's subsidiaries operating abroad prepare their financial statements in the functional currency Euro, assets and liabilities are translated into Turkish Lira at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the consolidated balance sheet, and income and expenses are translated into Turkish Lira at the average exchange rate. Translation differences resulting from the use of closing and average rates and indexation effects resulting from the indexation of the income statements in accordance with TAS 29 are recognized in other comprehensive income and in equity under the currency translation reserve.

EMRA claim provision

Based on the Investigation Report of EMRA Audit Department dated May 31, 2021 and numbered 381; Although the necessary defenses have been made by our Company in due time in relation to this report, Şah WPP operating within our Company has been subjected to the Investigation Report dated December 30, 2021 on the grounds that excess feed-in-tariff (YEKDEM) income has been obtained in violation of the legislation by exceeding the maximum amount of generation that can be realized hourly with the installed power (electrical) registered in our licenses and provisionally accepted, EMRA board decisions numbered 10696-30 (board decision regarding the warning of the company due to violation of legislation), 10696-31 (board decision regarding the collection of the total amount of YEK by Epiaş), 10696-32 (board decision regarding the warning of the company due to violation of legislation), 10696- 33 (board decision regarding the collection of the total amount of YEK by Epiaş) regarding Mersin WPP. As of December 31, 2022, the Group has carried a total provision of TRY17,147,646 for the related amount.

Between January 1 and May 31, 2022, EPİAŞ deducted the corresponding amount as a retroactive adjustment item from the settlement amount of the relevant months, depending on the repayment plan. In the appeals we filed before the Ankara Administrative Court regarding the annulment of the relevant resolutions, it was decided to suspend the execution of the board resolutions numbered 10696-31 and 10696-33 regarding the collection of the total amount of YEK on July 05 and 18, 2022. The amounts deducted from the settlement amount in the previous periods as a result of these decisions were repaid to our company by EPİAŞ. As a result of the proceedings before the Ankara Administrative Court, the decisions of the Board of Directors numbered 10696-31 and 10696-33 were annulled as unlawful in December 2022. EMRA submitted the district court's decision to the Regional Administrative Court, a higher instance, for review. EMRA's appeal was also rejected, whereupon the decisions in question were appealed to the Council of State. As a result of the appeal, the annulment of the Board decisions became final. This time, however, citing the same investigation report for the same action periods, EMRA stated: "The difference between the unit price paid for each settlement period under YEKDEM and the market clearing price of the relevant settlement period and the lesser of the market clearing price and the marginal price of the fog marginal price and the price calculated on the basis of the production surpluses, together with the interest to be calculated in accordance with Article 1 of the Law No. 3095 on Legal Interest and Default Interest for the period until April 29, 2016, For the period after April 29, 2016, EPİAŞ will collect the amount together with the interest to be calculated in accordance with Article 51 of the Law No. 6183 on the Procedure for Collection of Public Receivables", and two separate board decisions were issued for Şah WPP and Mersin WPP. Authorized for collection, EPİAŞ deducted the amount of TRY 6,861,978.62 as GDDK from the October 2023 settlement amount in one go.

As of December 31, 2023, the Group canceled the provision of TRY 10,406,835 that was booked in December 2021. The local court has issued suspension orders in the reversal cases.

Provisions for employment termination benefits 9,272,917 6,719,173
9,272,917 6,719,173

Except for the following legal obligations of the Group in Turkey. The Group does not have any pension commitments.

Under the Turkish Labour Law, the Group is required to pay termination benefits to each employee who has completed one year of service and whose employment is terminated without due cause, or who is called up for military service, dies and achieves the retirement age. As of 31 December 2023, the maximum amount payable equivalent to one month of salary is TRY 23,489.83 (31 December 2022: TRY 15,371.40) for each year of service. The retirement pay provision ceiling TRY 23,489.83 which is effective from 1 July 2023, is taken into consideration in the calculation of provision for employment termination benefits (31 December 2022: 1 January 2023: TRY 15,371.40).

Provision for employment termination benefits is calculated by estimating the present value of the future probable obligation arising from the retirement of the employees of the Group.

The standard TAS 19 "Employee Benefits" envisages the development of actuarial valuation methods in order to estimate the provision of severance pay. Accordingly, the following actuary estimations were used in the calculation of the provision.

