Section B΄

Main Risks and Uncertainties for the 2nd Half of 2022

The most common risks that the Group is likely to be exposed to at the second half of the current year are the following:

COVID-19 and the energy crisis impact on macroeconomic figures

Although the course of the pandemic seems to have leveled off and the effects have been significantly limited, both on a macroeconomic level and in terms of the Group's performance, the situation in Ukraine have overturned the estimated prospects of the rate of recovery of the European and Greek economy. The Group has no exposure to the markets of Russia, Belarus and Ukraine, as it does not operate in these countries. Furthermore, the Group does not own assets or has liabilities in these countries. The Management, considering the internal and external sources of information, concluded that there are no signs of impairment of its assets, as a result of the developments in the above countries. In addition, and with regard to potential risks, the Group is not exposed to credit and exchange risk in relation to these countries. Although the Group does not operate in war-torn countries, price increases, primarily of energy and other commodities, lead to an increase in consumer prices and consequently affect demand. Inflation rate in the first half of the current fiscal year, increased by an average of 9.3 percentage points and it is certain that, within 2022, it cannot return to pre-pandemic levels and/or maintain the satisfactory figures of 2021. In the above, we should consider the increase in interest rates by the European Central Bank for the first time after eleven years. Therefore, at least in the short term, the secondary effects of the price increase adversely affect the Group's cost structure and lead to a limitation of the real income of consumers and with it the propensity to consume. Although the latter has not yet been recorded in the demand for the Group's products, it is likely to occur if the situation in Ukraine and the energy market does not normalize.

1. Financial Risk factors

The total bond borrowing of the Group and the Company on 30.06.2022 amounts to €12.640 thousand, of which the greater part concerns to long-term borrowing (€10.800 thousand, compared to €11.720 thousand on 31.12.2021), while a limited portion is related to the short-term borrowing which amounts to €1.840 thousand (€3.640 thousand on 31.12.2021). The total amount of borrowing refers to bond issues, of which €7.140 pertains to common floating rate bond loans covered by the National Bank, while €5.500 pertains to floating rate loans obtained from Eurobank. Short-term bank borrowing was nil at both balance sheet dates.

The table below states the sensitivity of the results of the period as well as of equity, to a change in the interest rate of +1% or - 1%. The relevant effects are shown below:

A) Interest rate increase by 1%:

  • the operating results as well as the equity of the Group and the Company, in this case would be charged by €126 thousand on 01.01- 30.06.2022 and by €174 thousand on 01.01-30.06.2021 respectively.

B) Interest rate reduction by 1%:

  • the operating results as well as the equity of the Group and the Company, in this case would improve by €126 thousand on 01.01- 30.06.2022 and by €174 thousand on 01.01-30.06.2021 respectively.

The level of lending interest rates is maintained at a satisfactory level due to the excellent capital structure of the Group, the absolute consistency over time in the repayment of its financial obligations, and the relations of cooperation and trust it maintains with the banking system. At the same time, the liquidity of the Group is maintained over time and on 30.06.2022 at a particularly high level, as the total cash reserves exceed all its bank borrowings.

2. Credit Risk

The Group does not maintain significant concentration of credit risk in any of its contracting parties, mainly due to the wide dispersion of its clientele. Retail sales are carried out in cash or via credit cards, while regarding wholesale sales, the Group, based on its internal operating principles, grants credit, examining the creditworthiness of customers on a case-by-case basis. In addition, according to the Group's standard policy, most of the receivables from customers are insured. The Company has divided its clientele into named and unnamed customers, Greek State balances are not subject to insurance.

The Group and the Company performs provision for doubtful customers, as detailed in Note 13.

The impairment provision of trade receivables includes:

a) a clearly defined provision for those customers who have been characterized as unsafe,

b) a specific impairment for those customers who have overdue balances based on the coming of age of their balances,

c) a forecast, based on an increased risk factor, due to the conditions of the wider environment, considering the reduced liquidity of Greek companies and their difficulty in accessing bank financing.

This amount includes provision for expected losses and from non-overdue receivables, based on a calculation of all receivables from customers, except for the receivables from Plaisio Computers JSC, as, in the latter case, it is estimated that there is no risk of inability to collect the receivables, since Plaisio Computers JSC is 100% controlled by the Parent Company. The debit balance of the subsidiary in question to Plaisio amounts to €248 thousand on 30.06.2022.

d) at Group level, a provision for the remaining receivables from the Greek State, including non-overdue receivables.

On 30.06.2022, the total amount of receivables from trade and other receivables amounted to €30.425 thousand and €30.193 thousand for the Group and the Company respectively, while the provision for doubtful customers-debtors amounted to €2.444 thousand and €2.363 thousand respectively. On 31.12.2021, the relevant amount was €27.766 thousand and €27.751 thousand, for the Group and the Company respectively, while the provisions for doubtful customers-debtors were set at €2.743 thousand and €2.659 thousand. Therefore, the ratio of provisions to receivables decreased for the Group to 8,0% at the end of the first half of 2022, compared to 9,9% at the end of the previous year. The relevant figures for the Company were 7,8% and 9,6% on 30.06.2022 and 31.12.2021, respectively.

