Message from the Chairman
Güneş Sigorta has become one of the most important players
in its sector today by continuously developing its structure in
line with its customers’ needs and expectations.
11
Dear Shareholders,
Originally founded in 1957, Güneş Sigorta
has constantly kept pace with the intensely
competitive and finely-tuned balances
of the insurance industry and today it
continues to put its 52 years of experience
and expertise to work as it further
strengthens its strong and dynamic position
year after year.
Güneş Sigorta has become one of the most
important players in its sector today by
continuously developing its structure in line
with its customers’ needs and expectations.
Our company’s reliability and success have
made it the first choice of Turkey’s biggest
industrial institutions when they address
their insurance requirements. Güneş Sigorta
derives its strength and its support from
you, our esteemed shareholders.
Thanks to its success in closely monitoring
technological and economic developments
and in adapting them to its business
processes, Güneş Sigorta increased its
premium production as it emerged from
2008 business downturn. According to
2009 figures it ranked 5th in its sector.
Combined life and non-life premium
production in the Turkish insurance
industry in 2005 amounted to just TL 7.8
billion in value. In 2010 the figure reached
TL 12.4 billion. That corresponds to an
average annual growth rate of 14%.
Güneş Sigorta 2009 Annual Report
As may be seen from this performance,
premium production in the Turkish
insurance industry has been growing much
faster than the Turkish economy as a whole.
With the increase in mortgage loan in the
medium and long terms, we may expect
to see a parallel rise in property insurance
premium production as well.
Despite such positive developments
however, per capita life and non-life
premium production in Turkey is still well
below the European Union average.
In a country with a youthful population
and a growing economy such as Turkey
has, international insurance companies
have repeatedly shown a willingness to
enter into partnerships with or to acquire
local insurers by paying prices that are well
above their book value. This fact is the most
important indicator of the potential that
our sector has.
It is my opinion that the existing low
penetration rates of the insurance and
private pension sectors together with their
high growth potential and the leveraging
effect that mortgage loan has on that
potential, all play important roles in Güneş
Sigorta’s development, which is also
contributed to by VakıfBank’s own extensive
branch network.
Güneş Sigorta is a great and deep-rooted
family which encompasses all of its
business partners, customers, company
units, and personnel and in which pride
and success are amalgamated with team
spirit. This great family reaps the rewards
of its undaunted willingness to take bold
and innovative steps in the direction of
identified objectives, of its commitment, of
its faith, and of its diligence in the form of
“confidence and success”.
I believe that with the added support
of you, our esteemed shareholders, the
successful performance that has been
continuing for so many years will increase
by even more in 2010 and the years that
follow and that we shall all continue to take
pride in being together under Güneş Sigorta
roof.

Message from the Chief Executive Officer
Güneş Sigorta’s basic goal is to deliver service in every
business line as a trusted, innovative, and enduring company
that comes up with effective solutions for the constantly
changing and developing insurance needs of society.
Dear Shareholders,
Progressing along the path of service
with its 52 years of experience and
customer-focused approach, Güneş Sigorta
continued to provide its customers with
the distinctive benefits of being a trusted
name and a deep-rooted company in 2009
as well. It gives me pleasure to say that
as it embarked upon 2010, Güneş Sigorta
had further strengthened its standing as a
company, which has a presence wherever it
may be needed and which offers pioneering
and innovative services in line with its
corporate vision.
2009 was a transition year: a year in which
the effects of the global economic crisis
continued to make themselves felt and
in which new regulations and practices
became necessary, particularly for the
insurance industry.
Owing to the quite integrated structure
manifested by global markets today, Turkish
markets felt the impact of the financial
crisis. During the first half of 2009, our
country’s markets strove to minimize
those effects; during the second half, they
remained relatively more stable. With
apparent signs of resumed growth in the
last quarter of the year, efforts were made
to plan the undertakings that would be
made and to create the infrastructure that
would be required for 2010.
Looking at the overall figures for 2009,
we see that, according to IMF estimates,
the world economy shrank by 0.8% in real
terms whereas in the Turkish economy
and in the Turkish insurance industry, the
contractions were on the order of 4.7% and
2.2% respectively.
Last year Güneş Sigorta:
• Booked a premium production
amounting to TL 727 million in total,
which was in line with expectations,
• Successfully carried out its restructuring
activities as part of the overall strategic
plan which has been formulated,
• Continued to present value added solutions
and services to its customers within the
framework of its own sense of quality.
13
Güneş Sigorta is a company that has
always been able to further its presence
under every market condition as one of
the leading players setting the rules and
standards of its own market since the day
it was founded. The solid capital structures
and support of our shareholders from
Türkiye Vakıflar Bankası T.A.O. on down
further increases the confidence that all
our stakeholders have in us. This serves as
important backing in our efforts to achieve
our corporate aims.
By taking advantage of its visibility and
brand value, its broad-based agency
structure, its customer satisfaction, and its
premium production abilities, our company
intends to take even more potent steps
as it moves forward with the process of
performance and structuring that it has
been undergoing in recent years. The
restructuring projects encompassing all of
the company’s units and business processes
that we have completed over the last two
years played a great role in our ability to
adapt our customer service model to the
competitive conditions that newly emerged
in the wake of the global economic crisis.
Our service processes, which we have
structured with a result-focused point of
view, are designed to expedite all of our
customer-related business operations and
to make insurance an easily accessible
service. The gains that we have achieved
as a result of our intensive efforts and
of our projects in this direction and,
most important of all, our customer
feedback show that we have succeeded
in transforming Güneş Sigorta into a
company that is very much stronger in the
confrontation with its competitors.
Looking at our country’s insurance industry
figures, we can see that our sector is more
and more becoming a market which has
strong potential and which is capable of
steady growth and development. The most
Güneş Sigorta 2009 Annual Report
important duty incumbent upon us with
respect to tapping that market potential
is to engage in activities that will increase
awareness of insurance and of insuring
among society. It is of the utmost concern
that we clearly convey to the public at large
the message that insurance is a matter of
investing today for the sake of their longterm economic well-being.
The advantage of reaching a large number
of many different customers through
its multiple sales channel strategy is an
important competitive advantage that
enhances Güneş Sigorta’s strength. The
bancassurance channel which we have
created with VakıfBank (one of Turkey’s
leading public sector banks), our extensive
agency network, and our corporate sales
team all enable us to deliver service to
customers everywhere in Turkey.
Before closing I also want to impart to
you our sensitivity on the issue of social
responsibility, which we believe to be an
indispensable element of sustainability.
Güneş Sigorta reflects the “confidence and
sustainability” that are essential features
of the insurance business in its sense of
social responsibility as well. Within that
framework, the investments that we
undertake in the future and in the areas of
social responsibility are informed by our
awareness of the contributions which they
will make to our social values.
As I noted at the beginning, 2009 was a
transition year. In such an environment,
a process of change and accommodation
was experienced–and is still being
experienced–along with the global crisis,
sectoral competition, and new financial
and actuarial demands imposed by
changes in the legal framework governing
the insurance industry. Of course these
processes will entail a variety of costs
for the sector. However these costs, even
though they will be spread out over several
years, will nevertheless be short-lived
and they will ultimately be important
steps forward from the standpoint of
capital accumulation among the sector’s
firms and thus of the strengthening of
their financial structures as well. To put
it another way, this process is one of
financial strengthening and entrenchment
and we will be seeing improvements in
growth and profitability figures across
the sector beginning in 2011. For our own
part we have embarked upon this period
in readiness and we are advancing surefootedly through this process in keeping
with our own projections.
As Güneş Sigorta our basic goal is to
deliver service in every business line as a
trusted, innovative, and enduring company
that comes up with effective solutions for
the constantly changing and developing
insurance needs of society. Focusing on the
performance, confidence and perfection
in service triangle, Güneş Sigorta’s own
undisputable expertise makes it one of the
companies that determine what both the
rules and the competition will be in the
insurance sector. That, together with the
other elements of our strength, will play
a great role in our progressing soundly
forward along with our shareholders,
employees, and customers towards the
same goal no matter what obstructions
may appear before us on our way.
I take this occasion to express on my own
behalf and on behalf of our company our
thanks to our employees, our agencies, our
bancassurance channel, our brokers, and
all the valued customers who choose to
do business with us, for they were the true
architects of our sustainable performance
in 2009.

