  29. LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN we will digital transformation continue to grow through Protectionist tendencies emerging in the trade wars between China and the United States were felt across all markets in 2018 , suggesting that we are in the beginning of a new global economic epoch. Esteemed Stakeholders, In 2018, economic growth momentum continued, despite elevated geopolitical risks across the global economy. Protectionist leanings that emerged during the trade wars between China and the United States were felt across all markets in 2018, suggesting that we are at the beginning of a new global economic epoch. According to the IMF’s October 2018 ‘World Economic Outlook Report’, the global economy is expected to grow by 3.7% in 2018, a performance similar to 2017. On the other hand, the US economy, marked by the Fed’s four interest rate hikes during the year, grew 2.9% as of end-2018. The Eurozone, which in 2017 had recorded its largest growth figures in a decade, dipped to 1.5% growth in 2018. Emerging countries, led by China and India, are 28 ALBARAKA TÜRK ANNUAL REPORT 2018 expected to post 4.7% growth as of end-2018 on the back of strong domestic and overseas demand, as well as rising commodity prices; while China is anticipated to grow 6.5% in line with its controlled slowdown strategy. Trade barriers will rise The global economy, which has pursued a horizontal growth trajectory for a number of years, is expected to lose steam in 2019 due to geopolitical risks, the Brexit process and rising trade barriers among different regions. Owing to this slowdown, the Fed is expected to relax its tight monetary policy, which has triggered interest rate hikes in all markets. Turkey eliminated risks with the New Economic Program… After posting the highest growth rate among OECD countries in 2017, Turkey maintained its strong growth trend in the first quarter of 2018. However, in the second half of 2018, due to volatility in exchange rates, Turkey encountered a vicious circle comprising a deterioration in pricing behavior, a loss of consumer appetite, and rising consumer inflation. Faced with these issues, the government launched the New Economic Program (NEP), with due consideration of the current global economic conditions. The NEP has focused on savings in the public sector, as well as encouraging the private sector towards export-oriented growth, thus setting out a roadmap for all the economic players. The government’s measures for stabilization produced positive impacts on the economy’s actors in a short time,
  30. LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN while restoring equilibrium to the sector . Due to geopolitical risks in our region and local elections scheduled for March 31, 2019, NEP forecasts prudent growth figures of 3.8% for year-end 2018 and 2.3% for year-end 2019. At Albaraka Türk we believe that our nation performance will surpass these figures - which do not reflect its true potential - once the government’s anti-inflation program achieves success. In this respect, we continue our strong support to the Turkish economy and resolutely maintain our growth targets. The Turkish banking sector maintains its robust capital structure According to BRSA data, as of end-2018, there are 50 banks active in Turkey, five of which are participation banks.1 There are 11,493 domestic branches in total, with 72 overseas branches. According to BRSA’s year-end 2018 data, the industry’s total assets rose by 18.7% over the prior year, reaching TL 3.867.435 million, while total shareholders’ equity rose 17.3% to TL 421.791 million.

We effectively manage risks in the banking sector with our robust capital structure... The Federal Reserve (Fed), which has been performing interest rate increases since 2015 in line with its tight monetary policy, continued this policy in 2018, hiking interest rates four times. The Fed’s tight monetary policy brought about liquidity shortage in global capital markets, as well as interest rate hikes by other central banks. In the face of these hikes across global capital markets, the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (CBRT) assumed a neutral attitude for a significant period; however,
  33. MESSAGE FROM THE CEO In line with its mission to spearhead the development of interest-free participation banking in Turkey , Albaraka Türk, Turkey’s first participation bank, achieved important breakthroughs in 2018. exchange rate volatility in the second half of 2018 led to significant capital outflow in our country. Under these circumstances, the government announced the New Economy Program (NEP), which focuses on combating inflation in line with a growth approach focused on savings and exports. In order to support the government’s stabilization measures, the CBRT increased the funding rate by 500 basis points in the first half of 2018 and by 625 basis points in August. The CBRT’s tight monetary policy based on interest rate hikes has ushered in a new era for the banking sector. Embodying over 30 years of experience and expertise in the Turkish banking sector, Albaraka Türk did not compromise its corporate objectives and remained committed to its success formula based on ‘experience-performance-trust’, as well as a robust participation fund structure.

  35. MACROECONOMIC AND SECTOR OUTLOOK a story of success Total assets of the banking industry rose 18 .7% over the prior year-end to TL 3,867,435 million. MACROECONOMIC OUTLOOK Global Economy The global economy maintained its strong growth drive in 2018, despite the rising trade tensions between the US and China, and various geopolitical risks. According to the IMF’s World Economic Outlook Report dated October 2018, the global economy is expected to expand by 3.7% in 2018, in a similar performance to 2017.1 The Trump administration’s decision to raise customs tariffs in order to narrow the US foreign trade deficit vis-a-vis China escalated trade tensions between the United States and China during 2018. The US presidential administration’s measures to stimulate the real economy are expected to lead to 2.9% annual growth as of end-2018. Meanwhile China, on the verge of becoming the world’s largest https://www.imf.org/en/Publications/ WEO/Issues/2018/09/24/worldeconomic-outlook-october-2018 1 36 ALBARAKA TÜRK ANNUAL REPORT 2018 economy, posted 6.6% growth as of year’s end. After having taken measures toward economic rebalancing for a long time, China is expected to channel its trade surplus into long term, comprehensive projects such as the One Belt One Road initiative in the coming period. As for global capital and money markets, the key determining factor in 2018 was the Federal Reserve’s steps toward monetary tightening. The Fed closed the year with four interest rate hikes. These tightening measures were strongly felt in emerging markets, particularly in the form of a dollar liquidity squeeze. Due to the global climate of uncertainty fostered by trade wars, global economic growth is forecast to lose momentum in 2019. This trend is expected to have an adverse effect on the Fed’s tightening policy. The Eurozone, which experienced a contraction in 2018 for the first time in a decade, is projected to see its risk level rise in the coming period due to Brexit. Turkish Economy After recording the highest economic growth rate among G-20 countries in 2017 at 7.4%, Turkey encountered problems such as inflation, rising market interest rates and increased financing costs from the second half of 2018 onwards, due to exchange rate volatility. Geopolitical risks and international turmoil further aggravated the situation. This situation, however. did not reflect the sound fundamentals of the Turkish economy. The turbulence was subsequently stabilized to a large extent with monetary and fiscal measures directed toward the financial markets. The government launched the New Economic Program in October to recreate a success story in response to changing conditions in the global economy. The program, which outlines Turkey’s growth trajectory from 2019 to 2021, fosters a growth performance built upon savings and exports. Under this effort, Turkey is expected to expand 2.6% in 2018 and 2.3% in 2019. Owing to rebalancing measures adopted in the wake of the New Economic Program, stability was restored to the foreign exchange markets and anti-inflationary policies gained more weight.
  36. The BIST 100 Index , which started the year at historic highs, fell to as low as 90 thousand at the end of the year. In 2019, however, due to increasing doubts about the Fed’s monetary tightening and the looming slowdown in economic growth, liquidity conditions are not expected to be as challenging as in 2018. As a result, the forecast for 2019 is more positive year than 2018 in both money markets and capital markets. Due to this expectation, Turkish growth is projected to pick up pace in 2019. Banking Industry Outlook According to Turkish Banking Association figures, there are 50 banks in operation in Turkey as of end-2018, 32 of which are deposit banks.2 Banks active in Turkey operate a total of 11,493 domestic branches and 72 overseas branches. Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency (BRSA) October 2018 data show that total assets of the banking industry rose 18.7% over the prior year-end to TL 3,867,435 million, while total shareholders’ equity went up 17.6% to TL 421,791 million. Total deposits of the banking sector climbed 19.0% to TL 2,035,965 million over the previous year-end, while total loans increased 14.1% year-over-year to TL 2,394,426 million. According to December 2018 figures of the Turkish Banking Association, the Turkey’s banking sector figured among the strongest industries in terms of employment in 2018. The total number of employees employed by the sector stood at 193,815, down 207,716 (0.3%) year-on-year, but up 564 over the previous quarter.2 despite the risks appearing in domestic and international markets. Having played a key role in Turkey’s sustainable growth performance to date, the banking industry will continue to stand by the real economy with its robust financing capabilities. 2 https://www.tbb.org.tr/BultenAylik/en The exchange rate shock of third quarter 2018 was a major stress test for the banking industry. Turkey’s banking sector successfully navigated this turbulence by prudently leveraging its robust capital structure and professional management approach. Despite this significant stress test, the Turkish banking industry demonstrated strong growth across all key indicators. The sector is expected to adopt a conservative approach in the coming period in the face of challenges such as contraction of liquidity sources, inflation, and rising operational costs resulting from the fluctuations in 2018. Nonetheless, the industry is expected to maintain positive growth INTRODUCTION 37
  37. ASSESSMENT OF OUR ACTIVITIES IN 2018 analyzing and finding fast solutions The Bank facilitates business and trade while providing more added value by continuing to diversify its products . Unconditional Support to SMEs... Albaraka Türk is committed to the principle of always providing support to SMEs, a segment that plays a key role in Turkey’s sustainable development drive. To this end, the Bank introduced significant changes to its sales team structure, transforming its Commercial Sales staff into Commercial and SMEs Sales staff. Under this new structure, SMEs were redefined as special clients and marketing efforts have been realigned accordingly. Albaraka Türk not only meets the financial needs of SMEs, but also provides them with the best quality service at every stage of their corporate value cycle. The Bank offers SME clients the highest quality service from a single point. 38 ALBARAKA TÜRK ANNUAL REPORT 2018 In 2018, the Bank launched the “Albaraka Dealer Card,” which allows for goods purchases from the franchiser only. The POS device developed for this card has software that enables systemic interaction only between the dealer, bank and franchiser. This product has enhanced the purchasing power of SMEs, and met their financing needs with flexible maturity terms, thereby offering them significant advantages. “www.kureselkobiler.com” for SMEs That Want to Go Global Albaraka Türk also supports SMEs with the www.kureselkobiler.com (Glocal SMEs) web site. Designed specifically for SME users to explore domestic and foreign markets more closely and seize business opportunities there, the full service site includes a comprehensive range of banking products and services. The Glocal SMEs platform is designed to help SMEs seeking to expand from local to global with new products and services, a wide international network, consultancy support and the integrated service approach of Albaraka Türk.

Sustainable Financial Results in the SME Business Line... Despite an environment where fund costs have risen and global monetary inflows continue but on a more limited scale, the Bank has steadily moved forward. Albaraka Türk – fully aware of the importance of SMEs for Turkey, the de facto lifeblood of the economy – has boosted its support to this key segment. At present, the share of SMEs in the Bank’s total funding has climbed to 45%.
  38. Innovative Products and Services in Line With Customer Expectations ... Having played a critical role in the development of Turkish participation banking with its innovative products and services, Albaraka Türk continued to offer customers products that facilitate commerce and create more value in 2018. Albaraka Türk analyzes the needs of its customers and develops interest-free instruments to address these needs. The Bank ensures that these products are: »» »» »» »» Innovative, Digital-friendly, Socially responsible, Accessible to disabled customers. Some of the products developed with this customer-focused, innovative and holistic approach include the following: PGS: PGS (Portfolio Guarantee System) is a Treasury-backed guarantee provided via banks, based on the guarantee limit that KGF assigns the banks on the basis of portfolios. No additional KGF evaluation of the beneficiary’s creditworthiness is required. Albaraka Türk was rapidly integrated into PGS, KGF’s new agreement with immense importance to SMEs. The Bank was the first participation bank to offer PGS guarantee to its clients. Albaraka Dealer Card: Albaraka Dealer Card offers a swift, practical solution to firms that engage in forward sales and want to guarantee these sales. The card allows the financing of purchases by dealers from the main company, through the closed circuit online system established between the main company and the Bank.

Albaraka Dealer Card allows primary companies to guarantee their sales, reduce operational workload and develop campaigns. The card also gives dealers the opportunity to increase their purchasing power, pay under flexible maturity terms and benefit from campaigns. ELÜS (Electronic Warehouse Receipt) Backed Credit: Albaraka Türk became the first participation bank to offer its clients the Electronic Warehouse Receipt (ELÜS). This is one of the major outputs of the Licensed Warehouse System established with government support. ELÜS helps prevent price drops in agricultural products due to excess supply, and thus balance the market. In addition, ELÜS enables farmers and producers with financing needs to obtain funds from banks with their product receipts; facilitates the sale of agricultural products; and enables merchants to quickly procure products. Farmers and merchants deliver their products to licensed warehouses and in return receive the ELÜS, which functions like securities. The receipt in effect facilitates online ownership, transfer and collateral transactions related to the product. The electronic warehouse receipts held by customers are accepted as a guarantee by the Bank, which extends funds to the bearers in return. Thanks to ELÜS-backed financing, customers can present their products that are stored in licensed warehouses when prices rise as collateral and obtain loans.

One-Day Financing is closed at the end of the day. Bill Paying Account: The Bank intermediates in the bill collections of various companies.

