1- Viking Kağıt Annual Report 2010
Viking Kağıt in Brief
Viking Kağıt was Turkey’s first privately-owned paper mill.
Originally founded in 1969 in İzmir’s Aliağa township, Viking
Kağıt commenced production in 1971 with a variety of
wrapping, printing, and laminating paper for industrial uses.
In 1982 Viking Kağıt joined the Yaşar Group and thereafter
began taking strategic steps to achieve growth within the
framework of that group’s fundamental business principles of
innovation, leadership, and enterprise. As a result of an
expansion investment undertaken in 1984, Viking Kağıt
increased its production capacity to 20,250 tons a year. With
a second paper machine investment in 1999, Viking Kağıt
increased its production capacity to 43,000 tons a year. The
company further bolstered its strong position in the sector
with the complete renewal of its tissue paper converting
plant in 2003.
One of the leading players in the tissue paper sector
Having undertaken a public offering in 1994, Viking Kağıt
completed modernization investments after which it made
its first venture into the tissue paper sector in 1996. In that
sector, Viking Kağıt is active primarily today in two product
lines:
• “Consumer Products” under the Lily and Senso brand names
• “Away From Home” (AFH) products under the Select brand
name.
In both categories, Viking Kağıt seeks to maximize its
fulfillment of consumers’ and customers’ expectations with
differentiated products that exactly satisfy their needs.
Viking Kağıt was the first member of the Turkish tissue paper
industry to be awarded internationally recognized ISO 9001
Quality Management System certification, which it received
in 1997. The company’s certification was upgraded to ISO
9001:2008 Quality Management System standards as of 2009.
An environmentally aware company
Viking Kağıt is an environmentally aware company and its
actions in this respect are guided by the mission and vision
of the Yaşar Group, of which it is a member. Viking Kağıt
has its own, on-premises waste paper processing, chemical
treatment, and biological treatment plants. The company
was also the first in the Turkish tissue paper industry to
commission a de-inking plant.
In a world such as today’s in which concepts like recycling,
recovery, global warming, and environmental protection
are spreading rapidly, social acceptance of environmental
sensitivity is increasing, and the demand for recycled goods is
growing steadily stronger, Viking Kağıt is strongly positioned
by virtue of its own internalized competitive advantages.
A fine example of Viking Kağıt’s environmental awareness
is to be seen in the environment-friendly toilet papers and
paper towels that it manufactures and offers to consumers
under the “Lily Bio” brand. These products prevent the
harvesting of an average of 200,000 trees a year.
A strong and competitive production, marketing, and sales
cycle
Taking a proactive approach in the fulfillment of the
investment requirements resulting from market demand, the
company commissioned its second roll product converting
line in 2007. With this investment, Viking Kağıt increased
its production capacity in the roll group by 120% and also
significantly enhanced its manufacturing capabilities and
continues to successfully satisfy consumers’ higher quality
expectations.
Viking Kağıt’s products are delivered to customers and
consumers through more than 60,000 points of sale that
are kept supplied by a distribution network consisting of
four regional departments, 50 dealerships, a chain store
department, and national chain delivery channels.
With its rapidly increasing export volumes, Viking Kağıt
exports goods to 23 countries, principally to Europe and the
Turkic Republics.
In terms of average market share, Viking Kağıt is the third
biggest tissue paper manufacturer in Turkey today.
In its capacity as both a pioneer and innovator in its sector,
Viking Kağıt will continue to strengthen its position in the
sector and to be a model of sustainability for others.

2010 Production Capacities
Viking Kağıt is engaged in the tissue paper manufacturing
business, one of the fastest-growing sectors in Turkey. In
2010 it continued to develop and to create value for its
stakeholders through its deep-rooted corporate identity,
superior production abilities, strong market position, and
high quality standards.
Constrained by the global economic climate in 2009, the
Turkish economy suffered a contraction that year but was
nevertheless one of the first national economies to emerge
from crisis. In 2010 Turkey made a strong recovery and
resumed growing once again. With employment numbers
showing improvement, the principal driving force of economic
recovery was strong domestic demand although policy
interest rates also supported the revival of economic activity
by falling to historically low levels. In 2010 the Turkish
economy registered an 8.9% rate of year-on growth, which
ranked it first among all European countries. Our country’s
growth performance in 2010 was the fastest witnessed since
2004.
The tissue paper sector is distinguished by its high growth
potential and strongly promising future. Its development in
2010 paralleled that of the macroeconomic context and it
continued to grow. Growth in the discount outlet segment
remained strong all year long while “private-label brand”
tissue paper products offered to customers made a positive
contribution to the market’s overall expansion.
İdil Yiğitbaşı
Chairperson of the Board of Directors
environmentfriendly production
and sustainable
growth
The supply-side surplus in our sector continues to trigger
price competition and this situation is what frustrates
increases in the sector’s overall turnover. Our industry’s
turnover, which might have been expected to expand more
in light of high growth in terms of sales, was unable to do so
due to the pressures exerted by intense competition on price.
Last year the sector registered an overall rate of 3.4% year-on
growth with the paper towels ranking as the fastest-growing
category at 11%.
In 2010 Viking Kağıt booked USD 15.5 million as export
revenues. This corresponds to a year-on rise of 29.7% on a
USD basis.
In 2010 Viking Kağıt shipped 10,783 tons of products,
consisting largely of semi-finished goods, to 23 countries on
which it earned export proceeds in the amount of TL 23.3
million. Sales to the domestic market amounted to 24,973
tons, on which the company generated a turnover worth more
than TL 101 million.
Raw material prices continued to rise steadily all year
long. This had a significant impact on the cost of the goods
produced by Viking Kağıt while also exerting pressures on
its profitability. Increasingly intensified competition in our
sector as its players contend for market share was the most
important constraint on our company’s ability to adhere to a
rational price policy based entirely on its costs. This was the
Esteemed shareholders,
We are continuing our intensive efforts to ensure the
sustainability of Viking Kağıt’s competitive strength and
customer satisfaction.
We are aware that ensuring the sustainability of our
company’s competitive strength, that further enhancing its
market position, and that increasing its profitability are all
dependent on speeding up efforts to improve its costs. In line
with this, in 2010 the company continued to work intensively
on its Operational Cost Improvement and its Lean Six Sigma
projects.
The Lean Six Sigma projects that were completed in 2010
resulted in significant savings at the company while
contributing favorably to its cost base. Under the Operational
Cost Improvement System, employees are continuously
encouraged to take part by contributing valuable views and
suggestions that are then transformed into added value
for Viking Kağıt. The company achieved savings amounting
to more than a million liras by means of suggestions made
through the Operational Cost Improvement System. Another
development in 2010 that made Viking Kağıt both proud and
excited was the special award that it received for its project
entry in the Yaşar Group Productivity Competition.
I wish to take this opportunity to extend my sincerest thanks
personally and on behalf of the Board of Directors to all my
colleagues for demonstrating such exemplary participation by
sharing their valuable suggestions with us.
Viking Kağıt possesses a deep-rooted sense of environmental
awareness and seeks to achieve full compliance with all
aspects of the legal framework governing environmental
issues. The exemplary performance which we have achieved
on numerous fronts ranging from waste water discharge to
using a high proportion of waste paper in its production is an
indication of Viking Kağıt’s sensitivity towards the future of
people and the environment.
Like the tissue paper sector as a whole, Viking Kağıt is
focused on growth.
As Turkey undergoes its process of rapid growth and
development, we foresee that the tissue paper sector will also
be experiencing strong growth in the years ahead as well. In
line with this view, Viking Kağıt is unwaveringly committed to
the fulfillment of its corporate strategies in order to achieve
these goals:
• Increase market share by registering growth in all segments
• Improve profitability without sacrificing quality in the valuecreation chain
• Develop consumer communication and increase customer
satisfaction by maintaining the highest level of product
quality
• Engage in efforts to develop a more effective and
productive sales organization as a part of the company’s
channel management strategy
• Invest in human resource for the sake of sustainable success
• Make optimum use of energy and all other natural resources.
As one of the most seasoned veterans of Turkey’s tissue paper
industry, Viking Kağıt is committed to offering its customers
only the very best. With the support of you, our esteemed
shareholders, Viking Kağıt will remain firmly on the path of
sustainable growth. In closing, I extend my sincerest thanks to
our customers for preferring Viking Kağıt quality as well as to
all of our other stakeholders.
İdil Yiğitbaşı
Chairperson of the Board of Directors
Management
Viking Kağıt was one of the first group of ten concerns
selected by the Electrical Power Resources Administration for
inclusion in the determination of energy conservation targets.
This project, which is based on the principle of voluntary
participation, will play a big role in internalizing the concept
of energy efficiency while also increasing the company’s
contributions to the national economy.
In 2010
In 2010 Viking Kağıt remained the sector’s third biggest
supplier with an average market share of 7.7%. An important
development that took place last year was the introduction
of direct sales to the market, a decision which contributed
significantly to the company’s market penetration as well
as to its profitability. At the same time, Viking Kağıt’s brand
architecture was reviewed in light of changing market
conditions and consumer demand. The result was a decision
to move away from a single-brand strategy in favor of a
multibrand, market-driven strategy. This changeover was
completed in 2010 with the positioning of three separate
brands for three separate target segments. Concurrent with
this, greater attention was given to brand communication and
the packaging on all of Viking Kağıt’s products was renewed
taking new global trends into account.
Making effective and productive use of natural resources is
our most fundamental responsibility as a good corporate
citizen.
Energy efficiency is an essential issue and objective at
Viking Kağıt and one to which the company gives the utmost
attention.
principal reason why Viking Kağıt closed its books for 2010
showing an operating loss. Nevertheless effective collections
management and a focus on making direct sales last year
played a key role in improving the company’s average
collection times, which in turn allowed its cash flow to be
managed much more effectively.