The increase in absolute figures of the remaining trade receivables by 9,6% compared to 31.12.2021, is mainly due to the "Digital Care 2" program. The balance of the relevant receivable from the Greek State on 30.06.2022 amounts to €2.383 thousand and, according to the terms of the program, it is expected to be collected during the second half of the current fiscal year. In any case, the Management monitors closely the maturity of the remaining trade receivables, with the result that approximately 95% of them are categorized in terms of repayment time, between 0-90 days.

In conclusion, the insurance of the balances, combined with the Company's practice of following a conservative approach in the formation of impairments, support the assessment that the risk in question is controllable and any negative effects in the future limited.

3. Inventory and Suppliers Risks

The Group takes all the necessary measures (insurance, safekeeping) to minimize the risk and potential damages due to loss of inventory from natural disasters, theft, etc. At the same time, since the Group operates in the high technology sector, where the risk of impairment of inventory is significant, Management reviews their net realizable value at regular intervals and forms appropriate provisions, so that their fair value is reflected in the financial statements.

On 30.06.2022 the amount of net inventory amounted to €77.093 thousand, as from €81.917 gross value of these, a provision for impairment €7.735 thousand was performed, while the inventory in transit 30.06.2022 was €2.911 thousand.

The corresponding amounts for the Company amounted to €75.335 thousand net inventory, where from €80.105 thousand gross value of these, an impairment provision of €7.682 thousand was performed, while the inventory in transit on 30.06.2022 amounted to €2.911 thousand.

On 30.06.2022 the inventory increased by 17.1% because of the necessary stocking in the context of the preparation for "Digital Care 2" and "Recycle-Change Device" which started during the second half of the year. Therefore, the inventory turnover rate of inventory circulation has increased to 90 days compared to 67 in the previous fiscal year 2021, and at the same time, an increased impairment of inventory provision has been made, amounting to €7.735 thousand compared to €7.283 thousand in fiscal year 2021.

In any case, in the current circumstances and considering both the upward trend in prices, the course of the exchange rate of the dollar against the euro and disruptions in the supply chain, the Group's Management prioritizes the adequacy of inventory to ensure the uninterrupted availability of products to its customers.

Regarding the risk of suppliers, the Company considers it to be limited. As in previous periods, two suppliers contribute more than 10% of the total value of the Group's supplies, in percentage (15,7% and 12,4%). With these suppliers, the Group maintains a long-term and undisturbed professional relationship, without any conflict of interest. At the same time, as regards the advance payments given by the Company, these are distributed to the suppliers in relative proportion to the value of the products/raw materials with which they supply it. The above signals the permanent policy of the Management to ensure that there is no dependence on individual suppliers and to minimize the relative risk in the event of a break in cooperation or the possible bankruptcy of a supplier, a policy which is not expected to be modified in the rest of 2022.

4. Foreign Exchange Risk

Foreign exchange risk is the risk of fluctuations in the value of financial instruments, assets, and liabilities due to changes in exchange rates. The majority of Group's transactions and balances are carried out in Euros. At the same time, the Group maintains deposits in foreign currency, while there are no loan obligations in a currency other than the Euro. The Group, if deemed necessary, hedges the exchange rate risk by entering derivative contracts, without making use of hedge accounting.

The Management constantly monitors the foreign exchange risk that may arise and evaluates the need to take relevant measures. As suppliers are often billed in US dollars, the use of hedging is common, resulting in variations in exchange rate results from period to period. The Group maintains deposits in dollars amounting to € 2,4 million. The Group's activity in Bulgaria does not increase this risk, as the exchange rate of the Bulgarian currency with the Euro is stable.

5. Seasonality

Sales' seasonality demands rational working capital management and smooth inventory inflows in order to avoid any shortage and as a consequence the operating risk remains in low levels. The Group's sales are characterized by limited seasonality as 55% of the total sales are realized in the second half of the year. In the second semester of the year, the sales from the beginning of the school and academic year, the sales from Black Friday and the sales from the Christmas period are realized. Despite the seasonality, the Management estimates the referred risk as limited due to the wide liquidity and the ability to act immediately in cases of necessity of increased inventory and due to the retention of sufficient inventory for the needs of the Group.

6. Competition

The Company operates in an intensively competitive industry, as there are many retailers which operate in the consumer electronics sector, resulting in lower gross profit margins. However, due to the multi-product approach and the differentiation it offers to the Group (e.g., office products), it is not an easy exercise to identify an identical business model in the market. In the last years, we observe high level of concentration in a low number of companies which have sufficient capital in order to cope with adverse evolutions in the Market. This happens, mainly, due to the intense competition, the suppressed profit margins and given the need for increased working capital lead to increased finance cost. In such an environment, the Group achieves over time one of the best performance margins, and consistently shows profitability, facts that prove the success in the referred Market.

