The most common risks that the Group is likely to be exposed to at the second half of the current year are the following:
The COVID‐19, which was first detected in China in December 2019 and has since spread to 188 countries around the world, with more than 30m. confirmed cases. The pandemic has unfavorable impact both on the global and the Greek economy. According to Eurostat estimates, the decline in GDP in the eurozone during the second quarter of 2020 (when the pandemic was in full swing) reached a historically high rate of 14,7%. The corresponding figure for our country was 15,2%, while at a semester level, GDP shrank by about 8%, a reduction rate that coincides with the baseline scenario for the whole year. However, the differences in the individual sectors of the Economy were intense, tourism was at the receiving end of the strongest pressures, while the retail sector corrected to slightly lower than the total percentage, being positively affected by product categories such as those in which the Group operates. In managing the effects of the pandemic, government measures to support businesses and workers, supported by multiple European programs and the supply of wide and extremely low cost liquidity by the European Central Bank, played a key role.
The Management of the Company and the Group closely and systematically monitors the developments and ensures the adoption of measures and policies that are deemed necessary and appropriate, in order to ensure its business continuity, its smooth operation and the reduction of any negative consequences. Particularly:
From the beginning of the pandemic in Greece, the business continuity plan was immediately implemented. All the administrative personnel and a significant part of the contact center worked from home throughout the period where the stores remained closed by law, while the work from home initiative continued after the opening of the stores as well. Compliance with the Government's emergency measures and recommendations was and remains complete. Both during the lockdown and after the reopening of the stores, a clear priority is given to the safety and health of both employees and customers.
In particular, when imposing the measure of temporary suspension of retail operations from mid‐March to late April, the Company focused on the smooth continuation of its operation through its online store (e‐shop), its contact center and the state‐of‐the‐art logistics center and the smooth delivery of its products.
Each electronic order is delivered with the option of intact delivery, subject to payment by electronic means of payment, while the preparation of each order is carried out by an employee equipped with personal protective equipment in an area that is disinfected on a systematic basis using strong antiseptics.
After the reopening of the stores, emphasis was placed on the detailed redesign of the processes and flows within the stores. All employees serve customers wearing a mask. Plexiglass separators have been placed on the payment points and service points to protect the employees and the customers.

In the event that Instructions for the hygiene rules, the mandatory start time, the maximum number of customers depending on the size of the store and the mandatory distances between customers are strictly observed, while signage has been placed in order to keep the appropriate distance for the cash points and antiseptic is provided in all areas.

products he wants and receive them at any Plaisio store, in just a few hours, minimizing his contacts and his time in the store.
Business trips have been limited to what is necessary both during and after the lockdown. Conversely, communication with key suppliers by electronic means has significantly increased.
Plaisio has made use of the following supportive measures of the Greek economy forced by the Greek Government for the support of the affected companies and more specifically the employee subsidy, the suspension of tax liabilities and the reduction of rent payments.
During the current health crisis, among other actions, the voluntary team #plai_sou has been active but from a distance. In addition, the Company, during the lockdown, provided tablets to students from 87 schools to the most remote areas in Greece.
The total bond loans of the Company and of the Group, on June 30th 2020, were 13.920 th. €, of which the long‐term loans were 11.880 th € (6.900 th. € on 31.12.2019), and the short term bond loan were 2.040 th. € (2.040 th. € on 31.12.2019). From the total bond loans, the 4.320 th. Euro refers to one common bond loans from NBG, while the the 3.600 th. Euro refers to a common bond loan with floating interest rate from Eurobank SA.. In the current period and in order the Company to secure its position against any negative effects from the COVID‐19 pandemic, issued a new bond loan of total amount of 6.000 th. €. Given the wide net liquidity available, the Group chooses long‐term borrowing, in exchange for the increase in working capital
The following table presents the sensitivity analysis of both the results of the period and the net equity to a change of the interest rate of +1% or ‐1%. The relevant influence is presented as follows:
The results of the period as well as the Net Equity of the Group and of the Company, in this case, would decrease by 139 th. € and 160 th. € on 01.01‐30.06.2020 and on 01.01‐30.06.2019 respectively.