Economic and Sectoral Outlook
Developing market economies led by Asian countries are
expected to be the engines of the global economy in the
period ahead.
Global Economy
Having registered growth rates of 5.2% and
3.0% in 2007 and 2008 respectively, the
world economy is thought to have shrunk
by some 0.6% in 2009 based on revised
IMF projections. Despite improvements in
economies’ growth and leading indicators,
unemployment rates remained worrisomely
high. Unemployment reached the 9.3%
level in the United States while among
OECD countries as a whole it is estimated to
have reached 8.6% in the third quarter of
the year and 8.7% in the fourth.
As a result of comprehensive support
provided by governments through
coordinated efforts to deal with the
global economic crisis, the world economy
embarked upon a process of recovery in the
third quarter of 2009.
As some developed countries emerged
from recession in technical terms with the
resumption of positive growth, the recovery
in capital markets took place rather more
quickly than had been expected. With the
sustainability of the improvements looking
questionable on account of recentlyemerging problems in economies like those
of Greece and Spain, uncertainty and the
question of how the crisis-exit process was
to be managed were the leading items on
the agenda as 2010 was embarked upon.
While developing market economies led
by those of Asian countries are very much
expected to be the engines of the global
economy in the period ahead, the IMF
posits a 4.2% rate of growth for the world
economy as a whole in 2010.

The Turkish economy is rapidly returning
to the path of sustainable growth. A
contraction that began in the Turkish
economy in the last quarter of 2008
continued during the first nine months of
2009, ultimately reaching the 8.4% level.
This trend reversed itself in the last quarter
of 2009, with positive growth weighing
in at 6%. Industrial output in December
2009 was up by 25.2% compared with the
same period of the previous year while the
rise in manufacturing industries was at
the 28% level. The industrial output index
in December 2009 reached the 117.1 level
(2005=100) compared with December 2008.
Gross domestic product (GDP) was down
by 4.7% as measured in real terms and it
weighed in at TL 97,088 million in 2009. Per
capita GDP in 2009 amounted to USD 8,590.

Güneş Sigorta 2009 Annual Report
Unemployment, one of the most serious
worldwide consequences of the financial
crisis continued also to be one of Turkey’s
most severe problems. Despite a modest
improvement in the labor market during the
latter part of 2009, persistent uncertainties
as to total demand continued to have an
adverse impact on hiring decisions. The
unemployment rate as of end-2009 was
14.0%. According to the Medium-Term
Programme it had been expected to be at
the 14.8% level.
Subdued energy and basic commodity
prices, which were depressed by
developments at the global level, together
with the contraction in total demand
caused a general decline in inflation in
2009. However an unexpected increase in
unprocessed food prices in December 2009
as well as rises in oil and other commodity
prices resulted in an end-2009 inflation
rate that was a whole point higher than
what had been projected. The rise in the
consumer price index (CPI) was around
6.53%. As a result of both of the pressure
exerted on world trade by the global
crisis and of the contraction brought on
by depressed domestic demand, Turkey’s
imports were down by 30.3% (on a CIF
basis) in 2009 compared with 2008 and
08
The Global Insurance Industry
The world’s insurance sector has spent the
last two years in the shadow of the global
economic crisis. In developed countries, this
situation led to a significant contraction
in insurance premium volumes whereas
among developing countries, such volumes
continued to grow.
In 2008 the global insurance industry
suffered from the first real-term
contraction in its experience since 1980,
with total premium production down by
2% year-on and weighing in at USD 4.3
trillion. Of this total, USD 2.5 trillion was

were worth USD 140,775 million. FOB
exports shrank by 22.6% year-on-year
to USD 102,165 million in value. Because
the cutback in imports was greater than
that in exports, ratio of import covered
by exports shot up quite unexpectedly
to 72.6%. These developments caused a
significant contraction in the country’s
current account deficit beginning with
the last quarter of 2008. Looking at 2009
as a whole, the current account deficit
was down by 67% compared with 2008,
shrinking from USD 41,946 million to only
USD 13,958 million.

The USD 50 billion paid out against natural
disaster claims in 2008 made it one of the
most expensive years ever experienced by
the insurance industry in its history. While
most companies managed to cover these
huge losses thanks to their robust capital
structures, a few American and European
insurers racked up such huge losses that
they were forced to seek government
support in order to stay afloat.

Total claims down in 2009
While the economic loss resulting from total
claims was USD 268 billion in 2008, in 2009
it was only USD 62 billion. In 2008 the cost
of insured losses amounted to USD 52.5
billion; in 2009 it was down to less than
half of that at USD 26 billion. The principal
reason for the observed 51% decline in
insured loss costs is said to be a relatively
uneventful hurricane season last year.

Economic and Sectoral Outlook
2009: A more favorable year from the
standpoint of compensation payments.
Total insured losses arising from natural
disasters amounted to only about USD 22
billion in 2009. The two biggest sources
of these insured losses were Europe (USD
7.7 billion) and North America (USD 12.7
billion). The biggest single natural disaster
loss (reaching USD 3.3 billion in total) was
caused by Klaus, a European cyclone that
affected such countries as France, Italy,
and Spain. By comparison and despite the
huge destruction which they wrought, a
7.6 earthquake in Indonesia caused insured
losses amounting to only USD 40 million
while Typhoon Morakot resulted in about
USD 100 million worth of claims in the
devastated areas of Taiwan, China, and the
Philippines. Other natural disasters last
year causing insured losses were a June
hailstorm in Switzerland and Austria (USD
1.25 billion) and February brushfires in
Australia (USD 1 billion).
Council of Europe approves Solvency II
In 2009 the Council of Europe approved
the Solvency II regime of regulatory
requirements whose compliance will be
required of European insurers. According to
the EU’s Solvency II calendar, implementing
measures will be agreed upon during 2010
so that the directive may go into effect
in 2012. Solvency II seeks to encourage
insurers to make use of the most advanced
risk management techniques while
also providing greater safeguards for
policyholders.
2009: A good year for reinsurance
companies
Reinsurance companies typically take
a more effective approach to risk
management and adhere to more prudent
investment policies compared with other
insurance market players. Last year
reinsurers largely held onto the economic
capital which they needed in order to
allocate reinsurance coverage and liquidity
to the ceding companies with which they
have close business relationships. An
extremely low level of natural disaster
claims in 2009, relatively prudent attitudes
with respect to business acceptance
policies throughout the sector, a release of
prior-year technical reserves, and a modest
recovery in capital markets all led to an
observed rise in sectoral profitability and
investment returns.
Company mergers and acquisitions driven
by both insurers and reinsurers turning to
capital markets in line with their strategic
needs appear to have gained momentum
in 2009.
The Insurance Industry in Turkey
The sector experienced a real contraction
as a result of the crisis.
Although the insurance industry exhibited
a relatively good performance in the life
branch in 2009, it was unable to achieve
the same success in the elementary
branches. In addition to having to contend
with the global financial crisis, the Turkish
insurance industry was also seriously
affected by floods that took place in
İstanbul in the third quarter of the year.

