Key audit mafters
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. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements asa whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.
We have fulflhled the responsibilities described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying financial statements.

Estimates used in cakulation of insurance Iiabilities and Liabflity Adeguacy Test
As explained in Note 2.17 and 15, the Company has signiflcant gross insurance liabilities of TL 2.045 million <TL 1.211 million net) representing 73% of the Company's total equity and Iiabilities. For the estimation of the ultimate liability which is amounting to gross TL 1.046 million arising from daima accounted under insurance contracts, the Company uses actuarial methods. The choice of selected methods and development factors for each accident year of each olasa of business depends on the best estimate of the Company. This is an area that involves significant judgement based on actuarial techniques over uncertain future outcomes.
The Companys IFRS liability adequacy test is a key test performed in order to ensure that insurance contract liabilities, net of deferred acquisition cost, are adequate in the context of expected future cash outfiows. in performing these tests, current best estimates of future contractual cash fiows and claims handling and administration expenses, from the assets backing such liabilities, are used. Any deflciency is immediateiy charged to profit or ioss initialiy by writing off Deferred Acquisition Costs (DAC) and by subsequentiy estabiishing a provision for losses arising from liability adequacy tests.
We engaged our actuarial specialists to assist üs in performing the audit procedures in this area, which included among others:
- Consideration of the appropriateness of assumptions used in the calculation of the calculating Incurred But Not Reported IBNR.
- Consideration of the appropriateness of assumptions for reserve projeotion calculations of Uability Adequacy Test <LAT).
We assessed the Companys validation of certain methods and development factors considered higher risk by the Company as a resuit of compiexity and/or magnitude. For the assumption setting process, we assessed the experience anaiyses performed by the Company. Our assessments alsa included chalienging, as necessary, specified economic and actuarial assumptions considering management's rationale for the actuarial judgements appiied along with comparison to applicable industry experiences. We considered the appropriateness of actuarial judgements used in the actuarial methods, which may vary depending on the each class of business, and also the compliance of the methods with the appiicable accounting standards. Furthermore we performed audit procedures regarding to compieteness of input data used in calculation of the insurance contracts iiabilities accurately. We tested the validity of management's liability adequacy testing which is a key test performed to check that the liabiiities are adequate as compared to the expected future contractual obligations. We aiso assessed the adequacy of the disclosures regarding these liabilities in the financial statements to determine they were in accordance with IFRS.
Deferred Tax Assets
The Company has recorded net deferred tax assets in the financial statements resutting from temporary differences and losses carried forward as disclosed in note 17 of the financial statements. The Company recognizes these deferred tax assets to the extent that it is probable that future taxable proflts wiil allow the deferred tax assets to be recovered. The probabiiity of recovery is impacted by uncertainties regarding the likeiy timing and level of future taxabie proflts, together with tax pianning strategies and the expiration date of losses.
Our audit procedures included, amongst others, evaluating assumptions and methodologies used by the Company to determine the recoverable amount per tax jurisdiction, involving our tax speciaiists. Furthermore, we ascertained that information used was derived from the Company's business pians that have been subject to internai reviews.

Auditor's responsibiitles for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are ta obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial staternents as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due ta fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is nota guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs wili always detect a material rnisstatement when it exists. Misstaternents can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individualiy or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected ta influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticisrn throughout the audit, We alsa:
- Identify and assess the risks of material rnisstatement of the financial statements, whether due ta fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufflcient and appropriate ta provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material rnisstaternent 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.
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circurnstances, 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 managernent'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 rnodify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company ta cease ta continue as a going concern.
- Evaluate the overafl presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial staternents represent the underiying transactions and events in e rnanner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with managernent regarding, arnong other matters, the planned scope and tirning of the audit and signiflcant audit flndings, including any signiflcant deflciencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We alsa provide managernent with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with thern alI relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought ta bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeg uards.

From the matters communicated with management, 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 preoludes public disclosure about the matter Dr when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing sa would reasonabiy be expected ta outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

i) The new standards, amendments and interpretations which are effective as at January 1, 2016 are as follows:
IFRS 11 Acquisition of an Interest in a Joint Operation (Amendment)
IFRS 11 is amended to provide guidance on the accounting for acquisitions of interests in joint operations in which the activity constitutes a business.