In 2010, the Turkish economy grew
by 8.9% which made it the bestperforming economy among all
European countries.
(4.8)
International and national economic review
The global economy began to recover in 2010, with
both the world and the Turkish economies growing and
performing more strongly than expected.
Global growth, which is thought to have been on the order
of 5% in 2010, is expected to slow down somewhat in
2011 but still be around 4.4%. Although economic growth
remained slow in the USA and most European countries
last year, overall economic activity was lively in Germany, in
Asian countries other than Japan, and in developing market
economies such as Turkey.
In 2010 the developed countries continued to inject liquidity
into their markets through economic support programs while
simultaneously seeking to keep their policy interest rates at
low levels.
The Turkish economy grew by 8.9% in 2010.
Having registered year-on rates of growth averaging 6%
in 2002-2008, the Turkish economy shrank by some 4.8%
in 2009 as a result of the sharp contraction experienced in
domestic and foreign demand brought on by the global crisis
of 2009. The recovery that got under way in the last quarter
of that year however reversed the growth trend to positive
and this situation continued into 2010.
Due both to strong economic recovery and to base year
effects, the Turkish economy registered quarter-to-quarter
growth rates of 12% in the first quarter of 2010 and of
10.3% and 5.2% respectively in the second and third.
A hefty 9.2% rate in the last quarter brought the overall
performance for the year to 8.9%, which made Turkey’s
economy the best-performing among all European countries
in 2010. This was also the fastest rate of economic growth
witnessed in Turkey since 2004.
With its relatively (compared with other countries) strong
financial structure, healthy banking system, and the potential
of a youthful population, Turkey promises to be a strong
growth performer in 2011 as well.
CPI performance was within targets.
Due to the effects of tax increases and continuing high food
prices, one-month inflation rates surged in the first two
months of 2010. Thereafter they tended to subside for the
rest of the year with the 12-month rise in consumer prices
ending up at the 6.4% level. The 12-month rate of inflation
in the first quarter of 2011 was 4%. For the second half of
the year, it is expected that the inflationary outlook will begin
to worsen, especially as base effects are eliminated in April,
and that it will start to rise again due to the effects of loose
monetary and fiscal policies. By the end of the year, it is likely
that the 12-month rise in inflation will be around 5.5% or so.
CBT: Using interest rate and other market tools to achieve
stability
In November 2010 the Turkish Central Bank (CBT) lowered
its overnight borrowing rate to 1.75% while still holding the
line on its policy interest rate. Taking this action to stem a
tide of capital inflows, the bank lowered the overnight rate
another 25 basis points to 1.50% on 23 March 2011. These
tweakings had the effect of driving short-term lending rates
down as well with the result that the Turkish lira lost a great
deal of its attractiveness for the many international investors
who were taking a short-term view.
In the last quarter of 2010, CBT launched another round of
policy interest rate cuts while simultaneously speeding up
its hikes in the banks’ reserve requirement rates in order
to impose some order on the expansion in credit that was
resulting from lower interest rates.
Total Imports (USD billion)
09
10
Turkey’s total exports increased
by 11.6% in 2010 and reached
USD 114 billion.
Short-term capital inflows into Turkey nevertheless remained
strong in 2010, with a total of USD 10.7 billion worth of
foreign liquidity entering the bond & bill market during the
12 months to year-end. Nevertheless, CBT’s loose-money
policy worked to keep the interest rates on such instruments
low. Indeed the benchmark interest rate on bonds, which was
around 9% at the beginning of the year, slipped almost two
whole points to 7.1% in December.
Turning now to currency markets, the USD/TL exchange rate,
which was around 1.45 at the beginning of 2010, rose as high
as 1.60 in parallel with a weakened global appetite for risk
brought on by concerns about Eurozone countries’ problems
with debt. The rate began to fall again when Greece and
Ireland were included in the IMF and EU rescue packages. By
November, the rate fell below the 1.40 level, only to rebound
to 1.55 or so by year-end in response to CBT’s relaxation of
its monetary policy.
Strong economic growth in 2010 nourished strong demand
for imported goods, which pushed the ratio of the current
account deficit to GDP up from 2.3% in 2009 to 6.4% in
2010. It is expected that the current account deficit will
continue to widen in 2010 and that it will approach the 7%
of GDP level.
08
09
10
The rise in total imports that
reached USD 186 billion in 2010
was 31.7%.
The global economic crisis of 2008-2009 had a huge
impact on consumers’ buying decisions and preferences in
Turkey–as indeed it did throughout the world. In this process,
hypermarkets’ growth languished while development was to
be observed in the discount-outlet segment. The “privatelabel brand” tissue paper products offered to customers
by discount retailers made a positive contribution to the
market’s overall growth. In Turkey, convenience stores and
medium-sized groceries are gaining increasing importance
for the tissue paper sector, often at the expense of largescale hypermarkets. Among these retailers however,
competition is dictated by more traditional conditions and
sellers have relatively little maneuvering room insofar as
pricing is concerned.
In recent years total supply in the tissue paper sector has
been greater than demand. This situation is what triggers
price competition and what adversely affects the sector’s
overall turnover. The tissue paper industry’s turnover, which
might have been expected to expand more in light of high
growth in terms of sales, was unable to do so in 2010 due
to the pressures created by intense competition on price.
In 2009-2010, the Turkish tissue paper sector registered an
overall growth rate of 3.4%. The fastest-growing category was
paper towels (11%) and was followed by toilet paper (2.5%).
The paper napkin segment by comparison shrank by 1.2%.
The tissue paper sector in Turkey
The outlook for the tissue paper sector in Turkey may be
summed up as one of high growth potential deriving from
presently low consumption.
With a tissue paper consumption level of only around 4.3
kgs a person a year, the Turkish market ranks considerably
far behind more developed ones. This situation points to
significant potential for the sector’s future growth.
Price levels in 2010 generally were lower than those of
2009.
Despite mounting raw material prices in 2010, the general
level of product prices in the Turkish tissue paper market
regressed to 2009 values. Price competition between the
market’s top two brands contributed significantly to the huge
price competition pressures to which the market’s other
players were subjected. Such conditions naturally had an
adverse impact on the sector’s profitability performance as
well. A striking and noteworthy development was the efforts
that all of the market’s players began to make from September
onwards to boost the general level of prices once again.

Assessment of 2010 Activities
the sector’s third biggest
supplier
A manufacturer with a strong production, marketing, and
sales network
In 2010 Viking Kağıt:
• Focused on proper brand and product management
• Renovated its brand architecture
• Achieved a new delivery channel structure with the
launching of direct sales
• Continued to introduce new products to the market.
Given a business climate characterized by the unfavorable
conditions resulting from unrelenting and intense price
competition and from high raw material price levels, Viking
Kağıt nevertheless performed reasonably well.
To increase the effectiveness of our market presence
Viking Kağıt defined its underlying strategy for 2010 as
one of making its market presence more effective by
strengthening its financial structure. It achieved this by
creating more suitable competitive conditions for itself.
The company also took important steps in the direction of
increasing the distribution and sales of its branded products.
In 2010 Viking Kağıt maintained its position as the sector’s
third biggest supplier with an average market share of 7.7%.
In order to raise its numerical distribution performance
to even higher levels, Viking Kağıt inaugurated its direct
sales channel last year. Direct sales not only have greater
profitability overall but are also recognized as offering
greater opportunities for further market penetration.
Management
In 2010
In 2010 Viking Kağıt maintained
its position as the sector’s third
biggest supplier with an average
market share of 7.7%.
In 2010 Viking Kağıt revamped
its brand architecture in line with
its decision to move away from
a single-brand strategy in favor
of a multibrand, market-driven
strategy.
3
different brands
different segments
Lily, Senso, Select
In Viking Kağıt’s new branding strategy,
“Lily” is the main brand and “Senso” is
positioned as the second-tier, economical
brand. “Select” continues to supply
professional products to the “away-fromhome” market.
Lily, Senso and Select
Viking Kağıt supplies the market with toilet paper, paper
towel, napkin, and facial tissue products in separate
categories under the Lily, Senso, and Select brand names. In
the case of Lily, the company adheres to a branding strategy
not otherwise used in the sector in which it supplies subbranded products specifically targeted at the premium,
upper-middle, and lower-middle market segments.
In 2010 Viking Kağıt maintained its position as the sector’s
third biggest supplier, in terms of average market share.
Bolstering its presence in a market made more competitive
with the entry of new rivals, the Lily brand was particularly
important to Viking Kağıt’s efforts to solidify its position.
Viking Kağıt’s goal is to strengthen brand perceptions
in consumers’ minds with Lily as its leading label. In the
company’s branding strategy, Lily is the main brand and
Senso is positioned as the second-tier, economical brand.
Product categories and sub-brands created under both of
these make it possible for the company to reach a much
broader target audience. In contrast with this, the Select
brand focuses on supplying professional products to the
away-from-home market.
In 2010 the company controlled market shares (in terms of
sales volume) of 6.6% in toilet paper, 4.3% in paper towels,
and 7.9% in paper napkins. Viking Kağıt’s share of the private
label (also known as “house brand”) segment continued to
grow faster than the sector’s average last year.
In 2010 Viking Kağıt booked sales amounting to 35,756 tons.
The tissue paper group accounted for a 70% share of the
company’s total sales last year.
In 2007 Viking Kağıt began manufacturing private-label
products on a contractual basis. Since then, the company has
been offering optimized price, quality, and service solutions
as a supplier of house brand products to some of the leading
players in Turkey’s retailing sector.
The “Senso Pufla” line that was introduced to the market in
2010 gave Viking Kağıt a big advantage from the standpoint
of increasing its numeric distribution of goods especially to
traditional small retailers. Similarly the “Lily Dolgun” subbrand launched in late 2010 is introducing to the market
a new product whose thicker-ply composition of virgin +
de-inked (recycled) pulp provides greater absorbency and
durability than standard two-ply products.
R&D and design work on the “Lily Dolgun” line of toilet
papers and paper towels was completed in 2010. In the
creation of these products, which we plan to put on the
market in 2011, attention was focused on the issues of
durability and absorbency, two qualities which consumers
say they give the most attention to.
With demand in the AFH segment continuing to grow all
year long, manufacturers sought to strengthen their market
positions with a variety of products and accessories. The
aim in this was to make turnover and profit gains by offering
goods that went beyond standard ones.
Under the heading of portfolio optimization, in 2010 Viking
Kağıt redesigned the packaging of all of its products.
Higher raw materials prices
Significant rises in raw materials prices that began in early
2010 continued all year long. This had a serious impact on
the cost of goods manufactured by the sector. At the same
time however, heightened competition and efforts on the part
of the sector’s players to increase market share prevented
the implementation of policies that might have kept prices at
levels capable of covering costs.
This situation was the principal reason why Viking Kağıt
closed its books for 2010 showing an operating loss.
Nevertheless effective collections management and a
focus on making direct sales last year played a key role in
Under the heading of channel management strategies,
Viking Kağıt engaged in efforts to improve the effectiveness
and productivity of its sales organization. To this end, it
sought to achieve greater order by strengthening discount
management in the retail channel while also grouping points
of sale into functional categories.
For neighborhood grocery and convenience stores, which
account for the biggest share of tissue paper sector sales
in Turkey, the company successfully implemented a policy
of increasing sales turnover by means of regularly-supplied
house-brand products to such outlets during the year in
order to build up long-term business relationships with them
and create a closer working environment.
Goods whose sales were low and underachieving were
removed from the product line while attention was focused
on making sales that contributed towards manufacturing
productivity. The ratio of direct sales to total sales was
increased and this contributed significantly towards
profitability.
Management
Viking Kağıt’s channel management strategy and sales
performance
In 2010 Viking Kağıt focused on a strategy of profitable
channel management and made efforts to prevent possible
losses in the face of competition. Consideration was given
to a variety of strategic options such as reducing the volume
of private-label output and giving more attention to the
company’s own (branded) products. New additions were also
made to the latter category of goods last year.
In 2010
In the restructuring, which took place in the last quarter of
2010, three separate brand positions were adopted in three
different segments of the tissue paper products market.
In this new, segment-based brand architecture, products
incorporating features specific to target audiences were
supplied to the market with appropriate price structures and
brand communication and marketing plans.
improving the company’s average collection times, which
in turn allowed its cash flow to be managed much more
effectively. This greater effectiveness in cash management
played an important role in reducing Viking Kağıt’s borrowing
requirements.
Changes in Viking Kağıt’s brand architecture and new
products
In 2010 Viking Kağıt revamped its brand architecture in line
with its decision to move away from a single-brand strategy
in favor of a multibrand, market-driven strategy.
Despite shrinking foreign
demand due to global economic
crisis conditions in 2010, Viking
Kağıt nevertheless succeeded in
increasing the quantities of its
sales.
Leading indicators concerning Viking Kağıt’s sales
performance are presented below.
30%
The most noticeable year-on change in Viking Kağıt’s sales
took place in the private label segment. In 2009 sales to
this segment accounted for a 37% share of the company’s
net sales; in 2010, this was down to 27%. The reduction of
the share of private-label sales in total sales helped support
Viking Kağıt’s AFH and direct sales.

a 37.8% share of the company’s total gross
sales. These were followed in second place
by semifinished tissue paper products at
30.1%.

