Β. Independent Auditor's Report

To the shareholders of "LAMPSA HELLENIC HOTELS S.A."

Report on the Audit of the Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying separate and consolidated financial statements of the company "LAMPSA HELLENIC HOTELS S.A." (the Company), which comprise the separate and consolidated balance sheet as at December 31st, 2020, the separate and consolidated income statements and statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, as well as a summary of significant accounting policies and methods and other explanatory notes.

In our opinion, the accompanying separate and consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries (the Group) as of December 31st , 2020, their financial performance and their cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as endorsed by the European Union.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) as they have been transposed in Greek Legislation. Our responsibilities under those standards are described in the "Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements" section of our report. During our audit, we remained independent of the Company and the Group within the entire course of our appointment, in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) as transposed in Greek legislation and the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements in Greece. We have fulfilled our responsibilities in accordance with the provisions of the currently enacted law and the requirements of the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Emphasis of Matter

We draw attention to Note 5.27 to the separate and consolidated financial statements which describes the matter related to the existence of pending court cases of a Company's subsidiary totalling Euro 1.1 million, the final outcome of which cannot be estimated at present. Our opinion is not qualified in relation to this matter.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the separate and the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters and the related risks of material uncertainty were addressed in the context of our audit of the separate and the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key Audit Matters How our audit addressed key audit matter

Effects of COVID-19 pandemic on liquidity, working capital adequacy and going concern (on separate and consolidated basis)

The hotel segment, within which the Group operates, is one those most adversely affected by the global spread of COVID-19 health crisis. The outbreak of COVID-19 and the restrictions adopted by the government and globally will have negative effects on the operating results and cash flows of the Company and the Group.

As at 31st December 2020, the Company and the Group had negative working capital, as current liabilities exceed current assets by € 7,606 k and €1,943 k respectively. It is to be noted that the Company's current liabilities include credit lines amounting to 10,900 k (the Group: €11,440) and short-term instalments of bond loans amounting to € 5,585 k (the Group: €5,585), of which, for an amount of € 4,050 k, in 2021 the Company received approval for extension until 2029 from the Bondholders Debtors. Finally, short-term contractual liabilities amounting to € 4,066 k (the Group: €4,194) pertain to prepayments for reservations of 2021.

In the context of the broader business planning of the Company and the Group and its going concern evaluation, the Management has prepared a business plan and working capital for the years 2021 to 2025, projected cash flows for the next 12 months, which depend on significant judgments and estimates.

We have recognized the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic as one of the key audit matters due to the complexity of the required calculations, the significance of the assumptions and estimates of Management in determining projected cash flows, liquidity and the working capital adequacy and the effect of these estimates on the assessment of the going concern accounting principle.

The disclosures of the Management regarding the going concern principle and the effects of Covid-19 are analytically reported in Note 6.5 and in section C. Risks & Uncertainties of the Board of Directors Report.

Our audit approach included among others the following procedures:

  • We received and evaluated the estimates of the Management regarding the use of assumption of going concern and the absence of material uncertainty therein, which - among other things was based on estimates of the Company's and the Group's available liquidity based on the 5-year business plan and the provisions for cash flows in the next 12 months.
  • We assessed the adjustments to the business plan and cash flows based on the estimates of the Management for the impact of Covid-19 on the course of Company's and Group's operations.
  • We discussed with the Management the estimated impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the hotel segment within the following months in combination with the vaccination rollout, the relevant effects on the financial position, liquidity and the working capital of the Company and the Group. We also discussed the key assumptions adopted in preparing the business plan and cash flows and evaluated alternative sources of funding in the event of a lack of liquidity to meet the liabilities.
  • We examined the mathematical accuracy of business plan and cash flow models and the completeness and consistency of the business model as well as the generation of cash flows and their separate items.
  • Regarding the above procedures, and when deemed necessary, we used Grant Thornton expert specialized in preparation and evaluation of financial models of future cash flows.

  • We examined the available communication and the relevant approvals received from the cooperating financial institutions regarding instalment payment extensions.
  • We received confirmation from the representative of the Bond Lenders that they agree to the exception of measuring the financial ratios for 31.12.2020 due to the effects of the pandemic.
  • We received the relative Support Letters from two major shareholders.
  • We assessed the adequacy of the disclosures in the accompanying financial statements for the application Company's and the Group's going concern accounting principle and the absence of material uncertainty in respect of this matter.

Assessment of Goodwill impairment (on consolidated basis), privately owned hotels (on separate and consolidated basis) and right-of-use hotels (on consolidated basis) and investments in subsidiaries (on separate basis)

Goodwill amounting to € 3,475 k, arising from the acquisition of 50% of the share capital of the company "TOURISTIKA THERETRA S.A." (Sheraton Rhodes Hotel) is tested for impairment on an annual basis or more often, if there is evidence indicating their potential impairment.

Moreover, as at 31st December 2020, in the separate and consolidated financial statements the account "Property, plant and equipment" includes the privately owned hotels at unamortized amount of € 139,801 k and € 208,190 k for the Company and the Group, respectively, in the consolidated financial statements, in the account "Right-of-use property, plant and equipment with right of use," a right-of-use hotel of the Group at unamortized amount of € 23,508 k depreciated at the time of effective right-of-use and the account "Investments in subsidiaries" for the Company includes investments amounting to € 27,865 k measured at acquisition cost. Regarding the aforementioned, at every balance sheet date, the Company assesses if there is evidence indicating their potential impairment.

As a result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Management estimates that there Our audit approach included among others the following procedures:

  • We assessed the appropriateness of the management's methodology and key assumptions and estimates applied for defining the recoverable amount of CGU.
  • We evaluated the reliability of the management's projections used under the preparation of the business plans.
  • Regarding the above procedures, and when deemed necessary, we used Grant Thornton expert specialized in preparation and evaluation of financial models of future cash flows.
  • We reviewed mathematical accuracy of the discounted cash flows models.
  • We assessed whether Goodwill impairment of other assets arises in relation to the defined value.
  • We evaluated the adequacy of the financial statement disclosures regarding the aforementioned matter.

is evidence indicating impairment of the aforementioned assets. Therefore, the Management measured their recoverable amount, taking into account their value in use and, thus, assessing the need to recognize any impairment loss. The evaluation procedure for impairment of privately owned and right-of-use hotels, the goodwill and value of investments in subsidiaries as well as the measurement of their recoverable amount, takes into account judgments, estimates and assumptions, including, month others, those of future cash flows, future turnover growth rates and cash flows discount rate using estimates of future results for a period of five years (2021 - 2025) as a basis for judgments, estimates and assumptions in the remaining period of rights-ofuse assets or during their useful life on a case by case basis.

We have recognized the evaluation procedure for the existence of Goodwill impairment of privately owned and right-of-use hotels, investments in subsidiaries as well as the measurement of their recoverable value as one of the key audit maters due to the amount and nature of these accounts, in combination with the uncertainties included in the Management's judgments, estimates and assumptions, in particular, in view of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, under this procedure.

The Company's and the Group's disclosures, regarding the accounting policy, the judgments, estimates and assumptions used in the impairment test of the aforementioned assets of the Company and the Group are included in Notes 2.2, 3.10, 5.2, 5.4, 5.5 to the separate and consolidated financial statements.

Other information

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information is included in the Board of Directors' Report, as referred to the "Report on other Legal and Regulatory Requirements" section, in the Representations of the Members of the Board of Directors, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.

Our opinion on the separate and consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the separate and consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the procedures performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate that matter. We have nothing to report in this respect.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the separate and consolidated Financial Statements.

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the separate and consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as endorsed by the European Union, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of separate and consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the separate and consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Audit Committee (art. 44 of Law 4449/2017) of the Company is responsible for overseeing the Company's and the Group's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the separate and consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the separate and the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs, as they have been transposed in Greek Legislation, will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these separate and consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs as they have been transposed in Greek Legislation, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the separate and consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's and the Group's internal control.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's and the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the separate and consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company and the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the separate and consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the separate and consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the separate and consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of the Company and the Group. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters.

(hereinafter "The Company") as well as the Group.

Α. Financial Developments and Data on the course of the reporting year

Financial Information

In the first two months of the year the Group started with positive growth rates, but from the beginning of March the rapid spread of coronavirus COVID-19 in Europe began to significantly reduce travel behavior worldwide.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the coronavirus COVID-19 a pandemic, whose rapid spread has adversely affected business and economic activity around the world and has caused suspension or slowdown of activities in significant sectors of the economy.

The Group mainly operates in the hotel segment, affected since the beginning of March by the unprecedented crisis, which in the first months of the year arose from the significant reduction of travel and quickly deteriorated with the rapid spread of the virus, the occurrence of cases in the country and finally with the imposition of the suspension of operation of three hotels of the Group in Greece. The Group's Management has been timely monitoring all the developments and is in constant communication with the hotels' association, the Hotel Chamber and all the competent bodies, as well as with the special unit of the management company, for any action deemed necessary regarding the measures imposed in order to protect the health of employees and the public, At the same time, the Management records the risks and evaluates the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic at each stage, on the results and future cash flows of the Group and takes measures based on adequacy of its liquidity, ensuring the Group's going concern.

In their effort to reduce the spread of the pandemic, the countries worldwide apply a series of restrictive measures, including the suspension of hotels operation, which has a direct impact on the Group's operations.

Thereafter, as analytically described in the COVID-19 section, a global package of measures was imposed in order to address the spread of the pandemic, whose impact immediately affected the Group, following the suspension of hotels operation in Greece and almost zero hotel traffic in Serbia, while a large number of cancellations were made for future periods.

It is worth noting that the Group's Management decided to continue the investment of the subsidiary Kriezotou S.A. during the pandemic, and, as a result, the hotel "Athens Capital" opened its gates in September 2020. The investment amounted to € 27.4 million, of which € 16 million plus VAT was paid during the year. Its operation ceased on November 6, 2020 after the imposition of restrictive measures by the government. In addition, the Company started the implementation of an investment renovation plan in the group hotels (including the exterior side of the King George Hotel), which is expected to amount to 4 million.

Suspension of hotels: Specifically, the operation of Grande Bretagne and King George Hotels was suspended by government order from 22 March 2020. The Grande Bretagne Hotel reopened on 15 July 2020, while the King George Hotel remained closed until the end of 2020. The Sheraton Rhodes (seasonal) Hotel opened for the summer season on 28 July 2020 and was open until 31 October 2020. The company's hotels in Serbia ("Hyatt Regency Belgrade" and "Excelsior Mercure Belgrade") continued to operate, however, they operated with almost zero turnover, and a corresponding operating loss, which was mitigated due to the extremely low cost of wages and local government incentives.

The restriction on the Group's operations is reflected in the financial sizes of the luxury hotel market in Athens and consequently of the Group's operations during 2020.

Conference tourism has also been adversely affected by the restrictions on large gatherings. Moreover, the cruises that also made contribution to hotels operations, have been virtually nullified.

The room occupancy in Athens luxury hotels market decreased by 40.1% compared to the corresponding period of 2019, bringing the rate to 41.5% (for the period before their suspension) compared to 69.3% in 2019. The average hotel room rate decreased by 18.5% compared to 2019, reaching € 137.94 compared to € 169.31 in 2019. As a result, revenue per available room decreased in Athens luxury hotels by 51.2% (€ 57.20 against € 117.29 in 2019) and respectively the total room revenues decreased by 75.9%.

The "Grande Bretagne" Ηotel presented decrease in sales by 75.25% compared to the corresponding period last year 2019, while "King George" Ηotel presented a decrease in sales by 75.02%. "Sheraton Rhodes Hotel" did not open during the first half of 2020. Regarding the Group Hotels in Serbia, "Hyatt Regency Belgrade" decreased by 55.11% and "Mercure Excelsior" decreased by 69,56%. The data regarding the Group Hotels are as follows:

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING THE FISCAL YEAR 2020

In January 2020, the sale of 100% of the shares of the owner company of the hotel "Excelsior AD Beograd" (63,859 shares) was completed, through a Stock Exchange in Serbia, where it is listed, by "Lampsa Hellenic Hotels S.A." to the Serbian company "BMP AD NOVI BEOGRAD", 100% subsidiary of Lampsa S.A. and owner of the hotel "Hyatt Regency Belgrade", against the consideration of 10,347 Serbian dinars per share, i.e. a total consideration of approximately € 5,621 k. The value of the transaction arose from the assessment of an independent appraiser, as required by the relevant legislation and the regulations of the local Capital Market Commission.