2.2 Adoption of New and Revised Standards (Continued)
IAS 16 and IAS 38 - Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortisation (Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38)
The amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38, have prohibited the use of revenue-based depreciation for property, plant and equipment and significantly limiting the use of revenue-based amortisation for intangible assets. The amendments did not have an impact on the financial position or performance of the Company.
IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment and IAS 41 Agriculture (Amendment) – Bearer Plants
IAS 16 is amended to provide guidance that bearer plants, such as grape vines, rubber trees and oil palms should be accounted for in the same way as property, plant and equipment in IAS 16. Once a bearer plant is mature, apart from bearing produce, its biological transformation is no longer significant in generating future economic benefits. The only significant future economic benefits it generates come from the agricultural produce that it creates. Because their operation is similar to that of manufacturing, either the cost model or revaluation model should be applied. The produce growing on bearer plants will remain within the scope of IAS 41, measured at fair value less costs to sell. The amendment is not applicable for the Company and did not have an impact on the financial position or performance of the Company.
IAS 27 Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements (Amendments to IAS 27)
IASB issued an amendment to IAS 27 to restore the option to use the equity method to account for investments in subsidiaries and associates in an entity's separate financial statements. Therefore, an entity must account for these investments either:
- At cost
- In accordance with IFRS 9,
Or
• Using the equity method defined in IAS 28
IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 28: Investment Entities: Applying the Consolidation Exception (Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28)
Amendments issued to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 28, to address the issues that have arisen in applying the investment entities exception under IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements. The amendment is not applicable for the Company and did not have an impact on the financial position or performance of the Company.

Annual Improvements to IFRSs - 2012-2014 Cycle
IASB issued, Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2012-2014 Cycle. The document sets out five amendments to four standards, excluding those standards that are consequentially amended, and the related Basis for Conclusions. The standards affected and the subjects of the amendments are: IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations – clarifies that changes in methods of disposal (through sale or distribution to owners) would not be considered a new plan of disposal, rather it is a continuation of the original plan
- IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures clarifies that i) the assessment of servicing contracts that includes a fee for the continuing involvement of financial assets in accordance with IFRS 7; ii) the offsetting disclosure requirements do not apply to condensed interim financial statements, unless such disclosures provide a significant update to the information reported in the most recent annual report
- IAS 19 Employee Benefits clarifies that market depth of high quality corporate bonds is assessed based on the currency in which the obligation is denominated, rather than the country where the obligation is located
- IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting clarifies that the required interim disclosures must either be in the interim financial statements or incorporated by cross-reference between the interim financial statements and wherever they are included within the interim financial report
These amendments did not have any impact on the financial position or performance of the Company.
ii) Standards issued but not yet effective and not early adopted
Standards, interpretations and amendments to existing standards that are issued but not yet effective up to the date of issuance of the financial statements are as follows. The Company will make the necessary changes if not indicated otherwise, which will be affecting the financial statements and disclosures, when the new standards and interpretations become effective.
IFRS 10 and IAS 28: Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture (Amendments)
Amendments issued to IFRS 10 and IAS 28, to address the acknowledged inconsistency between the requirements in IFRS 10 and IAS 28 in dealing with the loss of control of a subsidiary that is contributed to an associate or a joint venture, to clarify that an investor recognises a full gain or loss on the sale or contribution of assets that constitute a business, as defined in IFRS 3, between an investor and its associate or joint venture. The gain or loss resulting from the re-measurement at fair value of an investment retained in a former subsidiary should be recognised only to the extent of unrelated investors' interests in that former subsidiary. In December 2015, the IASB postponed the effective date of this amendment indefinitely pending the outcome of its research project on the equity method of accounting. Early application of the amendments is still permitted. An entity shall apply those amendments prospectively. The amendment is not applicable for the Company and will not have an impact on the financial position or performance of the Company.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)
2.2 Adoption of New and Revised Standards (Continued)
IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The IASB issued IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The new five-step model in the standard provides the recognition and measurement requirements of revenue. The standard applies to revenue from contracts with customers and provides a model for the sale of some non-financial assets that are not an output of the entity's ordinary activities (e.g., the sale of property, plant and equipment or intangibles). IFRS 15 effective date is January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. Entities will transition to the new standard following either a full retrospective approach or a modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach would allow the standard to be applied beginning with the current period, with no restatement of the comparative periods, but additional disclosures are required. The Company does not expect that the standard will have significant impact on the financial position or performance of the Company.
Clarifications to IFRS 15 'Revenue from Contracts with Customers' (Amendment)
IASB has published final clarifications to IFRS 15 in April 2016. The amendments address three of the five topics identified (identifying performance obligations, principal versus agent considerations, and licensing) and provide some transition relief for modified contracts and completed contracts. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. Earlier application is permitted. The amendment are not applicable for the Company and will not have an impact on the financial position or performance of the Company.
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments
In July 2014, the IASB issued the final version of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. The final version of IFRS 9 brings together all three aspects of the accounting for financial instruments project: classification and measurement, impairment and hedge accounting. IFRS 9 is built on a logical, single classification and measurement approach for financial assets that reflects the business model in which they are managed and their cash flow characteristics. Built upon this is a forward-looking expected credit loss model that will result in more timely recognition of loan losses and is a single model that is applicable to all financial instruments subject to impairment accounting. In addition, IFRS 9 addresses the so-called 'own credit' issue, whereby banks and others book gains through profit or loss as a result of the value of their own debt falling due to a decrease in credit worthiness when they have elected to measure that debt at fair value. The Standard also includes an improved hedge accounting model to better link the economics of risk management with its accounting treatment. IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with early application permitted by applying all requirements of the standard. Alternatively, entities may elect to early apply only the requirements for the presentation of gains and losses on financial liabilities designated as FVTPL without applying the other requirements in the standard.
IFRS 16 Leases
The IASB has published a new standard, IFRS 16 'Leases'. The new standard brings most leases onbalance sheet for lessees under a single model, eliminating the distinction between operating and finance leases. Lessor accounting however remains largely unchanged and the distinction between operating and finance leases is retained. IFRS 16 supersedes IAS 17 'Leases' and related interpretations and is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, with earlier adoption permitted if IFRS 15 'Revenue from Contracts with Customers' has also been applied. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of the standard on financial position or performance of the Company.

