Dear Shareholders,

The problems that arose due to increased risks in the US housing market, com-bined with the losses on banks’ balance sheets and the sharp sales tendency inglobal asset markets led to a rising uncertainty in the world economy. In the lastquarter of 2007, economic growth in the USA underwent a visible deceleration,thus leading to declined production and weakened employment and consumption.This situation affected all of the countries integrated with the global economy, asTurkey, which had achieved an annual average growth of 6.8% in the 2002-2007period, was able to complete 2008 with a mere growth rate of 1.1%.

Despite these unfavorable conditions, P›nar Su capitalizes on the advantage of itsability to recognize the future of the water sector back in 1984 when the compa-ny’s vision targeting improvement and innovations was set, as well as its success-ful strategies, and continues to be the source of life for the consumers in nationaland international markets where it has a presence.

Water means life; it means energy and food... Despite the vital importance of water,the United Nations’ World Water Development Report does not reflect encouragingdata. In 2030, 67% of the world population, in other words 5 billion people will nothave access to healthy water. Each one of us must take this report as a warning.We have to be aware that the world will be faced with an extremely serious watercrisis unless we change our established water consumption behavior.

We know that water is not an ordinary commercial article but a heritage that needs to beprotected. Water scarcity is a factor that rises as a threat against economic growth, humanrights, health, safety and national security. Acting on this awareness, PINAR, the first brandto introduce Turkey’s first bottled natural spring water, currently presents the natural min-eral water obtained from Madran, Çaml›ca and Toros springs to the liking of the consumersin Turkey and its export destinations under the brand name P›nar Yaflam P›nar›m.

With our slogan “There is life in it!” , we invite our consumers to take urgent actionagainst global warming and to protect life. We believe that it is our duty to raisepublic awareness on this topic and to guide people towards the correct use ofwater resources. We constantly share our sensitivity about the matter with our con-sumers and help develop awareness among them through leaflets focusing on“What can we do against global warming?”. We reach our consumers with ourmagazine Su P›nar›m (My Source of Water) developed specifically for 5th of JuneWorld Environment Day, and share our responsibilities for achieving enhanced envi-ronmental awareness. We organize tree planting festivals every year with selectedschools, in an effort to instill the love of nature among students and help developenvironmental sensitivity and awareness at an early age via the saplings they plant.

The term “Natural Mineral Water” refers to water that is naturally formed under suit-able geological conditions deep in the earth’s crust, the mineral content of which isdetermined by a large number of natural factors and which is protected against anyrisk of contamination. The water must have inherent privileges such as resistanceagainst seasonal changes in its mineral structure, and must not be physically orchemically intervened with at the filling phase.

Bottled at Turkey’s most modern water facilities with its natural composition at thespring fully uncompromised and its mineral balance preserved employing “cleanroom” technology, P›nar Yaflam P›nar›m has been registered as “natural mineralwater” by the Ministry of Health. The remark “natural mineral water” on P›nar YaflamP›nar›m packaging means that the water presented to the consumers is healthy,has a balanced mineral structure, and most importantly, it has been bottled toreflect the exact same qualities at its spring, and has not been subjected to anytreatment that would breach its structure.

P›nar Su employs state-of-the-art technologies at its facilities and constantly fol-lows-up the developments in technology drawing on its infrastructure. Carrying outautomated filling in the filling room whose air is constantly cleaned and into whichair inflow is prevented, P›nar Su subjects the water to sensory, physical, chemicaland microbiological tests at every phase of production from the spring up to its bot-tling, making use of the laboratory facilities at its disposal. As P›nar Su San. ve Tic.A.fi., we implement ISO 9000 Quality Management System, ISO 22000 FoodSafety Management System and ISO 14000 Environmental Management Systemsat our facilities and at each one of our departments, and work to continuallyimprove them.

According to the results of research conducted in relation to the sector, bottledwater sector reached a turnover of nearly TL 3 billion in 2008 on a volume of 8.6billion liters. 19 liter demijohn sales account for nearly 80% of the consumption inthe sector, which is followed by the PET bottle segment with 20% share.

In 2008, P›nar Su realized a 9% market share in PET packaging in the retail chan-nel. Evidencing P›nar Su’s successful performance and sensitivity towards technol-ogy-related matters, the company made investments in capacity increase, renewaland machinery with a total worth of TL 7.8 million.

In 2008, P›nar Su made exports to Germany, UK, Denmark, Ireland, Belgium, USA,Malta, Kosovo, Cyprus, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, UAE, Kuwait, Yemen, Australia,Singapore and Switzerland amounting to USD 3.1 billion.

The potential of the water sector in Turkey indicates that the growth trend will con-tinue. In the process, P›nar Su is committed to successfully maintain its targets toincrease its exports, to tap new and lucrative markets, and to grow in the marketswhere it already has a presence. In maintaining our activities, we will remain strict-ly loyal to our vision of producing good quality and safe packaged water needed byour society and presenting them to our consumers under healthy and hygienic con-ditions, and of developing our sector and stakeholders.