In the first two months of the year the Group started with positive growth rates, but from the beginning of March the rapid spread of coronavirus COVID-19 in Europe began to significantly reduce travel behavior worldwide. In March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the coronavirus COVID-19 a pandemic, whose rapid spread has adversely affected business and economic activity around the world and has caused the suspension or slowdown of activities in significant sectors of the economy. Further analysis on the effects of the COVID-19 is presented in section "C. Risks and Uncertainties".

C. Risks & Uncertainties

Risk of coronavirus COVID -19 pandemic - effects – prevention measures

The Group started the first two months of the year with positive growth rates, but from the beginning of March, the rapid spread of the COVID-19 in Europe began to significantly reduce travel behavior worldwide. Subsequently, a global package of measures was imposed to address the spread of the pandemic, whose impact immediately affected the Group, as there was a suspension of hotels operation in Greece and almost zero hotel traffic in Serbia, while a large number of reservation cancellations were made for future periods.

Restrictions on the Group's operations have further adverse effect on the Group's financial sizes:

• The Management estimates that during 2020, the Group lost revenue of € 60 million and the Company of € 53 million. For 2021, an increase in sizes is expected, but it is estimated to be decreased by approximately 60% compared to 2019 when the Group recorded the peak of its turnover.

• Financial structure – liquidity :

The effects of the pandemic are expected to be significant for the Group resulting in generation of losses in 2021, however the Company's capital adequacy is expected to remain strong. In addition, a direct impact of the aforementioned shrinkage of the Group's turnover is the restriction on its liquidity. In order to endure the Group's going concern, the Group Management secured an additional liquidity of 18 million through borrowing with the guarantee of the European Development Bank.

• COVID-19 outbreaks, mutations, inability to address the crisis or ongoing imposition of restrictive measures on travel may continue to adversely affect the Group,

The pandemic is expected to change the behavior of both corporate and private clients and a decline in event revenue and catering is expected.

• Impairment of non-current assets (including goodwill):

Due to the impact of the pandemic on the global economy, in our country and consequently on the financial performance of the Group, during the conduct of the impairment test of the Group assets (privately owned hotels, right-of-use hotels, goodwill) and the Company (participations), decreased values in use have arisen, on case basis, whose impairment burdened the income statement and the financial position of the Group and the Company. The consolidated results of 2020 have been burdened with impairment of € 1,877 k (€ 1,596 k after tax), while the results of the Parent Company have been burdened with impairment of € 2,040 k (€ 1,550 k after tax).

These impairments are extraordinary and reflect the results of the pandemic period as well as the period required for the return to the pre-COVID-19 time. As all the impairments exclusively pertain to the effects of the Covid - 19 pandemic, the Management estimates that - with the return to normalcy - the Group's and the Company's non-current assets will regain their value.

The Management's actions to address the effects of Covid-19 and ensure the Group's going concern.

On the basis of the aforementioned procedure of assessment and identification of risk areas and always with the aim of ensuring the health of employees and customers, protection of public health in view of the hotels reopening as well as the Group's going concern, the Management took the following actions:

• Expenditure of approximately € 500 k on equipment and facilities, required for the hotels reopening, applying all the necessary hygiene protocols for customers and staff.

• The Management of the parent company secured a certificate from the representative of the Bondholding Creditors for their consent to the exception of the measurement of the financial ratios as of 31.12.2020 due to the effects of the pandemic.

• The company agreed with lending banks for the transfer of payments of € 7,950 k to the maturity of the loans, of which an amount of € 5,250 k was to be paid within the next 12 months.

• Due to LAMPSA Group solvency, the Management has already received new loans amounting to € 25 m for the Group and € 18 m for the parent company, through the business support program "Guarantee Fund for granting guarantees on new loans to companies affected by COVID 19 through the Hellenic Development Bank (HDB).

• The company participates in the labor subsidy programs for employees implemented by the government (suspension, "Syn-ergasia", etc.). This way achieves a reduction in wage costs for the period, when the hotels are closed or operating at low occupancy. Moreover, to facilitate further savings, fixedterm employee contracts expiring in the near future are not expected to be renewed. Finally, synergies are expected between the Group's hotels, with staff lending, for more cost-effective management. Following the implementation of the aforementioned actions, the company in 2020 managed to reduce its payroll costs by approximately € 9.2 m or 58% compared to the payroll costs in 2019.

• Finally, the company has dispatched credit vouchers, amounting to approximately € 450 k, to customers who have prepaid their future reservation, in order to avoid immediate outflow of money by repaying advances, while for the remaining advances it has already signed agreements to postpone scheduled visits.

Financial Risk Factors

The Group is exposed to financial risks such as changes in exchange rates, interest rates, credit risk, liquidity risk and fair value interest rate risk. The overall risk management of the Group focuses on unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group.

Risk management is carried out by the central cash available management service, which identifies and evaluates financial risks in cooperation with the services that face these risks. Prior to the relevant transactions it is taken acceptance by officers with the right to bind the Company to its counterparties.

Currency Risk

The Group operates in Greece, Cyprus and Serbia and its functional currency is Euro. However, there is a certain limited exposure to currency translation risk regarding US Dollar, mainly arising from loan and other liabilities in Dollars. The exchange rate risk of this kind arises from the rate of these currencies against Euro, partially offset by corresponding liabilities (e.g. loans) of the same currency.

Financial assets and liabilities in foreign currency converted into Euro at the closing rate are as follows:

2020 2019
Amounts in thousand
Nominal amounts US\$ US\$
Financial assets 28 173
Financial liabilities 1.658 935
Short-term exposure 1.630 762
Financial assets
Financial liabilities - 1.642
Long-term exposure - 1.642
Total 1.630 2.404

The following tables show the sensitivity of the result for the financial year as well as the equity in relation to financial assets and financial liabilities and Euro/Dollar exchange rate.

We assume a change of 4.88% in as 31 December 2020 exchange rate of EUR / USD (2019: 2.25%). These percentages were based on the average market volatility in exchange rates for a period of 3 months from the end of each year (31/12).

In case € increases compared to the above currency, with the percentages mentioned above, the impact on the income statement for the year and equity will be as follows:

Amounts in thousand 2020 2019
US\$ US\$
Income statement before tax 71 56
Equity 54 43

In case € decreases compared to the above currency, with the percentage mentioned above, the impact on the income statement for the year and equity will be as follows:

Amounts in thousand 2020 2019
US\$ US\$
Income statement before tax (64) (54)
Equity (49) (41)

The exposure of the Group to foreign exchange risk varies during the year depending on the volume of transactions in foreign currency. However, the above analysis is considered representative of the Group's exposure to currency risk.

Credit Risk

The majority of the Group's sales are performed through credit cards, the credit sales though are made to customers with evaluated credit history.

The Group's exposure to credit risk is limited to financial assets (instruments) which at the Balance Sheet date are analyzed as follows:

Amounts in thousand € THE GROUP THE COMPANY
Financial assets categories 31/12/2020 31/12/2019 31/12/2020 31/12/2019
Cash and cash equivalent 24.215 25.885 20.856 11.253
Trade and other receivables 5.972 6.365 1.325 5.066
Total 30.187 32.250 22.181 16.319

Regarding trade and other receivables, the Group is not exposed to significant credit risk. Credit risk for receivables realizable as well as other short-term financial assets is considered limited.

The Group's Management considers that all the aforementioned financial assets that have not been impaired at the date of preparation of the financial statements are of high credit quality, including those due.

None of the Group's financial assets has been secured by a mortgage or other form of credit insurance.

Liquidity Risk

The Group manages its liquidity needs by carefully monitoring both the long-term financial liabilities as well as the payments made on a daily basis. Liquidity needs are monitored in various time zones, on a daily and weekly basis as well as in a rolling period of 30 days. Liquidity needs for the next 12 months are determined monthly.

Liquidity risk is kept at low levels by maintaining sufficient cash and credit lines.

Maturity of the Group and the Company liabilities settled on cash basis is as follows:

As at 31/12/2020, the Company and the Group had negative working capital, as current liabilities exceed current assets by € 7,606 k and € 1,943 k respectively. The Company's current liabilities include current instalments of bond loans amounting to € 5,585 k (the Group: €5,585), of which, regarding the amortization, amounting to € 4,050 k, in 2021, the Company has agreed with the Bond Lenders to transfer the installments to the end of the contract (2029). Finally, short-term contractual obligations amounting

to € 4,066 k for the Company (the Group: €4,194), which relate to prepayments for 2021 bookings are expected either to be transferred to the following years or settled through rendering services. Taking into account the above, the company's working capital becomes positive by € 510 k and the Group's – by € 6,173 k.

The financial statements of the Parent and the subsidiaries have been prepared based on the going concern principle as the Group Management assumes that given the currently available data and its estimates of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the financial sizes of the Group for the next 12 months and in relation to the aforementioned actions that have been carried out, there will be sufficient liquidity in order to ensure the Group's going concern.

Moreover, in case the Company's liquidity needs to be strengthened, its two main shareholders "NAMSOS ENTERPRISES COMPANY LIMITED" and "DRYNA ENTERPRISES" (56.11%) as well as their final beneficiaries are committed to and have the financial capacity to cover the contingent needs at least for the next twelve months from the date of approval of its interim financial statements.

Risk of Changes of Fair Value due to Changes in Interest Rates

Operational revenue and operational cash flows of the Group are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates. The Group has assets of interest-bearing assets with fixed performance and the policy of the Group is to maintain approximately total borrowings at floating rate. At the end of the administrative period, the total borrowings were in floating interest rate loans.

The following table shows the sensitivity of the results for the financial year as well as the equity to a reasonable possible change of interest rate of +1.0 % or -1.0% (2019: +/-1 %). It is estimated that changes in rates logically reflect the market conditions.

01/01-31/12/2020 01/01-31/12/2019

Equity (945) 945 (783) 783
Tax rate 24% 24%

D. Projected course – Group's Prospects and Strategy for 2021

It is obvious from the aforementioned sizes, that 2020 was the most difficult period in the recent history of the Company, a fact that also applies to the hotel services segment in general. 2021 started for the segment with the same extremely difficult and uncertain conditions, due to the new outbreaks as well as the mutations of the virus that continue to apply pressure on the health systems of all countries and prevent lifting of restrictive measures, especially in travel, which are mostly still effective. In this environment, the forthcoming months are expected to be extremely difficult in terms of movement of visitors.

The Company's response to the pandemic was immediate while the effort continues at the same intensive pace to ensure the prospect of recovery when conditions allow. All the actions to ensure adequate liquidity and rational cost management aim both - at dealing with the unprecedented crisis and strengthening the Company's competitiveness in the long term and, consequently, at its return to pre-pandemic operational and financial condition.

The effect of the pandemic during the next year cannot be accurately determined at this stage as it depends on еру factors such as any additional measures, time required to develop the drug and extension of vaccinations, the time of recovery of the countries (USA , Great Britain, France, Spain, Italy, Central and Northern Europe) which constitute the main clientele of the hotels operating in Greece and the mentality of travelers. The exact timing of vaccination rates, the degree and speed of demand recovery, as well as state agreements on relocation protocols, remain significantly uncertain, especially at the time of restarting.

From the information available so far and the development of vaccination programs internationally, for 2021, the sizes are estimated to increase, though they will be reduced by approximately 60% compared to 2019, when the Group recorded the peak turnover.

Due to the devastating consequences of the pandemic for the hotel segment, a gradual return to the size of 2019 is expected to be achieved in 2024-2025.

Responsible waste management is a priority for LAMPSA. For this reason, it cooperates with licensed waste collection companies, aiming at their proper management. The materials recycled are: glass, paper, plastic, lamps, used kitchen oils, inks, batteries, and electrical appliances. In 2019 and 2020we achieved 98% recycling of materials.

In 2018 the company launched a new program at both our Hotels in "Responsible consumption and production of energy as well as sensitization to environmental issues of recycling of organic-inorganic materials", by limiting organic waste from kitchens by installing a system to reduce their volume to 70% (recycling - composting).

Staff collaboration in achieving all recycling and responsible use of hotel benefits through appropriate training was a key priority in 2019 and 2020.

In addition, we were awarded with the Sustainable Development Champions Award through our cooperation with the Sustainability Center and the United Nations. The program with which we were awarded was the Responsible consumption and production of energy as well as the awareness in environmental issues of recycling organic - inorganic materials. The first action was the co-production or triple production of heat-electricity installing machines, respecting the protection of the climate and operating in favor of responsible consumption and production of cheap - clean energy.