2.2 Adoption of New and Revised Standards (Continued)
IAS 12 Income Taxes: Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised Losses (Amendments)
The IASB issued amendments to IAS 12 Income Taxes. The amendments clarify how to account for deferred tax assets related to debt instruments measured at fair value The amendments clarify the requirements on recognition of deferred tax assets for unrealised losses, to address diversity in practice. These amendments are to be retrospectively applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017 with earlier application permitted. However, on initial application of the amendment, the change in the opening equity of the earliest comparative period may be recognised in opening retained earnings (or in another component of equity, as appropriate), without allocating the change between opening retained earnings and other components of equity. If the Company/Group applies this relief, it shall disclose that fact. The amendment are not applicable for the Company and will not have an impact on the financial position or performance of the Company.
IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows (Amendments)
The IASB issued amendments to IAS 7 'Statement of Cash Flows'. The amendments are intended to clarify IAS 7 to improve information provided to users of financial statements about an entity's financing activities. The improvements to disclosures require companies to provide information about changes in their financing liabilities. These amendments are to be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017 with earlier application permitted. When the Company/Group first applies those amendments, it is not required to provide comparative information for preceding periods. The amendment are not applicable for the Company and will not have an impact on the financial position or performance of the Company.

a. the effects of vesting and non-vesting conditions on the measurement of cash-settled share-based payments;
b. share-based payment transactions with a net settlement feature for withholding tax obligations; and c. a modification to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment that changes the classification of the transaction from cash-settled to equity-settled.

IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts (Amendments)
In September 2016, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts. The amendments introduce two approaches: an overlay approach and a deferral approach. The amended Standard will:
a. give all companies that issue insurance contracts the option to recognise in other comprehensive income, rather than profit or loss, the volatility that could arise when IFRS 9 Financial instruments is applied before the new insurance contracts Standard is issued; and
b. give companies whose activities are predominantly connected with insurance an optional temporary exemption from applying IFRS 9 Financial instruments until 2021. The entities that defer the application of IFRS 9 Financial instruments will continue to apply the existing financial instruments Standard—IAS 39.
These amendments are to be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. Earlier application is permitted. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of the amendments on financial position or performance of the Company.
IAS 40 Investment Property: Transfers of Investment Property (Amendments)

The amendment are not applicable for the Company and will not have an impact on the financial position or performance of the Company.
IFRIC 22 Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration
The interpretation clarifies the accounting for transactions that include the receipt or payment of advance consideration in a foreign currency.
The Interpretation states that the date of the transaction for the purpose of determining the exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income is the date on which an entity initially recognises the non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability arising from the payment or receipt of advance consideration. An entity is not required to apply this Interpretation to income taxes; or insurance contracts (including reinsurance contracts) it issues or reinsurance contracts that it holds.
The interpretation is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. Earlier application is permitted. The interpretation is not applicable for the Company and will not have an impact on the financial position or performance of the Company.