The results of the period as well as the Net Equity of the Group and of the Company, in this case, would increase by 139 th. € and 160 th. € on 01.01‐30.06.2020 and on 01.01‐30.06.2019 respectively.
The Management of the Group monitors the course of interest rates and assumes all the necessary actions to smooth any negative effects. In addition, international organizations estimate that the ECB will maintain extremely low interest rates in the shot‐term (2‐4 years). In any case, the limited exposure of the Group to debt capital results to consider the risk of higher interest rates, as not material. In addition, cash and cash equivalents of the Group on 30.06.2020 exceed the total of the Group's borrowings by 29.154 th. €.
The Group has no significant credit risk, mainly because of the large dispersion of its customers. Retail sales are paid in cash or via credit cards whereas for wholesales the Group has all the necessary internal procedures according to which it gives credit, examining the creditworthiness of the customer, by each case separately. Furthermore, it is a policy of the Group, that the largest amount of receivables from customers is insured. The Company has divided its customer's
base to named and non‐named. The balances of the Public Sector are not insured. The Company and the Group form a provision for doubtful receivables, as stated in note 13 of the Half Year Financial Report.
The above‐mentioned bad debt provision includes:
a) a strictly defined provision for all the customers that have been characterized as doubtful
b) a specific provision for all the customers that have overdue balances based on the ageing of their balances
c) a provision, based on the increased level of risk because of the conditions of the economic environment, taking in consideration: 1) the reduced liquidity of Greek businesses and 2) the difficult access to bank financing.
It is noted that this provision includes also non‐overdue receivables. For this provision the balances of all the customers have been taken into account, with the exception of the receivables from Plaisio Computers JSC, as it is considered that there is no risk of non‐collection of these particular balances, given that PLAISIO COMPUTERS JSC is controlled 100% by the Parent Company. The debit balance of the Company Plaisio Computers JSC to the parent company Plaisio Computers SA on 30.06.2020 amounted to 265 th. €.
d) the Group has already moved to a provision for the balances from the Public Sector. It is noted that this provision, also includes non‐overdue balances.
On June 30th 2020 the total balance of customers and other trade receivables (not including the subsidiary) for the Group and the Company, was 21.347 th. € and 20.669 th. € while the provision for doubtful receivables was 2.221 th. € and 2.118 th. €. On 31.12.2019 the total balance of customers and other trade receivables, for the Group and the Company, was increased slightly to 23.338 th. € and 22.584 th. €, while the provision for doubtful receivables came up to 1.903 th. € and 1.812 th. € for the Group and the Company respectively. Therefore, the percentage of provisions in terms of receivables increased for the Group to 10,4% at the end of the first semester of 2020, compared to 8,2% at the end of the previous year. The relevant figures for the Company amounted to 10,2% and 8% on 30.06.2020 and 31.12.2019 respectively.
Management closely monitors the maturity of the balances of the customers and in combination with the effective policy it implements, about 90% of them are categorized in 0 ‐ 30 days. Especially for the first half of 2020, a relatively limited percentage of customers (less than 1/4 of them) who had presented payment checks, made use of the benefit of the 75‐day extension provided by the State. After the expiration of the deadline for suspension of checks, no insolvency was observed. A very small percentage of the checks, regarding specific business sectors are still extended and remains insured. As for the checks that did not use the benefit of the extension, no insolvency was observed.
In any case, the insurance of balances, in addition to the conservative policy regarding the provision for impairment, an approach that was temporarily strengthened during the first half of this year, due to the inclusion of any negative effects from the pandemic lead to the estimation that this particular risk is controlled and any negative consequences in the future are probably limited.