Customers then have one month to make payment to the Bank. VADİ (Forward Exchange Transactions): In Turkey, exchange rate risk is one of the major threats to a company’s business activities. Albaraka Türk’s new banking product Forward Exchange Transactions provides an innovative solution to this issue. This new product enables import/export customers to buy and sell foreign currencies at exchange rates fixed beforehand. As a result, customers have the opportunity to hedge against fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and make better financial forecasts. Tax – SGK Financing: This financing product, featuring a maximum three-day maturity term, in addition to zero profit share and commission, is designed to meet customers’ short-term, urgent financial needs for their tax and SGK (Social Security Institution) payments. Foreign Trade Service Package: Albaraka Türk designed four Foreign Trade Service Packages – Silver, Gold, Platinum, VIP – to meet the different needs of foreign trade customers. The packages offer popular products and services at advantageous prices. The number of active mobile customers increased by over the previous year.

Hajj/Umrah Saving Accounts: The Bank has launched three new Participation Accounts under the category of Hajj/Umrah Saving Accounts to enable customers (especially potential customers) to save for a future hajj or umrah trip, at advantageous profit sharing rates. 40 ALBARAKA TÜRK ANNUAL REPORT 2018 Tuition Payment Guarantee and Educational Support Personal Accident Insurance: These insurance products are aimed at parents who may or may not be using Tuition Instalment Financing, and who want to guarantee tuition payments for their children and protect against the risk of death, disability and unemployment. In addition, the Bank expanded its online insurance product portfolio and offered customers the ability to compare prices more quickly in order to boost overall insurance service quality. Supporting Customers 24/7 via Alternative Distribution Channels (ADC) Digital transformation is fundamentally changing the banking industry just like other sectors. Smartphones gain more and more importance in individuals’ daily lives and reshape habits of consumption and usage. The innovative face of the participation banking sector, Albaraka Türk, has launched a comprehensive digital transformation initiative and has rapidly adapted its products and services.

  43. ASSESSMENT OF OUR ACTIVITIES IN 2018 Albaraka T ürk’s foreign trade volume rose by 35% over the prior year, one of the major reasons for the aforementioned increases in foreign trade was the Bank’s ability to serve in Turkey’s export markets with its vast correspondent network. a correspondent banking relationship was established with Goldman Sachs concerning the Bank’s treasury transactions. In pursuit of the Bank’s medium and long-term growth strategies, with a view toward bolstering existing correspondent relations in African, European and Middle Eastern markets, Albaraka Türk organized country visits.

The Financial Institutions and Investor Relations Department represented Albaraka Türk at the SIBOS event that took place in Australia in 2018, holding meetings with nearly 40 banks. During visits to correspondent banks, the Bank also made a point of visiting the Turkish Embassies and Trade Attaches’ Offices in those countries. As such, the lists of Turkish firms operating in the countries visited, and up-to-date and detailed information on administrative, political, financial and foreign trade issues were obtained first-hand. These lists of firms were shared with the Bank’s marketing units to support effective marketing initiatives designed to expand foreign trade volumes. 44 ALBARAKA TÜRK ANNUAL REPORT 2018 Rising Foreign Trade Volume In 2018, Albaraka Türk’s foreign trade volume increased 35% over the prior year. The export volume climbed 44% ¬– a rate much higher than the overall rise in Turkish exports (9%). The Bank posted an 18% jump in import volume, while foreign exchange transactions rose 12% during the year. One of the major reasons for the aforementioned increases in foreign trade was the Bank’s ability to serve clients in Turkey’s export markets with its vast correspondent network. Sensitivity to International Legislation and Customs 2018, Albaraka Türk’s General Directorate of Legislation and Compliance took major steps to enhance collaboration with authorities; implement decisions adopted by OFAC, UN General Council and MASAK; and manage the KYC (Know Your Client) demands from correspondent banks. As a result of this collaboration, the Bank set up the International Banking Committee and established coordination between relevant departments. To raise awareness on the issues of legislation and compliance, the staff of the relevant head office unit underwent periodic training.

  45. ASSESSMENT OF OUR ACTIVITIES IN 2018 In 2018 , representatives from Uganda’s Tropical Bank Limited, Kyrgyzstan’s BTA Bank, and Oman’s Bank Sohar participated in Albaraka Türk’s orientation program, receiving ample information on participation banking practices. These programs are scheduled to continue in 2019. Investment Banking Services That Add Value to Clients 2018 was the first year of operation of the Investment Banking Department and a rather intense period due to significant market fluctuations. Albaraka Türk began to offer custody services for the first time in 2018, via the Investment Banking Department. During this process coordinated by the Department, the Bank established integration with the Central Registration Agency, procured software from third parties, and completed the whole process with success following the testing stage. As of 2018, the Bank offers customers the chance to open up investment accounts, place their securities in custody, and perform money transfers in a rapid manner. As such, the Bank not only provides better quality and faster services to customers, but also generates commission revenues. 46 ALBARAKA TÜRK ANNUAL REPORT 2018 In 2018, Albaraka Türk issued lease certificates via public offering for the first time. Within the limited issuance ceiling granted by the Capital Markets Board, the Bank conducted its first issue with success and ample participation. Such issues are a significant means of extending fund collection activities across a wider base. In addition, the book-building and distribution processes for lease certificate issues were transferred to the Albatros monitors. As a result of this transfer, individual errors were reduced to a large extent, boosting the efficiency of the issue process. Furthermore, the integrated reporting system facilitates data analysis after the issue. Total Funds Reach TL 7.5 Billion Fiscal year 2018 was marked by success in terms of both domestic and overseas market transactions. The total volume of funds collected by the Investment Banking Department amounted to about TL 7.5 billion. A total of 22 issues were held in the domestic market, yielding a total of TL 3.3 billion (TL 3,338,470,000.00). As of end-2018, outstanding lease certificates stood at TL 1.6 billion. In the international markets, the Bank issued its first Additional Tier 1 Capital (AT1 Sukuk) worth USD 205,000.000 in February. This transaction was the first Additional Tier 1 Capital (AT1 Sukuk) issue in Turkey. In April, the Bank rolled over its USD 213 million murabaha syndication which had come to maturity, securing a murabaha syndication loan worth USD 245 million and EUR 60 million. In May 2018, the Bank issued a Privately Placed Sukuk worth USD 90,000,000 with a six-month maturity period. In addition, the Bank issued a Basel IIIcompliant AT1 Sukuk worth USD 205,000,000 listed on the Irish Stock Exchange. As a result of the additional capital issue, the Bank’s capital adequacy ratio increased by nearly 3%, well above the industry average. This is a fairly new product in the global capital markets and was issued for the first time in Turkey by Albaraka Türk. Corporate Loan Services Empowering Corporate Clients Albaraka Türk continued to pioneer innovative corporate loan projects in 2018. The major Corporate Loans projects conducted during the year include: Digital Allocation Limits Systemic improvement efforts under the umbrella of the Digital Allocation Project gained steam in 2018. The current system’s disadvantages in use and outcomes for customers were reanalyzed from every angle. A series of meetings were organized with the relevant units; as a result of these meetings, it was determined to revisit issues such as a radical transformation of the loan module and reorganization of product groups.
  46. Currently , the Bank’s loan allocation processes are automated to a limited extent, and labor-intensive efforts are required from the users. The vast amount of operational workload on the users leads to significant problems. With optimization of the loan proposal/allocation process under the digital transformation program, a more user-friendly process with less operational workload, integrated into the system, has been designed. In addition, the Bank aims to establish an automatic allocation structure within specific conditions for limits/guarantees via the rating system. The transformation process, which started in first quarter 2017, was over 70% complete as of end-2018. Physical tests began in early 2019 at a pilot branch with real firms and now it is available in all branches. The ultimate objectives are overcoming time barriers in finalization of loan proposals, reducing loss of time and energy, producing simpler and more comprehensible results, enhancing the motivation of branch and head office personnel by eliminating systemic problems, and maximizing customer satisfaction. Rating-Based Credit Allocation Limit Authorization In the banking industry, it is vital to accurately analyze data affecting firms’ credit worthiness and to make credit decisions in light of this data. To perform a more objective assessment, a bank must allocate loans on the basis of a rating methodology. In this assessment method, a much more comprehensive financial and non-financial analysis is performed for loan allocation. The firms’ risk scores are calculated by adding up their points in each category of analysis. The rating score thus calculated for each firm then becomes the most determining factor in the credit allocation decision as well as credit type, volume, guarantee, pricing and other conditions. The Bank Board of Directors resolved to make the client rating score an important factor in credit allocation authorization, alongside other factors such as limit amount and guarantee. Such credit decisions based on the risk ratings of credit clients are expected to bring down the Bank’s NPL ratio and have a favorable impact on the Bank’s risk map. Product Management In 2018, the Bank’s Product Management Department made significant improvements in the current product portfolio, while also introducing customers to numerous innovative products and services. Closely monitoring the digital transformation process, the Bank focused on digital solutions in product management in order to design products and services that maximize customer satisfaction.

Ready Retail Finance Limits: To meet customers’ retail financing needs, the Bank performed periodic assessments, allocated ready limits, and periodically notified customers with approval.

For SMEs: The Bank launched the Supplier Financing System, Additional Accounting Solution Integrations, as well as short term support and commercial service package for Salary and Check Payments. Innovative Products and Services for Customers Gold Transfer System: Albaraka Türk has very swiftly adapted to this system which allows transfers from a gold account to another bank and provided access to its client base. Supplier Financing System: The Supplier Financing System (SFS) is a cash management product that allows suppliers who have outstanding receivables from the main company to which they sell products to give these receivables to the Bank as guarantee while taking out loans. SFS also allows main companies to perform their multiple payments to suppliers automatically. Real Estate Investment Fund with Commitment: Real estate investment funds were added as a commitment of buyback at a specific maturity and rate, to give interestaverse customers the chance to sell funds with a fixed return. Targets for 2019 In fiscal year 2019, Albaraka Türk, as part of the digital transformation process, will manage its current product portfolio in line with customer demands and expectations, while also introducing new innovative products.

In Albaraka Türk, the following principles are embraced and applied in the fields of operation. First Principle: Investments may only be made in sectors and industries that meet the ethical standards. The moral values of Islam dictate that Muslims must invest in the production of, and trade in, useful and beneficial goods only. They therefore forbid investment in activities that, for example, contribute to the production of alcoholic beverages, tobacco or weapons, or are associated in any way with gambling, pornography or the abuse of children, women and minorities, or any other morally questionable practices Second Principle: Albaraka Türk eschew the payment of interest in their relations with depositors, consumers and businesses, as Islam prohibits the paying or charging of interest. Instead we as All the other ABG subsidiaries; accept deposits on an investment basis whereby depositors share with the bank in the actual results of the realization of their investments. Financing is provided to businesses in turn mainly on the basis of installment sale, leasing or equity participation. In this way, the Bank and its depositors share the financial risk with the entrepreneurs and they reap the benefits of the investments together. The essential difference in Islam is that the practice of profit sharing is such that wealth creation is the result of a partnership between investors and entrepreneurs in which both the risks and the rewards are shared: returns on invested capital are based on profits actually generated rather than predetermined interest rates. Third Principle: All contracts we enter into with business owners and depositors, must comply with the ethical standards of the Shari’a. »» Within the credit policy, financing of harmful investments such as production of alcoholic beverages, tobacco or weapons are strictly forbidden. The credit allocation processes are designed to monitor every single credit transaction and prevent non-Islamic and harmful investments or projects which are harmful to societies. By internal training program and communication campaigns, it is aimed to increase the Bank staff’s awareness of our social responsibility initiatives. Moreover, all shareholders are encouraged and supported to create and participate in social responsibility activities and projects. »» »» The Bank provides their commercial clients with short term financing facilities in form of qard al-hasan (e.g. salary, cheque, tax payments and day loans). As the Bank is working on new products and services to provide the opportunity of qard al-hasan to our retail customers, the product of Hajj-Umrah financing on installment basis, which does not incur any expenses such as profit share, commission etc., has been created. In accordance with the social responsibility program, investments and projects related to initiatives in line with the program objectives such as job creation, improvement of education and healthcare are aimed to be prioritized. Increasing the portion of SME financing in the total financing portfolio is among the important strategic targets of the Bank.