Total premium production in all nonlife branches in 2009 was up by 2.7%
year-on and it reached TL 10,474 million.
Life branch premium production during
the same period increased by 14.6% to
TL 1,807 million. Overall growth in all
branches was 4.3%, with total premium
production weighing in at TL 12,281 million.
Considering that the twelve-month rise
in consumer prices in 2009 was 6.53%,
the real change corresponds to a 3.7%
contraction in the non-life branches and
to a 7.6% rate of growth in the life branch.
Overall, the sector experienced a 2.2%
decline in its premium production however.
Technical profits down in 2009
Depressed demand brought on by the
economic crisis combined with the effects
of years of chronic competition among
companies to undercut one another on
price. The result was that the expected
rise in the sector’s premium production
did not materialize while both financial
and technical profits declined. A rise in
compensation payments also played
a significant role in reducing profits.
Technical profit ratios in 2009 were 1.04%
in the non-life branch, 5.93% in all life
branches, and 1.34% overall.
Superior performance in compensation
payments
The adversities from which the sector
suffered did not affect its compensation
payments. Total claims paid out in 2009
were up 20.5% year-on and amounted to TL
8,473 million.
17
Güneş Sigorta 2009 Annual Report
It is thought that the contraction in the insurance industry
will give way to a moderate resumption in growth in parallel
with macroeconomic developments that are expected to be
taking place in 2010.
Heavy precipitation in different parts of
Turkey during different times of the year
led to flooding and to a variety of losses
associated with it. Among these were the
disastrous floods which occurred in the
Marmara region, especially in İstanbul, in
September and which went on record as
the highest catastrophic losses suffered
by the Turkish insurance market since the
Marmara earthquake of 1999. These floods
caused insured losses which were put at
about TL 637.2 million.
As of end-2009 a total of TL 365.6 million
had been paid out as compensation for
these losses, with outstanding claims
amounting to TL 271.6 million. Efforts
made by the sector in the wake of the
catastrophic flooding together with
payment of a substantial volume of claims
in a short time represent an important
development from the standpoint of
demonstrating the sector’s trustworthiness.
Continued efforts to strengthen the sector
infrastructure with laws and regulations
Intensive efforts on the part of the Treasury
Undersecretariat played a great role in
ending the legal framework problems
from which the sector suffered in the past.
With the introduction of new laws and
regulations that have been prepared to be
compliant with EU legislation, the Turkish
insurance industry has begun to acquire
a legal framework that is compatible with
both international standards and with
current practices.
Arbitration mechanism goes live in 2009
The Insurance Arbitration Commission
was formed under article 30 of Statute
5684 for the purpose of ensuring that
disputes arising under insurance contracts
between insurers on the one hand and
policyholders and beneficiaries on the other
are resolved by arbitrators in a prompt and
straightforward manner. As of 13 August
2009, the commission began accepting
petitions pertaining to such disagreements.
The commission consists of 101 arbitrators
of whom 10 are responsible for the life
branch and 91 are responsible for nonlife branches. As of 21 August 2009, 37
insurance companies had been included in
the new arbitration system.
A greater desire to invest in developing
countries
Global insurance companies take an interest
in emerging markets because such markets
have not yet reached saturation and
because of their huge potential arising from
their demographic features. While such
interest may have waned initially in the
face of the economic crisis, the resilience
that these markets showed throughout
the crisis process has prompted a renewed
interest in them. It is expected that insurers’
desire to invest in emerging markets such
as Turkey will continue and grow stronger
in 2010 and the years that follow.
Among the companies that began doing
business under new names as a result of
mergers and acquisitions in 2009, mention
should be made of Groupama (the result
of a Başak Groupama Sigorta and Güven
Sigorta merger), ING Emeklilik (the result
of the ING Group’s acquisition of OYAK
Emeklilik’s business activities), and Alianz
(the result of Alianz’s taking full control of
Koç Alianz).
Real growth expected in the insurance
industry in 2010
It is thought that the contraction in the
insurance industry will give way to a
moderate resumption in growth in parallel
with macroeconomic developments that
are expected to be taking place in 2010.
Recognizing that overall profitability in
the sector can be improved by increasing
technical profitability, the crucial issues
confronting insurers will be:
• Determining prices accurately,
• Focusing on technical profitability rather
than on financial profitability,
• Increasing public awareness of insurance
and its importance.

Developments in premium production and portfolio shares
The biggest rise (22.86%) in Güneş Sigorta’s premium production took place in the Agriculture branch followed in turn by rises in
the Motor Third Party Liability (8.71%) and Marine (4.46%) branches. Overall growth in the company’s premium production last
year was 2.46%, a performance that maintained the fifth-place ranking in the sector that Güneş Sigorta has held since 2007.
Looking at a breakdown of 2009 production on an individual branch basis, the biggest share (36.01%) of the portfolio was contributed by
Accident policies. In the Agriculture branch, Güneş Sigorta rose to second place in the sector last year with a 22.86% increase in its premium
production.

Güneş Sigorta in 2009
In 2009 Güneş Sigorta increased its premium production to
something over TL 727 million. With its 7% or so market share,
it ranks among the top five insurers in the sector.
Güneş Sigorta in general:
• Completed 2009 with a performance
in line with its targets.
• Booked premiums worth TL 727,075
thousand while issuing more than 3
million policies.
• Launched a sales-focused
organizational model whose aim is
customer satisfaction.
• Added new customers to its corporate
clients portfolio.
• Created a sales consultancy system.
• Achieved productivity increases in
bancassurance through its call center.
• Engaged in activities to improve
productivity and effectiveness of
agencies.
• Found the Actuarial and Technical
Data Analysis Department and the
Internal Control and Risk Engineering
Department.
An exemplary service provider in a
competitive environment, Güneş Sigorta
has become one of the Turkish insurance
industry’s most distinguished and preferred
companies by virtue of its 52 years of
experience and of the consistent financial
and operational performance that it has
registered to date. Güneş Sigorta is an
insurer that has proven its superiority
through the customer-focused service
approach to which it gives importance in
the delivery of insurance products and
services.
Güneş Sigorta ranks among the sector’s
leading companies with:
• Head office
• 11 regional offices
• 7 representative offices
• 7.2% market share
Güneş Sigorta’s basic goal is to continue
being a company which is profitable, which
regards the customer as the focal point of
everything that it does, and which enters
into enduring and long-term relationships
with its customers. To that end, Güneş
Sigorta has been continuously and
systematically developing its products and
services, its service delivery processes, and
its human resources for the last two years.
A sales-focused organizational model was
built.
The aim of the sales-focused organizational
model, which was completed in 2009, is to
further advance Güneş Sigorta’s identity
as an insurance company which supplies
the right product to the right customer
at the right time and at the right price. At
every stage of the insuring process from
determining the proper level of coverage
for a customer’s risk to issuing a policy
and from risk engineering consultancy
to claims payments, Güneş Sigorta
consistently adhered to its strategy of being
customer-focused on sales while remaining
committed to ethical values.
Under the heading of structuring the
company’s sales-focused organizational
model, regional offices were given
important responsibilities related to
improving the effectiveness of relations
between the company and all the sales
channels under their control.
Sales and Marketing Management units,
which are responsible for coordinating
activities with Headquarters units, have
undertaken such important duties as
determining targets on an individual
agency basis, monitoring performance, and
developing campaigns and new projects.
21
Under the same heading, the organizational
model was strengthened and, where
necessary, restructured with the assignment
of knowledgeable personnel in order to
keep track of processes.
Under the heading of activities aimed at
developing relationships with agencies,
personnel numbers were increased
in technical and sales units, business
processes were reviewed, and a faster and
more effectively operating organizational
model was formulated.
Under the heading of activities which have
been carried out with the utmost attention
for the last two years in order to make
Güneş Sigorta’s product and service delivery
processes more productive, strategically
important projects were undertaken dealing
with such issues as increasing customer
satisfaction and strengthening customer
relations, designing and implementing
improvements in product and service
deliveries, accelerating existing business
processes, and developing relations with
agencies.
Diversifying alliances in bancassurance
Foremost among the factors that have
put Güneş Sigorta in the position it is
today as it undergoes constant change
and development are business policies
which it structures and implements with
a sophisticated service perspective, high
quality human resources, and advanced
information technology.
Seeking to be “the company that is the
most effective and successful implementer
of bancassurance” in the insurance industry,
Güneş Sigorta began to phase its new
technological infrastructure into service
in 2009.
Güneş Sigorta 2009 Annual Report
This new infrastructure will make it possible
for Güneş Sigorta to supply its insurance
products and services from A to Z on an
open platform that is integrated with webbased technology. The goal is to have this
comprehensive project, in the first stage
of which bancassurance production and
collection modules will be coming online
for specific products, completed by the end
of 2010.
As a result of this project, Güneş Sigorta’s
banking, agency, and broker sales channels
will be able to issue policies and surrender
them to customers within the framework
of regionally-defined authorities and by
means of processes which are completely
up to date, optimized, and backed by webbased applications. This will have the effect
of speeding up premium collections as
well. This new structure will increase Güneş
Sigorta’s competitive strength while also
providing effectiveness, productivity, and
speed and allowing it to offer its products
and services to broader customer groups.
Sales Support Team provided quick-access
offer and policy services to about 240 bank
branches located all over Turkey.
Accessible from anywhere in Turkey
Güneş Sigorta is an insurance company
with one of the most extensive sales
channels in Turkey.
Last year Güneş Sigorta served customers
through a total of 2,533 sales channels
consisting of:
• 1,667 special agencies
• 442 VakıfBank branches
• 271 other bank branches
• 94 customer entities
• 59 brokers.
Güneş Sigorta continued to collaborate
with Albaraka Türk, Anadolubank, and
Tekstilbank in the bancassurance business
line along with VakıfBank as well in 2009.
Developments in the corporate portfolio
Giving greater impetus to the expansion
of its corporate portfolio, Güneş Sigorta
continued to add new customers to it
last year. Major corporate customers such
as Turkish Airlines, İbrahim Bodur (Kale)
Holding AŞ, Yıldız Sunta MDF Orman
Ürünleri, Şölen Çikolata Gıda Sanayi Ticaret
AŞ, and Star Matbaa Sanayi ve Ticaret
AŞ were among the biggest corporate
institutions that chose Güneş Sigorta to
handle their insurance business in 2009.
Growth of productivity among financial
institutions
In 2009 Güneş Sigorta created a Central
Operations Service Point to deal with the
financial institutions with which it works in
the bancassurance business line.
Public tenders make up another focal point
for Güneş Sigorta. In 2009 the company
added such public institutions as İstanbul
Ulaşım AŞ (İstanbul’s municipal rail transit
authority) and TPAO (Turkish Petroleum
Corporation) to its portfolio.
To enable financial institutions to receive
faster and more effective service, highpotential bank branches were assigned the
“Key Branch” designation, thus enabling
them to obtain offer and policy services
directly from the Güneş Sigorta Call Center.