In the consumer products segment, which accounts for a

Viking Kağıt-branded products commanded a 7.7% market
share. For 2011, the company intends to raise its market
share in this segment to 8.5%.
In 2011 Viking Kağıt will continue to focus its attentions
on further developing its brand image through new brand
architecture, new packaging, and intensive communication
activities. In addition, the company will also be following
strategies to increase market share, to the degree that its
manufacturing capacity permits, through communication
in the “at home” segment while also seeking to bolster its
market share in the medium term.
Breakdown of Sales in 2010 (by volume)
Paper Towels 15.5%
Semi-Finished Tissue Paper
30.1%
Napkins 16.6%
Toilet Paper 37.8%
The company’s biggest export market is the UK, which takes a
60% share of the goods that Viking Kağıt ships abroad. These
consist largely of semifinished products. In keeping with
the requirements of the company’s international customers,
at least half of its exports are manufactured from recycled
paper. With a 21% share, Viking Kağıt’s second biggest
export market is Azerbaijan.
Viking Kağıt deploys the Lean Six Sigma method in its
ongoing efforts to:
• Achieve excellence in all of its business processes
• Raise operational productivity
• Increase customer satisfaction
• Sustain its competitive edge
• Strengthen its market position
• Increase its profitability.
Management
Exporting to 23 countries
Despite shrinking foreign demand due to global economic
crisis conditions in 2010, Viking Kağıt nevertheless
succeeded in increasing the quantities of its sales. The
USD 15.5 million worth of export sales which the company
booked not only accounted for 30% of its total sales but also
maintained its standing as the member of the Yaşar Group
with the highest export turnover.
Developments in Operational Cost Improvement and Lean
Six Sigma projects
Accelerating its efforts to maintain its competitive strength,
to achieve a stronger market presence, and to increase the
company’s profitability, in 2010 Viking Kağıt continued with
the process improvement activities that it is carrying out
under the “Lean Six Sigma” projects that it first launched
in 2008. Lean Six Sigma is the most comprehensive and
powerful methodology available today to design and improve
processes and products that are best capable of satisfying
customer expectations in the most effective way possible.
Under the heading of Lean Six Sigma, in 2010 Viking Kağıt
completed a total of eight “2nd wave” projects as a result
of which it gained three Black Belt and five Green Belt
qualifications.
In 2010
Developments in distribution channels
Viking Kağıt supplies its products to final consumers through
two primary distribution channels: dealerships and national
chains. Taking the highly competitive nature of the dealership
channel into account, attention there was focused on sales
targets while a growth strategy was adhered to particularly
in the case of away-from-home consumption. The guarantee
structure in the dealership system was strengthened while
noteworthy improvements were made in Viking Kağıt dealers’
infrastructures. In the national chains channel, the company
adhered to a strategy that took profitability into account
while also being mindful of competition.
In 2010 Viking Kağıt once again was recognized by the
Aegean Region Chamber of Industry for its contributions to
the regional economy through its export sales. This is the
eleventh year in a row that the company has been awarded
this distinction.
In December 2010 Viking Kağıt
was granted Forest Stewardship
Council Chain of Custody (FSC CoC)
management system certification.
Viking Kağıt is the only paper &
cardboard manufacturer in Turkey
to have received this award.
During the company’s “OCI Suggestion Weeks” in 2010, a
total of 117 operational cost improvements (OCI) were made,
of which 22 were deemed to be worthy of recognition and
reward. The more than 150 suggestions registered in the OCI
system so far generated savings worth more than TL 1 million
for Viking Kağıt in 2010.
As it does every year, Viking Kağıt took part in the Yaşar
Group’s “Productivity Competition” in 2010. The company’s
“Paper Production Process Cost Improvement Project”, which
achieves savings of more than TL 1.25 million, was awarded a
special prize.
Human resources who are active participants and are open
to development
As a member of the Yaşar Group of Companies, Viking Kağıt
believes that the human element is the factor that binds
together its success. The company bases its human resources
policies and practices on its awareness of the value that is to
be given to the human element and it applies and maintains
them in such a way as to further develop its competitive
strength.
Seeking to enhance process effectiveness and productivity
by combining advanced technology with appropriate human
resources, Viking Kağıt believes that training, knowledge, and
experience are the best possible guides.
Viking Kağıt’s human resources policy is based on the
principles of supporting and developing employees through
in-house training that focuses on the company’s goals and
organization and of improving employment conditions in new
positions that are to be created in line with this.
In keeping with this policy, a total of 3,930 hours of
professional, personal development, and leadership training
was provided to company employees at Viking Kağıt during
2010. Average training time per person was 16 hours. In
addition to this training, newly-recruited company personnel
were provided with a total of 4,500 hours of orientation and
on-the-job training.
Attention is continuously given to the educational
backgrounds of new hires. One result of this is that 91% of
the company’s blue-collar workers were in the “qualified
labor” category in 2010, a one-point improvement over the
90% level that existed in 2009.
The final stage was reached in the project to incorporate
dealerships into the SAP system that was begun in 2010. This
project, which will become operational in 2011, will make it
possible to perform company dealership stock and customer
analyses and to keep better track of market developments.
Another industry first: Forest Stewardship Council Chain of
Custody Management System certification
Viking Kağıt shapes its quality policy on the foundations of
continuously improving processes and product and service
quality and of protecting the environment in all of its activities.
Viking Kağıt was the first privately-owned concern in its
sector to be audited and awarded internationally recognized
ISO 9001:2000 Quality Management System certification.
The ISO 9001:1994 Quality Management System certificate
originally granted by BVQI in 1997 was updated in 2003 to
a ISO 9001:2000 Quality Management System certificate,
which is process-based and which also takes into account
“decisions based on achieving continuous development and
quantification.” Viking Kağıt gives priority to management by
The company’s quality and process target performance is
continuously recorded and monitored. Such data undergo
management reviews at meetings which are held every
six months and during which any measures are taken as
necessary to deal with any deviations.
Management
In December 2010 Viking Kağıt was granted Forest
Stewardship Council Chain of Custody (FSC CoC)
management system certification, thereby becoming the first
paper and cardboard manufacturer in Turkey to have received
this award. FSC CoC is a management system that focuses
on all aspects of the processing, conversion, manufacturing,
distribution, and other activities involving raw materials
originating in forests as they move from well-managed
forests to the consumer.
In 2010
Developments in information technologies
During 2010 Viking Kağıt took part intensively in the
information technology activities being conducted
throughout the Yaşar Group, during which it worked on
projects to make improvements both in the management
information system and in systems processes in general.
objectives, to ongoing development and improvement, and
to customer satisfaction by ensuring that such issues also
serve as input for its ISO 9001 Quality Management System
processes.
A variety of social and cultural activities are conducted
among employees with the aims of increasing motivation
and communication and of achieving more productive work
results.
exemplary
performance for the
future of people and
the environment
Viking Kağıt has been a member of the Environmental
Protection and Packaging Waste Recovery and Recycling Trust
(ÇEVKO) since 2005. In collaboration with that organization,
the company had packaging materials (polyethylene, paper,
cardboard) corresponding to 37% of those on the goods it
supplied to market collected and returned to economic use.
The company has set itself packaging material recycling/
recovery performance targets of 38% and 40% for 2011 and
2012 respectively.
Viking Kağıt takes great pains to remain in the strictest
compliance with all current Environment and Forestry
Ministry regulations as they pertain to such matters as
packaging waste control and hazardous waste control.
Viking Kağıt energy policy and developments in 2010
As a member of an industry whose manufacturing operations
are quite energy-intensive, Viking Kağıt engages in an ongoing
effort to reduce the amount of energy that it must use.
Social responsibility activity highlights at Viking Kağıt
• In 2010 the company provided study scholarships to
four students through the Yaşar Education and Culture
Foundation.
Management
Under the heading of energy efficiency activities carried out
at Viking Kağıt in 2010, energy conservation work on its PM1
paper machine reduced the amount of energy consumed per
ton of output by 12%. Valve jackets that were also installed
on all the steam transport lines at the factory are expected to
prevent heat losses on the order of 347,000 kcal/hour.
In 2010
Between 2007 and 2010, Viking Kağıt reduced the amount of
water that it needed to produce a ton of paper by about 30%.
Viking Kağıt is the only company in its sector to sign such
an agreement, which it did as soon as the law was passed.
The company was also one of the first ten industrial
concerns to do so as well.
In 2009 Viking Kağıt applied to join the Electrical Power
Resources Survey and Development Administration’s project
to voluntarily reduce energy-intensive activities and an
agreement was signed with that administration. Under this
agreement, Viking Kağıt will attempt to reduce its overall
energy density by 11% by the end of 2012.
• Professional education traineeship positions were provided
for 26 high school and university students.
• Field trips to factories were organized for primary and
middle-school pupils, who were also provided with
information about the use and recycling of tissue paper.
Support was provided for recycling-related projects
created by students at private schools.
Viking Kağıt first added a biological treatment plant to its
existing waste paper processing and chemical treatment
plants back in 1997. Thanks to the microorganisms in the
biological treatment unit, the chemical oxygen demand (COD)
of the company’s discharged wastewater is reduced by as
much as 75% to bring it within legally required limits.
Viking Kağıt volunteered to take part in a statutorily created
“National Project To Reduce The Level Of Energy Use In
Industry Through Voluntary Agreements” and throughout
2008, the company was involved in pilot studies conducted
by a group of private sector, government, and international
consultants.
To reduce environmental impact and make efficient use of
resources
Viking Kağıt seeks to dispose or recycle waste in the
most appropriate way possible through effective waste
management and waste classification. By taking the approach
of simultaneously engaging in a number of dialogues, the
company examines and assesses the compliance of its
own suppliers with the requirements of environmental
safety systems. The company awards additional points to
suppliers who are themselves in possession of ISO 14001
Environmental Management System certification.

Markets Law and pertinent CMB regulations.

