In 2013, DYH will keep abreast of changes in online media and seize growth opportunities via mergers and acquisitions in this field.

OUR ROAD MAP

With innovative vision and know-how, DYH undertakes investments that add value to the Turkish media sector. In 2013, DYH will keep abreast of changes in online media and seize growth opportunities via mergers and acquisitions in this field. DYH plans to partner with key players within Turkish and global media companies to undertake sustainable investments. In the coming period, the Company will focus on partnerships that contribute to consistent growth. In addition, the Company will keep an eye on investment opportunities overseas. The TV channel Kanal D is a pioneer with regard to Turkish television production with its modern and creative broadcasting line and original programs. Kanal D’s successful performance will be enhanced further with even richer program content, while increasingly more effort is exerted to bolster tv2, launched successfully in August 2012. The operations to increase the brand awareness of CNN Türk among viewers will continue. Doğan TV Holding’s leading production companies, D Prodüksiyon and InDHouse, will continue focusing on content production. Continuously updating its service packages in line with changing market dynamics, D-Smart has enabled its clients to access more content from computers and laptops with the new D-Smart BLU launched in March 2012. Viewers are no longer dependent on the TV screen and can receive programs via Internet.

In 2013, D-Smart will increase the number of HD channels, expand technological investments, enhance services and content and reach out to more consumers through different package and price options. The Company will also expand the service area of D-Smart BLU to allow clients to access content via the Internet with PCs, laptops, tablet PCs and smartphones. As a result, more value will be created for D-Smart subscribers. The Company believes that both domestic and international markets will aid in the growth of “online” advertising revenue and will outpace average market growth. Accordingly, aside from striving to enhance its efficiency and access in the conventional media, the Company is keen on capitalizing on the rapid growth of the Internet and increasing its revenue. In the new media order, the objective is to access readers not only via newspapers but through every platform. Currently, Hürriyet Internet Group reaches out to around 6.8 million people via channels such as newspapers, the worldwide web, tablet PCs and smartphones. In the coming years, the Group will strive to reach ten million people and increase the share of Internet in its overall revenue. As for the overseas, the Group’s subsidiary TME, mainly operating as a classified ad company, will complete its

transformation from a print media company to an online media company and targets to receive 50% of its total revenue from the Internet. In the period ahead, Doğan Gazetecilik will continue its consistent growth thanks to strong brands, efficient management and responsible broadcasting approach. Online radio broadcasting has become ever more popular; the technical capabilities of radio under the umbrella of DYH will be enhanced by means of the state-of-the-art technology. Radios will be enriched in terms of technology and content; promotion campaigns will be organized to increase other ways to listen. As the leader of its sector, Doğan Burda Magazine Group will preserve its strong position in terms of brand recognition, circulation and advertising as well as its market leadership in 2013. Doğan Burda plans to diversify its publications to reach out to a wider audience and will undertake the necessary investment to improve and enhance its current portfolio. DYH is currently assessing the growth potential of the Turkish advertising sector and in the coming period, plans to increase its advertising revenue in all fields of broadcasting and publication.

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRPERSON

Doğan Yayın Holding’s Esteemed Investors and Shareholders, Business Partners and Employees,

DYH Corporate Governance Ratıng 2011

2012

(ISS Corporate Services)

8.87

9.00

Following impressive growth performance in 2010 and 2011, the Turkish economy undertook a soft landing in 2012, closing the year with a 2.2% growth rate. While fluctuations continued in the world economy in 2012, the prudent and disciplined economic measures implemented in Turkey caused a deceleration of the growth rate, but led to positive results in terms of financial stability. Favorable development in the Turkish economy in 2012 was experienced as the drop in the current account deficit. In 2011, the ratio of the current account deficit to national income had approached 10%, thus appearing as a critical problem that needed to be tackled with care. According to data from the Central Bank of Turkey, the 2012 current account deficit was US$ 28,157 million less than that of the previous year and fell to about 6% of the national income by the end of the year. This sharp fall was a clear response to questions whether Turkish economic stability would endure. The diversification of export markets and the rise in exports despite the contraction of trade with the severely crisisstricken European Union pointed to what can be achieved when Turkish entrepreneurs follow the right foreign trade policies. Despite this development, however, the current account deficit still remains one of the most critical problems of the Turkish economy.

According to the Turkish Statistical Institute, in 2012 the consumer price index rose by 6.16% and the producer price index by 2.45%. The CPI fell to its lower level in 25 years and the PPI dropped to its lowest level in 44 years. The international credit rating firm Fitch Ratings upgraded Turkey’s credit rating to investment grade strengthening our belief that foreign capital inflows to Turkey will increase in 2013 and that new investments will add more value to the economy. Our hope is that the private sector will sustain its dynamism in terms of employment and growth with its innovative vision and ambitious investments. As for 2013, we see that the global economy is giving signals of recovery; we believe that growth expectations are more optimistic than in 2012. The Medium Term Plan anticipates that the economy in Turkey will grow by 4% in 2013; we expect the Turkish economy to grow by 4.5%. As a media group, we observed that in 2012 the national advertising market expanded by 7.4% in Turkish lira terms. This stands out as yet another indicator of successful Turkish economic performance, especially in light of data those points to a drop in advertising investment in developed countries. The breakdown of ad investment by the media shows that TV channels get the highest share, followed by newspapers and Internet increases its share daily.

In 2012, we took steps to adapt to the transformation within the economy and media sectors, preserving our robust financial structure and leadership in the advertising market while remaining the strongest Turkish media brand in all of our business lines. Our consolidated sales revenue increased by 8% to TL 2.5 billion and our operating profit before income and expenses from other operations rose by 81% toTL 152 million. The Company’s market capitalization rose by 66% to reach US$ 873 million. In the light of this performance, Fitch Ratings confirmed our local and foreign currency credit rating as “B+” and upgraded our outlook from “stable” to “positive.” Another international credit rating agency, ISS Corporate Services, revised our corporate governance rating upwards from 8.87 to 9.00, out of 10. To keep abreast of the latest communication technologies and ensuing new business models, the Company revised its Broadcasting and Publishing Principles, first disclosed to the public in 1999. We updated the document, divided it into categories of publishing, broadcasting and social media and then shared it with the public at large. In order to ensure the oversight of these principles, we set up a new Broadcasting and Publishing Board, representative of a large section of society. Running all operations utilizing corporate citizenship awareness, DYH made significant contributions to the social development of Turkey in 2012.

doğan yayın holding 2012 Annual Report

The Aydın Doğan Foundation continued efforts to promote education, the arts and freedom of expression. As part of the “No to Domestic Violence!” campaign, which completed its eight year, DYH plays an active role in efforts to draft laws and regulations to prevent violence against women. In this regard, various events were held jointly with the Ministry of Family and Social Policies, Ministry of EU Affairs, General Directorate for Women’s Status and NGOs. The conferences, workshops and TV programs organized by the Holding throughout the year helped raise public awareness of domestic violence. In the light of these developments, we are hopeful and excited about 2013. The ratio of advertising spending to GDP is still very low in Turkey compared to developed economies, indicating the great potential for growth in this field. Doğan Yayın Holding will keep a close watch on developments in the world and continue to invest heavily in digital broadcasting. We will sustain our large footprint in publishing and broadcasting through successful risk management, productive business processes a robust financial structure and a modern broadcasting and publishing approach in 2013. The entire Doğan Yayın Holding Family will continue its sustainable and profitable growth drive into 2013 and will add value to society and the economy. Best regards,

In 2012, our consolidated sales revenue grew by 8% to reach TL 2.5 billion, as a result of the rise in the digital platform and ADSL subscribers.

MESSAGE FROM THE CEO

Esteemed Shareholders,

2,526

In 2012, the turmoil in the global economy and the recession in the Euro Zone reached alarming levels. It is not possible to paint an upbeat picture for the coming period; however, Turkey managed to preserve its macroeconomic equilibrium despite the global uncertainty thanks to its robust financial structure and decisive fiscal policies. The Turkish economy grew rapidly until the last quarter of 2011, before losing steam in 2012 due to the slowdown of the world economy; it closed the year with a growth rate of 2.2%. One of the most crucial developments in the Turkish economy last year was the contraction of the current account deficit resulting from a 21% drop in the trade deficit. Despite this development, however, the current account continues to be a critical issue for the Turkish economy. Another important development was the faster-than-expected drop in the inflation rate. Our hope is that 2013 will be a vibrant period during which profitable investment and partnership opportunities arise in the Turkish economy. The Turkish advertising market continued its expansion; it is estimated that the overall market grew by 7.4%, from TL 4.6 billion in 2011 to TL 5.0 billion in 2012. The TV advertising market rose by 7%, while the newspaper advertising market shrunk by 1%.

Sales Revenue TL million 2011

2012

In 2012, Doğan Yayın Holding’s publishing companies maintained their advertising revenue at the previous year’s level. In addition, despite the fall in newspaper and magazine circulation figures, increases in newspaper and magazine cover prices enabled companies to preserve their domestic circulation revenue.

Another important development for the Group concerned the Hürriyet newspaper’s real estate sale. Hürriyet completed the sale of its headquarter for 28 years, Hürriyet Medya Towers, including land and buildings on February 2012; and the sale of plots of land in Esenyurt in the last quarter of 2012. D-Smart, which operated under our subsidiary Doğan TV Holding since 2007, repositioned the brand Smile as “D-Smart Net” under the umbrella of D-Smart in May 2012, to create an entertainment platform which offers subscribers Internet and TV from a single source. As one of Turkey’s leading digital broadcasting platforms, D-Smart undertook new investments throughout the year in line with the new market dynamics and increased the number of Pay TV subscribers by 44% over the previous year to 872,000. The rise in the subscription revenue of D-Smart had a very positive effect on the Company’s broadcasting operations. DYH views digital media as a very crucial medium and continues to undertake investments in this field. The newspaper Hürriyet initiated a project dubbed “Go 2015 – Shaping the Future” with a view to integrating the editorial departments of Hürriyet and the Hürriyet Internet Group. In the new media order, we aim to reach out to our readership via every platform possible. In the field of digital media, we rolled out the premium video content service NETD in late 2012 offering services via Internet. D Prodüksiyon and InDHouse, two of Turkey’s leading production companies under the umbrella of Doğan TV Holding, continue to enhance content production. Additionally, we have taken important steps toward expanding our “entertainment”

product range through our radio stations, teleshopping companies and other firms such as DMC. In 2011, we decided to exercise the rights granted within the framework of Law No. 6111 on “Restructuring of Certain Receivables.” Within this scope, a portion of the calculated debt was paid in advance; and following eight installments, the remaining portion together with the ninth installment was paid on September 28, 2012. As such, the Group does not have any more liabilities falling within the scope of the Law No. 6111. Year 2012 was a time in which we reinforced our strong corporate governance practices. In this context, ISS Corporate Sevices Inc. (ICS), an international rating firm authorized to carry out ratings in Turkey as per Capital Markets Board’s (CMB) relevant regulations and resolutions, raised DYH’s corporate governance rating from 8.87 to 9.00 out of ten. An assessment of 2012 with regard to consolidated financial results reveals that consolidated sales revenue grew by 8% to reach TL 2.5 billion, mainly led by the rise in the digital platform and ADSL subscription revenues of our companies. The operating profit, on the other hand, increased by 81% to TL 152 million. In 2011, the Company had posted a loss of TL 1,194 million, due to one-off expenses stemming from the tax liability and increased tax basis as per the Law No. 6111. In 2012, however, favorable operational developments and gain on real estate sales allowed us to announce a net profit of TL 197 million.

doğan yayın holding 2012 Annual Report

A comparison between developed countries and Turkey in terms of the media sector’s total assets and advertising revenue shows that Turkey still has a vast potential. With a view to sustaining our pioneering and leading position in the domestic print and broadcasting segment, the Holding has aligned the advertising revenue target for 2013 with the growth rate of this sector in Turkey. In 2013, our objective will be to focus on online media, expanding daily both globally and domestically, via merges and/ or acquisitions and tap into this huge potential. In this regard, we are keeping a close watch on this area and evaluate profitable investment opportunities in all fields including the international media industry. In the upcoming year, Doğan Yayın Holding will sustain its strong position in broadcasting and publishing through its prestigious pioneering media brands and will continue to support social advancement. I would like extend my gratitude to our employees who added value to the Group with their ideas and labor throughout 2012, as well as to our investors, social and economic stakeholders, readers and viewers, who supported us through thick and thin. Best regards,

YAHYA ÜZDİYEN CEO

In 2012, DYH raised its consolidated sales revenue by 8% to TL 2.5 billion and its operating profit by 81% to TL 152 million.