However, the competition may change in the future with the entrance of new competitors in the market or with the amendments of the strategy of the already existed competitors. Also, in periods when the consuming spend is stable or decreasing, the competition can lead to redistribution of the market shares. The intensity of competition may negatively affect the turnover and the profitability of the Group.

7. Liquidity Risk

The Group retains high level of cash and cash equivalents, which significantly exceed the total of its exposure to borrowing, while at the same time it has pre-approved credit balances to minimize liquidity risk. The Group is also highly estimated by the Greek banks and its vendors, because its 53-year dynamic course in the Greek market.

The financial liabilities of the Group and of the Company on 30.06.2022 are analyzed as follows:

Sales

The Group's sales in the first half of 2022 amounted to €192,182 thousand compared to €199,219 thousand in the corresponding period of 2021, slightly reduced by 3,53%. The Group's sales are affected both in the current and the comparable period by the "Digital Care" program. For the first half of 2022, the "Digital Care II" program started in May 2022, while for the corresponding comparable period, the "Digital Care I" program started in April 2021 and had a significantly higher budget compared to the current fiscal year 2022. Sales of the Group in the first half of 2022, minus the impact of Digital Care both from the current and from the comparable period, shows an increase of 1,42%.

Sales of Computers and digital equipment showed a decline during the first half of the current fiscal year 2022 amounting to 20,87% which is due on the one hand to the impact of the "Digital Care" program and further due to the reduced consumer need to buy PCs and digital applications. Excluding the overall impact of Digital Care, the Computers and digital equipment sector would be down 12,5%. Finally, with regard to consumer needs for Computers and digital equipment, for two consecutive years during the pandemic period, consumers have had the need to purchase and/or upgrade Computers and digital equipment due to increased work from home and in general the digital transition that has taken place, therefore these increased the customer's needs for Computers and digital equipment have decreased as expected.

The Group's traditional sales category, sales of Office Equipment amounted to €50.262 thousand, compared to €46.445 thousand for the comparable period of 2021, showing a steady increase of 8,22%, consequently the contribution of sales of this category on of the total, increased by 2,8 p.p. (Contribution rate 6M 2022: 26,15% versus Contribution rate 6M 2021: 23,31%) on the total consolidated sales.

Sales of Telecom Equipment showed a double-digit increase of 14,11%, as they reached €43.102 thousand for the first half of the current financial year 2022, compared to €37.771 thousand for the corresponding comparable period, thus significantly increasing their participation in total sales in 22,43% versus 18,96%.

The sales of Domestic Appliances amounted to €21.247 thousand for the first half of the current fiscal year 2022 compared to €17.766 thousand for the corresponding comparable period, presenting for yet another period the highest growth rate of 19,59%. Now the sales of Domestic Appliances contribute with a double-digit percentage in the consolidated sales with a contribution rate of 11,06% compared to 8,92% for the corresponding comparable period.

Section E

Alternative Performance Measures ("APM")

As Alternative Performance Measure (APM) is considered, according to the definition of the European Capital Commission, a financial ratio which measures the historical or the future financial performance, financial position or cash flows, which is not defined by the IFRS. Even if APM are not included in IFRS, APM have to be evaluated supplementary with the figures provisioned by the IFRS and always in combination with the IFRS results.

The Group uses in a limited extent the Alternative Performance Measures ("APM") during the publication of the financial performance with target the better understandability of the operating results of the Group and its financial position. Plaisio has as a general principle, the presentation of the examined performance measures to be clear, in order for the measures to be suitable and useful for the decision making by the users of the interim financial statements.

Α. Net Debt (Net Liquidity): Consist of an APM that is used in order to estimate the capital structure of the Group. It is calculated as the difference between the total debt (long-term and short-term) and the total of cash and cash equivalents. Net debt is an "APM" which is used by the Management for the evaluation of the capital structure of the Group and the leverage ability. Net debt is calculated by adding to long-term loans, the short-term part and the short-term bank loans minus the cash and cash equivalents (see table below). If the result of the aforementioned difference is negative (as in the case of Plaisio) indicates the liquidity of the Company exceeds its total liabilities.

Β. Earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation/amortisation – EBITDA: EBITDA constitutes the most used measure of operating effectiveness, because it considers only the expenses that are relative with the daily operation of the Group and the Company. EBITDA is the sum of the turnover with the other operating income minus the cost of sales and the total operating expenses before depreciation, amortization, and impairment as it is presented in the table below. EBITDA expressed as a percentage to sales is calculated by dividing EBITDA with the Sales.

Subsequent Events

Apart from the above-mentioned events, there are no other significant events, after June 30, 2022, which concern either the Group or the Company, to which reference is required by the IFRS.