The Group takes all the necessary measures (insurance, safekeeping) so as to minimize the risk and contingent damages due to physical disasters, thefts etc. Furthermore, since the Group takes activity in a sector of high technology, where the risk of technical devaluation is significant, the Management reviews the net realizable value and forms the appropriate provisions so that their value in the financial statements coincides with the real one.
On 30.06.2020, the net inventory was 54.155 th. €, as from the 60.792 th. € (gross amount) a provision for devaluation amounting to 6.637 th. € was taken by the Group. The respective amounts for the Company were 52.903 th. €, 59.507 th. € and 6.605 th. €. The amount of net inventory, moved in a stable way, compared to the amounts of 53.371 th. € and 51.802 th. € in the end of 2019. The increase of 1,6% in inventory is lower than the one that it is traditionally observed due to the different seasonality.
In the period under examination, the provision of devaluation of inventory came up to 10,9% (almost the same) compared to 10,8% on 31.12.2019. The company estimates that due to the successful operation of the systems of the supply chain (logistics) of its operations it has not stored products beyond the usual levels and therefore does not run an increased risk of devaluation. Finally, based on the data available up to the date of conduction of the interim financial report, no significant change in the amount of stocks is expected.
Finally, the Company considers the suppliers' risk limited, and in any case non‐important for the financial results of the Group, since there is no significant dependence for the Group on any one of its suppliers by more than 10% of the total supplies, while supplies are distributed to a large number of legal entities All the above mentioned depict the standard policy of the Management for operational independency in relation to particular vendors, while during the following period no significant changes are expected concerning this risk also in the second half of this current financial year of 2020.
The foreign exchange risk is the risk of volatility of the value of financial assets and liabilities due to changes of exchange rates. The majority of the Group's transactions and balances are in Euro, but at the same time, the Group has deposits in foreign currency. Furthermore, there are no loan liabilities in a currency other than the Euro. The Group in certain cases, outweighs the foreign exchange risk, by conducting derivative contracts, without proceeding with hedge accounting for that matter.
The Management of the Group observes at all times the foreign currency risks that may arise and evaluates the need for relevant measures. Due to the fact that the purchase invoicing from many suppliers is expressed in US dollar terms, hedging is usual, which results in variations in the financial periods at the exchange rate results. The Group holds deposits of 3,3 million Euros and forward contracts worth 2,4 million dollars on 30.06.2020 The activity of the Group in Bulgaria is not considered to affect currency risk, as the exchange rate of the Bulgarian currency to the Euro is fixed.
Sales' seasonality demands rational working capital management and smooth inventory inflows in order to avoid any shortage and as a consequence the operating risk remains in low levels. The Group's sales are characterized by limited seasonality as 57% of the total sales are realized in the second half of the year. In the second semester of the year, the sales from the beginning of the school and academic year, the sales from Black Friday and the sales from the Christmas period are realized. Despite the seasonality, the Management estimates the referred risk as limited due to the wide liquidity and the ability to act immediately in cases of necessity of increased inventory and due to the retention of sufficient inventory for the needs of the Group.
The Company operates in an intensively competitive industry, as there are many retailers which operate in the consumer electronics sector. However, due to the multi‐product approach of the Group, it is not an easy exercise to identify an identical business model in the market. In addition, it is observed that companies with similar products with Plaisio to stop their operations, or if they are multinational, to end their operations in Greece, during the years of financial crisis. This happens, mainly, due to the intense competition, the suppressed profit margins and the limited liquidity which lead to increased finance cost. In such an environment, the Group achieves over time one of the best performance margins, and consistently shows profitability, facts that prove the success in the referred Market. However, the competition may change in the future with the entrance of new competitors in the market or with the
amendments of the strategy of the already existed competitors. Also, in periods when the consuming spend is stable or
decreasing, the competition can lead to redistribution of the market shares. The intensity of competition may negatively affect the turnover and the profitability of the Group.
The Group retains high level of cash and cash equivalents, which exceed significantly the total of its exposure to borrowing, while at the same time it has pre‐approved credit balances in order to minimize liquidity risk. The Group, is also highly estimated by the Greek banks and its vendors, because its 51‐year dynamic course in the Greek market.

