HISTORYDoğuş REIT launched operations on July 25, 1997, under the title of Osmanlı REIT and held its IPO on March 25, 1998, as the third real estate investment trust to be traded on the Istanbul Stock Exchange.

By the end of 2001, two Doğuş Group companies, Osmanlı Bank and Garanti Bank merged. With this transaction, 51 percent of the Osmanlı REIT shares were transferred to Garanti Bank and the company became a subsidiary of Garanti Bank under the title Garanti REIT.

Garanti REIT laid the foundations of its first residential project, EVIDEA, in November 2004. Developed on a 34,000 square meters of land plot, the EVIDEA Project featured a total construction area of 101,000 square meters, including a residential area of 73,000 square meters and social facilities of 24,500 square meters. All residential units within the Evidea Project were delivered to their owners by the year-end 2007, thanks to the combined experience of Garanti REIT and Yapı Kredi Koray in real estate development and financing.

In June 2005, Garanti REIT began constructing the Doğuş Center Maslak project in Maslak, Istanbul. Doğuş Center Maslak has a total area of 63,202 square meters, of which 47,398 square meters is rentable space. Doğuş Center Maslak was opened on November 9, 2006.

When Garanti Bank sold its shares in Garanti REIT to General Electric (GE) Capital Corporation and Doğuş Group, the company’s shareholder structure changed on December 1, 2006, as 25.5 percent Doğuş Group, 25.5 percent GE, and 49 percent public. Its new trade name was registered as Doğuş-GE REIT.

In January 2011, General Electric (GE) Capital Corporation sold all of its shares in Doğuş-GE REIT to Doğuş Group and the company’s shareholder structure became 51 percent Doğuş Group and 49 percent publicly-traded. On the same date, the company’s trade name was changed to Doğuş REIT.

On December 26, 2013, with a partial division transaction, the Gebze Center Shopping Mall was added to the real estate investment portfolio of Doğuş REIT. Doğuş Real Estate Investment Management Co. invested $180 million to construct the Gebze Center Shopping Mall from August 2008 until September 3, 2010. The Mall incorporates 59,054 square meters of rentable space and around 130 stores.

Upon the inclusion of Gebze Center Shopping Mall in Doğuş REIT’s real estate investment portfolio, a mixed living center concept was developed which entailed extension of the shopping mall and construction of additional buildings and also a hotel. The construction permit for the extension project was obtained on February 20, 2015. This project was built on a construction area of 46,100 square meters, to include a 156-room hotel, commercial units, an automotive showroom, and service facilities.

In all of rental relations, the lower limit is the rent fixed by the Real Estate Appraisal Company authorized by the Capital Markets Board. This lower limit is respected in all actual rent relations.

The aforementioned transactions with the holding company and its affiliates were ordinary commercial transactions and their conditions were not specified under the guidance of the holding company or in favor of any other company. The pricing of such commercial transactions does not take into consideration whether the other party is the holding or affiliated company.

In order to comply with transfer pricing principles specified in Article 13 in the Corporate Tax Law No. 5520, the Company observed an arm’s length principle in its relations with the holding company and its affiliates, paying attention to performing the transactions with such companies in the same way with unrelated companies. The arm’s length principle requires that the price or consideration charged for the purchase or sale of goods or services between related parties should be the price or consideration which would have been occurred in the absence of such a relationship between them.

The arm’s length principle was observed in the pricing of transactions with holding company and its affiliates and the holding company did not use its holding capacity in such as a manner as to cause loss for the Company. In addition, the holding company and its affiliates did not prompt the Company to perform any business, asset, funds, personnel, debit and credit transfer, or legal transactions which might cause loss; to reduce or transfer its profit; to limit its assets to real or personal rights; to pledge, afford warrant or sign a surety; to make payments; to take decisions or measures which might affect negatively its efficiency or activity, including renovation of its facilities, restriction or interruption of its investments without any reason; or to avoid taking measures which might help the Company develop.

e) Unless necessary legal reserves are set aside as required by law and the first dividend is reserved for shareholders as specified in Articles of Association, the Company cannot decide to set aside any other reserves, to transfer them to the following year as profit, or to distribute dividends to members of the Board of Directors or officials, clerks, and workers, as much as dividends cannot be distributed to these people unless the allocated first dividend is paid.

1. ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

a) World Economy in 2015

The IMF World Economic Outlook 2015 reports moderate but uneven growth prospects across the main countries and regions. The report indicates that global activity is projected to gather some pace in the short term with the support of developed countries but medium- and long-term growth is affected by various complex factors, including country- and region-based effects of the global crisis. The IMF lists the factors from developed countries as low inflation, aging populations, decreased total factor productivity, and decreased investments, indicating that factors in developing countries vary significantly.

The report states that global economy, which grew by 3.4 percent in 2014, is projected to remain below forecasts in 2015. According to the October 2015 issue of the IMF World Economic Outlook 2015 (prepared twice a year), with declining commodity prices and increasing financial market volatility, the downside risks have risen. Accordingly, global growth forecasts were revised downward from 3.3 to 3.1 percent for 2015 and from 3.8 to 3.6 percent for 2016.

Global economic growth was measured to be 4 percent from 1997 to 2007. The IMF forecasts that global economic growth will increase in 2016. World trade growth is forecast to be 3.2 percent in 2015 and 4.1 percent in 2016. The world trade grew by 6.8 percent in 10 years from 1997 to 2006.

In developed countries, economic growth is forecast to increase from 1.8 percent in 2014 to 2 percent in 2015 and 2.2 percent in 2016. In developed countries, namely in the US, economic growth of 2.4 percent in 2014 is forecast to be 1.5 percent in 2015 and 1.6 percent 2016. According to forecasts, in Eurozone, the economy will grow by 1.5 percent in 2015 and by 1.6 in 2016 while the Japanese economy will grow by 0.6 in 2015 and 1 percent in 2016.

In developing countries, economic growth of 4.6 percent in 2014 is forecast to be4 percent in 2015 and 4.5 percent in 2016.

Consideration of the world economy outlook also reveals that oil prices continued to decline in 2015. Oil prices are forecast to continue to further decline, especially following the lifting of embargoes against Iran in 2016. In 2015, high-risk geopolitical issues, originating especially in the Middle East, had significant implications worldwide.

A recovery was observed in the US economy. This recovery was especially driven by the Fed’s first interest rate hike in 2015. For the Russian economy, it was an especially tough year due to decreased oil prices. This weakening is forecast to continue in 2016. For Europe, it was a stationary year with no perceivable rise. This was despite the expansionary monetary policies of the European Central Bank. In China, it was not a productive year with downward acceleration in the economy. A similar situation occurred in Japan with no perceivable economic relief.

*Based on the Annual Economic Report of January 2016, issued by the Turkish Ministry of Finance. *Based on the Turkish Ministry of Development bulletin, “Latest Developments in the World Economy,” dated April-June 2015.

Turkish Construction Industry in 2015

In Turkey, the construction industry makes especially significant contributions to economic growth, having a substantial correlation with GDP growth rates.

Growth in the construction industry was 5.8 percent in the first quarter, 3.4 percent in the second quarter, 2 percent in the third quarter, and -2.0 percent in the last quarter, with 2 percent average growth for four quarters of 2014.

2In the third quarter of 2015, the Turkish economy exceeded forecasts with 4 percent growth and this led to 8.3 percent growth in the construction industry.

In the first nine months of 2015, the construction materials industry shrank by 1.9 percent while the number of building licenses and residential building licenses decreased by 24.8 and 25.2 percent, respectively. In addition, number of flats in the residential building licenses also decreased by 23.6 percent.

Turkish Office Industry in 2015

Office inventory continued to increase in Istanbul office market in the first quarter of 2015. Especially in the first 6 months, expectations related to the general elections and increased foreign exchange rates led to corporate leases, which were mostly concentrated in locations smaller than 5,000 square meters.

