The thematic sections of this Report and their content are specifically as follows:

SECTION A '

Evolution, performance and position of the Company and Group – Financial and non-financial key performance indicators

In this Section, a concise, legible and comprehensible representation of the evolution, performance, activities and position of all enterprises included in the consolidation is included. This representation takes place in such a way as to provide a balanced, concise and comprehensive analysis regarding the above categories of themes, which corresponds to the size and complexity of the activities of these enterprises. Also at the end of the relevant representation certain indicators are set out (financial and non-financial) which the Company's Management evaluates as useful for a more complete understanding of the above issues.

1. Financial data

In the first Semester of 2024, the global economy continues to be in a particularly volatile period, of instability and uncertainty, experiencing the effects of the ongoing war conflicts (Russia – Ukraine, unrest in the wider Middle East region, which in fact poses significant risks of escalating conflict) which exacerbates existing supply chain disruptions, reinforces the climate of intense geopolitical instability and further fuels the rise in the prices of energy products and raw materials, which in turn fuels inflation and related challenges.

The PROFILE Group managed, within this highly volatile, unstable and liquid economic environment of the first half of the year 2024 and despite the negative consequences due to inflationary pressures, to cope with the challenges, strengthening its market shares, increasing its turnover to satisfactory levels, strengthening its assets and maintaining itsliquidity and capital adequacy at the highest possible levels.

An important role in this was played by the continuous activity of the Group in the international markets in the field of the Financial sector (a direction in which the Group has consistently invested during the last years), in combination with the undertaking and initiation of the implementation of large projects of the Public Sector. Furthermore, the Group managed to complete complex projects even in a volatile, fluid and uncertain environment.

More specifically, the undertaken projects are executed seamlessly, including the My TEKA App for the new TEKA fund, the digitization of Town Planning files for the Municipality of Meteora, tele-trials for the Ministry of Justice, the One Stop Shop for AADE, the OPS APE for the Ministry of Energy, web services for the Information Society, the digitization of borrower files for the Deposit and Loan Fund (TPD), the National Pet Registry for the Ministry of the Interior, the e-school for the Ministry of Education, the digitization of asylum files for the Ministry of Immigration, the digitization of Mortgage Registriesforthe National Land Registry, and the recording of records for the Ministry of Justice. Additionally, there is ongoing monitoring of projects announced by various state organizations and agencies to engage in opportunities of interest, either through a PROFILE Group company or as a member of an Association of Companies.

At the same time, the Group, with the utmost sense of responsibility, continues to systematically and closely monitor the developments in the global and Greek economy and to take all necessary measures to ensure the unobstructed continuation of its business activity, inside and outside Greece.

Out of the continuous and systematic effort to further increase the productivity, both of the human and financial resources, the Group aims at stabilizing the financial indicators and further improving the positive operating results both at Company and –mainly– Group level.

4. Alternative Performance Measures(APMs)

According to the European Securities and Markets Authority, an Alternative Performance Measure (APR) is defined as a financial indicator measuring historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows, which however is not defined or specified in the current financial reporting framework. Although not included in IFRS, APMs should be assessed as ancillary and always in combination with the results arising from the IFRS, with the aim to better understand the operating results of the Group and its financial position, in order to facilitate the decision making for the users of the financial statements.

The Group during the current financial period and its comparative, has not made adjustments to funds of the statements of comprehensive income, statements of financial position or statements of cash flows and has not implemented extraordinary actions or non-recurring revenues or expenses that have a significant effect on the formation of the said indicators.

In the context of the Alternative Performance Measures (APM) the Group sets out the indicator "Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization – EBITDA". EBITDA is defined as pre-tax profit plus/minus financial and investment results plus total depreciation and amortization. The investment resultsinclude profits or(losses) from the revaluation of fixed assets, goodwill and intangible assets impairment as well as profits or (losses) of subsidiaries held for sale. ΕΒΙΤDA also exempts lumpsum and non-recurring charges that are not included in the company's usual activities, such as compensation provisions due to court actions as well as other extraordinary provisions. These readjustments are made so that the said indicator stays comparable and consistent over time, in compliance with and pursuant to the applicable guidelines in relation to the Alternative Performance Measures (APM).

SECTION C

Anticipated course and evolution of the Group for the 2nd Semester of the fiscal year 2024

The global and domestic economy continuesto be tested by strong geopolitical and economic disruption and the unprecedented energy crisis resulting from the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, intense and ongoing unrest in the wider Middle East region), while continued global supply chain dysfunction and severe inflationary pressures further intensify the concern for the course of the world economy, which after the significant recession in the last decade, began to show signs of returning to recovery rates. For the second (B) semester of the current fiscal year 2024, the Group's strategy will continue to aim at furtherstrengthening its extroversion, at developing its presence in new markets and at the participation and implementation of large Public Sector projects. The Group systematically strengthens its presence and activities in foreign markets, with the aim of more comprehensively covering and serving the needs of the banking and investment sector, in which it has significant expertise, either through the Group's existing products - solutions, or through acquisitions of entities in markets where the Group did not have a presence until now, or entities that offer product solutions, which can be combined in addition to the existing solutions of the Group.

Furthermore, it has significantly enhanced the staffing and organizational structures of the Group Companies' departmentsresponsible for overseeing public IT project tenders. Thisincludes coordinating and executing proposals for tender participation, as well as overseeing the subsequent implementation of the awarded projects.

However, it should not be overlooked that, especially in view of the strong export orientation of the Group, the prospects, results and course of both the Group and the Company are in direct and necessary relation to the situation and conditions that prevail, in particular, in the world market and economy.

