TÜRK HAVA YOLLARI ANONİM ORTAKLIĞINOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER, 20092. BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont’d)2.5 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d)2.5.8 <strong>Financial</strong> Instruments (Cont’d)a) <strong>Financial</strong> assets (cont’d)Effective interest methodThe effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial asset and ofallocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactlydiscounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset, or whereappropriates a shorter period.Income is recognized on an effective interest basis for held-to-maturity investments, available-for-salefinancial assets and loans and receivables.Loans and receivablesTrade and other receivables are initially recorded at fair value. At subsequent periods, loans andreceivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.Impairment of financial assets<strong>Financial</strong> assets, other than those at fair value through profit or loss are assessed for indicator ofimpairment at each balance sheet date.<strong>Financial</strong> assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that as a result of one or more events thatoccurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset the estimated future cash flows of theinvestment have been impacted. For loans and receivables the amount of the impairment is the differencebetween the assets carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at theoriginal effective interest rate.The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financialassets with the exception trade receivables where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of anallowance account. When a trade receivable is uncollectible, it is written off against the allowanceaccount. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously recognize written of fare credited against theallowance account are recognized in profit or loss.With the exception of available for sale equity instruments, if, in a subsequent period the amount of theimpairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after theimpairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or lossto the extent the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceedwhat the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized. In respect of availablefor sale equity securities, any increase in fair value subsequent to an impairment loss is recognizeddirectly in equity.18