The second action was the reduction of organic waste from kitchens by installing a system to reduce their volume to 70% (form of composting).

The third and most important action was the cooperation of the staff in the implementation of all the recycling objections and responsible use of energy of the hotel facilities. Our above actions are linked to the following United Nations Sustainable Development Goals:

    1. Affordable and Clean Energy
    1. Responsible consumption and production
    1. Climate action
    1. Partnership's for the goals

Grand Bretagne has been holding the "Green Key" Award, an international ecological quality program for tourism, since 2010, which verifies that the hotel takes care of the protection of the environment, constantly seeking ways to improve and innovate.

The objective of the program is to develop and manage a quality, tourism-related eco-label. Green Key basically works as a certification program, which aims to raise awareness among owners, employees, customers and local communities about action on environmental issues and sustainable development.

The criteria for awarding an organization with the "Green Key" quality label are divided into 13 categories, including: Environmental management, personnel participation, customer information, water and waste management, and more.

In Greece, the Hellenic Society for the Protection of Nature, in particular the Green Key National Commission, is studying the cases and deciding on the award of the label to the organizations.

Grand Bretagne and King George Hotels have been certified for seven consecutive years, and in 2020 they have been awarded with a Green Key label for the "Green Rooms" available to guests. The hotels' objective through this certification, is to make a significant contribution to the creation of an ecological culture and awareness of environmental protection and green development. Hotels' "Green Rooms" are located on the 3rd Floor (Green Floor) and offer guests the opportunity to stay in rooms with more environmentally-friendly features and amenities, such as organic products and recycling options.

• In 2019 as well as the two previous years, a "Link to Schools" program was organized in collaboration with customers to raise money for donations to schools both in underprivileged areas of Athens and in schools in remote areas of the Northern Greece and the non-profit line. The purpose was to donate educational equipment to schools and cover annual heating costs.

• In 2020 we continued the cooperation we have with "DESMOS". Due to the pandemic, the whole world is suffering, the money we allocated in 2020, was used by DESMOS in actions against COVID-19. Some of their activities include the provision of sanitary equipment, disinfectants and antiseptics, medical equipment, medicines and consumables, food, personal hygiene items, technological equipment, portions of food, and even transportation for home help to the elderly.

Desmos is a Non-Profit Association with a vision of the need to use responsibly and effectively the private initiative in dealing with the humanitarian crisis that our country is experiencing, as well as the common perception of professionalism. The ultimate common goal is for Desmos to contribute to the creation of sustainable solidarity networks and the cultivation of social and humanitarian responsibility.

2. Framework for preparation of financial statements

The consolidated and separate financial statements of LAMPSA S.A. have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (hereinafter IFRS). The financial statements have been prepared based on historic cost principal as amended following the adjustment of certain assets and liabilities at fair values and the going concern principle and are in accordance with the IFRSs, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and according to their interpretations, which have been published by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) of IASB.

The financial statements of the Parent and its subsidiaries have been prepared on the basis of the going concern principle as the Group's Management considers that given the currently available data and its estimates of the impact of Covid-19 pandemic on the Group's financial sizes for the following 12 months and in line with the aforementioned actions that have been planned, as recorded in paragraph C Risks and Uncertainties in the Management Report, there will be sufficient liquidity in order to ensure the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. Moreover, in case the Company's liquidity needs to be strengthened, its two main shareholders "NAMSOS ENTERPRISES COMPANY LIMITED" and "DRYNA ENTERPRISES" (56.11%) as well as their final beneficiaries are committed to and have the financial capacity to cover the contingent needs at least for the next twelve months from the date of approval of its annual financial statements as of 31/12/2020.

All the revised or newly issued Standards and Interpretation applicable to the Group and effective as from December 31, 2020 were taken into account under the preparation of the financial statements for the current year to the extent they were applicable.

The preparation of financial statements according to IFRSs requires use of accounting estimates. It also requires management judgement under the application of the Group's accounting principles. The cases involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or the cases where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are recorded in Note 2.2.

2.1. Changes to Accounting Policies

The accounting policies based on which the Financial Statements were drafted are in accordance with those used under the preparation of financial statements for FY 2019, adjusted to the new Standards and revisions imposed by IFRS effective for fiscal years starting as at January 1st, 2020.

2.1.1 New Standards, Interpretations, Revisions and Amendments to existing Standards that are effective and have been adopted by the European Union

The following new Standards, Interpretations and amendments of IFRSs have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), are adopted by the European Union, and their application is mandatory from or after 01/01/2020.

Revision of the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2020)

In March 2018, the IASB issued the revised Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (Conceptual Framework), the objective of which was to incorporate some important issues that were not covered, as well as update and clarify some guidance that was unclear or out of date. The revised Conceptual Framework includes a new chapter on measurement, which analyzes the concept on measurement, including factors to be considered when selecting a measurement basis, concepts on presentation and disclosure, and guidance on derecognition of assets and liabilities from financial statements. In addition, the revised Conceptual Framework includes improved definitions of an asset and a liability, guidance supporting these definitions, update of recognition criteria for assets and liabilities, as well as clarifications in important areas, such as the roles of stewardship, prudence and measurement uncertainty in financial reporting. The amendments do not affect the consolidated and separate Financial Statements.

Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2020)

In March 2018, the IASB issued Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework, following its revision. Some Standards include explicit references to previous versions of the Conceptual Framework. The objective of these amendments is to update those references so that they refer to the revised Conceptual Framework and to support transition to the revised Conceptual Framework. The amendments do not affect the consolidated and separate Financial Statements.

Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8: "Definition of Material" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2020)

In October 2018, the IASB issued amendments to its definition of material to make it easier for companies to make materiality judgments. The definition of material helps companies decide whether information should be included in their financial statements. The updated definition amends IAS 1 and IAS 8. The amendments clarify the definition of material and how it should be applied by including in the definition guidance that until now has featured elsewhere in IFRS Standards. The amendments do not affect the consolidated and separate Financial Statements.

Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7: "Interest Rate Benchmark Reform" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2020)

In September 2019, the IASB issued amendments to some specific hedge accounting requirements to provide relief from potential effects of the uncertainty caused by the Interest Rate Benchmark reform. The amendments are designed to support the provision of useful financial information by companies during the period of uncertainty arising from the phasing out of interest – rate benchmarks such as interbank offered rates (IBORs). It requires companies to provide additional information to investors about their hedging relationships which are directly affected by these uncertainties. The amendments do not affect the consolidated and separate Financial Statements.

Amendments to IFRS 3: "Definition of a Business" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2020)

In October 2018, the IASB issued narrow-scope amendments to IFRS 3 to improve the definition of a business. The amendments will help companies determine whether an acquisition made is of a business or a group of assets. The amended definition emphasizes that the output of a business is to provide goods and services to customers, whereas the previous definition focused on returns in the form of dividends, lower costs or other economic benefits to investors and others. In addition to amending the wording of the definition, the Board has provided supplementary guidance. The amendments do not affect the consolidated and separate Financial Statements.

Amendments to IFRS 16 "Leases" Covid-19 – Related Rent Concessions (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/06/2020)

In May 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 16 that provide lessees with an exemption from assessing whether a Covid-19-related rent concession is a lease modification. More specifically, the amendments clarify that if certain conditions are met, lessees are not required to assess whether particular Covid-19-related rent concessions are lease modifications. Instead, lessees that apply the practical expedient, would account for those rent concessions as if they were not lease modifications. It applies to Covid-19-related rent concessions that reduce lease payments due on or before June 30, 2021. The Group applied the amendment under the preparation of financial statements to all the leases that fall within the scope of the aforementioned standard. The effect on the results of the Company and the Group is not significant (Note 5.13)

2.1.2 New Standards, Interpretations, Revisions and Amendments to existing Standards that have not been applied yet or have not been adopted by the European Union

The following new Standards, Interpretations and amendments of IFRSs have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), but their application has not started yet or they have not been adopted by the European Union.

Amendments to IFRS 4 "Insurance Contracts" – deferral of IFRS 9 (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2021)

In June 2020, the IASB issued amendments that declare deferral of the date of initial application of IFRS 17 by two years, to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. As a consequence, the IASB also extended the fixed expiry date for the temporary exemption from applying IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" in IFRS 4 "Insurance Contracts", so that the entities are required to apply IFRS 9 for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above have been adopted by the European Union with effective date of 01/01/2021.

Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16: "Interest Rate Benchmark Reform — Phase 2" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2021)

In August 2020, the IASB finalized its response to the ongoing reform of inter-bank offered rates (IBOR) and other interest rate benchmarks by issuing a package of amendments to five IFRS Standards. The amendments complement those issued in 2019 and focus on the effects on financial statements when a company replaces the old interest rate benchmark with an alternative benchmark rate as a result of the reform. In particular, the amendments describe the way in which an entity shall account for changes in contractual cash flows, a change in hedging relationships as a result of the restructuring, and related information it will need to disclose. The above have been adopted by the European Union with effective date of 01/01/2021.

• Amendments to IFRS 16 "Leases" Covid-19 – Related Rent Concessions after June 30, 2021. (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/04/2021)

In May 2020, the IASB issued amendments to the practical application of IFRS 16 extending the period of application by one year to include Covid-19-related lease concessions which reduce lease payments and become payable on or before June 30, 2022. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though they are not expected to have any. The above have not been adopted by the European Union.

Amendments to IFRS 3 "Business Combinations", IAS 16 "Property, Plant and Equipment", IAS 37 "Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets" and "Annual Improvements 2018-2020" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2022)

In May 2020, the IASB issued a package of amendments which includes narrow-scope amendments to three Standards as well as the Board's Annual Improvements, which are changes that clarify the wording or correct minor consequences, oversights or conflicts between requirements in the Standards. More specifically:

• Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations update a reference in IFRS 3 to the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting without changing the accounting requirements for business combinations.

• Amendments to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment prohibit a company from deducting from the cost of property, plant and equipment amounts received from selling items produced while the company is preparing the asset for its intended use. Instead, a company will recognize such sales proceeds and related cost in profit or loss.

• Amendments to IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets specify which costs a company includes when assessing whether a contract will be loss-making.

• Annual Improvements 2018-2020 make minor amendments to IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, IAS 41 Agriculture and the Illustrative Examples accompanying IFRS 16 Leases.

The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though they are not expected to have any. The above have not been adopted by the European Union.

• IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2023)

In May 2017, the IASB issued a new Standard, IFRS 17, which replaces an interim Standard, IFRS 4. The aim of the project was to provide a single principle-based standard to account for all types of insurance contracts, including reinsurance contracts that an insurer holds. A single principle-based standard would enhance comparability of financial reporting among entities, jurisdictions and capital markets. IFRS 17 sets out the requirements that an entity should apply in reporting information about insurance contracts it issues and reinsurance contracts it holds. Furthermore, in June 2020, the IASB issued amendments, which do not affect the fundamental principles introduced when IFRS 17 has first been issued. The amendments are designed to reduce costs by simplifying some requirements in the Standard, make financial performance easier to explain, as well as ease transition by deferring the effective date of the Standard to 2023 and by providing additional relief to reduce the effort required when applying the Standard for the first time. The above have not been adopted by the European Union.

• Amendments to IAS 1 "Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2023)

In January 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 that affect requirements for the presentation of liabilities. Specifically, they clarify one of the criteria for classifying a liability as non-current, the requirement for an entity to have the right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. The amendments include: (a) specifying that an entity's right to defer settlement must exist at the end of the reporting period; (b) clarifying that classification is unaffected by management's intentions or expectations about whether the entity will exercise its right to defer settlement; (c) clarifying how lending conditions affect classification; and (d) clarifying requirements for classifying liabilities an entity will or may settle by issuing its own equity instruments. Moreover, in July 2020, the IASB issued an amendment, postponing the effective date of the initially issued amendments to IAS 1 for one further year, given the spread of Covid-19 pandemic. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above have not been adopted by the European Union.

Amendments to IAS "Presentation of Financial Statements" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2023)

In February 2021, the IASB issued narrow-scope amendments to IFRS Standards regarding disclosures of accounting policies. The amendments will help companies improve accounting policy disclosures so that they provide more useful information to investors and other primary users of the financial statements. The amendments to IAS 1 require companies to disclose their material accounting policy information rather than their significant accounting policies. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements though it is not expected to have any. The above have not been adopted by the European Union.