Highlights of the Year

As a result of DYH’s robust financial structure and right investment decisions, the international credit rating agency Fitch Ratings confirmed DYH’s local and foreign currency credit rating at “B+” and upgraded its outlook from “stable” to “positive” on November 14, 2012.

In 2012, consolidated advertising revenue remained more or less unchanged from the previous year (TL 1,291 million). Consolidated revenue from publishing rose by 2% to reach TL 1,400 million. Circulation and printing revenue, on the other hand, increased by 3% in 2012 to TL 39 million; although circulation figures dropped, it was more than compensated for with a rise in sales prices and printing revenue.

As for DYH’s financial performance in 2012, the Company increased its consolidated sales revenue by 8%, from TL 2,338 million in 2011 to TL 2,526 million in 2012; publishing accounted for 55% of DYH’s consolidated revenues, broadcasting 42% and other operations 3%.

Consolidated revenue from broadcasting was up by 18% over the previous year, at TL 1,070 million. Previously broadcasting revenue consisted mainly of advertising revenue, after Smile, ADSL subscription revenue was placed under the category of “Other

Revenue,” the overall weight of subscription revenue in this segment increased. As a result of a rise in the digital platform, ADSL subscription revenue and sales to Star TV, the “Other Revenue” category under broadcasting, went up by 60% to reach TL 465 million in 2012. Consolidated gross profit rose by 12% over the previous year to TL 770 million and operating profit increased by 81% to reach TL 152 million while EBITDA grew by 29% to TL 324 million.

doğan yayın holding 2012 Annual Report

In 2012, TL 143 million gain from the sale of the Hürriyet building and plot of land had a positive contribution on the bottom-line.

In 2011, due to a controversial tax liability and increased tax basis, the Company had “Net Expenses from Other Operations” of TL 1,088 million. However, the TL 143 million in profit arising from the February 1, 2012 sale of the Hürriyet building and plot of land as well as TL 46 million received as the indemnity for the dissolution of the Turner share option contract, brought the “Net Income from Other Operations” to TL 169 million in 2012. Due to the drop in financial expenses emanating from foreign exchange rate losses, the Company posted net financial income of TL 2 million – instead of last year’s TL 299 million in “Net Financial Expenses.”

In 2011, the net loss for the period was TL 1,194 million, in 2012 there was a net profit of TL 197 million thanks to positive operating profit, gain on asset sales and net financial income. In 2011, the Company and its subsidiaries (direct or indirect) had tax liabilities arising from Law No. 6111. Within this scope, a portion of the calculated debt was paid in advance and a total of eighteen installments was set for the remainder of the payments. But, remaining portion together with the ninth installment was paid on September 28, 2012. As such, the Group or its direct or indirect subsidiaries do not have any more liabilities falling within the scope of the Law No. 6111.

From January to December 2012, DYH made fixed asset expenditures of TL 240 million (various technical equipment, computers, software, copyrights etc.; except investment property). This corresponds to an 8% decline versus the previous year. In 2012, net consolidated debt stood at TL 1,338 million. However, this figure is expected to fall in 2013, thanks to collection of the receivables from the subsidiary and real estate sales transactions took place in 2011 and 2012.

DYH continued its pioneering role in the Turkish media sector in 2012 with its strong brands in both publishing and broadcasting media.

Consolidated broadcasting revenue (before inter-segment eliminations) increased 17% over the prior year to reach TL 1,090 million in 2012. The uncertainties in the rating system had a negative impact on broadcasting ad revenues and therefore, the rise in consolidated revenue is due to increases in other revenue.

The increase in this revenue is due to the rise in digital platform and ADSL subscription revenue and that due to the sale of Star TV on November 3, 2011, DYH’s sales to Star TV during 2012 were classified as sales outside the Group rather than the Group sales as in 2011. On April 30, 2012, the companies Doğan İletişim and Doğan TV Dijital merged under the corporate identity of Doğan TV Dijital. As a result of this merger, the financial results of Doğan İletişim, previously classified under “Other” were reported under DYH’s broadcasting section. Due to the comparison principle, the reporting note ending on December 31, 2011 were restated in this scope.

As a result of the said merger, broadcasting revenue, comprised mostly of advertising income before, showed a significant increase. With the contribution of an increase in Pay TV subscribers and the inclusion of Smile ADSL subscription revenues, the weight of subscription revenue in the segment as a whole increased. EBITDA, on the other hand, increased by 33% from the previous year to reach TL 189 million.

SUSTAINABILITY

CSR projects implemented under the leadership of DYH companies and the Aydın Doğan Foundation not only create significant value, but also reach out to the wider masses and raise public awareness.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

DYH as a corporate citizen With the dynamism of its youthful population and a fast-growing economy, Turkey is developing further every day. In this process, corporate social responsibility projects have a crucial importance. Doğan Yayın Holding not only adds value to national employment and economy with the companies under its roof, but also bolsters social advancement with its social responsibility projects. As a corporate citizen DYH expended intense efforts in various fields in 2012 including the education of the youth, as well as the defense of the rights of women who play a critical role in social development. The Doğan Group believes that only welleducated generations with social responsibility and a high level of awareness can develop Turkey; it undertakes activities to help build a modern society respectful of universal values.

Corporate social responsibility projects implemented under the leadership of DYH companies and the Aydın Doğan Foundation not only create significant value, but also reach out to the wider masses and raise public awareness. “No! to Domestic Violence” Hürriyet’s “No! to Domestic Violence” campaign, launched eight years ago, went beyond social responsibility efforts, to become a solution partner vis-a-vis non-governmental organizations (NGO) and the Ministry of Family and Social Policies. The campaign has been raising awareness about domestic violence through publications, international conferences, workshops, concerts and other activities. It sets a precedent as one of the longestrunning social responsibility campaigns in the country. The campaign included numerous efficient initiatives, ranging

from opinion leadership to contributing to new legislation and established itself as one of the rarely seen long-running social responsibility efforts in Turkey. Emergency Helpline Established in 2007 within the scope of the “No! to Domestic Violence” campaign, in order to provide support on legal, psychological and safety issues to women who are victims of domestic abuse and violence, the Emergency Helpline is active 24/7. From October 15, 2007 until December 31, 2012, the Emergency Helpline was accessed by a total of 33,669 people;15,824 individuals received legal, corporate or psychological support on domestic violence. The Emergency Helpline assisted 11,420 victims or relatives and friends of victims.

The Emergency Helpline has assisted in 1,468 urgent cases to date. It sent police teams to most of the cases and directed a large number of the victims to shelters. The service receives calls from the 81 provinces in Turkey, Cyprus and 14 different nations (Germany, France, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belgium, the Netherlands, Australia, USA, Syria, Switzerland, Iran, Tunisia, the UK and Sweden). Awareness Raising Programs In 2012, the Company continued its efforts to raise public support on the solution of the domestic violence problem via conferences, workshops, TV programs, etc. In addition, within the scope of the “No! to Domestic Violence” campaign, local officials in Yozgat received Inter-institutional Cooperation Training on January 5 and 6, 2012 and Domestic Violence

On February 22, 23, 29, 2012, upon their demand, managers and employees of Istanbul Social Services and Children’s Protection Agency attended seminars on domestic violence therapy. Partnerships As part of the “No! to Domestic Violence” campaign, Penti Socks, a stocking manufacturer had celebrities Ayşe Arman, Kenan Doğulu and Şebnem Bozoklu design stockings. The sales revenue from these specialty products were donated to the Emergency Helpline by Penti. “No! to Domestic Violence” campaign and the Rightful Women Platform -of which the campaign is a member- played an active role in drafting laws and regulations against the violence towards women. In this regard, diverse activities were organized jointly with Ministry of Family and Social Policies, Ministry of EU Affairs, General Directorate on the Status of Women and various NGOs.

100,000 text messages against violence An SMS project was initiated under the “No! to Domestic Violence” campaign to help cover the operating costs of the Emergency Helpline. The campaign signed contracts with the Aralık Foundation association and mobile carriers Turkcell, Vodafone and Avea; they received legal permits to collect donations via the SMS number 6643.

The exhibition featured a Hürriyet cover page selected from each year from 1961 until 2011, as well as various photos and cartoons about migration from the newspaper’s archive. “DAD, SEND ME TO SCHOOL” CAMPAIGN Receiving a full education is critically important and in Turkey, girls especially are deprived of educational opportunities, Doğan Gazetecilik launched the social responsibility campaign in 2005 titled “Dad, Send Me to School” to play an important role in the upbringing of future generations. The project endeavors to transform girls, half of the population, into

productive individuals through education. Launched on April 23, 2005, “Dad, Send Me to School” campaign promotes the extension of education mobilization throughout Turkey and to make sure that all girls enroll in school. Within this framework, after the obstacles concerning girls enrolling in schools were identified, a series of activities were organized to raise awareness as well as to provide financial support. Hanzade Doğan Boyner, Chairperson of Doğan Gazetecilik, was the mastermind behind this comprehensive campaign. Many institutions supported the campaign by building dormitories and classrooms and giving scholarships in 15 cities identified as those with the greatest need. Doğan Gazetecilik, also, contributed TL 1 million to the campaign. The needs of students were immediately met with the vast support triggered by the mobilization.

SUSTAINABILITY

The “Dad, Send Me to School” campaign became a major mobilization with over 300,000 individuals making donations of more than TL 35 million.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Throughout the eight years since the launch of the campaign, 33 dormitories and 12 elementary schools were constructed by various individuals and institutions; 10,524 girls received educational scholarships and the Aydın Doğan Foundation supported the campaign by building five dormitories for girls. The dormitories built provided shelter for nearly 3,500 girls each year. In addition, training seminars for 500 parents were organized in five cities around the theme “My Child and I” in collaboration with the Mother and Child Education Foundation (AÇEV); a two-day-long special training session was held for the administrators of Regional Primary Boarding Schools, jointly with the Turkish Association of Private Schools; Kamil Koç Busses sponsored the furnishing of the common areas in the dormitories and girls staying in dormitories were also offered music lessons. Moreover, a platform for multilateral cooperation was formed with universities, students of the Social Awareness module at Sabancı University visited Kars Merkez Sabancı Dormitory for Girls and Sarıkamış Milliyet Dormitory for Girls; Işık University included a Social Awareness module in its curriculum and organized various activities at Mardin Milliyet Dormitory for Girls. In cooperation with the Turkish Family Health and Planning Foundation seminars on hygiene and health and in cooperation with Eczacıbaşı seminars entitled “Our Body and Health” were organized for female students staying in the dormitories.