Sincerely,

Feyhan YaflarChairperson

Company History and Highlights10

The pioneer of the bottled water sector, P›nar Su produced Turkey’s first bottlednatural spring water in one-way packaging in 1984. 1996 marked the com-

mencement of the establishment of P›nar Madran facility, Turkey’s most modernwater establishment. Established on a covered area of 14,000 sqm in a total areaof 64,000 sqm in the Bozdo¤an district of Ayd›n, P›nar Madran facility reached atotal covered area of 17,000 sqm with the additional investments made in 2005.

In order to respond to the increasing demand, P›nar purchased two new naturalwater springs in 2003. Bottled at these two new springs, P›nar Yaflam P›nar›m andP›nar Denge brands were presented to the liking of the consumers.

Started at P›nar Su in 2002 in the Aegean and Mediterranean Regions with P›narMadran, sales in demijohns have extended its reach first in the Marmara Region,and then across the country, with the investments in new facilities.

A good spring is one that is distant from settlement areas and that maintains a fixedflow and stable chemical properties despite precipitation or drought during a givenyear. Healthy natural spring water means the water with mineral content that doesnot exceed the limit values stipulated by the applicable regulation, is free from path-ogenic microorganisms, and possesses suitable physical and chemical properties.All springs owned by P›nar Su represent some of Turkey’s highest quality naturalwater springs, located far from settlement areas, and holding chemical properties

remaining unvarying throughout the year.

Management’s responsibility for the financial statements2. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with the financial reporting stan-dards issued by the Turkish Capital Market Board. This responsibility includes: designing, implementing and maintaining internal control rele-vant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; select-ing and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

Auditor’s responsibility3. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with gen-erally accepted auditing standards issued by the Turkish Capital Market Board. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirementsand 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 proceduresselected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether dueto fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentationof the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing anopinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used andthe reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

d) Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards that are not yet effective in 2008 and have not been early adopted by the Company.The following standards, amendments and interpretations to published standards are mandatory for accounting periods beginning on or after 1January 2009 but they are not early adopted by the Company:

• IAS 23 (Amendment), “Borrowing costs” (effective for the accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009). The amendment requiresan entity to capitalise borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset (one that takes asubstantial period of time to get ready for use or sale) as part of the cost of that asset. The option of immediately expensing the borrowing costswill be removed. It is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. In addition, the definition of borrowingcosts has been amended so that interest expense is calculated using the effective interest method defined in IAS 39 ‘Financial instruments:Recognition and measurement’. The Company will apply the IAS 23 (Amendment) prospectively to the capitalisation of borrowing costs onqualifying assets starting from 1 January 2009.

• IFRS 3 (Revised), “Business Combinations” (effective from 1 July 2009). The revised standard continues to apply the acquisition method to busi-ness combinations, with some significant changes. For example, all payments to purchase a business are to be recorded at fair value at the acqui-sition date, with contingent payments classified as debt subsequently re-measured through the income statement. There is a choice on an acqui-sition-by-acquisition basis to measure the non-controlling interest in the acquire either at fair vale or at the non-controlling interest’s propor-tionate share of the acquire’s net assets. All acquisition-related costs should be expensed. The Company will apply IFRS 3 (Revised) prospec-tively to all business combinations effective from 1 January 2010.

• IAS 28 (Amendment), “Investments in associates” (and consequential amendments to IAS 32, “Financial Instruments: Presentation” and IFRS 7,“Financial instruments: Disclosures”) (effective from 1 January 2009). An investment in associate is treated as a single asset for the purposes ofimpairment testing and reversals of impairment are recorded as an adjustment to the investment balance to the extent that the recoverableamount of the associate increases. The Company will apply the IAS 28 (Amendment) to impairment tests related to investments in subsidiariesand any related impairment losses effective from 1 January 2009. Where an investment in associate is accounted for in accordance with IAS 39‘Financial instruments: recognition and measurement’, only certain rather than all disclosure requirements in IAS 28 need to be made in addi-tion to disclosures required by IAS 32, ‘Financial Instruments: Presentation’ and IFRS 7 ‘Financial Instruments: Disclosures’. The amendmentwill not have an impact on the Company’s operations because it is the Company’s policy for an investment in an associate to be equity account-ed in the Company’s accounts.

• IAS 36 (Amendment), “Impairment of assets” (effective from 1 January 2009). Where fair value less costs to sell is calculated on the basis of dis-counted cash flows, disclosures equivalent to those for value-in-use calculation should be made. The Company will apply the IAS 36(Amendment) and provide the required disclosure where applicable for impairment tests effective from 1 January 2009.

The Company will apply the IAS 1 (Amendment) from 1 January 2009.It is likely that both the income statement and statement of comprehensive income will be presented as performance statements.

• IAS 27 (Revised), “Consolidated and separate financial statements”, (effective from 1 January 2009). The revised standard requires the effects ofall transactions with non-controlling interests to be recorded in equity if there is no change in control and these transactions will no longer resultin goodwill or gains and losses the standard also specifies the accounting when control is lost. Any remaining interest in the entity where thecontrol is lost is re-measured at fair value, and a gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. The standard will not have any impact on theCompany’s financial statements, as there is no consolidated subsidiary.