The decrease in sales for the period 18/03/2020 ‐ 03/05/2020, during which the stores remained closed were 20% compared to the
corresponding period last year. Simultaneously, the positive impact of the support measures taken by the government was limited in relation to the size of the Group.

The expenses of the Group, including the financial expenses, decreased by 2,7% and ended up to 28.189 th. €, versus 28.958 th. € in the respective period of 2019 and are analyzed as follows:
Interim Financial Report for the period 01.01.20‐30.06.20
| Administrative Expenses: | 4.676 th. € |
|---|---|
| Distribution Expenses: | 22.434 th. € |
| Other Expenses/(Income): | 30 th. € |
| Net Financial Expenses: | 1.049 th. € |
| (Profits) from Associates: | 0 th. € |
The relevant figures for 01.01.2019 – 30.06.2019 were:
| Administrative Expenses: | 4.679 th. € |
|---|---|
| Distribution Expenses: | 24.788 th. € |
| Other Expenses/(Income): | (1.936) th. € |
| Net Financial Expenses: | 1.443 th. € |
| (Profits) from Associates: | (16) th. € |
In the first half year of 2020, the expenses were influenced by the fact that the stores remained closed for almost two months, a fact that altered the cost distribution and due to the extraordinary measures taken by the government. The financial expenses significantly decreased by 27,3% due to the achievement of lower interest rates.
Taking all the above into account, the Group's earnings before taxes increased to 501 th. €, compared to the 481 th. € in the respective period of 2019. Respectively, earnings after taxes ended up to 330 th. € from 178 th. € in the first semester of 2019, increased by 85,5%, due to the lower income tax rate. If we had applied last year's tax rate (28%), the increase in earnings after tax would be 26,0%.
The earnings per share, basic and diluted came up to 1,50 eurocents, than 0,81 eurocents in the relevant period of 2019.
As Alternative Performance Measure (APM) is considered, according to the definition of the European Capital Commission, a financial ratio which measures the historical or the future financial performance, financial position or cash flows, which is not defined by the IFRS. Even if APM are not included in IFRS, APM have to be evaluated supplementary with the figures provisioned by the IFRS and always in combination with the IFRS results.
The Group uses in a limited extent the Alternative Performance Measures during the publication of the financial performance with target the better understandability of the operating results of the Group and its financial position. Plaisio has as a general principle, the presentation of the examined performance measures to be clear, in order the measures to be suitable and useful for the decision making by the users of the financial statements.
A. Net Debt (Net Liquidity): Consist of an APM that is used in order to estimate the capital structure of the Group. It is calculated as the difference between the total debt (long‐term and short‐term) and the total of cash and cash equivalents. Net debt is an "APM" which is used by the Management for the evaluation of the capital structure of
the Group and the leverage ability. Net debt is calculated by adding to long‐term loans, the short‐term part and the short‐term bank loans minus the cash and cash equivalents (see table below). If the result of the aforementioned difference is negative (as in the case of Plaisio) indicates the liquidity of the Company exceeds its total liabilities.
| NET DEBT (LIQUIDITY) | THE GROUP | THE COMPANY | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30.06.2020 | 31.12.2019 | 30.06.2020 | 31.12.2019 | ||
| Total long‐term debt | 11.880 | 6.900 | 11.880 | 6.900 | |
| Total short‐term debt | 2.040 | 2.040 | 2.040 | 2.040 | |

| Net Debt (Liquidity) (A) ‐ (B) | (29.154) | (30.250) | (28.475) | (29.788) |
B. Earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation/amortisation – EBITDA: Constitutes the most used measure of operating effectiveness, because it considers only the expenses that are relative with the daily operation of the Group and the Company. EBITDA is the sum of the turnover with the other operating income minus the cost of sales and the total operating expenses before depreciation, amortisation and impairment as it is presented in the table below. EBITDA expressed as a percentage to sales is calculated by dividing EBITDA with the Turnover.