The fundamental mission of the company’s human resources policy is to ensure the management of human resources who
are innovative, who are committed to the principle of total quality, and who contribute towards the company’s competitive
advantage by easily adapting to change and development. The company’s basic human resources policies are clearly in the
company’s Personnel Regulations, which are issued to all employees against their individual signature. In addition to basic
policies, these regulations also contain information about working hours, hiring principles and processes, termination, and
discipline.
Basic human resources policies
a) Staffing at the company is determined according to the criteria of business economics. All employees agree that honorable
employment is only possible through productive work.
14) Stakeholder participation in management
Meetings are conducted at which company employees are provided with information about the company’s current
circumstances. Semiannual management review meetings are also held in which the company’s team leaders, engineers, and
key personnel take part. In other situations when it is necessary to provide additional information, announcements are made by
means of employee bulletin boards set up within the company. Meetings are also held with customers and suppliers at which
information is provided concerning material disclosures made about the company.
b) The company conducts intramural and extramural training programs within the framework of plans that are devised for each
level in order to ensure the progression of its employees.
c) The company is mindful of equality of opportunity in all promotions and appointments throughout its organization. As a
matter of principle, appointments are made from among the company’s own personnel.
d) By means of a career planning system in which progression plans are implemented, employees who have potential are
provided with the broadest possible opportunities for advancement.
e) Employees’ performance is evaluated on the basis of their fulfillment of targets and their competencies.
f) Job descriptions and performance standards are documented for positions at every level from the highest to the lowest and
these serve as the basis for employee evaluations.
g) Employee opinion surveys are conducted regularly every year, at which time employees are asked for their views about such
issues as working conditions, management, social activities, compensation, training, performance evaluation, career planning,
participatory management, and company satisfaction. Improvements are made in line with the feedback that is received in this
way.
h) A safe workplace and safe working conditions are a matter to which the company gives great importance. Under the
company’s occupational health and safety regulations, all legally mandated measures are taken to prevent occupational risks,
ensure health and safety, and eliminate risk and accident factors. An ongoing effort to make improvements is carried out
through regularly conducted safety meetings.
i) An essential principle at the company is that all employees will be treated equally and without making any distinctions
among them with respect to language, race, color, sex, political beliefs, philosophy, creed, religion, sect, or similar reasons. Due
measures have been taken to protect these basic employee rights.
There are no employee representatives at the company. All employees are kept informed about company procedures,
organizational changes, changes in rights and benefits, and other practices and decisions that may affect them by means of
regulations and announcements prepared within the framework of the company’s prescribed announcement regulations as
well as via the company intranet and bulletin boards. Neither Viking Kağıt’s management nor its human resources department
has ever received any complaint from employees about discrimination.
16) Information about relations with customers and suppliers
As a requirement of its ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management System certification, a “customer satisfaction walkthrough
procedure” has been formulated at the company. Under this procedure, whenever a customer complaint is received it is
forwarded to the Quality Assurance Department. The complaint is investigated and, if need be, visits are made to the customer’s
premises to deal with the issue and to provide technical service in an attempt to resolve the problem. If the customer’s
complaint is justified, goods are taken back or the customer’s losses are compensated for by means of commercial benefits. A
“customer satisfaction poll” is conducted once a year to determine how customers perceive the company. In dealing with its
suppliers, Viking Kağıt’s approach is that of a “business partnership”. Suppliers are notified whenever there are any deviations
in input quality control. Joint meetings are held when necessary and corrective measures are planned as may be required.
17) Social responsibility
In 2010 scholarships for four students were provided through the Yaşar Education and Culture Foundation; professionalcapacity traineeship positions were provided for 26 high school and university students; factory field trips were organized for
primary and middle school pupils during which participants were given information about tissue paper use and recycling; and
students attending private schools were given support for their projects concerning paper recycling/deinking.
Part IV: Board of Directors
18) Structure and formation of the Board of Directors; independent directors
Within the framework of the requirements of laws and regulations and of the company’s own articles of incorporation, internal
regulations, and policies, the Board of Directors represents the company and exercises such authorities and fulfills such
responsibilities as have been given to it by shareholders assembled in a General Assembly meeting. The members of the
company’s board of directors are identified below:
İdil Yiğitbaşı
Yılmaz Gökoğlu
Mehmet Aktaş
Hakkı Hikmet Altan
Ekrem Erdemli Hasan Girenes
Levent Rıza Dağhan

• The company’s general manager is Ekrem Erdemli.
• The ability of company directors to engage in the activities set forth in articles 334 and 335 of the Turkish Commercial Code
are subject to the approval of the general assembly of shareholders. With the exception of those activities, there are no other
limitations imposed on what board members may do.
19) Qualifications of company directors
In the selection of company directors, attention is given to structuring the board in such a way as to maximize its influence and
effectiveness. While there are no specific qualifications spelled out in the company’s articles of incorporation to accomplish
this, in principle attention is given to electing directors who satisfy the criteria spelled out in articles 3.1.1, 3.1.2, and 3.1.3 in
section IV of Corporate Governance Principles published by the Capital Markets Board. A Corporate Governance Committee
that was formed at a meeting of the company’s board held on 13 March 2006. Board members are provided with guidance and
compliance review in line with changes and developments that take place.
• There are no independent members of the Board of Directors.
The company’s mission is to “supply tissue paper products which enhance the quality of life of society through the hygiene and
practicality that they provide and which make everyday living more convenient.” The company’s mission is to “rank among the
country’s leading concerns as an organization which continuously develops and keeps pace with change in the tissue paper
products sector, which give importance to environment and health awareness, and which creates value for its customers and
employees.” The activities and results pertaining to the basic strategies that make it possible to achieve this mission and vision
are regularly monitored and assessed by the Board of Directors.
Management
20) Mission, vision, and strategic goals of the company
21) Risk management and internal control mechanisms
The Board of Directors essentially supervises activities related to risk management through the committee that is responsible
for audit. In its fulfillment of these functions, this committee makes use of the findings of the department of financial affairs
and finance and of the organizations that are responsible for independent auditing and for certified accountancy.
23) Operating principles of the Board of Directors
The operating principles of the Board of Directors are spelled out as follows in article 12 of the company’s articles of
incorporation:
The Board of Directors shall convene as the company’s affairs may require. Board of Directors meetings shall be held at the
company’s headquarters; however they may, with the unanimous written consent of board members, also be held at some
other location in Turkey or abroad. The Board of Directors shall convene upon a summons in the form of a written request
made by its chairperson, by its deputy chairperson, or by any member. Notifications of meetings shall be sent out by registered
airmail at least one week in advance and these announcements shall contain an agenda indicating the individual matters that
are to be discussed. Board of Directors resolutions require an absolute majority of all board members’ votes. Even if a meeting
is convened with a majority of the members, decisions must still be approved by the unanimous consent of votes representing
a majority of the board’s full membership.
At least the chairperson or a managing director must be present at board meetings. So long as no member demands that
a meeting be held, decisions pertaining to some specific issue may, upon a written proposal by one or more members, be
approved with the unanimous written consent of the board’s full membership. The provisions of article 330 of the Turkish
Commercial Code shall apply with respect to matters not otherwise dealt with in this clause.
The power to administer the company and to represent and bind it with respect to outside parties resides with the Board of
Directors. The Board of Directors may appoint one or more managing directors from among its membership. The Board of
Directors may delegate its own powers of administration and representation to one or more managing directors or to managers
who need not be shareholders themselves. In order for any documents issued or contracts entered into by the company to
be valid, they must bear the signatures, placed below the company’s legal name, by a board chairperson or managing director
individually authorized to bind the company or else by two board members jointly so authorized, or else by such individuals as
may be designated and determined by the Board of Directors in such a manner as shall be designated and determined by the
Board of Directors.
The company’s directors and executives perform their duties in a manner that is equitable, transparent, accountable, and
responsible. The principles governing the authorities and responsibilities of the Board of Directors that are adhered to in
order to achieve this are spelled out as follows in article 10 of the company’s articles of incorporation, subject always to the
imperatives of the Turkish Commercial Code:
In 2010
22) Authorities and responsibilities of company directors and executives
Details about the Board of Directors’ operating principles and its activities during the 2009 reporting period are given below.
During the reporting period, the Board of Directors convened twenty-nine times. The Board of Directors does not have a
secretariat. All members are usually present at meetings. There were no unresolved disputes over issues during the 2010
reporting period. Board members were actually present at board meetings during which matters governed by the rules of
Corporate Governance Principles section IV.2.17.4 were discussed. Questions raised during meetings are not entered into the
record. No board members have preferential voting or veto rights.
24) Prohibition on doing business or competing with the company
Although members of the Board of Directors were granted authority with respect to the issues governed by articles 334 and
335 of the Turkish Commercial Code at the company’s annual General Assembly meeting for 2009 held during 2010, no
company director was involved in any business transaction falling within the company’s object and scope either directly or
indirectly on his own behalf or on behalf of someone else, during the reporting period.
25) Rules of ethics
The company conducts its activities within the framework of values which are adhered to by Yaşar Group companies and whose
approach to the production of goods and services involves compliance with laws and the rules of ethics, concerns itself with
national problems without becoming involved in politics, and values the environment and nature. These values are known to
all company employees. In addition, while the Guide to the Rules of Business Ethics handbook published by the Yaşar Group in
2009 applies to all of the company’s employees, work is also being carried out to formulate the company’s own rules of ethics
within the framework of its corporate governance approach.
26) Number, structure, and independence of committees established by the Board of Directors
Two committees, consisting of a committee responsible for audit and a committee responsible for corporate governance,
have been formed within the company. The Audit Committee convened four times during 2010 in meetings at which it was
informed by company managers about the company’s activities and internal control systems and also about the findings of
the independent auditors during the most recent quarter. The Audit Committee is responsible for the company’s bookkeeping
system, for the public disclosure of financial information, and for supervising the operation and effectiveness of independent
auditing and of the internal control system; for selecting the independent auditors, initiating the independent auditing process,
and supervising the independent auditors’ activities; for reporting to the Board of Directors about the authenticity and veracity
of publicly disclosed yearly and intermediary financial statements. The members of the Audit Committee are Hasan Girenes
and Hakkı Hikmet Altan. As there are no independent directors, the Audit Committee consists of non-executive directors. No
company director is a member of more than one committee. The company’s Corporate Governance Committee was created
under a Board of Directors resolution dated 13 March 2006. The Corporate Governance Committee is headed by Mehmet Aktaş
and its other member is Özge Yılmaz Gökoğlu. The Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for identifying whether or
not corporate governance principles are being complied with at the company as well as for identifying any problems arising
from less than full compliance with those principles; for making recommendations to the Board of Directors on taking measures
to achieve improvements; for coordinating activities pertaining to relations with shareholders; for undertaking activities related
to creating a transparent system to deal with the matters of identifying, evaluating, training, and rewarding candidates suitable
for board membership and to identifying policies and strategies applicable to that system; for developing recommendations
concerning the number of company directors and executives.
27) Financial benefits provided to the Board of Directors
As is stipulated in article 11 of the company’s articles of incorporation, members of the company’s board receive remuneration
whose amount is determined by a general assembly of shareholders. The remuneration so determined for 2010 was TL 650 a
month. There is no separate performance-based remuneration mechanism for directors at the company. The company does not
make lendings or extend credit, whether directly or indirectly, to any of its directors or executives.