  91. RISK MANAGEMENT The objective of the Risk Management System of the Bank is to ensure the definition , measurement, monitoring and controlling of the encountered risks by means of the policies, implementation methods and limits that have been determined to monitor, control and when necessary change the risk-return structure including the future cash flows and, accordingly, the quality and level of the activities. To monitor and control risks to which the Bank is exposed on account of the banking activities, the Board of Directors is responsible for establishing internal control, risk management and internal auditing systems in accordance with the Banking Law and ensuring and monitoring the proper functioning, conformity and adequacy thereof. The Board of Directors periodically reviews and assesses risk management policies and strategies according to the changing market conditions. The General Manager has to ensure that departments of Bank operate in coordination pursuant to the specified policies and strategies about risk management process determined by the Board. The Board of Directors takes an important part in the process of risk management by following policies and strategies on consolidated and unconsolidated basis, setting up limit systems and procedures with the Bank. Basically being exposed to credit, market, liquidity and operational risks as well as strategic and reputation risks, the Bank determines risk policies and implementation methods and risk limits approved by the Board of Directors for the risks exposed that can be digitized. The said limits are monitored and reported by the units within the internal systems and the related organs of the Bank and it is ensured that the risks remain within determined limits. The Presidency of Risk Management which is organized within the framework of risk management regulations carries out the activities of the measurement, monitoring, controlling and reporting of risks. Taking into account the activity profile and future growth expectations, financial status of the bank is calculated by the amount of capital needed to accomplish strategic objectives, stress tests and scenario analyses performed on a static and dynamic basis. Having regard to the conjunctural factors affecting the market in which the bank operates today and will operate in the future, stress tests and scenario analysis conducted on the financial structure of the Bank are taken into account along with other financial indicators and thanks to the capital planning conducted in this context, coordination was established between the bank processes. The ultimate target of the Bank’s Risk Management System is to allocate capital in compliance with the risks exposed by our functional activities (economic capital) and to maximize capital return adjusted for risk, thus increasing the added value created. Aiming to ensure capital allocation compatible with the risks of its functional operations and increase the capital return set according to these risks to the maximum level, the Bank evaluates risks by classifying them as market risk, liquidity risk, credit risk, operational risk and other risks. The risks to which the Bank is exposed or may be exposed in the future are determined and definitions of these risks are made. The identified risks are measured and prioritized to the extent possible. Taking into account the risks stemming from the Bank’s strategies and the potential impact of the strategy on the risk profile, it is ensured that all significant risks are included in the risk appetite. Bank strategies are associated with risk profile and risk appetite. If the risk profile is expected to change in the future, this change is considered together with the level of impact on capital. In the creation of risk profile risk type is analyzed on the basis of sector and/or geographical location. Risk tolerance of the bank is the maximum amount of calculated risk that may be accepted according to the Bank’s mission and vision. In other words, it is the foreseen amount of risk to be exposed before deciding on the necessity of taking any precautions. In this aspect, risk tolerance is the level of risk that the Bank deems acceptable in view of the diversity of services offered. The Bank’s risk appetite refers to the amount of risk that the Bank accepts to take in order to achieve strategic goals, it also includes reasonable variability in targets. The “Risk Appetite Policy,” approved by the Board of Directors and updated annually, determines the risk levels that the bank may take to implement its strategies and achieve its objectives. 92 ALBARAKA TÜRK ANNUAL REPORT 2018 Credit Risk Credit risk is defined as the probability of losses to the Bank due to customers failing to partially or completely pay their commitments to the Bank in a timely manner, in violation of the provisions of their credit contracts. This risk also contains any losses in the market value due to any deterioration in the financial position of the customer. The definition of credit risk includes not just the portfolios within the balance sheet, but also those kept off balance sheet. The authority to approve credits belongs to the Board of Directors of the Bank. The Board of Directors has transferred some of its authority in approving credit lines to the Credit Committee and General Management within the framework of the procedures and principles determined by the legal provisions. The General Management exercises that authority to extend credits by means of the credit departments and Bank branches. At our Bank, credit allocations are realized within those limits that are determined on the basis of each debtor and group of debtors. The system prevents the customers from exceeding the credit risk limit. The Bank pays particular attention to prevent sectoral concentration that may adversely affect the credit portfolio. Utmost care is given to the prevention of risks concentrating on a small number of customers. Credit risks are constantly monitored and reported by the internal systems units and risk management bodies. In this way, it is ensured that the credit risk complies with the “Regulation on Credit Policies and Implementation Procedures.”
  92. Market Risk Market risk of the Bank refers to the probability of loss that may be incurred due to the foreign currency risk , stock position risk, commodity risk and profit rate risk. Within the context of market risk, the Bank calculates the foreign currency position risk and the security risk, as well as specific risks associated with market risk, by using the standard approach and reports it to the authorities accordingly on a regular basis. Additionally, for testing purposes, foreign currency position risk of our Bank is measured by various internal models. With back testing applications, deviations between actual values and daily VaR values, predicted by internal models, are observed in order to control accuracy and performance of these models. Potential strength of portfolio against unexpected risks is measured with stress tests including stress scenarios. The Bank continuously monitors whether the market risk is in compliance with the limits set by the legislation. Exchange rate risk is also subject to review and supervision by the Asset/ Liability Committee. The foreign exchange rate strategy of the Bank is to keep the exchange rate risk in balance and not to give short positions and open an excessive amount of position. Liquidity Risk The Bank’s liquidity risk consists of funding liquidity risk and market liquidity risk. The funding liquidity risk refers to the likelihood of loss occurring in cases where it is not possible to adequately meet the entirety of the bank’s foreseeable and unforeseen cash flow requirements without affecting the daily banking activities or the financial structure of the bank. The market liquidity risk is the situation whereby, as a result of any imbalances in the cash flows, there is a potential for not being able to meet the Participation Funds which have matured or other due liabilities in a timely manner due to shortage of liquid funds. Liquidity risk could be caused by such factors as maturity mismatch, deterioration in the quality of assets, unexpected funding outflows, erosion in profitability levels and economic crisis. In order to manage liquidity risk, the Bank monitors the cash flows on a daily basis and takes preventive and improving measures so that commitments are met duly in time. The Liquidity risk is also evaluated by ALCO on a weekly basis. The Bank applies a policy whereby liquid assets are kept in sufficient volumes and qualities in consideration of the minimum liquidity coverage ratios determined by the related regulations and the liquidity experiences of the past in order to meet any liquidity requirement that could arise with unexpected volatilities in the markets. Operational Risk Operational risk is defined as the risk of loss due to insufficient or unsuccessful internal processes, people, and systems or loss due to external effects. Whereas legal risk and compliance risk are included in this risk group, reputation risk and strategical risk are excluded. Operational risk is a type of risk inherent in all activities of the Bank. It could arise from errors of the staff or the system, from such transactions as may have been made based on insufficient or incorrect legal information or documents, due to impediments in the flow of information between the divisions in the organizational structure of the Bank, due to uncertainties in the definition of limits of authority or from structural and/or operational changes, natural disasters, terror and fraud, etc. The Bank classifies operational risk into five groups according to their sources: staff risk, technological risk, organizational risk, legal and compliance risk and external risk. The Bank also takes required preventive measures to maintain operational risks at acceptable levels. Other Risks Other risks to which the Bank may be exposed consist of strategic risk, reputation risk, counterparty credit risk, country risk and concentration risk. With regard to the strategic risk, the Bank aims to make rational decisions and adapt itself according to developments by closely following the economic agenda, technological, financial and social developments, as well as the legal regulations and banking sector in Turkey and abroad. Any factor that leads to the possibility of damaging the bank as a result of the negative thoughts about the bank of different or related parties, such as the current and potential clients, partners, competitors and supervisory authorities or the negative developments such as decrease of trust in the bank or damage to the bank’s reputation due to failure to comply with the applicable legal regulations are considered as a reputation risk. For the risk of reputation to be avoided and/or controlled by the Bank’s Risk Management System, a proactive communication mechanism that gives the customers priority is established any time a condition that could detriment the Bank’s reputation or image is detected. Preparations are made for the worst-case scenarios in advance. In the evaluation of the reputation risk, the relationship, level and impact of operational risks to the reputation risk are also taken into account. Preparations are made for the worst-case scenarios in advance. In the evaluation of the reputation risk, the relationship, level and impact of operational risks to the reputation risk are also taken into account. Counterparty credit risk refers to the possibility that the counterparty of a transaction, which brings liabilities to both parties, defaults before making the final payment in the cash flow. The Bank manages counterparty credit risk according to the volume, nature and complexity of the activities, in due consideration of best practices and in line with the applicable legislation. Country risk refers to the possible losses that the Bank may incur when the borrowers in a country cannot fulfill or avoid fulfilling their overseas obligations due to the uncertainty of economic, social and political conditions in this country. In due consideration of the legal limitations, market conditions and customer satisfaction, the Bank establishes its commercial connections with foreign financial institutions and countries in view of feasibility studies focusing on the economic conditions of each country. Concentration risk is defined as the possibility that a single risk amount or risk amounts of certain types may lead to high losses, which could threaten the bank’s functioning and its ability to perform its core activities. Policies concerning concentration risk are classified as sectoral concentration, concentration on the basis of collaterals, concentration on the basis of market risk type, concentration on the basis of loss type, and concentration arising from creditors.

ASSESSMENT OF INTERNAL CONTROL , INTERNAL AUDIT AND RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS BY THE AUDIT COMMITTEE In order to monitor and control risks faced, Albaraka Türk has formed a sufficient and efficient structure of internal systems, consistent with the scope and structure of activities, accommodating the dynamic environment, covering all the branches and divisions, within the framework of the methods and principles as highlighted in the related regulations. The units within the scope of the Internal Systems are the Presidency of Inspection, Presidency of Internal Control, Presidency of Risk Management and Presidency of Legislation and Compliance. The units in question operate under the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors through the Internal Systems Senior Manager.

Efforts are made to provide assurances to senior management not only in that the Bank’s activities are being carried out in line with the requirements of current laws and regulations as well as with the Bank’s own strategies, policies, principles, and objectives but also that the Bank’s internal control and risk management systems are effective and adequate. Presidency of Inspection functions with an understanding of risk-focused audit. Technological resources are made use of in the performance of auditing functions. Operations are checked to ensure that they are in compliance with both internal and external regulations. Presidency of Internal Control conducts risk-focused and interactive controls at general management units and branches towards a regular, effective and safe undertaking of the bank’s activities. The findings, opinions and suggestions at the end of internal control activities are initially shared and evaluated.

All these tasks are monitored and evaluated closely and constantly by those members of the staff that carry out the activities as well as the internal controllers. Presidency of Risk Management carries out the activities of definition, measurement, observation, control and reporting of the risks to which the Bank is exposed. In the monitoring and evaluation of credit risk, which is the most important risk type among the functional activities, the riskiness and composition of the credit portfolio are taken into account. Additionally, risk measurement models are used for testing purposes in order to calculate market risk with other than standard method which is currently used for measuring and reporting market risk. With back testing applications, deviations between actual values and daily VaR values, predicted by risk measurement models, are determined for the purpose of testing accuracy and performance of these models. Potential strength of portfolio against to unexpected risks is measured with stress tests including stress scenarios. Whether the market risk of the Bank is in conformity with legal regulations and with the limits determined is constantly monitored. Risks other than the credit and market risk to which the Bank is exposed, are prioritized and subjected to review and evaluation and constantly monitored to determine whether they are at an acceptable level or not.

  96. RESERVE POLICY Explanations on reserves for expected losses The bank carries out expected loss provisioning for amortized costs and fair value through other comprehensive income . According to the “The Regulation on Procedures and Principles for Classification of Loans and Provisions to be Set Aside” promulgated in the Official Gazette no.29750 dated 22 June 2016, as of 1 January 2018, the Bank has started to allocate provisions for losses in accordance with TFRS 9 provisions. Within this framework, as of 31 December 2017, the method for allocating provisions for losses under the relevant legislation of the BRSA were changed with the expected credit losses model following the implementation of TFRS 9. Provisions released in same year are registered as a credit under the “Provision Costs,” released portion of the previous period provisions are recognized under “Other Operating Income.” Expected credit impairment model is applied to other instruments registered in the comprehensive income statement on the basis of the amortized cost or the fair value (such as bank placements, loans and financial leasing receivables) and to the financial leasing receivables whose fair value impairment cannot be measured by profit/loss, contractual assets, credit commitments and financial guarantee agreements. The guiding principle of the expected credit impairment model is to reflect the overall picture of the increase or improvement of the credit risk in financial instruments. The amount of loss provision depends on the level of the increase in the credit risk from the first issue of the loan. The expected credit loss is an estimate of the expected losses from the loan during the life of a financial instrument, and the following points are considered to be important for measurement. »» A neutral amount weighted according to the likelihood determined by taking into account possible results, »» Reasonable and supported information based on estimation of past events, current conditions and future economic conditions that can be achieved without excessive cost and effort as of the reporting date. Significant Increase in Credit Risk (Stage 2) If there is a significant increase in the credit risk following the introduction of a financial asset in the financial statements, it is transferred to Stage 2. The provision for credit risk impairment is determined based on the lifetime expected credit loss provision of the related financial asset. The provisions for these financial assets are calculated by using two different approaches, the 12 months expected credit loss and the lifetime expected credit loss. Moreover, they were divided into 3 categories based on the increase in the credit risk from the introduction of the relevant financial asset into the financial statements: The Bank classifies financial assets under stage 2 by considering the following criteria. Parameters used in the calculation of expected loss provisions: The probability of default (PD): The term describes the likelihood of a default of a credit over a particular time horizon. In accordance with TFRS 9, the bank uses two different default probability values in the calculation of the expected credit loss: »» Probability of default within 12 months: Estimation of default probability within 12 months from the reporting date »» Lifetime probability of default: Estimation of the probability of default over the expected life of the financial instrument Loss Given Default (LGD): it refers to the amount of economic loss when a borrower defaults on a loan It is expressed as ratio. Default Amount (DA): The amount of the outstanding cash loans as of the reporting date. In non-cash credits and commitments, it refers to the amount calculated using the deposit to loan ratio. Deposit to loan ratio corresponds to the deposit to loan ratio used in the adaptation of the possible risk increased between current date and date of default. 12 Months Expected Loss Provision (Stage 1) Financial assets that do not demonstrate a significant increase in credit risk at their introduction in the financial accounts or later. Their maturity does not exceed 30 days. For these assets, provision for credit risk impairment is recognized as the amount of provision for 12 months expected credit loss. It applies to all assets, unless there is significant deterioration in credit quality. 12 months expected credit loss values are included in the lifetime expected credit loss calculation (within 12 months following the reporting date or shorter if the life of a financial instrument in less than 12 months). »» Loans over 30 days but not exceeding 90 days, »» Data received from the early warning system and the assessment of the bank in such a case, »» Conclusion of the bank management that there is a significant increase in the credit risk after the comparison with the default risk at the beginning performed in order to determine whether the client’s default risk has increased significantly since the initial recognition of the loan, »» In loans whose reimbursement solely depends on collateral, loans the net realizable collateral value of which is lower than receivable amount. Default (Stage 3/Special Provision) According to the internal procedures of the Bank, if the following conditions are present, the relevant financial asset is considered to be in default: »» Loans that are not paid for 90 days from the last installment date (in this case, the client is monitored on the 91st day) »» Loans reconstructed and classified as living receivables not paid for 30 days within the monitoring period of one year (In such case, the client is started to be monitored on the 31st day) »» Loans reconstructed and classified as living receivables and reconstructed at least for the second time within the monitoring period of one year »» Client loans that are partially removed from assets or acquired as collateral in order to offset the loan debts or paid in goods and services FINANCIAL INFORMATION 97