Details related to the segment reporting are disclosed in the Note 5.
2.5 Foreign currency translation
The functional currency of the Company is TL. 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 the period end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the income statement.
Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated to Turkish Lira at the rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
Notes to the financial statements as at December 31, 2016 (Amounts expressed in Turkish Lira ("TL") unless otherwise indicated.)
2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
2.5 Foreign currency translation (continued)
Changes in the fair value of monetary securities denominated in foreign currency classified as available for sale are analysed between translation differences resulting from changes in the amortised cost of the security and other changes in the carrying amount of the security. Translation differences related to changes in amortised cost are recognised in profit or loss, and other changes in carrying amount are recognised in equity.
Foreign exchange differences arising from the translation of non monetary financial assets and liabilities are considered as part of the fair value changes and those differences are accounted for in the accounts in which the fair value changes are accounted for.
Foreign currency assets and liabilities are converted by using period end exchange rates of Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey's bid rates. For the conversion of liabilities the exchange rate stated at the contract is used.
The Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey exchange rates used in the conversion is as follows:
| December 31, 2016 | December 31, 2015 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| US Dollar / TL | EUR / TL | US Dollar / TL | Euro / TL | |
| Bid Rates | 3,5192 | 3,7099 | 2,9076 | 3,1776 |
| Ask Rates | 3,5308 | 3,7222 | 2,9128 | 2,1833 |
2.6 Tangible assets
All property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Since lands have infinite life, they are not depreciated. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the tangible assets. For assets that are not ready for use or sale, such assets are depreciated, on the same basis used for other fixed assets, when they are ready to use.
Estimated useful life, residual value, and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.
If there are indicators of impairment on tangible assets, a review is made in order to determine possible impairment and as a result of the review, if an asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, the asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount by accounting for a provision for impairment. Gains and losses on disposals of property and equipment are included in other operational income and expenses accounts.
Assets acquired under finance lease are depreciated as the same basis as tangible assets or, where shorter, the term of the relevant lease.
Gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of tangible assets is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized to profit or loss.
Depreciation periods for tangible assets are presented in the table below:
Useful Life
| Buildings | 40 - 50 years |
|---|---|
| Vehicles | 5 years |
| Fixtures | 10 years |
| Leasehold Improvements | 5 - 10 years |
Notes to the financial statements as at December 31, 2016 (Amounts expressed in Turkish Lira ("TL") unless otherwise indicated.)
2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
2.7 Investment properties
The buildings and lands of the Company held for the purpose of receiving rent or an increase in value or both instead of being used in the operations of the Company or being sold within the normal business course are classified as investment properties. The investment properties are carried at acquisition cost by deducting the accumulated depreciation. Investment properties are amortised by the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. If there are indicators of impairment on investment properties, a review is made in order to determine possible impairment and as a result of this review, if the property's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, the property's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount by accounting for an impairment provision. The recoverable amount is the higher of the future cash inflows from the existing use of the investment property and the fair value of the property after cost of sale. The Company does not have an impairment booking for its investment properties as of December 31, 2016.
Investment properties are derecognized when either they have been disposed of or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal. Any gains or losses on the retirement or disposal of an investment property are recognized in profit or loss in the period of retirement or disposal.
Transfers are made to or from investment property only, when there is a change in use. For a transfer from investment property to owner occupied property, the deemed cost for subsequent accounting is the fair value at the date of change in use. If owner occupied property becomes an investment property, the Company accounts for such property in accordance with the policy applied to "Tangible Assets" up to the date of change in use. Real estates held under finance lease are classified as investment properties. The depreciation period of investment properties is 50 years. Lands is not depreciated.
2.8 Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired
Intangible assets acquired are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Amortization is charged on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Estimated useful life and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.
Computer software
Acquired computer software licenses are capitalized on the basis of the costs incurred from the date of acquisition to the date to bring the specific software in use. These costs are amortized over their estimated useful lives (1 to 10 years).
Costs associated with developing or maintaining computer software programmes are recognized as expense as incurred. Costs that are directly associated with the development of identifiable and unique software products that are controlled by the Company and will probably provide more economic benefits than costs in one year are recognized as intangible assets. Costs include software development employee costs and an appropriate portion of relevant overheads. Computer software development costs recognized as assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives.
Useful life:
| 2016 | 2015 | |
|---|---|---|
| Rights | 5 years | 5 years |
Notes to the financial statements as at December 31, 2016 (Amounts expressed in Turkish Lira ("TL") unless otherwise indicated.)
2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
2.9 Financial assets
The Company classifies and accounts for its financial assets as, "Available-for-sale financial assets" and "Loans and receivables (Premium receivables)". Premium receivables are the receivables arising from insurance agreements and they are classified as financial assets in financial statements.
Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the "settlement date". The classification of these financial assets depends on the purpose for which they were acquired and the Company's management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.
Loans and receivables (Premium receivables):
Loans and receivables are financial assets which are generated by providing money or service to the debtor. Loans and receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at cost. Fees and other charges paid related to assets obtained as guarantee for the above mentioned receivables are not deemed as transaction costs and they are recognised as expense in the income statement.
The Company accounts for a provision for its receivables based on evaluations and estimations of the management. The mentioned provision is deducted from "Premium receivables" on the statement of financial position. The Company sets its estimations in accordance with the risk policies and the principle of prudence by considering the structure of current receivable portfolio, financial structure of policyholders and intermediaries, non-financial data and economical conditions.
Available-for-sale financial assets
Investments other than "financial assets at fair value through profit or loss", and "loans and receivables" are described as available-for-sale financial assets.
Available-for-sale financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value after their recognition. It is considered that the fair value cannot be reliably measured if the price that provides a basis for fair value is not set in active market conditions and "amortised cost value" that is calculated using the effective interest method is used as fair value. Equity securities classified as available-for-sale are carried at fair values if they have quoted market prices in active markets and/or if their fair value can be reliably measured. The equity securities that do not have a quoted market price in an active market, and if their fair value cannot be reliably measured are carried at cost less the provision for impairment.
"Unrealised gains and losses" arising from the change in the fair value of available-for-sale financial assets is accounted for under "Valuation of Financial Assets" account in the shareholders' equity and not reflected in the income statement until the financial asset is sold, disposed or derecognised. The unrealised gains and losses arising from the change in the fair value is removed from shareholders' equity and recognised in the income statement when the financial assets mature or are derecognised. The Company assesses at each statement of financial position date whether there is objective evidence that an available-for-sale financial asset is impaired. In the case of equity investments classified as available-for-sale financial assets, such as, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered as impairment. If any objective evidence for impairment exists for available-for-sale financial assets, the difference between the acquisition cost and current fair value is deducted from shareholders' equity and recognised in the income statement. The impairment losses on available-for-sale equity instruments previously recognised in the profit or loss cannot be reversed through profit or loss.
2.11 Reclassification of financial assets
Financial assets other than loans and receivables are permitted to be reclassified out of the held-fortrading category only in rare circumstances arising from a single event that is unusual and highly unlikely to recur in the near-term. In addition, the Company may choose to reclassify financial assets that would meet the definition of loans and receivables out of the held-for-trading or available-for-sale categories if the Company has the intention and ability to hold these financial assets for the foreseeable future or until maturity at the date of reclassification.