In 2009 once again Güneş
Sigorta maintained its
customer-focused
business approach
through new products
that it added to its
portfolio while meeting
customer demands
through a successful
product and service policy.
Having demonstrated its expertise in
bancassurance, Güneş Sigorta also enjoys
a long-standing reputation for being
strongly positioned in the agency/broker
sales channel as well and it intends to
pursue growth in this area. In line with
this aim, both infrastructure and staffing
have been overhauled and strategies
have been identified whereby long-term
relationships with agencies and brokers
may be further developed.
Agency relationships based mutual trust
and productivity
Güneş Sigorta enjoys a long-standing
reputation for being strongly positioned in
the agency and broker sales channel as well
and it intends to pursue growth in this area.
In line with this aim, both infrastructure
and staffing have been overhauled and
strategies have been identified whereby
long-term relationships with agencies
and brokers may be further developed.
When establishing relationships with new
agencies and brokers, Güneş Sigorta is
determined to be selective in its approach
and not to deviate from its traditional
policies.
Insurance sales consultants and
operational sales consultants in-charge
In 2008 and 2009, Güneş Sigorta’s regional
sales organization was restructured and
111 insurance sales consultants (ISC) and
49 operational sales consultants (OSC)
were assigned to duties throughout the
company. All 111 of the first group were
provided with a total of 110 days of
training in the areas of effective telephone
communication skills, coaching skills, and
effective time management under the
company’s Competency Development
Program.
Under the new structure, a sales
consultancy system has been created in
which each insurance sales consultant is
matched to about 30 sales channels on
average.
The basic duties of insurance sales
consultants are to manage relations and
communication with sales channels,
ensure that agencies and customers are
provided with perfect service, and support
overall portfolio development. Operational
sales consultants provide agencies with
operational support whenever they may
need it once a sale has been made.
One hundred eleven sales consultants made
a total of 21,000 visits during the conduct
of their nationwide activities throughout
Turkey in 2009.
23
Güneş Sigorta 2009 Annual Report
Giving impetus to the expansion of its corporate portfolio,
Güneş Sigorta continued to add new customers to it last year.
2009 was a year of productivity and
competency development for agencies
Under the Agency Competency
Development Program, a total of 1,029
Güneş Sigorta agencies were provided
with 74 days of training in issues related
to sales-marketing techniques, general
accounting, and company management. A
total of 659 agencies also received 123 days
of training in basic insurance subjects.
Relationships with agencies
By means of a number of new practices
introduced in 2009, Güneş Sigorta sought
to strengthen its agency relationships and
to augment their participatory structure
by increasing the synergies among
headquarters, regional offices, and agencies.
The activities undertaken in this direction
last year are
• Special Agency Satisfaction Evaluation
System (March 2009)
• Agency Performance Evaluation System
• Successful Agencies Budapest Trip (27-30
May 2009)
• Successful Bank Branches Budapest Trip
(25-28 June 2009)
• General Agency Assembly (1-3 October
2009)
• Leaders Summit Loyalty Program Launch
(18 December 2009)
• Agencies Council (18 December 2009).
A product line that can be shaped by
customer needs
In today’s market, which is constantly being
shaped by customer needs and demands,
“change” is the most important prerequisite
for service providers wishing to maintain
their competitive strength and to ensure
their sustainable growth.
Güneş Sigorta supplies insurance products
to customers in the Fire, Accident, Marine,
Engineering, Agriculture, Health, Credit,
and Turkish Catastrophe Insurance Pool
(TCIP) branches. In order to meet the
diversified needs of different customers,
various activities are required to be realized
successfully. In 2009 once again Güneş
Sigorta maintained its customer-focused
business approach through new products
that it added to its portfolio while meeting
customer demands through a successful
product and service policy.
Güneş Sigorta seeks to achieve customer
satisfaction through effective claims
management
Improvements in claims management
processes and a painstaking, leading,
solution-focused, and prompt approach
distinguish Güneş Sigorta from its
competitors.
When risks materialize, Güneş Sigorta
accepts claims-related notifications via its
Customer Satisfaction Line and its Claims
Reporting Line on +90 212 4441957. It
then immediately enters them into its file
tracking system.
Compensation payments, which the
company processes in line with its
customer-focused service approach, are
made through the electronic funds transfer
system that is state-of-the-art technology.
Güneş Sigorta makes sure that its
policyholders have convenient access
to its services through 950 contractual
claims service points and 1,491 contractual
medical establishments (272 hospitals, 213
ambulatory treatment centers, 35 physical
treatment centers, 69 diagnosis centers, 74
laboratories, 627 pharmacies, 195 doctors’
surgeries, and 4 ambulance services).
Relations with reinsurers
Major international reinsurers continued
to support Güneş Sigorta in 2009 on an
ever-increasing basis. As a requirement of
its overall reinsurance policy, Güneş Sigorta
only works with reinsurers whose financial
structures are strong and whose ratings
are high.
Güneş Sigorta 2009 Annual Report
24
Güneş Sigorta in 2009
In 2009 Güneş Sigorta’s main objectives
in this area were to manage its existing
reinsurance programs in line with
medium- and long-term strategies taking
the company’s market position in 2010
into account as well while also coming up
with financial optimization solutions and
including new reinsurers in the program
through the participation of existing
ones in treaties. 2010-year renewals were
successfully completed in line with targets
while it is expected that the addition of eight
new reinsurers to the company’s treaties will
provide advantages in future years.
8 new reinsurers:
• Mitsui Sumitomo (AA; S&P)
• MAAF Assurance SA (A; S&P)
• GIC India (A-; AM Best)
• Triglav Re (A; S&P)
• ARAB Re (B+; AM Best)
• Asia Capital Re (A-; S&P)
• Sompo Japan (A+; AM Best)
• Korean Re (A-; AM Best)
Actuarial and Technical Data Analysis
Department
The Güneş Sigorta Actuarial and Technical
Data Analysis Department was established
in October 2009. Actuarial competency
is a matter of vital concern for insurance
companies and is also of importance from
the standpoint of legal compliance as well.
Actuarial science is a professional discipline
whose aim is to provide advice and
guidance on such matters as determining
prices based on risk, setting aside reserves
as required by law, and calculating
compensation based on accurate statistical
considerations.
The underlying goals in setting up the
Güneş Sigorta Actuarial and Technical Data
Analysis Department were to ensure that
all actuarial activities within the company
are carried out by a single unit responsible
for providing its actuaries and managers
with the information they require and to
undertake a variety of projects related to
such issues. In order to accomplish this,
it is necessary to keep a close watch on
technological needs as well as on laws and
regulations applicable to the company’s
actuarial obligations. This newly-formed
department will be carrying out its activities
effectively in 2010 as well.
Internal Control and Risk Management
Department
In 2009, in Güneş Sigorta, Internal Control
and Risk Management Department, which is
responsible for the risk management system
of Güneş Sigorta, was founded in addition
to Internal Auditing Department.
During 2009, company personnel were
given training in internal control issues in
order to increase their awareness on the
internal control system. A report concerning
Güneş Sigorta’s level of compliance
with the requirements of Regulations
pertaining to the internal systems of
insurance, reinsurance, and pension
companies published by the Prime Ministry
(Undersecretariat of Treasury) was written up
and sent to the undersecretary in CD format.
Financial Crimes Investigation Boardrelated activities
As required by Regulations concerning
program compliance with obligations
to Laundering Proceeds of Crime and
Preventing of Terrorist Financing, Güneş
Sigorta appointed a compliance officer at
the company in 2009.
A company policy concerning this issue
has been forwarded to the Financial Crimes
Investigation Board. The Güneş Sigorta
compliance officer provided informational
training to 384 company personnel and to
273 agencies within the framework of a
training calendar prepared at headquarters
and in all regional offices.
As required, insured party identification
procedures are followed on all policies
worth TL 20,000 or more and the
information so obtained is recorded for
archival purposes.