In any case, among the important priorities of the Group for the second (B)semester of the current fiscal year is the further improvement of its position in the markets of the United Kingdom, France, Cyprus, the United Arab Emirates and Scandinavia, as well as infiltrating new markets, mainly through:

(a) further enhancing the Group's activity abroad, as long as it maintains and consolidates its presence with offices, subsidiaries and other representative collaborations in Greece, France, Cyprus, the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates, Singapore and Scandinavia;

(b) hiring of new, specialized and adequately trained personnel,

(c) development and presentation of new operations and innovative products in the domestic and foreign market,

(d) limitation of costs, which is already implemented through the restructuring of the corporate operations and its individual directorates, in order to achieve optimal utilization of the possibilities provided within the IT industry at global level;

(e) targeted approach of new projects and particularly complex information technology projects both in the domestic public and private sector and in similar projects abroad.

The flexibility of the internalstructure and organization that has already been created by the Group over the past years, allows it to adapt more quickly and efficiently to the to the market conditions that are formed each time, in order to effectively exploit any substantial growth opportunities that present themselves and to compensate the exogenous recessionary environment created due to the conditions and factors mentioned above.

In addition, the investments of the previous years to maintain the competitive advantage and the development of the Group's operations in industries with high added value, are expected to have a beneficial effect on the Group's profit margins and figures.

The Group and especially the Management of the Company are expected to maintain a developmental attitude regarding the presentation of new solutions based on cutting-edge technologies (Finuevo Digital, Finuevo Core, Finuevo Suite, Axia, Acumen.plus, RiskAvert, AI. Adaptive, RegiStar). In particular, they are focused on creating new innovative technologies and integrated quality and differentiated solutions from the existing competition, in order to improve and continuously further expand the range of products produced, with an emphasis in particular on their competitiveness, combined with continuous, methodical and systematic monitoring of market trends and needs, using modern production and development methods according to international standards.

The Group is systematically enhancing its presence and its activities in global markets, aiming to provide the most comprehensive coverage and service to the needs of the banking and investment sector, in

which it has significant expertise. Also, the Company constantly invests in office activities in countries abroad efficiently.

This includes strengthening the Group's activities both in the Asian region and in the neighboring geographical areas, increasing the number ofspecialized staff in the Dubai office for greater penetration into the wider region through local service and collaborations, while in general the strategy pursued aims to consolidate the presence of the Company and the Group in these markets of high interest and dynamics and to promote its specialized products in new markets.

It is particularly important that these efforts are recognized by the international media by awarding business excellence awards, in connection with the development of new solutions.

SECTION D

Main risks and uncertainties

The Company and the Group operate, as is known, in a highly competitive and particularly demanding international environment, which is changing swiftly and rapidly. During the last years, the Company and the Group,systematically and with a specific development plan,try to strengthen their extroversion with steady and safe steps, not single meaning, but in the geographical areas that are of strategic interest, with emphasis on cutting-edge technologies and continuous technological upgrade of the products and solutions they provide, while at the same time developing new activities and promoting their entry into new markets, in order to further strengthen their competitiveness. At the same time, they monitor the developments also in the domestic market.

The Company's specialized know-how, its many years of experience and presence in the field, its organization and the intense activity of all its executives, its wide renown in combination with the study, development and marketing of new products, but also the continuous improvement and upgrading of the existing ones, with emphasis on the quality and the ability of immediate satisfaction of demand but also of the changing needs of the final customers, as well as the creation of strong infrastructures and the infiltration of new markets, help the Company and the Group remain competitive, notwithstanding the inherent problems facing the sector, which problems have intensified especially during the financial crisis.

The controlled financial exposure of the Group and itssignificant qualitative and product differentiation, combined with the continuous development and upgrading of its products, as well as the expansion of the Group into new geographic markets, are the main resources available in order to minimize the 15 Semi-Annual Financial Statement for the Financial Period from January 1 to June 30, 2023 (Amounts in EUR) negative consequences from the current energy crisis as a result of the Russian invasion in Ukraine and the consequent geopolitical and financial instability (inflationary pressures, interest rate increases, etc.). In any case, the Management of the Group closely monitors on a systematic basis and evaluates the evolution of the above events and their impact on the financial results of the Group in general, given that their evolution, at least until the end of 2023, cannot be predicted with certainty and no safe conclusion can be drawn. Therefore, depending on the intensity and duration of the events, there is the possibility that part of the broad customer base to which the Group is addressed may be driven to a

suspension and/or time variation of investment plans and the postponement of modernization programs.

The usual financial and other risks to which the Group is exposed and which risks it may also face during the second (B) semester of the fiscal year 2023 are as follows:

1. Risk of reduction in demand due to the general recession

Although this specific risk is of a limited extent owing to the special software categories developed and marketed by the Group, nevertheless, to avoid the reduction in demand due to the greater financial situation prevailing in the Greek market but also due to the global recessionary environment, a consequence of the high inflation, the rising flow of interest rates and the geopolitical and energy crisis, the Group develops a large and wide range of products in different categories, addressing the international market in order to counterbalance possible losses in specific market branches. The development and evolution of software products is based on the uninterrupted everyday monitoring and research of the market and new technologies, so that on entering new markets it may balance possible losses.

However, in view of the negative developments-consequences due to the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, which has particularly adverse impact on the global supply chain, financial stability and economic activity and has led to a spike in the prices of energy, raw materials and consumer goods in general, the risk in question is considered at the present time as existing, significant enough and likely to affect the Company's results and activity. For this reason, particular emphasis is placed on the further strengthening of the Company's extroversion and on the expansion of the Group's international presence, as the geographical dispersion of the Group's activity is an essential compensating factor in the emerging recessionary environment.

2. Risk of increased competition from imported businesses

This risk is always real and appreciable in the area where the Group operates, especially if we consider the fact that barriers to entry are not so strong in this area, as most of the technical terms used to implement and complete information systems and software product configuration are widespread, which allows foreign companies to penetrate the market with relative ease, taking advantage of comparative advantages, especially in terms of sizes.