Independent Auditor’s Report
(Convenience translation into English – the Turkish text is authoritative)
To the Board of Directors of
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Viking Kağıt ve Selüloz A.Ş. (the “Company”) which comprise the statement
of financial position at 31 December 2010, and the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and cash flow
statement for the year ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with financial
reporting standards published by the Turkish Capital Markets Board. This responsibility includes: designing, implementing and
maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates
that are reasonable in the circumstances.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance
with auditing standards published by Turkish Capital Markets Board. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements
and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the
financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant
to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate
in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit
also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of Viking Kağıt ve Selüloz A.Ş.
as of 31 December 2010, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the financial
reporting standards issued by the Turkish Capital Markets Board.
Emphasis of Matter
Without qualifying our opinion, we draw your attention to the following matter;
The Company’s current liabilities exceed its total current assets by TL 56.031.362 in the accompanying financial statements as of 31
December 2010 and the Company’s accumulated losses are TL 35.037.808. The Company incurred an operating loss of TL 4.169.176
and a net loss of TL 12.827.562 net loss for the twelve month period ending 31 December 2010. These conditions indicate an
uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and the Company management has plans to continue to
take precautions as it is disclosed in Note 41, to strengthen the financial structure of the company.
Other Matter
The financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2009 were audited by another auditor who expressed an
unmodified opinion on those statements on 11 March 2010.

