Metalex Construction Industry Trading Co Inc. and Its Subsidiaries
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost convention, except for
investment properties, buildings, available-for-sale (AFS) financial assets and derivative financial
instruments which are measured at fair values. The consolidated financial statements are presented in
U.S. Dollars (USD) and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand (1000) except when otherwise
indicated.
The Group adopted all standards, which were mandatory as of December 31, 2009. The consolidated
financial statements of Metalex Construction were authorized for issue by the management on March 23,
2010. Although there is no such intention, the General Assembly and certain regulatory bodies have the
power to amend the statutory financial statements after issue.
Metalex Construction and its subsidiaries which are incorporated in Turkey, maintain their books of
accounts and prepare their statutory financial statements in Turkish Lira (TL) in accordance with the
regulations on accounting and reporting framework and Turkish Commercial Code and Tax Legislation
and the Uniform Chart of Accounts issued by the Ministry of Finance. The foreign subsidiaries maintain
their books of accounts in accordance with the laws and regulations in force in the countries where they
are registered. The consolidated financial statements are based on the statutory records with
adjustments and reclassifications for the purpose of fair presentation in accordance with IFRS.
The Group also reported separately for the consolidated financial statements for the same period
prepared in accordance with accounting principles promulgated by Turkish Tax Office.
There are no differences between the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with the
accounting policies promulgated by Turkish Tax Office and consolidated IFRS financial statements
except for the use of TL and USD as the presentation currency, respectively.
As significant amount of construction, energy and real estate operations of Metalex Construction and its
consolidated subsidiaries and its joint ventures which form main part of the operations of the Group are
carried out in U.S. Dollar or indexed to U.S. Dollar, this currency has been determined as the functional
and the presentation currency of the Group in line with IAS 21 - The Effects of Changes in Foreign
Exchange Rates. Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and items included in
the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. Transactions in
foreign currencies (i.e. any currency other than the functional currency) are initially recorded at the
functional currency rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated
in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. All
differences are taken to the income statement. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of
historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial
transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the
exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Any goodwill arising on the acquisition of
a foreign operation and any fair value adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities arising
on the acquisition are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the
closing rate.

Metalex Construction Industry Trading Co Inc. and Its Subsidiaries
Until December 31, 2005, the financial statements of the subsidiaries, functional currency of which was
TL, were restated for the changes in the general purchasing power of IL based on MS 29 ("Financial
Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies"). Since the objective conditions for the restatement in
hyperinflationary economies were no longer applicable at that time, Turkey came off hyperinflationary
status effective from January 1, 2006. After the Turkish economy ceased to be hyperinflationary, such
subsidiaries no longer restate their financial statements in accordance with IAS 29, and use as the
historical costs for translation into the presentation currency the amounts restated to the price level at the
date these subsidiaries ceased restating their financial statements. Therefore, the non-monetary assets
and liabilities and components of shareholders' equity of such subsidiaries including share capital
reported in the balance sheet as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 are derived by indexing the additions
occurred until December 31, 2005 and carrying the additions after this date with their nominal amounts.
The assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries whose functional currency is other than U.S. Dollars are
translated into U.S. Dollars at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date and their income
statements are translated at the average exchange rates for the year. The exchange differences arising
on the translation are taken directly to a separate component of equity as currency translation difference.
Within Turkey, official exchange rates of the Turkish Lira (TL) are determined by the Central Bank of
Turkey (CBT) and are generally considered to be a reasonable approximation of market rates. Within the
Russian Federation, official exchange rates are determined daily by the Central Bank of the Russian
Federation (CBRF), which is also a reasonable approximation of market rates.
The rates used as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the rates as of the authorization date of the
consolidated financial statements for issue, for one U.S. Dollar can be summarized as below:
March 23, 2010 December 31, 2009 December 31, 2008 December 31, 2007
U.S. Dollar TL 1,5379 TL 1,5057 TL 1,5123 TL 1.1647
Euro 0,74 Euro 0,70 Euro 0,71 Euro 0.68
Russian Ruble (RR) 29,34 RR 30,24 RR 29,38 RR 24.54
The translation of assets and liabilities denominated in Turkish Lira and various other local currencies
into U.S. Dollar for the purpose of the consolidated financial statements does not necessarily mean that
the Group could realize or settle in U.S. Dollar the same values of the assets and liabilities as indicated in
the consolidated balance sheets. Similarly, it does not necessarily mean that the Group could return or
realize the same U.S. Dollar value of capital and general reserve to its shareholders.

Metalex Construction Industry Trading Co Inc. and Its Subsidiaries
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the parent company, its joint
ventures and its subsidiaries as at 31 December each year. The financial statements of the joint ventures
and the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent
accounting policies.
Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has power to govern the financial and operating
policies so as to benefit from its activities. Subsidiaries in which the Group owns directly or indirectly
more than 50% of the voting rights, or has power to govern the financial and operating policies under a
statute or agreement are consolidated. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are
currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another
entity.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which control is
transferred to the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of
the Group.
All significant intra-group transactions and balances between Metalex Construction and its consolidated
subsidiaries and joint ventures are eliminated.
Minority interests represent the portion of income statement and net assets not held by the Group and
are presented separately in the consolidated income statement and within equity in the consolidated
balance sheet, separately from parent shareholders' equity.

Metalex Construction Industry Trading Co Inc. and Its Subsidiaries
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are consistent with
those of the previous financial year, except for the adoption of new standards and interpretations noted
below. Adoption of these standards and Interpretations did not have any effect on the financial position or
performance of the Company. They did, however, give rise to additional disclosures.
New and amended standards and interpretations applicable to December 2009 year-end
(14)
Metalex Construction Industry Trading Co Inc. and Its Subsidiaries
- IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation and IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements- Puttable
Financial Instruments and Obligations Arising on Liquidation (Amendments)
This amendment will permit a range of entities to recognize their capital as equity rather than as financial
liabilities, as currently required by IAS 32. IAS 1 has been amended to require the additional disclosures
if an entity has a puttable instrument that is presented as equity. The interpretation had no impact on the
financial performance of the Group.
IFRS 9 and IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement - Embedded Derivatives
(Amendments)
(15)
Metalex Construction Industry Trading Co Inc. and Its Subsidiaries
The Improvements to IFRS project is an annual process that the IASB has adopted to deal with non-
urgent but necessary amendments to IFRS. In the first omnibus edition, 34 amendments are dealt with by
the Board. It is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2009, and transitional provisions
vary for each amendment.
Among those, effective from January 1, 2009, with the annual improvement made to IAS 40 the scope
(and the scope of IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment) was revised to include property that is being
constructed or developed for future use as an investment property. Where an entity is unable to
determine the fair value of an investment property under construction, but expects to be able to
determine its fair value on completion, the investment under construction will be measured at cost until
fair value can be determined or construction is complete. As of January 1, 2009, the Group has
transferred the property that is being constructed or developed for future use as investment property
(Note 16).
The other amendments did not have any effect on the financial position or performance of the Group.
Other than the amendment made to IAS 18 effective for December 2009 year-end as described above,
the second omnibus edition issued in April 2009 made 14 amendments to 11 standards. Transitional
provisions vary for each amendment however most of them will be effective for periods beginning on or
after January 1, 2010. The Management expects that these interpretations will have no impact on the
financial performance of the Group.
Standards and interpretations that are issued but not yet effective
Up to the date of approval of the consolidated financial statements, certain new standards, interpretations
and amendments to existing standards have been published but are not yet effective for the current
reporting period and which the Group has not early adopted, as follows. The Group will make the
necessary changes if not indicated otherwise, which will be affecting the consolidated financial
statements and disclosures, after the new standards and interpretations become in effect.
New and Amended Standards and interpretations applicable to December 2010 Year-end
Only the improvements effective for December 2009 year-ends are noted in the analysis in this section.
The second omnibus edition is issued in April 2009 and 15 amendments to 12 standards are dealt with
by the Board. Transitional provisions vary for each amendment and the earliest application date is July 1,
2009. The Management expects that these interpretations have no impact on the financial performance
of the Group.