The Company, having now consolidated its extroverted orientation, confronts this risk with emphasis on the design and development of quality and modular products, on the systematic and targeted improvement, upgrade and adaptability of the products already marketed by it, on the representation of strong and world-known products, on establishing long-term, trusting relationships with its customer base and on the expansion of its activities abroad. This risk is timeless and in that sense it is dealt with by the Management of the Company and the Group, always placing special emphasis in the field of 16 Semi-Annual Financial Statement for the Financial Period from January 1 to June 30, 2023 (Amounts in EUR) quality and product differentiation and in general, in providing to customers high level services, while at the same time, by systematic reinforcement of extroversion, it upgrades its role and presence in the international market, a fact which renders it more resilient in confronting this risk. In addition, the constant increase in the global market size partially abates the effects of competition, so that the activity

that takes place outside Greece, which constitutes a strategic orientation for the Company in recent years, compensates for the inevitable losses in the Greek market.

3. Risk of technological developments

The technological developments affect to a high degree the competitiveness of companies operating in the field of information technology. Companiesthat operate in the IT industry must be constantly aware of possible differentiations and developments in existing technology and make the necessary investments to ensure a high level of technology.

Based on the above, and for the greatest possible reduction of the risk of technological developments, the Group:

✓ develops products in particularly efficient and internationally recognized platforms;

✓ moves to continuous training and education of the staff in technological matters, in cooperation with internationally recognized bodies in the field of high technology;

✓ offers innovative applications, corresponding to the complex needs and demands of the market.

For the above reasons, this specific risk is assessed as real, but in any case as absolutely manageable at this particular period of time.

4. Credit risk

The Management of the Company and the Group, based on its internal operating principles, ensures that the sales of goods and services take place towards customers of high credit reliability and lending capacity. Owing to the expansion of the activities of the Company and the Group abroad, the said risk is real in relation to customers originating from other countries (especially from countries of Africa, Asia and S. America) for whom the efficient check of their creditworthiness and reliability is not always easy. For this reason, the Company and the Group constantly develop and evolve internal mechanisms of operation (regarding the process of negotiations, contracts and project management), with the view to more completely addressing the specific danger. Within the said context and the assessment methods available to the Group, it has not faced so far any possible exposures of significant size, for which no adequate provision has been formed. Therefore, the said risk, although real in view of the greater negative economic climate, is assessed today as controllable and manageable. However, if there is a deterioration of the conditions for the development of economic activity in the coming months, especially in the Greek market, this risk may affect the results of the Company. Note 17 of the financial statements provides an analysis of customer receivables.

5. Liquidity risk

The Management attaches particular importance to the management of this risk, to its monitoring by conducting monthly and quarterly provisions, to the continuous monitoring of cash flows (inflows and 17 Semi-Annual Financial Statement for the Financial Period from January 1 to June 30, 2023 (Amounts in EUR) outflows) and to the continuous evaluation and reassessment of the strategy related to its effective management.

In the above context and based on the existing data, thisrisk is completely controllable and manageable. However, the deterioration of the economic conditions of the global market and the reversal of the

provisions for the expected economic growth combined with the prevailing conditions of uncertainty and insecurity, cannot be ruled out to affect, to a controlled extent, the liquidity of the Company and the Group.

Notes 20, 21, 22and 23of the financial statements set out a table of the loans and other liabilities of the Group.

6. Exchange risk

The Group operates internationally and is therefore at risk of exchange rates arising mainly from the US Dollar and the British Pound. This type of risk mainly results from commercial transactions in foreign currency as well as from net investment in economic entities abroad. The Management of the Company constantly monitors the foreign exchange risks that may arise and evaluates any need to take relevant measures; however, at the present time the uncertainty in the global financial environment and the fluctuation of exchange rates makes this risk real and capable of affecting the Group's results and performance during the second (B) semester of the current fiscal year.

7. Interest rate risk

The Group's interest rate risk is currently considered manageable, given that the Group has a limited and in any case-controlled exposure to bank borrowings. The Group's policy is to maintain the total amount of borrowing at variable interest rates and to intervene correctively, whenever necessary, and at the same time to avoid, to the extent permitted by business activity in general, exposure to further lending.

The Group'slimited exposure to loan fundsisthe essential offset against the interest rate risk. It is noted, however, that the Group's cash reserves and cash equivalents exceed the total amount of bank loans.

8. Risks from climate change

The term 'Climate change' means global climate change due to human activities and caused mainly by an increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

The Company, recognizing both the risks associated with the phenomenon of climate change and its obligations in relation to the need to continuously improve its environmental performance, follows a path ofsustainable development and carries out its activities in a way that ensures the protection of the environment.

To address the risks of climate change, the Company promotes and implements a policy that focuses on the following axes:

✓ design of an emergency plan for the management and reaction to extreme natural phenomena on the premises of the Group's companies;

✓ assessment of the impact of the Company's activities on the environment, recording and evaluating potential risks, taking the necessary preventive measures, carrying out regular checks to confirm implementation and assessing the effectiveness of the measures;

✓ replacement of energy-intensive equipment with new, lower energy requirements;

✓ continuous monitoring of energy consumption and taking measures to further reduce it;

✓ raising awareness and informing the Company's employees about energy saving issues;

✓ continuous information, training and awareness of staff, in a manner adapted to the tasks and needs of each employee in order to promote an environmentally responsible culture;

✓ motivation of the Company's partners in environmental protection and strengthening their environmental awareness.

9. Risks from current developments in Ukraine and the wider Middle East region

Given that the Group does not have a direct presence in the above geographical regions through a subsidiary, there is no direct risk either in terms of production or the safety of its employees. In addition, there does not seem to be a direct impact on the Group's turnover, since there are no significant implementations in the countries involved in the conflict, with the exception of the Middle East region, if and as long as there is a wider geographical escalation in the said region.