Section G΄

Prospects for the second half of 2022

The challenges for the global and Greek economy that intensified in the first half of 2022, continue during the current period. The war in Ukraine further affected the already high energy prices, while creating a climate of political and economic uncertainty, especially in Europe. Supply chain malfunctions also persist, due to various geopolitical reasons, but also due to continuous lockdowns in areas of China with strong production towards global markets. The above factors exacerbated the inflationary pressures, already evident in the last quarter of 2021, with the result that, during the current period, the CPI exceeds 9% at the European level and fluctuates at a doubledigit rate in our country. Following these, an important and expected development was the decision of the Central Banks to proceed with a bold increase in interest rates, first in the USA and recently in Europe as well. In addition to the estimated negative impact of the rise in lending rates on global growth, the Company could be affected by the reasonable uncertainty created by consumers regarding the ability to repay their credit obligations and consequently the retention of the per capita amount they channel in markets. Although the Group has already implemented techniques to compensate and prevent the related risks, including long-term partnerships with its main suppliers, and although the course of the year so far is encouraging, it cannot be ruled out that in the coming months, a partial prevention, at least, of consumer confidence in the retail sector. An important role in the trend seems to be played by the energy prices that households will be asked to pay, following any state or private subsidies, and at the same time the size and time of implementation of Greek State programs to support households in sectors related to the Group's activities. It should be noted that the second half of the year traditionally contributes the largest percentage of the Group's annual sales and therefore the level at which they will fluctuate is particularly critical, especially in specific periods of time at the beginning of the school year, the week of Black Friday and the period of Christmas. Based on the above uncertainties and the various factors that will affect the macroeconomic environment, the estimate on the one hand for the evolution of the turnover in the coming months but also the final configuration of the performance margins, which will ultimately shape the annual result, is hard to detect.

Section H΄

Board of Directors

In accordance with the article 10 of Company's Articles of Association,, the Company is managed by a Board of Directors, consisting of three (3) to nine (9) members, who are elected by the General Meeting of Shareholders with an absolute majority of the votes represented at the Meeting. The members of the Board of Directors are indefinitely re-electable and can be freely recalled by the General Assembly of Shareholders, regardless of the time of expiry of their term. The term of the members of the Board of Directors is five (5) years. It starts from the day after the day of their election by the General Assembly and fulfilled on the specific date of the fifth year, while, in accordance with the law, it is automatically extended until the expiry of the statutory period within which the next annual General Assembly of Shareholders must be convened and until the relevant decision is taken. Their term cannot be exceed six years. The General Assembly of Shareholders may also elect substitute members, equal in number to the elected regular members.

Substitute members may only be used to replace members of the Board of Directors who have resigned, died, or lost their title in any other way.

In case of resignation, death or any other way of loss of a member of the Board of Directors, the remaining members, in case there are at least three (3), are required to elect a temporary substitute for the remaining term of the member being replaced, in this case this replacement is not possible by the substitute members, who may have been elected by the General Assembly.

In the event of resignation, death or in any other way loss of membership of the Board of Directors, the remaining members may continue to manage and represent the continue the management and representation of the Company and without the replacement of the missing members, provided that their number exceeds half of the members, as they had before the occurrence of the above events. In any case, these members may not be less than three (3).

According to the provisions of article 5 par. 1 of Law 4706/2020, as currently in force, the members of the Board of Directors are divided into executive, non-executive, and independent non-executive members. The status of the members of the Board of Directors as executive or non-executive is determined by the Board of Directors and the independent non-executive members are elected by the General Assembly or exceptionally appointed by the Board of Directors in the case of par. 4 of article 9 of N 4706/2020.

According to the definition of article 2 par. 5 of Law 4706/2020, the members of the Board of Directors of the Company who are defined as executive, are those who have executive powers regarding the management of the Company, in the context of the duties assigned to them.

The executive members of the Board of Directors are mostly responsible for the implementation of the strategy determined by the Board of Directors and consult at regular intervals with the non-executive members of the Board of Directors, regarding the eligibility of the implemented strategy.

The non-executive members are charged with promoting the company's goals and issues and safeguarding the Company's interests. According to the definition of article 2 par. 4 of Law 4706/2020, the members of the Board of Directors who are defined as non-executive, are those who do not have executive authorities in the management of the Company within the framework of the tasks assigned to them, in addition to the general duties reserved to them as members of the Board of Directors and they have been charged with the role of systematic monitoring and supervision (oversight) of decision-making by the Management.

Article 3 of Law 4706/2020 introduces the obligation of joint-stock companies with shares or other securities listed on a regulated market in Greece to have a Suitability Policy in order to ensure quality staffing, efficient operation and fulfillment of the role of the Board of Directors with based on the Company's general strategy and medium-long-term business goals, with the aim of promoting the corporate interest. In accordance with the provisions of article 3 par. 1 and 3 of Law 4706/2020, the Suitability Policy is drawn up and approved initially by the Board of Directors and then submitted for final approval to the General Assembly. The Company must monitor the effectiveness of the Remuneration Policy and periodically evaluate it at regular intervals or when significant events or changes take place. The currently applicable Eligibility Policy is posted on the Company's website. The Operating Regulations of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee include the nomination process for the candidate members of the Board of Directors in which the approved and applicable Eligibility Policy for the members of the Board of Directors is applied. The Board of Directors is responsible for monitoring the implementation of the Suitability Policy with the assistance of the Internal Audit Unit or the Regulatory Compliance Unit and the Remuneration and Nomination Committee.