In 2015, the total office inventory share was 41 percent in Levent in the Central Business District (CBD) and 18 percent in Kağıthane and Seyrantepe in the non-CBD Europe. They were followed by Ümraniye, Ataşehir, Kozyatağı, and Küçükyalı in the non-CBD Asia with 32 percent and Bomonti-Piyalepaşa, Kartal-Maltepe, and Western Ataşehir in developing office areas with 9 percent.

In the Istanbul office market, although rents are generally dollar-based there are also some investors who prefer Euro or Turkish lira.

In the Central Business District (CBD), the vacancy rate was 20.9 percent in Class A office buildings and 8.5 percent in Class B office buildings in the first quarter of 2015. In the CBD, average rent was 31.8 US dollars/square meter/month in Class A office buildings and 16.5 US dollars/square meter/month in Class B office buildings. In non-CBD Europe, the vacancy rate increased to 14.7 percent in Class A office buildings. Average rent was 18.7 US dollars/square meter/month in Class A office buildings.

In non-CBD Asia, vacancy rate increased to 16.9 percent in Class A office buildings with average rent of 21.5 US dollars/square meter/month. In the first quarter of 2015, the highest rent was in Levent, just as in the previous quarter. The highest rent was 50 US dollars/square meter/month.

Just as in the first quarter, the total office inventory share was 41 percent in CBD, followed by non-CBD Asia with 32 percent, non-CBD Europe with 18 percent, and developing office areas with 9 percent.

The third quarter was characterized by new office areas included in the inventory rather than corporate leases and purchases.

With continuing growth throughout 2015, Istanbul office inventory reached 4.2 million square meters at the end of 2015 As a result of increased supply and low demand, vacancy rate increased from 20.9 percent in Q1 to 25.6 percent in Q4 in CBD in the same period, despite increased office inventory, vacancy rate did not change much due to high demand and remained at 17.2 percent in non-CBD Asia. In Q4 2015, vacancy rate was 14.9 percent in non-CBD Europe.

There are three types of REIT. The first type is established to realize a particular type of projects, the second one is established for a definite or indefinite period of time to invest in particular areas, and the third one is established without limitation in their operating purpose or period. In Turkey REITs fall under the third category. In Europe and Far East, the most common type is the investing companies which provide finance for the real estate industry.

To be a REIT, companies must fulfill some legal obligations. The most important one is that they must offer publicly 25 percent of their issued capital at least in three months.

Corporate governance and taxation issues are also highly important for REITs. Following the corporate income tax exemption granted by Article 8/4 in the Corporate Income Tax Law to encourage corporate existence in the real estate industry, interest has rapidly increased in this financing model.

The Capital Markets Board published the Corporate Governance Principles for the first time in 2003 as a resolution. These principles were based on “Comply or Explain” approach.

In Turkey, the REIT market gained pace in 2010 with the public offering of Emlak Konut and Torunlar REIT. In 2013, Halk REIT, Servet REIT, Panora REIT, and Yeni Gimat REIT served as a model for public offerings. In addition, again in 2013, the second public offering of Emlak Konut REIT was one of the greatest public offerings with 3.25 billion Turkish lira. Other public offerings in 2013 included: Servet REIT in March 24, 2013, Panaroma REIT in May 23, 2013, and Yeni Gimat REIT in August 16, 2013. Körfez REIT, an affiliate of Kuveyt Turk Participation Bank, went public in April 2014.

In December 31, 2015, there were 31 REITs traded at Istanbul Stock Exchange (BIST) with a total market value of 21.5 billion Turkish lira. In the same date, REITs accounted for 4.0 percent of total market value of BIST. In 2015, BIST-100 index (XU100) depreciated by 16 percent yearly and closed at the level of 71,727 in December 31, 2015. In the same period, Real Estate Index (XGMYO) increased in value by 1 percent yearly and closed the year at the level of 37.751.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORʼS REPORT ON FINANCIAL TABLES

Doğuş REIT to the Board of Directors

Report on Financial Tables

1. We have audited the accompanying financial tales dated December 31, 2015 of Doğuş REIT, and the related statement of income and statement of other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year-end as well as the summary of important accounting policies and other footnotes.