2.17 Insurance and investment contracts
Insurance contracts are contracts under which, in exchange for a premium, the insurer assumes the obligation to compensate a loss caused by the materialization of the danger (risk) having the consequence of harming the interest, measurable by money, of the concerned person or make payment or to fulfill other performances linked to the lifetime of one or several persons or upon the occurrence of some events in the course of their life.
The insurer can take out reinsurance, under conditions as it thinks appropriate, in respect of the interest it had covered.
Insurance contracts are accounted when the insurance risk is transferred, and classified as an insurance contract as of the maturity date and/or amortization of the all contractual rights and liabilities.
The main contracts produced by the Company are mainly in non-life branches such as motor own damage, motor third party liability, fire, marine, accident, engineering, health and agriculture insurance agreements.
The fire insurance agreements are classified as industrial and individual. The policyholder is insured for the physical losses and claims due to the risks such as fire, earthquake, bursting, flood. The policyholder is insured for losses caused by the complete or partial interruption of the operations as a result of an event covered by the insurance contract with loss of profit coverage. Casualty insurance contracts (Liability, Personal Accident and Motor) have two main purposes. These contracts protect the insured against the risk of damage of assets and against the risk of causing harm to third parties.
Marine insurance contracts contain insurance of transportation (vessels, or vehicles on land or air) and water vehicles (the payment for the claims occurred in sea, river and island vehicles). Engineering insurance contracts are subdivided into two groups. The contracts covering permanently installed risks for an indefinite period, and the contracts covering temporary, non-recurring risks. The first group consists of insurance protection against sudden and unforeseen damages or losses of the machines, mechanical equipment, plants and electronic equipments. The second group provides installation and construction insurance of which coverage is naturally limited with the guarantee period of installation and construction. Liability insurance contracts provide claims due to the air crafts, water crafts and land vehicles liability. Furthermore, the Company has major production of the animal life and publicly supported agriculture insurances which are included in general loss insurance contracts. Health insurance contracts are the contracts that pay benefits an insured who becomes ill or injured, provided that documentation is offered to confirm the illness or injury.
Unearned Premium Reserve
Unearned premium reserve is calculated on a daily basis for all policies in force as of statement of financial position date for unearned portions of premiums written, except for marine premiums issued before 14 June 2007. During the calculation of unearned portion of premiums written on a daily basis, it is supposed that the policies start at 12:00 noon and end at 12:00 noon again. Unearned premium reserve and the reinsurers' share of the unearned premium reserve for policies, are calculated and recorded as the deferred portion of the accrued premiums related to the policies in force and ceded premiums to reinsurers without deducting commissions or any other deduction, on a daily and gross basis. For cargo insurance policies with unspecified termination date, unearned premium reserve is accounted for as the 50% of premiums written in the last three months.
Notes to the financial statements as at December 31, 2016 (Amounts expressed in Turkish Lira ("TL") unless otherwise indicated.)
2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
Deferred Commission Expense and Income
Unearned portion of commissions paid to agencies for the written premiums and commissions received from reinsurers for the ceded premiums are recorded as in deferred acquisition costs on the statement of financial position, and as expenses for the acquisition of insurance contracts on a net basis in the income statement.
Liability Adequacy Test
At each end of the reporting period, liability adequacy tests are performed to ensure the adequacy of the contract liabilities net of related DAC assets. In performing these tests, current best estimates of future contractual cash flows and claims handling and administration expenses, from the assets backingsuch liabilities, are used. Any deficiency is immediately charged to profit or loss initially by writing off DAC and by subsequently establishing a provision for losses arising from liability adequacy tests (the unexpired risk provision). Long-term insurance contracts with fixed terms are measured based on assumptions set out at the inception of the contract. When the liability adequacy test requires the adoption of new best estimate assumptions, such assumptions (without margins for adverse deviation) are used for the subsequent measurement of these liabilities. Any DAC written off as a result of this test cannot subsequently be reinstated. At each statement of financial position date, liability adequacy tests are performed to ensure the adequacy of the contract liabilities. In performing these tests, current best estimates of future cash flows are used. The adequacy of the unearned premium liability is assessed by considering the portion of the estimated value of claims and expenses, likely to arise after the end of the reporting period from existing contracts, that exceeds the provision for unearned premiums after deduction of any acquisition costs. Any deficiency is immediately charged to profit or loss. The assessment, whether a deficiency exists is made at the Company level since all insurance products are regarded as being managed together and there are no constraints on the ability to use assets held in relation to each line of business to meet any of the associated liabilities. For the purpose of calculating the additional provision, the Company does not take into account the investment return expected to be earned by investments held. The Company accounts additional reserves for the branches that the combined loss ratio calculated is higher than 100%.
Outstanding claims provision
Claims are charged to income as incurred based on the estimated liability for compensation owed to contract holders or third parties damaged by the contract holders. They include settlement costs and arise from events that have occurred up to the statement of financial position date even if they have not yet been reported to the Company. Outstanding claims are estimated using the input of assessments for individual cases reported and statistical analyses. The expected ultimate cost of claims is also affected by external factors such as court decisions.
Claims are payable on a claims-occurrence basis. The Company is liable for all insured events that occurred during the term of the contract, even if the loss is discovered after the end of the contract term. There are several variables that affect the amount and timing of cash flows from these contracts. These mainly relate to the inherent risks of the business activities carried out by individual contract holders and the risk management procedures they adopted.
For the estimation of the ultimate liability arising from claims made under insurance contracts, the Company uses Bornhuetter Ferguson ("BF"), Chain-Ladder and Frequency and Severity methods. The method for MTPL is based on frequency and severity method, for the rest of the branches are selected by applying weighted average incurred ultimate results of Chain-Ladder method and incurred or average of paid and incurred ultimate results of Bornhuetter Ferguson method are used for the estimation of ultimate liabilities. It involves the analysis of historical claim development factors based on historical pattern and also loss ratio is considered in BF method.