• IFRS 1 (Amendment) “First time adoption of IFRS”, and IAS 27 “Consolidated and separate financial statements” (effective from 1 January 2009).The amended Standard allows first-time adopters to use a deemed cost of either fair value or the carrying amount under previous accountingpractice to measure the initial cost of investments in subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities and associates in the separate financial statements.

• IAS 16 (Amendment), “Property, plant and equipment” (and consequential amendment to IAS 7, “Statement of cash flows”).

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

2.3 Basis of consolidation

The Company does not have any subsidiary to be consolidated in the financial statements. The investments in associates are accounted for usingthe equity method. These are undertakings over which the Company has between 20% and 50% of the voting rights, or over which the Companyhas significant influence. The unrealised gains on transactions between the Company and its associated undertakings are eliminated to the extentof the Company's interest in the associated undertakings; unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of animpairment of the asset transferred.

Equity accounting is discontinued when the carrying amount of the investment in an associated undertaking reaches zero, unless the Companyhas incurred obligations or guaranteed obligations in respect of the associates or significant influence of the company ceases. The carrying amountof the investment at the date when significant influence ceases is regarded as cost thereafter.

The table below sets out the associates and the proportion of ownership interest as of 31 December 2008 and 2007 (Note 16):

2.4 Comparatives and Restatement of Prior Year Financial Statements

The Company prepared its financial statements on a comparative basis with the preceding financial period, which enables determination of trendsin financial position and performance. The Company prepared its balance sheet as at 31 December 2008 on a comparative basis with balance sheetas at 31 December 2007; and statements of income, cash flows and statements of changes in equity for the period of 1 January - 31 December2008 on a comparative basis with financial statements for the period of 1 January - 31 December 2007.

According to International Accounting Standard 19, Employee Benefits (“IAS 19”), the management bonus paid to the management of theCompany, should be recognised as a provision within the period in which such liability arises. Based on the General Assembly dated 16 May 2007,it was decided to pay management bonus relating to the profit of 2006 to the senior management. In this respect, as the bonus accrual was notrecognised in the financial statements at 31 December 2006, the accrual was reported as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earn-ings as of 1 January 2007, without restating prior year financial statements on the grounds of materiality (see “the Statements of Changes inEquity”).

2.5 Offsetting

All items with significant amounts and nature, even with similar characteristics, are presented separately in the financial statements. Insignificantamounts are grouped and presented by means of items having similar substance and function. When the nature of transactions and events neces-sitate offsetting, presentation of these transactions and events over their net amounts or recognition of the assets after deducting the related impair-ment are not considered as a violation of the rule of non-offsetting. As a result of the transactions in the normal course of business, revenue otherthan sales are presented as net if the nature of the transaction or the event qualify for offsetting.

2.6 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the financial statements are summarised below:

2.6.1 Revenue recognition

Revenues are recognised on an accrual basis at the time deliveries are made, services are given and significant risks and rewards are transferred tothe buyer, the amount of revenue can be measured reliably and it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flowto the Company at the fair value of considerations received or receivable. Net sales represent the invoiced value of goods shipped less sales returns,sales discounts and commissions given (Note 28). Interest income is recognised on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest method.The amount of the provision for trade receivables is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated futurecash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. Interest income on loans is recognised using the effective interest rate. Dividend incomeis recognised when the Company’s right to receive the payment is established.

2.6.2 Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of busi-ness, less the costs of completion and selling expenses. Cost elements included in inventories comprise all costs of purchase of material and othercosts incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. The cost of inventories is determined on the monthly weightedaverage basis (Note 13).

2.6.3 Property, plant and equipment

The Company’s land, land improvements, buildings, machinery and equipment are stated at their fair values based on the valuations performedby external independent valuers, namely Elit Gayrimenkul De¤erleme A.fi. and Vak›f Gayrimenkul Ekspertiz ve De¤erleme A.fi. as of 31 December2008. All other items of property, plant and equipment acquired before 1 January 2005 are carried at cost in the equivalent purchasing power ofTL as at 31 December 2004 and items acquired after 1 January 2005 are carried at cost, less the subsequent depreciation and impairment loss, ifany (Note 18).

Increases in the carrying amount arising on the revaluation of property, plant and equipment are credited to the revaluation reserve in equity.Decreases that offset previous increases of the same asset are charged against that reserve; all other decreases are charged to the statement ofincome.

Each year, the difference between depreciation based on the revalued carrying amount of the asset (the depreciation charged to the statements ofincome) and the depreciation based on the asset’s original cost stated in terms of purchasing power of TL at the prior years is transferred fromretained earnings to the revaluation reserves.

Property, plant and equipment are capitalised and depreciated when they are fully commissioned and in a physical state to meet their designedproduction capacity. Residual values of property, plant and equipment are deemed as negligible. The advances given for the property, plant andequipment purchases are classified under the other non-current assets until the related asset is capitalised (Note 26).