Contributions to the Development of
Insurance Awareness
“Güneş Ekonomi Buluşmaları (Güneş
Economics Get-Togethers)”’
The objective of the “Güneş Ekonomi
Buluşmaları” series of meetings that Güneş
Sigorta organizes jointly with the CNBC-e
TV channel is to create platforms on which
agencies, manufacturers, and businessmen in
cities where they are held can come together,
exchange ideas, and discuss the common
problems, expectations, and proposals of
the insurance industry and of industrial and
commercial circles together with the public
at large. Wherever the meetings under this
project are held, leading local businessmen
and Güneş Sigorta’s Chief Executive Manager
İlker Aycı take part in “Krize Direnen Kentler”
that is broadcast by CNBC-e. Following the
broadcast, panel discussions are held in
which representatives of local businessmen,
manufacturers, and insurers take part. The
first meeting conducted in this carefully
crafted series took place in Kayseri in
November and it was followed by meetings
in Denizli (December), Gaziantep (January),
Bursa (February), and Kocaeli (March). The
last meeting in the series took place on 27
April 2010 as a joint undertaking with the
İstanbul Chamber of Commerce.
Participating speakers in the meetings
included Mustafa Boydak (Vice Chairman of
Boydak Holding and President of the Kayseri
Chamber of Industry), Nihat Zeybekci (Mayor
of Denizli), Necdet Özer (President of the
Denizli Chamber of Commerce), Abdulkadir

Farmers’ crops protected by Güneş Sigorta’s
“Early Warning System”
The “Early Warning System” developed by
Güneş Sigorta to help protect greenhouse
cultivators’ crops against losses caused by
frost risk was first installed and put into the
service of farmers in the village of Alaylı
in Antalya’s Aksu county. A meteorological
information system that was launched
along with this project is now planned
for expansion to encompass all of Turkey.
The Güneş Sigorta Early Warning System
operates on the principle of giving farmers
warning in enough time to take necessary
precautions the moment that the ambient
air temperature falls below a specified value.
“Frost” coverage is now being provided for
orchards through the Agricultural Insurance
Pool System. Farmers’ compensation
payments when frost risks materialize are
effected in line with reports issued by the
meteorological stations in the county seats
of the places where the insured orchards are
located.
By means of this system, which Güneş
Sigorta put into service for the first time in
Turkey at Alaylı village, the company has
also launched an information dissemination
project that it plans to extend throughout
the whole country. This project, whose aims

the children who are the guarantees of our
future in 2010 as well.

Under its project to reach schools that lack
libraries of their own, Güneş Sigorta provides
meaningful support for education by
supplying schools with collections of books
selected from Turkish and world literature
along with bookcases for them. Another
objective of this campaign is to cultivate the
habit of reading among children from an
early age in our country, where the habit of
Ebru classes and exhibition
Last year Güneş Sigorta organized classes in
the art of traditional Turkish marbling (ebru)
as a way of helping its employees cast off

conducted at the company’s headquarters
and at its Kadıköy, Merkez, Ege, and Trakya
regional offices from March 21st to April
18th, not only reminded their participants
about traditional Turkish arts but also
contributed towards a greater awareness
and appreciation of them. Following the ebru
classes, an exhibition was held from August
3rd to 9th at the Cezayir Exhibition Hall in
which a total of 200 works were displayed

The solar energy plant installed at Güneş
Sigorta headquarters generated 10,282.32
kWh of electricity in its first year.
The first private sector venture of its kind
in Turkey, the solar energy plant installed at
the headquarters building of Güneş Sigorta
located in the Esentepe district of İstanbul
has been generating electricity for over a
year now. Since it was commissioned on
13 March 2009, the plant has generated
10,282.32 kWh of electricity.
The project creates a reduction in
greenhouse gas emissions corresponding
to 7.19 tons of CO2 a year. That amount
is equal to the emissions that would be
generated by traveling 11,282 kms in vehicles
powered by fossil fuels. To absorb the
same amount of CO2 gas, 719 trees would
be required. Information about the daily
output of the solar energy plant and the
carbon dioxide emissions that it prevents is
provided for the company’s stakeholders on
the Güneş Sigorta website located at www.