Management
Şehit Fethi Bey Caddesi No: 120
Financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors, and authorized for issue on 10 March 2011. The general
assembly is authorized to change the financial statements.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2.1 Basis of Presentation of Financial Statements
CMB regulated the principles and procedures of preparation, presentation and announcement of financial statements prepared
by the entities with the Communiqué XI, No: 29, “Principles of Financial Reporting in Capital Markets” (“the Communiqué”). The
Communiqué is effective for the annual periods starting from 1 January 2008 and supersedes Communiqué XI, No: 25, “The
Accounting Standards in the Capital Markets”. According to the Communiqué, entities shall prepare their financial statements
in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IAS/IFRS”) endorsed by the European Union. Until the
differences of the IAS/IFRS as endorsed by the European Union from the ones issued by the International Accounting Standards
Board (“IASB”) are announced by Turkish Accounting Standards Board (“TASB”), IAS/IFRS issued by the IASB shall be applied.
Accordingly, Turkish Accounting Standards/Turkish Financial Reporting Standards (“TAS/TFRS”) issued by the TASB, which do not
contradict with the aforementioned standards shall be applied.
Financial statements are being prepared according to IAS/IFRS in line with the CMB’s notification: XI, No. 29, until the
differences between the IAS/IFRS adopted by the European Union and those issued by the IASB are announced by the TASB.
The following financial statements and the accompanying notes have been presented in accordance with the Turkish CMB
announcements dated 17 April 2008 and 9 January 2009, adhering to the formats advised and including the information
mandated by the CMB of Turkey.
The Company maintains its books of account and prepares its statutory financial statements in accordance with accounting
principles in the Turkish Commercial Code and tax legislation.
In 2010
Basis of Presentation of Financial Statements and Significant Accounting Policies
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Company is measured using the currency of the primary economic
environment in which the Company operates (“the functional currency”).The financial statements are presented in TL, which is
the Company’s functional and presentation currency.
Presentation Currency
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Adjustment of financial statements in hyperinflationary economies
With the decision taken on 17 March 2005, the CMB announced that, effective from 1 January 2005, the application of inflation
accounting is no longer required for companies operating in Turkey and preparing their financial statements in accordance with
the financial reporting standards issued by CMB (“CMB Financial Reporting Standards”). Accordingly, IAS 29, “Financial Reporting
in Hyperinflationary Economies”, issued by the IASB, has not been applied in the financial statements for the accounting year
starting from 1 January 2005.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern. The Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by TL 56.031.362 as at 31 December 2010 and
the Company’s net loss, operating loss and accumulated losses for the year then ended amounts to TL 12.827.562, TL
4.169.176 and TL 35.037.808, respectively. These conditions indicate the existence of an uncertainty, that may cast doubt
on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In this respect, the Company management has made a considered
assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and has taken certain measures as further explained in
Note 41 to the financial statements.
Accordingly, the Company management believes that the Company has the ability to continue its operations in the foreseeable
future.
2.2 Changes in Accounting Policies
Any significant changes in the accounting policies are retrospectively applied and the financial statements of the preceding
terms are restated. There has been no change in the accounting policies of the Company in the current year.
2.3 Changes in accounting estimates and errors
Any significant changes in accounting estimates are prospectively applied in financial statements and accounted for in the
current and preceding periods. There has been no significant change in the accounting estimates of the Company in the current
year.
In relation to errors identified in financial reporting, they are accounted for retrospectively and prior year financial statements
are restated.
2.4 Comparative Information
Numerical data on the financial statement are presented in a comparative manner to provide comparability of the financial
statements with the prior period financial statements, reclassifications are also posted on a retrospective manner.
The Company’s financial statements are being prepared in a way that provides comparability of the financial statements with
the prior period financial statements in order to enable the reader to identify the financial position as well as financial trends.
The Company prepared its balance sheets as at 31 December 2010 and 31 December 2009, as well as its statements of
comprehensive income, cash flow and changes in equity for the period between 1 January – 31 December 2010, in accordance
with the Series XI, No. 29 “Communiqué on Principles Regarding Financial Reporting in Capital Markets” issued by the CMB on 9
April 2008.
The Company’s financial statements are being prepared in a way that provides comparability of the financial statements
with the prior period financial statements in order to enable the reader to identify the financial position as well as financial
trends. In the current year, the Company had reclassified certain comparative balances in order to conform to current year’s
presentation. The nature, amount and reasons for each of the reclassifications are described below:
• The Company had presented the fair value of ‘Derivative financial instruments’ amounting to TL 4.648.600 and TL 948.797 in
“Non-current Financial Assets” and “Other Current Financial Liabilities” on its balance sheet dated 31 December 2009. In the
current period, these balances are offset and is presented within “Financial Assets”.
2.5 New and Revised International Financial Reporting Standards
a) New and Revised IFRSs affecting presentation and disclosure
IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (as part of Improvements to IFRSs issued in 2010)
The amendments to IAS 1 clarify that an entity may choose to present the required analysis of items of other comprehensive
income either in the statement of changes in equity or in the notes to the financial statements. The Company has opted to early
adopt the amendment. The changes will be applied retrospectively.
Management
The following new and revised Standards and Interpretations have been adopted in the current period and have affected the
amounts reported and disclosures in these financial statements. Details of other standards and interpretations adopted in
these financial statements but that have had no material impact on the financial statements are set out below.
b) All amendments and new standards and interpretations issued and effective as of 2010 but not relevant to the Company.
IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations (as part of Improvements to IFRSs issued in 2009)
(a) specific disclosures in respect of non-current assets (or disposal groups) classified as held for sale or discontinued
operations, or
In 2010
The amendments to IFRS 5 clarify that the disclosure requirements in IFRSs other than IFRS 5 do not apply to non-current
assets (or disposal groups) classified as held for sale or discontinued operations unless those IFRSs require:
(b) disclosures about measurement of assets and liabilities within a disposal group that are not within the scope of the
measurement requirement of IFRS 5 and the disclosures are not already provided in the consolidated financial statements.
The amendments to IAS 7 specify that only expenditures that result in a recognised asset in the statement of financial position
can be classified as investing activities in the statement of cash flows. The application of the amendments to IAS 7 has resulted
in a change in the presentation of cash outflows in respect of development costs that do not meet the criteria in IAS 38
Intangible Assets for capitalisation as part of an internally generated intangible asset.
IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows (as part of Improvements to IFRSs issued in 2009)
IFRS 3 (revised in 2008) Business Combinations
IFRS 3 (revised), “Business Combinations” and consequential amendments to IAS 27, “Consolidated and separate financial
statements”, IAS 28, “Investments in associates”, and IAS 31, “Interests in joint ventures”, are effective prospectively to
business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning
on or after 1 July 2009. The main impact of the adoption is as follows:
a) to allow a choice on a transaction-by-transaction basis for the measurement of non-controlling interests (previously referred
to as ‘minority’ interests) either at fair value or at the non-controlling interests’ share of the fair value of the identifiable net
assets of the acquire.
b) to change the recognition and subsequent accounting requirements for contingent consideration.
c) to require that acquisition-related costs be accounted for separately from the business combination, generally leading to
those costs being recognized as an expense in profit or loss as incurred.
d) in step acquisitions, previously held interests are to be remeasured to fair value at the date of the subsequent acquisition
with the value included in goodwill calculation. Gain or loss arising from the re-measurement shall be recognized as part of
profit or loss.
e) IFRS 3 (2008) requires the recognition of a settlement gain or loss when the business combination in effect settles a preexisting relationship between the Company and the acquiree.
IAS 27 (revised in 2008) Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements
The application of IAS 27(2008) has resulted in changes in the Company’s accounting policies for changes in ownership
interests in subsidiaries.
Specifically, the revised Standard has affected the Company’s accounting policies regarding changes in ownership interests in
its subsidiaries that do not result in loss of control. In prior years, in the absence of specific requirements in IFRSs, increases in
interests in existing subsidiaries were treated in the same manner as the acquisition of subsidiaries, with goodwill or a bargain
purchase gain being recognised, when appropriate; for decreases in interests in existing subsidiaries that did not involve a
loss of control, the difference between the consideration received and the adjustment to the non-controlling interests was
recognised in profit or loss. Under IAS 27(2008), all such increases or decreases are dealt with in equity, with no impact on
goodwill or profit or loss.
When control of a subsidiary is lost as a result of a transaction, event or other circumstance, the revised Standard requires the
Company to derecognise all assets, liabilities and non-controlling interests at their carrying amount and to recognise the fair
value of the consideration received. Any retained interest in the former subsidiary is recognised at its fair value at the date
control is lost. The resulting difference is recognised as a gain or loss in profit or loss.
IAS 28 (revised in 2008) Investments in Associates
As part of Improvements to IFRSs issued in 2010, IAS 28(2008) has been amended to clarify that the amendments to IAS 28
regarding transactions where the investor loses significant influence over an associate should be applied prospectively. The
Company has applied the amendments to IAS 28 (2008) as part of Improvements to IFRSs issued in 2010 in advance of their
effective dates (annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2010).
IFRIC 17, “Distributions of non-cash assets to owners”, effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009. This is not
currently applicable to the Company, as it has not made any non-cash distributions.
IFRIC 18, “Transfers of assets from customers”, effective for transfer of assets received on or after 1 July 2009. This is not
relevant to the Company, as it has not received any assets from customers.
“Additional exemptions for first-time adopters” (Amendment to IFRS 1) was issued in July 2009. The amendments are required
to be applied for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2010. This is not relevant to the Company, as it is an existing
IFRS preparer.
IFRS 2, “Share-based Payments – Group Cash-settled Share Payment Arrangements” is effective for annual periods beginning on
or after 1 January 2010. This is not currently applicable to the Company, as the Company does not have share-based payment
plans.
Amendments to IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations (as part of Improvements to IFRSs
issued in 2008) clarify that all the assets and liabilities of a subsidiary should be classified as held for sale when the Company
is committed to a sale plan involving loss of control of that subsidiary, regardless of whether the Company will retain a noncontrolling interest in the subsidiary after the sale.
a) New and Revised IFRSs in issue but not yet effective
IFRS 1 (amendments) First-time Adoption of IFRS – Additional Exemptions and Two Other Amendments
Management
Improvements to International Financial Reporting Standards 2009 were issued in April 2009. The improvements cover 12 main
standards/interpretations as follows: IFRS 2 Share-based Payments, IFRS 8 Operating Segments, IAS 1 Presentation of Financial
Statements, IAS 17 Leases, IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 36 Impairment of Assets, IAS 38 Intangible Assets, IAS 39 Financial Instruments:
Recognition and Measurement, IFRIC 9 Reassessment of Embedded Derivatives, IFRIC 16 Hedges of Net Investment in a Foreign
Operation. The effective dates vary standard by standard but most are effective 1 January 2010.
Amendments to IFRS 1 which are effective for annual periods on or after 1 July 2010 provide limited exemption for first time
adopters to present comparative IFRS 7 fair value disclosures.
On 20 December, IFRS 1 is amended to;
• provide guidance for entities emerging from severe hyperinflation either to resume presenting IFRS financial statements or to
present IFRS financial statements for the first time.
The amendment above will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011. These amendments are not
relevant to the Company, as it is an existing IFRS preparer.
In 2010
• provide relief for first-time adopters of IFRSs from having to reconstruct transactions that occurred before their date of
transition to IFRSs.
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement
In November 2009, the first part of IFRS 9 relating to the classification and measurement of financial assets was issued. IFRS 9
will ultimately replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. The standard requires an entity to classify
its financial assets on the basis of the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow
characteristics of the financial asset, and subsequently measure the financial assets as either at amortized cost or at fair value.
The new standard is mandatory for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. The Company has not had an
opportunity to consider the potential impact of the adoption of this standard.
In October 2010, IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures is amended by IASB as part of its comprehensive review of off
balance sheet activities. The amendments will allow users of financial statements to improve their understanding of transfer
transactions of financial assets (for example, securitizations), including understanding the possible effects of any risks that may
remain with the entity that transferred the assets. The amendments also require additional disclosures if a disproportionate
amount of transfer transactions are undertaken around the end of a reporting period. The amendment will be effective for
annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011. The Company has not yet had an opportunity to consider the potential
impact of the adoption of this revised standard.
IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures
IAS 12 Income Taxes
In December 2010, IAS 12 is amended. IAS 12 requires an entity to measure the deferred tax relating to an asset depending on
whether the entity expects to recover the carrying amount of the asset through use or sale. It can be difficult and subjective to
assess whether recovery will be through use or through sale when the asset is measured using the fair value model in IAS 40
Investment Property. The amendment provides a practical solution to the problem by introducing a presumption that recovery
of the carrying amount will, normally be, be through sale. The amendment will be effective for annual periods beginning on
or after 1 January 2012. The Company has not yet had an opportunity to consider the potential impact of the adoption of this
revised standard.
IAS 24 (Revised 2009) Related Party Disclosures
In November 2009, IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures was revised. The revision to the standard provides government-related
entities with a partial exemption from the disclosure requirements of IAS 24. The revised standard is mandatory for annual
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011. The Company has not yet had an opportunity to consider the potential impact of
the adoption of this revised standard.
IAS 32 (Amendments) Financial Instruments: Presentation and IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements
The amendments to IAS 32 and IAS 1 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 February 2010. The amendments
address the accounting for rights issues (rights, options or warrants) that are denominated in a currency other than the
functional currency of the issuer. Previously, such rights issues were accounted for as derivative liabilities. However, the
amendment requires that, provided certain conditions are met, such rights issues are classified as equity regardless of the
currency in which the exercise price is denominated. The Company has not yet had an opportunity to consider the potential
impact of the adoption of this amendment to the standard.
IFRIC 14 (Amendments) Pre-payment of a Minimum Funding Requirement
Amendments to IFRIC 14 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011. The amendments affect entities
that are required to make minimum funding contributions to a defined benefit pension plan and choose to pre-pay those
contributions. The amendment requires an asset to be recognized for any surplus arising from voluntary pre-payments made.
The Company does not expect any impact of the adoption of this amendment on the financial statements.
IFRIC 19 Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments
IFRIC 19 is effective for annual 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 part, a financial liability. The Company has not yet had an opportunity
to consider the potential impact of the adoption of this amendment to the standard.
Annual Improvements May 2010
Further to the above amendments and revised standards, the IASB has issued Annual Improvements to IFRSs in May 2010 that
cover 7 main standards/interpretations as follow: IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards; IFRS
3 Business Combinations; IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures; IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements;
IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes. With the exception of amendments to IFRS 3
and IAS 27 which are effective on or after 1 July 2010, all other amendments are effective on or after 1 January 2011.
Early adoption of these amendments are allowed. The Company has not yet had an opportunity to consider the potential
impact of the adoption of these amendments to the standards.
Revenue Recognition
Sales of goods:
Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and services in the ordinary
course of the Company’s activities. Revenue is shown net of value-added tax, returns, rebates and discounts (Note 28). At each
balance sheet date any expenditure incurred but not yet invoiced is estimated and accrued. Revenue is recognised as follows:
2.6 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Sales of goods are recognised when the Company has delivered or sold products to the customer, the customer has accepted the
products and collectibility of the related receivables is reasonably assured. It is the Company’s policy to sell its products to the
customers with a right of return. Accumulated experience is used to estimate and provide for such returns at the time of sale.
Interest revenue is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate
applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to
that asset’s net carrying amount.
Management
Dividend and interest revenue:
Dividend revenue from investments is recognized when the shareholders’ rights to receive payment have been established.
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Costs, including an appropriate portion of fixed and variable
overhead expenses, are assigned to inventories held by the method most appropriate to the particular class of inventory, with
the majority being valued on a weighted average cost basis. Net realizable value represents the estimated selling price less
all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make a sale. When the net realizable value of inventory is less than
cost, the inventory is written down to the net realizable value and the expense is included in statement of income/(loss) in
the period the write-down or loss occurred. When the circumstances that previously caused inventories to be written down
below cost no longer exist or when there is clear evidence of an increase in net realizable value because of changed economic
circumstances, the amount of the write-down is reversed. The reversal amount is limited to the amount of the original writedown.
In 2010
Inventories
Tangible Assets
Any revaluation increase arising on the revaluation of such land, buildings and machinery is credited in equity to the properties
revaluation reserve, except to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease for the same asset previously recognized
in profit or loss, in which case the increase is credited to profit or loss to the extent of the decrease previously charged. A
decrease in carrying amount arising on the revaluation of such land and buildings is charged to profit or loss to the extent
that it exceeds the balance, if any, held in the properties revaluation reserve relating to a previous revaluation of that asset.
Depreciation on revalued buildings is charged to profit or loss.
Land, buildings and machinery held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes,
are stated in the balance sheet at their revalued amounts, being the fair value at the date of revaluation, less any subsequent
accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. The fair value at the date of revaluation is the
estimated amount for which a property could be exchanged on the date of the valuation between a willing buyer and a willing
seller in an arm’s length transaction. Fair value determination is based on the market and cost approaches using quoted
market prices for similar items when available and in some cases, using replacement cost when appropriate. (for the preceding
sentence, please tailor if the entity has specific fair value estimation approaches. Disclosure of Fair Value Determination is
mandatory.) Revaluations are performed with sufficient regularity such that the carrying amount does not differ materially from
that which would be determined using fair values at the balance sheet date.
Fair Value Method
On the subsequent sale or retirement of a revalued property, the related revaluation surplus remaining in the properties
revaluation reserve is transferred directly to retained earnings. No transfer is made from the revaluation reserve to retained
earnings except when an asset is derecognized.
Properties in the course of construction for production, rental or administrative purposes, or for purposes not yet determined,
are carried at cost, less any recognized impairment loss. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other property
assets, commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.
Assets held under finance leases are depreciated over their expected useful lives on the same basis as owned assets or, where
shorter, the term of the relevant lease.
The gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the
difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are mainly composed of computer software and other related intangible assets none of which were internally
generated. All other items of intangible assets acquired before 1 January 2005 are carried at cost in the equivalent purchasing
power of TL as at 31 December 2004 and items acquired after 1 January 2005 are carried at cost, less the subsequent
depreciation and impairment loss, if any, at the financial statements. Amortization is charged on a straight-line basis over their
estimated useful lives of three years.
The estimated useful life and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period, with the effect
of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis. Residual values of intangible assets are deemed as
negligible. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable
amount.
Impairment of non-financial assets
Assets that have an indefinite useful life, for example goodwill, are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for
impairment. Assets that are subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s
carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to
sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are
separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are
reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.
Borrowing Costs
Borrowings are recognised initially at the proceeds received, net of any transaction costs incurred. In subsequent periods,
borrowings are measured at amortised cost using the effective yield method; any difference between the proceeds (net of
transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised at the consolidated comprehensive income statement as finance
cost over the period of the borrowings. Loans with a maturity of less than 12 months are included in current liabilities and
in non-current liabilities with a maturity of longer than 12 months. Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition,
construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready
for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for
their intended use or sale. In 2010, the Company does not have any qualified assets, and borrowing costs are recognised in the
consolidated comprehensive income statement in the period in which they are incurred.
Financial Assets
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified in this
category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term or if so designated by management. Assets in this
category are classified as current assets, if they are either held for trading or are expected to be realized within 12 months of the
balance sheet date. The Company has no financial assets in this category.
Financial Instruments
The Company classifies its financial assets in the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and
receivables, available-for-sale financial assets and held-to-maturity financial assets. The classification depends on the purpose for
which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial asset and of allocating interest income
over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through
the expected life of the financial asset, or, where appropriate, a shorter period. Financial assets at fair value through profit or
loss are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of
selling in the short term or if so designated by management.
Management
The effective interest method
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified in this
category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short-term. Derivatives are also categorized as held for trading
unless they are designated as hedges.
The fair value of available-for-sale monetary assets denominated in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign currency
and translated at the spot rate at the end of the reporting period. The foreign exchange gains and losses that are recognized in
profit or loss are determined based on the amortised cost of the monetary asset. Other foreign exchange gains and losses are
recognized in other comprehensive income.
Loans and receivables
Trade receivables, loans, and other receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active
market are classified as ‘loans and receivables’. Loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective
interest method less any impairment.
Dividends on available-for-sale equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when the Group’s right to receive the
dividends is established.
Quoted equity investments and quoted certain debt securities held by the Group that are traded in an active market are
classified as being available- for-sale financial assets and are stated at fair value. The Group also has investments in unquoted
equity investments that are not traded in an active market but are also classified as available-for-sale financial assets and
stated at cost since their value can’t be reliably measured. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognized in
other comprehensive income and accumulated in the investments revaluation reserve with the exception of impairment losses,
interest calculated using the effective interest method, and foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary assets, which are
recognized in profit or loss. Where the investment is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss
previously accumulated in the investments revaluation reserve is reclassified to profit or loss.
In 2010
Available-for-sale financial assets
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets, other than those at FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each balance sheet date. Financial
assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial
recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been impacted. For financial assets
carried at amortized cost, the amount of the impairment is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present
value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate.
The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception
of trade receivables where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable
is uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are
credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognized in profit or
loss.
With the exception of AFS equity instruments, 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 through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the
impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized.
When an AFS financial asset is considered to be impaired, cumulative gains or losses previously recognized in other
comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss in the period.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments which
their maturities are three months or less from date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash
and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. The Group’s cash and cash equivalents are classified under the
category of ‘Loans and Receivables’.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified according to the substance of the contractual
arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument. An equity instrument is any
contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company after deducting all of its liabilities. The accounting
policies adopted for specific financial liabilities and equity instruments are set out below.
Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities at FVTPL or other financial liabilities.
Other financial liabilities
Other financial liabilities, including borrowings, are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs.
Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, with interest
expense recognized on an effective yield basis.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest
expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments
through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.
For the purpose of the consolidated financial statements, the results and financial position of each entity are expressed in TL.
In preparing the financial statements of the individual entities, transactions in currencies other than TL (foreign currencies)
are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At each balance sheet date, monetary items
denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items that
are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. Exchange differences are recognized in profit
or loss in the period in which they arise.
Foreign Currency Transactions
Loss per share
Companies can increase their share capital by making a pro-rata distribution of shares (“bonus shares”) to existing shareholders
from retained earnings. For the purpose of losses per share computations, the weighted average number of shares outstanding
during the year has been adjusted in respect of bonus shares issues without a corresponding change in resources, by giving
them retroactive effect for the year in which they were issued and for each earlier year.
Management
Loss per share disclosed in the comprehensive statement of income are determined by dividing net loss for the year by the
weighted average number of shares that have been outstanding during the year.
Events after the balance sheet date
In the case that events require a correction to be made occur subsequent to the balance sheet date, the Company makes
the necessary corrections to the financial statements. Moreover, the events that occur subsequent to the balance sheet date
and not require a correction to be made are disclosed in accompanying notes, where the decisions of the users of financial
statements are affected.
Provisions, contingent assets and contingent liabilities
In 2010
Subsequent events, announcements related to net profit or even declared after other selective financial information has been
publicly announced, include all events that take place between the balance sheet date and the date when balance sheet was
authorised for issue.
When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party,
the receivable is recognized as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the
receivable can be measured reliably.
Related Parties
For the purpose of the financial statements, shareholders having control, joint control or significant influence over the
Company, fellow subsidiaries and key management personnel together with companies controlled, jointly controlled or
significantly influenced by them are considered as and referred to as related parties. (Note 37).
The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the
balance sheet date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured
using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that the
Company will be required to settle that obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Operating Segments
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decisionmaker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the
operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors that takes strategic decisions.
The Board of Directors makes strategic decisions as a whole over the operations of the Company as the Company operates
in a single industry and operations outside Turkey do not present an important portion in overall operations. Based on
those reasons, there is a single reportable segment in accordance with the provisions in IFRS 8 and segment reporting is not
applicable.
Government Grants
Grants from the government are recognized at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be
received and the Company will comply with all attached conditions.
Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognized in the comprehensive income statement over the period
necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate.
Government grants relating to property, plant and equipment are included in non-current liabilities as deferred government
grants and are credited to the comprehensive income statement on a straight-line basis over the expected lives of the related
assets.
Taxation and deferred income taxes
Turkish tax legislation does not permit a parent company and its subsidiary to file a consolidated tax return. Therefore,
provisions for taxes, as reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, have been calculated on a separateentity basis.
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
Current tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the
consolidated comprehensive income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible
in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company’s liability for current tax is
calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and
associates, and interests in joint ventures, except where the Company is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference
and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from
deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognized to the extent that it is
probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and they
are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer
probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability
is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the
balance sheet date. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow
from the manner in which the Company expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and
liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current
tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its
current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
Employee Benefits
Under Turkish law and union agreements, lump sum payments are made to employees retiring or involuntarily leaving the
Company. Such payments are considered as being part of defined retirement benefit plan as per International Accounting
Standard No. 19 (revised) “Employee Benefits” (“IAS 19”).
The retirement benefit obligation recognized in the balance sheet represents the present value of the defined benefit
obligation.
Management
Termination and retirement benefits:
Statement of cash flows
In the cash flow statement, the cash flows for the term are classified and reported basing upon the operations, investment and
financing activities.
Cash flows related with the investment activities indicate the cash flows which the Company uses and acquires in its
investment activities.
Cash flows related with the financing activities indicate the resources which the Company uses in its financing activities and
the repayments of such resources.
In 2010
Cash flows from operating activities indicate the cash flow from the Company’s activities.
Cash and cash-like assets include the cash and bank deposits as well as short-term high-liquidity investments with certain
amounts and with maturities equal to or less than 3 months, which may be easily liquidated.
Ordinary shares are classified as capital. As approved, the proportionate capital increases as applied to existing shareholders
are reported at their nominal values. Dividend payments of ordinary shares are entered in the records in the term when they
are described in the capital. And stock issuance premiums represent the difference between the face values of the publicly
traded stocks and their sales prices.
Capital and dividends
2.7 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
Significant estimates of the Company management
As described on Note 2.5. management during the implementation of the accounting policies, with a significant impact on the
amounts recognized in financial statements (other than the estimates discussed below) has made the following comments:
Impairment of available-for-sale financial assets
The Company reviews its portfolio of available-for-sale financial assets for potential impairment. The determination of impairment
requires management to use significant judgment especially in AFS financial assets that do not have independent market valuation
benchmarks. In making its assessment, the Company evaluates various factors including the financial health of and outlook of the
investee, the significance in the decline in the fair value of the investment and whether the decline is prolonged or temporary.
Deferred taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded using substantially enacted tax rates for the effect of temporary differences
between book and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Currently, there are deferred tax assets resulting from operating loss carryforwards and deductible temporary differences, all of which could reduce taxable income in the future. Based on available
evidence, both positive and negative, it is determined whether it is probable that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will
be realized. The main factors which are considered include future earnings potential; cumulative losses in recent years; history of
loss carry-forwards and other tax assets expiring; the carry-forward period associated with the deferred tax assets; future reversals
of existing taxable temporary differences; tax-planning strategies that would, if necessary, be implemented, and the nature of the
income that can be used to realize the deferred tax asset. If based on the weight of all available evidence, it is the Company’s belief
that taxable profit will not be available sufficient to utilize some portion of these deferred tax assets, then some portion of or all of
the deferred tax assets are not recognized.
The Company has not recognized deferred tax assets because it is in the development stage and it is not apparent that taxable
profit will be available sufficient to recognize deferred tax assets. If future results of operations exceed the Company’s current
expectations, the existing unrecognized deferred tax assets may be recognized, resulting in future tax benefits.
Provision for doubtful receivables
Impairment loss in the trade receivables and other receivables are based upon the Company management’s evaluation about
the volume of the amount of trade, past experiences and overall economic conditions.
Useful lives of the assets
The Company reviews the estimated useful lives of its property, plant and equipment at the end of each reporting period. The
Company takes into consideration the intended use of the property, plant and equipment, the advancement in technology related
to the particular type of property, plant and equipment as well as other factors that may require management to extend or shorten
the useful lives and the assets’ related depreciation.