Amendments to IAS 8 "Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors: Definition of Accounting Estimates" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2023)

In February 2021, the IASB issued narrow-scope amendments to IFRS Standards clarifying the difference between a change in accounting estimate and a change in accounting policy. This distinction is significant, since the change in accounting estimate is applied without retroactive effect and only to future transactions and other future events, in contrast to the change in accounting policy that has retroactive effect and applies to transactions and other events of the past. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements though it is not expected to have any. The above have not been adopted by the European Union.

2.2. Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the publicized assets and liabilities at the financial statements preparation date. They also affect the disclosures of contingent assets and

liabilities at the financial statements preparation date and the publicized amounts of revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and judgments are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are considered reasonable under specific circumstances and are constantly re-assessed using all the available information.

Judgements

The key judgments made by the Management of the Group (other than judgments associated with estimates presented below) and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements mainly relate to:

  • Estimate of goodwill impairment
  • Estimate of privately owned hotels of the Company & the Group and the Group's right-of-use hotels
  • Estimate of subsidiaries impairment
  • Classification of investments.
  • Recoverability of receivables.
  • Impairment of inventory.

Assumptions and estimates

Specific amounts included or affecting the financial statements along with relevant disclosures are estimated assuming values or conditions which cannot be known with certainty at the time the financial statements are issued. An accounting estimate is considered significant when it is important for the image the financial position of the company and fiscal year results and requires management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates regarding the effect of matters that are uncertain. The Group evaluates these estimates on constant basis, based on past years and experience, by meeting experts, using trends and other methods considered rational under the specific circumstances along with the projections for future changes. The accounting policies, which have been chosen from acceptable alternative policies, are recorded in unit 3 "Summary of accounting policies".

It is to be noted that although these estimates are based on Management's best knowledge of current events and actions, the actual results are likely to differ from those estimated. As a result of the effects of the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the ever-changing conditions (eg restrictions and extent of these restrictions on travel and activities directly related to the Group's operations, vaccinations rollout) and estimated effects on the hotel sector, in order to more reliably record these estimated effects on the financial statements of the Company and the Group, on 31/12/2020 the Management reviewed the estimates related to future cash flows in relation to those of 30 / 06/2020. Future cash flows after discounting determine the recoverable amount of participations, fixed assets and goodwill.

Estimate of impairment

The Group annually tests goodwill for impairment and examines events or conditions that make impairment of privately owned and right-of-use hotels and the Parent's investments in subsidiaries possible; such as, for example, a significant negative change in the business climate or a decision for the sale or disposal of a unit or an operating segment. The determination of impairment requires calculation of the recoverable amount of the corresponding unit, which is evaluated by using the method of discounted cash flows.

The recoverable amounts of CGUs are determined based on calculations of value in use. These calculations require the use of estimates.

If this analysis indicates a need for impairment, measurement of impairment requires a fair value estimate for every identifiable tangible or intangible asset. In that case, the cash flows approach is used, as mentioned above, by independent valuators, where deemed appropriate.

Moreover, other identifiable intangible assets with defined useful lives and subject to amortization are annually tested for impairment by comparing the carrying amount to the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.

As a result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the hotel segment, the management estimates that on 31/12/2020 there were indications of impairment. Therefore, the recoverable amount of the aforementioned assets was measured, taking into account judgments, estimates and assumptions, inter alia, regarding future cash flows, future turnover growth rates, completeness and cash flows discount rate, regarding the Group's

operation as a unit. In particular, discounted cash flows were used based on five-year business plans for the Group's cash-generating units. Under the preparation of every business plan, the Management relied on specific assumptions, based on the results of the past and experience, which it considered as the most effective in determining the recoverable value of the cash-generating unit.

As a result, impairment has arisen regarding the Group's privately owned hotels amounting to € 1,877 k and investments in subsidiaries of the Parent amounting to € 2,040 k. See Notes 5.2, 5.4 and 5.5.

• Income tax

Current and deferred tax are calculated on the basis of the financial statements of every company included in the consolidated financial statements, in accordance with the tax legislation effective in Greece or other tax frameworks within which the foreign subsidiaries operate. Income tax is calculated based on every company's profits, additional income taxes arising from tax inspections of tax authorities and from deferred income taxes based on the institutionalized tax rates.

Provisions

Doubtful accounts are reported at the amounts that may be recovered. Estimates of the amounts expected to be recovered arise following the analysis as well as from the experience of the Group regarding the possibility of doubtful receivables of the customers. As soon as it is known that a specific account is subject to greater risk than the usual credit risk (e.g. low credibility of the customer, disagreement regarding the existence or the amount of receivables, etc.), the account is analyzed and recorded as doubtful debt as long as the conditions indicate that the receivables cannot be collected.

Contingent events

During ordinary course of business, the Group is involved in legal claims and compensations. The Management judges that no arrangement would significantly affect the financial position of the Group in 31/12/2020. However, the determination of contingent liabilities that are connected to legal claims and demands is a complicated procedure that includes judgments on possible consequences and law interpretation according to laws and regulations. Any change in judgment or interpretation is possible to lead to an increase or decrease of the Group's contingent liabilities in the future.

Business Combinations

Upon initial recognition, the assets as well as liabilities of the acquired business are included in the consolidated financial statements at their fair values. During measurement of fair values, management uses estimates regarding future cash flows but actual results may differ. Any other change in measurement after the initial recognition would affect the goodwill measurement.

Useful life of depreciable assets

The Company's Management examines the useful lives of depreciable assets at every reporting period. At 31 December 2020, the Company's Management estimates that the useful lives of the depreciated assets represent the expected utility of these assets. Actual results, however, may differ due to technical gradual depreciation, mainly regarding software and computer equipment.

3. Summary of accounting policies

3.1. General

The significant accounting policies that used for the preparation of theses consolidated financial statements are synopsized as per below.

3.2. Consolidation and investments in associates

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities managed and controlled by the Group in regard to their finance and business policies. LAMPSA considers that it owns and controls a subsidiary when it participates in it with a percentage greater than half of voting rights.

To determine the existence of potential voting rights of LAMPSA, that are currently exercisable on another entity, LAMPSA examines the existence and effect of any potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible.

The consolidated financial statements of LAMPSA SA include the financial statements of the parent company as well as the entities controlled by the Group through full consolidation.

Subsidiaries are consolidated using the full consolidation method from the date on which the Group obtains control and stop to be consolidated to the date on which control ceases to exist.

In addition, the acquired subsidiaries are subject to application of the acquisition method. This includes revaluation at fair value of all identifiable assets and liabilities, including contingent liabilities of the subsidiary, at the acquisition date, irrespective of whether they have been included in the financial statements of the subsidiary prior to acquisition. Upon initial recognition, subsidiary's assets and liabilities are included in the consolidated balance sheet at revalued amounts, which are also used as a basis for subsequent measurement in accordance with the accounting policies of the group. Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of the Group's share in the identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary of the group during acquisition. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in the income statement.

Non-controlling interests are recognized as part of profit or loss and net assets that do not belong to the Group. If losses of a subsidiary concerning non-controlling interests exceed non-controlling interests in subsidiary's equity, then the excess amount is allocated to the shareholders of the parent company except from the amount that regarding which the minority has an obligation and is able to cover those losses.

The accounting policies of subsidiaries were modified when deemed necessary in order to be consistent with the policies adopted by the Group

Intercompany account receivables and liabilities, revenues and expenses and unrealized gains or losses between companies are eliminated.

In the Statement of Financial Position of the parent, participation in subsidiaries is measured at acquisition cost, unless there are indications of impairment, As analytically recorded in paragraph 2.2, the Covid-19 pandemic and the effects it has on the hotel segment are indications of impairment and, therefore, an impairment test was performed for the parent company 'a participating interest, resulting in an impairment of € 2,040 k.

3.3. Foreign currency translation

The consolidated financial statements of LAMPSA S.A. are presented in EURO (€), which is, also, the functional currency of the parent.

Every entity of the Group defines its functional currency and the items included in the financial statements of every entity. In the separate financial statements of the consolidated entities, transactions in foreign currency are translated into the functional currency of every separate entity, using the exchange rates, prevailing on the date of the transaction. Transactions in foreign currency are translated into euro, using the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates.

Foreign currency exchange gains and losses arising from such transactions and from the conversion of accounts with balances at year end exchange rates are recognized in the "Financial Income / (expenses)", respectively except from the gain or loss incurred by the hedging instrument and directly recognized in the equity, in the statement of changes in equity.

Changes in fair value of securities denominated in foreign currency classified as available for sale are distinguished from changes in foreign exchange differences arising from changes in amortized cost of the security and other changes in the carrying value of the securities. Differences from conversion-related changes in the amortized cost are recognized in profit or loss, and other changes in carrying amount are recognized in equity.

Differences arising from converting non-monetary financial assets and liabilities such as assets at fair value through profit and loss are recognized in the results as part part of profit or loss from fair value. Differences arising from converting non- monetary financial assets such as assets classified as available for sale are included in the equity reserves pertaining to available-for- sale financial assets.

In the consolidated financial statements, all separate financial statements of subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities, originally presented in a currency other than the functional currency of the Group (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy), have been converted into Euro.

Assets and liabilities have been converted into Euro at the closing rate at the balance sheet date.

Revenue and expenses have been converted into the Group's presentation currency at the average exchange rates during the reporting period; unless there are significant fluctuations, in which case revenue and expenses are translated at the exchange rate at the transaction dates.

Any differences arising from this procedure have been transferred to the balance sheet translation reserve in equity.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising from an acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated into Euro at the closing rate

On consolidation, exchange rate differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign operations, and of borrowings and other currency instruments that are designated hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation directly in equity through the statement of equity changes.

When a foreign operation is partially disposed or sold, exchange differences that were recorded in equity are recognized in profit or loss in the period of disposal or sale as part of the gain or loss on sale.

3.4. Segment Reporting

A business segment is a group of assets and operations engaged in providing products and services which are subject to risks and returns different from those of other business segments. A geographical segment is a geographical region in which products are sold and services provided and which is subject to risks and returns different from other areas. Geographically, the Group operates mainly in Greece, Cyprus and Serbia, while having interests in other countries (see § 4 "Group Structure").

The going concern business segments, presented in the current year, are recorded per geographical area, where the Group operates and per the type of the hotels as follows: Athens City Hotels, Resorts, Belgrade City Hotels & Other.

In the beginning of the current year, the Company's Management decided that due to full incorporation of the first hotel of Resort type, it should change the way of presenting the business segments from revenue generating segments (income from rooms, income from food and drink and other income) to segments per hotel type & geographical area (for the same hotel types). The management considers presentation of business segments per hotel type in relation to the geographical area (Athens City Hotels, Resorts, Belgrade City Hotels & Other) to be more appropriate, since location and type of the hotel are characterized as the main factors determining the risks, the opportunities and the performance of the hotel units of the Group.

If total external revenue, presented per operating segments constitutes less than 75% of the Group's earnings, then other sectors identified as reportable segments until at least 75% of the Group's earnings is included in the reportable operating segments.

Operating segments that do not meet any of the quantitative thresholds set by IFRS 8 are not considered reportable segments and are not separately disclosed if the management believes that information about the separate area is not useful to users of financial statements.

The accounting principles used by the Group for the purposes of segment reporting under IFRS 8 are the same as those used in the preparation of the financial statements.

There have been no changes compared to the previous year valuation methods used to determine gain or loss of the segment. There have been no asymmetrical allocations to the reportable segments. Asymmetric allocation is effective, for example, when a company allocates depreciation expenses to a geographical segment without allocating the respective depreciable assets.

3.5. Revenue and expenses recognition

Revenue is recognized when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow into the entity and these benefits can be measured reliably.

The revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received and it is net of value added tax, returns, rebates and any kind of reduction after limiting the sales within the Group.

The amount of revenue is considered that can be reliably measured when all contingencies relating to the sale have been settled.

Sale of goods

Revenue from sale of goods is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have been transferred to the buyer, usually on dispatch of those goods.

Provision of services

Most of the revenues for the Group come from rendering services related to the rental of rooms, use of hotel facilities, catering services, use of the building facilities. Under IFRS 15, revenue is recognized at a given point in time when the obligation to perform the service is met. Under the existing revenue recognition accounting policy, the Group and the Company recognize revenue for services when they are rendered.

Principal/Agent distinction

When a third party is involved in provision of goods or services, the Group and the Company shall determine whether the nature of the service offer is an obligation to perform services by itself (that is, it is the principal) or not (that is, it is the agent). Based on the assessment performed so far, the Group acts as the principal regarding the largest part of the transactions. In cases when the Group and the Company act as agents, they shall only recognize net profit as income.