Outstanding claims provision (continued)
The appropriate development factors are then applied to cumulative claims data for each accident year that is not yet fully developed to produce an estimated ultimate claim cost for each accident year. The choice of selected factors for each accident year of each class of business depends on the best estimate of the Company. Considering the uncertainty about the amount and timing of claims, the Company made the estimation of claims development considering starting from the year of 2003 and a tail factor is used for some branches for future developments. The Company performs the ultimate liability estimation for large claims separately which are determined as large claims by using certain statistical methods since these claims have different claim development patterns. Additionally, the ultimate liability calculations are performed on gross basis and the net amounts are determined according to historical ceding rates on each accident quarter or applicable reinsurance treaties are applied to ultimate losses for each branch. A provision is calculated and accounted for unallocated loss adjustment expenses ("ULAE") refer to general overhead expenses associated with the claimshandling process, and particularly the costs of investigating, handling, paying, and resolving claims. The estimation for ULAE is calculated using the rate of historical expenses to total claim amounts. The methods which were selected by the Company for each branch, the results of related calculations as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the methods to calculate net of reinsurance results and the limits which are used for the big claims eliminations are disclosed in Note 15.
Reinsurance agreements
Reinsurance agreements are the agreements enforced by the Company and the reinsurer, in exchange for a certain compensation, to cede the premiums and losses which may occur in relation to one or more insurance policies produced by the Company.
The Company has excess of loss, surplus and proportional quota-share agreements in accordance with the branches in which it operates. Within the framework of excess of loss agreements, the ceded premiums are accounted for on accrual basis over the relevant period. The revenues and liabilities due to premium and claim ceded under other annual reinsurance agreements are also accounted for on the same basis.
The Company has surplus reinsurance agreement in fire, marine, engineering and other accident branches and annual proportional quota-share reinsurance agreement for motor branches. Besides, The Company has excess of loss agreements in fire, marine and engineering branches.
Motor quota-share agreement is based on the transfer of written premiums and paid claims during the period covered by the agreement, and portfolio transfer is performed for premium and outstanding claim reserves by the end of each period. For surplus agreements, which work on a run-off basis, the liability of the reinsurers continue for the underwriting year at the policy period when the claim occurred.
In addition, the Company has facultative reinsurance agreements signed separately for certain risks based on certain policies.