Depreciation is provided on the restated or revalued amounts of property, plant and equipment on a straight-line basis (Note 8). Land is not depre-ciated as it is deemed to have an indefinite life. The depreciation rates for property, plant and equipment, which are based on the approximateuseful lives of such assets, are as follows:

Rate (%)

Buildings and land improvements 2-4Machinery and equipment 5-10Motor vehicles 20Furniture and fixtures 10

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Where the carrying amount of an asset is greater than its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the car-rying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount (Notes 2.6.5 and 18). If the property plant and equipments that are impaired, are reval-ued, the impairment is charged to the revaluation reserves for an amount equivalent to the increases included in the revaluation reserve in the pre-ceding periods and the remaining amount is recognised in the statement of income.

Gains or losses on disposals of property, plant and equipment are determined by reference to their carrying amounts and are included in the relat-ed income and expense accounts, as appropriate (Note 31). On the disposal of revalued assets, amounts in the revaluation reserve relating to thatasset are transferred to the retained earnings.

Repairs and maintanance expenses are charged to the statements of income during the financial period in which they are incurred. Expensesincurred after capitalization are included in the cost of the asset or recorded as an asset in case when it is probable that the future economic ben-efits will flow to the Company and the cost can be reliably measured. The Company derocognises the carrying amounts of the replaced parts relat-ed to renovations regardless of whether the replaced parts were depreciated separately. Expenses incurred after capitalisition which are includedin the cost of the related assets are depreciated based on their useful lives.

2.6.4 Intangible assets

Intangible assets comprise acquired rights, information systems and software. Intangible assets acquired before 1 January 2005 are carried at costin the equivalent purchasing power of TL as at 31 December 2004 and items acquired after 1 January 2005 are carried at cost, less accumulatedamortisation and impairment losses if any. They are recorded at acquisition cost and amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated usefullives for a period five years from the date of acquisition. Residual values of intangible assets are deemed as negligible. An impairment loss is recog-nised for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of fair value less cost to sellor value in use (Notes 2.6.5 and 19).

2.6.5 Impairment of assets

At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is any indication that an asset other than deferred tax asset (Note 35) and property,plant and equipment stated at revalued amounts (Note 18) may be impared. Goodwill accounted for as part of investment-in-associate is testedannually for impairment. If there is an indication of impairment with regards to goodwill, the recoverable amount is estimated. The recoverableamount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the car-rying amount of the asset or any cash-generating unit of that asset exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are accounted for in thestatement of income.

Impairment losses can be reversed to the extent of previously recorded impairment losses, in cases where increases in the recoverable amount ofthe asset can be associated with events that occur subsequent to the period when the impairment loss was recorded (Note 31).

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

2.6.6 Borrowings and borrowings costs

Borrowings are recognised initially at the proceeds received, net of any transaction costs incurred. In subsequent periods, borrowings are meas-ured at amortised cost using the effective yield method. Any difference between proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value isrecognised in the statement of income over the period of the borrowings. Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred (Note 33). If the borrowingsmature within 12 months, then they are classified in current liabilities, otherwise they are classified in non-current liabilities (Note 8).

2.6.7 Financial assets

The classification of financial assets depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classifica-tion of its financial assets at initial recognition and re-evaluates this designation at every reporting date. The Company classifies its financial instru-ments in the following categories:

a) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables constitute non-derivative financial instruments, which are not quoted in active markets and have fixed or scheduled pay-ments. Loans and receivables arise, without held-for-sale intention, from the Company’s supply of goods, service or direct fund to any debtor. If the maturity of these instruments are less than12 months, these loans and receivables are classified in current assets and if more than 12 months, classified in non-current assets. The loans andreceivables are included in “Trade receivables and “Other receivables” in the balance sheet. Loans are recognised initially at the proceeds received,net of any transaction costs incurred. In subsequent periods, loans are stated at amortised cost using the effective yield method.

b) Available for sale financial assets

Investments intended to be held for an indefinite period of time, which may be sold in response to needs for liquidity or changes in interest rates,are classified as available for sale. These are included in non-current assets unless management has expressed the intention of holding the invest-ment for less than 12 months from the balance sheet date or unless they will need to be sold to raise operating capital, in which case they areincluded in current assets. Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments at the time of the acquisition and re-evaluatessuch designation on a regular basis.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

All financial investments are initially recognised at cost, being the fair value of the consideration given and including acquisition charges asso-ciated with the investments, and subsequently carried at fair value. The financial assets which the Company has shares less than 20% and areclassified as available for sale investments are carried at market value when there is quoted market price, they are carried at fair value by usingvaluation techniques when there is no active market for the financial asset. When there is no quoted market price and when a reasonable esti-mate of fair value could not be determined since other methods are inappropriate and unworkable, available for sale investments acquired before1 January 2005 are carried at cost expressed in purchasing power of TL as at 31 December 2004 and available for sale investments acquiredafter 1 January 2005 are carried at cost, less impairment losses, if any (Note 7). Unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in fair valueof securities classified as available for sale are recognised in the equity, rather than statement of income until the related financial asset is dere-cognised. Change in fair value of available for sale investments is calculated as the difference between the discounted acquisition cost and thecurrent fair value. Dividends on available for sale equity instruments are recognised in the income statement as part of other income when theCompany’s right to receive payments is established.