Voucher

The Group and the Company receive prepayments from customers and recognize a contractual obligation equal to the amount of prepayment for the obligation to transfer goods or services in the future. The Group and the Company recognize revenue when they transfer these goods or services and, consequently, fulfill the obligation in question. However, customers may not exercise all their contractual rights. Under the new standard, the Group and the Company shall estimate whether they will be entitled to an amount by not redeeming the rewards. If it has been defined that the Group and the Company are entitled to an amount from non-redeeming rewards, then they will recognize the estimated benefit as revenue when the probability of residual rights being exercised by the client is minimized. The Company's Management estimates that the probabilities that the customers' contractual rights are not exercised are not high.

Income from interests

Income from interest is recognized using the effective interest method that is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument or, when appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or liability.

When a receivable is impaired, the Group reduces the carrying value of the amount expected to be recovered, which is the amount arising from the estimated future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate and continues the periodic reversal of the discount as interest income. Income from interests on loans that have been impaired are recognized using the initial effective interest rate.

Income from royalties

Income from royalties is recognized according to the accrual inputs outputs, depending on the substance of the relevant agreement.

Income from dividends

Income from dividends is recognized when finalized the the shareholders' right to receive payment from them is finalized.

Operating expenses are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income for the year over the use of the service or the date of creation. Expenditure for warranties is recognized and charged against the related provision when the corresponding revenue is recognized.

IFRIC 13: Customer Loyalty Programs

Customer loyalty programs give customers incentives to purchase products or services from a company. If a customer buys goods or services, then the company grants award credits "points" which the customer can redeem in the future for free or discounted products/services. These programs may be run by the company itself or by a third party. IFRIC 13 can be applied to all the award credits loyalty programs a company can provide to

its customers as part of a transaction. IFRIC 13 is mandatory effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2008. The retrospective application is required while earlier application is encouraged as long as it is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. The implementation of the above program does not affect the Group's results.

3.6. Borrowing cost

Borrowings are initially recognized at fair value, including bank charges and commissions.

The Company's Management believes that the interest paid in connection with loans is equivalent to the current market interest rates and, therefore, there is no reason for any adjustments to the value at which these liabilities are presented.

Any difference between the proceeds ( net of transaction costs ) and the redemption value is recognized in the income statement over the term of the loan.

Borrowings are classified as current except when the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the balance sheet date. Borrowing costs are recognized as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.

The Group capitalizes all borrowing costs that can be directly attributable to acquisition, construction or production of an asset that meets the qualifying conditions.

3.7. Goodwill

Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at cost, that is the exercise cost of the business combination exceeding the buyers participation in the net fair market value of identifiable assets, liabilities and and contingent liabilities. After the initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. The acquirer tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis or more often if events or changing conditions indicate the possibility of impairment. No goodwill impairment arose from the test conducted on 31/12/2020.

3.8. Other intangible assets

An intangible asset is initially valued at acquisition cost. The cost of an intangible asset acquired in a business combination is the fair value of the asset on the acquisition date.

After the initial recognition, intangible assets are valued at cost less accumulated amortization and any impairment loss.

Acquired licenses regarding software are capitalized based on acquisition and installation expense.

Expenses related to software maintenance are recorded in the expenses of the period when incurred.

The useful lives of intangible assets are either definite or indefinite depending on their nature.

Intangible assets with definite useful life are amortized over their useful life and the amortization commences when the asset is available for use and is recognized in the category of operating expenses.

The period and amortization method are reviewed at least at every fiscal ear end. If the expected useful life or the expected consumption rate of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset are changed, the amortization period or method are changed respectively. Such changes are accounted for as changes in accounting estimates.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are tested at least annually for impairment as well as in order to determine whether the management's assessment of the indefinite useful lives of these intangible assets is supported. If not supported, the change in the useful life assessment from indefinite to definite treated as a change in an accounting estimate in accordance with IAS 8. Gains or losses arising from the sale of an intangible asset are determined as the difference between the sale amount and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in the income statement in the item " Other income " or "Other expenses".

3.8.1. Acquired software

Intangible assets include acquired software used under production or management.

The costs capitalized are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives (three to five years). Additionally, the acquired software is also tested for impairment.

3.9. Property, plant and equipment

Buildings, technical equipment, furniture are presented at acquisition cost or at acquisition cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. The cost also includes the cost of spare parts of some tangible assets that require replacement at regular intervals, if the criteria for acknowledgment are fulfilled. The artwork owned by the Group is not depreciated.

The costs of daily maintenance of property, plant and equipment are recognized in the income statement when incurred.

If the carrying amount of tangible assets has suffered depreciation or an impairment loss, it is recognized in the total income for the year.

The gain or loss on sale of land will be determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount of the asset and is recorded in the income statement.

Depreciation is calculated using the straight line method over the entire useful life of the assets. For works of art held by the company, no depreciation is calculated.

The buildings that have been acquired through financial leases are depreciated throughout their estimated useful lives (determined in relation to comparable owned assets), if shorter.

The useful lives of tangible assets of the Group (in years) are summarized below as follows:

Buildings & building facilities 4-33
Machinery & Equipment 2-20
Vehicles 5-9
Furniture 2-33
Office equipment /telephone devises 3-33
Printing / Hardware 4-5

The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate at every year end.

3.10. Impairment of Assets

Assets with indefinite useful life are not depreciated and are tested for impairment annually irrespective of the existence of indication of impairment. The difference between the carrying amount and the net undepreciated amount is recorded in the income statement. Assets subject to depreciation are tested for impairment when there are indications that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The recoverable amount is the higher of net selling price and value in use. Assets impairment losses are recognized by the entity when the carrying amount of those assets (or Cash Generating Unit) is higher than their recoverable amount.

The net selling price is defined as the amount from the sale of the asset in the context of a bi-lateral arm's length transaction after the deduction of any additional direct cost for sale of the asset, while value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to flow in the business from the use of the asset and from its sale at the end of its estimated useful life.

This review resulted in an impairment regarding the Group's privately owned hotels amounting to € 1,878 k and regarding investments in subsidiaries of the Parent amounting to € 2,040 k. See Notes 5.2, 5.4 and 5.5. With the exception of goodwill, all assets are subsequently revalued in cases where the initially recognized impairment loss may not be effective.

3.11. Leases

3.11.1. The Group as a lessee

Leases are recognized in the statement of financial position as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the date on which the leased fixed asset becomes available for use. Every lease payment is divided between the lease liability and interest, which is charged to the income statement throughout the lease, in order to obtain a fixed interest rate for the remainder of the financial liability in every period. Rights-of-use assets are initially measured at their cost, and then reduced by the amount of accumulated depreciation and potential impairment. The right-of-use is depreciated in the shortest period between the useful life of the asset or duration of its lease, applying the straight line method. The initial measurement of the right-of-use assets consists of:

  • The amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability,
  • Lease payments made on or before the commencement date, reduced by the amount of discounts or other incentives offered,
  • Initial costs, which are directly linked to the rent,
  • Recovery costs.

Finally, they are adjusted to specific remeasurements of the corresponding lease liability. Lease liabilities are initially calculated at the present value of rentals, which were not paid at the inception of the lease. They are discounted at the imputed rate of the lease or, if this interest rate cannot be determined by the contract, with the differential lending rate (IBR). The differential borrowing rate is the cost that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the necessary capital in order to obtain an item of similar value as the leased asset, in a similar economic environment and under similar terms and assumptions.

Lease liabilities include net present value of:

  • Fixed leases (including any in-substance fixed leases)
  • Variable leases, depending on the rate
  • Residual value expected to be paid
  • The price of an option to purchase the underlying asset, if the lessor is almost certain to exercise it
  • Penalties for termination of a lease if the lessor chooses this option.

After their initial measurement, the lease obligations are increased by their financial cost and are reduced by the payment of rents. Finally, they are reassessed when there is a change: a) to rents due to a change of index, b) to the estimation of the amount of residual value, which is expected to be paid, or c) to the assessment of a choice of purchase or extension, which is relatively certain that it will be exercised or a right of termination of the contract, which is relatively certain that it will not be exercised.

The Group and the Company during the transition made use of the following practical facilities provided by IFRS 16 for leases classified as functional, in accordance with IAS 17:

  • Use of previously made assessments under applying IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 to determine whether a contract contains a lease, or whether a contract is a lease on the date of initial application.
  • Use of accounting treatment of operating leases for leases with a maturity of under 12 months from 1 January 2019.
  • Use of a single discount rate on a lease portfolio with similar characteristics.
  • Excluding initial direct costs for measuring the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application.

3.11.2. The Group as a lessor

Leases where the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset are classified as operating leases. Initial direct costs incurred by lessors in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the book value of the leased asset and are recognized over the lease term as the lease income.

3.12. Financial Assets

The financial assets of the Group include loans and receivables.

The impairment testing takes place at least at every financial statements publication date or when there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets have suffered impairment or not.

3.12.1. Loans and Receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed determinants and payments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise when the Group provides money , goods or services directly to a debtor with no commercial intent. Loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment. Any change in the value of loans and receivables is recognized in profit or loss when the loans and receivables are written off or reduce their value or during the period of amortization.

Trade receivables are tested for impairment per separate receivable (for example for every customer) where collecting the receivable is classified as overdue at the date of the financial statements or in cases where objective evidence indicates the need for impairment. Regarding other receivables - the simplified method effective under IFRS 9 is applied in order to identify expected credit losses due to low credit risk involved in such receivables.

Loans and receivables are included in current assets, except those maturing after 12 months from the balance sheet date. These are characterized as non-current assets. In the balance sheet, they are classified as trade and other receivables and constitute the biggest component of the Group's financial assets.

3.13. Inventory

Inventories include raw materials, materials and goods purchased.

Cost includes all costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition, which are directly attributable to the production process, as well as a part of general expenses associated with the production, which is absorbed in the normal capacity of the production facilities.

The financial cost is not taken into account .

At the balance sheet date, inventories are valued at the lowest amount between the acquisition cost and net realizable value.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business operations less estimated cost which is necessary to make the sale.

Cost is determined using the weighted average cost method.

3.14. Accounting for Income Tax

3.14.1. Current Income Tax

The current tax asset/obligation includes obligations to or receivables from tax authorities relating to the current or previous reporting periods not paid until the balance sheet date.

They are calculated according to the tax rates and tax legislation effective in the fiscal period to which they relate, based on the taxable profit for the year. All changes to the current tax assets or obligations are recognized as tax expense in the income statement.

3.14.2. Deferred Income Tax

Deferred income tax is calculated applying the liability method that focuses on temporary differences. This method involves comparing the accounting value of assets and liabilities of the consolidated financial statements with their respective tax bases.

Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent it is likely that they will be offset against future income taxes.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences. In addition and in accordance with IAS 12, deferred tax is not recognized in relation to goodwill.

No deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries if reversal of these temporary differences can be controlled by the company while it is expected that the temporary difference will not reverse in the future. In addition, tax losses that can be carried forward to subsequent periods and tax credits to the Group are recognized as deferred tax assets.

No deferred tax is recognized under initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the asset or liability are settles, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Most changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized as tax expense in the income statement. Only changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities related to changes in the value of the asset or liability that is charged directly to equity are charged or credited directly to equity.

The Group recognizes a previously unrecognized deferred tax asset to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will allow the recovery of the deferred tax asset.

Deferred tax assets are reviewed at every balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow the benefit of part or all of the deferred tax asset.

3.15. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and cash available and short term highly liquid investments such as money market securities and bank deposits with original maturities of three months or less. The market values of financial assets are stated at fair value through profit or loss.

For the purpose of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, excluding the outstanding balances of bank overdrafts.

3.16. Equity

Share capital is determined using the nominal value of the shares issued. Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

The share capital increase through cash payment includes any share premium in the initial issuance of the share capital. Any transaction costs associated with the issuance of the shares and any arising related income tax benefit are deducted from the share capital increase.

If an entity acquires equity instruments, those instruments (the "treasury shares") are deducted from equity. If such shares are subsequently reissued, the consideration received (net of related transaction costs and the related income tax benefit) is included in equity attributable to shareholders. Under acquisition, sale, issuance or cancellation of equity instruments no profit or loss is recognized in the income statement.

The revaluation reserve comprises gains and losses due to revaluation of certain financial assets and tangible assets. Exchange differences arising from the translation are included in the conversion reserves. Retained earnings include the current results and those of previous periods as disclosed in the income statement.