Market Valuations
Land, buildings and land improvements, machinery and equipments are stated at their fair values based on the valuations
performed by the external independent valuers at 31 December 2008, less the subsequent depreciation, based on the
Company’s assumption that those values do not significantly differ from their fair values at 31 December 2010. As there were not
any recent similar buying/selling transactions nearby, revaluations of land were based on the method of reference comparison
whereas revaluations of buildings and land improvements were derived from the present situations of the construction and
market values.
Movements in revaluation reserve related to land, buildings, land improvements, machinery and equipment in 2010 and 2009

Provision for employment termination benefits
31 December 2010 1.673.357 31 December

Provision for employment termination benefit
Under Turkish Labor Law, the Company is required to pay employment termination benefits to each employee who has qualified.
Also, employees are required to be paid their retirement pay provisions who retired by gaining right to receive retirement pay
provisions according to current 506 numbered Social Insurance Law’s 6 March 1981 dated, 2422 numbered, 25 August 1999
dated and 4447 numbered with 60th article that has been changed. Some transition provisions related to the pre-retirement
service term was excluded from the law since the related law was changed as of 23 May 2002.
The amount payable consists of one month’s salary limited to a maximum of TL 2.517,01 TL for each year of service as of 31
December 2010 (2009: TL 2.365,16).
The provision has been calculated by estimating the present value of the future probable obligation of the Company arising from
the retirement of employees. IAS 19 requires actuarial valuation methods to be developed to estimate the enterprise’s obligation
under defined benefit plans. Accordingly, the following actuarial assumptions were used in the calculation of the total liability:
The principal assumption is that the maximum liability for each year of service will increase parallel with inflation. Thus, the
discount rate applied represents the expected real rate after adjusting for the anticipated effects of future inflation. Consequently,
in the accompanying financial statements as at 31 December 2010, the provision has been calculated by estimating the present
value of the future probable obligation of the Company arising from the retirement of the employees. The provisions at the
respective balance sheet dates have been calculated assuming an annual inflation rate of 5,10% and a discount rate of 10%,
resulting in a real discount rate of approximately 4,66% (2009: 5,92%).
The anticipated rate of forfeitures is considered as 95,80% (2009: 96,85%). As the maximum liability is revised semi annually, the
maximum amount of TL 2.623,23 effective from 1 January 2011 has been taken into consideration in calculation of provision from
employment termination benefits.