The Company informed the investing public on 30/07/2020, that according to the decision of its Board of Directors, signed a contract, for issuing a Common Bond Loan via private placement, according to the c.l. 4548/2018 and the c.l. 3156/2003, as they are in force today, of nominal value of € 6.000.000, with a duration of five (5) years. The Bond holder is National Bank of Greece. The empowered for the bank payments and the representative of the Bond holders was appointed the National Bank of Greece. The aim of the common Bond Loan, which bears no lien, is to meet the needs for working capital.
The Company informed the investing public on 30/07/2020, that in accordance with the provisions of article 1, paragraph 5 of the Presidential Decree 82/1996, as it is in force, that the company intends to participate in the electronic open public tender, which was announced with decision number 05/2020 of the Ministry of Education, Research and Religious Affairs for the "For the supply of portable electronic devices (tablets) for e‐learning", of budget of 12.103.250,00 Euro (including VAT) with a deadline for the submission, on August 14th 2020. The Company generally intends to participate, (either on its own or as a member of consortia or associations), within a year from today, in the undertaking of projects, services or procurements of the Public sector, public entities, local authorities or the legal entities of the broader public sector, and to all our shareholders‐anonymous companies, which may not have proceeded to the registration of their shares up to a physical person, in accordance with the P.D. 82/1996, the sanctions, in accordance with the provisions of article 2 par. 3 of P.D. 82/1996 will be implemented.
Τhere are no other events after the reporting period, of the Group or the Company, which have a significant effect on the financial position of the Group or the Company.
The health crisis of COVID‐19 interrupted the positive outlook that had formed in the Greek Economy at the beginning of the year. The basic macroeconomic figures of Greece changed for the worse, especially in the 2nd quarter, when the lockdown was decided, and the seasonal intensity of services related to tourism began. However, in the first semester of 2020, the Group's sales increased by 8%.
In particular, Plaisio took advantage of the pre‐existing organizational structure in home deliveries, thus increasing its share in the relevant Market, which in fact showed a strong upward trend. The Company achieved very fast distribution of products (approximately 2‐3 days on average) to customers, in a period when the deliveries/orders were multiple times more than those of the normal course of business.
At the same time, given that the Company achieves wide differentiation of its suppliers, both numerically and based on the country of establishment (Greece and China and secondarily other European countries, Turkey and USA) and taking into account the large recovery (> 80%) of the lines production in China already during the lock‐down in Greece, the supply of products and raw materials was affected only to a limited extent, while now it is almost unimpeded. Also, during the outbreak of the pandemic in China, the Company did not face significant product shortages due to its modern distribution center in Magoula and the new center in Mandra, which shields it to a large extent from any disruptions in supply in a possible next wave of the pandemic.
In addition, Plaisio has benefited and is likely to continue to benefit from the steady demand for its products due to the shift in consumer spending to electronic products (increased work‐from‐home) and the positive redistribution of preferences towards e‐commerce.
On the other hand, significant uncertainty still exists about the intensity and duration of the pandemic. In particular, a negative fluctuation, or the continuation of the increased cases in our country, may cause stricter measures, even a possible new lockdown.
In this case, the sales made in the stores will decrease, it cannot be calculated if this decrease will be compensated by a corresponding increase of the electronic sales, as happened in the first wave of the pandemic for the Group. In addition, delays in the production, or distribution, or the successful effect of vaccines on the suppression of the coronavirus is likely to cause less than the expected recovery, or even stagnation in the size of the Economy, re‐ insecurity in consumers, and eventual decline in demand of Plaisio products. Based on the above parameters and given that a significant part of the annual sales of the Group take place in specific periods of the second semester (beginning of the school year, "Black Friday" and Christmas period), its basic financial figures during that period may undergo significant fluctuations.

The Company and the Group does not believe these standards and interpretations will have a material impact on the financial statements once adopted.