3.17. Retirement benefits and short-term employee benefits

3.17.1. Retirement benefits

A defined benefit plan is a pension plan that does not fall under a defined contribution plan. Typically, defined contribution plans define an amount of benefit that an employee will receive on retirement, usually dependent on factors such as age, years of service and compensation.

The liability recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date of actuarial unrecognized gains or losses and past service costs. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the Projected Credit Unit Method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the expected future cash outflows using interest rates of high-yield corporate bonds, which are shown in the currency in which the benefits will be paid and have terms to maturity depending on the terms of the related pension liability.

Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in proportionate matters at the end of the previous reporting period exceeded the greater of 10% of the fair value of plan assets or 10% of the defined benefit obligation are charged or credited to results based on the expected average remaining working lives of the employees participating in this program

Past service costs are recognized immediately in income, unless the changes to the pension plans are voluntary for the employees remaining in service for a specified period (vesting date). In this case, the past service costs are amortized on a consistent basis over the vesting period.

A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into an independent administrative institution in mandatory, contractual or voluntary basis. The company will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employee benefits, for services rendered current or prior years. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent possible a refund or a reduction in future payments.

3.17.2. Termination benefits

Termination benefits are payable when service employment is terminated by the Group before the normal retirement date, or when an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits.

The Group recognizes termination benefits when it is documentarily committed to either terminating the employment of current employees according to a detailed formal plan without possibility of withdrawal or providing termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. When the termination benefits are due for more than 12 months, after the balance sheet date they are discounted to present value.

3.18. Financial Liabilities

The Group's financial liabilities include bank loans and overdraft accounts, trade and other liabilities and finance leases. The Group's financial liabilities (excluding loans) are presented in the balance sheet in the item "Noncurrent financial liabilities" and in the item "Other trade liabilities".

Financial liabilities are recognized when the Group has entered into a contractual agreement of an instrument and are derecognized when the Group is exempted from the liability or it is canceled or expires.

The interest is recognized as an expense in "Finance Costs" in the income statement.

Liabilities from finance leases are measured at initial value less the amount of financial capital repayments.

Trade liabilities are recognized initially at their nominal value and are subsequently measured at amortized cost less settlement payments.

Dividends to shareholders are included in the item "Other current financial liabilities' when the dividends are approved by the General Meeting of Shareholders.

Gains and losses are recognized in the income statement when the liabilities are written off, as well as through amortization.

When an existing financial liability is exchanged with another liability of a different form with the same lender but under substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, for example an exchange or modification, it is treated as a write off of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. Any difference in the respective accounting value is recognized in the income statement.

3.18.1. Loans

Bank loans provide long-term and/or short-term financing of the Group operations. All loans are initially recognized at cost, being the fair value of the consideration received excluding the cost of issuing the loan.

After initial recognition, loans are measured at amortized cost and any difference between the revenue and the payoff is recognized in the income statement over the period of lending using the effective interest rate method.

The amortized cost is calculated taking into account any issue costs and any discount or premium on settlement amount.

The bond loan represents the Group's liability for future coupon payments and repayment of principal payment. If the bond loan is convertible then the equity component of the loan represents the value of the right of the bondholders to convert it into the company's common shares and is presented in equity (net of applicable tax).

3.19. Other provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets

Provisions are recognized when a present obligation is likely to lead to an outflow of economic resources for the Group, in the case that this outflow can be reliably estimated. The timing or amount of the outflow may be uncertain.

A present obligation arises from the presence of a legal or constructive obligation resulting from past events, for example, product warranties, legal disputes or onerous contracts

Restructuring provisions are recognized only if a detailed formal plan has been developed and implemented, or management has at least announced the features of the program to those who are affected by it. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses.

When some or all of the expenditure required to settle a provision, is expected to be reimbursed by another party, the reimbursement will be recognized when, and only when, it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received if the entity settles the obligation and the obligation is treated as a separate asset. The amount recognized for the reimbursement shall not exceed the amount of the provision.

The expense relating to a provision is presented in the income statement, net of the amount recognized for the reimbursement.

A provision is used only for the expenses, regarding which an initial provision was made. Provisions are reviewed at every balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.

Provisions are measured at the expected cost required to determine the present obligation, based on the most reliable evidence available at the balance sheet date, including the risks and uncertainties associated with the present obligation.

When the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount of the provision is the present value of the expenses expected to be required to settle the obligation.

The pre-tax discount rate reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The rate does not reflect risks for which future cash flow estimates have been adjusted.

When the method of discounting is used, the carrying amount of a provision increases in each period to reflect the passage of time. This increase is recognized as borrowing cost in the results. When a number of similar obligations exist, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognized even if the likelihood of an outflow to an element included in the class of obligations may be small.

If it is no longer probable that an outflow of resources incorporating economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, the provision will be reversed.

In such cases where the possible outflow of economic resources as a result of present obligations is considered improbable, or the amount of the provision cannot be estimated reliably, no liability is recognized in the consolidated balance sheet, unless considered in the context of the business combination.

These contingent liabilities are recognized as part of allocating the cost of acquiring the assets and liabilities in the business combination. Subsequently they are measured at the highest amount of a comparable provision as described above and at the amount initially recognized, less any depreciation.

Possible inflows of economic benefits for the Group that do not yet meet the criteria of an asset are considered contingent assets.

On June 5, 2019 the company "Kriezotou Touristiki Single Member SA" was established, with exclusive shareholder, holding 100% of the share capital, the company " Lampsa Greek Hotels S.A.". The objective of this company was the operation of the under construction hotel "MGallery", owned by AUXILIARY FUND OF FORMER EMPLOYEES OF THE AGRICULTURAL BANK OF GREECE ("ATPPEATE"), under the existing lease agreement of the aforementioned hotel.

In 2020, the construction of Athens Capital Hotel - MGallery at the junction of Panepistimiou and Kriezotou streets, in Syntagma Square, was finalized and the hotels opened on September 1, 2020. The five-star hotel has 158 rooms, 18 suites and a Presidential Suite. It operates under the brand of Accor MGallery Collection, based on a 25-year term agreement.

In December 2019, the parent company acquired the remaining percentage (2,28%) in the company EXCELSIOR BELGRADE AD versus a consideration of 154 k € , holding 100% of the subsidiary.

In January 2020, the sale of 100% of shares in the company EXCELSIOR BELGRADE AD was completed to another subsidiary BMP AD NOVI BEOGRAD – the owner of "Hyatt Regenecy Belgrade" hotel versus a consideration of 5.620 k €. In order to determine the consideration during the previous year, the company was valued by an independent Appraiser.

Based on the value of the valuation during the previous year, an impairment performed in previous years amounting to € 2,049 k was reversed, and, therefore, the disposal made during the current year has no effect on the company's results.

5. Notes to financial statements

5.1. Segment reporting

In accordance with the provisions of IFRS 8, identification of operating segments is based on the "Management approach". According to this approach, the information to be disclosed regarding the operating segments should be based on internal organizational and management structure of the Group and the main items of internal financial reporting provided to the key decision makers. In the current, the Management decided to change the way of monitoring the business segments. Operating segments are now monitored per geographical area where the hotel units are located as the management considers it to be the most efficient way for decision making regarding allocation of resources and evaluation of their performance. The management estimates that monitoring operating segments per geographical area is more appropriate as this way better reflects the special characteristics (risks, opportunities, competition, etc.) of the hotel units due to the area where they are located. Therefore, the management decided on a change in operating segments, presenting the following categories: Athens City Hotels, Resorts, Belgrade City Hotels & Other) instead of renting rooms, food and beverage sales and other activities presented in the previous years. It is to be noted that the Group applies the same accounting principles for the measurement of operating segments results as those in the Financial Statements.

Transactions between operating segments are performed within the regular business operations of the Group. Inter-segment sales are eliminated on consolidation.

The Group results, assets and liabilities per segment in respect of the presented periods are analyzed as follows:

In 2020, the parent company transferred all the operations, carried out on behalf of the company "Kriezotou SA" amounting to € 5.2 million and the reconstruction of the Athens Capital Hotel - MGallery at the junction of

Panepistimiou and Kriezotou streets, in Syntagma Square was completed and started operating on September 1, 2020. The remaining amount of fixed assets under construction on 31/12/2020 amounting to € 2.9 million mainly concerns office building costs in Bucharest for the purpose of their inclusion in the building of "Grand Bretagne".

Other additions pertain to renovations of existing facilities and supply of furniture and other equipment. On 31/12/2020 the Management of the Group carried out an impairment test of the value of its tangible assets (hotels), including Kriezotos right-of-use, due to the health crisis of the coronavirus, which is an indication of potential impairment. The impairment test disclosed impairment of the Tangible Assets of the subsidiary EXCELSIOR by € 1,877 k and burdened the Group's Statement of Comprehensive Income.

The Management conducted the impairment test applying the value in use method. The value in use was determined based on the estimated model of Discounted Free Cash Flows and the 5-year business plan of the cash flow generating unit was used for its calculation.

The following assumptions were used in order to determine value in use:

CGU WACC Growth Rate

In December 2019, the parent company became a 100% shareholder of EXCELSIOR BELGRADE SOCIATE OWNED following the completion of the acquiring the remaining shares from the remaining shareholders versus a consideration of € 154 k. The acquisition price was determined following the company's valuation by an

independent appraiser as required in the relevant legislation and the regulations of the local Capital Market Commission. Based on the valuation value of the company EXCELSIOR BELGRADE SOCIATE OWNED, which amounted to € 5,620 k, in 2019, an impairment of € 2,049 k was reversed and recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income of the parent.

In January 2020, 100% of the shares of EXCELSIOR BELGRADE AD were sold to another subsidiary BMP AD NOVI BEOGRAD, the owner of "Hyatt Regenecy Belgrade" hotel versus the consideration of € .5620, as arising from the company's valuation without any impact on the statement of comprehensive income for 2020.

On June 5, 2019 the company "Kriezotou Touristiki Single Member SA" was established, with exclusive shareholder the company "Lampsa Greek Hotels S.A.". The share capital stood at 5,800 k. €, divided into 5,800 common shares of nominal value 1 € and share premium amount of 5,750 k €. The company's objective is to establish and operated the hotel unit and other touristic facilities.

In 2019, the share capital return was performed regarding the subsidiary Luella Enterprises Company Limited through a decrease in share premium amounting to 350 k €.

On 31/12/2020, the Management conducted an impairment test of the participation cost in its subsidiaries, applying the value in use method. The value in use was determined based on the estimate model of the Discounted Free Cash Flows and the 5-year business plan of each subsidiary was used for its calculation. The impairment test disclosed an impairment of a total amount of € 2,040 k and, therefore, on 31/12/2020, the participation in the subsidiary KRIEZOTOU SA stands at € 9,510 k.

The following assumptions were used in order to determine value in use:

5.5. Goodwill

In 2018, "LAMPSA SA" acquired the remaining 50% of the share capital of the company "TOURISTIKA THERETRA SA" (Sheraton Rhodes Resort hotel) while since prior year (2008) it held a percentage of 50%. Goodwill amounting to € 3,475 k was recognized from this acquisition. Following the acquisition of "TOURISTIKA THERETRA SA" and the acquisition of 100% of the voting rights, "LAMPSA SA" proceeded with the merger through the absorption of the latter by the former with the balance sheet date of 31/10/2018.

On 31/12/2019, the goodwill was tested for impairment, which was recognized.

For purposes of impairment test, goodwill is allocated to cash flows generating units of Sheraton Rhodes Resort hotel. The recoverable amount of Sheraton Rhodes Resort in Rhodes was determined based on its value in use. The value in use was determined by discounting the future free cash flows of the hotel after tax by the weighted average cost of capital after taxes. The result would be the same if we discounted cash flows before tax with pre-tax discount rate. In determining the value in use, the Managements uses assumptions that it deems reasonable and based on the best information that is available and valid at the reporting date of the financial statements.

No need to impair goodwill has arisen following the conduct of the impermanent test as at 31/12/2020. The following assumptions were used in order to determine value in use:

Business Plans assumptions 2021-2026: The calculations for determining the recoverable amount of the CGU was based on 5-year business plans approved by the Management, which believes that they reflect past experience and other available information from external sources. Apart from the above considerations concerning the determination of the book value of the CGU, the Management is not aware of any other changes in circumstances that may affect the other assumptions.

Perpetuity growth: The growth rate of cash flows beyond the forecast period (growth) was calculated taking into account both macroeconomic factors and characteristics of CGU stands at 2% as at 31/12/2020 and 31/12/2019. A change of -+1% in perpetuity growth has not resulted in impairment of Goodwill.

