4. DETERMINATION OF FAIR VALUES<br />
A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and nonfinancial<br />
assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the<br />
following methods. When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the<br />
notes specific to that asset or liability.<br />
i) Property and equipment<br />
The fair value of property and equipment recognised as a result of a business combination is based on market values. The market<br />
value of property is the estimated amount for which a property could be exchanged on the date of valuation between a willing<br />
buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably,<br />
prudently and without compulsion. The market value of items of equipment, fixtures and fittings is based on the quoted market<br />
prices for similar items.<br />
ii) Intangible assets<br />
The fair value of intangible assets is based on the discounted cash flows expected to be derived from the use and eventual sale of<br />
the assets.<br />
The fair values of customer relationship and DHMİ licence were computed according to the cost approach method.<br />
The airport operation right as an intangible asset is initially recognised at cost, being the fair value of consideration transferred<br />
to acquire the asset, which is the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the construction services delivered. The<br />
fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the construction services delivered includes a mark-up on the actual costs<br />
incurred to reflect a margin consistent with other similar construction work. Mark-up rates for <strong>TAV</strong> İzmir, <strong>TAV</strong> Esenboğa, <strong>TAV</strong> Tbilisi<br />
and <strong>TAV</strong> Tunisie are 0%, 0%, 15% and 5%, respectively.<br />
iii) Investments in equity securities<br />
The fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and available-for-sale financial assets is determined by reference<br />
to their quoted closing bid price at the reporting date.<br />
iv) Trade and other receivables<br />
The fair value of trade and other receivables. is estimated as the present value of future cash flows discounted at the market rate of<br />
interest at the reporting date.<br />
v) Derivatives<br />
The fair value of forward exchange contracts is based on their listed market price, if available. If a listed market price is not available,<br />
then fair value is estimated by discounting the difference between the contractual forward price and the current forward price for<br />
the residual maturity of the contract using a risk-free interest rate (based on government bonds) or option pricing models.<br />
The fair value of interest rate swaps is based on broker quotes. Those quotes are tested for reasonableness by discounting<br />
estimated future cash flows based on the terms and maturity of each contract and using market interest rates for a similar<br />
instrument at the measurement date.