When securities classified as available for sale are sold, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognised in equity are included in the state-ment of income. A significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the investment below its cost is considered as an indicator that the invest-ments are impaired. If any such evidence exists for available for sale financial assets, the cumulative loss-measured as the difference between theacquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognized in profit or loss-is removedfrom equity and recognized in the statement of income. Impairment losses recognised in the statement of income on investments are notreversed through the statement of income.

2.6.8 Foreign currency transactions and balances

Transactions in foreign currencies during the year have been translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Monetaryassets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies have been translated into TL at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet dates.The exchange differences that were recorded are recognised in the statement of income.

2.6.9 Earning per share

Earnings per share disclosed in the statement of income are determined by dividing net income for the year by the weighted average number ofshares that have been outstanding during the year concerned (Note 36).

Companies can increase their share capital by making a pro-rata distribution of shares ("bonus shares") to existing shareholders from retained earn-ings. For the purpose of earnings per share computations, the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year has been adjustedin respect of bonus shares issued without a corresponding change in resources, by giving them retroactive effect for the year in which they wereissued and for each earlier year.

In case of dividend distribution, earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the number of shares, rather than dividing by weight-ed average number of shares outstanding.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

2.6.10 Subsequent events

Subsequent events, announcements related to net profit or even declared after other selective financial information has been publicly announced,include all events that take place between the balance sheet date and the date when balance sheet was authorised for issue (Note 40).

In the case that events require a correction to be made occur subsequent to the balance sheet date, the Company makes the necessary correctionsto the financial statements. Moreover, the events that occur subsequent to the balance sheet date and that do not require a correction to be madeare disclosed in accompanying notes, where the decisions of the users of financial statements are affected.

2.6.11 Provisions, contingent assets and contingent liabilities

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is more likely than not thatan outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount can be reliably estimated.

In cases where the time value of money is material, provisions are determined as the present value of expenses required to be made to settle theliability. The rate used to discount provisions to their present values is determined considering the interest rate in the related markets and the riskassociated with the liability. The discount rate must be pre-tax and does not consider risks associated with future cash flow estimates. In caseswhere the time value of money is material and the provisions approach to their expected realisation date, the increase in the provision due to pas-sage of time is recognised as interest expense.

Possible assets or obligations that arise from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of oneor more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company are treated as contingent assets or liabilities. The Company doesnot recognise contingent assets and liabilities (Note 22). Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

2.6.12 Accounting policies, errors and changes in accounting estimates

Material changes in accounting policies and accounting errors are applied on a retrospective basis as if a prior period error had never occurred orthe policy had always been applied. The effect of change in accounting estimate shall be recognised prospectively by including it in the statementof income within the period of the change, if the change affects that period only; or period of the change and future periods, if the change affectsboth.

2.6.13 Related parties

For the purpose of these financial statements, shareholders, Yaflar Group companies, key management personnel and Board members, in each casetogether with their families and companies controlled, jointly controlled or significantly influenced by them are considered and referred to as relat-ed parties (Note 37).

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

2.6.14 Segment reporting

Segment reporting is not applicable as the Company is only engaged in the production of bottled water; and sales and distribution of theCompany’s products in the domestic market are performed by its associate, Birmafl (Note 37) and operations other than in Turkey are not mate-rial enough to be reported separately (Note 5).

2.6.15 Taxation on income

Taxation on income includes current period tax liability and deferred income taxes. Current period tax liability includes the taxes payable calcu-lated on the taxable portion of the period income with tax rates enacted on the balance sheet date (Note 35). The adjustments related to prior peri-od tax liabilities are recognised in other operating expenses. Deferred tax is recognised in the statement of income, except to the extent that itrelates to items recognised directly in equity. In case, when the tax is related to items recognised directly in equity, the tax is also recognised inequity.

Deferred income tax is provided, using the liability method, for all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities andtheir carrying values for financial reporting purposes with the enacted tax rates as of the balance sheet date (Note 35).

Deferred income tax assets or liabilities are reflected to the financial statements to the extent that they will provide an increase or decrease in thetaxes payable for the future periods where the temporary differences will be reversed. Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxabletemporary differences, where deferred income tax assets resulting from deductible temporary differences are recognised to the extent that it isprobable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilised. To the extent that deferredincome tax assets will not be utilised, the related amounts have been deducted accordingly (Note 35).

2.6.16 Provision for employment termination benefits

In accordance with the Turkish Labor Law, the Company is required to make lump-sum termination indemnities to each employee whose employ-ment is terminated due to retirement or for reasons other than resignation or misconduct and who has completed at least one year of service.Provision is made for the present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated using the projected unit credit method. All actuarial gains andlosses are recognised in the statement of income (Note 24).