In particular, the currently existing Board of Directors of the Company was elected by the Annual Ordinary General Assembly of shareholders on June 8th, 2021 and constituted a body during the meeting of June 8th 2021. The duration of tenure was set for five years, starting on June 8th, 2021, and ending on June 8th, 2026.

The Board of Directors

Report on Review of Interim Financial Information

To the Board of directors of "PLAISIO COMPUTERS S.A."

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying company and consolidated statement of financial position of "PLAISIO COMPUTERS S.A." (the "Company"), as of 30 June 2022 and the related company and consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flow statements for the six-month period then ended, and the selected explanatory notes that comprise the interim financial information and which form an integral part of the six-month financial report as required by L.3556/2007.

Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as they have been adopted by the European Union and applied to interim financial reporting (International Accounting Standard "IAS 34"). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, as they have been transposed into Greek Law and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

2.1 Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements

The interim financial statements of the Company and the Group dated June 30th, 2022, refer to period from January 1st, 2022, to June 30th 2022. They have been compiled based on I.A.S 34 "Interim Financial Information" and have to be examined in comparison to the annual financial statements of December 31st, 2021, which are available on the company web site www.plaisio.gr. The comparable data, wherever it has deemed necessary were adjusted according to the changes the Group has made in the presentation of the financial statements.

2.2 Basic Accounting Policies

The accounting policies that have been used in the preparation and presentation of the current financial statements are in accordance with those used for the preparation of the Company and Group financial statements as of December 31st , 2021 and the new IFRSs mandatory applied from 1st January 2022. The interim consolidated financial statements have been compiled based on the historical cost principle.

The preparation of the Financial Statements, in conformity with IFRS, requires the use of certain estimates and assumptions which affect the balances of the assets and liabilities, the contingencies disclosure as at the balance sheet date of the financial statements and the amounts of income and expense relating to the reporting year. These estimates are based on the best of the knowledge of the Company's and Group's management in relation to the current conditions and actions. Any differences between amounts in the primary financial statements and similar amounts detailed in the explanatory notes are due to rounding of figures.

2.3 Standards and Interpretations

New standards, amendments to standards and interpretations: Certain new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been issued that are mandatory for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022. The Group's evaluation of the effect of these new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations is as follows:

Standards and Interpretations effective for the current financial year

IFRS 16 (Amendment) 'Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions'

The amendment extends the application period of the practical expedient in relation to rent concessions by one year to cover rental concessions that reduce leases due only on or before 30 June 2022.

IAS 16 (Amendment) 'Property, Plant and Equipment – Proceeds before Intended Use

The amendment prohibits an entity from deducting from the cost of an item of PP&E any proceeds received from selling items produced while the entity is preparing the asset for its intended use. It also requires entities to separately disclose the amounts of proceeds and costs relating to such items produced that are not an output of the entity's ordinary activities.

IAS 37 (Amendment) 'Onerous Contracts – Cost of Fulfilling a Contract'

The amendment clarifies that 'costs to fulfil a contract' comprise the incremental costs of fulfilling that contract and an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling contracts. The amendment also clarifies that, before a separate provision for an onerous contract is established, an entity recognizes any impairment loss that has occurred on assets used in fulfilling the contract, rather than on assets dedicated to that contract.

IFRS 3 (Amendment) 'Reference to the Conceptual Framework'

The amendment updated the standard to refer to the 2018 Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting, in order to determine what constitutes an asset or a liability in a business combination. In addition, an exception was added for some types of liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired in a business combination. Finally, it is clarified that the acquirer should not recognize contingent assets, as defined in IAS 37, at the acquisition date.

Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018–2020

IFRS 9 'Financial instruments'

The amendment addresses which fees should be included in the 10% test for derecognition of financial liabilities. Costs or fees could be paid to either third parties or the lender. Under the amendment, costs or fees paid to third parties will not be included in the 10% test.

IFRS 16 'Leases'

The amendment removed the illustration of payments from the lessor relating to leasehold improvements in Illustrative Example 13 of the standard in order to remove any potential confusion about the treatment of lease incentives.

IAS 41 'Agriculture'

The amendment has removed the requirement for entities to exclude cash flows for taxation when measuring fair value under IAS 41.