One week training programs were organized annually in Istanbul for administrators and teachers of the dormitories on topics like puberty, dormitory management, communication skills and budget management. In June 2012, the fifth edition of these training programs was held in Istanbul in cooperation with the Ministry of National education. Fifty dormitory managers and lecturers from various cities participated in the event. In this program, Yücel Onat from the Onat Academy gave a seminar about the “Dynamics of Change.” Güler Kazmacı presented a lecture on “Speaking Turkish Effectively,” Boğaziçi University’s Peace Education Practice and Research Center gave a seminar on “Communication without Violence” and Füsun Paşa offered a course on “Mentorship.” Participants who came to Istanbul for the training program also had the chance to visit the city’s historical and touristic hot spots. Within the scope of the “Dad, Send Me to School” mobilization, students staying at girls’ dormitories participate in a competition every year. The competition is held in the categories of painting, poetry and essay writing. The fifth edition was held on May 2012, around the theme “Life in the Dormitory.” At the award ceremony held in Istanbul, the top-ranking students were invited and given their awards. The newspapers under the roof of Doğan Gazetecilik also played a role in creating public opinion and raising social awareness on the issue. The articles published in our newspapers were influential in finding solutions to structural problems like the

appointment of female directors to dormitories for girls and the revision of the scholarship regulation. As a result of the educational workshops, the problems with regard to education were brought into Turkey’s agenda, solutions were offered for girls to continue their education; the findings of these workshops, where educational problems and relevant solution proposals were discussed at large, were shared with the public and the authorities at the Ministry of National Education. Numerous individuals and institutions eagerly support the “Dad Send Me to School” campaign for school children by donating their pocket money to Limak Holding who constructed a dormitory, the Hacı Ömer Sabancı Foundation and governorships, from the Turkish Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges, the Metro Group granting scholarships to girls and Garanti Bank, the Enka Foundation, Oriflame and Siemens. That the campaign turned out to be a major mobilization and over 300,000 individuals made donations of more than TL 35 million are clear indicators that the campaign profoundly appealed to the Turkish public. It is thought that the campaign’s added value is even more and that the number of girls enrolled in schools is even higher than estimated as families inspired by news articles may have decided to enroll their daughters in school. Another contributing factor is that school administrators who participated in the training programs paid visits to many villages and urged families to send their daughters to school.

In this process, the Vice President for Internal Audit, Audit Committee and Corporate Governance Committee communicated their suggestions and actions related to internal control practices and techniques to the Board of Directors. As in previous years, the internal audit / internal control activities were carried out according to the work plan, the authorized bodies were informed about monthly activities and actions and the planning and management activities of the Group companies’ audit units were coordinated.

In line with these efforts, with the aim of protecting company assets and enhancing internal control efficiency and intra-Group synergy, various activities were carried out throughout the year and the measures taken by the Holding Companies were monitored. In 2013, DYH’s goal is to enhance the efficiency of audit and monitoring activities especially as regards to the Information Systems. In addition, the Company will update its Internal Audit Manuals in line with COSO / COBIT standards and standardize existing processes according to the system of the ultimate controlling shareholder Doğan Şirketler Grubu Holding A.Ş.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Financial risk management is conducted within the framework of DYH’s guidelines by all subsidiaries and affiliates subject to joint management.

RISK MANAGEMENT

At DYH, risk management activities are carried out under the coordination of the parent company Doğan Şirketler Grubu Holding A.Ş. The risk management activities include monitoring and measuring fiscal, operational and compliance risk, as well as financial risk and making recommendations to the Group companies when deemed necessary. Fiscal, compliance and operational risks are monitored by Doğan Holding’s Finance Department; financial risk is monitored by the office of the Vice President - Finance and Portfolio Management. Fiscal, Operational and Compliance Risk Management The identification and establishment of risk that the Group Companies may encounter and risk management activities for controlling and reducing identified possible risk is made in collaboration with the senior management of the Group Companies under the coordination of the Holding’s Finance Department. The management of tax, commercial law and capital markets compliance risks, which are important within fiscal, operational and compliance risks are performed in coordination with the related Vice Presidents in the Holding’s Finance Department and with the participation of the Audit and Risk Management departments, as well as the participation of audit firms and chartered accountants as necessary. This approach employed in auditing and controlling enables the continued monitoring of the Group Companies.

Furthermore, Early Risk Detection and Management Committee was set up at DYH as per the temporary article 378 of the Turkish Commercial Code No. 6102 and DYH’s Corporate Governance Committee was authorized in this scope as per CMB’s Communiqué Series: IV, No: 56. Under the guidance of the Board of Directors, these two committees work to detect risk that could jeopardize the presence, development and continuation of the Company as early as possible, to take the necessary action and to manage risk, as well as to review the risk management systems at least once a year. Financial Risk Management DYH is subjected to a range of financial risk due to its activities, including credit and market risk (foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, price) and liquidity risk. DYH’s approach to financial risk management aims to minimize the adverse effects caused by the variability of the financial markets on the fiscal results. To avoid possible diverse financial risk, the Group uses the following methods: Recording foreign currency positions on a Holding-basis in consideration of the Group companies’ foreign currency liabilities; positioning the Group in line with its liabilities according to the liquidity conditions of the Group Companies; and limiting the volume of derivative liabilities. Financial risk management is conducted within the framework of DYH’s guidelines by all subsidiaries and affiliates subject to joint management.

In 2011, Doğan Şirketler Grubu Holding A.Ş. had initiated the Centralized Treasury System, by which the daily market values of any financial instrument (including options and forward transactions) can be calculated. In 2012, the System was improved and enhanced according to the necessities. This application allows for the monitoring of financial risk and managing assets and liabilities. In this system, foreign currency and interest risk can be calculated according to market yield curves and reported on a daily basis. Credit Risk At DYH, credit risk is defined as the risk of the counterparty’s non-fulfillment of its contractual obligations. This risk involves the Group Companies’ receivables, particularly from advertising. The Group controls its credit risk primarily by credit assessment through its factoring firm and by assigning credit limits to counter-parties, hence creating a central data center. Credit risk is distributed due to the high number of organizations in the client-base and their distribution among diverse business fields.

doğan yayın holding 2012 Annual Report

Receivables Risk Group companies are subject to receivables risk due to commercial receivables arising from forward sales. The Group management diminishes the receivables risks associated with the receivables of customers, by setting individual credit limits for each customer and when deemed necessary, by asking for collaterals or accepting only cash payments from customers considered to be risky. The collection risk of Group companies arises mainly from the commercial receivables. Commercial receivables are assessed by the Company management according to past experience and the current economic situation and an adequate amount of reserve is set aside for doubtful receivables. Interest Rate Risk DYH manages interest rate risk through the limited utilization of measures and derivative instruments generated by offsetting its assets and liabilities sensitive to interest rates. Liquidity Risk DYH manages liquidity risk by keeping on hand a sufficient amount of cash to meet short term payments, through short term deposits and securities that can be rapidly turned into cash; and by funding investments and projects in the medium and long-run through sufficient credit facilities in regard of project turnaround periods and the balance between capital and credit.

Because of the dynamism of its business environment, DYH has aimed to maintain funding flexibility by holding credit channels ready for use. Foreign Currency (Foreign Exchange) Risk The Group bears foreign currency risk related to changes in exchange rates as a result of conversions of foreign currency debt amounts to the functional currency. These risks are monitored and limited through foreign currency positions analysis. Capital Risk Management The Group’s capital management objective is to sustain the Group’s activities with the aim to maintain the most suitable capital structure to generate returns for its partners, benefit for its shareholders and to reduce capital cost. The Group holds the right to issue new shares and sell assets to reduce its debts to maintain or reconstitute its capital structure. Legal Risks There are no lawsuits that could jeopardize the operation or financial structure of Group companies. The follow-up of legal controversies and lawsuits related to the activities of Group companies is conducted by lawyers at the Legal Department of the parent company Doğan Şirketler Grubu Holding A.Ş., in a centralized fashion. As such, lawyers specialized in various

legal disciplines offer their services to all the subsidiaries of the Group. Furthermore, this centralized legal structure also provides consultancy services to Doğan Yayın Holding A.Ş and its subsidiaries whenever needed. It coordinates the purchase of such services from specialist legal consultants from outside the Group. Information Technology Risks The procurement, production, sales and accounting processes across Group companies are managed via applications and modules on an integrated information system (SAP) and the reports concerning these transactions are also produced through this system. DYH keeps a close watch on technological progress and embraces these according to the needs of Group companies. DYH also continuously monitors the adequacy, efficiency, access, reliability and sufficiency of the services delivered through its Information Technologies system. In this regard, every year, Group companies identify the processes and activities they need with regards to IT and accordingly the Group undertakes IT investments to meet these demands.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRINCIPLES COMPLIANCE REPORT

1. Declaration of Compliance with the Corporate Governance Principles In its corporate governance practices, the Company exerts maximum care to comply with the Capital Markets Board’s (CMB) Corporate Governance Principles. The corporate governance practices of the Company are assessed by ISS Corporate Services (ICS), the international rating agency licensed to operate in Turkey for rating activities in line with the methodology approved by CMB. The Company was one of the first companies in Turkey to be assigned a corporate governance rating. In its first assessment in 2006, DYH received a rating score of 8.0 out of 10.0. The Company’s corporate governance rating was revised and upgraded to 8.5 in 2007 and to 9.0 in 2008. In its assessments in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012, ISS Corporate Services (ICS) again assigned a corporate governance rating of 9.0 to DYH. Through the years, ICS has assigned DYH high ratings in the “Public Disclosure and Transparency” subcategory. In 2012, too, the Company was assigned high ratings in the “Public Disclosure and Transparency” subcategory (9.82) and in the “Board of Directors” subcategory (8.58). The Articles of Association was amended to keep abreast of recent changes in corporate governance and to comply with the CMB’s regulations and resolutions and approved as such by the General Assembly. The Corporate Governance Rating and Corporate Governance Compliance Reports are available on the Company’s website (www.dyh.com.tr). The Company was the first media corporation to publish the local corporate governance rating received from an internationally credible rating agency. The Company was also the first listed Turkish company to be rated by the ICS and the first listed non-finance sector company to receive a corporate governance rating. Last but not least, DYH was included in the Borsa Istanbul Corporate Governance Index (XKURY) since the first day the Index was calculated. The Company complied with the Corporate Governance Principles rendered obligatory by CMB’s regulations and resolutions during the fiscal year that ended on December 31, 2012. We believe that under the current circumstances, the items in the Principles that we fail to fully comply with do not give rise to a major conflict of interest.

Our “Shared Values” are the most important shared asset between publisher and employee constitute the foundation of our publishing principles. Our Shared Values also form the basis of the intangible, yet critically important, contract between Doğan Media Group, its readers, viewers and listeners. We promise our readers, viewers and listeners a top-quality publishing activity – one that’s creative and in line with professional and ethical principles one that at times breaks the mold and traditions, but is everrespectful of its audience. 1. Trust Earning society’s trust through our general attitude and our audience’s trust through what we print and broadcast is our most important value. The very foundation of Doğan Media Group today, as well as in the future, is comprised of trust. 2. Independence a) The independent nature of Doğan Media Group, its management and employees, is what forms the basis of the trust we have established in society as well as with our audience. Doğan Media Group employees and management respect their professional position above and beyond any and all relationships based on interest and influence. They may not enter or partake in any activity or organization that could tarnish the Group’s, the Company’s or their own reputation should avoid any and all conflict-of-interest situations that would cast doubt on Doğan Media Group’s independent stance. b) Among the most integral factors of the Group’s independence is the fact that the Doğan Media Group’s activities are built upon economic realities and prudent management principles. We will not engage in activities that do not create economic value. This is because an activity that is not economic in nature is simply dependent on yet another source. c) We separate and identify commercial elements appearing in our publications, such as advertisements, commercial messages and sponsorship matters, in a manner that leaves no doubt as to the commercial nature of such elements. We exercise care to not use commercial brand names of companies and commercial product names, provided that such names do not constitute the main story. We do not publish or broadcast any content whatsoever that is based on any suggestion or advice received from advertising sources. 3. Accuracy and Truthfulness a) The fundamental purpose of our publications is to relay facts to the public at large in an objective manner, without distorting, exaggerating or censuring said facts and without being influenced by any external pressure or special interest groups along the way. b) The element of speed should never overshadow truthfulness, exaggeration and simplification should never stand in the way of the multi-faceted nature of truth. We should openly admit to what we do not know and make an effort to avoid speculation. c) Our goal is to never mislead our audience knowingly or deliberately, while minimizing any misleading behavior that stems from a lack of information and diligence on our part and take corrective action at the earliest possible moment. 4. Impartiality, Pluralism, Fairness a) Our publications should be pluralist in a manner that reflects different aspects of the truth and to be impartial in the face of ideas that represent different sides of the truth and social actors.