Effectiveness of hedge transaction has been measured and evaluated in each reporting period.
3. Critical accounting estimates and judgements
Preparation of financial statements requires the use of estimations and assumptions which may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the statement of financial position date and reported amounts of income and expenses during the financial period. Accounting estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under current circumstances. Although the estimations and assumptions are based on the best knowledge of the management for existing events and operations, they may differ from the actual results.
- The estimation of the ultimate liability for technical expenses that can be incurred for the existing insurance contracts is the one of the most critical accounting estimates. Estimation of the insurance liabilities, by nature, includes the evaluation of several uncertainties. Accounting policies regarding technical reserves are disclosed in Note 2.17.
- The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based upon temporary differences arising between its financial statements as reported for International Accounting Standards (IAS) purposes and its statutory tax financial statements. The accounting policies regarding to deferred tax are disclosed in Note 2.21 and 17.

The accounting policies regarding to employee termination benefits are disclosed in Note 2.22 and 19.
4. Management of insurance and financial risk
Insurance risk
Insurance risk is the probability of risk exposure that is covered under any insurance contracts and the uncertainty of the magnitude of the claims in relation to the risk exposed. Due to the nature of insurance transactions, risks are incidental and hard to anticipate. Maximum risk that the Company bears is limited to the coverage amount specified in the insurance contract.
The Company has adopted central risk assessment policy and this policy is applied in relation to the Company's specified operations and limitations. On principle, in risk assessment, potential claims are measured based on the past experience, similar risk comparisons and risks in relation to production process. Location, geographical area, field of activity and fire and theft measures are also key issues used in the assessment of the insured risk.

iii. Price risk
The Company is exposed to price risk due to its investments in fair value price of debt securities. Securities are held for strategical purposes rather than trading purposes. These investments are not actively traded by the Company.
As of the reporting date, if data used in the valuation method is increased/decreased by 10% and all variables remain fixed, since the Company's equity investments are classified as available for sale assets and if they are not disposed of or impaired, net profit/loss would not be affected.