The Management’s Responsibility on Financial Tables

2. Company Management is responsible for preparing the financial statements in accordance with the Turkish Accounting Standards (TAS), presenting them fairly, and performing the internal audits it deems necessary so as to prepare the financial statements free of critical mistakes arising from errors or fraud.

Responsibility of the Independent Audit Company

3. We are responsible for presenting an opinion on these financial statements based on the independent audit we performed. We have performed the independent audit in compliance with the independent audit standards published by the CMB and with the Independent Audit Standards (“IAS”), a part of the Turkish Audit Standards, and published by the Public Oversight, Accounting and Auditing Standards Authority. These standards require that ethical principles be followed and that the independent audit be planned and executed so as to establish reasonable assurance on whether the financial statements contain critical mistakes.

An independent audit involves implementation of audit procedures with the goal of obtaining proof of audit on the financial statement figures and footnotes. Selection of these procedures is based on the independent auditor’s professional judgment, which includes an assessment of risks with regard to critical mistakes arising from errors or fraud. While assessing the risks, the independent auditor scrutinizes the company’s internal audit regarding the preparation of consolidated financial statements and their fair presentation, with the aim of determining suitable audit procedures for the conditions. Nevertheless, this assessment does not intend to provide an opinion with regard to the effectiveness of the company’s internal audit. An independent audit encompasses an assessment of the presentation of the financial statements as a whole, as well as whether the management’s accounting policies are suitable and the accounting projections reasonable.

We believe that the independent audit evidence we have obtained during the independent audit forms an adequate and proper basis to build our opinion.

Opinion

4. In our opinion, the attached financial statements fairly reflect the financial position of Doğuş REIT as of December 31, 2015 and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with TAS.

• Amendment to TAS 19 regarding defined benefit plans, effective from annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014. These narrow scope amendments apply to contributions from employees or third parties to defined benefit plans. The objective of the amendments is to simplify the accounting for contributions that are independent of the number of years of employee service, for example, employee contributions that are calculated according to a fixed percentage of salary.

• Annual improvements 2012; effective from annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014. These amendments include changes from the 2010-12 cycle of the annual improvements project, that affect 7 standards:

• TFRS 2, ‘Share-based payment’• TFRS 3, ‘Business Combinations’• TFRS 8, ‘Operating segments’• TFRS 13, ‘Fair value measurement’• TAS 16, ‘Property, plant and equipment’ and TAS 38, ‘Intangible assets’• Consequential amendments to TFRS 9, ‘Financial instruments’, TAS 37, ‘Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets’, and• TAS 39, Financial instruments - Recognition and measurement’

• Annual improvements 2013; effective from annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014. These amendments include changes from the 2011-12-13 cycle of the annual improvements project, that affect 4 standards:

• TFRS 1, ‘First time adoption’• TFRS 3, ‘Business combinations’• TFRS 13, ‘Fair value measurement’ and• TAS 40, ‘Investment property’.

b) The new standards, amendments and interpretations introduced to the prior financial statements as of 31 December 2015

• Amendment to TFRS 11, 'Joint arrangements' on acquisition of an interest in a joint operation, effective from annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016. This amendment adds new guidance on how to account for the acquisition of an interest in a joint operation that constitutes a business. The amendments specify the appropriate accounting treatment for such acquisitions.

• Amendments to TAS 16 ‘Property, plant and equipment’, and TAS 41, ‘Agriculture’, regarding bearer plants, effective from annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016. These amendments change the financial reporting for bearer plants, such as grape vines, rubber trees and oil palms. It has been decided that bearer plants should be accounted for in the same way as property, plant and equipment because their operation is similar to that of manufacturing. Consequently, the amendments include them within the scope of TAS 16, instead of TAS 41. The produce growing on bearer plants will remain within the scope of TAS 41.