Despite this, given the intense extroversion of the Group, the negative effects of the ongoing war conflict on the global economic activity, the continuous revaluations and delays in the supply chain, the intense inflationary pressures that are expected to be a more permanent phenomenon, the slowdown of economic growth at the global level , as well as the impossibility of making safe forecasts and estimates regarding the intensity, duration and overall resolution of the crisis at the present time, make this risk capable of affecting the Group's activity and performance in general. For this reason, the Management monitors on a continuous and systematic basis the developments that change at a rapid rate, in order to ensure the smooth operation of both the Company and the Group.

1 0. Risks from the energy crisis

The energy crisis at the global level of the last 3 years as it reinforced by the ongoing war conflict in Ukraine as well as the wider unrest in the Middle East region, due to Europe's dependence on external sources for the supply of natural gas and oil, causing repeated increases in their disposal prices. According to the forecasts, further negative effects are expected during the following months due to the energy crisis at the global level. Therefore, the maintenance of the dreaded energy crisis may bring about a further increase in the Group's operating expenses but also reduce the demand for the Group's products and services depending on the duration and intensity of the phenomenon. In any case, the Group's Management monitors the developments closely and on a daily basis, while evaluating and taking the measures deemed appropriate and necessary to limit the effects of the energy crisis, so that the Group's financial performance and results are affected to the least possible extent.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. GENERAL INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY AND THE GROUP

The Company "PROFILE SYSTEMS & SOFTWARE S.A." with the distinctive name "PROFILE SYSTEMS & SOFTWARE" (hereafter referred to as the ''Company'', or the ''Parent'', or "Profile") and its subsidiaries (hereafter jointly referred to as the ''Group'') have principal activities, in accordance with article 3 of its Articles of Incorporation, in the manufacturing and marketing of software and PCs, providing data transmission services through selected and other communication networks. The Company's registered office is at 199 Syngrou Avenue, Nea Smyrni and has 103 employees at 30.6.2023, while the Group has 192 employees in total.

The Company's shares are traded on the Athens Stock Exchange.

The interim financial statements of the Company and the Group for the period ended June 30, 2023 (first semester of the fiscal year 2023) have been approved by the Board of Directors at its meeting on September 22, 2023.

2. BASISOF PREPARATION OF THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

2.1 Basis of presentation of the Interim Financial Statements

The consolidated financial statements for the half year of 2024 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". The interim brief corporate and consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared based on the historical cost principle. Furthermore, these Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the ongoing business activity accounting principle. The use of this accounting basis takes into account the current and projected financial position of the Group.

The accounting principles used are the same asthose applied to the audited annual Financial Statements for the year ended on 31.12.2023, taking into account the changes in Standards and Interpretations effective from 01.01.2024.

The interim corporate and consolidated Financial Statements do not include all the information required in the annual financial statements and for this reason should always be examined and evaluated in conjunction with the published audited annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022, which are available on the Company's website, at https://www.profilesw.com/el/financialstatements.php

2.2 Basis of drawing up the interim condensed financial statements

The attached interim consolidated financial statements comprise the interim financial statements of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries on which Profile has the ability to exercise control. All subsidiaries (companies in which the Group has direct or indirect ownership of 50% or more voting interest or has the power to control the Board of the investees) have been properly consolidated in accordance with what the law stipulates.

At each reporting period, the Group reassesses whether it exercises effective control over the investments, in case there are events and circumstances indicating a change in effective control's indications. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which effective control is transferred to the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group.

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company using consistent accounting policies.

Gain or losses of subsidiaries, along with other comprehensive income, are attributed to the noncontrolling interest even if that results in a deficit balance.

All intra-group balances transactions and unrealized gains and losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full in the consolidated financialstatements. Where necessary, accounting policiesforsubsidiaries have been revised to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it:

  • Derecognizesthe assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary;
  • Derecognizesthe carrying amount of any non-controlling interest;
  • Recognizes the fair value of any investment retained;
  • Recognizes any surplus or deficit in profit or loss;
  • Reclassifiesthe parents'share of components previously recognized in other comprehensive income to profit and loss.
  • Total revenues in the results

Investments in subsidiaries in the separate financial statements are accounted for at cost less any accumulated impairment.

2.3 Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgements:

The preparation of interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of certain significant accounting estimates and assumptions for their correct application. In addition, it requires the exercise of judgment by the Management in the process of applying the applied accounting principles. Important assumptions made by the Management for the application of the Company's accounting methods are highlighted where deemed necessary. The estimates and judgments made by the Management are detailed in the financial statements as of December 31, 2022, while they are constantly evaluated and based on empirical data and other factors including expectations for future events that are considered to be expected under reasonable circumstances.

The accounting principles and calculations based on which the interim condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared are consistent with those used to prepare the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, and have been applied consistently in all periods presented.

Various other amendments and interpretations were applied for the first time during 2023 but did not have a material impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024.

3. NEWSTANDARDS, INTERPRETATIONS AND MODIFICATION OF EXISTING STANDARDS

Specific new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been issued, which are mandatory for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024. Its assessment of the impact of implementing these new standards, amendments and interpretations is set out below.

New Standards, Interpretations, Revisions and Amendments to existing Standards which have entered into force and have been adopted by the European Union.

The following new IFRS Standards, Interpretations and amendments have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), are being adopted by the European Union and their application is mandatory on or after 1 January 2024.

IAS 1 (Amendments) "Presentation of Financial Statements" (applicable to annual accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024)

2020 Amendment "Classification of liabilities as current or non-current"

The amendment clarifies that liabilities are classified as short-term or long-term based on the rights in force at the end of the reporting period. The classification is not affected by the entity's expectations or events after the reporting date. In addition, the amendment clarifies the meaning of the term "settlement" of an IAS 1 liability.

The above has been adopted by the European Union with an effective date of 01/01/2024. The amendment had no impact on the Financial Statements of the period.

2022 Amendments "Long-Term Commitments with specified conditions"

The new amendments clarify that if the right to defer settlement is subject to the entity's compliance with specified conditions (clauses), that amendment will only apply to conditions that exist when compliance is assessed on or before the reporting date. In addition, the amendments are intended to improve the information an entity provides when its right to defer settlement of a liability is subject to compliance with clauses within twelve months of the reporting period.

The 2022 amendments changed the effective date of the 2020 amendments. As a result, the 2020 and 2022 amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024 and should be applied retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8. As a result of the alignment of effective dates, the 2022 amendments will take precedence over the 2020 amendments when they both become effective in 2024.

The above has been adopted by the European Union with an effective date of 01.01.2024. The amendment had no impact on the Financial Statements of the period.

Leaseback Liability" (applicable to annual accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024) The amendment clarifies how an entity accounts for a sale and leaseback after the date of the transaction. Sale and leaseback transactions where some or all of the lease payments are variable payments that do not depend on an index or interest rate are most likely to be affected. An entity shall apply the requirements retrospectively to sale and leaseback transactions entered into after the date the entity first applies IFRS 16.

The above has been adopted by the European Union with an effective date of 01.01.2024. The amendment had no impact on the Financial Statements of the period.

IAS 7 "Statement of Cash Flows" and IFRS 7 "Financial Instruments" (Amendments) - Disclosures: Supplier Financial Agreements (applicable to annual accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024)

The amendmentsrequire companiesto disclose information about their Supplier Financing Agreements, such asterms and conditions, book value of financial liabilitiesthat are part ofsuch arrangements, range of payment due dates and liquidity risk information.

The above have been adopted by the European Union with a date of entry into force on 01.01.2024. The amendment had no impact on the Financial Statements of the period.

New Standards, Interpretations, Revisions and Amendments to existing Standards which have not yet entered into force or have not been adopted by the European Union

The following new Standards, Interpretations and amendments to Standards have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), but have either not yet entered into force or have not been adopted by the European Union.

IAS 21 "The Effects of Changes in Exchange Rates" (Amendments) - Non-currency exchangeability (applicable to annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2025)

The amendments require companies to apply a consistent approach in assessing whether a currency can be exchanged for another currency and, when it cannot, in determining the exchange rate to be used and the disclosures to be provided.

The amendments have not yet been adopted by the EU. The Group will consider the impact of all of the above on its Financial Statements, although they are not expected to have any [...]

IFRS 18 "Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements" (applicable to annual accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027)

IFRS 18 wasissued in April 2024. Itsets outthe requirementsfor presentation and disclosuresin financial statements, and replaces IAS 1. Its aim is to make it easier for investors to compare the performance and future prospects of companies by amending the requirements for the presentation of information in the main financial statements, particularly the income statement. The new standard:

  • i. requiresthe presentation of two new defined subsetsin the income statement operating profit and profit before financing and income taxes.
  • ii. requires disclosure of performance measures determined by a company's management non-IFRS subsets of income and expenses included in public communications to communicate management's view of a company's financial performance. To promote transparency, a company should provide consistency between these measures and the sets or subsets defined by IFRS.
  • iii. reinforces the requirements for aggregating and disaggregating information to help a company provide useful information.
  • iv. requires limited changes to the statement of cash flows to improve comparability, establishing a consistent starting point for the indirect method of presenting cash flows from operating activities and removing options for classifying interest and dividend cash flows.

The new standard has retroactive application. It has not yet been adopted by the EU. The Group will consider the impact of all of the above on its Financial Statements.

IFRS 19 "Subsidiaries without Public Liability: Disclosures" (applicable to annual accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027)

IFRS 19 was issued in May 2024. It allows subsidiaries with a parent company that applies IFRS in its consolidated financial statements to apply IFRS with reduced disclosure requirements. It applies to eligible subsidiaries that elect to adopt the standard in their consolidated, individual or stand-alone financial statements. Eligible subsidiaries are those that do not have public liability (as described in a relevant paragraph in IFRS for Small and Medium-sized Entities) and belong to a parent that prepares and publishes consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS. These subsidiaries will continue to apply the recognition, measurement and presentation requirements in the other IFRS, but may replace the disclosure requirements in those standards with reduced disclosure requirements. The new standard:

  • i. allow subsidiaries to keep only one set of accounting records—to meet the needs of both their parent company and users of their financial statements; and
  • ii. reduces disclosure requirements—IFRS 19 allows for reduced disclosures that better suit the needs of users of their financial statements.

The new standard has retroactive application. It has not yet been adopted by the EU. The Group will consider the impact of all of the above on its Financial Statements, although they are not expected to have any.

Targeted amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7, "Financial instruments": Disclosures (applicable to annual accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026)

The amendments were issued in May 2024 and define the following:

  • i. clarify the date of recognition and derecognition of certain financial assets and liabilities, with a new exception for certain financial liabilities settled through an electronic cash transfer system
  • ii. clarify and provide further guidance on the assessment of whether a financial asset meets the criterion for exclusive payments of principal and interest (SPPI)
  • iii. add new disclosures for certain instruments with contractual terms that can change cash flows (such as certain instruments with features linked to ESG achievement goals); and (d) update disclosures for equity securities measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).

When an entity first applies the amendments, it is not required to restate comparative information and is permitted to do so only if possible without the use of hindsight.

The amendments have not yet been adopted by the EU. The Group will consider the impact of all of the above on its Financial Statements, although they are not expected to have any.

4. RECLASSIFICATIONS

The following prior year amounts have been reclassified so that the Statement of Financial Position as of 31/12/2023 is comparable to the Statement of Financial Position as of 30/6/2024. More specifically:

  • An amount of € 9,420 wasreclassified from the "Trade Receivables" item to the "Other Receivables" item of the Statement of Financial Position.
  • An amount of €39,945 was reclassified from the "Suppliers" account to the "Other liabilities" account of the Statement of Financial Position.

5. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company and the Group operate, as is known, in a highly competitive and particularly demanding international environment, which is changing swiftly and rapidly. During the last years, the Company and the Group, systematically and with a specific development plan, try to strengthen its extroversion with steady and safe steps, not single meaning, but in the geographical areas that are of strategic interest, with emphasis on cutting-edge technologies and continuous technological upgrade of the products and solutions it provides, while at the same time developing new activities and promoting its entry into new markets, in orderto furtherstrengthen its competitiveness.

Semi-annual Financial Report for the period from January 1 to 30 June 2024 At the same time, itmonitors the developments in the domestic market.

Its specialized know-how, its many years of experience and presence in the field, its organization and the intense activity of all its executives, its wide renown in combination with the study, development and marketing of new products, but also the continuous improvement and upgrading of the existing ones, with emphasis on the quality and the ability of immediate satisfaction of demand but also of the changing needs of the final customers, as well as the creation of strong infrastructures and the infiltration of new markets, help the Company and the Group remain competitive, notwithstanding the inherent problems facing the sector, which problems have intensified especially during the financial crisis.

The controlled financial exposure of the Group and itssignificant qualitative and product differentiation, combined with the continuous development and upgrading of its products, as well as the expansion of the Group into new geographic markets, are the main resources available in order to minimize the negative consequences from the economic crisis of recent years. However, it is expected that the Group's revenues and results will also be affected during the current fiscal year, due to the intensity and the duration of the phenomenon and the lack of liquidity prevailing in the market and the looming and inevitable global recession for 2022, a consequence of the extraordinary negative geopolitical events, which leads a large part of the broad customer base addressed by the Group to suspension and/or time variation of investment plans and the postponement of modernization programs.

The usual financial and other risks to which the Group is exposed and which risks it may also face during the second (B) semester of the fiscal year 2024 are as follows:

a. Risk of a decrease in demand due to the general recession

Although this specific risk is of a limited extent owing to the special software categories developed and marketed by the Group, nevertheless, to avoid the reduction of demand due to the greater financial situation prevailing in the Greek market, but also of the recessionary environment that is taking shape on a global level, as a consequence, in particular, of the still-present dreaded energy crisis, the Group develops a large and wide range of productsin different categories, addressing the international market in order to counterbalance possible losses in specific market branches. The development and evolution of software products is based on the uninterrupted everyday monitoring and research of the market and new technologies, so that on entering new markets it may balance possible losses.

However, in view of the negative consequences of the current geopolitical instability as a result of the war conflicts (Russia – Ukraine, wider region of the Middle East), which has particularly adverse impact on the global supply chain, financial stability and economic activity and has led to a spike in the prices of energy, raw materials and consumer goods in general, the risk in question is considered at the present time as existing and significant. For this reason, particular emphasis is placed on the further strengthening of the Company's extroversion and on the expansion of the Group's international presence, as the geographical dispersion of the Group's activity is an essential compensating factor in the emerging recessionary environment.

b. Risk of increased competition by imported businesses

This risk is always real and appreciable in the area where the Group operates, especially if we consider the fact that barriers to entry are not so strong in this area, as most of the technical terms used to implement and complete information systems and software product configuration are widespread, which allows foreign companies to penetrate the market with relative ease, taking advantage of comparative advantages, especially in terms of sizes.

The Company having now consolidated its extroverted orientation, confronts thisrisk with emphasis on the design and development of quality and modular products, on the systematic and targeted improvement, upgrade and adaptability of the products already marketed by it, on the representation of strong and world-renowned houses, on establishing long-term, trusting relationships with its customer base and on the expansion of its activities abroad. This risk is timeless and in that sense it is dealt with by the Management of the Company and the Group, always placing special emphasis in the field of quality and product differentiation and in general, in providing to clients high levelservices, while at the same time, by systematic reinforcement of extroversion, it upgrades its role and presence in the international market, a fact which renders it more resilient in confronting this risk. In addition, the constant increase in the global marketsize partially abatesthe effects of competition,so that the activity that takes place outside Greece, which constitutes a strategic orientation for the Company in recent years, compensates for the unavoidable losses in the Greek market.

c. Risk of technological developments

The technological developments affect to a high degree the competitiveness of companies operating in the field of information technology. Companiesthat operate in the IT industry must be constantly aware of possible differentiations and developments in existing technology and make the necessary investments to ensure a high level of technology.

Based on the above, and for the greatest possible reduction of the risk of technological developments, the Group:

  • Develops products in particularly efficient and internationally recognized platforms,
  • Movesto continuoustraining and education ofthe staff in technological matters, in cooperation with internationally recognized bodies in the field of high technology,
  • Offers innovative applications, corresponding to the complex needs and demands of the market.

For the above reasons, this specific risk is assessed as real but in any case as absolutely manageable at this particular period of time.

d. Credit risk

The Management of the Company and the Group, on the basis of its internal principles of operation, ensures that the sales of goods and services take place towards customers of high credit reliability and lending capacity. Owing to the expansion of the activities of the Company and the Group abroad, the said risk is real in relation to customers originating from other countries (especially from countries of Africa, Asia and N. America) for whom the efficient check of their creditworthiness and reliability, is not always easy. For this reason, the Company and the Group constantly develop and evolve internal mechanisms of operation (regarding the process of negotiations, contracts and project management), with the view to more completely addressing the specific danger.

Within the said context and the assessment methods available to the Group, it has not faced so far any possible exposures of significant size, for which no adequate provision has been formed. Therefore, the said risk, although real in view of the greater negative economic climate, it is assessed today as controllable. However, if there is a deterioration of the conditions for the development of economic activity in the coming months, especially in the Greek market, this risk may affect the results of the Company

The "Other Receivables" account includes an amount of € 2,555 thousand, which concernstwo disputed claims held by the Company from entities of the wider Public Sector. Although the specific claims have not been finalized until today, so that their forced collection is possible, they were nevertheless heard in the first instance with a favorable outcome for the Company, and with regard to the progress of the proceedings before the Court of second instance, they are in the status of judicial expertise, the completion of which is difficult due to objective factors (in particular, a long period of time since the implementation of the projects in question).

Despite the fact that the above-mentioned cases have not been finalized, the Company considers the above-mentioned interest claims to be reasonable, well-founded and amenable to collection, since on the one hand there is evidence of execution and delivery, in accordance with the requirements and specifications imposed by the contractual texts of equipment and services, on the other hand, the opposing parties are still active in their fields of operation, and therefore there is no valid indication of any impairment of the value of the above claims or of the impossibility of collecting them after the issuance of a final judgment.

e. Liquidity risk

Management places great emphasis on effectively managing this specific risk. This involves conducting monthly and quarterly forecasts, continuously monitoring cash flows, and regularly evaluating and reassessing the strategies related to its management.

Within the above framework and based on the existing data, the risk in question is assessed as completely controllable and manageable. The deterioration, however, of the economic conditions of the world market and the overturning of the forecasts for the expected economic growth in combination with the prevailing conditions of uncertainty and insecurity, cannot be ruled out affecting, although controlled to a controlled extent, the liquidity of the Company and the Group.

It is noted that the non- discounted contractual cash flows coincide with the book value of the liabilities. The Group's loans and other liabilities are shown in the following tables:

The loans are simple bilateral loans (not convertible, syndicated, etc.) of variable interest with a total borrowing cost for the closing year of 5.88%, which is considered and indeed is the market interest rate. Borrowing costs are expected to trend lower in the current fiscal year 2024 due to the estimated gradual de-escalation of EURIBOR. Borrowing costs are expected to be offset as the group maintains strong cash reserves which are positively affected by rising interest rates internationally.

f. Exchange rate risk

The Group operates internationally and is therefore exposed to exchange rate risk arising mainly from the US dollar and the British pound. This risk arises mainly from commercial transactions in foreign currency, as well as from net investments in economic entities abroad. The Company's Management constantly monitors the exchange risks that may arise and evaluates the possible need to take relevant measures, but at the present time, the general uncertainty that existsin the global financial environment and the fluctuation of exchange rates, makes the due to a risk existing and able to affect the Group's results and performance during the second (B) semester of the current fiscal year.

g. Interest rate risk

The interest rate risk for the Company is currently considered manageable, given that the Company has a limited and in any case-controlled exposure to bank lending. The Group's policy is to maintain the total amount of borrowing at variable interest rates and to intervene correctively, whenever necessary, and at the same time to avoid, to the extent permitted by business activity in general, exposure to further lending.

The limited exposure of the Group to loan funds makes the change in interest rates unimportant for the Group's results. It is noted that the Group's cash reserves and cash equivalents exceed all bank loans.

h. Risks from climate change

The term 'Climate change' means global climate change due to human activities and caused mainly by an increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

The Company, recognizing both the risks associated with the phenomenon of climate change and its obligations in relation to the need to continuously improve its environmental performance, follows a path ofsustainable development and carries out its activities in a way that ensures the protection of the environment.

To address the risks of climate change, the Company promotes and implements a policy that focuses on the following axes:

✓ design of an emergency plan for the management and reaction to extreme natural phenomena on the premises of the Group's companies;

✓ assessment of the impact of the Company's activities on the environment, recording and evaluating potential risks, taking the necessary preventive measures, carrying out regular checks to confirm implementation and assessing the effectiveness of the measures;

✓ replacement of energy-intensive equipment with new, lower energy requirements;

✓ raising awareness and informing the Company's employees about energy saving issues;

✓ continuous information, training and awareness of staff, in a manner adapted to the tasks and needs of each employee in order to promote an environmentally responsible culture;

✓ motivation of the Company's partners in environmental protection and strengthening their environmental awareness.

i. Risks from the current developments in Ukraine and the wider region of Middle East

Given that the Group does not have a presence in the aforementioned geographic regions through a subsidiary, there does not appear to be an immediate risk in terms of both the Group's productive operation or employee safety. Additionally, there seems to be no direct impact on the Group's turnover since there are no significant implementations in these countries, with the exception of the Middle East region, if and as long as there is a wider geographical escalation in said region.

However, given the extroversion of the Group, the negative impact of the ongoing war conflict on the global economic activity, the continuous revaluations and delays in the supply chain, the intense inflationary pressures that are expected to be a more permanent phenomenon, the slowdown of economic growth at the global level, as well as the impossibility of making safe forecasts and estimates regarding the intensity, duration and overall resolution of the crisis at the present time, make this risk capable of affecting the Group's activity and performance in general.

Semi-annual Financial Report for the period from January 1 to 30 June 2024 For thisreason, the Management monitors on a permanent and systematic basis the developments that change at a rapid rate, in order to ensure the smooth operation of both the Company and the Group.

j. Risks from the energy crisis

The global energy crisis of the last 3 years, as it has been reinforced by the ongoing war in Ukraine as well as the wider unrest in the Middle East region, due to the dependence of Europe from third-party resources in the supply of natural gas and oil, caused repeated increases in their disposal prices. According to the forecasts, further negative impacts are expected during the following months due to the energy crisis at the global level. Therefore, the maintenance of the energy crisis may bring about a further increase in the Group's operating expenses but also reduce the demand for the Group's products and services depending on the duration and intensity of the phenomenon. In any case, the Group's Management monitors the developments closely and on a daily basis, while evaluating and taking the measures deemed appropriate and necessary to limit the impacts of the energy crisis, so that the Group's financial performance and results are affected to the least possible extent.

6. SEGMENT REPORTING

For administrative purposes, the Group has organized its entity according to the categories of products and services in which it operates. In particular, the Group's activities constitute two main categories: a) that of solutions aimed at the financial sector and b) that of business solutions aimed at public and private organizations.

Considering the increase in activity in the area of business solutions related to public works, it is logical to see an increased reliance of the Group on customers in the wider public sector. Business solutions activity includes projects that either have secured funding from the public budget or are part of the Development and Resilience Fund. In this context, the risk of vulnerability is considered extremely low. For the rest of the customers, there is no issue of dependence, as each individually varies below the levels of 10% of the Group's total sales. This enhances the diversity of the Group's customer base and reduces the risk of material dependence on any single customer.

The Company is functionally organized according to product and service categories. More specifically, in the case of the Company, there are two main categories, that of solutions aimed at the financial sector (such as Finuevo Core, Finuevo Digital, RiskAvert, IMSplus, Axia, Acumennet) and that ofsolutions aimed at public (mainly ad hoc projects, such as recording court sessions) and private organizations.

The Company has chosen to organize its entity by product categories as above, and not by geographic regions, as it does not consider them representative, because "research & development" which is an important factor for the Company is not related to geographic regions, and also, the results per

geographical area are likely to be influenced by contemporary reasons and therefore do not provide reliable information. For example, a new customer in a certain geographic region is billed with licenses that do not repeat the following year, even though the same customer is retained the following year and is billed with maintenance contracts, which are of lower value than the licenses.

Nevertheless, for the sake of more complete information to the investing public, it is announced that 75% of the revenues of the Financial Sector of the Group came from non-domestic clients, while all of the revenues of the Business sector came from domestic clients.

8. INCOME TAXES

The amount of taxes has been calculated using the actual tax rates for each fiscal year. Non-deductible expenses include mainly provisions that are reversed by Management when calculating income tax.

Income tax statements are filed on a yearly basis, but profits and losses reported for tax purposes are concluded when the tax authorities review the tax returns and taxpayers' books at the time that the related tax liabilities are settled. Tax losses, to the extent that are recognized by the tax authorities, may be used to offset profits for the five following fiscal years after the current fiscal year.

The following is a reconciliation for nominal and effective tax rates for the Group and the Company:

The fact that in some cases, income and expenses are accounted for in a different time from the date when such income is tax charged or the expenses are deducted for the purpose of determining the taxable income, creates the need to account for deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities.

9. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The earnings per share are calculated by dividing net earnings attributable to Shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding shares purchased by the Company that are shown as own shares (note 19). The calculation of earnings per share on 30.06.2024 and 30.06.2023 is as follows:

Basic earnings per share 0,1040 0,0612
Weighted average number of shares in circulation 24.500.342 24.377.687
Net profit attributable to the shareholders of the parent company 2.548.057 1.490.903
GROUP 1/1/2024-
30/6/2024
1/1/2023-
30/6/2023

The calculation of the impaired earnings per share on 30.06.2024 and 30.06.2023, respectively, is as follows:

1/1/2024- 1/1/2023-
GROUP 30/6/2024 30/6/2023
Net profit attributable to the shareholders of the parent company 2.548.057 1.490.903

Weighted average number of shares for the calculation of impaired earnings
per share
24.692.833 24.707.836
Impaired earnings per share 0,1032 0,0603

Impaired earnings per share are obtained by adjusting the weighted average of existing ordinary shares during the period for potentially issued ordinary shares. The Company has shares of this class, which result from a program of granting stock options to the personnel of the Group.

Revenues receivable mainly relate to implementation contracts with two public sector bodies, while the related costs are presented in the Accrued expenses and interest payable line (note 23).

The "Disputed receivables" account concerns an amount of € 2,555 thousand, which concerns two disputed receivables held by the Company from entities of the wider Public Sector. Although the specific claims have not become final until today, so that their forced collection is possible, they were nevertheless heard in the first instance with a favorable outcome for the Company, and with regard to the progress of the proceedings before the Court of second instance, they are in the status of judicial expertise, the completion of which is difficult due to objective factors(in particular, a long period of time since the implementation of the projects in question).

Despite the fact that the above-mentioned cases have not been finalized, the Company considers the above-mentioned interest claims to be reasonable, well-founded and amenable to collection, since on the one hand there is evidence of execution and delivery, in accordance with the requirements and specifications imposed by the contractual texts of equipment and services, on the other hand, the opposing parties are still active in their fields of operation, and therefore there is no valid indication of any impairment of the value of the above claims or of the impossibility of collecting them after the issuance of a final judgment.

26. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

Fair value: The carrying amounts reflected in the accompanying statements of financial position for cash and cash equivalents, trade and other accounts receivable, prepayments, trade and other accounts payable and accrued and other current liabilities, approximate their respective fair values due to the relatively short-term maturity of these financial instruments.

The fair value of the Group's and the Company's long-term loans as at 30.06.2024, as shown in the financial statements, does not differ significantly from the book value, as they relate to simple bilateral loans from banking institutions with floating interest rates that are within the market, they are based on Euribor plus a margin (spread) and are therefore variable according to market conditions. Also, the loans are in euros, and are not convertible, nor do they have any encumbrances, commitments or special clauses.

Consequently, although these loans are classified in the category 1-5 years, there is no difference between the fair value and the accounting obligations in relation to those liabilities.

The Group usesthe following hierarchy to determine and disclose the fair value of financial instruments, by valuation technique:

  • Level 1: traded (unadjusted) prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities;
  • Level 2: othertechniquesfor which all inputsthat have a significant effect on recorded fair value are observable either directly or indirectly,
  • Level 3: techniques that use inputs that have a significant effect on recorded fair value and are not based on observable market data.

For assets and liabilities recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines if there have been transfers between hierarchy levels, through the re-evaluation and classification (based on the lower-level data that are important for the measurement of fair value as a whole) at the end of each reference period.

At each reference date, the Group analyzesthe changes in value of liabilitiessubject to recalculation and revaluation in accordance with its accounting policies. For this analysis, management verifies the major inputs applied in the later assessment, confirming the data used in the valuation, through contracts and other relevant documents.

During this period, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, and no transfers into and out of Level 3 for fair value measurements.

The table below provides the hierarchy of the fair values of the Group's assets and liabilities.