Discount rate: The discount rate used for valuation was based on the Weighted Average Cost of Capital, which is the discount rate that converts the expected future return in present value. It is considered to be the most appropriate discount rate, since it takes into account qualitative factors such as the systematic risk of the company, the risk premium on performance and the company's tax liabilities and stands at 7.98% as at 31/12/2020 and at 7,5% as at 31/12/2019.

The Сompany has commissioned independent actuaries to create an estimation of Company obligation to pay retirement indemnities. The key actuarial assumptions on 31 December 2020 are as follows:

THE GROUP THE COMPANY
31/12/2020 31/12/2019 31/12/2020 31/12/2019
Discount rate as at December 31st 0,54% 0,97% 0,54% 0,97%
Future salary increases 1,40% 1,40% 1,40% 1,40%
Inflation 1,40% 1,40% 1,40% 1,40%
Liabilities maturity 16,34 17,97 16,34 17,97

Demographic assumptions:

The assumptions presented below pertain to various causes of employment termination.

1) Mortality

Swiss EVK2000 mortality table has been used for men and women.

2) Morbidity

Swiss EVK2000 mortality table for men and women has been used modified by 50%

3) Regular Employment Termination Ages

The terms of employment termination of the Social Insurance Fund were used regarding every employee considering recognition of average two years service under the provisions of the Insurance Act.

The above results depend on the assumptions (economic and demographic) generated under an actuarial study. Therefore, if a 0.5% lower discount rate had been applied, then the total liability would have been higher by approximately 8.15%. If a 0.5% higher discount rate had been applied, then the total liability would have been lower by approximately 7.50%. If a 0.5% higher salary increase assumption had been applied, then the total liability would have been higher by approximately 7.50%. If a 0.5% lower salary increase assumption had been applied, then the total liability would have been lower by approximately 6.50%.

5.13. Lease liabilities

The liabilities recognized in the Company arise from leases for offices and warehouses for a period exceeding 12 months. The Group's liabilities arise from the newly established subsidiary KRIEZOTOU TOURISTIKI SINGLE MEMBER S.A. to which the contract signed by the parent company with the AUXILIARY FUND OF FORMER EMPLOYEES OF THE AGRICULTURAL BANK OF GREECE ("ATPPEATE") was transferred and provided for the lease of the King's Palace Hotel for 35 years. The contract provides for a fixed rent which from the 2nd year will be adjusted based on the CPI plus margin and a variable rent depending on the hotel's turnover per year. Variable lease payments dependent on turnover are not included in the minimum future payments used to measure the right-of-use asset and the lease liability. Variable lease payments that are dependent on turnover will burden the results of the FY in which they are recorded as receivables. The hotel started operating on September 1st, 2020 and the first rental was paid on September 11th 2020.

5.20. Analysis of Income Statement

In the first two months of the year the Group started with positive growth rates, but from the beginning of March the rapid spread of coronavirus COVID-19 in Europe began to significantly reduce travel behavior worldwide.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the coronavirus COVID-19 a pandemic, whose rapid spread has adversely affected business and economic activity around the world and has caused suspension or slowdown of activities in significant sectors of the economy.

The Group mainly operates in the hotel segment, affected since the beginning of March by the unprecedented crisis, which in the first months of the year arose from the significant reduction of travel and quickly deteriorated with the rapid spread of the virus, the occurrence of cases in the country and finally with the imposition of the suspension of operation of three hotels of the Group in Greece. The Group's Management has been timely monitoring all the developments and is in constant communication with the hotels' association, the Hotel Chamber and all the competent bodies, as well as with the special unit of the management company, for any action deemed necessary regarding the measures imposed in order to protect the health of employees and the public, At the same time, the Management records the risks and evaluates the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic at each stage, on the results and future cash flows of the Group and takes measures based on adequacy of its liquidity, ensuring the Group's going concern.

In their effort to reduce the spread of the pandemic, the countries worldwide apply a series of restrictive measures, including the suspension of hotels operation, which has a direct impact on the Group's operations.

Thereafter, as analytically described in the COVID-19 section, a global package of measures was imposed in order to address the spread of the pandemic, whose impact immediately affected the Group, following the suspension of hotels operation in Greece and almost zero hotel traffic in Serbia, while a large number of cancellations were made for future periods.

It is worth noting that the Group's Management decided to continue the investment of the subsidiary Kriezotou S.A. during the pandemic, and, as a result, the hotel "Athens Capital" opened its gates in September 2020. The investment amounted to € 27.4 million, of which € 16 million plus VAT was paid during the year. Its operation ceased on November 6, 2020 after the imposition of restrictive measures by the government. In addition, the Company started the implementation of an investment renovation plan in the group hotels (including the exterior side of the King George Hotel), which is expected to amount to 4 million.

Suspension of hotels: Specifically, the operation of Grande Bretagne and King George Hotels was suspended by government order from 22 March 2020. The Grande Bretagne Hotel reopened on 15 July 2020, while the King George Hotel remained closed until the end of 2020. The Sheraton Rhodes (seasonal) Hotel opened for the summer season on 28 July 2020 and was open until 31 October 2020. The company's hotels in Serbia ("Hyatt Regency Belgrade" and "Excelsior Mercure Belgrade") continued to operate, however, they operated with almost zero turnover, and a corresponding operating loss, which was mitigated due to the extremely low cost of wages and local government incentives.

The restriction on the Group's operations is reflected in the financial sizes of the luxury hotel market in Athens and consequently of the Group's operations during 2020.

Conference tourism has also been adversely affected by the restrictions on large gatherings. Moreover, the cruises that also made contribution to hotels operations, have been virtually nullified.

The room occupancy in Athens luxury hotels market decreased by 40.1% compared to the corresponding period of 2019, bringing the rate to 41.5% (for the period before their suspension) compared to 69.3% in 2019. The average hotel room rate decreased by 18.5% compared to 2019, reaching € 137.94 compared to € 169.31 in 2019. As a result, revenue per available room decreased in Athens luxury hotels by 51.2% (€ 57.20 against € 117.29 in 2019) and respectively the total room revenues decreased by 75.9%.

The "Grande Bretagne" Ηotel presented decrease in sales by 75.25% compared to the corresponding period last year 2019, while "King George" Ηotel presented a decrease in sales by 75.02%. "Sheraton Rhodes Hotel" did not open during the first half of 2020. Regarding the Group Hotels in Serbia, "Hyatt Regency Belgrade" decreased by 55.11% and "Mercure Excelsior" decreased by 69,56%.

On the basis of the aforementioned, the most significant items of the Financial Statements changed as follows:

  • The Group's turnover amounted to € 17,735 k compared to € 77,815 k in 2019, recording a decrease by 77.21%.

5.27. Contingent assets – liabilities

Litigations

a) Administrative procedures for the compensation to former owners of the land on which the Hyatt Hotel (subsidiary company BEOGRADSKO MESOVITO PREDUZECE) and other third party structures have been constructed. Given the new data regarding the case and the lawyer's representation letter, the company has calculated that the estimated value of the provision shall amount to a total of € 1.169 k.

b) Court cases filed against the subsidiary company BEOGRADSKO MESOVITO PREDUZECE standing at 1.1 m (less interest and surcharges) referring to the former employees demanding compensation due to termination of the employment relationship. The Group's Management estimates that there are no reasons for compensation concerning the termination of the employment relationship, given that both plaintiffs voluntarily resigned. The Management of the Subsidiary has also acted against the plaintiffs, and interrogations for both conflicts have not yet started. As the cases are still at an early stage, the final outcome cannot presently be determined, and no provision has been made in the financial statements of the Group.

Apart from the aforementioned, there are no other litigation or arbitration disputes of courts or arbitration bodies that may have a significant influence on the financial statements or operations of the Group and the Company beyond the provisions that have already been made (§ 5.11).

Unaudited tax years

The unaudited tax years of the Group companies are as follows:

Company Unaudited Years
LAMPSA HELLENIC HOTELS S.A. 2018-2020
LUELLA ENTERPRISES LTD 2011 - 2020
TOURISTIKA THERETRA S.A. (BEFORE ABSORPTION) 2014-2018 (10 month)
EKSCELSIOR BELGRADE SOCIALLY OWNED HOTEL & CATERING
TOURIST ENTERPRISES 2007 - 2020
BEOGRADSKO MESOVITO PREDUZECE 2011 - 2020
MARKELIA LTD 2011 - 2020
KRIEZOYOU S.A. 2019 (from 5/6/2019) - 2020

For the unaudited tax years of the Group companies, there is a probability for additional taxes and penalties to be imposed, during the period when they are examined and finalized by the relevant tax authorities.

For the FYs 2011-2019, the parent company and TOURISTIKA THERETRA S.A. were subject to tax audit of the Certified Public Accountants as provided by Article 82, par.5, Law 2238/1994 and Article 65a, Law 4174/2013. Regarding the companies audited by Statutory Auditors and Auditing Firms in respect of tax provisions, the issues are selected for tax inspection in compliance with Article 26, Law 4174/2013, as effective. The tax inspection in question can be conducted within the FY, during which the Tax Authorities are entitled to issue tax identification acts.

For the FY 2020, the tax audit of the Certified Public Accountants for the issue of the Tax Compliance Report is in progress. The management does not expect that significant tax liabilities are to arise upon the completion of the tax audit, other than those recorded and presented in the financial statements.

According to the relevant legislation, the audit and issue of tax certificates are optional for the years 2017 and onwards.

For the fiscal years 2015-2017, tax authorities audited the parent company based on the audit order dated 14/05/2019 for all tax items. During the final phase of the audit, the findings of the tax authorities were disclosed to the company and accepted. Regarding these findings, the Parent has submitted amending statements to Income and Stamp Duties under the favorable provisions of Law 4512/18. The total amount of additional taxes and fines paid amounted to € 61 k for all three years and was charged to the Income Statement for 2019. The Tax Authorities delivered the Final Audit File (KEMEP) on 18/05/2020.

In addition, the audit order on 10/06/2019 was disclosed regarding the former company TOURISTIKA THERETRA SA, which was absorbed by the parent company in the previous fiscal year, for the fiscal year 2016-2017 for Income Taxes and VAT issues. The above audit has not started yet while it might be conducted as till 31/12/2021.

On 31/12/2020 the fiscal years until 31/12/2014 expired according to the provisions of par. 36 of Law 4174/2013, with the exceptions provided by the current legislation for the extension of the right of the Tax Administration to issue an administrative act, estimated or corrective tax determination in specific cases.

It is estimated that no significant additional tax liabilities will arise for the unaudited tax years of the other companies of the Group and, therefore, no relevant provision has been made.

5.28. Guarantees

The Group and the Company have contingent liabilities and assets related to banks, other guarantees and other matters arising in the ordinary course of business, as follows:

6. Risk management policies objectives

The Group is exposed to financial risks such as market risk (fluctuations in exchange rates, interest rates, market prices, etc.), credit risk and liquidity risk.

The Group's financial instruments mainly include bank deposits, overdraft rights, trade receivables and payables, loans to subsidiaries, associated companies, dividends payable and lease obligations.

Since 2008, the Group applies a risk management program for such risks. The Group's risk management program aims to limit the negative impact on the financial results of the Group caused by unpredictability of financial markets and fluctuation in the variables of cost and sales.

The risk management procedure applied by the Group, is as follows:

  • Evaluation of risks associated with the activities and operations of the Group,
  • Design of methodology and selection of appropriate financial products to reduce risks and
  • Application/implementation, in accordance with the procedure approved by the management, of the risk management procedures.

6.1. Currency risk

The Group operates in Greece, Cyprus and Serbia and its functional currency is Euro. However, there is a certain limited exposure to currency translation risk regarding US Dollar, mainly arising from loan and other liabilities in Dollars. The exchange rate risk of this kind arises from the rate of these currencies against Euro, partially offset by corresponding liabilities (e.g. loans) of the same currency.

Financial assets and liabilities in foreign currency converted into Euro at the closing rate are as follows:

2020 2019
Amounts in thousands
Nominal amounts US\$ US\$
Financial assets 28 173
Financial liabilities 1.658 935
Short-term exposure 1.630 762
Financial assets
Financial liabilities - 1.642
Long-term exposure - 1.642
Total 1.630 2.404

The following tables show the sensitivity of the result for the financial year as well as the equity in relation to financial assets and financial liabilities and Euro/Dollar exchange rate.

We assume a change of approximately 4.88% as at 31 December 2020 in the exchange rate of EUR / USD (2019: 2.25%). These percentages were based on the average market volatility in exchange rates for a period of 3 months from the end of each year (31/12).