2.6.17 Statement of cash flows

In the statement of cash flows, cash flows are classified into three categories as operating, investment and financing activities. Cash flows fromoperating activities are those resulting from the Company’s production and sales activities. Cash flows from investment activities indicate cashinflows and outflows resulting from property, plant and equipments and financial investments. Cash flows from financing activities indicate theresources used in financing activities and the repayment of these resources. For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equiv-alents comprise of cash in hand accounts, bank deposits and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amountsof cash with maturities equal or less than three months.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

2.6.18 Trade receivables and provision for impairment of receivables

Trade receivables that are realised by the Company by way of providing goods or services directly to a debtor are recognised initially at fair valueand subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment if any. Short-term trade receiv-ables with no stated interest rate are measured at original invoice amount unless the effect of imputing interest is significant.

A credit risk provision for trade receivables is established if there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect the amountsdue. The amount of the provision is the difference between the carrying amount and the recoverable amount, being the present value of all cashflows, including amounts recoverable from guarantees and collateral, discounted based on the original effective interest rate of the originatedreceivables at inception.

If the amount of the impairment subsequently decreases due to an event occurring after the write-down, the release of the provision is credited toother operating income in the statement of income (Note 31).

2.6.19 Share capital and dividends

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Dividends payable on shares are recognised as an appropriation of the profit in the period in which theyare declared. Dividend income is recognised when the Company’s right to receive the payment is established.

2.7 Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments

Preparation of financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that may affect the amount of assets and liabilities recognised asof the balance sheet date, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities and the amount of revenue and expenses reported. Although these esti-mates and assumptions rely on the Company management’s best knowledge about current events and transactions, actual outcomes may vary fromthose estimates and assumptions. Significant estimates of the Company management are as follows:

a) Income taxes There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business and sig-nificant judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes. The Company recognises tax liabilities for anticipated tax issues basedon estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initiallyrecorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred income tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

b) Fair value determination of available for sale investmentsThe generally accepted valuation techniques used in fair value determination of available for sale investments for which there is no quoted mar-ket price exists, consist of several assumptions, which are based on the management’s best estimates (Note 7).

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

c) Revaluation of land, buildings and land improvements, machinery and equipments At 31 December 2008, land, land improvements and buildings, were stated at fair value, based on valuations performed by external independentvaluers as of the same date. As there were not any recent similar buying/selling transactions nearby, revaluations of land were based on the methodof reference comparison whereas revaluations of buildings and land improvements were based on the method of cost approach. In the market ref-erence comparison method, current market information was utilised, taking into consideration the comparable property in the market in recentpast in the region, price adjustment was made within the framework of criteria that could affect market conditions, and accordingly an averagem2 sale value was determined for lands subject to the valuation. The similar lands found were compared in terms of location, size, settlement sta-tus, physical conditions, real estate marketing firms were consulted for up-to-date valuation of the estate market, also, current information andexperience of the professional valuation company was utilised.

In the cost approach method, fair value of the buildings and land improvements was calculated by considering recent re-construction costs andrelated depreciation. In the cost approach method, above explained market reference comparison method was used in calculation of the land value,one of the components. Regarding the valuation of the machinery and equipment, technologic conditions, actual depreciation, commercial attrib-utes and industrial positions as well as demounting and assembling costs were taken into account. Whenever a fully integrated industrial plantwas in discussion, the revaluation work was performed based on all the active and functioning assets in the integrated plant rather than taking asbasis the data for the second-hand market within the scope of the valuation of the machinery and equipment. Such machinery and equipmentwere reviewed and assessed by their line (Note 18).

NOTE 24 - EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (Continued)

The principal assumption is that the maximum liability for each year of service will increase in line with inflation. Thus, the discount rate appliedrepresents the expected real rate after adjusting for the anticipated effects of future inflation. The maximum amount of TL2.260,05 which is effec-tive from 1 January 2009 (1 January 2008: TL2.087,92) has been taken into consideration in calculating the provision for employment termina-tion benefits of the Company which is calculated once in every six months.

The following actuarial assumptions were used in the calculation of the total liability:

31 December 2008 31 December 2007

Discount rate (%) 6,26 5,71Probability of retirement (%) 96,53 94,70

Movements of the provision for employment termination benefits during the years are as follows:

(*) As of 31 December 2008, the increase in the provision for employment termination benefits amounting to TL42.711 is related with the esti-mation of the provisions developed by actuarial valuation methods of the future probable obligation arising from the retirement of the outsourcedpersonnel.

The total of interest cost, actuarial losses and annual charge for the year amounting to TL117.794 (2007: TL43.973) were allocated to generaladministrative expenses by TL75.083 (2007: TL43.973) (Note 29) and to cost of sales by TL42.711 (2007: None).