  99. (Convenience Translation of the Independent Auditor’s Report Originally Prepared and Issued in Turkish to English (See Note XXIV in Section Three) INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT To the General Assembly of Albaraka Türk Katılım Bankası A.Ş. A) Audit of Unconsolidated Financial Statements Opinion We have audited the accompanying unconsolidated financial statements of Albaraka Türk Katılım Bankası A.Ş. (“the Bank”) which comprise the unconsolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2018 and the unconsolidated statement of profit or loss, unconsolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, unconsolidated statement of changes in shareholders’ equity, unconsolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes, comprising significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. In our opinion, the accompanying unconsolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the unconsolidated financial position of the Bank as at 31 December 2018, and its unconsolidated financial performance and its unconsolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the “Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency (“BRSA”) Accounting and Reporting Legislation” which includes the “Regulation on Accounting Applications for Banks and Safeguarding of Documents” published in the Official Gazette No. 26333 dated 1 November 2006, and other regulations on accounting records of banks published by Banking Regulation and Supervision Board and circulars and interpretations published by BRSA and requirements of Turkish Accounting Standards (“TFRS”) for the matters not regulated by the aforementioned legislations. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with the “Regulation on Independent Audit of the Banks” (“BRSA Auditing Regulation”) published in the Official Gazette No.29314 dated 2 April 2015 by BRSA and Independent Standards on Auditing which is a component of the Turkish Auditing Standards (“TSA”s) published by the Public Oversight Accounting and Auditing Standards Authority (“POA”). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Unconsolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Bank in accordance with the POA’s Code of Ethics for Independent Auditors (“Code of Ethics”) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Turkey, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Key Audit Matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the unconsolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the unconsolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Impairment of loans measured at amortised cost The details of accounting policies and significant estimates and assumptions for impairment of loans measured at amortised cost are presented in Section III, No: VII of the unconsolidated financial statements. 100 ALBARAKA TÜRK ANNUAL REPORT 2018
  100. Key audit matter As of 31 December 2018 , loans measured at amortised cost comprise 62% of the Bank’s total assets. The Bank recognizes its loans in accordance with the Regulation on the Procedures and Principles for Classification of Loans by Banks and Provisions to be set aside (the “Regulation”) published on the Official Gazette No. 29750 dated 22 June 2016 and TFRS 9 Financial Instruments standard (“Standard”). As of 1 January 2018, due to the adoption of the Regulation and Standard, in determining the impairment of loans it is started to apply “expected credit loss model” rather than the “incurred loss model”. The new model contains significant assumptions and estimates. The significant assumptions and estimates of the Bank's management are as follows: - Significant increase in credit risk; - Incorporating the forward looking macroeconomic information in calculation of credit risk; and - Design and implementation of expected credit loss model. The determination of the impairment of loans measured at amortised cost depends on (i) the credit default status,(ii) the model based on the change in the credit risk at the first recognition date and (iii) the classification of the loans measured at amortised cost according to the model. Establishing an accurate classification is a significant process as the calculation of expected credit loss varies to the staging of the financial assets. The Bank calculates expected credit losses on both an individual and a collective basis. Individual provisions consider the estimated future performance of the business and the fair value of the collateral provided for credit transactions. The collective basis expected credit loss calculation is based on complex processes which are modelled by using current and past data sets and expectations and the forward looking expectations are reflected by macroeconomic models. Impairment on loans measured at amortised cost was considered to be a key audit matter, due to the significance of the estimates, assumptions, the level of judgements and its complex structure as explained above. How the matter is addressed in our audit Our procedures for testing the impairment of loans included below: • We tested the design and operating effectiveness of the controls on lending, collateralization, collection, follow-up, classification and impairment procedures are tested with the involvement of information risk management specialists. • We evaluated the Bank’s business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and we tested the appropriateness of the loan agreements with the model by selecting samples. • We evaluated the adequacy of the subjective and objective criteria that is defined in the Bank’s impairment accounting policy compared with the Regulation and Standard. • We evaluated the Banks’s business model and methodology and the evaluation of the calculations were carried out with the control testing and detailed analysis by the involvement of specialist. • We performed loan reviews for selected loan samples which include a detailed examination of loan files and related information and testing their classification. In this context, the current status of the loan customer has been evaluated by including prospective information and macroeconomic variables. • We evaluated the adequacy of the expected credit loss calculations by selecting sample for the loans which are assessed on individual basis. • We tested the accuracy and completeness of the data in the calculation models for the loans which are assessed on collective basis. The expected credit loss calculation was tested through recalculation. The models used for the calculation of the risk parameters were examined and the risk parameters for the selected sample portfolios were recalculated. • We assessed the macroeconomic models which are used to reflect forward looking expectations and tested the effect of the risk parameters by recalculation method. • We evaluated the qualitative assessments which are used in determining the significant increase in credit risk. Additionally, we also evaluated the adequacy of the unconsolidated financial statements’ disclosures related to impairment provisions. Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Unconsolidated Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these unconsolidated financial statements in accordance with the “BRSA Accounting and Reporting Legislation”, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of unconsolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the unconsolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Bank’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Bank or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Bank’s financial reporting process. FINANCIAL INFORMATION 101
  101. Auditors ’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Unconsolidated Financial Statements Responsibilities of auditors in an audit are as follows: Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the unconsolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with TSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these unconsolidated financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with TSAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also: • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the unconsolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Bank’s internal control. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. • Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Bank’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the unconsolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Bank to cease to continue as a going concern. • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the unconsolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the unconsolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the unconsolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. B) Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements 1) Pursuant to the fourth paragraph of Article 402 of the Turkish Commercial Code (“TCC”) No. 6102; no significant matter has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Bank’s bookkeeping activities for the period 1 January - 31 December 2018 are not in compliance with TCC and provisions of the Bank’s articles of association in relation to financial reporting. 2) Pursuant to the fourth paragraph of Article 402 of the TCC; the Board of Directors provided us the necessary explanations and required documents in connection with the audit. Additional paragraph for convenience translation to English: The accounting principles summarized in Note I Section Three, differ from the accounting principles generally accepted in countries in which the accompanying unconsolidated financial statements are to be distributed and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). Accordingly, the accompanying unconsolidated financial statements are not intended to present the financial position and results of operations in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in such countries of users of the unconsolidated financial statements and IFRS.

  125. ALBARAKA T ÜRK KATILIM BANKASI A.Ş. NOTES RELATED TO UNCONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2018 (Thousand of Turkish Lira (TL) unless otherwise stated) SECTION THREE Accounting Policies I.

In accordance with the transition rules of TFRS 9, the prior period financial statements and notes are not restated. Accounting policies and valuation principles used for the year 2018 and 2017 periods are separately presented in the footnotes. The accounting policies for the year 2017, impacts of transition to TFRS 9 and its adoption are disclosed in Section three notes XXIII. The Bank has started to apply TFRS 9 Financial Instruments (“TFRS 9”) published by Public Oversight Accounting and Auditing Standards Authority (“POA”) in the accompanying consolidated financial statements starting from January 1, 2018 for the first times based on the regulation published in the Official Gazette no. 29750 dated 22 June 2016 in connection with procedures and principals regarding classification of loans and allowances allocated for such loans which came into force starting from January 1, 2018. TFRS 15 - Revenue from Customer Contracts and other enacted TAS/TFRS amendments do not have significant impact on Bank’s accounting policies, financial position and performance. The Bank’s adoption process continues regarding TFRS 16 Leases (“TFRS 16”) which will be in effect starting from January 1, 2019. Forms of financial statements for the periods beginning from January 1, 2018 are introduced in Communiqué on amendments in Communiqué on Financial Statements and Related Disclosures and Footnotes to be Announced to Public by Banks published in official gazette dated September 20, 2017 dated 30186.

Such estimates and assumptions include the fair value calculations of the financial instruments, provisions for the lawsuits, deferred tax assets and liabilities, impairment of the financial assets and revaluation of immovables and reviewed periodically and when adjustments are considered necessary they are reflected in the financial statements. The assumptions and estimates used are explained in the related notes. 126 ALBARAKA TÜRK ANNUAL REPORT 2018
  126. ALBARAKA T ÜRK KATILIM BANKASI A.Ş. NOTES RELATED TO UNCONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2018 (Thousand of Turkish Lira (TL) unless otherwise stated) c. Restatement of the financial statements according to the current purchasing power of money: Accompanying financial statements are subjected to TAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies until December 31, 2004 and with regard to this the BRSA explained with its decision numbered 1623 and dated April 21, 2005 and its circular dated April 28, 2005 that the conditions for applying inflation accounting was no longer applicable and accordingly inflation accounting has not been applied in the accompanying financial statements starting from January 1, 2005. II. Explanations on strategy of using financial instruments and foreign currency transactions: The Bank creates its strategies on financial instruments considering its sources of financing. The main financing sources consist of current and profit sharing accounts. Other than current and profit sharing accounts, the Bank’s most important funding sources are its equity and borrowings from foreign financial institutions. The Bank sustains its liquidity to cover matured liabilities by holding adequate level of cash and cash equivalents. The Bank’s transactions in foreign currencies are accounted in accordance with the TAS 21 “Accounting Standard on the Effect of Changes in Foreign Currency Rates”, and converted with the exchange rate ruling at the transaction date into Turkish Lira. Foreign currency assets and liabilities have been translated into Turkish Lira at the rate of exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet date announced by the Bank. Gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions and translation of foreign currency assets and liabilities are reflected in the income statement as foreign exchange gain or loss. If the loans recognized in the foreign currency accounts are switched to non performing, they are continued to be recognized in the foreign currency accounts and evaluated with the current exchange rates. The foreign currency exchange differences resulting from the translation of debt securities issued and monetary financial assets into Turkish Lira are included in the income statement. The balance sheet items of the foreign branch of the Bank included in the financial statements are translated into Turkish lira at the exchange rate ruling at the balance sheet date announced by the Bank. Income statement items are translated into Turkish lira by exchange rate ruling at the transaction date and all exchange differences arising from translation are accounted in other capital reserves under equity according to TAS 21. Precious metals (gold and silver) accounted under assets and liabilities which do not have fixed maturity are translated into Turkish lira by using the buying rate at the balance sheet date announced by the Bank and resulting evaluation differences are reflected as foreign exchange gain or loss. There are no foreign currency differences capitalized by the Bank. III. Explanations on forward, option contracts and derivative instruments: The derivative financial instruments of the Bank, generally, consist of forward foreign currency, forward security and swap agreements. Derivative transactions portfolio may change as per market conditions in related terms. The Bank records the spot foreign currency transactions in asset purchase and sale commitments. TFRS 9 permits to defer application of TFRS 9 hedge accounting and continue to apply hedge accounting in accordance with TAS 39 as a policy choice. Accordingly, the Bank continues to apply hedge accounting in accordance with TAS 39 in this context. The liabilities and receivables arising from the derivative transactions are recorded as off-balance sheet items at their contract values. The derivative transactions are initially recognized at fair value and presented in the financial statements at fair values recalculated in the subsequent reporting periods. FINANCIAL INFORMATION 127
  127. ALBARAKA T ÜRK KATILIM BANKASI A.Ş. NOTES RELATED TO UNCONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2018 (Thousand of Turkish Lira (TL) unless otherwise stated) IV. Explanations on profit share income and expenses: Profit share income Profit share income is accounted in accordance with the internal rate of return method, which is equal to the net present value of the future cash flows of the financial asset determined in TFRS 9 and reflected to the accrual basis. Revenues regarding the profit and loss sharing investment projects are recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods are transferred to the buyer, the Bank retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold, the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, inflow of economic benefits associated with the transaction is probable and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. The Bank has begun to calculate accrual for non-performing loans as of January 1, 2018. Net book value of non-performing receivables (Gross Book Value - Expected Loss Provision) is accounted at the gross book value of accruals with effective profit share rate. Profit share expense The Bank records profit share expenses on accrual basis. The profit share expense accrual calculated in accordance with the unit value method on profit sharing accounts has been included under the account “Funds Collected” in the balance sheet. V. Explanations on fees, commission income and expenses: Other than commission income and fees and expenses for various banking services that are reflected as income/expense when collected/paid, fees and commission income and expenses are reflected to income statement depending on the term of the related transaction. In accordance with provisions of TAS and TFRS, the portion of the commission and fees which are related to the reporting period and collected in advance for cash and non-cash loans granted is reflected to the income statement by using the internal rate of return method and straight line methods, respectively over the commission period of the related loan, respectively. Fees and commissions collected in advance which are related to the future periods are recorded under the account “Unearned Revenues” and included in “Other Liabilities” in the balance sheet. The commission received from cash loans corresponding to the current period is presented in “Profit Share from Loans” in the income statement. In the correspondence of BRSA dated June 8, 2012 and numbered B.02.1.BDK.0.13.00.0-91.11-12061, it has been stated that there is no objection to recording the commissions received from long term non-cash loans collected in quarterly periods or periods less than a quarter directly as income. Consequently, the Bank records the related cash and non-cash loans commissions directly as income.   VI. Explanations on financial assets: Financial assets are recognized or derecognized according to TFRS 9 section three :”Recognition and Derecognition”. Financial assets are measured at fair value at initial recognition in the financial statements. During the initial recognition of financial assets other than “Financial Assets at Fair Value through Profit or Loss”, transaction costs are added to fair value or deducted from fair value. They are included in the balance sheet of the Bank, if the Bank is a legal party to these instruments. On which category a financial instruments shall be classified at initial recognition depends on both the business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. Assessment of business model: As per TFRS 9, the Bank’s business model is determined at a level that reflects how groups of financial assets are managed together to achieve a particular business objective. The Bank’s business model does not depend on management’s intentions for an individual instrument. Accordingly, this condition is not a classification approach on the basis of a financial instrument but an evaluation by combining financial assets. 128 ALBARAKA TÜRK ANNUAL REPORT 2018