• Amendment to TAS 16, 'Property, plant and equipment' and TAS 38, 'Intangible assets', on depreciation and amortisation, effective from annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016. In this amendment the it has clarified that the use of revenue based methods to calculate the depreciation of an asset is not appropriate because revenue generated by an activity that includes the use of an asset generally reflects factors other than the consumption of the economic benefits embodied in the asset. It is also clarified that revenue is generally presumed to be an inappropriate basis for measuring the consumption of the economic benefits embodied in an intangible asset.

• TFRS 14 ‘Regulatory deferral accounts’, effective from annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016. TFRS 14, ‘Regulatory deferral accounts’ permits first–time adopters to continue to recognise amounts related to rate regulation in accordance with their previous GAAP requirements when they adopt TFRS. However, to enhance comparability with entities that already apply TFRS and do not recognise such amounts, the standard requires that the effect of rate regulation must be presented separately from other items.

• Amendments to TAS 27, ‘Separate financial statements’ on the equity method, effective from annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016. These amendments allow entities to use the equity method to account for investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates in their separate financial statements.

• These amendments address an inconsistency between the requirements in TFRS 10 and those in TAS 28 in dealing with the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture. The main consequence of the amendments is that a full gain or loss is recognised when a transaction involves a business (whether it is housed in a subsidiary or not). A partial gain or loss is recognised when a transaction involves assets that do not constitute a business, even if these assets are housed in a subsidiary.

• Annual improvements 2014, effective from annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016. These set of amendments impacts 4 standards:

• TFRS 5, ‘Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations’ regarding methods of disposal,• TFRS 7, ‘Financial instruments: Disclosures’, (with consequential amendments to TFRS 1) regarding servicing contracts,• TAS 19, ‘Employee benefits’ regarding discount rates,• TAS 34, ‘Interim financial reporting’ regarding disclosure of information.

2.5.9. Earning per share

Earnings per share are determined by dividing net comprehensive income by the weighted average number of shares that have been outstanding during the period concerned. Weighted average number of shares is number of ordinary shares at the beginning of the period and the number of shares issued during the period or taken back to a time-weight factor multiplied by the number of shares. The time-weight factor is the ratio of the number of days where a certain number of shares issued and total number of days in the period.

In Turkey, companies can increase their share capital by making a pro-rata distribution of their shares “bonus shares” to existing shareholders funded from retained earnings or other reserves. For the purpose of earnings per share computations, such bonus share issuances are regarded as issued shares for all periods presented and accordingly the weighted average number of shares used in earnings per share computations in prior periods is adjusted retroactively for the effects of these shares, issued without receiving cash or another consideration from shareholders.

2.5.10. Subsequent events

Subsequent events represent the events that occur against or on behalf of the Company between the reporting date and the date when reporting was authorised for the issue. There are two types of subsequent events:

• Those that provide evidence of conditions that existed as at reporting date (adjusting events after the reporting date); and

• Those that are indicative of conditions that arose after the reporting date (non-adjusting events after the reporting date).

If there is evidence of such events as of reporting date or if such events occur after reporting date and if adjustments are necessary, the Company’s financial statements are adjusted according to the new situation. The Company discloses the post-balance sheet events that are not adjusting events but material.

2.5.11. Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets

A provision is recognised when the Company has a present implicit or legal obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. If the specified criteria are not met, the Company discloses the related issues in the notes.

If the inflow of economic benefits is probable, contingent assets are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. If the inflow of the economic benefit is more than likely to occur, such asset and income statement effect are recognised in the financial statements at the relevant period that income change effect occurs.

Fixed assets that are acquired through financial leasing are reflected at the statement through deducting the accumulated depreciation and impairment from the lowest version of the beginning of the lease discounted value of minimum lease payments at balance sheet date and the fair value of the goods subject to lease. Liabilities under finance leases, decreased by the payment of principal and interest payments are recorded as expense in the statement of comprehensive income.