c. Technical Reserves
Unearned premiums reserve, unexpired risk reserves, outstanding claims reserve and reinsurance share of these provisions and equalization
reserves in financial statements are recognized based on the below principles in accordance with the Insurance Law effective at June 14,
2007 and the requirements set out in the Decree “Technical Provisions of Insurance and Reinsurance Companies and Pension Funds and
Assets Held For Such Provisions” issued in the Official Gazette No: 26606 on August 7, 2007 and effective on January 1, 2008.
Unearned Premium Reserves: Unearned premium reserve is carried forward portion of unearned net premiums written in the current period
and is calculated on a daily pro-rata basis. Previously, unearned premium reserve was calculated on net retained premiums written except
the earthquake guarantees given in fire and engineering insurance branches, net of commissions. However, the Circular “Compliance of
Technical Provisioning Insurance and Reinsurance Companies and Pension Funds with the Legal Provisions of Insurance Law No:5684”
issued by the Undersecretariat of the Treasury on July 4, 2007 ceased the application of deducting the earthquake premiums in the
calculation of unearned premium reserve for insurance policies prepared subsequent to June 14, 2007.
Net of commissions application has been ceased in the calculation of unearned premium reserve of the insurance policies prepared after
January 1, 2008 in accordance with the Decree “Technical Provisions of Insurance and Reinsurance Companies and Pension Funds and Assets
Held for Such Provisions”. Carried forward portions of commissions paid to intermediaries, commissions received due to the premiums ceded
to reinsurers, production expense shares and the amount paid for non- proportional reinsurance treaty agreements under new account
codes, while the related income and expenses in the current period should be recognized under the old account codes. In accordance with
the related Decree, for the transportation policies issued after January 1, 2008 with indefinite expiration dates, 50% of the remaining
portion of the premiums accrued in the last three months is provided as unearned premium reserves.
Following the above-mentioned amendments, the Company has calculated a deferred expense amounting to TL 47,597,273 and deferred
commission income amounting to TL 34,737,940 as of December 31, 2009. (December 31, 2008: a deferred expense amounting to TL
45,593,759 and deferred commission income amounting to TL 31,644,841.)
Unexpired Risk Reserve: Insurance companies are required to provide unexpired risk reserves for insurance branches of which are
inconsistent with the risk level assumed over the insurance period and the distribution of premiums earned over time in accordance
with the Decree “Technical Provisions of Insurance and Reinsurance Companies and Pension Funds and Assets Held for Such Provisions”.
Insurance companies are also required to provide unexpired risk reserves if unearned premium reserve is inadequate for the Company’s risks
and estimated expenses. In accordance with the Decree, insurance companies should apply an adequacy test covering the last 12 months for
each period for the possibility of exceeding claim compensations from existing insurance contracts against the unearned premium reserves
provided for these contracts. The related Decree, which was published in the Official Gazette No: 26674 on October 18, 2007, requires the
multiplication of unearned premium reserves by the estimated claim premium ratio in adequacy test application. Estimated claim premium
ratio is calculated by dividing the occurred claims (outstanding claims (net) + claims paid (net) – outstanding claims reversal (net)) into
earned premiums (premiums written (net) + carried forward unearned premiums reserve (net) – unearned premiums reserve (net)). In
addition, if the estimated claim premium ratio exceeds 100% in 2008 and 95% in future periods for the estimated claim premium ratio of
insurance branches that will be determined by the Undersecretariat of Treasury, the amount calculated subsequent to the multiplication of
the exceeding rate by unearned premiums reserve will be used in the calculation of unexpired risks reserve of the related branch.
In accordance with the Circular issued by the Undersecretariat of the Treasury on November 6, 2007, unexpired risks reserve should be
calculated for each sub-branches specified in the Insurance Uniform Chart of Accounts.
The Company has calculated TL 57,049 of unexpired risks reserve in health branch, TL 2,569,503 of unexpired risks reserve in Traffic, TL
31,726 of unexpired risks reserve in Employer’s Liability, TL 46,321 of unexpired risks reserve in Bottle gas, TL 129,480 of unexpired risks
reserve in Machine Damage as a result of the adequacy test as of December 31, 2009. (December 31, 2008: TL 2,268,314)
Outstanding Claims Reserve: Companies are required to provide outstanding claim reserve for the outstanding claims which are reported
but not paid as of the prior period and current period - end or realized estimated cost and realized but not reported if this amount could
not be calculated. As calculation of outstanding claims reserve, all share of expenses including calculated or estimated expert, consultant,
lawsuit and communication expenses which are necessary being perfected to indemnity files are considered.

As Outstanding claim reserve, amount subject to lawsuit is considered for legal follow-up for the claim suits. However, If excess of claims
except default interest which required by insurance policyholders, legal charges, lawyer payment over insurance agreement guarantee limit,
the company must deduct over portion from outstanding claims amount. Expertise report despite amount subject to lawsuit, outstanding
claims reserve is determined as adding accrued default interest, lawyer payment and other expenses to claim amount which detected based

Companies and Pension Funds and Assets Held For Such Provisions” published in the Official Gazette No: 26606 on 7 August 2007, insurance
companies should consider the weighted average ratio calculated by dividing the claims incurred prior to the related periods but reported
after the related period for the last 5 years or over, after the deduction of subrogation, salvage and other related incomes, to the related
periods’ premium, in the calculation of incurred but not reported claims. The current period’s incurred but not reported claim should be
measured by multiplying the weighted average ratio by the total premium production for 12 months prior to the current period.
The Company has TL 11,469,277 Subrogation and Salvage Income deducted from Outstanding Claims Reserve as a result above-mentioned
calculations as of December 31, 2009. (December 31, 2008: TL 11,613,246) Reinsurance Share deducted from Subrogation and Salvage
Income amounts to TL 2,227,819 (December 31, 2008: TL 1,976,607)
In accordance with the Decree “Technical Provisions of Insurance and Reinsurance Companies and Pension Funds and Assets Held For Such
Provisions” published in the Official Gazette No: 26606 on 7 August 2007, insurance companies should consider the weighted average ratio
calculated by dividing the claims incurred prior to the related periods but reported after the related period for the last 5 years or over, after
the deduction of subrogation, salvage and other related incomes, to the related periods’ premium, in the calculation of incurred but not
reported claims. The current period’s incurred but not reported claim should be measured by multiplying the weighted average ratio by the
total premium production for 12 months prior to the current period.
As of December 31, 2009 The Company calculated and accounted net TL 34,429,710 incurred but not reported claims in the accompanying
financial statements, (December 31, 2008: TL 31,700,577)
Outstanding Claims Reserve Adequacy Difference
Insurance companies are required to prepare an adequacy table for their outstanding claims reserve at the end of each period using
the format designated by the Undersecretariat of the Treasury and such companies are also required to present the tables to the
Undersecretariat of the Treasury. The Undersecretariat of the Treasury denotes that an adequacy table should present the outstanding
claim adequacy ratio, which is the proportion of outstanding claim reserves provided for the last 5 years to the total of actually paid claims
including all expense shares in relation to the related claims. If the average of the last five years’ outstanding claim adequacy ratio, except
for the current year, is below 95%, in order to calculate the adequacy ratio, the difference is multiplied by the current year’s outstanding
claim reserve.
The Company calculated and accounted extra reserve amounting to TL 6,910,942 for branches which outstanding claim adequacy ratio is
below 95%. (December 31, 2008: 9,396,609)
Actuarial Chain Method
In accordance with Article 7(6) of the Decree “Technical Provisions of Insurance and Reinsurance Companies and Pension Funds and Assets
Held For Such Provisions” published in the Official Gazette No: 26606 on August 7, 2007, outstanding claim reserve provided for the current

compensation rates and to cover the catastrophic risks in subsequent periods. Also, in accordance with the related article, equalization
reserves should be calculated as 12% of the earthquake and credit net premiums of each year and amounts paid for non-proportional
reinsurance contracts should be considered as premiums ceded in the calculation of net premium, and companies should continue to
provide reserves to the extent that reserves exceed 150% of the maximum amount of net premiums received in the last five financial
periods.
The Company has provided TL 4,036,984 (December 31, 2008; TL 1,834,561) of equalization reserve as of December 31, 2009 for the current

annual reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.
Acquired computer software licenses are capitalized on the basis of the costs incurred from the date of acquisition to the date to bring the
specific software in use. These costs are amortized over their estimated useful lives.