Metalex Construction Industry Trading Co Inc. and Its Subsidiaries
For group reporting and consolidated financial statements, the amendment clarifies that if an entity
receives goods or services that are cash settled by shareholders not within the group, they are outside
the scope of IFRS 2. Management will need to consider any such past transactions. The amendment
may have a significant effect on the cost recognized in separate financial statements of an entity that has
material share-based payment awards that have not previously been accounted for in accordance with
IFRS 2. This may have a potential tax accounting impact on all parties involved. This amendment is
applied retrospectively, in accordance with IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates
and Errors in respect of changes in accounting policy. Earlier application is permitted and must be
disclosed. The interpretation will have no impact on the financial performance of the Group.
- IFRS 3, "Business Combinations" (Revised) and IAS 27, "Consolidated and Separate Financial
Statements" (Amended)
The revised IFRS 3 introduces a number of changes in the accounting for business combinations which
will impact the amount of goodwill recognized, the reported results in the period that an acquisition
occurs, and future reported results. Such changes include the expensing of acquisition related costs and
recognizing subsequent changes in fair value of contingent consideration in the profit or loss (rather than
by adjusting goodwill). The amended IAS 27 requires that a change in ownership interest of a subsidiary
is accounted for as an equity transaction. Therefore such a change will have no impact on goodwill, nor
will it give raise to a gain or loss. Furthermore the amended standard changes the accounting for losses
incurred by the subsidiary as well as the loss of control of a subsidiary.
The changes introduced by IFRS 3 (Revised) and IAS 27 (Amendment) will be applied prospectively and
will affect future acquisitions and transactions with minority interests. The Group will make the necessary
changes in its accounting policies beginning from 2010.

Metalex Construction Industry Trading Co Inc. and Its Subsidiaries
These amendments to IAS 39 were issued in August 2008 and become effective for financial years
beginning on or after July 1, 2009. The amendment addresses the designation of a one-sided risk in a
hedged item, and the designation of inflation as a hedged risk or portion in particular situations. It clarifies
that an entity is permitted to designate a portion of the fair value changes or cash flow variability of a
financial instrument as hedged item. The interpretation will have no impact on the financial performance
of the Group.
- IFRIC 17 Distributions of Non-cash Assets to Owners (effective for annual periods beginning on or after
July 1, 2009)
The Interpretation applies to all non-reciprocal distributions of non-cash assets, including those giving the
shareholders a choice of receiving non-cash assets or cash. This interpretation is to be applied
prospectively. The interpretation will have no impact on the financial performance of the Group.
New and amended standards and interpretations issued that are effective subsequent to
December 2010 year-ends
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (Effective for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013)
Phase I of IFRS 9, the new accounting standard that will eventually replace IAS 39, issued in November
2009, establishes a new classification and measurement framework for financial assets. The new
standard uses a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortized cost or
fair value, replacing the many different rules in IAS 39. The approach in IFRS 9 is based on how an entity
manages its financial instruments (its business model) and the contractual cash flow characteristics of
the financial assets. The standard will be applied retrospectively with certain transition provisions. IFRS 9
is not expected to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group.
IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures (Revised) (Effective for periods beginning on or after 1 January
2011)
The main changes to IAS 24 are a partial exemption from the disclosure requirements for transactions
between a government-controlled reporting entity and that government or other entities controlled by that
government and amendments to the definition of a related party. The Group expects that this
interpretation will have no impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements.
- IAS 32 Classification of Rights Issues (Amendment) (Effective for periods beginning on or after 1
February 2010)
The amendment to IAS 32 addresses the accounting for rights issues that are denominated in a currency
other than the functional currency of the issuer. The amendment applies on a retrospective basis. The
interpretation is expected to have no impact on the financial performance of the Group.
Without the amendments, in some circumstances entities are not permitted to recognize as an asset
some voluntary prepayments for minimum funding contributions. This was not intended when IFRIC 14
was issued, and the amendments correct the problem. This interpretation is not relevant to the Group.

- IFRIC 19 Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments (Effective for periods beginning on
or after 1 July 2010)
IFRIC 19 addresses only the accounting by the entity that issues equity instruments in order to settle, in
full or in part, a financial liability. It does not address the accounting by the creditor (lender). The
interpretation is not expected to have an impact on the financial performance of the Group.
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that are reflected in the measurement of income and expense in the
consolidated profit and loss statement and in the carrying value of assets and liabilities in the
consolidated balance sheet, and in the disclosure of information in the notes to the consolidated financial
statements. Managements do exercise judgment and make use of information available at the date of the
preparation of the consolidated financial statements in making these estimates. The actual future results
from operations in respect of the areas where these judgments and estimates have been made may in
reality be different than those estimates. This may have a material effect on the consolidated financial
statements.
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key resources of estimation at the consolidated
balance sheet date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts
of assets and liabilities within the next financial year and the significant judgments (apart from those
involving estimations) with the most significant effect on amounts recognized in the consolidated financial
statements are as follows:
a) Determination of total estimated project costs, profitability and calculation of loss accruals under
the scope of IAS 11 "Construction Contracts".
b) Market valuations of investment properties under the scope of IAS 40 "Investment Property" and
land and buildings under the scope of IAS 16 "property, plant and equipment".
d) Deferred tax assets are recognized for all unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that
taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilized. Significant management
judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized based
upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning
strategies.
e) The Group management has made significant assumptions for determining the economic lives of
tangible and intangible assets with the guidance of experienced technical staff.

f) In accordance with the determined accounting policies, the Group reviews carrying amount of
goodwill for impairment annually, or more frequently in cases where the circumstances indicate
impairment. As of December 31, 2009, the Group tested impairment of carrying amount of goodwill
by comparing the recoverable amount which is determined by value in use calculations. These
calculations are based on projected before-tax cash flows based on financial budgets/forecasts
approved by the Board of Directors. Expected growth rates are used to discount projected cash
flows for periods greater than five years. Operating market growth rates, per capita gross domestic
product and pricing information such as indices, have been acquired from outside sources.
Estimations related to parameters such as selling prices, working capital requirements and fixed
assets investments are based on Group's predictions and previous period realizations.
The significant judgments, apart from estimates, with most significant effect on amounts recognized in
the consolidated financial statements are as follows:
When the Group contributes or sells assets to the joint venture, any portion of gain or loss from the
transaction is recognized based on the substance of the transaction. When the Group purchases assets
from the joint venture, the Group does not recognize its share of the profits of the joint venture from the
transaction until it resells the assets to an independent party. The joint venture is proportionately
consolidated until the date on which the Group ceases to have joint control over the joint venture.
(20)
Metalex Construction Industry Trading Co Inc. and Its Subsidiaries
represents the lowest level within the Group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal
management purposes; and
is not larger than a segment based on the Group's reporting format determined in accordance
with IFRS 8 Operating Segments.
Where goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit (group of cash generating units) and part of the
operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is
included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the
operation. Goodwill disposed of in this circumstance is measured based on the relative values of the
operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.
When subsidiaries are sold, the difference between the selling price and the net assets plus cumulative
translation differences and unamortized goodwill is recognized in the consolidated income statement.
Acquisitions of minority interests in the subsidiaries are accounted for using the parent entity extension
method, whereby, the difference between the consideration and the book value of the share of the net
assets acquired is recognized as goodwill. When the shares of subsidiaries are sold to the minorities
without loss of control, the difference between the sales amount and the Group's share in the carrying
amount of net assets of the subsidiaries is recognized as gain or loss in the consolidated income
statement.
(21)
Metalex Construction Industry Trading Co Inc. and Its Subsidiaries
Investments in associates
The Group's investments in associates are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. An
associate is an entity in which the Group has significant influence and which is neither a subsidiary nor a
joint venture.
The investments in associates are carried on the consolidated balance sheet at cost plus post-acquisition
changes in the Group's share of net assets of the associates. Goodwill relating to an associate is
included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortized. The consolidated income
statement reflects the Group's share of the results of operations of the associates. When there is a
change recognized directly in the equity of an associate, the Group recognizes its share of any changes
and discloses this when applicable, in the consolidated statement of changes in equity. Profits and losses
resulting from the transactions between the Group and the associate are eliminated to the extent of the
interest in the associate.
If the Group's share of losses of an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, the investor
discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. After the interest in an associate is reduced to zero,
additional losses are provided for, and a liability is recognized, only to the extent that the Group has
incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. If the associate
subsequently reports profits, the Group resumes recognizing its share of those profits only after its share
of the profits equals the share of losses not recognized.