(b) Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of their agreements. Credit risk is managed by guarantees received and procedures applied for the selection of the counterparties. Limits and guarantees are determined based on the assessment of the respective party's financial ability and trading capacity. The Company is exposed to credit risk in Turkey because it mainly performs its operations in Turkey.
As of December 31, 2016, the Company has presented its receivables from insurance operations, guarantees received for these receivables and provision for doubtful receivables in Note 8. Reinsurance is utilized to manage insurance risk. This does not, however, discharge the Company's liability as primary insurer. If a reinsurer fails to pay a claim for any reason, the Company remains liable for the payment to the policyholder. The creditworthiness of reinsurers is considered on an annual basis by reviewing their financial strength prior to finalization of any contract. Company's credit risk management process is primarily evaluated in the stage of determining of reinsurance companies. Reinsurance placements are covered by reinsurers whose credibility is checked and agreements made in this regard are approved by Board of Directors. Total credit risk of the Company as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 are TL 1.767.515.401 and TL 1.621.241.123 respectively.

Fair value of the financial assets
Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's length transaction in accordance with market conditions.
The Company determines the estimated fair value of its financial instruments by using the current market information and appropriate valuation methods. Additionally, ability to estimate the market values through assessing the market information requires interpretation and judgment. As a result, the estimations presented herein cannot be an indicator of the amounts obtained by the Company in a current market transaction.
Fair Value Hierarchy
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. Fair value measurements are performed in accordance with the following fair value measurement hierarchy.
- Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
- Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices).
- Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that is not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs).

19. Provision for retirement benefit obligation
| December 31, 2016 | December 31, 2015 | |
|---|---|---|
| Provision for employment termination benefits | 6.335.367 | 6.474.170 |
| Total | 6.335.367 | 6.474.170 |
Under the terms of Turkish Labor Law, the Company is required to pay employment termination benefits to each employee who has qualified for such payment. Also, employees are entitled to retirement pay provisions subsequent to the completion of their retirement period by gaining a right to receive retirement payments in accordance with the amended Article 60 of the applicable Social Insurance Law No: 506 and the related Decrees No: 2422 and 4447 issued on 6 March 1981 and August 25, 1999, respectively. Some transitional provisions related to pre-retirement service term was excluded from the law since the related law was amended as of May 23, 2002.
Employee termination benefits provisions are legally not a subject of funding. The provision has been calculated by estimating the present value of the future probable obligation of the Company arising from the retirement of employees. IAS 19 ("Employee Benefits") requires actuarial valuation methods to be developed to estimate the enterprise's obligation under defined benefit plans. Accordingly, the following actuarial assumptions were used in the calculation of the total liability:
The principal assumption is that the maximum liability for each year of service will increase parallel with inflation. Thus, the discount rate applied represents the expected real rate after adjusting for the anticipated effects of future inflation. Consequently, in the accompanying financial statements as at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the provision has been calculated by estimating the present value of the future probable obligation of the Company arising from the retirement of the employees. As of December 31, 2016, the provisions at the respective balance sheet dates have been calculated assuming an annual inflation rate of 8,53% (December 31, 2015: %8,81) and a discount rate of 10,91% (December 31, 2015: 10,71%), resulting in a real interest rate of 2% (December 31, 2015: 2%). The anticipated rate of forfeitures is considered and estimated rate of the Company's retirement pay is also taken into account.
However, during this estimation, the employee termination benefits mentioned in subparagraph 5 of paragraph 1 of article 14 of the Labor Law numbered 1475 to be made in accordance with other conditions excluding the ages stipulated in clauses (a) and (b) of subparagraph A of paragraph one of article 60 of the Law numbered 506 or due to termination of employees on their own will after having completed the insurance period required for retirement pension (15 years) and the number of premium payment days (3600 days) have been excluded from the payments to be incurred by the Company.
The effect of estimation changes in the calculation of employee termination benefits is amounting to TL 4.340.507 and has been accounted to actuarial loss arising from employee benefit under equity.
As the maximum liability is updated semi-annually, the maximum amount of TL 4.426,16 effective from January 1, 2016 has been taken into consideration in calculation of provision from employment termination benefits (As of January 1, 2015, the ceiling on severance pay is TL 4.092,53 per month).
Movement of employee termination benefits provisions are presented in the statement below:
| 2016 | 2015 | |
|---|---|---|