While we engage in such reporting, we take pains to not cause deliberate harm to people – especially those groups that need special attention such as children, the disabled and minorities. We avoid offending community values in an unnecessary, excessive and unjustified manner. f) We abstain from defining individuals by their race, nation, social class, religious belief or lack thereof, professional group or physical or mental disabilities, as long as such elements are not an integral part of the story being reported we avoid creating a setting where such individuals could be subjected to mockery, belittlement, indignity or humiliation due to who or what they are. g) We do not engage in “outing” a certain group or individual through various adjectives, assessments or methods render them subjects of discrimination.

DOĞAN YAYIN HOLDİNG A.Ş. CONVENIENCE TRANSLATION OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE AUDITOR’S REPORT FOR THE PERIOD 1 JANUARY – 31 DECEMBER 2012 INTO ENGLISH (ORIGINALLY ISSUED IN TURKISH)



CONVENIENCE TRANSLATION OF INDEPENDENT AUDIT REPORT INTO ENGLISH ORIGINALLY ISSUED IN TURKISH INDEPENDENT AUDIT REPORT

To the Board of Directors of Doğan Yayın Holding A.Ş. 1. We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Doğan Yayın Holding A.Ş. (the “Company”), its subsidiaries and joint ventures (together the “Group”) as at 31 December 2012 and the related consolidated statement of income, the related consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in shareholders’ equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended 31 December 2012, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. Group Managements’ Responsibility for the Financial Statements 2. The Group Management is responsible for preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting standards published by 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 3. 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 the 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 Group management’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 Group 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 4. In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of consolidated financial position of Doğan Yayın Holding A.Ş. (the “Company”), its subsidiaries and joint ventures as at 31 December 2012, and their financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the financial reporting standards issued by the Capital Markets Board. Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to the following: 5. As explained in detail in Note 2.1.6, the Group management has decided to measure their investment properties at fair value and restated the prior year consolidated financial statements accordingly.

Doğan Yayın Holding’s separate financial statements are included in the “Other” business segment for the purpose of business segment reporting in these consolidated financial statements (Note 5). NOTE 2-BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2.1 Basis of Presentation 2.1.1 Financial Reporting Standards The Capital Markets Board of Turkey (“CMB”) sets out principles and procedures on the preparation, presentation and disclosure of financial statements prepared by companies in accordance with the Communiqué No: XI-29, “Principles of Financial Reporting in Capital Markets” (“the Communiqué”). This Communiqué is effective for the annual periods beginning from 1 January 2008 and supersedes the Communiqué No: XI–25 “The Financial Reporting Standards of the Capital Markets”. The Communiqué requires companies to prepare their financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IASs/IFRSs”) adopted by the European Union. However, IASs/IFRSs will be in effect for the period in which the differences derived from the standards accepted by the European Union and the standards issued by International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) would be announced by Turkish Accounting Standards Board (“TASB”). Accordingly, Turkish Accounting/ Financial Reporting Standards (“TAS”/”TFRS”) previously issued by the relevant local regulatory authority, which do not contradict to the standards adopted, shall be applied. Upon the CMB’s resolution made on 17 March 2005, companies operating in Turkey and preparing their financial statements in accordance with the CMB’s Financial Reporting Standards are not required to apply inflation accounting beginning from 1 January 2005. Accordingly, IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies” (“IAS 29”) issued by IASB is not applied in accompanying consolidated financial statements for the accounting periods starting 1 January 2005.

NOTE 2-BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 2.1 Basis of Presentation (Continued) 2.1.1 Financial Reporting Standards (Continued) As of the preparation date of these financial statements, because differences derived from the standards accepted by the European Union and the standards issued by International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) have not been announced yet by the relevant local regulatory authority in Turkey, the consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the CMB’s Financial Reporting Standards based on the CMB’s Communiqué Serial No: XI, No: 29 and its explanatory statements as the differences of IAS/IFRS, adopted by the European Union, from those published by IASB have not yet been announced by TASB. The consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been presented in accordance with the proposed format of the CMB with the required mandatory information. Doğan Yayın Holding and its subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates registered in Turkey maintain their books of account and prepare their statutory financial statements (“Statutory Financial Statements”) in TL in accordance with the Turkish Commercial Code (the “TCC”), tax legislation, and the Uniform Chart of Accounts issued by the Ministry of Finance. Foreign subsidiaries prepare their statutory financial statements in accordance with applicable laws and regulations in force in the countries in which they are registered. These consolidated financial statements are based on the statutory records, which are maintained under historical cost conversion, with the required adjustments and reclassifications reflected for the purpose of fair presentation in accordance with the CMB’s Financial Reporting Standards. 2.1.2 Financial Statements of Subsidiaries, Associates and Joint Ventures Operating in Foreign Countries Financial statements of subsidiaries that are operating in foreign countries are prepared in accordance with applicable laws and regulations in countries in which they are registered and required adjustments and reclassifications reflected for the purpose of fair presentation in accordance with the Group’s accounting policies. If the Group companies’ functional currency is different from its presentation currency, the functional currency is translated into the presentation currency as follows: • • •

assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet, income and expenses for each income statement are translated at average exchange rates; and all resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of equity and statements of comprehensive income (currency translation reserves). Inflation accounting adjustments have been made for the indirect subsidiaries of the Group operating in Belarus in accordance with IAS 29 as of 31 December 2012

When a foreign operation is partially disposed of or sold, exchange differences recorded in equity are recognised in the income statement as part of the gain or loss on sale. Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate.

NOTE 2-BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 2.1 Basis of Presentation (Continued) 2.1.3 Consolidation Principles The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the parent company, Doğan Yayın Holding, its Subsidiaries, and its Associates (collectively referred as the “Group”) on the basis set out in sections (a) to (e) below. The financial statements of the companies included in the consolidation are based on historical cost of the statutory records and for the purpose of fair presentation in accordance with the accounting policies described in Note 2.1.1 and Note 2.1.2 and application of uniform accounting policies and presentations; adjustments and reclassifications. Subsidiaries and joint ventures acquired or disposed of during the accounting period are included in the consolidation from the date at which the control/ common control of operations are transferred to the Group and excluded from the consolidation when the control/common control is lost. Even if non-controlling interests result in a deficit balance, total comprehensive income is attributed to equity holders of the Parent Company and to the noncontrolling interests. Significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are summarized as below: a) Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are companies in which Doğan Yayın Holding has power to control the financial and operating policies for the benefit of Doğan Yayın Holding either (a) through the power to exercise more than 50% of voting rights relating to shares in the companies as a result of shares owned directly and indirectly by itself or (b) although not having the power to exercise more than 50% of the voting rights, through the exercise of actual dominant influence over the financial and operating policies. Subsidiaries are consolidated on a line-by-line basis from the date control passes to the Group and excluded from the scope of consolidation when the Group loses control. Proportion of ownership interest represents the effective shareholding of the Group through the shares held by Doğan Yayın Holding and indirectly by its subsidiaries. In the consolidated financial statements, interests owned by Doğan family members are treated as non-controlling interests and excluded from net asset and profit of the Group. The balance sheets and statements of income of the subsidiaries are consolidated on a line-by-line basis and the carrying value of the investment held by the Holding and its subsidiaries is eliminated against the related equity. Intercompany transactions and balances between Doğan Yayın Holding and its subsidiaries are eliminated on consolidation. Finance costs and the dividends arising from shares held by Doğan Yayın Holding in its subsidiaries are eliminated from equity and income for the period, respectively. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the accounting policies in the financial statements of subsidiaries in order to comply with the Group’s accounting policies. Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the loss of control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group’s interests and non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to owners of the Company. When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the profit or loss on disposal is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling interests.

NOTE 2-BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 2.1.3 Consolidation Principles (Continued) b) Interests in Joint Ventures Joint ventures are companies in respect of which there are contractual arrangements through which an economic activity is undertaken subject to joint control by Doğan Yayın Holding and one or more other parties. Joint ventures, except for those that are classified as held for sale under IFRS 5 are included in consolidation using the proportionate consolidation method (i.e. through the inclusion of the Group’s share of the assets, liabilities, income and expenses).Unrealized gains and losses arising from the transactions with the Group and its joint ventures are eliminated proportionally as the Group’s interest in the joint venture. The joint-ventures, the proportion of voting power held by Doğan Yayın Holding and its subsidiaries and effective ownership interests at 31 December 2012 and 31 December 2011 are disclosed in Note 4. c) Interests in Associates An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but do not have control or joint control over those policies. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Such entities are companies in which Doğan Yayın Holding and its subsidiaries have 20%-50% of the voting rights of the Group’s overall voting power, where the Group has significant influence without any controlling power over the operations. Unrealized gains on transactions between the Group and its joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in its associates; unrealized losses are also eliminated if there is no indication of the assets transferred. Unrealized gains arising from the transactions with the Group and its associates are written off proportionally as the Group’s interest whereas unrealized losses are written off when there is no indication of impairment of the transferred asset. Increases or decreases in the net assets of associates are increased or decreased proportionally as the Group’s share in the consolidated financial statements and presented under the “Share of loss on investments accounted for by using the equity method” account in the statement of income. Where the investment’s share of losses exceeds the Group’s share (including any longterm investments that, in substance, form part of the Group’s net investment in the associate), the exceeding portion of losses are not recognized. Additional losses are recognised only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. Unrealized gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are restated in proportion to the Group’s share in the associate and unrealized losses are also restated when there is no indication of impairment of the transferred asset. Equity method is not applied when the carrying amount of the investment in a joint venture reaches zero to the extent that the Group assumes no liabilities or obligations or in respect of the joint venture or the Group has no significant influence over the related joint venture. The carrying amount of the investment when the Group loses its significant influence over the investment is then carried at fair value. The table below indicates associates accounted for using the equity method and the effective interest rates of Doğan Yayın Holding and its subsidiaries at 31 December 2012 and 31 December 2011:

NOTE 2-BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 2.1.3 Consolidation Principles (Continued) d) Non-controlling interests Non-controlling interests of shareholders over the net assets and operational results of subsidiaries are classified as non-controlling interest and noncontrolling profit/loss in the consolidated balance sheet and statement of income. e) Financial investments Other investments in which the Group and its subsidiaries, have less than 20%, or more than 20% direct or indirect participation but the Group has no significant influence over the related assets, or which are immaterial to consolidated financial statements are classified as available for sale financial assets. Available for sale investments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be measured reliably are carried at cost less any allowance for impairment (Note 7). 2.1.4 Offsetting Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the consolidated balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to set-off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 2.1.5 Comparative information and restatement of prior period financial statements The consolidated financial statements of the Group are prepared comparatively with the previous period to identify the financial position and performance trends. In order to maintain consistency, with current period consolidated financial statements, comparative information is reclassified and significant changes are disclosed if necessary.