Income tax for the statement of comprehensive income
Reconciliation of taxation income:
Corporate Tax
The Company is subject to Turkish corporate taxes. Provision is made in the accompanying financial statements for the
estimated charge based on the Company’s results for the years and periods.
The effective tax rate in 2010 is 20% (2009: 20%) for the Company.
In Turkey, advance tax returns are filed on a quarterly basis. Advance corporate income tax rate applied in 2010 is 20%. (2009:
20%). Losses can be carried forward for offset against future taxable income for up to 5 years. However, losses cannot be
carried back for offset against profits from previous periods.
In 2010
Corporate tax is applied on taxable corporate income, which is calculated from the statutory accounting profit by adding back
non-deductible expenses, and by deducting dividends received from resident companies, other exempt income and investment
incentives utilized.
Income tax witholding
In addition to corporate taxes, companies should also calculate income withholding taxes and funds surcharge on any
dividends distributed, except for companies receiving dividends who are Turkish residents and Turkish branches of foreign
companies. Income withholding tax applied in between 24 April 2003 – 22 July 2006 is 10% and commencing from 23 July
2006, this rate has been changed to 15% upon the Council of Ministers’ Resolution No: 2006/10731. Undistributed dividends
incorporated in share capital are not subject to income withholding tax.
Furthermore, there is no procedure for a final and definitive agreement on tax assessments. Companies file their tax returns
between 1-25 April following the close of the accounting year to which they relate. Tax authorities may, however, examine such
returns and the underlying accounting records and may revise assessments within five years.
Deferred taxes
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based upon temporary differences arising between its financial
statements as reported for IFRS purposes and its statutory tax financial statements. These differences usually result in the
recognition of revenue and expenses in different reporting periods for IFRS and tax purposes and they are given below.
For calculation of deferred tax asset and liabilities, the rate of 20% (2009: 20%) is used.
Withholding tax at the rate of 19.8% is still applied to investment allowances relating to investment incentive certificates
obtained prior to 24 April 2003. Subsequent to this date, the investments without investment incentive certificates do not
qualify for tax allowance.
35. TAX ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (CONTINUED)
In Turkey, the companies cannot declare a consolidated tax return, therefore subsidiaries that have deferred tax assets position
were not netted off against subsidiaries that have deferred tax liabilities position and disclosed separately.
Deferred tax (asset)/liabilities:
Revaluation on land, land improvements, buildings and machinery and
equipment
Net difference between the tax base and carrying value of property plant
equipment and intangible assets
Provision for employment termination benefits

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for tax losses carried forward to the extent that the realisation of the related tax benefit
through the future taxable profits is probable, this amount is TL 72.090.577 (2009: TL 64.658.728) at the balance sheet date.
On the other hand, the Company did not recognise deferred income tax assets of TL 14.418.115 (2009: TL 12.931.746) arising
from tax losses carried forward, certain temporary differences between the tax base and the carrying value of property, plant,
equipment and intangible assets and impairment on financial assets as their future utilisation is not virtually certain.
Years of expiration of tax losses carried forward which are not recognized as of 31 December are as follows:

a) Capital Risk
In order to maintain the Company’s capital structure, the Company may adjust the dividend balances, capital return to
shareholders and sell assets in order to pay off its debt.
The Company monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net
debt is calculated as total borrowings, including derivative financial instruments, less cash and cash equivalents. Total capital is
calculated as “equity” as shown in the balance sheet plus net debt.

Management
The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in
order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to
reduce the cost of capital.
The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, price risk, cash flow and
fair value interest rate risk), capital risk and liquidity risk. The Company’s overall risk management program focuses on the
unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the
Company.
Risk management is carried out under policies approved by the Board of Directors of the Company (“the Board”). The Board
provides principles for over-all risk management as well as policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk,
interest rate risk and capital risk.
b) Financial Risk Factors
• safeguarding the Company’s core earnings stream from its major assets through the effective control and management of
foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk;
• effective and efficient usage of credit facilities in both the short and long term through the adoption of reliable liquidity
management planning and procedures;
• ensuring that all contracts and agreements related to risk management activities are coordinated and consistent throughout
the Company and that they comply where necessary with all relevant regulatory and statutory requirements.
The financial risk management objectives of the Company are defined as follows:
38. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)
a) Credit Risk:
Ownership of financial assets involves the risk that counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of their agreements and in
turn credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, deposits in banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures
to customers, including outstanding receivables and committed transactions. Risk control assesses the credit quality of the
customer, taking into account its financial position, past experience and other factors. These risks are monitored by credit
ratings and limiting the aggregate risk to any individual counter party and receiving guarantees when required. The credit risk
is generally highly diversified due to the large number of entities comprising the ultimate customer bases and their dispersion
across different industries.
The following table analyses the Company’s credit risk as of 31 December 2010 and 2009:

As of the balance sheet date, no collaterals are received for non-impaired, but overdue trade receivables.
b) Liquidity Risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and cash equivalents, the availability of funding through
an adequate amount of credit facilities and the ability to close out market positions. The ability to fund the existing and
prospective debt requirements is managed by maintaining the availability of adequate committed funding lines from high
quality lenders. In order to maintain liquidity, the Company management closely monitors the collection of trade receivables on
time in order to prevent any financial burden that may result from late collections, and the Company treasury aims to maintain
flexibility in funding by keeping committed credit lines available.

ii) Interest rate risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk through the impact of rate changes on interest bearing assets and liabilities.
The Company’s interest rate risk arises mainly from borrowings (Note 37). Borrowings issued at variable rates and other interest
bearing liabilities expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk which is partially offset by interest bearing assets. The
interest rate risk is monitored by analysis of the assets and liabilities that are responsive to the fluctuations in interest rates.

According to the interest rate sensitivity analysis performed as at 31 December 2010, if interest rates had been 1% higher
while all other variables being constant, net loss for the current year would be TL 5,846 (2009: TL187,589) higher as a result of
additional interest expense that would be incurred on financial instruments with floating rates.
iii) Price risk
The operational profitability of the Company and the cash flows provided from the operations are affected by the sanitary paper
sector which are changing according to the competition in the relevant market and the changes in the raw material prices. These
relevant prices are closely followed up by the Company management and Audit Committee to reduce the pressure of the costs
on selling prices and necessary precautions for cost reductions are taken accordingly. The Company has not used derivative
instruments or entered into a similar agreement. Price risk is monitored by Board of Directors and Audit Committee via regular
meetings.

Categories of financial instruments and fair values
39. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (FAIR VALUE AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT DISCLOSURES) (CONTINUED)
Fair value is the amount at which a financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other
than in a forced sale or liquidation, and is best evidenced by a quoted market price, if one exists.
The estimated fair values of financial instruments have been determined by the Company using available market information
and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, judgment is necessarily required to interpret market data to estimate the fair
value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a
current market exchange.
The following methodologies and assumptions have been used in the estimation of the fair value of financial instruments.
Financial Assets
The fair values of balances denominated in foreign currencies, which are translated at year-end exchange rates, are considered
to approximate to their carrying values. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at their fair values. The fair values of trade
receivables and due from related parties are considered to approximate their respective carrying values due to their shortterm nature. The cost of available-for-sale investments not traded in active markets, less, if any, impairments are considered to
approximate their fair values.
Trade payables, payables to related parties and other monetary liabilities are estimated to be presented with their discounted
carrying amounts and they are considered to approximate to their fair values and the fair values of balances denominated in
foreign currencies.
40. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
41. MANAGEMENT PLANS
The Company’s current liabilities exceed its current assets by TL 56.031.362 as at 31 December 2010, and the Company’s net
loss and accumulated losses for the year 2010 amount to TL 12.827.562 and TL 35.037.808, respectively. In this respect, the
Company management developed a considered plan in order to cast doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern. Accordingly, the following plan has been developed:
i. The Company will continue its cost improvement efforts in 2011, as it did during the previous years. New 6 Sigma projects
will be implemented during 2011, following the 6 Sigma project finalized in 2010. Sales activities at profitable locations will
be resumed, which will necessitate the efficient and effective utilization of the human resources of the entity’s sales and
marketing as well as production departments. The entity plans to enrich its current export channel, as its profitability is high
and its sales terms of relatively shorter maturities are expedient. The Entity aims to increase its operational profitability even
further, through the expenditure of the efforts listed above.
ii. The entity had reviewed its sales strategy in 2009, and had revised it to only focus on those sales points that were highlyprofitable. Moreover, production resources were re-allocated away from products with low profit margins toward those with
higher profit margins. This resulted in the attainment of higher revenues, and thereby, higher profits.
The increase in the sector’s raw material prices to the highest price level of the last 15 years, however, decreased the entity’s
profits for the year 2010. As a result, the entity made its plans with the aim of increasing profitability during 2011, which began
with relatively lower raw material prices.
In line with these strategic objectives, the percentage of paper napkins— the least profitable—in the Entity’s product line, were
significantly reduced. Additionally, the market was segregated into sales channels and productive sales points were identified.
iii. The Entity’s dealers are continuously being improved, based on considerations of their risk structures. The Entity will
continue to revise its distribution network in the future, aiming to work with distributors that are able to enhance the position
of its products within the market.
iv. The Entity will continue the implementation of its “channel profitability” strategy in 2011, as it did in 2010 and 2009.
Having segregated the market into numerous channels considered individually as well as collectively, the Entity has
determined the specific cost-cutting efforts it will implement in each channel, which has enabled it to gain greater control over
cost contributors.
v. The Entity has a deink facility, which provides it a competitive edge in its sector, with regards to cost-cutting. In 2010, this
plant was more effectively utilized and the associated variable costs were successfully trimmed. The Entity will concentrate
on the sale of those products that can be produced from the raw material obtained through de-inking recycled paper, which is
considerably cheaper than cellulose.
41. MANAGEMENT PLANS (CONTINUED)
x. The capacity deficiency that occurred in the second half of 2010 as a result of a decrease in the supply-chain channel was
managed in part, by supplementing with finished goods, exports, and domestic WIP products. The entity plans to focus on
domestic sales of WIP products with an eye for increasing profitability.
The main shareholder of the Company, Yaşar Holding A.Ş., has also committed to provide the necessary financial support for the
strengthening of the financial structure of the Company and for the timely payment of the Company’s existing trade and nontrade payables. Accordingly, the Company management and the main shareholder of the Company believe that the Company
has the ability to continue its operations in the foreseeable future.
In 2010
ix. Fundamental changes to the sales system were implemented in 2009. The distribution channels used by the entity’s dealers
were ranked according to revenue, which enabled the entity to get a deeper understanding of both its dealers and the overall
market. The transition to the SAP application by dealers in the second half of 2010 is expected to tighten the entity’s control
over its dealers, in addition to increasing the efficiency with which it transacts with its dealers. SAP will enable the entity to
monitor dealers’ inventory levels and sales, and intervene where necessary. The system will also be revamped with regards to
tighter control over granting sales discounts, and monitoring of shelf prices at each dealer individually, in an effort to increase
profitability. The new system, which focuses on after sales management will continue to be improved throughout 2011. The
system aims to discipline and implement a more realistic pricing policy throughout the entire country. Quantitative distribution
is a priority for the entity. Therefore, the entity provides guidance to all of its dealers in increasing their distribution quantity.
viii. According to the results of the research studies conducted in 2009 to identify and understand consumer needs and
expectations, the entity decided to review its brand structure. The entity increased the pace of marketing efforts aiming to
simplify its image, as market research revealed that its current brand image was perceived to be too complex to effectively
communicate the intended message to targeted consumers. Segments incorporated under the Lily brand were analyzed
thoroughly, in an effort to understand the way in which the brand was perceived and positioned within the consumers’ mind.
In light of the findings obtained through this analysis, it was decided that the Lily brand would be positioned as the “flagship”
brand, and concurrent efforts to improve both the brand’s image and product quality would be made. These developments led
to the emergence of a new brand structure in 2011, departing from the hitherto implemented umbrella approach.
vii. The entity volunteered as a pilot facility for the implementation of various energy conservation practices under the energy
efficiency initiative launched by the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources on 18.04.2007, and completed its application to
the program which involved reducing its energy consumption by 11% within the next three years. The entity’s application for
entry into the initiative was successful; the program began in January of 2010 and will last for the subsequent three years.
Management
vi. The entity is going to implement numerous activities geared towards decreasing production costs in the face of increasing
input costs, in line with its operational cost-cutting objective.