Standards and Interpretations effective for subsequent periods

IFRS 17 'Insurance contracts and Amendments to IFRS 17 (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023)

IFRS 17 has been issued in May 2017 and, along with the Amendments to IFRS 17 issued in June 2020, supersedes IFRS 4. IFRS 17 establishes principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of insurance contracts within the scope of the Standard and its objective is to ensure that an entity provides relevant information that faithfully represents those contracts. The new standard solves the comparison problems created by IFRS 4 by requiring all insurance contracts to be accounted for in a consistent manner. Insurance obligations will be accounted for using current values instead of historical cost.

3. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

3.1 Factors of financial risk

The Group is exposed to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Group's financial performance.

The main risks are the following:

i) Foreign exchange risk

Foreign exchange risk is the risk of fluctuations in the value of financial instruments, assets, and liabilities due to changes in exchange rates. The majority of Group's transactions and balances are carried out in Euros. At the same time, the Group maintains deposits in foreign currency, while there are no loan obligations in a currency other than the Euro. The Group, if deemed necessary, hedges the exchange rate risk by entering derivative contracts, without making use of hedge accounting.

The Management constantly monitors the foreign exchange risk that may arise and evaluates the need to take relevant measures. As suppliers are often billed in US dollars, the use of hedging is common, resulting in variations in exchange rate results from period to period. The Group maintains deposits in dollars amounting to € 2,4 million. The Group's activity in Bulgaria does not increase this risk, as the exchange rate of the Bulgarian currency with the Euro is stable.

ii) Cash flow and fair value of interest rate risk

The Group monitors its interest rate exposure on a dynamic basis. Various scenarios are simulated taking into consideration refinancing, renewal of existing positions, alternative financing, and hedging. Based on these scenarios, the Group calculates the impact on profit and loss of a defined interest rate shift.

The policy of the Company is to keep loans at a low level, assuring while there is a financing capability from the banks that Plaisio cooperates with that satisfies without a problem the planned development of the Group.

The total bond borrowing of the Group and the Company on 30.06.2022 amounts to €12,640 thousand, of which the greater part concerns to long-term borrowing (€10.800 thousand, compared to €11.720 thousand on 31.12.2021), while a limited portion is related to the short-term borrowing which amounts to €1.840 thousand (€3.640 thousand on 31.12.2021). The total amount of

borrowing refers to bond issues, of which €7.140 pertains to common floating rate bond loans covered by the National Bank, while €5.500 pertains to floating rate loans obtained from Eurobank. Short-term bank borrowing was nil at both balance sheet dates.

The table below states the sensitivity of the results of the period as well as of equity, to a change in the interest rate of +1% or -1%. The relevant effects are shown below:

A) Interest rate increase by 1%:

  • the operating results as well as the equity of the Group and the Company, in this case would be charged by €126 thousand on 01.01-30.06.2022 and by €174 thousand on 01.01-30.06.2021 respectively.

B) Interest rate reduction by 1%:

  • the operating results as well as the equity of the Group and the Company, in this case would improve by €126 thousand on 01.01- 30.06.2022 and by €174 thousand on 01.01-30.06.2021 respectively.

The level of lending interest rates is maintained at a satisfactory level due to the excellent capital structure of the Group, the absolute consistency over time in the repayment of its financial obligations, and the relations of cooperation and trust it maintains with the banking system. At the same time, the liquidity of the Group is maintained over time and on 30.06.2022 at a particularly high level, as the total cash reserves exceed all its bank borrowings.

iii) Credit Risk

Retail sales are carried out in cash or via credit cards, while regarding wholesale sales, the Group, based on its internal operating principles, grants credit, examining the creditworthiness of customers on a case-by-case basis. In addition, according to the Group's standard policy, most of the receivables from customers are insured. The Company has divided its clientele into named and unnamed customers. State balances are not subject to insurance.

The Group and the Company form a provision for doubtful customers, as detailed in Note 13.

The impairment provision of trade receivables includes:

a) a clearly defined provision for those customers who have been characterized as unsafe,

b) a specific impairment for those customers who have overdue balances based on the coming of age of their balances,

c) a forecast, based on an increased risk factor, due to the conditions of the wider environment, considering the reduced liquidity of Greek companies and their difficulty in accessing bank financing.

This amount includes provision for expected losses and from non-overdue receivables, based on a calculation of all receivables from customers, except for the receivables from Plaisio Computers JSC, as, in the latter case, it is estimated that there is no risk of inability to collect the receivables, since Plaisio Computers JSC is 100% controlled by the Parent Company. The debit balance of the subsidiary in question to Plaisio amounts to €248 thousand on 30.06.2022.

d) at Group level, a provision for the remaining receivables from the Greek State, including non-overdue receivables.

On 30.06.2022, the total amount of receivables from trade and other receivables amounted to €30.425 thousand and €30.193 thousand for the Group and the Company respectively, while the provision for doubtful customers-debtors amounted to €2.444 thousand and €2.363 thousand respectively. On 31.12.2021, the relevant amount was €27.766 thousand and €27.751 thousand, for the Group and the Company respectively, while the provisions for doubtful customers-debtors were set at €2.743 thousand and €2.659 thousand. Therefore, the ratio of provisions to receivables decreased for the Group to 8,0% at the end of the first half of 2022, compared to 9,9% at the end of the previous year. The relevant figures for the Company were 7,8% and 9,6% on 30.06.2022 and 31.12.2021, respectively.