NOTE 2-BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 2.1.6 Significant Accounting Policies and Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors and Restatement of Previously Reported Financial Statements Changes in accounting policies arising from the first time adoptation of a new IAS/IFRS are applied retrospectively or prospectively in accordance with the respective IASs/IFRSs transition requirements, if any. Where there are no transition requirements for any changes or optional significant changes in accounting policies and identified accounting errors, those are applied retrospectively and prior period financial statements are restated accordingly. As a result of management’s decision made based on the Group management’s evaluation, the Group management decided to measure their investment properties at fair value which were previously carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment charges , if any under the cost method in the consolidated financial statements. The effect of these changes are reflected in the consolidated financial statements as of 1 January 2010 and consolidated financial statements were restated accordingly in accordance with “IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors” (“IAS 8”). As a result of this amendment, as of 31 December 2011, the investment properties of the Group have increased by TL 16.974 (31 December 2010: TL 17.164); effects of this amendment to the shareholders’ equity and net loss for the period of the Group are TL 12.469 (31 December 2010: TL 11.026) and TL 1.443 (31 December 2010: TL 11.026) respectively.

Also, the Group has started to capitalize subscriber acquisition costs in the current period. Subscriber acquisition costs paid by D-smart are capitalized over the subscription commitment period beginning from 1 January 2012 and capitalized amounts are recognized under intangible assets account. The preparation of consolidated financial statements require the use of estimations and assumptions that may have an effect over the assets and liabilities reported at the balance sheet date, contingent assets and liabilities disclosures and income and expenses reported during the accounting period. The estimates and assumptions are based on the best available information on the current circumstances and operations; however, they may differ from the actual results. If changes in accounting estimates only relate to one period, the change is reflected in the current period in which the change is made, if they relate to future periods, the change is both reflected in the current period in which the change is made and prospectively for future periods. Except for calculation of employment termination benefits by an actuarial firm (Note 2.1.7), capitalization of subscriber acquisition costs and measurement of investment properties at fair value, accounting policies and accounting estimates applied in the current year are consistent with accounting policies and accounting estimates applied in the preparation of consolidated financial statements for the year ended as of 31 December 2011. 2.1.7 New and Revised International Financial Reporting Standards The following new and revised standards and interpretations below are applied by the Group and have affected the reported amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. However, the details of standards and interpretations effective in the current period but have no effect on the financial statements and standards and interpretations not yet effective and have not been early adopted by the Group are set out below.

The above standards will be applicable for 2013 and the following years, and the Group has not had an opportunity to consider the potential impact of the application of these standards over its financial statements but above-mentioned differences are expected not to have any significant impact on the financial statements. (c) New and Revised Standards and Interpretations not yet effective and have been early adopted by the Group IAS 19 Employee Benefits The amendments to IAS 19 change the accounting for defined benefit plans and termination benefits. The most significant change relates to the accounting for changes in defined benefit obligations and plan assets. The amendments require the recognition of changes in defined benefit obligations and in fair value of plan assets when they occur, and hence eliminate the ‘corridor approach’ permitted under the previous version of IAS 19 and accelerate the recognition of past service costs. The amendments require all actuarial gains and losses to be recognized immediately through other comprehensive income in order for the net pension asset or liability recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position to reflect the full value of the plan deficit or surplus. In 2012, the Group has decided to early adopt the amendments to IAS 19 which is applicable as of 1 January 2013. As stated in Note 2.1.6 “Significant Accounting Policies and Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors and Restatement of Previously Reported Financial Statements”, all actuarial gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income statement for the fair presentation of plan deficit or surplus of net retirement asset or liability presented in consolidated balance sheet. Amendments to IAS 19 are required to be applied retrospectively. Accordingly, the Group management has evaluated the effect of changes in accounting policies to financial statements prepared for the period as of 31 December 2011 and decided that restatement of prior financial statements is not needed as calculated effects after tax are below the materiality level.

NOTE 2-BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 2.2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Related parties For the purpose of these consolidated financial statements, related parties are referred to as legal entities in which Doğan Holding directly or indirectly has participation, including any entities under common control; real persons and/or legal entities that have direct or indirect individual or joint control over the company and their close family members (relatives up to second-degree) and legal entities having direct or indirect individual or joint control by them and legal entities having significant effect over the Company or their key management personnel; Company’s affiliates, subsidiaries and members of the Board of Directors, key management personnel and their close family members (relatives up to second-degree) and real persons and/or legal entities that are directly or indirectly controlled individually or jointly (Note 34). Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost in the balance sheet. Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand, bank deposits and highly liquid investments without a significant risk over the change in their value, whose maturity at the time of purchase is three months or less (Note 6). Trade receivables and provision for doubtful receivables The Group’s trade receivables from providing goods or services to customers are carried at net of unrealized finance income. Trade receivables, net of unrealized finance income, are calculated by discounting future cash inflows of receivables carried at the original invoice amount using the effective interest method. Short term receivables with indefinite interest rate are carried at cost unless the effect of imputing interest is significant. Provision is allocated for receivables when the Group has an objective indication over the collectability. The amount of the provision is the difference between the carrying amount and the recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the present value of all cash flows, including amounts recoverable from guarantees and collaterals discounted based on using the original effective interest rate of the trade receivable occurred. If there is a partial or whole collection over the doubtful receivable amount subsequent to the allocation of provision for doubtful receivables, the collected portion is recognised as income following the write-down of the total provision amount (Note 28). Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or estimated selling price less estimated costs necessary to make a sale. Cost elements included in inventory are purchase costs and other costs necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use. Cost elements included in inventories are materials, labor and production overheads. The unit cost of inventories is determined on the moving weighted average basis (Note 12). When the net realizable value of inventory is less than cost, the inventory is written down to the net realizable value and the expense is included in the statement of income in the period the write-down or loss occurred. When the circumstances that previously caused inventories to be written down below cost no longer exist or when there is clear evidence of an increase in net realizable value because of the changing economic circumstances, the amount of the write-down is reversed. The reversal amount is limited to the amount of the initial impairment.

NOTE 2-BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 2.2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Inventories (Continued) Promotion stocks Evaluation of impairment on promotion stocks and in detection of an impairment; evaluation of the impairment amount is carried out by the Group management. In this manner, an inventory impairment amount is set with the rates determined by the Group management by taking the purchase date into consideration. Programme stocks Programme stocks comprise internal and external productions that have been produced but not yet broadcasted as of the report date. Programme stocks are recognised at acquisition or production cost and they are not subject to amortization. These programmes are charged to the income statement upon the first transmission and included in cost of sales in the consolidated statement of income (Note 25). If the estimated income from programme stocks is lower than the carrying value, carrying value is discounted to net realizable value. Financial instruments In accordance with IAS 39, the Group classifies its financial instruments as assets held at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity, availablefor-sale and loans and receivables. Classification is determined based on the acquisition purpose and specifications of the financial asset at the initial recognition. All financial assets are recognised at cost including transaction costs in the initial measurement. “Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss” are financial assets that have been acquired principally for the purpose of taking advantage of fluctuations in price and other similar elements or independent from initial recognition financial assets held for trading which are part of a portfolio that has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking. A financial asset is classified in this category if it is primarily acquired for the purpose of selling in the short-term. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are initially carried at cost including transaction costs at the balance sheet. Subsequent to recognition, the financial assets are carried at fair value. Realized or unrealized gains and losses are recognized in “financial income/ expenses”. Dividends received, are recognized as dividend income in the consolidated statement of income. Financial assets considered as derivative instruments that are not designated for the purpose of hedging instruments are classified as financial assets at fair value thorough profit or loss. “Held-to-maturity investments” are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that the Group intends and is able to hold to maturity and that do not meet the definition of loans and receivables and are not designated on initial recognition as assets at fair value through profit or loss or as available for sale. Held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method less impairment, if any. The Group has no held to maturity investments as of 31 December 2012.

NOTE 2-BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 2.2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) The Group’s “available for sale financial assets” comprise of quoted equity instruments and certain debt securities that are traded in an active market and they are measured at fair value. Unrealized gains or losses on an available-for-sale financial asset shall be recognised in equity, through the investments revaluation reserves and comprehensive income, except for impairment losses and foreign exchange gains and losses, until the financial asset is derecognised, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in equity shall be recognised in profit or loss. Dividends on available-forsale equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when the Group’s right to receive payment is established. Financial assets classified by Doğan Yayın Holding as “available- for- sale financial assets” that do not have any control power or significant effect have no fair value. When fair value cannot be reliably measured as other fair value estimation methods are not applicable; the carrying value of the financial asset is measured at cost less any impairment loss (Note 7). “Loans and Receivables” are financial assets that have fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity dates and non-derivative financial assets that are not quoted in an active market. Derivative financial instruments Derivative forward instruments, predominantly foreign currency and interest swap agreements and foreign currency forward agreements are initially recognised at their historical costs plus the transaction costs. Derivative financial instruments are subsequently remeasured at their fair value. All derivative financial instruments are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Fair values of derivative financial instruments are obtained from quoted market prices or discounted cash flow models as appropriate. Based on positive or negative fair value, derivative financial instruments are carried as assets or liabilities respectively (Note 14). Changes in the fair value of derivatives at fair value through profit or loss are included in the statement of income. While certain derivatives provide effective hedge relationships, they are recognised as financial assets through profit or loss in accordance with IAS 39 and their fair value gains and losses are reported in the statement of income. Investment property Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation. Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at fair value which reflects the market conditions. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair values of investment properties are included in the profit or loss in the period in which they arise. As of 31 December 2012, the Group decided to adopt fair value method for their investment properties which were previously accounted under the cost method and restated its financial statements according to IAS 8 as explained in Note 2.1.6 “Significant Accounting Policies and Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors and Restatement of Previously Reported Financial Statements”

NOTE 2-BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 2.2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Investment property (Continued) An investment property is derecognized upon disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the property is included in profit or loss in the period in which the property is derecognized. Transfers are made to or from investment property only when there is a change in use. For a transfer from investment property to owner occupied property, the deemed cost for subsequent accounting is the fair value at the date of change in use. If owner occupied property becomes an investment property, the Group accounts for such property in accordance with the policy stated under property, plant and equipment up to the date of change in use. The difference between cost value and fair value at the date of the change is recognized as revaluation fund in other comprehensive income. Property, plant and equipment and related depreciation Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses (Note 16). Depreciation is provided on property, plant and equipment on a straight-line basis (except land). The depreciation periods for property, plant and equipment, which approximate the economic useful lives of such assets, are as follows: Years Land and land improvements Buildings Machinery and equipment Motor vehicles Furniture and fixtures Leasehold improvements

15-50 25-50 3-15 5-10 3-15 2-25

Useful life and depreciation are reviewed regularly and the Group also reviews the consistency of the useful life and depreciation method applied with the economic benefits to be obtained from the underlying assets. Gains or losses on disposals of property, plant and equipment are determined with respect to the difference between collections received and carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment and are included in the related income and expense accounts, as appropriate. Where the carrying amount of an asset is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, it is written down immediately to its recoverable amount provided to allocate provision. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. Fair value less costs to sell is the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset less the costs of disposal. Value in use is the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from an asset plus the residual value of the related assets. Repair and maintenance expenses are charged to the consolidated statement of income as they are incurred. Capital expenditures that increase the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from property, plant and equipment by increasing its capacity is added to the cost of tangible fixed asset.

