NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br />

AS AT AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2008<br />

(Amounts expressed in Euro unless otherwise stated)<br />

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.