In case € increases compared to the above currency, with the percentages mentioned above, the impact on the income statement for the year and equity will be as follows:

Amounts in thousands 2020 2019
US\$ US\$
Earnings before tax 71 56
Equity 54 43

In case € decreases compared to the above currency, with the percentage mentioned above, the impact on the income statement for the year and equity will be as follows:

Amounts in thousands 2020 2019
US\$ US\$
Earnings before tax (64) (54)
Equity (49) (41)

The exposure of the Group to foreign exchange risk varies during the year depending on the volume of transactions in foreign currency. However, the above analysis is considered representative of the Group's exposure to currency risk.

6.2. Sensitivity analysis of interest rate risk

Long-term financing is related to leasing contracts with variable interest rates (mainly Euribor and Libor).

The Group's policy is to minimize its exposure to cash flow interest rate risk on long-term financing. On 31 December 2020, the Company is exposed to changes in market interest rates, with regard to its bank loans, which are subject to variable interest rate.

The following table shows the sensitivity of the income statement for the year and equity to a reasonable change in interest rate of +1.0% or -1.0% (2019: + / -1%). The changes in interest rates are estimated to be reasonable compared to market conditions.

01/01-31/12/2020 01/01-31/12/2019

Tax rate 24% 24%

6.3. Credit risk analysis

The Group's exposure to credit risk is limited to financial assets (instruments) which, at the balance sheet date, are as follows:

Amounts in thousands € THE GROUP THE COMPANY
Financial assets categories 31/12/2020 31/12/2019 31/12/2020 31/12/2019

Trade receivables 5.972 6.365 1.325 5.066
Total 30.187 32.250 22.181 16.319

The majority of the Group's sales are performed through credit cards, the credit sales though are made to customers with evaluated credit history.

Regarding trade and other receivables, the Group is not exposed to significant credit risk. The credit risk in respect of liquidation receivables and other short term financial assets is considered limited.

The Group's management considers that all the above financial assets that are not impaired at the financial statements prep ration date are of high credit quality, including those owed.

None of the financial assets of the Group has been mortgaged or committed to any other form of credit insurance.

6.4. Liquidity risk analysis

The Group manages its liquidity needs by carefully monitoring the long-term financial liabilities as well as the daily payments. Liquidity needs are monitored in various time zones, on a daily and weekly basis and on a rolling 30-day period. The liquidity needs for the next 12 months are determined monthly.

The maturity of the Group and the Company liabilities to be settled on a cash basis is as follows:

The above contractual maturities reflect the gross cash flows, which may differ from the carrying amounts of liabilities at the balance sheet date.

As at 31/12/2020, the Company and the Group had negative working capital, as current liabilities exceed current assets by € 7,606 k and € 1,943 k respectively. The Company's current liabilities include current instalments of bond loans amounting to € 5,585 k (the Group: €5,585), of which, regarding the amortization, amounting to € 4,050 k, in 2021, the Company has agreed with the Bond Lenders to transfer the installments to the end of the contract (2029). Finally, short-term contractual obligations amounting to € 4,066 k for the Company (the Group: €4,194), which relate to prepayments for 2021 bookings are expected either to be transferred to the following years or settled through rendering services. Taking into account the above, the company's working capital becomes positive by € 510 k and the Group's – by € 6,173 k.

Moreover, regarding the impact of health crises caused by COVID-19, analytical information is provided in Unit C Risks and Uncertainties of the Board of Directors Report.

The financial statements of the Parent company and the subsidiaries have been prepared based on the going concern principle as the Group Management assesses that given the currently available data and its estimates of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the financial sizes of the Group for in the next 12 months and in relation to the aforementioned actions that have been carried out, there will be sufficient liquidity in order to ensure the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.

Moreover, in case the Company's liquidity needs to be strengthened, its two main shareholders "NAMSOS ENTERPRISES COMPANY LIMITED" and "DRYNA ENTERPRISES" (56.11%) as well as their final beneficiaries are committed to and have the financial capacity to cover the contingent needs at least for the next twelve months from the date of approval of its annual financial statements.

6.5. Risks & effects of Covid 19 pandemic - taking measures to address them

The Group started the first two months of the year with positive growth rates, but from the beginning of March, the rapid spread of the COVID-19 in Europe began to significantly reduce travel behavior worldwide. Subsequently, a global package of measures was imposed to address the spread of the pandemic, whose impact immediately affected the Group, as there was a suspension of hotels operation in Greece and almost zero hotel traffic in Serbia, while a large number of reservation cancellations were made for future periods.

Restrictions on the Group's operations have further adverse effect on the Group's financial sizes:

• The Management estimates that during 2020, the Group lost revenue of € 60 million and the Company of € 53 million. For 2021, an increase in sizes is expected, but it is estimated to be decreased by approximately 60% compared to 2019 when the Group recorded the peak of its turnover.

• Financial structure – liquidity :

The effects of the pandemic are expected to be significant for the Group resulting in generation of losses in 2021, however the Company's capital adequacy is expected to remain strong. In addition, a direct impact of the aforementioned shrinkage of the Group's turnover is the restriction on its liquidity. In order to endure the Group's going concern, the Group Management secured an additional liquidity of 18 million through borrowing with the guarantee of the European Development Bank.

• COVID-19 outbreaks, mutations, inability to address the crisis or ongoing imposition of restrictive measures on travel may continue to adversely affect the Group,

The pandemic is expected to change the behavior of both corporate and private clients and a decline in event revenue and catering is expected.

• Impairment of non-current assets (including goodwill):

Due to the impact of the pandemic on the global economy, in our country and consequently on the financial performance of the Group, during the conduct of the impairment test of the Group assets (privately owned hotels, right-of-use hotels, goodwill) and the Company (participations), decreased values in use have arisen, on case basis, whose impairment burdened the income statement and the financial position of the Group and the Company. The consolidated results of 2020 have been burdened with impairment of € 1,877 k (€ 1,596 k after tax), while the results of the Parent Company have been burdened with impairment of € 2,040 k (€ 1,550 k after tax).

These impairments are extraordinary and reflect the results of the pandemic period as well as the period required for the return to the pre-COVID-19 time. As all the impairments exclusively pertain to the effects of the Covid - 19 pandemic, the Management estimates that - with the return to normalcy - the Group's and the Company's non-current assets will regain their value.

The Management's actions to address the effects of Covid-19 and ensure the Group's going concern.

On the basis of the aforementioned procedure of assessment and identification of risk areas and always with the aim of ensuring the health of employees and customers, protection of public health in view of the hotels reopening as well as the Group's going concern, the Management took the following actions:

• Expenditure of approximately € 500 k on equipment and facilities, required for the hotels reopening, applying all the necessary hygiene protocols for customers and staff.

• The Management of the parent company secured a certificate from the representative of the Bondholding Creditors for their consent to the exception of the measurement of the financial ratios as of 31.12.2020 due to the effects of the pandemic.

• The company agreed with lending banks for the transfer of payments of € 7,950 k to the maturity of the loans, of which an amount of € 5,250 k was to be paid within the next 12 months.

• Due to LAMPSA Group solvency, the Management has already received new loans amounting to € 25 m for the Group and € 18 m for the parent company, through the business support program "Guarantee Fund for granting guarantees on new loans to companies affected by COVID 19 through the Hellenic Development Bank (HDB).

• The company participates in the labor subsidy programs for employees implemented by the government (suspension, "Syn-ergasia", etc.). This way achieves a reduction in wage costs for the period, when the hotels are closed or operating at low occupancy. Moreover, to facilitate further savings, fixedterm employee contracts expiring in the near future are not expected to be renewed. Finally, synergies are expected between the Group's hotels, with staff lending, for more cost-effective management. Following the implementation of the aforementioned actions, the company in 2020 managed to reduce its payroll costs by approximately € 9.2 m or 58% compared to the payroll costs in 2019.

• Finally, the company has dispatched credit vouchers, amounting to approximately € 450 k, to customers who have prepaid their future reservation, in order to avoid immediate outflow of money by repaying advances, while for the remaining advances it has already signed agreements to postpone scheduled visits.

The financial statements of the Parent and its subsidiaries have been prepared on the basis of the going concern principle as the Group's Management considers that given the currently available data and its estimates of the impact of Covid-19 pandemic on the Group's financial sizes for the following 12 months and in line with the aforementioned actions that have been planned, there will be sufficient liquidity in order to ensure the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. Moreover, in case the Company's liquidity needs to be strengthened, its two main shareholders "NAMSOS ENTERPRISES COMPANY LIMITED" and "DRYNA ENTERPRISES" (56.11%) as well as their final beneficiaries are committed to and have the financial capacity to cover the contingent needs at least for the next twelve months from the date of approval of its annual financial statements.

7. Capital management policies and procedures

The objectives of the Group in order to manage the capital are:

  • to ensure the ability of the Group to continue as a going-concern, and
  • to provide an adequate return to shareholders by pricing products according to the risk level.

The Group monitors capital on the basis of the amount of equity, less cash and cash equivalents as reflected in the Statement of Financial Position. The capital for the years 2020 and 2019 is analyzed as follows:

THE GROUP THE COMPANY
Amounts in thousands € 2020 2019 2020 2019
Total equity 85.044 101.728 64.026 76.993
Less: Cash and cash equivalents (24.215) (25.885) (20.856) (11.253)
Capital 60.830 75.842 43.170 65.740
Total equity 85.044 101.728 64.026 76.993
Plus: Loans 162.561 133.244 129.572 107.228
Total capital 247.606 234.972 193.597 184.221
Capital to Total capital 2/10 3/10 2/10 4/10

A medium term objective of the Group regarding capital management, and until the negative climate is reversed, it to maintain the ratio at the same level.

The Group sets the amount of capital in relation to its overall capital structure, for example equity and financial liabilities. The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments at the time when the economic situation and the risk characteristics of existing assets change. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends payable, return capital to shareholders, issue share capital or sell assets to reduce debt.

In the first two months of the year the Group started with positive growth rates, but from the beginning of March the rapid spread of coronavirus COVID-19 in Europe began to significantly reduce travel behavior worldwide.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic, whose rapid spread has adversely affected business and economic operations globally and has slowed down or put on hold activities of major segments of the economy.

The Group operates mainly in the hotel segment, which has been affected since the beginning of March by the unprecedented crisis, which in the first months of the year arose from significant travel restrictions and quickly deteriorated through the rapid spread of the virus, its emergence in our country and finally though the imposition of the suspension of operation of the Group's three hotels in Greece. The Management of the Group from a very early stage monitors all developments and is in constant contact with the hotel owners' association, the Hotel Chamber and all the competent bodies, as well as with the special unit of the management company, regarding any action deemed necessary to facilitate taking measures to protect the health of the employees and the broader public. Moreover, the Management records the risks and evaluates the impact of COVID-19 pandemic at its every stage on the income statement and future cash flows of the Group, taking measures based on adequacy of liquidity and ensuring the Group's going concern.

It is obvious from the aforementioned sizes, that 2020 was the most difficult period in the recent history of the Company, a fact that also applies to the hotel services segment in general. 2021 started for the segment with the same extremely difficult and uncertain conditions, due to the new outbreaks as well as the mutations of the virus that continue to apply pressure on the health systems of all countries and prevent lifting of restrictive measures, especially in travel, which are mostly still effective. In this environment, the forthcoming months are expected to be extremely difficult in terms of movement of visitors.

The Company's response to the pandemic was immediate while the effort continues at the same intensive pace to ensure the prospect of recovery when conditions allow. All the actions to ensure adequate liquidity and rational cost management aim both - at dealing with the unprecedented crisis and strengthening the Company's competitiveness in the long term and, consequently, at its return to pre-pandemic operational and financial condition.

The effect of the pandemic during the next year cannot be accurately determined at this stage as it depends on еру factors such as any additional measures, time required to develop the drug and extension of vaccinations, the time of recovery of the countries (USA , Great Britain, France, Spain, Italy, Central and Northern Europe) which constitute the main clientele of the hotels operating in Greece and the mentality of travelers. The exact timing of vaccination rates, the degree and speed of demand recovery, as well as state agreements on relocation protocols, remain significantly uncertain, especially at the time of restarting.

From the information available so far and the development of vaccination programs internationally, for 2021, the sizes are estimated to increase, though they will be reduced by approximately 60% compared to 2019, when the Group recorded the peak turnover.

Due to the devastating consequences of the pandemic for the hotel segment, a gradual return to the size of 2019 is expected to be achieved in 2024-2025.