The main assumption is that the maximum liability amount for each year of service will increase in parallel with inflation. Therefore, the discount rate applied represents the expected real rate after adjusting for the anticipated effects of future inflation. Therefore, in the accompanying financial statements as of 31 December 2023, the provisions are calculated by estimating the present value of the future probable obligation arising from the retirement of the employees.

Discount rate applied as 25% (1) (31 December 2022: 10.60%), inflation rate is applied as 6% (31 December 2022: 9.90%) and increase in wages applied as 22% (31 December 2022: 9.90%) in the calculation (2) .

Age of retirement is based on considering the Group's historical average age of retirement;

  • (1) The Turkish government bond market lacks depth and yield volatility is quite high. Therefore, the discount rate and salary increase rate determined by the company were used in the actuarial valuation. It was checked whether the financial assumptions to be used are consistent with the yields on government bonds and treasury bills with maturities of 10 years or more.
  • (2) Calculation of employee termination benefits are determined by considering the 2023 inflation rate reports of the Central Bank of Republic of Turkey.

NOTE 26 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

a) Interest rate risk

The Group is exposed to interest risk because of its interest generating liabilities. As of 31 December 2023 and 31 December 2022, the financial liabilities in the Group mainly consist of fixed rate borrowings.

b) Credit risk

Credit risk involves the risk that counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of their agreements.

These risks are monitored by limiting the aggregate risk to any individual counterparty (excluding related parties) and receiving collateral when needed.

c) Liquidity risk

Conservative liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to close out market positions.

Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying business, the Group aims maintaining flexibility in funding by keeping committed credit lines available.

The following tables detail the Group's remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities and its derivative financial instruments. The tables below have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Company can be required to pay. Interests to be paid over these obligations are included in the table below. Derivative financial liabilities are based on undiscounted net cash inflows and outflows. Forwards are netted for future transactions that are to be paid gross and are realized by using undiscounted gross cash inflows and outflows.

d) Fair value of financial instruments

Fair value is the amount at which a financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation, and is best evidenced by a quoted market price, if one exists.

The estimated fair values of financial instruments are determined by the Group, using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies for each segment of the Group. However, judgment is necessarily required to interpret market data to estimate the fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Group could realize in a current market exchange.

The following methods and assumptions are used in the estimation of the fair value of the financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair value:

Monetary assets

The fair values of balances denominated in foreign currencies, which are translated at the period end exchange rates, are considered to approximate carrying value.

The fair values of certain financial assets carried at amortised cost, including fair values of cash and due from banks are considered to approximate their respective carrying values due to their short-term nature and immateriality of losses on collectability, the fair value of investment securities has been estimated based on the market prices at the statement of financial position dates.

Trade receivables are disclosed at their amortized cost using the effective interest rate method and the carrying values of trade receivables along with the related allowances for collectability are estimated to be at their fair values.

Monetary liabilities

The fair value of bank borrowings and other monetary liabilities are considered to approximate their respective carrying values due to their short-term nature.

Long-term borrowings, which are principally at variable rates, and denominated in foreign currencies, are translated at the period-end exchange rates and accordingly, their fair values approximate their carrying values.

Trade payables are disclosed at their amortized cost using the effective interest rate method and accordingly their carrying amounts approximate their fair values.

(Turkish Lira ("TRY") stated as according to purchasing power of Turkish Lira at 31 December 2023.)

NOTE 26 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)

Long-term borrowings, which are principally at variable rates, and denominated in foreign currencies, are translated at the period-end exchange rates and accordingly, their fair values approximate their carrying values.

Trade payables are disclosed at their amortized cost using the effective interest rate method and accordingly their carrying amounts approximate their fair values.

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities are determined as follows:

  • Level 1: The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities with standard terms and conditions and traded on active liquid markets are determined with reference to quoted market prices.
  • Level 2: The fair value of other financial assets and financial liabilities are determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis using prices from observable current market transactions.
  • Level 3: The fair value of the financial assets and financial liabilities are determined where there is no observable market data.

Based on the fair value hierarchy, the Group's financial assets and liabilities are categorized as follows:

e) Capital risk management

The Group's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group's ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

The Group monitors capital on the basis of the net liability/total equity ratio. Net liability is calculated as the total liability less cash and cash equivalents, derivative instruments and tax liabilities. Total equity is calculated as the total of net liability and the equity as shown in the statement of financial position.