2.5.15. Governments grants and incentives

As disclosed in Note 2.5.16, the Company which operates as a real estate investment trust, is exempt from corporate tax.

2.5.16. Taxation

According to Article 5/1(d) (4) of the New Corporate Tax Law No: 5520, the income of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REIT”) is exempt from Corporate Income Tax in Turkey. This exemption is also applicable to Quarterly Advance Corporate Tax.

Since the Company is exempt from Corporate Income Tax in Turkey in accordance with Article 5 of the Corporate Tax Law, deferred tax is not recognised.

2.5.17. Provision for employee termination benefits

Provision for the employee termination benefits shows the present value of total liabilities resulting from retirement of personnel in the future for the company in accordance with Turkish Labor Law. Under the Turkish Labor Law, the Company is required to pay termination benefits to each employee who has completed at least one year of service and whose employment is terminated without due cause, is called up for military service, dies or who retires after completing 25 years of service (20 years for women) and achieves the retirement age (58 for women and 60 for men). Since the legislation was changed on 23 May 2002, there are certain transitional provisions relating to length of service prior to retirement. The amount payable consists of one month’s salary limited to a maximum of TL 3,828 in full TL amount as of 31 December 2015 (31 December 2014: TL 3,438).

Provision is related to fair value of defined benefit plan calculated with the method of estimated liability. All actuarial profit and losses are accounted under consolidate comprehensive income statement

Provision is related to fair value of defined benefit plan calculated with the method of estimated liability. All actuarial profit and losses are accounted under comprehensive income statement. TFRS requires actuarial valuation methods to be developed to estimate the enterprise’s obligation for such benefits. The liability for this unfunded plan recognized in the balance sheet is the full present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period, calculated using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows from the retirement of its employees using the long term TL interest rates.

The principal actuarial assumption is that the maximum liability will increase in line with inflation. Thus the effective discount rate applied represents the expected real interest rate after adjusting for the effects of future inflation. As the maximum liability amount is revised periodically by the authorities, the maximum amount of 4,093 full TL which is effective from 1 January 2016 has been taken into consideration when calculating the liability (1 January 2015: 3,541 full TL) as of 31 December 2015.

Due to reason that the comparable market transactions being infrequent and alternative reliable estimates of fair value (for example based on discounted cash flow projections) being not available, the fair value of the investment property under development, namely “Doğuş REIT Office Tower Project ” is deemed to be not reliably determinable. Therefore, the Company determines that the fair value of its investment property under development is not reliable determinable but expects the fair value of the property to be reliably determinable when construction is complete; it measures that investment property under development at cost until either its fair value becomes reliably determinable or construction is completed (whichever is earlier).

Investment property is composed of “Doğuş REIT Office Tower Project” which details is described below.

The company raised an objection to and demanded the correction of the Master Development Plan for Maslak and its surroundings, scaled 1/5000, which was finalised upon the approval of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality and announced on 12 March 2014. Since the demand for correction was rejected, a lawsuit was filed on 11 August 2014 regarding the request of the cancellation and the stay of the execution for the said development plan. The İstanbul 2nd Administrative Court rejected the company's demand for stay of execution on 11 June 2015. The Company was filed a lawsuit on 3 November 2015 regarding the request of the cancellation and the stay of the execution to İstanbul Administrative Court. The judicial process continues. Accordingly, the Company would not be exposed to any damages as a result of the ongoing legal process. In this respect, no provision had been provided by the management regarding the outcome of the ongoing legal process in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Level 2: Financial assets and financial liabilities are valued by directly or indirectly observable market prices rather than the quoted market prices mentioned in first level of the regarding assets or liabilities.

Level 3: Financial assets and financial liabilities are valued by the inputs where there is no observable market data of the fair value of the regarding assets and liabilities.

Classification requires using observable market data if possible.