associated with the development of identifiable and unique software products that are controlled by the Company and will probably provide
more economic benefits than costs in one year are recognized as intangible assets. Costs include software development employee costs and

useful lives.
2.8 Financial Assets
Classification: Financial assets are classified in the financial statements into the following specified categories: financial assets as “at fair
value through profit or loss” (FVTPL), “held-to-maturity investments”, “available-for-sale’ (AFS) financial assets and “loans and receivables”.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset can be classified as financial asset
at fair value through profit and loss, if it is acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short-term. Derivatives are also classified
as held for trading unless they are designated as hedging instruments. Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss are classified as
current assets.
Investments other than held-to-maturity debt securities or financial assets as “at fair value through profit or loss” are classified as either
investments held for trading or a available-for-sale, Trade receivables, loans, and other receivables that are not quoted in an active market
are classified as ‘loans and receivables’.
Valuation: Initially, a financial asset and liability is accounted with “fair value”. A financial asset’s “fair value” is the “cost value” when
accounted at the first time. Subsequently, financial assets are accounted by “fair value” (Effective interest method for held-to-maturity
investments) as of balance sheet dates. Available- for- sale investments that have a quoted market price in an active market are carried at
fair value which is determined by reference to the Istanbul Stock Exchange quoted bid prices.
Investments other than held-to-maturity debt securities are classified as either investments held for trading or as available-for-sale, and
are measured at subsequent reporting dates at fair value except available-for-sale investments that do not have quoted prices in an active
market and their fair values cannot be reliably measured are stated at cost and restated to the equivalent purchasing power.
Where securities are held for trading purposes (FVTPL), gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are included in profit or loss for
the period. For available-for-sale investments, gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognized directly in equity, until the
security is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in equity is included
in the profit or loss for the period.
Profit or loss which is calculated with effective interest method is accounted in the income statement. Dividends from available-for-sale
financial assets are also accounted in the income statement.
Loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

(Amounts expressed in Turkish Lira (TL) unless otherwise stated.)
Impairment of financial assets
The Company assesses its financial assets, other than those at financial assets at fair value through profit and loss, at each balance sheet
date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets classified as held-to-maturity, available- forsale or loans and receivables is impaired. A financial asset or portfolio of financial assets is impaired and an impairment loss incurred if there
is objective evidence that an event or events since initial recognition of the asset have adversely affected the amount or timing of future
cash flows from the asset.
For loans and receivables, the amount of the impairment is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of
estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate.
The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial except for trade receivables where the
carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable is uncollectible, it is written off against the
allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognized in profit or loss.
With the exception of available-for-sale equity instruments, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the
decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss
is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not
exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized.
For available-for-sale equity securities, any increase in fair value subsequent to an impairment loss is recognized directly in equity.
2.9. Impairment of Assets
Assets that have an indefinite useful life, for example goodwill, are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment.
Assets that are subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds
its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of
assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units).
Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting
date.

Loans acquired are booked at cost less transaction costs. Loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest
method, less any impairment. Differences between loan amounts (excluding transaction costs) and reimbursement are booked the income
statements during the loans payments.
For assets that need substantial time to be ready for use or sale, borrowing costs are capitalized based on the Company’s accounting policy.
2.18. Taxations
The tax liability includes, current tax and deferred tax.
Current Tax:
The current tax payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the income statement because
it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable
or deductible. The Company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the
balance sheet date.
Deferred Tax: Deferred assets and liabilities are recognized on temporary differences between booked values and tax values in accordance
with tax legislation as of the balance sheet date. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences
and deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will
be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such assets and liabilities are not recognized if the
temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and
liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable
that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset
when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes
levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
Deferred tax asset is accounted if the statutory loss carry forwards and tax advantages of the Company could be deducted from the
probable future taxable income.

Notes to Financial Statements as of December 31, 2009
(Amounts expressed in Turkish Lira (TL) unless otherwise stated.)
Current and deferred tax: Current and deferred tax are recognized as an expense or income in profit or loss, except when they relate to
items credited or debited directly to equity, in which case the tax is also recognized directly in equity, or where they arise from the initial
accounting for a business combination.
2.19 Provision for employment termination benefits
Under the Turkish law and union agreements, lump sum payments are made to employees retiring or involuntarily leaving the Group. Such
payments are considered as being part of defined retirement benefit plan in accordance with IAS 19 “Employee Benefits”.
The retirement benefit obligation recognized in the balance sheet represents the present value of the defined benefit obligation as adjusted
for unrecognized actuarial gains and losses. Retirement pay provision and accrued holiday pay are TL 4,974,510 and TL 1,637,918 as of
December 31, 2009. (December 31, 2008: TL 4,677,388 and TL 1,753,159)
2.20. Provision
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that the Company will
be required to settle that obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the balance
sheet date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows
estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.
When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, the receivable
is recognized as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured
reliably.
No provision is calculated for future operational expenses.
2.21. Revenue recognition
Premium income represents premiums on policies written during the year. Unearned premiums, set aside to provide for the period of risk
extending beyond the end of the financial year, are determined from premiums written during the year on a daily pro-rata basis.
Interest income is booked effective interest methods. Dividend income from the equity share investments are recognized when the
shareholder has the right to receive dividends.
Outstanding claims reserve is provided for the outstanding claims reported but not paid and not reported but paid as of the period-end.
Reinsurance shares of outstanding claims are offset under the outstanding claims reserve.
2.22. Lease obligations
Assets acquired under finance lease are depreciated over their expected useful lives by using the straight-line method based on Turkish
Accounting Standards (TMS 17 “Lease Transactions”).Their interest and exchange difference expenses are reflected in income statements.
Lease payment expenses are booked separately in equal amounts during the period.
There is no paid-up fine to lessee and accounted as expense, in case the leasing contract which is canceled before the leasing term

2.23.Earnings per share and profit share distribution
Earnings per share presented in the income statement is calculated by dividing the net profit into the weighted average number of the
outstanding shares throughout the financial year.
Companies in Turkey can increase their capital by distributing “bonus shares” to shareholders from the prior periods’ profit. Such “bonus
share” distributions are considered as issued shares in the earnings per share calculations. Accordingly, weighted average number of equity
shares used in the calculations is calculated by considering the retrospective effects of share distributions.
There is no distributed bonus share by the company in current period.
There are no liabilities for dividend announced subsequent to balance sheet date.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND REQUIREMENTS
Company management should make estimates about possible liabilities and commitments which effect reported assets and liabilities at
balance sheet date and income and expenses amounts regarding report period when preparing financial statements. Realized results could
be different from estimates. Estimates are under consideration regularly and significant amendments in accounting policies and detected
significant bookkeeping errors are applied retrospectively and prior period financial statements are reordered. If amendments in accounting
estimates are only for one period, applied to current period of the amendments made, if it is for future periods, applied to current period of
the amendments made and future period as forward looking.

The Company’s capital structure consists of equity items which include issued shares, reserves and retained earnings, respectively. Company
takes possession of using its capital as a financial resource. Outsource financing is not preferred except to raise up spot credit in order to
pay its tax and social security premiums. While the Company maintains to continue its capital management on a going concern basis, it
expects to boost its earnings by optimizing its technical reserve and equity balance.