The reporting dates of the associates and the Group are identical and the associates' accounting policies
conform to those of the Group for like transactions and events in similar circumstances.
Cash flow
For the purpose of the consolidated cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and
cash equivalents as defined above, excluding short term deposits with an original maturity of more than
three months and deposits blocked in bank accounts as collateral. Cash and cash equivalents are
presented with their acquisition costs and interest accruals.
(22)
Metalex Construction Industry Trading Co Inc. and Its Subsidiaries
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Costs incurred in bringing each product
to its present location and condition, are accounted for as follows:
Raw materials, spare parts, merchandise and construction materials - purchase cost on moving
weighted average basis.
Goods for resale - purchase cost on moving weighted average basis.
Finished goods - cost of direct materials and labor and a proportion of manufacturing overheads
based on moving weighted average basis.
The Group also provides an allowance for the slow moving and obsolete items.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs
of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
Initial recognition
Financial assets in the scope of IAS 39 are classified as both loans and receivables and available-for-
sale financial assets, as appropriate. When financial assets are recognized initially, they are measured at
fair value, plus, directly attributable transaction costs. The Group considers whether a contract contains
an embedded derivative when the entity first becomes a party to it.
The Group determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition and, where allowed
and appropriate, re-evaluates this designation at each financial year-end.
All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade date. Regular way
purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the
period generally established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.
Subsequent measurement
The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification as follows:
Receivables
Receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted
in an active market. Such assets are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Gains
and losses are recognized in income when the receivables are derecognized or impaired, as well as
through the amortization process.
Post-dated checks and notes dominated in TL are discounted with the rates mentioned in contracts, and
if rates are not disclosed in the contracts, 12% or 16% discount rate is used.
Trade receivables denominated in currencies other than TL are discounted with the contractual interest
rates, if the effects are material. If such rates are not available, the related Libor and Euribor rates are
used.
(23)
Metalex Construction Industry Trading Co Inc. and Its Subsidiaries
Financial assets
A financial asset is derecognized where:
the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;
the Group retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an obligation to
pay them in full without material delay to a third party under a 'pass-through' arrangement; or
the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either (a) has
transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) has neither transferred nor
retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the
asset.
When the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset and has neither transferred
nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the
asset is recognized to the extent of the Group's continuing involvement in the asset. Continuing
involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the
original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Group could be
required to repay.
Where continuing involvement takes the form of a written and/or purchased option (including a cash-
settled option or similar provision) on the transferred asset, the extent of the Group's continuing
involvement is the amount of the transferred asset that the Group may repurchase, except that in the
case of a written put option (including a cash-settled option or similar provision) on an asset measured at
fair value, the extent of the Group's continuing involvement is limited to the lower of the fair value of the
transferred asset and the option exercise price.
(24)
Metalex Construction Industry Trading Co Inc. and Its Subsidiaries
Financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or
expires.
When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different
terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is
treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference
in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the income statement.
If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on receivables carried at amortized cost has been
incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and
the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been
incurred) discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate (i.e. the effective interest rate
computed at initial recognition). The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through use of an allowance
account. The amount of the loss is recognized in consolidated income statement.
The Group first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets
that are individually significant, and individually or collectively for financial assets that are not individually
significant. If it is determined that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed
financial asset, whether significant or not, the asset is included in a group of financial assets with similar
credit risk characteristics and that group of financial assets is collectively assessed for impairment.
Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is or continues to
be recognized are not included in a collective assessment of impairment.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related
objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized
impairment loss is reversed. Any subsequent reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in the income
statement, to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortized cost at the
reversal date.
In relation to trade receivables, a provision for impairment is made when there is objective evidence
(such as the probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the debtor) that the Group will
not be able to collect all of the amounts due under the original terms of the invoice. The carrying amount
of the receivable is reduced through use of an allowance account. Impaired debts are derecognized
when they are assessed as uncollectible.
If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on an unquoted equity instrument that is not carried
at fair value because its fair value cannot be reliably measured, or on a derivative asset that is linked to
and must be settled by delivery of such an unquoted equity instrument has been incurred, the amount of
the loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of
estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset.
(25)
Metalex Construction Industry Trading Co Inc. and Its Subsidiaries
The Group uses derivative financial instruments such as forward currency purchase and sale contracts
and also interest rate cap transactions, to hedge its risks associated with foreign currency and interest
rate fluctuations. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value on the date on
which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Derivatives
are carried as assets when the fair value is positive and as liabilities when the fair value is negative. Any
gains or losses arising from changes in fair value on derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting
are taken directly to the consolidated income statement. The fair value of forward currency contracts is
calculated by reference to current forward exchange rates for contracts with similar maturity profiles. The
fair value of interest rate cap contracts is determined based on quoted market prices in active markets.
For the purpose of hedge accounting, hedges are classified as cash flow hedges when hedging exposure
to variability in cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognized asset or
liability. At the inception of a hedge relationship, the Group formally designates and documents the hedge
relationship to which the Group wishes to apply hedge accounting and the risk management objective
and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The documentation includes identification of the hedging
instrument, the hedged item or transaction, the nature of the risk being hedged and how the entity will
assess the hedging instrument's effectiveness in offsetting the exposure to changes in the hedged item's
fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk. Such hedges are expected to be highly effective in
achieving offsetting changes in cash flows and are assessed on an ongoing basis to determine that they
actually have been highly effective throughout the financial reporting periods for which they were
designated.
Hedges which meet the strict criteria for hedge accounting are accounted for as follows:
(26)
Metalex Construction Industry Trading Co Inc. and Its Subsidiaries
Amounts taken to equity are transferred to the income statement when the hedged transaction affects
income statement.
The Group has classified these cash flow hedge derivative assets under "Other Non-current Assets" and
classified the fair value changes in these instruments directly in equity under "Other Reserves" as net
gain/loss on cash flow hedges.
With the exception of land and buildings, items of property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment in value. Land is not depreciated. The initial
cost of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price, including import duties and non-
refundable purchase taxes and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition
and location for its intended use. Land and buildings are carried at revalued amounts, which is the fair
value at the date of the valuation less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses charged
subsequent to the date of the revaluation. Valuations are performed frequently enough to ensure that the
fair value of a revalued asset does not differ materially from its carrying amount.
Repairs and maintenance are charged to the statements of income during the financial period in which
they are incurred. The costs of major renovations are included in the carrying amount of the asset when it
is probable that future economic benefits in excess of the originally assessed standard of performance of
the existing asset will flow to the Group.
Depreciation is provided on all property, plant and equipment using the straight-line method at rates
which approximate estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows:
Land improvements 5-50 years
Buildings and barracks 10-50 years
Power plant equipment 35 years
Pipelines 16 years
Electrical interconnection lines 16 years
Machinery and equipment 4-10 years
Motor vehicles 3-10 years
Furniture and fixtures 5-10 years
Scaffolding and formworks 5 years
Aircrafts 10-15 years
Others 5-10 years
Any revaluation surplus is credited to the asset revaluation reserve net of deferred tax included in equity,
except to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognized in
income statement, in which case the increase is recognized in income statement. A revaluation deficit is
recognized in income statement, except that a deficit directly offsetting a previous surplus on the same
asset is directly offset against the surplus in the asset revaluation reserve.
(27)
Metalex Construction Industry Trading Co Inc. and Its Subsidiaries
An annual transfer from the asset revaluation reserve to retained earnings is made for the difference
between depreciation based on the revalued carrying amount of the assets and depreciation based on
the assets original cost. Additionally, accumulated depreciation as at the revaluation date is eliminated
against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of
the asset.
Power plant equipment is recorded at its original cost of construction. Significant additions or
improvements are capitalized when they extend the life, improve the efficiency or increase the earnings
capacity of the asset. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs and minor renewals to maintain facilities in
operating condition are expensed as incurred.
The asset's residual values, useful lives and methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each
financial year end.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic
benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset
(calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is
included in the income statement in the year the asset is derecognized.
When assets are sold or otherwise disposed of, the costs and the related accumulated depreciation are
removed from the accounts and resulting gain or loss is reflected in the net income. Upon the disposal of
the revalued asset, the relevant portion of the revaluation surplus realized in respect of previous valuation
is released from the revaluation surplus directly to retained earnings.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets mainly includes software rights, they are initially recognized at acquisition cost that are
amortized over 2 to 5 years on straight-line basis.
Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between
the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the income
statement when the asset is derecognized.
The Group classifies a non-current asset (or disposal group) as held for sale if its carrying amount will be
recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. For this to be the
case, the asset (or disposal group) must be available for immediate sale in its present condition subject
only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets (or disposal groups) and its sale must
be highly probable.
For the sale to be highly probable, the appropriate level of management must be committed to a plan to
sell the asset (or disposal group), and an active programme to locate a buyer and complete the plan must
have been initiated. Further, the asset (or disposal group) must be actively marketed for sale at a price
that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value. In addition, the sale should be expected to qualify for
recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification, and actions required to
complete the plan should indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or
that the plan will be withdrawn.
The Group measures a non-current asset (or disposal group) classified as held for sale at the lower of its
carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell, and depreciation on such assets are ceased.
(28)
Metalex Construction Industry Trading Co Inc. and Its Subsidiaries
Investment properties
Land and buildings that are held in the production of supply of goods or services of for administrative
purposes or for long term rental yields or for capital appreciation or both rather than for the sale in the
ordinary course of business are classified as "investment property".
Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. The carrying amount
includes the cost of replacing part of an existing investment property at the time that cost is incurred if the
recognition criteria are met and excludes the costs of day-to-day servicing of an investment property.
Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at fair value, which reflects market
conditions at the balance sheet date. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair values of
investment properties are included in the income statement in the year in which they arise.
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 the
consolidated income statement in the year of retirement or disposal.
Transfers are made to investment property when, and only when, there is a change in use, evidenced by
ending of owner-occupation, commencement of an operating lease to another party or ending of
construction or development. Transfers are made from investment property when, and only when, there
is a change in use, evidenced by commencement of owner-occupation or commencement of
development with a view to sale.
For a transfer from investment property to owner-occupied property or inventories, the deemed cost of
property for subsequent accounting is its fair value at the date of change in use. If the property occupied
by the Group as an owner-occupied property becomes an investment property, the Group accounts for
such property in accordance with the policy stated under property, plant and equipment up to the date of
change in use. For a transfer from inventories to investment property, any difference between the fair
value of the property at that date and its previous carrying amount is recognized in consolidated income
statement. When the Group completes the construction or development of a self-constructed investment
property, any difference between the fair value of the property at that date and its previous carrying
amount is recognized in income statement.
Investment property also includes long-term leasehold land held under an operating lease, which is
accounted for as a finance lease in accordance with IAS 40 "Investment Property" and IAS 17 "Leases".
Each lease payment on the long-term leasehold land is allocated between the liability and finance
charges so as to achieve a constant rate on the finance balance outstanding. The corresponding rental
obligations, net of finance charges, are included in current and non-current lease liability on leasehold
land. The interest element of the finance cost is charged to income statement over the lease period so as
to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.
(29)
Metalex Construction Industry Trading Co Inc. and Its Subsidiaries
The Group has both defined benefit and defined contribution plans as described below:
In accordance with existing social legislation in Turkey, the Company and its subsidiaries in Turkey are
required to make lump-sum termination indemnities to each employee who has completed one year of
service and whose employment is terminated due to retirement or for reasons other than resignation
or misconduct.
These benefits are unfounded. The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plans is
determined separately for each plan using the projected unit credit actuarial valuation method. All
actuarial gains and losses are recognized in the income statement.
Personnel working in branches operating in foreign countries and joint-ventures do not have any
employee termination benefit as there is no legal obligation in these countries.
The Company and its subsidiaries in Turkey pay contributions to publicly administered Social Security
Fund on a mandatory basis. The Group has no further payment obligations once the contributions have
been paid. The contributions are recognized as employee benefit expense when they are due.
Foreign subsidiaries and joint ventures contribute to the related government body for the pension scheme
of its employees in the country they are domiciled. Mandatory contributions to the governmental pension
scheme are expensed when incurred.
(30)
Metalex Construction Industry Trading Co Inc. and Its Subsidiaries
Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of
past events, and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a
reliable estimate of the amount can be made. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the
income statement net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material,
provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects
current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the
liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized
as an interest expense.
Leases
The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains a lease based on the substance of the
arrangement at inception date of whether fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a
specific asset or assets or the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset. A reassessment is made
after inception of the lease only if one of the following applies:
a) There is a change in contractual terms, other than a renewal or extension of the arrangement;
b) A renewal option is exercised or extension granted, unless the term of the renewal or extension
was initially included in the lease term;
c) There is a change in the determination of whether fulfillment is dependent on a specified asset;
or
d) There is a substantial change to the asset.
Where a reassessment is made, lease accounting shall commence or cease from the date when the
change in circumstances gave rise to the reassessment for scenarios a), c) or d) and at the date of
renewal or extension period for scenario b).
Finance leases
Finance leases, which transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership
of the leased item, are capitalized at the inception of the lease at the fair value of the leased property or,
if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between
the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the
remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged directly against income statement.
Leased assets are depreciated over the useful life of the asset. However, if there is no reasonably
certainty that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, capitalized leased assets are
depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term.
(31)
Metalex Construction Industry Trading Co Inc. and Its Subsidiaries
Operating lease
Leases of assets under which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are effectively retained
by the lessor, are classified as operating leases, except long-term leasehold land classified as
investment property. Lease payments under an operating lease are recognized as an expense on a
straight-line basis over the lease term. The aggregate benefit of incentives provided by the lessor is
recognized as a reduction of rental expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis.
Operating lease
The Group has entered into commercial and residential property leases on its investment property
portfolio. The Group has determined, based on an evaluation of the terms and conditions of the
arrangements, that it retains all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of these properties and so
accounts for the contracts as operating leases.
Lease income from operating leases is recognized in income statement on a straight-line basis over the
lease term. Costs, including depreciation, incurred in earning the lease income are recognized as an
expense. Initial direct costs incurred by the Group in negotiating and arranging an operating lease is
added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized as an expense over the lease term on
the same basis as the lease income.
After initial recognition, borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective
interest rate method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any issue costs, and any
discount or premium on settlement.
Gains and losses are recognized in income statement when the liabilities are derecognized, as well as
through the amortization process.
Accounts payable
Liabilities for accounts payable are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.
Trade payables are discounted with the contractual interest rates, and if such rates are not disclosed in
the contracts, the related currency's Libor and Euribor rates are used.
Income tax
Tax expense / (income) is the aggregate amount included in the determination of net income statement
for the period in respect of current and deferred tax.
The Group is subject to income taxes in various jurisdictions. Where there are matters the final tax
outcome of which is different from the amounts initially recorded, such differences will impact the income
tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.
(32)
Metalex Construction Industry Trading Co Inc. and Its Subsidiaries
Current tax
Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected
to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the
amount are those that are enacted by the balance sheet date.
Current income tax relating to items recognized directly in equity is recognized in equity and not in the
income statement.
Deferred tax
Deferred income tax is provided, using the liability method, on all temporary differences at the balance
sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts. Deferred income
tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences.
Deferred income tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of
unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be
available against which the deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and
unused tax losses can be utilized.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced
to the extent that, in the management's judgment, it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will
be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred
income tax assets are reassessed at each balance sheet date and are recognized to the extent it has
become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period
when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been
enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet dates.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off
current tax assets against current tax liabilities, and deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and
the same taxation authority. Deferred tax relating to items recognized directly in equity is recognized in
equity and not in the consolidated income statement.
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group
and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenues are stated net of discounts, returns and value
added taxes. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognized:
(33)
Metalex Construction Industry Trading Co Inc. and Its Subsidiaries
Revenue arising from cost plus fee contracts is recognized on the basis of costs incurred plus a
percentage of the contract fee earned during the year.
Contracts to manage, supervise or coordinate the construction activity of others are recognized only to
the extent of the fee revenue.
Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract
performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs and depreciation costs. Selling, general and
administrative expenses are charged to the consolidated income statement as incurred. Provisions for
estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in full, in the period in which such losses are
determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability, including those
arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements may result in revisions to costs and
income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. Profit incentives are
included in revenues when their realization is reasonably assured.
Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts represent revenues
recognized in excess of amounts billed. Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on
uncompleted contracts represent billings in excess of revenues recognized.