NOTE 27 - EQUITY (Continued)

Quoted companies are subject to dividend requirements regulated by the CMB as follows:

The minimum profit distribution ratio over net profit for 2008 applicable for public companies, shares of which are publicly traded on IstanbulStock Exchange, is 20% (2007: 20%), as described in the announcement of CMB dated 9 January 2009. According to the aforementionedannouncement and CMB Communiqué No: IV, No: 27, in which profit distribution base of publicly traded companies is set, depending on thedecisions made by the general assemblies, the distribution of the relevant amount may be realized by cash or by pro-rata shares or partly as cashand pro-rata shares; and in the event that the first dividend amount identified is less than 5% of the paid-up capital, the relevant amount can beretained within the company. However, companies that increased capital rather than distributing dividends in the prior period and whose sharesare therefore classified under "old" and "new" categories and who will distribute dividends from the profit for the current year operations arerequired to distribute the first dividend in cash.

The procedure in the context of the aforementioned CMB decision about that income from investment in associates recognised in the financialstatements should be disregarded, if the profit distribution is not approved by the general assemblies of the associates. The procedure of disclos-ing such amount has been cancelled. As long as the statutory accounts and reserves are sufficient profit in the financial statements prepared inaccordance with the Communiqué No. XI-29 can be utilised in the calculation of profit distribution.

Accordingly, based on the related decision, if the amount of profit distributions calculated in accordance with the net distributable profit require-ments of the CMB does not exceed the statutory net distributable profit, the whole amount of distributable profit in accordance with the CMBrequirements, should be distributed. If it exceeds the statutory net distributable profit, the whole amount of the statutory net distributable profitshould be distributed. It is stated that dividend distributions should not be made if there is a loss in either the financial statements prepared inaccordance with CMB regulations or in the statutory financial statements.

At 31 December 2008, the total amount of net income after the deduction of accumulated losses per statutory records, without appropriating legalreserves and other reserves that can be subject to dividend distribution is TL7.027.169. Extraordinary reserves of the Company at 31 December2008 that may be subject to profit distribution amount to TL4.116.727.

Based on the decision of General Assembly meeting on 15 May 2008, dividend payment was made to owners of redeemed shares by the amountnot exceeding the 10% of dividend to shareholders in accordance with the articles of the association of the Company. The Company has distrib-uted 20% of the net income for the year 2007 amounting to TL1.752.680 as first dividend, 47% of the paid-in capital amounting to TL4.231.714as second dividend and TL540.000 as redeemed share, total of which amounted to TL6.524.394.

NOTE 35 - TAXATION ON INCOME (Continued)

According to Turkish Corporate Income Tax Law numbered 5520, effective from 21 June 2006, a 75% portion of the gains derived from the saleof preferential rights, usufruct shares and founding shares from investment equity and real property, which has remained in assets for more thantwo full years, are exempt from corporate tax. To be entitled to the exemption, the relevant gain is required to be held in a fund account in theliabilities and it must not be withdrawn from the entity for a period of five years. The sales consideration has to be collected up until the end ofthe second calendar year following the year the sale was realised.

Dividends paid to non-resident corporations, which have a place of business in Turkey, or resident corporations are not subject to withholdingtax. Otherwise, dividends paid are subject to withholding tax at the rate of 15% (2007: 15%). An increase in capital via issuing bonus shares isnot considered profit distribution and thus does not incur withholding tax.

Corporations are required to pay advance corporation tax quarterly at the rate of 20% (2007: 20%) on their corporate income. Advance tax isdeclared by 10th and payable by the 17th (2007: 17) of the second month following each calendar quarter end. Advance tax paid by corporationsis credited against the annual corporation tax liability. The balance of the advance tax paid may be refunded or used to be set off against other lia-bilities to the government.

In Turkey, there is no procedure for final and definitive agreement on tax assessment. Companies file their tax returns within the 25th of the fourthmonth following the close of the financial year to which they relate.

Tax returns are open for five years from the beginning of the year that follows the date of filing during which time the tax authorities have theright to audit tax returns, and the related accounting records on which they are based, and may issue re-assessments based on their findings. Underthe Turkish taxation system, tax losses can be carried forward to offset against future taxable income for up to five years. Tax losses cannot be car-ried back to offset profits from previous periods.

There are many exemptions in Corporate Tax Law regarding corporations. Those related to the Group are explained below:

Dividend gains from shares in capital of another corporation subject to resident taxpaying (except dividends from investment funds participationcertificates and investment trusts shares) are exempt from corporate tax.

Profits from sale of preferential right certificates and share premiums generated from sale of shares at a price exceeding face values of those sharesduring incorporations or capital increases of joint stock companies are exempt from corporate tax.

Accordingly, the aforementioned gains/ (losses) which have been included in trade profit/ (loss) have been taken into consideration in calculationof Company’s corporate tax.

Apart from the exemptions mentioned in the preceding paragraphs, the deductions granted in 14th and recurring 8th articles of Corporate TaxLaw and 40 th article of the Income Tax Law together with the 10th article of Corporate Tax Law have been taken into consideration in calcula-tion of the Company’s corporate tax.