•
•
Developing methods creating strategic competitive power
Designing risk management processes, bases and reporting systems
Improving current systems
Bringing risk management practices in line with legal arrangements
Effective risk management determines impacts of different risks interactive to each other upon cash flows, income and assets structure. As
operational risks lie at the roots of all risks experienced by the Company, risk management should be integrated with strategic decisions.
Therefore financial risk assessments are carried out in accordance with strategic plans formulated on quantitative basis covering 20072011. The strategic plan was broken down into sub-targets monitored by balance scorecards. This process is aimed at ensuring corporate
efficiency, removing deficiencies in technological equipments and communication, achieving going concern, boosting capital structure,
securing transparency, producing financial statements based on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), establishing corporate
risk culture and identifying and managing potential risks. International measurements touching capital adequacy take effect from 2007
at the behest of Turkish Treasury. Accordingly, both reserve and capital adequacy is measured regularly and increased in accordance with
strategic plans.
4.2.2. Information on Capital Adequacy
The Company prepares capital adequacy table on 6th and 12th month in accordance with the “Regulation Pertaining to the Measuring and
Assessment of the Capital Adequacy of Insurance and Reinsurance as well as Retirement Companies- Documents” published on the Official

Fair value of financial assets:
Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s
length transaction. The Company determines the estimated fair value of its financial instruments by using the current market information
and appropriate valuation methods. Additionally, ability to estimate the market values through assessing the market information requires
interpretation and judgment. As a result, the estimations presented herein cannot be an indicator of the amounts obtained by the Company
in a current market transaction.
The following methods and assumptions are used in fair value estimations for financial instruments of which their fair value cannot be
practically measured:
Financial assets:
It is anticipated that fair value of the financial assets including cash and cash equivalents and other financial assets carried at cost will
approximate to their book value based on their short term nature and having insignificant potential losses.
Market value is taken as a basis in the measurement of fair value of government bonds and equity shares.
Financial liabilities:
It is anticipated that fair value of monetary liabilities will approximate to their carrying value based on their short term nature.

Güneş Sigorta 2009 Annual Report
Güneş Sigorta A.Ş.
Notes to Financial Statements as of December 31, 2009
(Amounts expressed in Turkish Lira (TL) unless otherwise stated.)
The provision has been calculated by estimating the present value of the future probable obligation of the Company arising from the
retirement of employees. IAS 19 (“Employee Benefits”) requires actuarial valuation methods to be developed to estimate the enterprise’s
obligation under defined benefit plans. Accordingly, the following actuarial assumptions were used in the calculation of the total liability:
The principal assumption is that the maximum liability for each year of service will increase parallel with inflation. Thus, the discount rate
applied represents the expected real rate after adjusting for the anticipated effects of future inflation. Consequently, in the accompanying
financial statements as at December 31, 2009, the provision has been calculated by estimating the present value of the future probable
obligation of the Company arising from the retirement of the employees. The provisions at the respective balance sheet dates have been
calculated assuming an annual inflation rate of 5.40% and a discount rate of 12%, resulting in a real discount rate of approximately 6.26%
(31 December 2008: 5%, 11% and 5.71%, respectively). The anticipated rate of forfeitures is considered and estimated rate of the Company’s
retirement pay is also taken into account. As the maximum liability is updated semi annually.
Additionally, the Company makes provision for holiday pays not used by the employees as of balance sheet date which is added as a liability
to employee termination benefits in financial statements.
Details of provision for employment termination benefits are as follows;

Risk Management Policies
The objective of the Risk Management System is to define, measure, monitor and control risk through policies that are drawn up to track,
keep under control and if necessary, change the structure of risk and earnings that will be yielded by the Company’s future cash flow and
related activities, through the use of different methods and limits.
Insurance Risk
These are insurance policy risks and can be classified as risk related to the choice of assets to be insured, to whether insurance premiums
have been determined at a level that will cover future claims, the occurrence of unforeseen risks in the preparation stage of the policy or
an inaccurate estimation made regarding claims on expected risk, changes in the conditions of the economic environment, claims to be
retained by the Company due to catastrophic risks or concentrated risks arising from insufficient spreading of risk, unforeseen behavior of
the insured or the inadequacy of provisions set aside in the financial statement to cover the claims of insurance company policy-holders.
Market conditions, reinsurance agreements, endorsements, profitability and sustainable growth goals are considered in their entirety in the
drawing up of insurance payment schedules and individual pricing.
Based on the experience gained from reinsurance treaties and previous claims each year, the Company’s technical service departments
determine a set of Risk Acceptance Principles by which the conditions for accepting risk are determined on the agency, regional office and
Head Office levels.
The principles of implementation, which include the principles of risk acceptance, are then set out in a booklet defining the conditions under
which insurance products can be sold and not sold as well as to whom and how. The booklet is distributed to the sales channels.
Compliance Audit is carried out the principles, which were determined by audit activities during the year.
Before coverage is provided at business branches or in areas of settlement that have exceeded predetermined amounts and/or are seen
to represent a risk, upon the request of the technical departments, specialized risk engineers provide support in creating the appropriate
insurance conditions by carrying out a risk analysis and reviewing every kind of insurable asset which will be under coverage, if necessary,
reassessing insurance value. The sole method of risk transfer is reinsurance. After reviewing the Company’s customer portfolio, insurance
policies, previous claim statistics, the volume of business expected for the next year, the structure of shareholder’s equity and current
market conditions, the Reinsurance and Special Risks Department and senior management together determine retention ratios and treaty
conditions on the basis of each branch.
Risks that exceed the treaty conditions and capacities that are within the scope of reinsurance agreements or risks that have the potential of
disrupting the treaty balance of the Company are covered with the support of domestic and international facultative reinsurances.
Minimally potential risks with significant impact beyond the control of the Company (as in the case of earthquakes, floods, fires, etc.)
are reviewed in terms of concentrated risk status, a possible risk estimate is made and transferred to reinsurers. Provisions for unearned
premiums, outstanding claims reserves and the reinsurer shares and balancing provisions shown among the technical insurance accounts
on the financial statements, are set aside in accordance with Insurance Law and the Regulations on the Technical Provisions of Insurance,
Reinsurance and Pension Companies and the Assets for which these Provisions are to be invested.

Güneş Sigorta A.Ş.
Risk Management Policies
Credit Risk
These are risks related to insured entities and agencies that have premium or claim debts to the Company, or risks related to fulfillment of
obligations of the insured, insurers abroad or co-assurers in the case of fronting transactions, or risks related to the payment ability of the
third parties in the case of non-insurance-based movables or immovables or equity investments.
Since the best interests of the insured may only be protected with a strong financial structure, collection on premium receivables from the
insured and from the agencies is promptly carried out by the Collections Department which has been reorganized as the Collection Service
under the Financial Affairs Group Management in the head office. In the reorganization, the processes and limits of authority in the head
office and in the regional offices have been redefined.
Credit grades are considered in the selection of reinsurers as well as the effects of market conditions on these credit grades.
Redundant cashes are assessed in terms, which not causing to delay in compensation payments, on the other hand they are invested in
domestic government bonds and assessed in repos and deposits to get maximum return.
Market Risk
This refers to risks that arise from changes in financial market interest rates, stock prices, foreign exchange rates, etc. which have an effect
on the receivables and debts of the insurer. This type of risk may also stem from the time elapsing between the collection of receivables and
the fulfillment of obligations.
The cash flow of the Company is monitored on a daily and monthly basis and assets and liabilities management is carried out through the
monitoring of the balance sheet in terms of maturity mismatches and foreign currency positions. Claims payments that exceed a determined
significant part of the Company’s cash flow are carefully reviewed by the Claims Management Department. Claims are paid out as soon as
possible, avoiding the ballooning impact of inflation on claim costs.
Liquidity Risk
This is the risk that stems from the inadequacy of liquid assets in the payment of claims. While resources set aside for this purpose are
invested in time deposits to avoid delays in claims payments, on the other hand, some investments are made in domestic government bonds,
repos and deposits that bring in maximum yield.
Operational Risk
This is risk of loss that arises from inadequate or unsuccessful internal processes, people, systems and external events.
All transactions carried out throughout the Company have been described and updated in written procedures. Powers and responsibilities
have been determined and employees are notified through the channels of communication of strategic decisions made by the Company.
Laundering Proceeds of Crime and Preventing of Terrorist Financing
A company policy has been drawn up with respect to identifying customers connected with transactions involving money laundering
and the financing of terrorism. Transactions carrying probable risk in this respect have been pinpointed and training in this area has been
organized for employees and agencies. Customer acceptance guidelines and doubtful transactions have been determined and a system
of internal control, reporting and communication set up to facilitate the operations of the Internal Auditing Department and compliance
officer in their identification, uncovering and avoidance of doubtful transactions before they occur.