The Group is exposed to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Group's financial performance. The main risks are the following:
The foreign exchange risk is the risk of volatility of the value of financial assets and liabilities due to changes of exchange rates. The majority of the Group's transactions and balances are in Euro, but at the same time, the Group has deposits in foreign currency. Furthermore, there are no loan liabilities in a currency other than the Euro. The Group in certain cases, outweighs the foreign exchange risk, by conducting derivative contracts, without proceeding with hedge accounting for that matter.
The Management of the Group observes at all times the foreign currency risks that may arise and evaluates the need for relevant measures. Since, the purchase invoicing from many suppliers is expressed in US dollar terms, hedging is usual, which results in variations in the financial periods at the exchange rate results. The Group holds deposits of 3,3 million Euros and forward contracts worth 2,4 million dollars on 30.06.2020 The activity of the Group in Bulgaria is not considered to affect currency risk, as the exchange rate of the Bulgarian currency to the Euro is fixed.
The Group analyses its interest rate exposure on a dynamic basis. Various scenarios are simulated taking into consideration refinancing, renewal of existing positions, alternative financing and hedging. Based on these scenarios, the Group calculates the impact on profit and loss of a defined interest rate shift.
The policy of the Company is to keep loans at a low level, assuring at the same time that there is a financing capability from the banks that Plaisio cooperates with that satisfies without a problem the planned development of the Group.
The long‐term total bond loans of the Company and of the Group, on June 30th, 2020, were 13.920 th. €, of which the long‐term loans were 11.880 th € (6.900 th. € on 31.12.2019), and the short term bond loan were 2.040 th. € (2.040 th. € on 31.12.2019). From the total bond loans, the 4.320 th. Euro refers to one common bond loans from NBG, while the 3.600 th. Euro refers to a common bond loan with floating interest rate from Eurobank SA.. In the current period and in order the Company to secure its position against any negative effects from the COVID‐19 pandemic, issued a new bond loan of total amount of 6.000 th. €. Given the exceptional net liquidity available, the Group chooses long‐term borrowing, in exchange for the increase in working capital.
The following table presents the sensitivity analysis of the results of the period as well as the net equity to a change of the interest rate of +1% or ‐1%. The relevant influence is presented as follows:
The results of the period as well as the Net Equity of the Group and of the Company, in this case, would decrease by 139 th. € and 160 th. € on 01.01‐30.06.2020 and 01.01‐30.06.2019 respectively.
The results of the period as well as the Net Equity of the Group and of the Company, in this case, would increase by 139 th. € and 160 th. € on 01.01‐30.06.2020 and 01.01‐30.06.2019 respectively.
The Management of the Group monitors the course of interest rates and assumes all the necessary actions to smooth any negative effects. It is noted that cash and cash equivalents of the Group exceed the total bank debt by 29.154 th. € on 30.06.2020.
Risk management is done at Group level. Retail sales are made in cash or by credit card, while regarding wholesale sales the Group, based on its internal operating principles, grants credit, examining the creditworthiness of customers on a case‐by‐case basis. In addition, according to the Group's fixed policy, most of the receivables.
On June 30th 2020 the total balance of customers and other trade receivables (not including the subsidiary) for the Group and the Company, was 21.347 th. € and 20.669 th. € while the provision for doubtful receivables was 2.221 th. € and 2.118 th. €. On 31.12.2019 the total balance of customers and other trade receivables, for the Group and the Company, was slightly increased to 23.338 th. € and 22.584 th. €, while the provision for doubtful receivables came up to 1.903 th. € and 1.812 th. € for the Group and the Company respectively. Therefore, the percentage of provisions in terms of receivables increased for the Group to 10,4% at the end of the first semester of 2020, compared to 8,2% at the end of the previous year. The relevant figures for the Company amounted to 10,2% and 8% on 30.06.2020 and 31.1.2.2020 respectively.