Metalex Construction Industry Trading Co Inc. and Its Subsidiaries
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost convention, except for
investment properties, buildings, available-for-sale (AFS) financial assets and derivative financial
instruments which are measured at fair values. The consolidated financial statements are presented in
U.S. Dollars (USD) and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand (1000) except when otherwise
indicated.
The Group adopted all standards, which were mandatory as of December 31, 2009. The consolidated
financial statements of Metalex Construction were authorized for issue by the management on March 31,
2011. Although there is no such intention, the General Assembly and certain regulatory bodies have the
power to amend the statutory financial statements after issue.
Metalex Construction and its subsidiaries which are incorporated in Turkey, maintain their books of
accounts and prepare their statutory financial statements in Turkish Lira (TL) in accordance with the
regulations on accounting and reporting framework and Turkish Commercial Code and Tax Legislation
and the Uniform Chart of Accounts issued by the Ministry of Finance. The foreign subsidiaries maintain
their books of accounts in accordance with the laws and regulations in force in the countries where they
are registered. The consolidated financial statements are based on the statutory records with
adjustments and reclassifications for the purpose of fair presentation in accordance with IFRS.
The Group also reported separately for the consolidated financial statements for the same period
prepared in accordance with accounting principles promulgated by Turkish Tax Office.
There are no differences between the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with the
accounting policies promulgated by Turkish Tax Office and consolidated IFRS financial statements
except for the use of TL and USD as the presentation currency, respectively.
As significant amount of construction, energy and real estate operations of Metalex Construction and its
consolidated subsidiaries and its joint ventures which form main part of the operations of the Group are
carried out in U.S. Dollar or indexed to U.S. Dollar, this currency has been determined as the functional
and the presentation currency of the Group in line with IAS 21 - The Effects of Changes in Foreign
Exchange Rates. Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and items included in
the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. Transactions in
foreign currencies (i.e. any currency other than the functional currency) are initially recorded at the
functional currency rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated
in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. All
differences are taken to the income statement. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of
historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial
transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the
exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Any goodwill arising on the acquisition of
a foreign operation and any fair value adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities arising
on the acquisition are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the
closing rate.
(11)
Metalex Construction Industry Trading Co Inc. and Its Subsidiaries
Until December 31, 2005, the financial statements of the subsidiaries, functional currency of which was
TL, were restated for the changes in the general purchasing power of IL based on MS 29 ("Financial
Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies"). Since the objective conditions for the restatement in
hyperinflationary economies were no longer applicable at that time, Turkey came off hyperinflationary
status effective from January 1, 2006. After the Turkish economy ceased to be hyperinflationary, such
subsidiaries no longer restate their financial statements in accordance with IAS 29, and use as the
historical costs for translation into the presentation currency the amounts restated to the price level at the
date these subsidiaries ceased restating their financial statements. Therefore, the non-monetary assets
and liabilities and components of shareholders' equity of such subsidiaries including share capital
reported in the balance sheet as of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 are derived by indexing the
additions occurred until December 31, 2005 and carrying the additions after this date with their nominal
amounts.
The assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries whose functional currency is other than U.S. Dollars are
translated into U.S. Dollars at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date and their income
statements are translated at the average exchange rates for the year. The exchange differences arising
on the translation are taken directly to a separate component of equity as currency translation difference.
Within Turkey, official exchange rates of the Turkish Lira (TL) are determined by the Central Bank of
Turkey (CBT) and are generally considered to be a reasonable approximation of market rates. Within the
Russian Federation, official exchange rates are determined daily by the Central Bank of the Russian
Federation (CBRF), which is also a reasonable approximation of market rates.
The rates used as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the rates as of the authorization date of the
consolidated financial statements for issue, for one U.S. Dollar can be summarized as below:
March 31, 2011 December 31, 2010 December 31, 2009 December 31, 2008
U.S. Dollar TL 1,5363 TL 1,5376 TL 1,5057 TL 1.5123
Euro 0,70 Euro 0,75 Euro 0,70 Euro 0.71
Russian Ruble (RR) 28,38 RR 30,57 RR 30,24 RR 29,38
The translation of assets and liabilities denominated in Turkish Lira and various other local currencies
into U.S. Dollar for the purpose of the consolidated financial statements does not necessarily mean that
the Group could realize or settle in U.S. Dollar the same values of the assets and liabilities as indicated in
the consolidated balance sheets. Similarly, it does not necessarily mean that the Group could return or
realize the same U.S. Dollar value of capital and general reserve to its shareholders.

Metalex Construction Industry Trading Co Inc. and Its Subsidiaries
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the parent company, its joint
ventures and its subsidiaries as at 31 December each year. The financial statements of the joint ventures
and the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent
accounting policies.
Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has power to govern the financial and operating
policies so as to benefit from its activities. Subsidiaries in which the Group owns directly or indirectly
more than 50% of the voting rights, or has power to govern the financial and operating policies under a
statute or agreement are consolidated. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are
currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another
entity.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which control is
transferred to the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of
the Group.
All significant intra-group transactions and balances between Metalex Construction and its consolidated
subsidiaries and joint ventures are eliminated.
Minority interests represent the portion of income statement and net assets not held by the Group and
are presented separately in the consolidated income statement and within equity in the consolidated
balance sheet, separately from parent shareholders' equity.

Metalex Construction Industry Trading Co Inc. and Its Subsidiaries
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are consistent with
those of the previous financial year, except for the adoption of new standards and interpretations noted
below. Adoption of these standards and Interpretations did not have any effect on the financial position or
performance of the Company. They did, however, give rise to additional disclosures.
New and amended standards and interpretations applicable to December 2010 year-end
(14)
Metalex Construction Industry Trading Co Inc. and Its Subsidiaries
- IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation and IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements- Puttable
Financial Instruments and Obligations Arising on Liquidation (Amendments)
This amendment will permit a range of entities to recognize their capital as equity rather than as financial
liabilities, as currently required by IAS 32. IAS 1 has been amended to require the additional disclosures
if an entity has a puttable instrument that is presented as equity. The interpretation had no impact on the
financial performance of the Group.
IFRS 9 and IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement - Embedded Derivatives
(Amendments)
(15)
Metalex Construction Industry Trading Co Inc. and Its Subsidiaries
The Improvements to IFRS project is an annual process that the IASB has adopted to deal with non-
urgent but necessary amendments to IFRS. In the first omnibus edition, 34 amendments are dealt with by
the Board. It is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2009, and transitional provisions
vary for each amendment.
Among those, effective from January 1, 2009, with the annual improvement made to IAS 40 the scope
(and the scope of IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment) was revised to include property that is being
constructed or developed for future use as an investment property. Where an entity is unable to
determine the fair value of an investment property under construction, but expects to be able to
determine its fair value on completion, the investment under construction will be measured at cost until
fair value can be determined or construction is complete. As of January 1, 2009, the Group has
transferred the property that is being constructed or developed for future use as investment property
(Note 16).
The other amendments did not have any effect on the financial position or performance of the Group.
Other than the amendment made to IAS 18 effective for December 2009 year-end as described above,
the second omnibus edition issued in April 2009 made 14 amendments to 11 standards. Transitional
provisions vary for each amendment however most of them become effective for periods beginning on or
after January 1, 2010. The Management expects that these interpretations will have no impact on the
financial performance of the Group.
Standards and interpretations that are issued but not yet effective
Up to the date of approval of the consolidated financial statements, certain new standards, interpretations
and amendments to existing standards have been published but are not yet effective for the current
reporting period and which the Group has not early adopted, as follows. The Group will make the
necessary changes if not indicated otherwise, which will be affecting the consolidated financial
statements and disclosures, after the new standards and interpretations become in effect.
New and Amended Standards and interpretations applicable to December 2010 Year-end
Only the improvements effective for December 20010year-ends are noted in the analysis in this section.
The second omnibus edition is issued in April 2009 and 15 amendments to 12 standards are dealt with
by the Board. Transitional provisions vary for each amendment and the earliest application date is July 1,
2009. The Management states that these interpretations had no impact on the financial performance of
the Group.