NOTES RELATED TO UNCONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2018 (Thousand of Turkish Lira (TL) unless otherwise stated) The Bank’s business models are divided into three categories. These categories are defined below: A business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows: A business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows over the life of the instrument. The financial assets that are held within the scope of this business model are measured at amortised cost when the contractual terms of the financial asset meet the cash flow test that includes profit share payments arising only from principal and principal amount at specific dates. A business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets: The Bank may hold financial assets in a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets. Fair value changes of the financial assets that are held within the scope of this business model are accounted under other comprehensive income when the contractual terms of the financial asset meet the cash flows test that includes profit share payments arising only from principal and principal amount at specific dates. Other business models: Financial assets are measured at fair value through profit or loss if they are not held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows or within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets. Contractual cash flows that contains solely payments of principal and profit share: As per TFRS 9, the Bank classifies a financial asset on the basis of its contractual cash flow characteristics if the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows or within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets. Financial assets at the fair value through profit or loss: Financial assets at fair value through profit/loss are financial assets other than the ones that are managed with business model that aims to hold to collect contractual cash flows or business model that aims to collect both the contractual cash flows and cash flows arising from the sale of the assets; and if the contractual terms of the financial asset do not lead to cash flows representing solely payments of principal and profit share at certain date; that are either acquired for generating a profit from short-term fluctuations in prices or are financial assets included in a portfolio aiming to shortterm profit making. Financial assets at the fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value and remeasured at their fair value after recognition. All gains and losses arising from these valuations are reflected in the income statement.   Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income In addition to financial assets within a business model that aims to hold to collect contractual cash flows and aims to hold to sell, financial asset with contractual terms that lead to cash flows are solely payments of principal and profit share at certain dates, they are classified as fair value through other comprehensive income. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognized by adding transaction cost to acquisition cost reflecting the fair value of the financial asset. After the recognition, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are remeasured at fair value. Profit share income calculated with effective profit share rate method arising from financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income and dividend income from equity securities are recorded to income statement. “Unrealized gains and losses” arising from the difference between the amortized cost and the fair value of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are not reflected in the income statement of the period until the acquisition of the value corresponding to the asset, sale of the asset, the disposal of the asset, and impairment of the asset and they are accounted under the “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income or Expense to be Reclassified through Profit or Loss” under shareholders’ equity. The accumulated fair value differences that are reflected in shareholders’ equity are reflected in the income statement when the stated securities are collected or disposed. FINANCIAL INFORMATION 129
  129. ALBARAKA T ÜRK KATILIM BANKASI A.Ş. NOTES RELATED TO UNCONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2018 (Thousand of Turkish Lira (TL) unless otherwise stated) Equity securities, which are classified as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are accounted for at fair value when they are traded in an organized market and/or the fair value can be reliably measured and these financial assets are not subject to expected losses recognization. Financial assets measured at amortized cost: Financial assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows within the scope of business model where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and profit share on certain dates are classified as financial assets measured at amortized cost. Financial assets measured at amortized cost are initially recognized at acquisition cost including the transaction costs which reflect the fair value of those instruments and subsequently recognized at amortized cost by using effective internal rate of return method. Profit share income obtained from financial assets measured at amortized cost is accounted in income statement. Loans: Loans are non derivative financial assets that have fixed or determinable payments terms and are not quoted in an active market. Stated loans are initially recognized at acquisition cost plus transaction costs presenting their fair value and thereafter measured at amortized cost using the “Effective Profit Share Rate (internal rate of return) Method”. The Bank’s all loans are recorded under the “Measured at Amortized Cost” account. Granted cash loans are accounted by using the relevant accounts in accordance with the principles set out in the “Uniform Chart of Accounts to be Applied by the Participation Banks” and published in the Official Gazette dated September 20, 2017 and numbered 30186. VII. Explanations on expected credit losses: The Bank allocates impairment for expected loss on financial assets measured at amortized cost and measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. As of January 1, 2018, the Bank recognizes provisions for impairment in accordance with TFRS 9 requirements according to the “Regulation on the Procedures and Principles for Classification of Loans by Banks and Provisions to be set aside” published in the Official Gazette dated 22 June 2016 numbered 29750. In this framework, as of 31 December 2017, method of provisions for impairment as set out in accordance with the related legislation of BRSA is changed by applying the expected credit loss model under TFRS 9. The provisions written back are credited to “provision expenses”, and if such write backs are arising from previous year they are accounted under “other operating income”. The expected credit loss model includes instruments that are recorded at amortized cost or at fair value in other comprehensive income tables (such as bank deposits, loans and finance lease receivables) and, in addition, financial lease receivables that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss, credit commitments and financial guarantee contracts. The guiding principle of the expected credit loss model is to reflect the increase in credit risk of financial instruments or the general view of the recovery. The amount of allowance for the loss depends on the extent of the increase in credit risk since the initial issuance of the loan. Expected credit loss is an estimate of the expected credit losses over the life of a financial instrument also the following aspects are important for the measurement. - Probability-weighted and neutral amount determined by taking into account possible outcomes, - Reasonable and supportable information on past events, current conditions and forecast of future economic conditions, at the time of reporting, without excessive cost and effort. Provisions for these financial assets are calculated using two different approaches: 12-month expected loss and expected lifetime loss. These financial assets are divided into three categories depending on the increase in credit risk observed since their initial recognition: 130 ALBARAKA TÜRK ANNUAL REPORT 2018
  130. ALBARAKA T ÜRK KATILIM BANKASI A.Ş. NOTES RELATED TO UNCONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2018 (Thousand of Turkish Lira (TL) unless otherwise stated) Parameters used when calculating expected credit losses: Probability of Default (PD): PD refers to the likelihood that a loan will default within a specified time horizon. Based on TFRS 9, the Bank uses two different PDs in order to calculate expected credit losses: - 12-Months PD: As the estimated probability of default occurring within the next 12 months following the reporting date. - Lifetime PD: As the estimated probability of default occurring over the remaining life of the financial instrument. Loss Given Default (LGD): If a loan default occurs, it represents the economic loss incurred on the loan. It is expressed as a percentage. Exposure at Default (EAD): For cash loans, it corresponds to the amount of loan granted as of the reporting date. For non-cash loans and commitments, it is the value calculated through using credit conversion factors. Credit conversion rate corresponds to the factor which adjust the potential increase of the exposure between the current date and the default date. 12 Month Expected Credit Losses (Stage 1) For the financial assets at initial recognition or that do not have a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition and their maturities does not exceed 30 days. Impairment for credit risk is recorded in the amount of 12-month expected credit losses. It is valid for all assets unless there is a significant deterioration in the quality of the loan. The expected 12 month loss values (within 12 months after the reporting date or within a shorter period if the life of a financial instrument is shorter than 12 months) are part of the estimation of loss of life expectancy. Significant Increase in Credit Risk (Stage 2) In the event of a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the financial asset is transferred to Stage 2. Impairment for credit risk is determined on the basis of the instrument’s lifetime expected credit losses. The Bank classifies financial assets as Level 2 by considering the following criteria: -Loans that pass 30 days but not exceed 90 days -The data obtained from the early warning system and the evaluation that the bank will make in this case -The Bank management’s conclusion that there is significant increase in credit risk. At this point, the Bank compares probability of default of the loan in its origination with current status. -Loans for which the repayment amount is fully collateralized and the collateral falls below the net realizable value.  Default (Stage 3/Specific Provision): If the following conditions exist in accordance with the Bank’s internal procedures, the related financial asset is evaluated as default: -Loans past 90 days from the last installment date (In this case, default status starts on the 91st day.) -Loans classified as “performing loans” after restructuring and 30 days overdue in one year observation period (In this case, default status starts on the 31st day) -Loans classified as “performing loans” after restructuring and restructuring at least one more time in one year observation period. VIII. Explanations on offsetting of financial instruments: Financial instruments are offset when the Bank has a legally enforceable right to net off the recognized amounts, and there is an intention to settle on net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The sukuk investments issued by the Bank which are repurchased has been offset in financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and subordinated loan accounts. FINANCIAL INFORMATION 131
  131. ALBARAKA T ÜRK KATILIM BANKASI A.Ş. NOTES RELATED TO UNCONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2018 (Thousand of Turkish Lira (TL) unless otherwise stated) IX. Explanations on sale and repurchase agreements and lending of securities: Securities subject to repurchase agreement are classified as “Financial Assets Measured at Fair Value through Profit/Loss”, “Financial Assets Measured at Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income” and “Financial Assets Measured at Amortised Cost” according to the investment purposes of the Bank and measured according to the portfolio to which they belong. Funds obtained from the related agreements are accounted under “Borrowings from Money Markets” in liabilities and the difference between the sale and repurchase price is accrued over the life of the agreements using the internal rate of return method. Profit share expense on such transactions is recorded under “Profit Share Expense on Money Market Borrowings” in the income statement. X. Explanations on assets held for sale and discontinued operations and liabilities related to these assets: Assets held for sale (or disposal group) are measured at the lower of the carrying amount of assets and fair value less any cost to be incurred for disposal. In order to classify an asset as held for sale, the possibility of sale should be highly probable and the asset (or disposal group) should be available for immediate sale in its present condition. Highly saleable condition requires a plan designed by an appropriate level of management regarding the sale of the asset to be disposed of together with an active program for the determination of buyers as well as for the completion of the plan. Also the asset shall be actively marketed in conformity with its fair value. In addition, the sale is expected to be recognized as a completed sale within one year after the classification date and the necessary transactions and procedures to complete the plan should demonstrate the fact that there is remote possibility of making any significant changes in the plan or cancellation of the plan. The Bank has assets that are possessed due to receivables and debtors’ obligations to the Bank and classified as assets held for sale. In the case that the Bank has not disposed of such assets within a year of receipt or failed to produce a solid plan for sale of the assets, they are reclassified as fixed assets and are amortized. The Bank transfers such assets from assets held for sale and discounted operations to tangible assets. A discontinued operation is a part of the Bank’s business which has been disposed of or classified as held for sale. The operating results of the discontinued operations are disclosed separately in the income statement. The Bank has not any discontinued operations.   XI. Explanations on goodwill and other intangible assets: Goodwill and other intangible assets are recorded at cost in accordance with TAS 38 “Turkish Accounting Standards for Intangible Assets”. As of the balance sheet date, there is no goodwill in the financial statements of the Bank. The Bank’s intangible assets consist of softwares and intangible rights. The costs of the intangible assets purchased before December 31, 2004 have been restated from the purchasing dates to December 31, 2004, the date the hyperinflationary period is considered to be ended. Intangible assets purchased after this date have been recorded at their historical costs. Intangible assets are amortised by the Bank over their estimated economic useful lives in equal amounts on a straight-line basis. Useful lives of the Bank’s software have been determined as 3 to 4 years and other intangible assets’ useful lives have been determined as 15 years. If there is objective evidence of impairment, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated in accordance with the TAS 36 “Turkish Accounting Standard for Impairment of Assets” and if the recoverable amount is less than the carrying value of the related asset, a provision for impairment loss is provided. XII. Explanations on tangible assets: The cost of the tangible assets purchased before December 31, 2004 have been restated by inflationary index from the purchasing dates to December 31, 2004, the date the hyperinflationary period is considered to be ended. The tangible assets purchased after this date are recorded at their historical costs. Tangible assets are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and provision for impairment, if any in compliance with the TAS 16 “Turkish Accounting Standards for Tangible Assets” in the financial statements. As of March 31, 2009, the Bank has made a change in accounting policy and adopted revaluation model for real estates in accordance TAS 16 and reflected the results of appraisal reports prepared by an authorized real estate appraisal firm to the financial statements. As of December 31, 2018, the Bank has revalued its immovables and reflected the results of appraisal reports prepared by an independent real estate appraiser firm using comparison of similar items method to the financial statements. The revaluation fund mentioned cannot be distributed as dividend to shareholders. Current period depreciation charge relating to the revaluation has been transferred to retained earnings from revaluation fund reserve. There are no restrictions such as pledges, mortgages or any other restriction on tangible assets. There are no changes in the accounting estimates which are expected to have an impact in the current or subsequent periods. 132 ALBARAKA TÜRK ANNUAL REPORT 2018
  132. ALBARAKA T ÜRK KATILIM BANKASI A.Ş. NOTES RELATED TO UNCONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2018 (Thousand of Turkish Lira (TL) unless otherwise stated) Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis. Depreciation rates used are determined by considering the estimated economic useful life of the assets. The annual rates used are as follows: Depreciation Rate (%) Buildings 2 Motor vehicles 20 – 25 Furniture, fixture and office equipment 4 – 33 Safe-deposit boxes 2 – 20 Operational lease improvement costs (Leasehold improvements) Leasing period – 5 years The depreciation of an asset held for a period less than a full financial year is calculated as a proportion of the full year depreciation charge from the date of acquisition to the financial year end. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over their estimated economic useful lives in equal amounts. The estimated economic useful lives cannot exceed the leasing period. In cases where the leasing period is not certain, the useful life is determined as five years. After January 1, 2010 in cases where leasing period is more than five years, the useful life is determined as five years. If there is an indication for impairment, the Bank estimates the recoverable amount of the tangible asset in accordance with TAS 36 “Turkish Accounting Standard for Impairment of Assets” and if the recoverable amount is less than its carrying value, provides for an impairment loss.   Fixed assets which are carried at fair value in the financial statements are revalued by independent Capital Markets Board licensed firms in accordance with TFRS 13. Gain or loss resulting from disposals of the tangible assets is calculated as the difference between the net proceeds from the sale and the net book value of the related asset. The repair and maintenance costs of the tangible assets are capitalized, if the expenditure increases the economic life of the asset. Other repair and maintenance costs are expensed. XIII. Explanations on leasing transactions: Transactions as a lessee Leases where the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee are classified as finance leases and other leases are classified as operational leases. Assets acquired under finance lease contracts are recorded both as an asset and as a liability at the beginning date of the lease. The basis for the determination of the balances recorded in the balance sheet as asset and liability is the lower of fair value of the leased asset at the inception of the lease and the present value of the lease payments. Finance charges arising from lease contracts are expensed in the related periods taking into consideration the internal rate of return over the period of the lease. Assets acquired under finance lease contracts are depreciated over their useful lives and impairment provision is provided in case a decrease in recoverable amount has been determined. The prepaid lease payments made under operational leases are charged to income statement on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. Transactions as a lessor The Bank, as a participation bank, acts as a lessor in finance leasing transactions. The Bank presents finance leased assets as a receivable equal to the net investment in the lease. Financial income is based on a pattern reflecting a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment outstanding. FINANCIAL INFORMATION 133