NOTE 2-BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 2.2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Financial Leases Leases are classified as finance leases by the Group whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. Assets held under finance leases are recognised as assets of the Group at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are treated as consisting of capital and interest. Principal lease payments are treated as liabilities and reduced with their payments. Interest charges are charged directly against income statement over the financial lease period. Assets acquired through finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of expected useful life and the lease term, as well as tangible assets acquired. An operating lease is a lease that does not substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset. For operating leases, lease payments (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are recognized as an expense on a straight line basis over the lease term under the consolidated income statement. Goodwill Goodwill and negative goodwill amount, which represents the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of the acquiree’s net assets, arising from business combinations effected prior to 30 June 2004 in the consolidated financial statements is capitalized and amortized over the useful life by using the straight-line method prior to 31 December 2004. Goodwill arising from business combinations effected subsequent to 31 March 2004 is not amortized and instead reviewed for any impairment losses in accordance with IFRS 3 Business Combinations (Note 18). For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount of the unit, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period.

NOTE 2-BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 2.2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Intangible assets and related amortization Intangible assets excluding goodwill and assets with infinite useful lives comprise brand names, customer lists, terrestrial broadcasting permissions and licenses (frequency rights), other identified rights, computer software and television programme rights which are further discussed in Note 2.2. Brand names, customer relationships and domain names are determined based on the independent valuation on business combinations. Useful lives of certain brand names are determined to be infinite. Assets that have infinite useful life are not subject to amortization and are tested for impairment annually (Note 17). Registered subscriber acquisition costs paid by D-smart are capitalized over the subscription commitment period by the Group beginning from 1 January 2012 and capitalized amounts are recognized under intangible assets account. Weighted average term for subscription acquisition costs is 2 years. Intangible assets are carried at cost, less any accumulated amortization and amortized by using the straight-line method (Note 17). Estimated useful lives of intangible assets that have a finite useful life are as follows: Years Trademark Customer lists Computer software and rights Domain names Other intangible rights

20-25 9 – 18 3 – 15 3 – 20 5

Intangible assets with finite useful lives are tested to determine whether there is an indication that the intangible assets may be impaired and if the carrying value of the intangible asset is higher than the recoverable amount, the carrying value of the intangible asset is written down to its recoverable amount provided to allocate provision. The recoverable amount of an intangible asset is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. Provision for impairment is recognized under the statement of income in the related period. Web page development costs Costs associated with developing web pages are capitalized and amortized by using straight-line method over their estimated useful lives (Note 17). Following the planning phase and operation; all costs are recognised as expense. Maintenance costs of web pages are accounted as operational expenses.

NOTE 2-BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 2.2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Television program rights Television program rights (foreign series, foreign films and Turkish films) are initially recognised at acquisition cost of the license when the Group controls, in substance, the respective assets and the risks and rewards attached to them. Television program rights are evaluated to determine if expected revenues are sufficient to cover the unconsumed portion of the program. To the extent that expected revenues are insufficient, the program rights are written down to their net realizable value. Consumption is based on the transmission of the expected number of runs (vary from two to unlimited) purchased. Amortization of these rights is determined according to release order and number of runs. The appropriateness of the consumption profiles are reviewed regularly by the management. A maximum of 5 runs is applied for the unlimited run purchases. Impairment of assets excluding goodwill and intangible assets with infinite useful lives At each balance sheet date, the Group evaluates whether there are any indications that an asset other than goodwill or infinite life intangible assets may be impaired. When an indication of impairment exists, carrying value of the assets is compared with the net realizable value which is the higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). Impairment exists if the carrying value of an asset or a cash generating unit including that asset is greater than its recoverable amount which is the higher of value in use or fair value less costs to sell. Impairment losses are recognised in the consolidated statement of income. Taxation on income Taxation on income includes current period income taxes and deferred taxes. Current year tax liability consists of tax liability on period income calculated according to currently enacted tax rates and tax legislation in force as of balance sheet date and includes adjustments related to previous year’s tax liabilities. Turkish tax legislation does not permit a parent company and its subsidiary to file a consolidated tax return. Therefore, tax provisions, as reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, have been calculated on a separate-entity basis. Deferred income tax is provided, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying values for financial reporting purposes. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, where deferred tax assets resulting from deductible temporary differences are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilized (Note 32). Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. Deferred tax 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 related to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority.

NOTE 2-BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 2.2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Financial borrowings and borrowing costs Borrowings are recognised initially at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Any difference between proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the redemption value is recognised in the income statement as finance expense over the period of the borrowings (Note 8). The borrowing costs which are directly related with the acquisition, manufacturing or production of a specialty good (means that a long period of time is required to make available for sale and use as purposed) are capitalized as a part of the related asset. The Group does not have any capitalized borrowing costs during the current period. Financial liabilities subject to non-controlling put options Under the terms of certain share purchase agreements, the Group may commit to acquire the interests owned by non-controlling shareholders in subsidiaries, upon the request of non-controlling interest holders. IAS 32, “Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation” requires the value of such put option to be presented as a financial liability on the balance sheet for the discounted value of the expected exercise price of this option, notwithstanding the ability of the Company to settle part of these obligations with its own shares and not cash. In addition, the share of non-controlling shareholders in the net asset of the company subject to the put option is presented in “other financial liabilities” instead of “non-controlling interests” in the consolidated balance sheet. The Group presents, at initial recognition, the difference between the exercise price of the option and the carrying value of the non-controlling interests first as a reduction of non-controlling interest and then as addition to the Group’s equity. The discount amount and any subsequent change in the fair value of the commitment are recognised in the income statement as finance income or expense in subsequent periods. Employment termination benefits Under the Turkish Labour Law and Press Labour Law (for employees in the media sector), the Group is required to pay termination benefits to each employee who achieves the retirement age, whose employment is terminated without due cause written in the related laws. The provision for employment termination benefit represents the present value of the estimated total reserves of the future probable liability of the Group arising from the retirement of the employees measured in accordance with the Turkish Labour and Press Labour Laws (Note 22). The Group has decided to early adopt the amendment in IAS 19 (Note 2.1.7) in 2012 which will be effective starting from 1 January 2013, and calculated employment benefit in accordance with the report prepared by the actuarial firm and recognized all actuarial loss and gains in the other comprehensive income statement.

NOTE 2-BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 2.2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Provisions, contingent assets and liabilities Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation or a result of past events, it is probable that on outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. Contingent liabilities are assessed continually to determine whether an outflow of resources comprising economic benefits has become probable. If it becomes probable that an outflow of future economic benefits will be required for an item previously dealt with as a contingent liability, a provision is recognised in the financial statements of the period in which the change in probability occurs except in the extremely rare circumstances where no reliable estimate can be made. If it has become virtually certain that an inflow of economic benefits will arise, the asset and the related income are recognised by the Group in the financial statements of the period in which the change occurs. Possible assets or obligations that arise from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group are not included in financial tables and are treated as contingent assets or liabilities. A contingent asset is disclosed where an inflow of economic benefit is probable. When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, the receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably. Share capital and dividends Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Dividend income is recognised as income by the Group when right to obtain of dividend is generated in the consolidated financial statements. Dividend distribution to the Company’s shareholders is recognised as a liability in the Group’s consolidated financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the General Assembly.

Revenue is initially recognized at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable when it can be measured reliably or when there is an inflow of economic benefits. When the arrangement effectively constitutes a financing transaction, the fair value of the consideration is determined by discounting all future receipts using an imputed rate of interest. The imputed rate of interest is a rate of interest that discounts the nominal amount of the instrument to the current cash sales price of the goods or services (Note 25). Revenues from television, newspapers, magazines and other advertisements Revenue from advertisements is recognised on an accrual and cut-off basis at the time of broadcasting or printing the advertisement in the related media at the invoiced amounts. The part which is not broadcasted or published yet is recognised as deferred income on the balance sheet. Revenues from newspaper and magazine sales and distribution Revenue from newspaper and magazine sales is recognised on an accrual basis at the time of delivery of the newspapers by the distribution company to the dealer at the invoiced values. Newspaper sales returns and provisions: Provision for newspaper sales returns is accounted at the time of delivery based on past experiences and recent information of sales returns. Returns on magazine sales and provisions: Provision for returns on magazine sales are the provisions provided to reflect the sales income based on matching principle by using statistical data for the previous period, field sales data, etc. when return invoices are not issued although returns are taken off from the market or the issue of magazine period is not expired. Revenues from printing services Revenues from printing arise from printing services given to both Group companies and third parties by using Group’s printing facilities. Related income is recognised on an accrual basis at the time of services given. Other revenues Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis and income accrual is ascertained by taking effective interest rate and remaining maturity into account. Rent income and other income are recognised on an accrual basis.

NOTE 2-BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 2.2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Barter agreements The Group provides advertising services in return for advertisement and other products and services. When goods or services are exchanged or swapped for goods or services which are of a similar nature and value, the exchange is not regarded as a revenue generating transaction. When goods are sold or services are rendered in exchange for dissimilar goods or services, the exchange is regarded as a revenue generating transaction. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the goods or services received, adjusted by the amount of any cash or cash equivalents transferred. If the fair value of the goods or services received is not measured reliably, the revenue is measured at the fair value of the goods or services supplied, adjusted by the amount of any cash or cash equivalents transferred (Note 21). Barter agreements are recognised on an accrual basis. Business combinations Business combinations are accounted in accordance with IFRS 3. Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary/associate at the date of acquisition. If the purchase amount is less than the fair value of provisions, contingent assets and liabilities, the subjected difference is identified with comprehensive income statement. Goodwill recognised in a business combination is not amortized, instead it is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. If the acquisition cost is lower than the fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired, the difference is accounted for as income in the related period (Note 3). There are no business combinations that have significant effect over the financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2012 except for Eko TV combination explained in Note 3. Gains or losses resulted from sale or purchase of subsidiaries under the control of Doğan Yayın Holding (transactions that do not result in a change in control) are recognised under equity. IAS 27 (Revised) requires ownership decreases or increases which do not result in a change in control to be recorded under equity for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009. For accounting periods beginning prior to 1 July 2009, the difference resulted in favor of acquisition value in connection with sale or purchase of subsidiaries under the control of the Group which do not result in a change in control was recognised as goodwill. Foreign currency transactions Functional currency Items included in the financial statements of each Group entity are measured using the currency that best reflects the economic substance of the underlying events and circumstances relevant to that entity. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Turkish Lira, which is the functional currency of Doğan Yayın Holding. Foreign currency transactions and balances Income and expenses arising in foreign currencies have been translated into TL at the exchange rates prevailing at the transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies have been translated into TL at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet dates. Exchange gains or losses arising from the settlement and translation of foreign currency items have been included in the consolidated statement of income.

Segment reporting A business segment is a distinguishable component of an enterprise that is engaged in providing products or services and that is subject to risks and returns that are different from those of other business segments and consists of three main segments; “Publishing”, “Broadcasting” and “Other” based on management reporting. A geographical segment is a distinguishable component of an enterprise that is engaged in providing products or services within a particular economic environment and that is subject to risks and returns that are different from those of components operating in other economic environments and consists of three main divisions; “Turkey”, “Europe”, “Russia and EE”. Earning/(loss) per share Earning/ (loss) per share are determined by dividing net income/ (loss) by the weighted average number of shares that have been outstanding during the period concerned (Note 33). In Turkey, companies can increase their issued capital by making a pro-rata distribution of shares (“bonus shares”) to existing shareholders from retained earnings. For the purpose of earnings per share computations, such bonus share issuances are regarded as issued shares for all of the periods presented in the financial statements. Accordingly, weighted average number of shares used in earnings per share computations is derived by considering the retrospective effects of the issuances of the shares.