Transfer Pricing

The Law No: 5520 Article 13, which made new arrangements to transfer pricing was effective from 1 January 2007. With the aforementioned law,considerable amendments have been made to transfer pricing regulations by taking EU and OECD transfer pricing guidelines as a basis. In thisrespect, corporations should set the prices in accordance with the arm’s length principle while entering into transactions regarding the sale or pur-chase of goods and services with related parties. Under the arm’s length principle within the new legislation related parties must set the transferprices for purchase and sale of goods and services as if they would have been agreed between third parties. Depending on the circumstances, achoice of accepted methods in aforementioned law of arm’s length transaction has to be made by corporations for transactions with related par-ties. Corporations should keep the documentary evidence within the company representing how arm’s length price has been determined and themethodology that has been chosen by use of any fiscal records and calculations in case of any request by tax authorities. Besides, corporationsmust report transactions with related parties in a fiscal period.

If a taxpayer enters into transactions regarding the sale or purchase of goods and services with related parties, where the prices are not set in accor-dance with the arm’s length principle, then related profits are considered to be distributed in a disguised manner through transfer pricing. Theprofit distributed in a disguised manner through transfer pricing completely or partially, will be assessed as distributed profit share or transferredamount to headquarter for limited taxpayers. After the distributed profit share is considered as net profit share and complemented to gross amount,deemed profit will be subject to corporate tax. Previous taxation processes will be revised accordingly by taxpayer who distributes disguised prof-it. In order to make adjustments in this respect, the taxes assessed in the name of the company distributing dividends in a disguised manner mustbe finalised and paid.

Taxes on income for the years ended 31 December are summarised as follows:

1 January - 1 January -31 December 2008 31 December 2007

Current corporation income tax expense (1.705.995) (3.043.032)Deferred income tax expense (200.968) (2.003.489)

NOTE 36 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing profit for the year by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year.

Companies can increase their share capital by making a pro-rata distribution of shares ("bonus shares") to existing shareholders from retained earn-ings. For the purpose of loss per share computations, the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year has been adjusted inrespect of bonus shares issues without a corresponding change in resources, by giving them retroactive effect for the year in which they were issuedand for each earlier year.

Earning per share is calculated by dividing net profit for the period to weighted average number of shares during that period.

1 January - 1 January -31 December 2008 31 December 2007

Net profit for the period A 5.679.756 8.336.924

Weighted average number of shares (Note 27) B 12.732.754 12.732.754

Earnings per share with a TL1 face value A/B 0,4461 0,6548

There are no differences between basic and diluted earnings per share.

(*) Whole amount of the receivables that were overdue but not impaired have been collected as of the approval date of the financial statements.

b) Liquidity risk:

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and cash equivalents, the availability of funding through an adequateamount of committed credit facilities and the ability to close out market positions.

The ability to fund the existing and prospective debt requirements is managed by maintaining the availability of adequate committed fundinglines from high quality lenders. The Company management closely monitors the timely collection of trade receivables, take actions to minimizethe effect of delay in collections and arrange cash and non-cash credit lines from financial institutions in case of a requirement.

NOTE 39 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (FAIR VALUE AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT DISCLOSURES)

Fair value is the amount at which a financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in aforced sale or liquidation, and is best evidenced by a quoted market price, if one exists.

The estimated fair values of financial instruments have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriatevaluation methodologies. However, judgment is necessarily required to interpret market data to estimate the fair value. Accordingly, the esti-mates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company can realise in a current market exchange.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of the financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimatefair value:

Financial assetsThe fair values of balances denominated in foreign currencies, which are translated at year-end exchange rates, are considered to approximate totheir carrying values. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at their fair values. The fair values of trade receivables and due from related partiesare considered to approximate their respective carrying values due to their short-term nature. Available for sale investments are carried at theirfair values.

D‹PNOT 39 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (FAIR VALUE AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT DISCLOSURES) (Continued)

Financial liabilitiesFair values of bank borrowings are disclosed in Note 8.

Trade payables, payables to related parties and other monetary liabilities are estimated to be presented with their discounted carrying amountsand they are considered to approximate to their fair values and the fair values of balances denominated in foreign currencies, which are translat-ed at year-end exchange rates, are considered to approximate carrying values.

NOTE 40 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In accordance with the Article 1 of the Law No: 5083 concerning the “Currency of the Republic of Turkey” and according to the Decision ofThe Council of Ministers dated April 4, 2007 and No: 2007/11963, the prefix “New” used in the “New Turkish Lira” and the “New Kurufl” havebeen removed as of January 1, 2009. When the prior currency, New Turkish lira (“YTL”), values are converted into TL and Kr, one YTL (YTL1)and one YKr (YKr1) are now equivalent to one TL (TL1) and one Kr (Kr1).

All references made to New Turkish Lira or Lira in laws, other legislation, administrative transactions, court decisions, legal transactions, nego-tiable instruments and other documents that produce legal effects as well as payment and exchange instruments are now considered to havebeen made to TL at the conversion rate indicated above. Consequently, effective from 1 January 2009, the TL replaced the YTL as a unit ofaccount in keeping and presenting of books, accounts and financial statements.