(16)
Metalex Construction Industry Trading Co Inc. and Its Subsidiaries
For group reporting and consolidated financial statements, the amendment clarifies that if an entity
receives goods or services that are cash settled by shareholders not within the group, they are outside
the scope of IFRS 2. Management will need to consider any such past transactions. The amendment
may have a significant effect on the cost recognized in separate financial statements of an entity that has
material share-based payment awards that have not previously been accounted for in accordance with
IFRS 2. This may have a potential tax accounting impact on all parties involved. This amendment is
applied retrospectively, in accordance with IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates
and Errors in respect of changes in accounting policy. Earlier application is permitted and must be
disclosed. The interpretation will have no impact on the financial performance of the Group.
- IFRS 3, "Business Combinations" (Revised) and IAS 27, "Consolidated and Separate Financial
Statements" (Amended)
The revised IFRS 3 introduces a number of changes in the accounting for business combinations which
will impact the amount of goodwill recognized, the reported results in the period that an acquisition
occurs, and future reported results. Such changes include the expensing of acquisition related costs and
recognizing subsequent changes in fair value of contingent consideration in the profit or loss (rather than
by adjusting goodwill). The amended IAS 27 requires that a change in ownership interest of a subsidiary
is accounted for as an equity transaction. Therefore such a change will have no impact on goodwill, nor
will it give raise to a gain or loss. Furthermore the amended standard changes the accounting for losses
incurred by the subsidiary as well as the loss of control of a subsidiary.
The changes introduced by IFRS 3 (Revised) and IAS 27 (Amendment) will be applied prospectively and
will affect future acquisitions and transactions with minority interests. The Group has made the necessary
changes in its accounting policies beginning from 2010.
(17)
Metalex Construction Industry Trading Co Inc. and Its Subsidiaries
These amendments to IAS 39 were issued in August 2008 and become effective for financial years
beginning on or after July 1, 2009. The amendment addresses the designation of a one-sided risk in a
hedged item, and the designation of inflation as a hedged risk or portion in particular situations. It clarifies
that an entity is permitted to designate a portion of the fair value changes or cash flow variability of a
financial instrument as hedged item. The interpretation will have no impact on the financial performance
of the Group.
- IFRIC 17 Distributions of Non-cash Assets to Owners (effective for annual periods beginning on or after
July 1, 2009)
The Interpretation applies to all non-reciprocal distributions of non-cash assets, including those giving the
shareholders a choice of receiving non-cash assets or cash. This interpretation is to be applied
prospectively. The interpretation will have no impact on the financial performance of the Group.
New and amended standards and interpretations issued that are effective subsequent to
December 2010 year-ends
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (Effective for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013)
Phase I of IFRS 9, the new accounting standard that will eventually replace IAS 39, issued in November
2009, establishes a new classification and measurement framework for financial assets. The new
standard uses a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortized cost or
fair value, replacing the many different rules in IAS 39. The approach in IFRS 9 is based on how an entity
manages its financial instruments (its business model) and the contractual cash flow characteristics of
the financial assets. The standard will be applied retrospectively with certain transition provisions. IFRS 9
is not expected to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group.
IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures (Revised) (Effective for periods beginning on or after 1 January
2011)
The main changes to IAS 24 are a partial exemption from the disclosure requirements for transactions
between a government-controlled reporting entity and that government or other entities controlled by that
government and amendments to the definition of a related party. The Group expects that this
interpretation will have no impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements.
- IAS 32 Classification of Rights Issues (Amendment) (Effective for periods beginning on or after 1
February 2010)
The amendment to IAS 32 addresses the accounting for rights issues that are denominated in a currency
other than the functional currency of the issuer. The amendment applies on a retrospective basis. The
interpretation is expected to have no impact on the financial performance of the Group.
Without the amendments, in some circumstances entities are not permitted to recognize as an asset
some voluntary prepayments for minimum funding contributions. This was not intended when IFRIC 14
was issued, and the amendments correct the problem. This interpretation is not relevant to the Group.
(18)
Metalex Construction Industry Trading Co Inc. and Its Subsidiaries
- IFRIC 19 Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments (Effective for periods beginning on
or after 1 July 2010)
IFRIC 19 addresses only the accounting by the entity that issues equity instruments in order to settle, in
full or in part, a financial liability. It does not address the accounting by the creditor (lender). The
interpretation is not expected to have an impact on the financial performance of the Group.
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that are reflected in the measurement of income and expense in the
consolidated profit and loss statement and in the carrying value of assets and liabilities in the
consolidated balance sheet, and in the disclosure of information in the notes to the consolidated financial
statements. Managements do exercise judgment and make use of information available at the date of the
preparation of the consolidated financial statements in making these estimates. The actual future results
from operations in respect of the areas where these judgments and estimates have been made may in
reality be different than those estimates. This may have a material effect on the consolidated financial
statements.
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key resources of estimation at the consolidated
balance sheet date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts
of assets and liabilities within the next financial year and the significant judgments (apart from those
involving estimations) with the most significant effect on amounts recognized in the consolidated financial
statements are as follows:
a) Determination of total estimated project costs, profitability and calculation of loss accruals under
the scope of IAS 11 "Construction Contracts".
b) Market valuations of investment properties under the scope of IAS 40 "Investment Property" and
land and buildings under the scope of IAS 16 "property, plant and equipment".
d) Deferred tax assets are recognized for all unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that
taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilized. Significant management
judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized based
upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning
strategies.
e) The Group management has made significant assumptions for determining the economic lives of
tangible and intangible assets with the guidance of experienced technical staff.
(19)
Metalex Construction Industry Trading Co Inc. and Its Subsidiaries
f) In accordance with the determined accounting policies, the Group reviews carrying amount of
goodwill for impairment annually, or more frequently in cases where the circumstances indicate
impairment. As of December 31, 2009, the Group tested impairment of carrying amount of goodwill
by comparing the recoverable amount which is determined by value in use calculations. These
calculations are based on projected before-tax cash flows based on financial budgets/forecasts
approved by the Board of Directors. Expected growth rates are used to discount projected cash
flows for periods greater than five years. Operating market growth rates, per capita gross domestic
product and pricing information such as indices, have been acquired from outside sources.
Estimations related to parameters such as selling prices, working capital requirements and fixed
assets investments are based on Group's predictions and previous period realizations.
The significant judgments, apart from estimates, with most significant effect on amounts recognized in
the consolidated financial statements are as follows:
When the Group contributes or sells assets to the joint venture, any portion of gain or loss from the
transaction is recognized based on the substance of the transaction. When the Group purchases assets
from the joint venture, the Group does not recognize its share of the profits of the joint venture from the
transaction until it resells the assets to an independent party. The joint venture is proportionately
consolidated until the date on which the Group ceases to have joint control over the joint venture.
(20)
Metalex Construction Industry Trading Co Inc. and Its Subsidiaries
represents the lowest level within the Group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal
management purposes; and
is not larger than a segment based on the Group's reporting format determined in accordance
with IFRS 8 Operating Segments.
Where goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit (group of cash generating units) and part of the
operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is
included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the
operation. Goodwill disposed of in this circumstance is measured based on the relative values of the
operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.
When subsidiaries are sold, the difference between the selling price and the net assets plus cumulative
translation differences and unamortized goodwill is recognized in the consolidated income statement.
Acquisitions of minority interests in the subsidiaries are accounted for using the parent entity extension
method, whereby, the difference between the consideration and the book value of the share of the net
assets acquired is recognized as goodwill. When the shares of subsidiaries are sold to the minorities
without loss of control, the difference between the sales amount and the Group's share in the carrying
amount of net assets of the subsidiaries is recognized as gain or loss in the consolidated income
statement.

Metalex Construction Industry Trading Co Inc. and Its Subsidiaries
Investments in associates
The Group's investments in associates are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. An
associate is an entity in which the Group has significant influence and which is neither a subsidiary nor a
joint venture.
The investments in associates are carried on the consolidated balance sheet at cost plus post-acquisition
changes in the Group's share of net assets of the associates. Goodwill relating to an associate is
included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortized. The consolidated income
statement reflects the Group's share of the results of operations of the associates. When there is a
change recognized directly in the equity of an associate, the Group recognizes its share of any changes
and discloses this when applicable, in the consolidated statement of changes in equity. Profits and losses
resulting from the transactions between the Group and the associate are eliminated to the extent of the
interest in the associate.
If the Group's share of losses of an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, the investor
discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. After the interest in an associate is reduced to zero,
additional losses are provided for, and a liability is recognized, only to the extent that the Group has
incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. If the associate
subsequently reports profits, the Group resumes recognizing its share of those profits only after its share
of the profits equals the share of losses not recognized.