Explanations on provisions and contingent liabilities: Provisions and contingent liabilities, excluding the general and specific provisions for impairment on loans, are accounted in accordance with TAS 37: “Turkish Accounting Standard for Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets”. Provisions are recognized 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. A provision for contingent liabilities arising from past events should be recognized in the same period of occurrence in accordance with the cut-off principle. A liability is recognized as a contingent liability where a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of more than one events not wholly within the control of the Bank; or a present obligation that arises from past events but it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; or the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability and disclosed in the footnotes.   XV. Explanations on liabilities regarding employee rights: i) Defined benefit plans: Provision for employee severance benefits has been accounted for in accordance with TAS 19 “Employee Benefits”. In accordance with the existing social legislation in Turkey, the Bank is required to make lump-sum termination indemnities including retirement and notice payments to each employee whose employment is terminated for reasons other than misconduct or due to resignation. The retirement pay is calculated for every working year within the Bank over salary for 30 days or the official ceiling amount per year of employment and the notice pay is calculated for the relevant notice period time as determined based on the number of years worked for the Bank. The Bank has reflected the retirement pay liability amount, which was calculated by an independent actuary, in the accompanying financial statements. According to TAS 19, The Bank recognizes all actuarial gains and losses immediately through other comprehensive income. As of December 31, 2018, there is an actuarial loss amounts to TL 21.548 before deferred tax calculation (December 31, 2017: TL 18.657 actuarial loss). Provision for the employees’ unused vacations has been booked in accordance with TAS 19 and reflected to the financial statements. There are no foundations, pension funds or similar associations of which the employees are members. ii) Defined contribution plans: The Bank pays defined contribution plans to publicly administered Social Security Funds for its employees. The Bank has not any further payment obligations other than this contribution share. The contributions are recognized as personnel expenses when they accrue. iii) Short term benefits to employees: In accordance with TAS 19, Bank measures the expected costs of the cumulative annual leaves as additional amounts anticipate to pay accumulated and unused rights as of reporting period. XVI. Explanations on taxation: Current tax: The Bank is subject to tax laws and legislation effective in Turkey. While the corporate tax rate was at the rate of 20% since January 1, 2006, such rate has been set as 22% for the tax bases of the years 2018, 2019, and 2020 based on the legislation of the Amendment on Certain Tax Laws and Other Laws no. 7061. Furthermore, the Council of Ministers has been authorized to reduce the rate of 22% down to 20%. 134 ALBARAKA TÜRK ANNUAL REPORT 2018
  134. ALBARAKA T ÜRK KATILIM BANKASI A.Ş. NOTES RELATED TO UNCONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2018 (Thousand of Turkish Lira (TL) unless otherwise stated) Dividends paid to the resident institutions are not subject to withholding tax in Turkey. Withholding tax rate on the dividend payments other than these is 15%. Appropriation of the retained earnings to capital is not considered as profit distribution and accordingly is not subject to withholding tax. The prepaid taxes are calculated based on quarterly profits of the Bank using current rate which must be announced by the 14th day and paid by the 17th day of the second month following the taxed period. The prepaid taxes can be deducted from the annual corporate tax calculated on the annual corporate income. The remaining prepaid tax, if any after deduction, can be refunded in cash or deducted from other financial liabilities to the government. A 75% portion of the capital gains derived from the sale of equity investments and a 50% portion of the capital gains derived from the sale of immovable properties held for at least two years is tax exempt, if such gains are added to paid-in capital or held in a special fund account under liability for five years. In accordance with the tax legislation, tax losses can be carried forward to offset against future taxable income for up to 5 years. Tax losses cannot be carried back to offset profits from previous periods. In accordance with the last paragraph of the first article of the law dated February 11, 1986 and numbered 3259 “Law related to granting tax exemption to Islamic Development Bank” dividends paid to Islamic Development Bank is exempt from corporate tax. Therefore, dividend distributed to Islamic Development Bank as a shareholder of the Bank is exempt from corporate tax and income tax withholding.   In Turkey, there is no procedure for a final and definite agreement on tax assessments. Companies file their tax returns to their tax offices by the end of 25th of the fourth month following the close of the accounting period 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 the right to audit tax returns, and the related accounting records on which they are based, and may issue reassessments based on their findings and carry out sectorial investigations. Considering the participation accounts’ part in general loan loss provision as expense for tax calculation, Finance Ministry initiated a sector-specific review. The relevant documents and calculations have been requested from the Bank. As of report date, there is no information or written report transmitted to the Bank. Deferred tax: The Bank calculates and accounts for deferred income taxes for temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in these financial statements in accordance with TAS 12 “Turkish Accounting Standard for Income Taxes”. Deferred tax asset is calculated on all temporary differences to the extent that is probable that taxable profit will be available and deferred tax liability is calculated for all temporary differences. Deferred tax asset and liabilities are shown in the accompanying financial statements on a net basis. Deferred tax liabilities are calculated for all of the temporary differences whereas deferred tax assets resulting from temporary differences are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deferred tax assets can be utilized. Deferred tax is measured at enacted tax rates prevailing in the period when the assets are realized or liabilities are settled, and the tax is recorded as income or expense in the income statement. Nonetheless, if the deferred tax is related to assets directly associated with the equity in the same or different period, it is directly recognized in the equity accounts. According to a change in Corporate Tax Law, which were published in the Official Gazette dated December 5, 2017 and numbered 30261, Article 91, Corporate Tax has been increased to 22% from 20% in order to be applied to the profits of the institutions for the taxation periods of 2018, 2019 and 2020. The Bank calculates deferred taxes using related ratios considering the realization period of the temporary differences. Transfer pricing: Transfer pricing is regulated through the article 13 of Corporate Tax Law titled “Disguised Profit Distribution by way of Transfer Pricing”. Detailed information for the practice regarding the subject is found in the “General Communiqué on Disguised Profit Distribution by way of Transfer Pricing”. According to the related regulation, in the case of making purchase or sales of goods or services with related persons/corporations at a price that is determined against “the arm’s length principle”, the gain is considered to be distributed implicitly through transfer pricing and such distribution of gains is not deductible in calculation of corporate tax.

  136. ALBARAKA T ÜRK KATILIM BANKASI A.Ş. NOTES RELATED TO UNCONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2018 (Thousand of Turkish Lira (TL) unless otherwise stated) Classification and measurement of financial assets: According to TFRS 9 requirements, classification and measurement of financial assets will depend on the business model within which financial assets are managed and their contractual cash flow characteristics whether the cash flows represent solely payments of principal and profit share. Assessment whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and profit share: In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are payments of principal and profit share, the bank will consider the contractual terms of the instrument. This will include assessing whether the financial asset contains a contractual term that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows. The Bank fulfills the on-balance sheet classification and measurement criteria by applying the stated procedures for all financial assets. Upon initial recognition each financial asset will be classified as either fair value through profit or loss (“Fair Value through Profit/Loss”), amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income (“Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income”). The classification and measurement of financial liabilities remain largely unchanged under TAS 39.   a) Classification and measurement of financial assets Before TFRS 9 Measurement Bases Financial assets Cash Balances and Central Bank Banks Marketable Securities Derivative Financial Assets Loans (Net) Other Loans and receivables Loans and receivables Financial assets held for trading Available for sale financial assets Held to maturity financial assets Derivative financial assets held for trading Loans and receivables Loans and receivables In scope of TFRS 9 Book value Measurement Bases Book value December 31, 2017 January 1, 2018 5.756.995 Measured at amortized cost 1.511.407 Measured at amortized cost 993.926 Fair value through profit and loss Fair value through other 1.349.233 comprehensive income 532.803 Measured at amortized cost 5.756.995 1.515.666 993.926 1.349.692 532.803 225 Fair value through profit and loss 24.456.382 Measured at amortized cost 24.749 Measured at amortized cost 225 24.245.161 24.356 b) Reconciliation of statement of financial position balances to TFRS 9 Financial assets Measured at amortized cost Balance before classification (held-to-maturity) Book value after classification Fair value through Profit/Loss Balance before classification (available-for-sale) Book value after classification Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income Book value before classification (available-for-sale) Book value after classification Book value before TFRS 9 December 31, 2017 Reclassifications Remeasurements Book value after TFRS 9 January 1, 2018 532.803 - (532.803) - - 532.803 993.926 - (993.926) - - 993.926 1.349.233 - (1.349.233) - 459 1.349.692 FINANCIAL INFORMATION 137

NOTES RELATED TO UNCONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2018 (Thousand of Turkish Lira (TL) unless otherwise stated) Additional explanations on classifications made in accordance with TFRS 9: The Bank reclassified its financial instruments under the new categories in accordance with TFRS 9 without any change in the basis of the financial instruments. Financial assets classified as “financial assets at fair value through profit or loss” in the prior period are classified as “financial assets at fair value through profit or loss” starting from January 1, 2018. The sukuk investments classified as available for sale in the prior period are classified as financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income starting from January 1, 2018. Equity type instruments classified as available for sale in the prior period are reclassified as financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income irrevocably and if the related instruments are disposed, the changes in fair values will not be booked under statement of profit or loss. Financial assets classified as “held-to-maturity investment” in the prior period are classified as "financial assets at amortized cost” starting from January 1, 2018.