NOTE 2-BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 2.2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Discontinued operations Discontinued operations are components of an entity that either have been disposed of or represent a major part of an entity separately from the Group’s operations and cash flows. Operating results as of the Group has ceased its control over its disposal groups are presented separately under “discontinued operations” in the consolidated income statement. Prior period consolidated income statement is adjusted for comparative purposes and the results of discontinued operations are also classified under the “discontinued operations” account (Note 31). The Group has no discontinued operations for the period ended as of 31 December 2012. The results of discontinued operations also include profit/ (loss) from the related operation’s sale proceed and related tax expenses. Profit/ (loss) from the sale proceed is calculated as the difference between the carrying amount of net assets disposed of and sale price. Non-current assets held for sale Assets held for sale are operations that the Group disposes of or classified as available for sale and cash flows which can be treated as a part separately from the Group. Assets classified as held for sale by the Group and discontinued operations, are measured at the lower of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities related to discontinued operations and fair value less costs to sell (Note 31). Government grants Government grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received. Government grants are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group recognises as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. The Group has received the investment incentive certificate regarding the modernization of its property that is used in its media operations and it is exempt from the Customs Duty and VAT. Subsequent events In the case that events requiring a correction to be made occur subsequent to the balance sheet date, the Group makes the necessary corrections to the financial statements. In the case that events not requiring a correction to be made occur subsequent to the balance sheet date, those events are disclosed in the notes of consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2-BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 2.2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Statement of cash flows In the statement of cash flows, cash flows during the period are classified under operating, investing or financing activities. The cash flows raised from operating activities indicate cash flows due to the Group’s media and other sales operations. The cash flows due to investing activities indicate the Group cash flows that are used for and obtained from investments (investments in property, plant and equipment and financial investments). The cash flows due to financing activities indicate the cash obtained from financial arrangements and used in their repayment. Cash and cash equivalents include cash and bank deposits and the investments that are readily convertible into cash and highly liquid with three months or less to maturity. 2.3 Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions 2.3.1 Critical accounting estimates and assumptions a) Estimated impairment of goodwill In accordance with the accounting policy mentioned in Note 2.2.11, goodwill is annually tested for impairment by the Group. Recoverable amount of cash generating units is measured based on the value in use calculations. Hürriyet, one of the subsidiaries of the Group, has performed goodwill impairment analysis in the context explained below for the periods ended 31 December 2012 and 2011. The recoverable amount of cash generating units is determined by calculating the amount that would be obtained through sales. These calculations are measured based on estimated cash flows after tax using financial budgets covering a five-year period. EBITDA estimates (budgeted interest, tax, depreciation and amortization, provision for impairment and gross margin before other non-operating expenses) have a significant role in these calculations. The EBITDA margin and discount rates used for the cash flows after five-year period are listed below:

NOTE 2-BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 2.3 Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions (Continued) 2.3.1 Critical accounting estimates and assumptions (Continued) a) Estimated impairment of goodwill (Continued) Hürriyet, one of the subsidiaries of the Group, has booked a provision for impairment on goodwill amounting to TL 18.106 (31 December 2011: TL 103.858) (Note 18). No impairment has been booked for intangible assets (31 December 2011: TL 9.157) (Note 17). If the discount rate applied to cash flow projections for the cash-generating units after tax is 1% more than the estimates of the Group management, additional impairment amounting to TL 51.648 (31 December 2011: TL 62.634 for the goodwill related with TME and intangible assets) would be recognized in the financial statements and profit before tax and non-controlling interests would decrease by TL 51.648 (31 December 2011: TL 62,634) in return. b) Vat amount subject to discount within the scope of law no: 6111 As of November 2011, the Group management has considered the VAT principle amounting to TL 454.281 imposed as a consequence of share exchanges and transfers recognized in the statutory accounts of Doğan TV Holding, D Yapım, Doğan Prodüksiyon ve Alp Görsel and restructured within the scope of Law no: 6111 in the year 2011 as input VAT through issuance of “recourse VAT invoice” by each entity who transfers the shares to the respective entity, sequentially with the amount of corresponding VAT imposed. In this context, input VAT amounting to TL 145.328, TL 222.662 and TL 86.291 have been recognized in the statutory records of D Yapım, Doğan Prodüksiyon and Alp Görsel, respectively. Based on the nature of the transaction and considering the precautionary principle, the Group management elects not to recognize the input VAT amounting to TL 454.281 as an asset in the consolidated financial statements as it will be used in future tax periods. Accordingly, where practible, input VAT that can be offset against the recourse VAT in the related taxation periods can be recognized in the statement of income in the respective periods (Note 28).

As per the amendment agreement dated 31 October 2011, the Axel Springer Group has also requested two guarantee letters amounting to EUR 50.000 each in order to guarantee the liabilities of Doğan Holding under the “DTV Put Option I”. Two guarantee letters amounting to EUR 50.000 were given by Doğan Holding as at 10 February 2012. In addition, a third guarantee letter amounting to EUR 50.000 in consideration of 34.183.593 shares were given in the same period to be used as of January 2015. EUR 375.000, which is defined above as the initial sale price, can be amended based on the circumstances explained below. As per the agreement, the initial sale price may be subject to revision as the following depending on the “initial public offering” of Axel shares. In the event that Axel shares are offered to public by 30 June 2017 and if quarterly share value of “Axel Shares” in average subsequent to public offering is less than the amount of which will be calculated by adding interest over the original selling price (as measured by using an annual combined 12 months Euro Libor as of 2 January 2007), both the difference resulting from the quarterly share value of “Axel Shares” in average subsequent to public offering and the original selling price and the amount calculated by adding interest over the difference would be paid by Doğan Yayın Holding to the Axel Springer Group. In the event that Axel shares are offered to public by 30 June 2017 and if quarterly share value of “Axel Shares” in average subsequent to public offering is higher than the original selling price, both the difference resulting from the quarterly share value of “Axel Shares” in average subsequent to public offering and the amount of which will be calculated by adding interest over the original selling price (as measured by using an annual combined 12 months Euro Libor as of 2 January 2007) to the original selling price would be equally shared between the Axel Springer Group and Doğan Yayın Holding. In the event that Axel shares are not offered to public by 30 June 2017 and if the fair value of Doğan TV Holding, which will be calculated by using certain valuation techniques as at 31 December 2015, is less than the amount of which will be calculated by adding interest over the original selling price (as measured by using an annual combined 12 months Euro Libor as of 2 January 2007) to the original selling price, both the fair value of Doğan TV Holding, which will be calculated by using certain valuation techniques as at 31 December 2015, and the difference of the original selling price and the amount calculated by adding interest over the difference would be paid by Doğan Yayın Holding to the Axel Springer Group.

In accordance with the agreement signed on 19 November 2009, Doğan Yayın Holding shall make a TL cash capital increase in Doğan TV Holding that corresponds to EUR 385.000, and as a result of the capital increase, Doğan TV Holding shares owned by Commerz-Film GmbH shall be diluted to 19,9% from 25%.

As a result of the capital increase, the shares of Doğan Yayın Holding and Commerz-Film GmbH at Doğan TV Holding were 79,71% and 19,9% respectively. To measure fair value in order to see whether the Group would assume any financial liability in relation to the above transaction, cash flow projections in relation to periods covering 2013-2017 are prepared for Doğan TV Holding and the fair value of Doğan TV Holding has been calculated by discounting the above mentioned cash flow statements.

The effect of liability arising from Law no: 6111 in regards to Doğan TV Holding over the share value is compensated in proportion to the share capital to Commerz-Film GmbH. In this content, the payment made to Commerz-Film GmbH amounts to TL 165.523. The related payment has been made on 17 August 2011. Accordingly, Commerz-Film GmbH has participated in the capital increase of Doğan TV Holding from TL 456.554 to TL 1.288.328 through the usage of nominal values in the new share acquisition rights in the share of participation at nominal value. The capital increase has been registered on August 17, 2011. The share interest of Commerz-Film GmbH in Doğan TV Holding (19,9%) have remained still after the capital increase. Accordingly, the Group has indemnified TL 165.523 of liability arising from Doğan TV Holding A.Ş. and its subsidiaries’ undue and on trial tax liabilities in dispute under Law No: 6111 which represents the portion corresponding to Axel Springer Group’s current ownership percentage (19,9%). The related liability portion is not recognized under the non-controlling interests account in the accompanying financial statements prepared as of 31 December 2011. d) Useful lives of intangible assets Useful lives of some trademarks are expected to be infinite by the Group management. Where useful lives of related intangible assets are infinite (in case of 20 years), amortization of such intangible assets’ would increase by TL 13.468 (31 December 2011: TL 14.119) and profit before tax and non-controlling interests would decrease by TL 13.468 (31 December 2011: TL 14.119). Amortization is recognized by the Group considering the useful lives of trademarks, customer lists and internet domain names with definite useful lives disclosed in Note 2.2. If useful lives of trademarks, customer lists and internet domain names differ 10% from the management’s expectations, the effect over the financial statements would be as follows: -

if useful lives were 10% higher, amortization would decrease by TL 1.224 and profit before tax and non-controlling interests would increase by TL 1.224 (31 December 2011: TL 1.816); or

-

if useful lives were 10% lower, amortization would increase by TL 1.496 and profit before tax and non-controlling interests would decrease by TL 1.496 (31 December 2011: TL 2.219).

31 December 2012

31 December 2011

81.978

42.541

Except from the legal requirements other than Turkey in which the Group operates, there are no pension plans and benefits. Under the Turkish Labour Law, the Group is required to pay termination benefits to each employee who has completed one year of service and whose employment is terminated without due cause, or who is called up for military service, dies or retires after completing 25 years of service (20 years for women) and achieves the retirement age (58 for women and 60 for men). At 31 December 2012 the amount payable maximum equals to one month of salary is TL 3.033,98 (exact) (31 December 2011: TL 2.731,85 (exact)) for each year of service. On the other hand, the Group is liable to make payments to personnel who work for a minimum of 5 years and whose employment is terminated without due cause in accordance with the Regulations with regards to Employees Employed in the Press Sector. The maximum payable amount is 30 days’ flat salary for each year of service. Employment termination benefit liabilities are not subject to any funding and there are no legal requirements for funding of these liabilities. Provision for employment termination benefits is calculated by estimating the present value of the future probable obligation arising from the retirement of the employees of Doğan Yayın Holding and its subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates registered in Turkey. CMB’s Financial Reporting Standards require developments on the actuarial valuation methods to estimate the Group’s employee termination benefit liability under defined benefit plans. Accordingly, the following actuarial assumptions were used in accordance with the report prepared by the actuarial firm in the calculation of the total provision. -

discount rate is applied as 7,69% (31 December 2011: 10,01%), inflation rate applied as 4,98% (31 December 2011: 5,10%) and rate of increase in real wages applied as 4,98% in the calculation.

- the calculation is made based on the maximum salary rate of TL 3.033,98 effective as of 31 December 2012 (31 December 2011: TL 2.731,85). -

age of retirement is based on the minimum retirement age.

-

CSO 1980 mortality table is used for male and female mortality rates.

