EXPLANATIONS ON INVESTMENT PROPERTIES Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation, including property under construction for such purposes. Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are carried at cost less amortisation less any impairment losses. The Bank’s investment properties are valued by external, independent valuation companies on a periodic basis for disclosure and impairment assessment purposes. The fair values are based on market values, being the estimated amount for which a property could be exchanged on the date of the valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction. In the absence of available current prices in an active market, the valuations are based on estimated cash flows expected to be received. Investment property held consists of land and building with a useful life of 50 years and accounted with straight-line depreciation. Gains or losses in the case of disposal of an investment property; is the difference between the net selling price of the asset sold and the carrying amount of the property and is recognized as profit or loss on sale of investment property in the period of disposal. XIV. EXPLANATIONS ON LEASING TRANSACTIONS Assets acquired under finance lease agreements are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the “lower of the fair value of the leased asset or the present value of the amount of cash consideration given for the leased asset”. Leased assets are included in the property and equipment and depreciation is charged on a straight-line basis over the useful life of these assets. If there is any diminution in value of the leased asset, a “Provision for value decrease” is recognised. Liabilities arising from the leasing transactions are included in “Financial Lease Payables” on the balance sheet. Interest and foreign exchange expenses regarding lease transactions are charged to the income statement. The Bank can engage in financial lease transactions as the lessor. The Bank records the gross amount of minimum lease receivables comprising of principal and interest amounts as “financial lease receivables” under lease receivables account. The difference between the aggregate of lease receivables and the cost of the related leased assets, corresponding to interest, is recorded under “unearned income” item. The interest income is recognised in the income statement on an accrual basis. The Bank adopted TFRS 16 Leases and started to present most leases on-balance sheet except its short term leases and its low value assets. XV. EXPLANATIONS ON PROVISIONS AND CONTINGENT COMMITMENTS Provisions and contingent liabilities except for the financial instruments within the scope of the TFRS 9 or the provisions recognised in accordance with other standards such as TAS 12 and TAS 19 are accounted in accordance with the “Turkish Accounting Standard for Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets” (TAS 37). Provisions are recognised when the Bank has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an 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. The provision for contingent liabilities arising from past events should be recognised in the same period of occurrence in accordance with the “Matching principle”. When the amount of the obligation cannot be estimated and there is no possibility of an outflow of resources from the Bank, it is considered that a “Contingent” liability exists and it is disclosed in the related notes to the financial statements.