(*) (**) Effects on equity with TFRS 9 transition According to paragraph 15 of Article 7 of TFRS 9 Financial Instruments Standards published in the Official Gazette numbered 29953 dated 19 January 2017, it is stated that it is not compulsory to restate previous period information in accordance with TFRS 9 and if the previous period information is not revised, it is stated that the difference between the book value of January 1, 2018 at the date of application should be reflected in the opening aspect of equity. The explanations about the transition effects to TFRS 9 presented in the equity items under the scope of this article are given below. As stated in the Communiqué on “Uniform Chart of Accounts and Prospectus” issued on September 20, 2017, for general provisions arising from equity and bank shares (TFRS 9 expected loss provisions for the loans at first and second stages), deferred tax assets calculation has started as of January 1, 2018,. Within this scope, deferred tax assets amounting to TL 64.991 have been reflected to the opening financials of January 1, 2018 and the related amount has been classified under “Prior Years Profit/Loss” in shareholders’ equity. In addition, within the scope of TFRS 9 opening adjustments, for special and general provisions of cash (for equity and bank shares) and non-cash loans the bank reduced its equity by TL 217.472 and increased the related balance sheet accounts by the specified amount. On the other hand, opening balance of general and special provisions of cash loans (participation accounts shares) have been reduced by TL 45.642 and the amount of “provision for participation accounts” has been increased by this amount. 138 ALBARAKA TÜRK ANNUAL REPORT 2018
  138. ALBARAKA T ÜRK KATILIM BANKASI A.Ş. NOTES RELATED TO UNCONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2018 (Thousand of Turkish Lira (TL) unless otherwise stated) Explanations on TFRS 16 Leases Standard “TFRS 16 Leases” standard was published in the official gazette dated 16 April 2018 and numbered 29826 for the period beginning after 31 December 2018. In this standard, the difference between the operating lease and the finance lease has been eliminated, and the lease transactions will be presented by the lessor as the financial liability for the asset (the right to use) and the lease payment. The Bank has started to work on compliance with the TFRS 16 Leases Standard effective from 1 January 2019 which is still in progress as of 31 December 2018. The Bank does not expect a significant impact in its financials with the adaptation of TFRS 16 at 1 January 2019. The Bank will apply this standard on January 1, 2019, which is the mandatory date of implementation. The Bank plans to use simplified transition implementation and not to change comparable figures for the year before the first application. Explanations on prior period accounting policies not valid for the current period “TFRS 9: Financial Instruments” standard came into effect instead of “TAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” as of January 1, 2018. Accounting policies lost their validity with the transition of TFRS 9 are given below: The Bank categorizes and records its financial assets as “Financial Assets at Fair Value through Profit and Loss”, “Financial Assets Available for Sale”, “Loans and Receivables” or “Financial Assets Held to Maturity”. Sale and purchase transactions of the financial assets mentioned above are recognized at the settlement dates. The appropriate classification of financial assets is determined and accounted at the time of purchase by the Bank management taking into consideration the purpose of the investment. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss: Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss has two sub-categories: “Trading financial assets” and “Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss”. Trading financial assets are either acquired for generating profit from short-term fluctuations in prices or dealers’ margin, or are financial assets included in a portfolio in which a pattern of short-term profit making exists. Financial assets classified in this group are initially recognized at cost which reflects their fair values and are subsequently measured at fair value in the financial statements. All gains and losses arising from these valuations are reflected in the income statement. The Bank has classified share certificates in its portfolio as trading financial assets and presented them at fair value in the accompanying financial statements. As of December 31, 2017, the Bank has not any financial assets classified as “financial assets at fair value through profit or loss” except for trading financial assets (December 31, 2016: None). Financial assets available for sale: Financial assets available for sale are initially recognized at cost; which reflects their fair values; including the transaction costs. After the initial recognition, available for sale securities are measured at fair value and the unrealized gains or losses resulting from the difference between the amortized cost and the fair value is recorded in “Marketable Securities Valuation Reserve” under equity. In case of a disposal of available for sale financial assets, value increases/decreases which have been recorded in the marketable securities valuation reserve under the equity is transferred to income statement. Financial assets classified as available for sale financial assets which do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair values cannot be reliably measured are carried at cost, less impairment, if any. Loans and receivables: Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets whose payments are fixed or can be determined, are not traded in an active market and are not classified as trading assets, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets available for sale.

  139. ALBARAKA T ÜRK KATILIM BANKASI A.Ş. NOTES RELATED TO UNCONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2018 (Thousand of Turkish Lira (TL) unless otherwise stated) Loans and receivables are carried initially at cost including the transaction costs which reflects their fair value; and subsequently recognized at the amortized cost value using the internal rate of return method in accordance with TAS 39 “Financial Assets: Recognition and Measurement”. Fees, transaction costs and other similar costs in connection with the collaterals of loans and receivables are paid by the customers and accordingly not included in expense items in the income statement. Cash loans are accounted in related accounts as specified by the Communiqué “Uniform Chart of Accounts and Explanations to be implemented by Participation Banks” dated January 26, 2007 and numbered 26415. Financial assets held to maturity: Held to maturity financial assets are financial assets that are not classified under “Loans and receivables” with fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments where management has the intent and ability to hold until maturity. Held to maturity financial assets are initially recognized at cost including the transaction costs which reflects their fair value, and subsequently carried at amortized cost using the internal rate of return method. Profit share income from held to maturity financial assets is reflected in the income statement. Explanations on impairment of financial assets: At each balance sheet date, the Bank evaluates the carrying amounts of its financial assets or a group of financial assets to determine whether there is an objective indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the Bank determines the related amount of impairment. A financial asset or a group of financial assets incurs impairment loss only if there is an objective evidence related to the occurrence of one or more than one event (loss events) subsequent to initial recognition of that asset or group of assets; and such loss event (or events) causes an impairment loss as a result of the effect on the reliable estimate of the expected future cash flows of the related financial asset and asset group. Any amount attributable to expected losses arising from any future events is not recognized under any circumstances. If there is objective evidence that the loans granted might not be collected, general and specific provisions for such loans are expensed as “Provision for Loan Losses and Other Receivables” in accordance with the Communiqué of “Principles and Procedures for the Determination of the Quality of Loans and Other Receivables and Reserves to be provided for these Loans”. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off or provisions provided in prior periods are included in “Other Operating Income” in the income statement. The profit sharing accounts’ portion of general and specific provisions for loans and other receivables originated from profit sharing accounts is reflected to the profit sharing accounts. If there is objective evidence indicating that the value of financial assets held to maturity is impaired, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the present value which is calculated by discounting the projected cash flows in the future with the original profit share rate and the net book value; provision is provided for impairment and the provision is associated with the expense accounts. If there is objective evidence indicating that the fair value of a financial asset available for sale, for which decreases in the fair value has been accounted in the equity, has been impaired then the total loss which was accounted directly under the equity is deducted from equity and transferred to the income statement. If there is objective evidence indicating that an unquoted equity instrument which is not carried at fair value because its fair value cannot be reliably measured is impaired, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment losses cannot be reversed. XXIV. Additional paragraph for convenience translation: The differences between accounting principles, as described in these preceding paragraphs and accounting principles generally accepted in countries in which unconsolidated financial statements are to be distributed and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) have not been quantified in these unconsolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these unconsolidated financial statements are not intended to present the financial position, results of operations and changes in financial position and cash flows in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in such countries and IFRS. 140 ALBARAKA TÜRK ANNUAL REPORT 2018

Information on reconciliation of total capital and equity The difference between Total Capital and Equity in the unconsolidated balance sheet mainly arises from Stage 1 and Stage 2 expected credit losses, debt instruments, and share issue premiums deemed suitable by the BRSA. In the calculation of Total Capital, Stage 1 and Stage 2 expected credit losses up to 1,25% of the credit risk is taken into consideration as Tier II Capital. On the other hand, in the calculation of the Total Capital, improvement costs for operating leases followed under tangible assets in the balance sheet, intangible assets and related deferred tax liabilities, net book value of immovables that are acquired against overdue receivables and retained more than five years, other items defined by the regulator are taken into consideration as amounts deducted from Total Capital. II. Explanations on credit risk: (1) Credit risk represents the Bank’s risk or losses arising from corporate and individual loan customers who have cash or non-cash credit relations with the Bank not fulfilling the terms of their agreements partially or in full. Limit assignment authority primarily belongs to the Board of Directors and based on the authority given by the Board of Directors, the risk limits of the Bank are determined by Head-office Loan Committee, Loan Committee and Board of Directors. Head-office Loan Committee may exercise such authority partially through units of the Bank or branches. Proposal for loans are presented in a written format to the Loan Committee and Board of Directors. Regarding the credit risk, debtors or group of debtors is subject to risk limitations. Credit limits are determined separately for each individual customer, company, group of companies, and risk groups. While determining credit risk several criteria such as the customers’ financial strength, commercial capacities, sectors, geographical areas and capital structure are evaluated collectively. In accordance with the decision taken by the Board of Directors of the Bank, the Bank cannot grant loans above 15% of its equity to a real person or legal entity (Exception to this decision is subject to the decision of the Board of Directors). Distributing the risk in a balanced manner to the sectors is observed, therefore in their marketing operations the branches strive for reaching various firms existing in different sectors. As a principle, each branch oversee the balanced distribution of the total risk to the sectors and progress of the firms existing in critical sectors. The credibility of the debtors of loans are monitored periodically in accordance with related legislation. The financial documents for loans are obtained, audited and updated as necessary as stipulated in the related legislation. Credit limits of customers are renewed periodically according to the Bank’s credit limit renewal procedure. The Bank obtains necessary collaterals for loans by analyzing the creditworthiness of corporate and individual loans according to its credit policy. Main collaterals obtained for credit risk are mortgage on real estate, cash blockage, pledges on vehicle and machinery. Limits defined by the Board of Directors and Loan Committee for each bank are followed-up by Treasury Management on a daily basis for the transactions related with placements or treasury operations like foreign currency purchase and sales with domestic and foreign correspondent banks. As of 1 January 2018, the Bank recognizes provisions for impairment in accordance with TFRS 9 requirements according to the “Regulation on the Procedures and Principles for Classification of Loans by Banks and Provisions to be set aside” published in the Official Gazette dated 22 June 2016 numbered 29750. Related classifications are mentioned in the third section under the heading of Accounting Policies, in VII.

The currency risk of the Bank is monitored on a daily basis. Net foreign currency position/shareholders’ equity ratio is also controlled on a daily basis. All foreign currency assets, liabilities and foreign currency forward transactions are taken into consideration while capital requirement to be employed for foreign currency risk is calculated. Standard Method used in legal reporting and amount subject to risk is calculated on a monthly basis. b. The Bank does not have any derivative financial instruments held for hedging purposes. c.

Explanations on liquidity risk: Liquidity Risk is managed by Asset and Liability Committee (“ALCO”) in line with risk management policies and risk appetite approved by the Board of Directors in order to take the necessary measures in a timely and correct manner against possible liquidity shortages that may result from market conditions and balance sheet structure of the Bank. Under stressed conditions, liquidity risk is managed within the Contingency Funding Plan framework. The Board of Directors reviews the liquidity risk management strategy, policy and practices and approves the liquidity strategy and policies within the framework of risk management strategy and policies, ensures the effective of practice of policies and integrations with Bank’s risk management strategy. The Board of Directors determines the basic metrics in liquidity risk measurement and monitoring. The Board of Directors establishes risk appetite of the Bank in liquidity risk management and identifies the risk limits in accordance with the risk appetite and reviews it regularly. ALCO takes necessary decisions which will be executed by related departments by assessing the liquidity risk that the Bank is exposed to and considering the Bank’s strategy and conditions of competition and pursues the implementations. Risk Management Department defines the Bank’s liquidity risk, measures and monitors the risks with liquidity risk measurement methods that are in compliance with legal legislation, presents measurement results periodically to related departments, committees and senior management. Risk Management Department coordinates related parties in order to ensure compliance of risk management process in accordance with the Bank’s risk profile, operation environment and strategic plan with regulations. The liquidity risk analysis and the important early warning signals are reported periodically to related senior management.