Management monitors closely the maturity of the balances of the customers and in combination with the effective policy it implements, about 90% of them are categorized in 0 ‐ 30 days. Especially for the first half of 2020, a relatively limited percentage of customers (less than 1/4 of them) who had presented payment checks, made use of the benefit of the 75‐day extension provided by the State. After the expiration of the deadline for suspension of checks, no insolvency was observed. A very small percentage of the checks, regarding specific business sectors, are still extended and remains insured. As for the checks that did not use the benefit of the extension, no insolvency was observed.
In any case, the insurance of the balances, in addition to the conservative policy regarding the provision for impairment, an approach that was temporarily strengthened during the first half of this year, due to the inclusion of any negative effects from the pandemic lead to the estimation that this particular risk is controlled and any negative consequences in the future are probably limited. Necessary provisions are calculated in relation with historical data combined with estimates for expected credit losses will lead to a reduction in the bad‐debt provision.
The Group takes all the necessary measures (insurance, safekeeping) so as to minimize the risk and contingent damages due to physical disasters, thefts etc. Furthermore, since the Group takes activity in a sector of high technology, where the risk of technical devaluation is extremely increased, the Management reviews the net realizable value and forms the appropriate provisions so that their value in the financial statements coincides with the real one.
On 30.06.2020, the net inventory was 54.155 th. €, as from the 60.792 th. € (gross amount) a provision for devaluation amounting to 6.637 th. € was formed by the Group. The respective amounts for the Company were 52.903 th. €, 59.507 th. € and 6.605 th. €. The amount of net inventory, moved in a stable way, compared to the amounts of 53.371 th. € and 51.802 th. € in the end of 2019. The increase of 1,6% in inventory is lower than the one that it is traditionally observed due to the different seasonality.
In the period under examination, the provision of devaluation of inventory came up to 10,9% (almost the same) compared to 10,8% on 31.12.2019. The company estimates that due to the successful operation of the systems of the supply chain (logistics) of its operations it has not stored products beyond the usual levels and therefore does not run an
increased risk of devaluation. Finally, based on the data available up to the date of conduction of the interim financial report, no significant change in the amount of stocks is expected.
Finally, the Company considers the suppliers' risk limited, and in any case non‐important for the financial results of the Group, since there is no significant dependence for the Group on any one of its suppliers by more than 10% of the total supplies, while supplies are distributed to a large number of legal entities All the above mentioned depict the standard policy of the Management for operational independency in relation to particular vendors, while during the following period no significant changes are expected concerning this risk also in the second half of this current financial year of 2020.
Sales' seasonality demands rational working capital management and smooth inventory inflows in order to avoid any shortage and as a consequence the operating risk remains in low levels. The Group's sales are characterized by limited seasonality as 57% of the total sales are realized in the second half of the year. In the second semester of the year, the sales from the beginning of the school and academic year, the sales from Black Friday and the sales from the Christmas period are realized. Despite the seasonality, the Management estimates the referred risk as limited due to the wide liquidity and the ability to act immediately in cases of necessity of increased inventory and due to the retention of sufficient inventory for the needs of the Group.
The Company operates in an intensively competitive industry, as there are many retailers which operate in the consumer electronics sector. However, due to the multi‐product approach of the Group, it is not an easy exercise to identify an identical business model in the market. In any case, the Group achieves over time one of the best performance margins, and consistently shows profitability, facts that prove the success in the referred Market. However, the competition may change in the future with the entrance of new competitors in the market or with the amendments of the strategy of the already existed competitors. Also, in periods when the consuming spend is stable or decreasing, the competition can lead to redistribution of the market shares. The intensity of competition may negatively affect the turnover and the profitability of the Group.

As part of the measures to support the Greek economy, Plaisio had the opportunity to pay reduced rents. The accounting for the reduction was done by the method of modification, i.e. its benefit, which is estimated at 668 th. € for the Group and 640 th. € for the Company is divided into the remaining years of the lease while the present value of the liability was recalculated using the updated interest rate as provided by the IFRS. The positive impact on the Group's results for the first half of 2020 from the above rent reductions, is estimated at about 60 th. Euro.