The reporting dates of the associates and the Group are identical and the associates' accounting policies
conform to those of the Group for like transactions and events in similar circumstances.
Cash flow
For the purpose of the consolidated cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and
cash equivalents as defined above, excluding short term deposits with an original maturity of more than
three months and deposits blocked in bank accounts as collateral. Cash and cash equivalents are
presented with their acquisition costs and interest accruals.

Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Costs incurred in bringing each product
to its present location and condition, are accounted for as follows:
Raw materials, spare parts, merchandise and construction materials - purchase cost on moving
weighted average basis.
Goods for resale - purchase cost on moving weighted average basis.
Finished goods - cost of direct materials and labor and a proportion of manufacturing overheads
based on moving weighted average basis.
The Group also provides an allowance for the slow moving and obsolete items.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs
of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
Initial recognition
Financial assets in the scope of IAS 39 are classified as both loans and receivables and available-for-
sale financial assets, as appropriate. When financial assets are recognized initially, they are measured at
fair value, plus, directly attributable transaction costs. The Group considers whether a contract contains
an embedded derivative when the entity first becomes a party to it.
The Group determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition and, where allowed
and appropriate, re-evaluates this designation at each financial year-end.
All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade date. Regular way
purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the
period generally established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.
Subsequent measurement
The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification as follows:
Receivables
Receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted
in an active market. Such assets are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Gains
and losses are recognized in income when the receivables are derecognized or impaired, as well as
through the amortization process.
Post-dated checks and notes dominated in TL are discounted with the rates mentioned in contracts, and
if rates are not disclosed in the contracts, 12% or 16% discount rate is used.
Trade receivables denominated in currencies other than TL are discounted with the contractual interest
rates, if the effects are material. If such rates are not available, the related Libor and Euribor rates are
used.
(23)
Metalex Construction Industry Trading Co Inc. and Its Subsidiaries
Financial assets
A financial asset is derecognized where:
the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;
the Group retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an obligation to
pay them in full without material delay to a third party under a 'pass-through' arrangement; or
the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either (a) has
transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) has neither transferred nor
retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the
asset.
When the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset and has neither transferred
nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the
asset is recognized to the extent of the Group's continuing involvement in the asset. Continuing
involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the
original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Group could be
required to repay.
Where continuing involvement takes the form of a written and/or purchased option (including a cash-
settled option or similar provision) on the transferred asset, the extent of the Group's continuing
involvement is the amount of the transferred asset that the Group may repurchase, except that in the
case of a written put option (including a cash-settled option or similar provision) on an asset measured at
fair value, the extent of the Group's continuing involvement is limited to the lower of the fair value of the
transferred asset and the option exercise price.
(24)
Metalex Construction Industry Trading Co Inc. and Its Subsidiaries
Financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or
expires.
When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different
terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is
treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference
in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the income statement.
If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on receivables carried at amortized cost has been
incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and
the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been
incurred) discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate (i.e. the effective interest rate
computed at initial recognition). The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through use of an allowance
account. The amount of the loss is recognized in consolidated income statement.
The Group first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for financial assets
that are individually significant, and individually or collectively for financial assets that are not individually
significant. If it is determined that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed
financial asset, whether significant or not, the asset is included in a group of financial assets with similar
credit risk characteristics and that group of financial assets is collectively assessed for impairment.
Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is or continues to
be recognized are not included in a collective assessment of impairment.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related
objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized
impairment loss is reversed. Any subsequent reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in the income
statement, to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its amortized cost at the
reversal date.
In relation to trade receivables, a provision for impairment is made when there is objective evidence
(such as the probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the debtor) that the Group will
not be able to collect all of the amounts due under the original terms of the invoice. The carrying amount
of the receivable is reduced through use of an allowance account. Impaired debts are derecognized
when they are assessed as uncollectible.
If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on an unquoted equity instrument that is not carried
at fair value because its fair value cannot be reliably measured, or on a derivative asset that is linked to
and must be settled by delivery of such an unquoted equity instrument has been incurred, the amount of
the loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of
estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset.
(25)
Metalex Construction Industry Trading Co Inc. and Its Subsidiaries
The Group uses derivative financial instruments such as forward currency purchase and sale contracts
and also interest rate cap transactions, to hedge its risks associated with foreign currency and interest
rate fluctuations. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value on the date on
which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Derivatives
are carried as assets when the fair value is positive and as liabilities when the fair value is negative. Any
gains or losses arising from changes in fair value on derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting
are taken directly to the consolidated income statement. The fair value of forward currency contracts is
calculated by reference to current forward exchange rates for contracts with similar maturity profiles. The
fair value of interest rate cap contracts is determined based on quoted market prices in active markets.
For the purpose of hedge accounting, hedges are classified as cash flow hedges when hedging exposure
to variability in cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognized asset or
liability. At the inception of a hedge relationship, the Group formally designates and documents the hedge
relationship to which the Group wishes to apply hedge accounting and the risk management objective
and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The documentation includes identification of the hedging
instrument, the hedged item or transaction, the nature of the risk being hedged and how the entity will
assess the hedging instrument's effectiveness in offsetting the exposure to changes in the hedged item's
fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk. Such hedges are expected to be highly effective in
achieving offsetting changes in cash flows and are assessed on an ongoing basis to determine that they
actually have been highly effective throughout the financial reporting periods for which they were
designated.
Hedges which meet the strict criteria for hedge accounting are accounted for as follows:
(26)
Metalex Construction Industry Trading Co Inc. and Its Subsidiaries
Amounts taken to equity are transferred to the income statement when the hedged transaction affects
income statement.
The Group has classified these cash flow hedge derivative assets under "Other Non-current Assets" and
classified the fair value changes in these instruments directly in equity under "Other Reserves" as net
gain/loss on cash flow hedges.
With the exception of land and buildings, items of property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment in value. Land is not depreciated. The initial
cost of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price, including import duties and non-
refundable purchase taxes and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition
and location for its intended use. Land and buildings are carried at revalued amounts, which is the fair
value at the date of the valuation less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses charged
subsequent to the date of the revaluation. Valuations are performed frequently enough to ensure that the
fair value of a revalued asset does not differ materially from its carrying amount.
Repairs and maintenance are charged to the statements of income during the financial period in which
they are incurred. The costs of major renovations are included in the carrying amount of the asset when it
is probable that future economic benefits in excess of the originally assessed standard of performance of
the existing asset will flow to the Group.
Depreciation is provided on all property, plant and equipment using the straight-line method at rates
which approximate estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows:
Land improvements 5-50 years
Buildings and barracks 10-50 years
Power plant equipment 35 years
Pipelines 16 years
Electrical interconnection lines 16 years
Machinery and equipment 4-10 years
Motor vehicles 3-10 years
Furniture and fixtures 5-10 years
Scaffolding and formworks 5 years
Aircrafts 10-15 years
Others 5-10 years
Any revaluation surplus is credited to the asset revaluation reserve net of deferred tax included in equity,
except to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognized in
income statement, in which case the increase is recognized in income statement. A revaluation deficit is
recognized in income statement, except that a deficit directly offsetting a previous surplus on the same
asset is directly offset against the surplus in the asset revaluation reserve.
(27)
Metalex Construction Industry Trading Co Inc. and Its Subsidiaries
An annual transfer from the asset revaluation reserve to retained earnings is made for the difference
between depreciation based on the revalued carrying amount of the assets and depreciation based on
the assets original cost. Additionally, accumulated depreciation as at the revaluation date is eliminated
against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of
the asset.
Power plant equipment is recorded at its original cost of construction. Significant additions or
improvements are capitalized when they extend the life, improve the efficiency or increase the earnings
capacity of the asset. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs and minor renewals to maintain facilities in
operating condition are expensed as incurred.
The asset's residual values, useful lives and methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each
financial year end.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic
benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset
(calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is
included in the income statement in the year the asset is derecognized.
When assets are sold or otherwise disposed of, the costs and the related accumulated depreciation are
removed from the accounts and resulting gain or loss is reflected in the net income. Upon the disposal of
the revalued asset, the relevant portion of the revaluation surplus realized in respect of previous valuation
is released from the revaluation surplus directly to retained earnings.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets mainly includes software rights, they are initially recognized at acquisition cost that are
amortized over 2 to 5 years on straight-line basis.
Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between
the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the income
statement when the asset is derecognized.
The Group classifies a non-current asset (or disposal group) as held for sale if its carrying amount will be
recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. For this to be the
case, the asset (or disposal group) must be available for immediate sale in its present condition subject
only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets (or disposal groups) and its sale must
be highly probable.
For the sale to be highly probable, the appropriate level of management must be committed to a plan to
sell the asset (or disposal group), and an active programme to locate a buyer and complete the plan must
have been initiated. Further, the asset (or disposal group) must be actively marketed for sale at a price
that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value. In addition, the sale should be expected to qualify for
recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification, and actions required to
complete the plan should indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or
that the plan will be withdrawn.
The Group measures a non-current asset (or disposal group) classified as held for sale at the lower of its
carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell, and depreciation on such assets are ceased.
(28)
Metalex Construction Industry Trading Co Inc. and Its Subsidiaries
Investment properties
Land and buildings that are held in the production of supply of goods or services of for administrative
purposes or for long term rental yields or for capital appreciation or both rather than for the sale in the
ordinary course of business are classified as "investment property".
Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. The carrying amount
includes the cost of replacing part of an existing investment property at the time that cost is incurred if the
recognition criteria are met and excludes the costs of day-to-day servicing of an investment property.
Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at fair value, which reflects market
conditions at the balance sheet date. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair values of
investment properties are included in the income statement in the year in which they arise.
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 the
consolidated income statement in the year of retirement or disposal.
Transfers are made to investment property when, and only when, there is a change in use, evidenced by
ending of owner-occupation, commencement of an operating lease to another party or ending of
construction or development. Transfers are made from investment property when, and only when, there
is a change in use, evidenced by commencement of owner-occupation or commencement of
development with a view to sale.
For a transfer from investment property to owner-occupied property or inventories, the deemed cost of
property for subsequent accounting is its fair value at the date of change in use. If the property occupied
by the Group as an owner-occupied property becomes an investment property, the Group accounts for
such property in accordance with the policy stated under property, plant and equipment up to the date of
change in use. For a transfer from inventories to investment property, any difference between the fair
value of the property at that date and its previous carrying amount is recognized in consolidated income
statement. When the Group completes the construction or development of a self-constructed investment
property, any difference between the fair value of the property at that date and its previous carrying
amount is recognized in income statement.
Investment property also includes long-term leasehold land held under an operating lease, which is
accounted for as a finance lease in accordance with IAS 40 "Investment Property" and IAS 17 "Leases".
Each lease payment on the long-term leasehold land is allocated between the liability and finance
charges so as to achieve a constant rate on the finance balance outstanding. The corresponding rental
obligations, net of finance charges, are included in current and non-current lease liability on leasehold
land. The interest element of the finance cost is charged to income statement over the lease period so as
to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.
(29)
Metalex Construction Industry Trading Co Inc. and Its Subsidiaries
The Group has both defined benefit and defined contribution plans as described below:
In accordance with existing social legislation in Turkey, the Company and its subsidiaries in Turkey are
required to make lump-sum termination indemnities to each employee who has completed one year of
service and whose employment is terminated due to retirement or for reasons other than resignation
or misconduct.
These benefits are unfounded. The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plans is
determined separately for each plan using the projected unit credit actuarial valuation method. All
actuarial gains and losses are recognized in the income statement.
Personnel working in branches operating in foreign countries and joint-ventures do not have any
employee termination benefit as there is no legal obligation in these countries.
The Company and its subsidiaries in Turkey pay contributions to publicly administered Social Security
Fund on a mandatory basis. The Group has no further payment obligations once the contributions have
been paid. The contributions are recognized as employee benefit expense when they are due.
Foreign subsidiaries and joint ventures contribute to the related government body for the pension scheme
of its employees in the country they are domiciled. Mandatory contributions to the governmental pension
scheme are expensed when incurred.
(30)
Metalex Construction Industry Trading Co Inc. and Its Subsidiaries
Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of
past events, and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a
reliable estimate of the amount can be made. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the
income statement net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material,
provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects
current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the
liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized
as an interest expense.
Leases
The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains a lease based on the substance of the
arrangement at inception date of whether fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a
specific asset or assets or the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset. A reassessment is made
after inception of the lease only if one of the following applies:
a) There is a change in contractual terms, other than a renewal or extension of the arrangement;
b) A renewal option is exercised or extension granted, unless the term of the renewal or extension
was initially included in the lease term;
c) There is a change in the determination of whether fulfillment is dependent on a specified asset;
or
d) There is a substantial change to the asset.
Where a reassessment is made, lease accounting shall commence or cease from the date when the
change in circumstances gave rise to the reassessment for scenarios a), c) or d) and at the date of
renewal or extension period for scenario b).
Finance leases
Finance leases, which transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership
of the leased item, are capitalized at the inception of the lease at the fair value of the leased property or,
if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between
the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the
remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged directly against income statement.
Leased assets are depreciated over the useful life of the asset. However, if there is no reasonably
certainty that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, capitalized leased assets are
depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term.
(31)
Metalex Construction Industry Trading Co Inc. and Its Subsidiaries
Operating lease
Leases of assets under which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are effectively retained
by the lessor, are classified as operating leases, except long-term leasehold land classified as
investment property. Lease payments under an operating lease are recognized as an expense on a
straight-line basis over the lease term. The aggregate benefit of incentives provided by the lessor is
recognized as a reduction of rental expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis.
Operating lease
The Group has entered into commercial and residential property leases on its investment property
portfolio. The Group has determined, based on an evaluation of the terms and conditions of the
arrangements, that it retains all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of these properties and so
accounts for the contracts as operating leases.
Lease income from operating leases is recognized in income statement on a straight-line basis over the
lease term. Costs, including depreciation, incurred in earning the lease income are recognized as an
expense. Initial direct costs incurred by the Group in negotiating and arranging an operating lease is
added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized as an expense over the lease term on
the same basis as the lease income.
After initial recognition, borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective
interest rate method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any issue costs, and any
discount or premium on settlement.
Gains and losses are recognized in income statement when the liabilities are derecognized, as well as
through the amortization process.
Accounts payable
Liabilities for accounts payable are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.
Trade payables are discounted with the contractual interest rates, and if such rates are not disclosed in
the contracts, the related currency's Libor and Euribor rates are used.
Income tax
Tax expense / (income) is the aggregate amount included in the determination of net income statement
for the period in respect of current and deferred tax.
The Group is subject to income taxes in various jurisdictions. Where there are matters the final tax
outcome of which is different from the amounts initially recorded, such differences will impact the income
tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.
(32)
Metalex Construction Industry Trading Co Inc. and Its Subsidiaries
Current tax
Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected
to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the
amount are those that are enacted by the balance sheet date.
Current income tax relating to items recognized directly in equity is recognized in equity and not in the
income statement.
Deferred tax
Deferred income tax is provided, using the liability method, on all temporary differences at the balance
sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts. Deferred income
tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences.
Deferred income tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of
unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be
available against which the deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and
unused tax losses can be utilized.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced
to the extent that, in the management's judgment, it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will
be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred
income tax assets are reassessed at each balance sheet date and are recognized to the extent it has
become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period
when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been
enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet dates.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off
current tax assets against current tax liabilities, and deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and
the same taxation authority. Deferred tax relating to items recognized directly in equity is recognized in
equity and not in the consolidated income statement.
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group
and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenues are stated net of discounts, returns and value
added taxes. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognized:
(33)
Metalex Construction Industry Trading Co Inc. and Its Subsidiaries
Revenue arising from cost plus fee contracts is recognized on the basis of costs incurred plus a
percentage of the contract fee earned during the year.
Contracts to manage, supervise or coordinate the construction activity of others are recognized only to
the extent of the fee revenue.
Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract
performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs and depreciation costs. Selling, general and
administrative expenses are charged to the consolidated income statement as incurred. Provisions for
estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in full, in the period in which such losses are
determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability, including those
arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements may result in revisions to costs and
income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. Profit incentives are
included in revenues when their realization is reasonably assured.
Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts represent revenues
recognized in excess of amounts billed. Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on
uncompleted contracts represent billings in excess of revenues recognized.