The Bank’s funding management is carried out in compliance with the ALCO decisions in the direction of the Fund Transfer Pricing (“FTP”) committee. Funding and placement strategies are developed by assessing liquidity of the Bank. In liquidity risk, management actions that will be taken and procedures are determined by considering normal economic conditions and stress conditions. Diversification of assets and liabilities is assured to be able to continuously meet the obligations, also taking into account the relevant currencies. Funding sources are monitored actively during identification of concentration risk related to funding. The Bank’s funding base of funds collected and other borrowing transactions are diversified in order to prevent the concentration of a particular funding source. Factors that could trigger the sudden and significant run off in funds or impair the accessibility of the funding sources are analyzed. In the context of TL and foreign currencies liquidity management, the Bank monitors the cash flows regarding assets and liabilities and forecasts the required liquidity in future periods. In cash flow analysis, stress is applied to items that affect the liquidity by volume and rate of change from a liquidity management point of view. Liquidity risk exposed by the Bank is managed by establishing risk appetite, effective control environment and closely monitoring by limits. The results of liquidity risk stress testing are taken into consideration in the assessment of liquidity adequacy and identification of strategy, policy and procedures regarding liquidity risk and contingency funding plan is prepared within this framework. There exists “Liquidity Risk Management Contingency Funding Plan” in the Bank including mechanisms to prevent increase in liquidity risk during normal and liquidity crisis scenarios for different conditions and levels. Available liquidity sources are determined by considering the liquidity squeezes. Within the framework of this plan, the Bank monitors liquidity risk in terms of early warning indicators in each stress.  156 ALBARAKA TÜRK ANNUAL REPORT 2018

  158. ALBARAKA T ÜRK KATILIM BANKASI A.Ş. NOTES RELATED TO UNCONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2018 (Thousand of Turkish Lira (TL) unless otherwise stated) Liquidity coverage ratio is calculated by comparing the high quality liquid assets owned by the Bank to net cash outflow in 30 days maturity. Balance sheet accounts that are significant on the ratio can be listed as reserve requirements maintained at CBRT, marketable securities that are not subject to repurchase agreements or not given as collateral, banks receivables, funds collected, funds borrowed. The effect of these accounts on the liquidity coverage ratio is higher than other accounts, since these accounts have a higher share in liquid assets and net cash outflows. High quality liquid assets consist of cash, deposits in central banks and securities considered as high quality liquid assets. Reserve deposits are included in high quality liquid assets, limited by the amount that is allowed by central bank to use in liquidity shortages. The Bank’s high quality liquid assets are composed of 11,91% cash, 78,50% deposits in central banks and 9,59% securities considered as high quality liquid assets. The Bank’s main funding sources are funds collected, funds borrowed, borrowings from money market and subordinated loans. Funding source composition as at report date is 76,43% funds collected, 23,57% funds borrowed, borrowings from money market and subordinated loans. Cash flows of derivatives that will take place within 30 days are taken into account in calculation of liquidity coverage ratio. Cash outflows of derivatives that arise from margin obligations, are reflected to the results in accordance with the methodology articulated in the related legislation. The Bank manages all the transactions with its foreign branches and subsidiaries consolidated in the framework of central bank, markets and related legislation of the country in which the institutions are located. Liquidity risk of the bank, its foreign branches and subsidiaries that are to be consolidated are managed within the regulatory limits and in accordance with group strategies. The liquidity positions of consolidated subsidiaries are continuously monitored by the Bank. FINANCIAL INFORMATION 159

Due to usage of standard approach for the calculation of capital adequacy ratio by the Bank, tables which have to be prepared within the scope of Internal rating-based (IRB) approach have not been presented. a. Risk management strategy and weighted amounts: a.1. Risk management strategy: The aim of the Bank’s Risk management system is basically to ensure identification, measurement, monitoring and controlling of risks exposed, through establishment of policies, implementation procedure and limits for monitoring, controlling and in case of need changing the risk/return structure of future cash flows, and accordingly nature and level of operations. The Board of Directors has a responsibility of establishing and providing compatible, adequate and effective system on internal control, risk management and internal auditing as anticipated by the Banking Law for the purpose of monitoring and controlling risks emerging from operations. The Board of Directors is responsible for establishing risk management policies and strategies. These policies are revised and evaluated periodically according to prevailing market conditions. The general manager is responsible from ensuring that departments of the bank operate in accordance with the specified policies and strategies about risk management as determined by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors of the Bank takes an important part in the processes of risk management by following policies and strategies on consolidated and unconsolidated basis, setting up limit systems and procedures in the Bank. The related limits are monitored, reported and maintained within the set limits by the units under the internal systems and the related departments in the bank. Risk Management Department, organized within the frame of Risk Management regulations, undertakes activities for measuring, monitoring, controlling and reporting of risks. FINANCIAL INFORMATION 163
  163. ALBARAKA T ÜRK KATILIM BANKASI A.Ş. NOTES RELATED TO UNCONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2018 (Thousand of Turkish Lira (TL) unless otherwise stated) Ultimate goal of the bank’s risk management system is to allocate capital in accordance with risks that functional activities have (economical capital), to maximize return on capital adjusted according to risk and to increase added value created. In Asset and Liability Committee, asset-liability structure is managed via evaluating fund collection activities in line with risk management policies and domestic and foreign conditions regarding the bank’s fund lending. The risks that the Bank is exposed to or may be exposed to in the future are determined and the definition of these risks is made. Defined risks are measured and prioritized as far as possible. It is provided that all important risks are in the risk appetite considering the potential impact of the risks and the strategy arising from the bank’s strategies to risk profile. The bank’s strategies are integrated with risk profile and risk appetite. If it is expected that the risk profile is going to change in the future, this change is assessed with the degree of capital impact. While a risk profile is being developed, the risk profile is analyzed based on the risk type, the sector and/or the geographic location. The bank’s risk tolerance is the most comprehensive calculated risk amount which may be accepted in accordance with the determined mission and vision. In other words, before deciding on the necessity of taking measures, it is the bank’s readiness to exposure of any risk amount. In this respect, the risk tolerance, in connection with the variety of services offered by the bank, is the level of risk it identifies as acceptable. The bank’s risk appetite means the amount of risk that can be accepted by the bank in order to reach the strategic targets, and it includes an acceptable variability around the targets as well. The common feature of the bank’s risk appetite and risk tolerance is to drive the lines regarding risk acceptance. However, risk tolerance is more comprehensive.   By means of “Risk Appetite Policy” approved by the board of directors, risk levels can be taken to implement risk strategies and to achieve the objectives of the Banks were identified. Limits, which are determined within the framework of risk profile of the bank in accordance with the bank’s risk appetite and risk tolerance, and triggering functions, were described in detail. Considering the bank’s financial position, activity profile and the growth expectations of the future, the amount of capital needed for the strategic targets to be met have been calculated by the basis of static and dynamic stress tests and scenario analyses. Considering the factors that may affect the bank operates market today and in the future, stress tests and scenario analysis studies on the financial structure of the bank have been assessed together with the other financial indicators; in this context, a coordination based on harmony was created between prepared capital plans and processes of the bank. Aiming to ensure capital allocation compatible with the risks of its functional operations and increase the capital yield set according to these risks to the maximum level, Albaraka Türk evaluates risks by classifying them as market risks, liquidity risk, credit risk, operational risk, strategic risk and credibility risk. Market Risk The Bank's market risk; refers to the probability of loss may be exposed to exchange rate risk, equity position risk, profit rate risk and commodity risk. Within the coverage of market risk, Albaraka Türk calculates the foreign currency position risk and the security risk, as well as specific risks associated with market risk, by using the Standard approach and reports to it the authorities accordingly on a regular basis. Additionally, for test-purpose, foreign currency position risk of our Bank is measured by internal models. With backtesting applications, deviations between actual values and daily VaR values, predicted by internal models, are observed in order to control accuracy and performance of these models. Potential strength of portfolio against to unexpected risks is measured with stress tests including stress scenarios. Whether the market risk of our Bank is in conformity with legal regulations and the determined limits is constantly monitored. Our foreign currency risk is discussed and evaluated at every Assets/Liabilities Committee meeting and our foreign currency strategy is based on holding this risk constant by holding to square foreign currency position (i.e. no short or long positions are taken). 164 ALBARAKA TÜRK ANNUAL REPORT 2018
  164. ALBARAKA T ÜRK KATILIM BANKASI A.Ş. NOTES RELATED TO UNCONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2018 (Thousand of Turkish Lira (TL) unless otherwise stated) Liquidity risk The Bank’s liquidity risk, consists of funding related liquidity risk and market-related liquidity risk. The liquidity risk is the situation whereby, as a result of any imbalances in the cash flows, there is a potential for not being able to meet the Participation Funds which have matured or other due liabilities in a timely manner due to shortage of liquid funds. Market liquidity risk is an expression of the likelihood of the bank’s suffering a loss because the bank is unable to close or cover a particular position at the market price owing to insufficient market depth or to excessive market volatility. Liquidity risk could be caused by such factors as maturity mismatch, deterioration in the quality of assets, unexpected funding outflows, erosion in profitability levels and economic crisis. In order to manage liquidity risk, the Bank monitors the cash flows on a daily basis and takes preventive and improving measures taken so that commitments are met duly in time. The Liquidity risk is also evaluated by ALCO on a weekly basis. The Bank applies a policy whereby liquid assets are kept in sufficient volumes and qualities in consideration of the minimum liquidity coverage ratios determined by the related regulations and the liquidity experiences of the past in order to meet any liquidity requirement that could arise with unexpected volatilities in the markets. Credit risk Credit risk is defined as the probability of losses to the Bank due to customers failing to partially or completely pay their commitments to the Bank in a timely manner, in violation of the provisions of their credit contracts. This risk also contains any losses in the market value of the customers due to any deterioration in the financial position of the customer. The definition of credit risk is includes not just the portfolios within the balance sheet, but also those kept off balance sheet. The authority to approve credits belongs to the Board of Directors at our Bank. The Board of Directors determines the policies concerning the utilization, approval, risk management of the credits and other related management principles. It then ensures the implementation and supervision of these policies, taking required measures when necessary. The Board of Directors has transferred some of its authority in approving credit lines to the Credit Committee and General Management within the framework of the procedures and principles determined by the legal provisions. The General Management uses that authority to utilize credits by means of the credit departments and Bank branches. At our Bank, credit allocations are realized within those limits that are determined on the basis of each debtor and group of debtors. It is systematically not possible for customers to exceed the predetermined and approved limit. Close attention is paid to prevent any sector concentration that might impair the health of the credit portfolio. Utmost care is given to the prevention of risks concentrating on a small number of customers. Credit risks are constantly monitored and reported by the internal systems units and risk management bodies. Credit risks are ensured to be in conformity to "Regulation on Credit Policies and Implementation Procedures". Operational risk Operational risk is a risk of loss caused by insufficient or unsuccessful internal processes, by persons and systems or external events, wherein the legal risks and compliance risks are included while the strategic (making wrong decisions at the wrong time) and reputational risk are excluded. Operational risk is a type of risk present in all activities of the Bank. It could arise from errors of the staff or the system, from such transactions as may have been made based on insufficient or incorrect legal information or documents, due to impediments in the flow of information between the divisions in the organizational structure of the Bank, due to uncertainties in the definition of limits of authorities or from structural and/or operational changes, natural disasters, terror and frauds. The Bank classifies operational risks into five groups according to their sources: staff risks, technological risks, organizational risks, legal and compliance risks and external risks. The Bank also takes required measures to maintain operational risks at acceptable levels. FINANCIAL INFORMATION 165
  165. ALBARAKA T ÜRK KATILIM BANKASI A.Ş. NOTES RELATED TO UNCONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2018 (Thousand of Turkish Lira (TL) unless otherwise stated) Other risks The other risks that the Bank could encounter include strategic and reputational risk, counterparty credit risk, country risk, and concentration risk. For the management of strategic risk, the Bank keeps a close watch on the domestic and international situation, on technological, financial, and social developments, on the legal and regulatory frameworks, and on the banking industry as a whole in order to make rational decisions and to change them as circumstances warrant. The Bank regards reputational risk as anything that might lead to the Bank’s suffering a loss on account of adverse developments such as a reduction in the confidence that is had in it or any impairment in its good standing due to unfavorable opinions that existing or potential customers, shareholders, competitors, regulatory agencies, or other outside or associated parties may have about it or due to any breach of existing laws and regulations. For the risk of reputation to be avoided and/or controlled by the Bank’s Risk Management System, a proactive communication mechanism that gives the customer priority is established any time a condition that could detriment the Bank’s reputation or image is detected. Preparations are made for the worst-case scenarios in advance. In the evaluation of the reputation risk, the relationship, level and impact of operational risks to the reputation risk are also taken into account. Counterparty credit risk is an expression of the likelihood that the counterparty in any transaction that imposes an obligation on two parties will default on the obligation before the final payment in the transaction’s cash flow sequence. The Bank manages its counterparty credit risk exposure as required by laws and regulations, taking best practices into consideration, and compatibly with the volume, nature, and complexity of its operations. Country risk is an expression of the likelihood that the bank will suffer a loss because debtors in another country fail to fulfill or avoid fulfilling their obligations owing to uncertainties in the economic, social, and/or political conditions of that country. The Bank enters into business relationships with foreign financial institutions and/or the agencies of foreign countries taking legal and regulatory restrictions, market conditions, and customer satisfaction into consideration and on the basis of feasibility studies that take the country’s economic conditions into account. Concentration risk is defined as the likelihood that a single risk or several risks that have some attribute in common may, if realized, cause losses that are capable of endangering the bank itself or its ability to carry out its essential activities. Policies aimed at managing concentration risk are formulated so as to deal with particular aspects of it such as sectoral concentration, collateral concentration, market risk concentration, types of loss concentration, and creditor concentration. 166 ALBARAKA TÜRK ANNUAL REPORT 2018