NOTE 24 – EQUITY (Continued) Adjustment to share capital represents the difference between cash and cash equivalent contributions to the total amounts adjusted for inflation added to issued share capital issued and amounts before inflation adjustment. Restricted reserves Restricted reserves are reserved from the prior period profit due to legal or contractual obligations or for certain purposes other than the profit distribution (for example, to obtain the tax advantage of gain on sale of associates). The legal reserves consist of first and second reserves, appropriated in accordance with the Turkish Commercial Code (TCC). The first legal reserve is appropriated out of statutory profits at the rate of 5% per annum, until the total reserve reaches 20% of the Company’s issued capital. The second legal reserve is appropriated at the rate of 10% per annum of all cash distributions in excess of 5% of the issued capital. Under the TCC, the legal reserves can only be used to offset losses and are not available for any other usage unless they exceed 50% of issued capital. The afore-mentioned amounts shall be classified in “Restricted Reserves” in accordance with the CMB’s Financial Reporting Standards. The details of restricted reserves at 31 December 2012 and 31 December 2011 are as follows: Restricted reserves Gain on sale of subsidiary’s shares Legal reserves Total

Investment Property Revaluation Reserves Real estates recognized as property, plant and equipment in prior periods, can be transferred to investment property due to changes in use. The Group has reclassified some of its properties in 2012 as investment property and has chosen to account such investment properties at fair value. Accordingly, fair value increase at the initial transfer amounting to TL 1.334 is recognized as revaluation reserve under shareholders equity. Capital Reserves and Retained Earnings Subsequent to the first inflation adjusted financial statements, equity items such as; “Capital, Emission Premiums, Legal Reserves, Statutory Reserves, Special Reserves and Extraordinary Reserves” are carried at carrying value in the balance sheet and their adjusted values are collectively presented in equity. All equity inflation adjustments are only available for bonus shares or loss deduction; and carrying value of extraordinary reserves are only available for cash profit distribution or loss deduction. In accordance with the Communiqué No:XI-29 and related announcements of the CMB, effective from 1 January 2008, “Share capital”, “Restricted Reserves” and “Share Premiums” shall be carried at their statutory amounts. The valuation differences resulted due to the application of the requirements set out in the communiqué (such as, inflation adjustment differences) shall be disclosed as follows: • •

if the difference is due to the inflation adjustment of “Paid-in Capital” and not yet been transferred to capital, it should be classified under “Inflation Adjustment To Share Capital”; if the difference is due to the inflation adjustment of “Restricted Reserves” and “Share Premium” and the amount has not been utilized in dividend distribution or capital increase yet, it shall be classified under “Retained Earnings”. Other equity items are carried at the amounts valued in accordance with CMB’s Financial Reporting Standards. Capital adjustment differences can only be included to capital.

NOTE 24-EQUITY (Continued) Dividend Distribution Listed companies of whose shares traded on the ISE, are required to distribute their dividends in accordance with the following criteria set out by the CMB: Upon the CMB’s Resolution No: 02/51 issued on 27 January 2010, there is no minimum level of dividend distribution requirement for the listed companies at the stock exchange for profits arising from operations in 2009. In this respect, companies will distribute their profits under the scope of the requirements of the CMB’s Communiqué No. IV-27, their own articles of association and their own publicly disclosed profit distribution policies. Also, based on the CMB’s resolution no: 7/242 issued on 25 February 2005, if all of the profit distribution amount determined in accordance with the regulation set out on the CMB’s minimum profit distribution requirement over the net distributable profit calculated based on the CMB regulations can be recovered from the distributable profit amount in the statutory records, the related amount will be fully distributed, or otherwise all the net distributable profit in the statutory records will be distributed accordingly. No dividend distribution will be made if financial statements or statutory records prepared in accordance with the CMB standards reflect any loss amount for the period. At the board meeting of the Board of Directors of Doğan Yayın Holding at 4 June 2012, it is concluded that; -

Under the requirements of the CMB’s Communiqué Serial:XI, No.29, based on the audited consolidated financial statements prepared for the period 01.01.2011-31.12.2011 in accordance with International Accounting Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards, the Group’s “Net Loss for the Period” is calculated as TL 1.195.716, considering its “current period tax expense”, “deferred tax expense”, “non-controlling interests” and “net income after tax from discontinued operations”. Therefore, the Group has decided not to distribute any profits for the period 01.01.2011-31.12.2011 based on the CMB’s profit distribution requirements. As TL 230.373 of net loss for the period is calculated in relation to the financial records filed under the Turkish Commercial Code (TCC) and Tax Procedure Law for the period 01.01.2011-31.12.2011, no statutory reserves would be allocated under TCC.

The CMB’s requires the disclosure of total amount of net profit in the statutory records and other resources which may be subject to distribution in the financial statements prepared in accordance with Communiqué Serial XI, No: 29. As of the balance sheet date, the Company’s gross amount of resources that may be subject to the profit distribution based on the statutory records amounts to TL 117.739.

NOTE 32-CURRENT AND DEFERRED TAXES Turkish tax legislation does not permit a parent company and its subsidiaries to file a consolidated tax return. Therefore, provisions for taxes, as reflected in these consolidated financial statements, have been calculated on a separate-entity basis for the all subsidiaries consolidated on line-by-line basis. Corporate tax Corporate tax liabilities for the periods ended 31 December 2012 and 31 December 2011 are as follows:

Corporate and income taxes payable (1) Prepaid taxes Taxes payable

As of 31 December 2011, TL 18.180 of corporate and income taxes payable is related with the discontinued operations.

Turkey The Corporate Tax Law has been amended as of 13 June 2006 by Law No: 5520. The majority of the clauses of Law No: 5520 are effective as of 1 January 2006. Corporate tax rate for the fiscal year 2012 is 20% (2011: 20%) for Turkey. Corporate tax is payable at a rate of 20% on the total income of the Group after adjusting for certain disallowable expenses, corporate income tax exemptions (investment allowance, etc.) and corporate income tax deductions (such as research and development expenditures deduction). No further tax is payable unless there is dividend distribution. Dividends paid to non-resident companies having representative offices in Turkey and resident companies are not subject to withholding tax. Dividends paid to companies except for those companies are subject to 15% of withholding tax. An increase in capital via issuing bonus shares is not considered as a profit distribution and thus does not incur withholding tax. Companies calculate corporate tax quarterly at the rate of 20% over their corporate income and these amounts are disclosed by the end of 14th day and paid by the end of the 17th day of the second month following each calendar quarter-end. Advance taxes paid in the period are offset against the following period’s corporate tax liability. If there is an outstanding advance tax balance as a result of offsetting, the related amount may either be refunded in cash or used to offset against for other payables to the government. Tax Law No: 5024 “Amendments in Tax Procedural Law, Income Tax Law and Corporate Tax Law” published in the Official Gazette on 30 December 2003 requires income tax and corporate taxpayers whose earnings are determined based on the balance sheet to prepare their statutory financial statements by adjusting the non-monetary assets and liabilities for the changes in the general purchasing power of the Turkish Lira effective from 1 January 2004. In accordance with the provisions of the afore-mentioned Law provisions, in order to apply inflation adjustment, the cumulative inflation rate (TURKSTAT WPI) over the last 36 months and 12 months must exceed 100% and 10%, respectively. Inflation adjustment has not been applied as the related threshold has not been met as of 2004. In Turkey, there is no procedure for a final and definitive agreement on tax assessments. Companies file their tax returns by the 25th of the fourth month following the close of the financial year to which they relate.

Under the Turkish tax legislation, tax losses can be carried forward to offset against future taxable income for up to five years.

As of 31 December 2012, the Company has offset its financial losses attributable to the calculation of offsetting of tax asset against deductible financial losses or current tax provision in accordance with the above-mentioned principles. There are numerous exemptions in the Corporate Tax Law concerning the corporations. The exemptions that are related to the Group are as follows: Exemption for participation in subsidiaries Dividend income from participation in shares of capital of another fully fledged taxpayer corporation (except for dividends from investment funds participation certificates and investment partnerships shares) are exempt from corporate tax. Issued premiums exemption Gains from issued premiums derived from the disposal of sales at nominal values during incorporations and the capital increase of joint stock companies are exempt from corporate tax. Exemption for participation into foreign subsidiaries For companies participating in 10% or more of the capital of a non-resident limited liability or joint stock company,(except for those whose principal activity is financial leasing or investment property) for at least one year until the date of the income is generated and transferred to Turkey until the date of the filing of the corporate income tax return of the fiscal year in which the income is generated is exempt from corporation tax subject to those subsidiaries being subject to corporate income tax, or alike, in their country of legal residence or business centre at the rate of at least 15% (minimum corporate income tax applicable in Turkey for those whose principal activity is finance assurance or insurance).

Restriction on the deductible financial losses has been revoked as of 2007. Maximum amount that can be deducted in any year is limited to 30% of the taxable income (2011: 30%). Rights related to tax losses that have not been utilized in the related years are expired. Tax can be refunded in practice; however, refund is generally available following the outcome of legal procedures.

Based on bilateral tax agreements, withholding tax rate can be decreased. The tax legislation of the Russian Federation is subject to various interpretations and changes frequently. The interpretation of tax legislation by tax authorities regarding the business of TME may differ from the management’s interpretation.

NOTE 35-FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES 35.1 Financial risk management The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks; these risks are credit risk, market risk including the effects of changes in debt and equity market prices, foreign currency exchange rates, fair value interest rate risk and cash flow interest rate risk, and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. The Group use derivative financial instruments in a limited manner to hedge these exposures. Financial risk management is carried out by individual subsidiaries and joint ventures under the policies, which are approved of their Board of Directors within the limits of general principles set out by Doğan Yayın Holding. 35.1.1 Credit risk Credit risk involves the risk that counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of their agreements. These risks are monitored by credit ratings and by limiting the aggregate risk to any individual counterparty. The credit risk is generally highly diversified due to the large number of entities comprising the customer bases and their dispersion across many different industries.

NOTE 35-FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (Continued) 35.1.2 Interest rate risk The Group is exposed to interest rate risk through the impact of rate changes on interest bearing liabilities and assets. These exposures are managed using natural hedges that arise from offsetting interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities and by limited use of derivative instruments. Borrowings issued at floating rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rate expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. As of 31 December 2012 and 31 December 2011, the Group’s borrowings at floating rates are predominantly denominated in US Dollars and Euros. At 31 December 2012, if interest rates on US dollar denominated borrowings had been higher/lower by 100 basis points with all other variables held constant, loss before income taxes would have been TL 10.427 (31 December 2011: TL 9.896) higher/lower, mainly as a result of high interest expense on floating rate borrowings. At 31 December 2012, if interest rates on Euro denominated borrowings had been higher/lower 100 basis points with all other variables held constant, loss before income taxes would have been TL 1.050 (31 December 2011: TL 854) higher/lower, mainly as a result of high interest expense on floating rate borrowings.

NOTE 35-FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (Continued) 35.2 Capital risk management In managing capital, the Group aims to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may issue new shares or sell assets to reduce its liabilities. The Group monitors capital on the basis of the net liability/total equity ratio. Net liability is calculated as the total liability less cash and cash equivalents, provisions and tax liabilities. Total equity is calculated as the total of net liability and the equity as shown in the consolidated balance sheet. The net liability/total equity ratio at 31 December 2012 and 31 December 2011 is summarized below: 31 December 2012

NOTE 36-FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (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. Estimated fair value of financial instruments is determined by Doğan Yayın Holding, its subsidiaries and joint ventures, 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 Group could realize in a current market exchange. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of the financial instruments: Financial assets The fair value of the foreign currency denominated amounts, which are translated by using the exchange rates prevailing at year-end, is considered to approximate their fair value. The fair value of certain financial assets carried at cost including cash and due from banks, deposits with banks and other financial asset is considered to approximate their respective carrying value due to their short-term nature. The fair value of investment securities has been estimated based on the market prices at balance sheet dates. The trade receivables are carried at amortized cost using the effective yield method less provision for doubtful receivables, and hence are considered to approximate their fair values. Financial liabilities The fair value of funds borrowed and other monetary liabilities are considered to approximate their respective carrying value. Long-term borrowings, which are principally at variable rates and denominated in foreign currencies, are translated at year-end exchange rates and accordingly their carrying amount approximate their fair value. Trade payables are stated at amortized cost using the effective interest method, and accordingly their carrying amounts approximate their fair value.