The increase in absolute figures of the remaining trade receivables by 9,6% compared to 31.12.2021, is mainly due to the "Digital Care 2" program. The balance of the relevant receivable from the Greek State on 30.06.2022 amounts to €2.383 thousand and, according to the terms of the program, it is expected to be collected during the second half of the current fiscal year. In any case,

the Management monitors closely the maturity of the remaining trade receivables, with the result that approximately 95% of them are categorized in terms of repayment time, between 0-90 days.

In conclusion, the insurance of the balances, combined with the Company's practice of following a conservative approach in the formation of impairments, support the assessment that the risk in question is controllable and any negative effects in the future limited.

iv) Inventory and Suppliers Risks

The Group takes all the necessary measures (insurance, safekeeping) to minimize the risk and potential damages due to loss of inventory from natural disasters, theft, etc. At the same time, since the Group operates in the high technology sector, where the risk of impairment of inventory is significant, Management reviews their net realizable value at regular intervals and forms appropriate provisions, so that their fair value is reflected in the financial statements.

On 30.06.2022 the number of net inventory amounted to €77.093 thousand, as from €81.917 gross value of these, a provision for impairment €7.735 thousand was performed, while the inveontory in transit 30.06.2022 was €2.911 thousand.

The corresponding amounts for the Company amounted to €75.335 thousand net inventory, where from €80.105 thousand gross value of these, an impairment provision of €7.682 thousand was performed, while the inventory in transit on 30.06.2022 amounted to €2.911 thousand.

On 30.06.2022 the inventory increased by 17,1% because of the necessary stocking in the context of the preparation for "Digital Care 2" and "Recycle-Change Device" which started during the second half of the year. Therefore, the inventory turnover rate of inventory circulation has increased to 90 days compared to 67 in the previous fiscal year 2021, and at the same time, an increased impairment of inventory provision has been made, amounting to €7.735 thousand compared to €7.283 thousand in fiscal year 2021.

In any case, in the current circumstances and considering both the upward trend in prices, the course of the exchange rate of the dollar against the euro and disruptions in the supply chain, the Group's Management prioritizes the adequacy of inventory to ensure the uninterrupted availability of products to its customers.

Regarding the risk of suppliers, the Company considers it to be limited. As in previous periods, two suppliers contribute more than 10% of the total value of the Group's supplies, in percentage (15,7% and 12,4%). With these suppliers, the Group maintains a longterm and undisturbed professional relationship, without any conflict of interest. At the same time, as regards the advance payments given by the Company, these are distributed to the suppliers in relative proportion to the value of the products/raw materials with which they supply it. The above signals the permanent policy of the Management to ensure that there is no dependence on individual suppliers and to minimize the relative risk in the event of a break in cooperation or the possible bankruptcy of a supplier, a policy which is not expected to be modified in the rest of 2022.

v) Seasonality

Sales' seasonality demands rational working capital management and smooth inventory inflows in order to avoid any shortage and as a consequence the operating risk remains in low levels. The Group's sales are characterized by limited seasonality as 55% of the total sales are realized in the second half of the year. In the second semester of the year, the sales from the beginning of the school and academic year, the sales from Black Friday and the sales from the Christmas period are realized. Despite the seasonality, the Management estimates the referred risk as limited due to the wide liquidity and the ability to act immediately in cases of necessity of increased inventory and due to the retention of sufficient inventory for the needs of the Group.

vi) Competition

The Company operates in an intensively competitive industry, as there are many retailers which operate in the consumer electronics sector, resulting in lower gross profit margins. However, due to the multi-product approach and the differentiation it offers to the Group (e.g., office products), it is not an easy exercise to identify an identical business model in the market. In the last years, we observe high level of concentration in a low number of companies which have sufficient capital in order to cope with adverse evolutions in the Market. This happens, mainly, due to the intense competition, the suppressed profit margins and given the need for increased working capital lead to increased finance cost. In such an environment, the Group achieves over time one of the best performance margins, and consistently shows profitability, facts that prove the success in the referred Market.

However, the competition may change in the future with the entrance of new competitors in the market or with the amendments of the strategy of the already existed competitors. Also, in periods when the consuming spend is stable or decreasing, the competition can lead to redistribution of the market shares. The intensity of competition may negatively affect the turnover and the profitability of the Group.

vii) Liquidity Risk

The table below presents the liabilities at Company and Group level, classified into relevant grouped maturity dates, which are calculated according to the balance of time from the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date.

The Group considers its liabilities to suppliers as short-term (12 months). In the same category it includes other shortterm liabilities and tax liabilities. The total liabilities decreased by approximately €18,8 million. despite the significant increase in sales.

Taking into consideration all the above-mentioned acknowledgments and the wide liquidity, at this moment and for the rest of the fiscal period, this particular risk is considered under the Group's control.

3.2 Capital Risk Management

The Group and Company objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the ability to continue as a going concern in order to maintain an optimal capital structure and ultimately to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares, sell assets or receive a bank loan.

In the following tables the net borrowing of the Company and the Group, that as mentioned before is negative (the cash exceeds the loan liabilities), is presented.

Apart from the aforementioned, there are no other risks that need to be quoted in this Interim Financial Report.

3.3 COVID-19 and the energy crisis impact on macroeconomic figures

Although the course of the pandemic seems to have leveled off and the effects have been significantly limited, both on a macroeconomic level and in terms of the Group's performance, the situation in Ukraine have overturned the estimated prospects of the rate of recovery of the European and Greek economy. The Group has no exposure to the markets of Russia, Belarus and Ukraine, as it does not operate in these countries. Furthermore, the Group does not own assets or has liabilities in these countries. The Management, considering the internal and external sources of information, concluded that there are no signs of impairment of its assets, as a result of the developments in the above countries. In addition, and with regard to potential risks, the Group is not exposed to credit and exchange risk in relation to these countries. Although the Group does not operate in war-torn countries, price increases, primarily of energy and other commodities, lead to an increase in consumer prices and consequently affect demand. Inflation rate in the first half of the current fiscal year, increased by an average of 9.3 percentage points and it is certain that, within 2022, it cannot return to pre-pandemic levels and/or maintain the satisfactory figures of 2021. In the above, we should

consider the increase in interest rates by the European Central Bank for the first time after eleven years. Therefore, at least in the short term, the secondary effects of the price increase adversely affect the Group's cost structure and lead to a limitation of the real income of consumers and with it the propensity to consume. Although the latter has not yet been recorded in the demand for the Group's products, it is likely to occur if the situation in Ukraine and the energy market does not normalize.

4. IMPORTANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS OF THE MANAGEMENT

The Group makes estimates and assumptions based on historical data and expectations concerning the development of future events. In the Financial Statements of June 30th 2022, the basic accounting principles and estimates of the Financial Position of December 31st 2021 have been preserved along with the mandatory adoption of the new standards and interpretations, for the periods after the January 1st 2022.

5. SEGMENT INFORMATION

(AMO UNT S I N T HOU SA N D €)

(*) This financial report has been translated to English language from the original report that has been prepared in Greek language. In case of differences between this translation and the original Greek language report, the Greek language report will prevail over this document 37 The Group's sales in the first half of 2022 amounted to €192,182 thousand compared to €199,219 thousand in the corresponding period of 2021, slightly reduced by 3.53%. The Group's sales are affected both in the current and the comparable period by the "Digital Care" program. For the first half of 2022, the "Digital Care II" program started in May 2022, while for the

corresponding comparable period, the "Digital Care I" program started in April 2021 and had a significantly higher budget compared to the current fiscal year 2022. Sales of the Group in the first half of 2022, minus the impact of Digital Care both from the current and from the comparable period, shows an increase of 1.42%.

Sales of Computers and digital equipment showed a decline during the first half of the current fiscal year 2022 amounting to 20,87% which is due on the one hand to the impact of the "Digital Care" program and to the reduced consumer need to buy PCs and digital applications. Excluding the overall impact of Digital Care, the Computers and digital equipment sector would be down 12,5%. Finally, with regard to consumer needs for Computers and digital equipment, for two consecutive years during the pandemic period, consumers have had the need to purchase and/or upgrade Computers and digital equipment due to increased work from home and in general the digital transition that has taken place, therefore these increased the customer's needs for Computers and digital equipment have decreased as expected.

The Group's traditional sales category, sales of Office Equipment amounted to €50.262 thousand, compared to €46.445 thousand for the comparable period of 2021, showing a steady increase of 8,22%, consequently the contribution of sales of this category on of the total, increased by 2,8 p.p. (Contribution rate 6M 2022: 26,15% versus Contribution rate 6M 2021: 23,31%) on the total consolidated sales.

Sales of Telecom Equipment showed a double-digit increase of 14,11%, as they reached €43.102 thousand for the first half of the current financial year 2022, compared to €37.771 thousand for the corresponding comparable period, thus significantly increasing their participation in total sales in 22,43% versus 18,96%

The sales of Domestic Appliances amounted to €21.247 thousand for the first half of the current fiscal year 2022 compared to €17.766 thousand for the corresponding comparable period, presenting for yet another period the highest growth rate of 19,59%. Now the sales of Domestic Appliances contribute with a double-digit percentage in the consolidated sales with a contribution rate of 11.06% compared to 8,92% for the corresponding comparable period.

The distribution of the consolidated assets and liabilities in the business segments for 30.06.2022 and 31.12.2021 is analyzed as follows:
