Report on the audit of the company and consolidated financial statements

Opinion

In our opinion, the attached company and consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company and of its subsidiaries (the Group) as at 31st December 2018, their financial performance and cash flows for the fiscal year then ended, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as these have been adopted by the European Union.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing (ISA), as these have been incorporated in Greek Legislation. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the paragraph of our report "Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the company and consolidated financial statements". We are independent of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries throughout the duration of our appointment in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, as this has been incorporated in Greek Legislation and the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the company and consolidated financial statements in Greece and we have fulfilled our ethical obligations in accordance with the requirements of the applicable legislation and of the aforementioned Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters which, in our professional judgment, were of the highest significance in our audit on the company and consolidated financial statements in Greece of the current fiscal year. These matters and the related risks of material misstatement were treated in the context of the audit of the company and consolidated financial statements as a whole for the purpose of forming our opinion thereon and we do not express a separate opinion on these matters.

Recoverability of trade receivables

On 31.12.2018, the trade receivables of the Group and of the Company amount to € 7.26 m. and to € 7.36 m. respectively, while the relevant accumulated impairment, as stated in note 10.9 of the financial Statements, amounts to € 1.28 m. and € 0.98 m. respectively for the Group and the Company.

Management evaluates the recoverability of trade receivables of the Group and the Company at the end of each reference period, in order for them to be depicted in their recoverable amount, acknowledging the required credit losses . This process includes important judgments and evaluations in relation to the correct application of IFRS 9 "Financial instruments", which was adopted by the Group on 1.01.2018 through the cumulative effect method.

Given the significance of the value of trade recivables and the degree of judgment and of assessments that were required by the management, we consider this to be one of the most significant audit matters.

The notifications by the Company and the Group in relation to the recognition of impairments of the trade receivables are included in notes 6.3, 7.8, 7.10 and 10.9 of the attached financial statements.

Key audit matter How the key audit matter was addressed in our audit

Our audit procedures regarding the evaluation of the recoverability of the trade receivables included, among others:

  • Understanding and examining the credit control procedures of the Group as well as the examination of the basic safeguards in relation to granting credit to clients.
  • Evaluating the assumptions and of the methodology used by the management to determine the recoverability of the trade receivables or to name them as doubtful.
  • Reviewing the response letters of the legal counsel about doubtful receivables they handled during the year and identifying any matters that point to balances from trade receivables that are not recoverable in the future.
  • Examining the coming-to-age of the rest of the trade receivables at the end of the fiscal year and identifying any debtors in financial difficulty.
  • Evaluating the recoverability of the remainders comparing the amount at the end of the fisal year to subsequent receivables / settlements.
  • The evaluation of the effects from the adopation of IFRS 9 in the ending fiscal year, which led to η οποία οδήγησε a corresponding adjustment of the Company's and the Group's accounting policies to address impairment losses on trade receivables.

Evaluating the adequacy of the notifications of the Company and of the Group in the attached financial statements, in relation to the above matter.

Valuation of inventories

On 31.12.2018 the Group and the Company have

inventories amounting to € 19.69 m. and € 18.56 m. respectively.

Inventories are valued at the lowest price between the acquisition cost and net realizable value.

The provision for the impairment of the value of the inventories is formulated on the basis of assessments by the management as to the actual condition and the possibility to use the inventories, if deemed necessary.

We consider that the assessment of the valuation of the inventories of the Group is one of the most significant audit matters as inventories are one of the largest assets of the Company and of the Group.

The notifications by the Company and the Group as regards their accounting policy and the assessments and assumptions used in the assessment of the valuation of the inventories, are included in notes 7.9 and 10.8 of the attached financial statements.

Our audit approach included in relation to the valuation of inventories of the Group included among others the following procedures:

  • Evaluating the assessment of the design and application of the basic safeguards for the management of inventories in the course of following the natural stocktaking at specific warehouses and the conduct of sample counting of inventories.
  • Examining a sample of inventories in order to confirm the correct calculation of the acquisition cost, according to the purchase invoices and the correct allocation of the production expenses.
  • Evaluating the assessment of the valuation by comparing the net realizable value of the inventories at the reference date with the inventories' acquisition cost.
  • Checking the warehouse balance to trace immovable and slowly movable inventories.
  • Evaluating the adequacy of the of the notifications of the Company and of the Group in the attached financial statements, in relation to the above matter.

Company acquisition

The value of the transaction amounted to € 14 m. and from which negative goodwill of € 4.36 m. was acknowledged as a profit in the income statement.

In accordance with IFRS 3 "Business Combinations", the acquirer measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at their fair value at the acquisition date, with some exceptions permitted under this standard.

The measurements mentioned in the previous paragraph require the use of complex valuation techniques, assumptions and estimates.

The Company's disclosures about its accounting policy and judgments and estimates used in the assessment of the acquisition of the subsidiary are included in notes 7.2, 10.4 and 10.5 of the financial statements.

Our audit approach included the following basic procedures:

  • Understanding and analyzing the valuation techniques used by the experts to determine fair values and compare them with generally accepted practices.
  • Assessment of the reasonable assumptions used, including discount rates, with the participation of specialists.
  • Confirmation of the correct accounting of the transaction and numerical calculation of the amounts recognized in the financial statements

Other information

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information which are included in the Annual Financial Report, are the Board of Directors' Management Report, reference to which is made in the "Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements" and the Representations of the Members of the Board of Directors, however, they do not include the financial statements and the audit report on such.

Our opinion on the company and consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and by this opinion we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit on the company and consolidated financial results, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, to examine if the other information is materially inconsistent with the company and consolidated financial results or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appear to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of management and those who are in charge of governance for the company and consolidated financial results

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the company and consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS, as these have been adopted by the European Union, as well as for those internal audit safeguards, which the management determines as necessary, so as to render possible the preparation of company and consolidated financial results free of material misstatement, due either to fraud or to error.

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

The Audit Committee (art. 44 L.4449/2017) of the Company is charged with overseeing the Company's and the Group's financial reporting process.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the company and consolidated financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance as to the extent to which the company and consolidated financial statements, on the whole, are free of material misstatement, due either to fraud or to error, and to issue an auditor's report, which includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level assurance, however, it is not a guarantee that the audit conducted in accordance with the ISAs, as such have been incorporated in the Greek Legislation, always detects a material misstatement, when such exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are deemed as material when, individually or in aggregate, could reasonably be expected to influence the financial decisions of the users, which are taken on the basis of those company and consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit, in accordance with the ISAs, as such have been incorporated in the Greek Legislation, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. Furthermore we:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement in the company and consolidated financial statements, due either to fraud or to error, by designing and conducting audit procedures responsive to those risks and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide the basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than that due to error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or circumvention of internal audit safeguards.
  • Understand the internal audit safeguards that are related to the audit, in order to design audit procedures that are suitable to the circumstances, not, however, for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's and of the Group's internal audit safeguards.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of the accounting principles and methods that have been used and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates and relevant disclosures that have been made by the management.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of the use by the management of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained as to whether there is material uncertainty in relation to events or circumstances that could imply material uncertainty as to the Company's and the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that there is material uncertainty, we are obligated to draw attention in our auditors' report to the related disclosures in the company and consolidated financial statements and if these statements are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on audit evidence obtained up to the date of the auditor's report. Nevertheless, future events or circumstances may cause the Company and the Group to cease to operate as going concern.
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the company and consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, as well as to what extent the company and consolidated financial statements depict the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
  • Collect sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group in order to express an opinion on these company and consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of the Company and of its subsidiaries. We remain exclusively responsible for our audit opinion.

Among other matters, we notify those who are in charge of governance about the planned scope and timeline of the audit, as well as about significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in the internal audit safeguards that we identify during our audit.

In addition, we state to those charged with governance that we have complied with the relevant ethical requirements regarding independence and notify to them all the relationships and other matters that could reasonably be considered to bear on our independence and, where applicable, the relevant safeguards.

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

C. 2020 PROSPECTS AND ANTICIPATED DEVELOPMENT

MARBLE SECTOR

The outbreak of the new coronavirus (COVID-19), which was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020, has affected business and economic activity around the world, including in countries where the company operates. On 13.03.2020, the Greek Government issued its decision to

impose a temporary suspension of the operation of a series of stores and other activities, but without affecting the operation of the company.

The company has taken all appropriate measures for the protection and prevention from the coronavirus and the prevention and control of its spread, with the aim of protecting employees and safeguarding public health in general. The measures taken are in accordance with the guidelines and recommendations of the National Public Health Organization (NPHO), the General Secretariat for Civil Protection (GSCP) and the World Health Organization (WHO).

The company did not make any redundancies, nor did it put staff on a temporary availability or reduce working hours. All employees worked normally, either by working remotely from home or by office presence. Technical staff whο belong to vulnerable groups, were granted a special purpose leave.

For such a highly exported product, such as the Greek marble, the impact of the global crisis is a source of risk, and is expected to affect the turnover of 2020. China is no longer at the heart of the pandemic as it was in the first quarter of 2020; however, this does not mean that business in the country is running smoothly as factories are recovering at the moment. The company had a 24% turnover increase for the first 45 days of 2020. But since the spread of COVID-19 there has been a 40% drop in turnover, resulting in a 22% turnover decline in the first quarter of 2020. It is noted that 96% of the sales of IKTINOS HELLAS SA is directed to overseas markets, while over 50% of exports is directed to China. The US, the Arab Gulf countries and Europe also have a significant share of the company's exports. Consequently, the movement of the pandemic to these countries is changing the situation for the company, presently for an unknown period.

The recovery of the market will be gradual and the first months of operation after the lift of the restrictive measures, will show reduced sales compared to the corresponding months of previous years. Recovery is expected in the second half of 2020.

The Company's Management constantly evaluates the situation and the possible effects, and takes all necessary measures to maintain the viability of the Company and its subsidiaries and minimize the impact on their activities in the current business and economic environment. In any case, there are no concerns regarding the continuation of the activities of the Company and the Group. The company currently has the cash and appropriate financial instruments - financing flows from the banking system and is able to maintain jobs and cope with the global crisis.

The environment at the moment does not allow us to make particularly secure predictions about the future as it is unknown when the situation will return to normal pace.

The Group's Management is optimistic about the development of sales as things look quite encouraging judging from the commercial agreements that are being negotiated and from those that have already been concluded and are in the process of implementation.

AEOLIAN ENERGY SECTOR

The Group is active in the sector of the aeolian energy via the subsidiary company IDEH SA, which is managing the operation of an aeolian park of a power of 22 MW, which is located at "Megalovouni'' of the Nikiforos Municipality of the Drama Prefecture.

In the context of its program for a dynamic presence in the Renewable Energy Sources, the group has planned the development of new aeolian parks, over a time perspective to be determined depending on the market conditions. The development of these new projects has already been put to course and already production licenses for aeolian parks of a total power of 55 MW have been acquired.

REAL ESTATE SECTOR

The Group's activities in the sector of Real Estate via the related IKTINOS TECHNIKI & TOURISTIKI S.A. are on course towards their implementation. A result of this will be the future increase of the value of properties and the proportional improvement of the results of the Group's investment activity. The company is looking for an investor to implement the business plan, as it is also preparing a feasibility study for the investment.

Finally, in the context of improving the entire network infrastructure, the company proceeded to replace its network with new modern equipment based on the use of fiber optics.

The company is fully compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), given the application of the EU Regulation.

Innovation

The company has introduced new technologies that reduce operating costs, production costs and increase productivity in both quality and quantity. New technologies concern a new way of mining and more specifically, the underground mining which enables the extraction from the heart of the deposit, achieving better quality, more quantity with lower cost of resources. The new method is more environmentally friendly as it does not alter the mountain's morphology and does not require extensive restoration. The company also installed new state-of-the-art mechanical equipment at the new plant in Drama. The installation of the new mechanical equipment increases the production capacity and reduces production costs.

Also, the company in recent years has applied a very innovative technological method to save defective marbles.

Defective bulk marbles are glued with resins and in this way they are saved whereas under normal conditions they would break and end up in the waste. In this way, the marble can be cut into slabs without any damage or loss.

Also, a barcode system was applied to all our products along with a new system for registering and taking photographs of the products in the company's cloud so that they are immediately accessible to anyone interested (sellers - customers).

D. DESCRIPTION OF THE MAIN RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2018

The Group and the Company are exposed to financial and other risks. The general risk management program of the Group aims at minimizing their potential negative impact on the financial performance of the Group.

The basic risk management policies are formulated by the Group Management. The Finance Direction monitors and handles the risks to which the Group is exposed, determines, assesses and, where necessary, counterbalances the financial risks, in collaboration with the departments facing those risks. Furthermore, it does not conduct transactions for profit, which are not related to the commercial, investment or loan-taking activities of the Group. More specifically as regards those risks, we not e the following:

1. Foreign Exchange Risk

The Group's operating currency is the Euro. The Group conducts the largest part of its transactions in Euro, which leads to the immediate foreign exchange risk being limited. Nevertheless it also conducts commercial transactions at an international level, outside the Euro, and therefore it is exposed to zero foreign exchange risk, coming mainly from the US Dollar. Those transactions relate to a minimum part of the activities and therefore the foreign exchange risk is very limited.

2. Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of potential delayed payment to the group of the counter-contracting parties' current and potential obligations. The Group's exposure to credit risk comes mainly from the cash and cash equivalents, the trade and other receivables. The Group does not have a significant concentration of credit risk with some of the parties it has contracted with, mainly due to the large spread of its customer basis. The Group's wholesales are made on the basis of its internal operation principles, which ensure that the sales of goods and services take place to customers with financial credibility. Furthermore, a substantial part of the receivables from the Group's customers are insured.

3. Cash flow Risk

Prudent administration of the cash flow risk presupposes sufficiency of cash and the existence of the necessary finance available resources. The Group manages the cash flow needs on a daily basis, through following the short-term and long-term financial obligations, as well as through the daily following of the payments conducted. At the same time, the Group continuously monitors the maturity both of the receivables, as well as of the payables, with the objective to maintain a balance between continuity of funds and flexibility, via its bank credit ability.

The cash flow needs are determined for a 6-months period and redefined on a monthly basis. The cash flow needs are followed on a weekly basis.

In periods of non-sufficient cash, the company is able to finance its needs in cash through borrowing from banks from approved limits it maintains with them.

4. Borrowing – Risk of fluctuating Interest Rates

The Group monitors and manages its borrowing, by proceeding to a combined use of short-term and long-term borrowing. There exist approved credit limits and satisfactory terms of cooperation and of the invoicing of the various banking operations, which help in cutting down the Group's financial cost. The Group's policy is to maintain the largest part of its loans in Euro with variable interest rate and a potential increase of the Euribor would mean an additional financial burden.

5. Inventories-suppliers Risk

The Group takes all necessary measures (insurance, security) to minimize the risk and the potential damages due to the loss of inventories as a result of natural disasters, thefts, etc. The Management constantly reassesses the net liquidation value of the inventories and proceeds to the appropriate impairments.

In addition, the Company considers that dependency on suppliers is very limited and in any case insignificant for the Group's financial scales, as there is no significant dependency on given suppliers, none of which supplies the Company with products at a percentage over 10% of its total purchases.

6. Dependency on Customers

The Group's customer basis shows great spread and there is no risk of dependency on big customers.

The Group aims at satisfying an ever larger crowd of customers, on one hand, by increasing the spectrum of products it offers, and, on the other hand, by pursuing the immediate fulfillment of their needs.

6. Framework of preparation of financial statements

6.1 General framework of preparation

The consolidated financial statements of IKTINOS HELLAS S.A. have been prepared on the basis of the principle the going concern and are in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) that have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), as well as with their Interpretations, which have been issued by the Standards Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) and have been adopted by the European Union until 31/12/2019. The company and consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the historical cost principle, as this is amended by the readjustment of plots and buildings and of financial receivables and payables at reasonable values through the result.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) requires the use of accounting estimates. It also requires the judgment of the management in applying the accounting principles of the group. Cases involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or cases where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements, are included in note 6.3.

The accounting principles on the basis of which the financial statements were prepared, are consistent to those used for preparing the annual financial statements of the Group for fiscal year 2018 and have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, safe for those described in paragraph 6.2.

6.2.1 Amendments to Accounting Policies

The following amendments and Interpretations of the IFRS have been issues by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), been adopted by the European Union and their application is obligatory since 01/01/2019 or subsequently.

IFRS 16 "Leases" (applicable for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2019)

In January 2016, IASB launched a new model, IFRS 16. The purpose of the IASB project was to develop a new lease standard that sets out the principles applied by both parties to a contract - the customer ("the lessee") and the supplier ("the lessor") - to provide relevant information on leases in a way that accurately depicts these transactions. To achieve this, the lessee must recognize the assets and liabilities arising from the lease. The Group examined the impact of the new standard on the consolidated and corporate Financial Statements. A detailed report on this is presented in Note 6.2.3.

IFRIC 23 "Uncertainty regarding Income Tax Operations" (applicable for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2019)

In June 2017, the IASB issued a new Interpretation of IFRIC 23. IAS 12 "Income Taxes" identifies the accounting treatment of current and deferred tax, but does not specify how its implications should be reflected. uncertainty. IFRIC 23 includes the additional requirements of IAS 12, defining the manner in which the effects of uncertainty on the accounting treatment of income taxes should be reflected. The new Interpretation has no effect on the consolidated and corporate Financial Statements.

Amendments to IFRS 9 "Prepaid Assets with Negative Return" (applicable to annual periods beginning on or after 01/01/2019)

In October 2017, the IASB issued amendments of limited purpose to IFRS 9. Based on the existing requirements of IFRS 9, an entity would measure a financial asset with negative return on fair value through profit-loss, as its " negative return" could be considered as generating potential cash flows that do not only consist of capital and interest payments. Under the amendments, entities may measure specific prepaid financial assets with a negative return on amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income, provided that a specific condition is met. The amendments do not affect the consolidated and corporate Financial Statements.

Amendments to IAS 28 "Long-term Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures" (applies to annual periods beginning on or after 01/01/2019

In October 2017, the IASB issued amendments of limited purpose to IAS 28. The purpose of these amendments is to provide clarifications on the accounting treatment of long-term participations in a associate or joint venture - to which the equity method does not apply - based on IFRS 9. The amendments do not affect the consolidated and corporate Financial Statements.

Annual Improvements to IFRSs – Years 2015-2017 (applies to annual periods beginning on or after 01/01/2019)

In December 2017, the IASB issued the "Annual Improvements to IFRSs - Cycle 2015-2017", which consists of a series of amendments to some Standards and is part of the program for annual improvements to IFRS. The amendments included in this cycle are as follows: IFRS 3 - IFRS 11: Interests previously held by the acquirer in a joint venture, IAS 12: Effect on income tax on payments for financial instruments classified as equity, IAS 23: Borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The amendments do not affect the consolidated and corporate Financial Statements.

Amendments to IAS 19 "Amendment, curtailment or Settlement of a Defined Benefit Plan" (applied to annual periods beginning on or after 01/01/2019)

In February 2018, the IASB issued limited-purpose amendments to IAS 19, under which an entity is required to use updated actuarial assumptions when determining the current service cost and net interest for the remaining period after the amendment, curtailment or settlement of a defined benefit plan. The purpose of these amendments is to enhance the understanding of the financial statements and to provide more useful information to those users. The amendments do not affect the consolidated and corporate Financial Statements.

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

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

Revision of the Financial Reporting Conceptual Framework (applies to annual periods beginning on or after 01/01/2020)

In March 2018, the IASB revised the Financial Reporting Conceptual Franework, the purpose of which was to incorporate important issues that were not covered, as well as updating and providing clarification in relation to specific guidance. The revised Financial Reporting Conceptual Framework contains a new chapter about Measurement, which analyzes the measurement concept, including factors to be taken into account when choosing a measurement basis, issues relating to presentation and disclosure in the Financial Statements and guidance regarding the derecognition of assets and liabilities from the Financial Statements. Furthermore, the revised Financial Conceptual Framework includes improved definitions of assets and liabilities, guidance to assist in the application of these definitions, updated criteria for the recognition of assets and liabilities, as well as clarification of significant areas such as management roles, conservatism and uncertainty when measuring financial information. The Group will examine the impact of all of the above in its Financial Statements. These have not been adopted by the European Union.

Amendments to the References of the Financial Reporting Conceptual Framework (applies to annual periods beginning on or after 01/01/2020)

In March 2018, the IASB issued Amendments to the References of the Financial Reporting Conceptual Framework as a follow-up to its revision. Some Standards include explicit references to earlier versions of the Financial Reporting Conceptual Framework. The purpose of these amendments is to update these references and support the transition to the revised Financial Reporting Conceptual Framework. The Group will examine the impact of all of the above in its Financial Statements. These have not been adopted by the European Union.

Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 "Definition of Material" (applies to annual periods beginning on or after 01/01/2020)

In October 2018, the IASB made amendments to the definition of material, in order to make it easier for companies to make judgments about the material size. The definition of material helps companies to decide what information should be included in their Financial Statements. The new definition amends IAS 1 and IAS 8. The amendments clarify the definition of material and how it should be applied by including guidance in the definition that has been included in other Standards so far. The Group will

examine the impact of all of the above in its Financial Statements, although they are not expected to have any. These have not been adopted by the European Union.

Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7: "Interest Rate Reference Point Reform" (applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 01/01/2020)

In September 2019, the IASB issued amendments to certain requirements for specific accounting payments, in order to offset any potential consequences of the uncertainty arising from the reform of the Interest Rate Point. The amendments were designed to support the provision of useful financial information by companies during the period of uncertainty, which results from the gradual abolition of interest rates, such as interbank interest rates. In addition, companies are required to provide additional information to investors regarding the compensation relations that are directly affected by these uncertainty conditions. The Group will consider the impact of all of the above on its Financial Statements, although they are not expected to have any. The above have been adopted by the European Union with a date of entry into force on 01/01/2020.

Amendments to IFRS 3 "Definition of a Business" (applies to annual periods beginning on or after 01/01/2020)

In October 2018, the IASB issued limited-purpose amendments to IFRS 3 to improve the definition of a business. The changes will help companies determine whether an acquisition is a business combination or asset acquisition. The amended definition indicates that the outflow of a business is to provide goods and services to customers, while the previous definition focused on returns in the form of dividends, lower costs or other economic benefits to investors and third parties. In addition to amending the definition of the business, the IASB provides additional guidance through this issue. The Group will examine the impact of all of the above in its Financial Statements, although they are not expected to have any. The above have been adopted by the European Union with a date of entry into force on 01/01/2020.

IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 01/01/2021)

In May 2017, the IASB issued a new Standard, IFRS 17, replacing interim Standard IFRS 4. The IASB's purpose was to develop a single principle-based standard for the accounting treatment of all types of insurance contracts, including reinsurance contracts held by an insurer. A single principle-based standard will enhance the comparability of the financial reporting between economic entities, jurisdictions and capital markets. IFRS 17 specifies the requirements that an entity should apply to financial reporting that is related to insurance contracts it issues and reinsurance contracts it holds. The Group will examine the impact of all of the above in its Financial Statements, although they are not expected to have any. These have not been adopted by the European Union.

Amendments to IAS 1 "Classification of Obligations as Short-Term or Long-Term" (applicable for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2022)

In January 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 that affect the requirements for the presentation of obligations. In particular, the amendments clarify one of the criteria for classifying an obligation as long-term, the requirement for an entity to have the right to postpone the settlement of the obligation for at least 12 months after the reporting period. Modifications include:

(a) clarifying that an entity's right to defer settlement should be available on the reporting date, (b) clarifying that the classification of the obligation is not affected by the administration's intentions or expectations regarding the exercise of the right to defer settlement (c) explain how lending conditions affect classification, and (d) clarify the requirements for classifying the obligations of an entity to be or possibly settle through the issuance of equity securities. The Group will consider the impact of all of the above on its Financial Statements, although they are not expected to have any. The above have not been adopted by the European Union.

6.2.3 Effect on Financial Statements of 31/12/2019 from the application of IFRS 16 "Leases" and New Accounting Policy for leases

a) First application of IFRS 16 on 01/01/2019

As a result of the changes in accounting policies, as described above, the Group and the Company on January 1, 2019 adopted IFRS 16, applying the modified retroactive approach. Based on this approach, the Group recognized an obligation which it measured at its present value, as it results from the outstanding rental surplus with the additional incremental borrowing cost that was valid at the date of the initial application of the Standard that is, on 01/01/2019.

Furthermore, it recognized a right to use a fixed asset by assigning this right to an amount equal to the corresponding liability recognized, adapted to any advance payments that existed immediately before the date of initial application. The comparative information was not reprinted, and there was no effect of the application of the new Standard on the balance of retained earnings during its first application, that is on 01/01/2019.

Furthermore, the Group applied the exception provided by the Standard regarding the determination of leases and more specifically, the applicable practice of IFRS 16, according to which it does not need to re-evaluate whether an arrangement is or contains a lease on the date of the first transfer. This means

that IFRS 16 was applied to contracts that have already been recognized as leases by applying IAS 17 "Leases" and IFRIC 4 "Determining whether an arrangement Contains Lease".

Finally, the Group used the exceptions of the Standard regarding short-term leases and low-value fixed leases. With regard to the discount rate, the Group decided to apply a single discount rate to each category of leases with similar characteristics.

The adoption of IFRS 16 had the following significant results for the Group:

A) Leases previously classified as operational:

  • The Group had operational leases related to land, buildings and means of transport. The Standard affected the accounting treatment of the Group's operating leases. In particular, when adopting IFRS 16, liabilities arising from operating lease agreements - which, according to IAS 17, had to be disclosed in the financial statements - appear as assets (rights of use) and lease obligations. in the financial position. The increase in lease obligations led to a corresponding increase in the Group's net borrowing.

  • The nature of the costs associated with these leases has changed, as the application of IFRS 16 replaces the operating costs of rent with depreciation costs for assets related to the right of use and interest on the resulting liabilities.

  • In the statement of equity during the first application, there was no effect, as the Group chose to recognize an equal obligation with the right to use.

  • In the statement of cash flows, the part related to the repayment of rents will reduce cash flows from financial activities and is no longer included in net cash flows from operating activities. Only interest payments are still included in net cash flows from operating activities.

B) Leases previously classified as financial:

The Group did not change the pre-existing accounting values of the tangible fixed assets and liabilities from financial leases on the date of initial application of IFRS 16 for leases classified as financial (the rights to use fixed assets and liabilities under leases are equal to rents. IAS 17). The requirements of IFRS 16 have been applied to these leases since 1 January 2019.

IFRS 16 has not brought significant changes in the accounting of leases on the part of the lessor, and for this reason, there were not any significant changes from the leases that the Group has concluded and operates as a lessor.

The effect (increase / (decrease)) from the application of IFRS 16 on 1/1/2019 was as follows:

1/1/2019
The Group
1/1/2019
The Company
Tangible fixed assets
Rights to use Lands and Buildings 206,861 146,159
Rights to use means of transport 306,855 213,002
Total of non current assets 513,716 359,160
TOTAL ASSETS 513,716 359,160
Liabilities from leases 253,151 149,905
Total short-term liabilities 253,151 149,905
Liabilities from leases 260,564 209,255
Total long-term liabilities 260,564 209,255
TOTAL LIABILITIES 513,716 359,160

The Group has not had an impact on equity since the initial application of IFRS 16.

b) Recognition of leases in the financial statements of 31/12/2019

After the initial recognition, the Group measures the usage rights and depreciates them at a constant rate throughout the lease. Respectively, the Group measures the above liabilities from leases and fluctuates them based on the recognition of the relevant interest and rent payments.

6.2.4 Effect on the Financial Statements of 31/12/2019 from the application of IFRS 6 Mineral Resources Exploration and Evaluation

The Group and the Company on January 1, 2019 adopted IFRS 6 " Exploration and Evaluation of Mineral Resources". Under the new policy, the Group recognizes as intangible assets the assets "Rights", expenses related to the exploration and evaluation of mineral resources - marble - from the moment of acquiring the legal right to explore a specific area until the date that it turns out that the extraction of these mineral resources is technically feasible and economically viable.

Expenditure on research and evaluation capitalized on such rights as expenditure related to test drilling, drilling, sampling, and more generally activities related to the assessment of technical feasibility and economic viability are only available for exploration and mining activities. The Group knows and already manages or is able to assess that there are significant chances of usable reserves.

The right to explore and evaluate mineral resources ceases to be classified as such, as it turns out that the extraction of mineral resources is technically feasible and economically viable. Until the time of reclassification they are considered for any impairment of their value and any resulting loss is recognized in the results of the period before the re-classification.

6.3 Significant accounting estimations and judgments of the Management

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) requires the use of judgements, estimates and assumptions from the Management which affect the disclosed balances of assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date of the financial statements. They affect also the contingencies disclosure of as at the balance sheet date of the financial statements and the amounts of income and expense relating to the reporting year. The actual results may differ from those estimated. The estimations and judgements are based on past experience and other factors, including also the expectation of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the specific circumstances, while they are constantly reevaluated with the use of all the information available.

The main estimates and assessments of the Management are the following:

Estimates when calculating the use value of CGU

The Group performs a measurement of impairment losses in investments in subsidiary and associate companies when there is an indication of impairment, in accordance with the provisions of IAS 36. In order to determine whether there are grounds for impairment, the calculation of the value in use and the fair value less cost of disposal is required for each Cash Generating Unit (CGU). The recoverable amounts of CGU are determined for the purposes of measuring impairment, based on the calculation of their value in use, which requires estimations. For the calculation of value in use, the cash flow projections are discounted at their present value with the use of a discount rate which reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the CGU. Cash flow projections are used for the calculation which are based on approved business plans by the Management. These business plans and the cash flow projections usually cover a five-year period. Cash flows for periods beyond budgeted projections, are extended based on the estimated growth rate. The main assumptions used for determining the recoverable value of the different CGU are mentioned in note 10.4 of the financial statements, where it is explained in detail.

Provision for Income Tax

The provision for income tax based on IAS 12 is calculated with the estimation of the taxes which will be paid to the tax authorities and include the current income tax, for each financial year and a provision for additional taxes which may arise from tax audits. In order to determine the provision of the Group for income taxes the above must be thoroughly understood. Although it is not possible to reliably predict the results of the tax audit, the companies of the Group have used statistical data from prior tax audits

of audited tax years, and have made a provision for the potential tax liabilities which may arise following a tax audit of the unaudited tax years.

In the event that the final taxable amounts which arise following the tax audits are different to the amounts initially recognized, these differences will affect the income tax and the provisions for deferred tax for the financial years for which the determination of tax difference took place.

Provision for expected credit losses from customer receivables

The simplified approach of IFRS 9 for the calculation of expected credit losses by which the provision for impairment is measured at an amount equal to the expected credit losses over the lifecycle of the receivables from customers. The Group and the Company makes provisions for doubtful debts in respect to specific customers when there is information or indications which indicate that the payment of the total respective liability or part of it is not probable.The Management of the Group reassesses the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful debts periodically, taking into account its credit policy and reports available by the Group's Legal Department, which arise based on the processing of historical experience and recent developments in cases handled by it. In addition, it evaluates the recoverability of trade receivables by reviewing also the maturity of customers' balances, their credit history and the settlement of outstanding balances related to subsequent to the reporting period.

Provision for personnel compensation

The amount of the provision for compensation of personnel is calculated using actuarial methods. The actuarial method requires the assessment of specific parameters such as discount rates, the rate of increase in the remuneration of personnel, the increase in the consumer price index and the expected remaining working life. The assumptions used contain a great amount of uncertainty and the Group's Management re-evaluates them on a constant basis.

Contingent assets and contingent liabilities

The Group is involved in legal actions and claims in its usual course of operation. The management believes that any settlements would not adversely affect the financial position of the Group on 31st December 2019 .However, the determination of the potential liabilities related to legal actions and claims is a complicated procedure which includes assessments regarding the potential consequences and interpretations regarding the laws and regulations. Changes in the assessments and interpretations are likely to lead to an increase or decrease of the potential liabilities of the Group in the future.

Estimation of useful life of depreciable assets

The management of the company reviews at each year end the useful life of depreciable assets. On 31st December 2019 the management of the company assesses that the useful lives represent the expected usefulness of the assets.

Impairment of fixed tangible assets

Fixed tangible assets are reviewed for impairment purposes when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. For the calculation of the value in use the Management assesses the future cash flows from the asset or the cash generating unit of future cash flows and chooses the appropriate discount rate to calculate the current value of future cash flows.

Measurement of the fair value of investment property

Estimates of investment property are supported by a valuation report carried out by an independent valuation firm, which determines the value of investment property by following the internationally recognized valuation methods on a case-by-case basis. The most appropriate indication of fair value is the current values in an active market for related leases as well as other contracts. If it is not possible to obtain such information, the value is determined through a range of reasonable estimates of fair values. In most cases, the Discounted Cash Flow Analysis Technique was considered the most appropriate. Cash flow swap models are based on reliable estimates of future cash flows arising from assumptions about achievable ratios relative to the market in question and international competitiveness using discount rates that reflect the current market estimate of the uncertainty of the amount and the timing of these cash flows. For the application of cash flow discounting techniques, assumptions that establish estimates for fair value determination are used and are related to: expected future income, completeness, vacant periods, construction costs, maintenance obligations, as well as appropriate discount rates. Further information on key assumptions is given in note 10.29.

Provisions for environmental recovery

The Group makes provision for its related obligations to restore the natural environment from the exploitation of quarries and wind farms, resulting from the applicable environmental legislation or from binding practices of the Group. This provision is discounted to present value and recognized in the cost of tangible assets. The discount rate to which the future liability is discounted is the pre-tax rate that reflects current market estimates for the time value of money. Further information in Notes 7.4 and 10.16.

7. Basic Accounting Principles

The accounting principles based on which the attached financial statements are drawn-up and which the Group systematically applies are the following:

7.1. Segment reporting

Business segment is a group of related assets and activities which provide products and services which are subject to different risks and returns that are different from those of other business segments. Geographical segment is a geographical area which provides products and services which are subject to risks and returns that are different from those of other areas.

The Group is mainly active in the operation of marble quarries (mining and trade of Marbles). Geographically the Group is active in Greece, the Euro Area and Other Countries.

7.2. Consolidation

Subsidiaries: Are all the companies which are managed and controlled, directly or indirectly, by another company (parent), either through the ownership of the majority of the shares of the company in which the investment was made, or through its dependence on the know-how provided to it by the Group. In other words, subsidiaries are entities on which parent companies exercise control. Iktinos Hellas acquires and exercise control though voting rights. The existence of any potential voting rights which are exercisable at the time the financial statements are drawn up, is taken into account in order to determine whether the parent company exercises control over the subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated (full consolidation) with the method of acquisition from the date that control is acquired over them and cease to be consolidated from the date that such control does not exist.

The acquisition of a subsidiary by the Group is accounted for by using the purchase method. The cost of acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair value of the assets transferred, the shares issued and the liabilities assumed at acquisition date, plus any costs directly linked to the transaction. The assets, liabilities and potential liabilities which are acquired in a business combination are measured at their fair values at the acquisition date irrespective of the proportionate share. The cost of acquisition above the fair value of the assets acquired, is recognized as goodwill. if the total cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the assets acquired, the difference is recognized immediately in the income statement.

Intercompany transactions, outstanding balances and non-realized profits from transactions between companies of the Group are eliminated. The non-realized losses are also eliminated, unless the transaction provides indications of impairment of the transferred asset. The accounting principles of the subsidiaries have been adjusted in order to be in conformity with the ones adopted by the Group.

Test for impairment of investment in subsidiaries(Company Financial Statements)

The participation of the parent company in the consolidated subsidiaries is valued at acquisition cost less accumulated impairment losses. At every reporting date, the Management assesses the existence or not of external and internal indicators of impairment of its investments on subsidiary companies. In the event that there are indications, the Company measures the impairment and determines the recoverable value for each Cash Generating Unit as the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. For the purposes of measuring impairment, the investments in subsidiaries are classified in the smallest group of assets which may generate independent cash flows to other assets or groups of assets of the Group (Cash Generating Units).

Impairment loss is recognized as the amount by which the carrying amount of a Cash Generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. For the determination of the value in use, the Management determines the future cash flows expected to be derived from each Cash Generating Unit determining an appropriate discount rate in order to calculate the current cash flow value. The assets used for the impairment test arise directly from the approved budget of the Management. Discount factors are determined separately for each Cash Generating Unit and reflect the respective risks which have been determined by the Management for each one of them.

Related companies/Associates: Are those entities over which the Group has significant influence but do not fulfil the conditions to be classified as subsidiaries or as joint venture. Investments in associates are initially recognized at cost and then valued using the equity method. At the end of each period, the cost of acquisition is increased by the Group's share in the associates' net assets change and is decreased by the dividends received from the associates.

As regards acquisition goodwill, it decreases the participation value by burdening the period's results, when its value decreases.

After the acquisition, the Group's share in the profit or loss of associates is recognized in the income statement, while the share of changes in reserves is recognized in equity. The accumulated changes affect the accounting value of the investments in associated companies. When the Group's share in the losses of an associate is equal or larger than the carrying amount of the investment, including any other doubtful debts, the Group does not recognize any further losses, unless it has guaranteed for liabilities or made payments on behalf of the associate or those that emerge from ownership.

Unrealized profits from transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated according to the Group's percentage ownership in the associates. Unrealized losses are eliminated, except if the transaction provides indications of impairment of the transferred asset.

7.3. Conversion of foreign currency

The consolidated financial statements are reported in Euro, which is the operating currency and the reporting currency of the parent Company and all of its subsidiaries. The "Operating" is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group operates and on the basis of which the items in the financial statements of the Group's companies are measured.

Transactions in foreign currencies are converted to the operating currency using the rates in effect at the date of the transactions.

Profits and losses from foreign exchange differences that result from the settlement of such transactions during the period and from the conversion of monetary items denominated in foreign currency using the rate in effect at the balance sheet date are recorded in the results. Foreign exchange differences from non-monetary items that are valued at their fair value are considered as part of their fair value and are thus treated similarly to fair value differences.

7.4. Tangible Assets

Fixed assets are reported in the financial statements at acquisition cost or deemed cost, as determined based on fair values as at the transition dates, less accumulated depreciations and any impairment suffered by the assets. The acquisition cost includes all the directly attributable expenses for the acquisition of the assets. After initial recognition the owner-occupied properties are valued at fair value and the excess is recorded in equity "Adjustment Differences", while the negative which is not set-off with the respective inventory is recorded in the income statement of the period.

Subsequent expenditure is added to the carrying value of the tangible fixed assets or is recorded as a separate fixed asset only if it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Group and their cost can be accurately and reliably measured. The repair and maintenance cost is recorded in the results when such is realized.

Depreciation of tangible fixed assets (other than land plots which are not depreciated) is calculated using the straight line method over their useful life, as follows:

Buildings 12 -
20 years
Mechanical equipment 6 -
10 years
Vehicles 5 -
7 years
Other equipment 3 -
5 years

The residual values and useful economic life of tangible fixed assets are subject to reassessment at each balance sheet date. When the accounting value of tangible fixed assets exceeds their recoverable amount, the difference (impairment) is immediately recorded as an expense in the income statement.

Upon sale of the tangible fixed assets, any difference between the proceeds and the accounting value are recorded as profit or loss in the income statement. Expenditure on repairs and maintenance is recorded as an expense in the period they occur.

Restoration Cost of Quarries-Aeolian Parks: The entities which are active in the mining and renewable sources of energy sector are subject to environmental restoration obligations. In accordance with IAS 16 "Property, Plant and Equipment", the cost at which an tangible asset is recognized, includes amongst other things also the initial evaluation of the cost of dismantling or restoring the specific item in the site. This obligation arises from the construction of the fixed asset, the formation of the surrounding environment and the mining activity of the company. The group has recognized a provision for the restoration of the quarries and wind farm areas (refilling works, planting of areas and other works) which has the following characteristics:

  1. It has been recognized as part of the cost of tangible assets (formations of quarries/wind farms) in accordance with IAS 16, and

  2. It has been recognized as an obligation, in accordance with IAS 37.

The total sum of the amount for the provision of restoration and the carrying value of the tangible assets (formation of site) is not in excess of the recoverable amount for the specific fixed assets. In the event that the total amount of the carrying values of the tangible assets and the provision for restoration exceeds the recoverable value, the excess amount is recognized in the income statement in the period they occur.

This specific provision for restoration is discounted at present values and is recognized at the cost of the tangible assets. The discount rate with which the future obligation is discounted is the interest rate before tax which reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money.

The provision for restoration is recognized in the income statement during the useful life of the tangible assets, through their depreciation. The estimated expenditure for restoration are reassessed at each Balance Sheet date, as to their adequacy and are accordingly adjusted by accordingly adjusting the respective provision.

On 12/31/2019, the restoration provision amounted in total for all the Queries to € 231,901 and € 35,081 for wind farms, while on 31/12/2018 it amounts to € 220,523 and 33,411 respectively.

7.5. Investments in Property

Investments in real estate are investments in all those properties held by the owner, either to lease rents or to increase their value (capital reinforcement) or both.

Investment property is initially measured at acquisition cost, including transaction costs. They are subsequently recognized at their fair value. Fair value is determined by independent valuers with sufficient experience of the location and nature of the investment property.

The fair value of an investment property is the price at which the property can be exchanged between informed and willing parties in a normal commercial transaction. Fair value excludes a price increased or decreased due to special terms or circumstances, such as unusual financing, sale with a lease, special consideration or concession made by anyone related to the sale.

Any profit (or loss) arising from an alteration in the fair value of the investment constitutes a result and is recognized in the comprehensive income for the year in which it arises.

A determinant of fair value is the current price in an active market for similar properties, at the same location and in the same situation. If there are no current prices for similar properties in an active market at the same location, then the following can be used:

  • Current prices of an active market for different properties, with corresponding adjustments to reflect differences.
  • Recent prices on less active markets with adjustments reflecting the differences in economic conditions relative to the date of the transaction.
  • Discounted cash flows from current lease agreements for similar properties, at the same location and in the same situation.

7.6. Intangible Assets

Intangible assets include the rights to use and exploit the Quarries and other Tangible Assets, research and development expenditure, as well as software licenses.

Right to Operate Quarries and Other Tangible Assets:

Include the Rights to lease Land, as well as the Mineral Resources Exploitation Rights. The Group initially recognizes them at acquisition cost or at their nominal value. Following initial recognition, the Group adopts the Accounting principle of reporting the cost model and reporting the intangible assets at their cost less the accumulated depreciation and every accumulated impairment loss.

Exploration and Evaluation of Mineral Resources Expenditure: IFRS 6 does not specify specific principles for recognizing and measuring the costs which are realized during the stage of exploration and evaluation of mineral resources. Consequently, it would be acceptable for the specific costs to be recognized either as assets and to be deleted when it is determined that they will not generate any economic benefits or to be directly recognized in the income statement when realized if the final result (exploitation of the quarry) is uncertain.

The group measures the expenditures which arise from exploration and evaluation at cost, recognizing them as assets, if it judges that they will generate future economic benefits. The group makes a deduction for the depreciation of expenses for research and development of quarries in accordance with the term of the license for their exploitation, which ranges from 15 to 25 years. Costs which regard the exploration and evaluation of mineral resources includes as a rule the following:

  • (a) the acquisition of the exploration right
  • (b) the topographical, geological, geochemical and geophysical studies,
  • (c) the soil-drilling test,
  • (d) the excavation in explored trenches/pits,
  • (e) sampling and

(f) the activities related to the assessment of the technical feasibility and financial viability of mining a mineral resource.

The group ensures that the assets which arise from exploration and evaluation are depreciated at the end of each period. If it is assessed that the specific costs will not generate future economic benefit then their total is recognized in the income statement of the period.

Software: Software licenses are valued at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight line method over their useful life, which ranges from 1 to 3 years.

7.7. Impairment of Assets

Assets with an indefinite useful life are not depreciated and are subject to an impairment review annually and when some events suggest that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Assets that are depreciated are subject to an impairment review when there is indication that their carrying value will not be recoverable. The recoverable value is the greater between the net sales value and the value in use. An impairment loss is recognized by the company when the accounting value of these assets (or the Cash Generating Unit) is greater than its recoverable amount.

Net sales value is the amount received from the sale of an asset at an arm's length transaction in which participating parties have full knowledge and participate voluntarily, after deducting any additional direct cost for the sale of the asset, while value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows that are expected to flow into the company from the use of the asset and from its disposal at the end of its estimated useful life.

7.8. Financial Instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized in the statement of financial position when and only when the Group becomes a party to the financial instrument. The Group ceases to recognize a financial asset when and only when the contractual rights to the cash flows of the financial asset expire

or when the financial asset is transferred and all the risks and rewards associated with this financial asset are substantially transferred. A financial liability is derecognised from the Statement of Financial Position when, and only when, it is repaid - that is, when the commitment set out in the contract is fulfilled, canceled or expired.

i) Financial assets

Initial recognition and subsequent measurement of financial assets

As of 1 January 2018, financial assets are classified at initial recognition as subsequently measured at amortized cost, at fair value through other comprehensive income or at fair value through profit or loss. The classification of financial assets at initial recognition is based on the contractual cash flows of the financial assets and the business model in which the financial asset is held.

With the exception of customer receivables, the Group initially assesses a financial asset at its fair value plus transaction costs in the case of a financial asset that is not measured at fair value through profit or loss. Receivables from customers are initially measured at transaction value as defined by IFRS 15.

In order to classify and measure a financial asset at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income, cash flows that are "exclusive capital and interest payments" on the outstanding capital balance must be created. This evaluation is known as the "SPPI" criterion and is done at the level of an individual financial instrument.

After initial recognition, financial assets are classified into three categories:

  • at amortized cost
  • at fair value through other comprehensive income
  • fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets classified at amortized cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest method (EIR) and are subject to impairment testing. Profits and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the asset ceases to be recognized, modified or impaired.

For investments that are traded on an active market, fair value is calculated based on market bid prices. For investments for which there is no active market, fair value is determined by valuation techniques unless the range of rational estimates of fair value is significant and the probabilities of the various estimates cannot reasonably be assessed, so that these investments cannot be valued at fair value.

The purchase or sale of financial assets that require the delivery of assets within a timeframe defined by a regulation or sale acceptance is recognized at the settlement date (i.e. the date when the asset is transferred or delivered to the Group or the Company).

Trade receivables

Trade receivables are remainders due from customers for the sale of goods or the provision of services to them from the normal activity of the Group. Receivables from customers are initially recorded at transaction value as defined by IFRS 15 and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Impairment of financial assets

The Group and the Company assess at each reporting date whether the value of a financial asset or group of financial assets has been impaired as follows:

The Group and the Company recognize a provision for impairment against expected credit losses for all financial assets that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss. Expected credit losses are based on the difference between all contractual cash flows that are payable under the contract and all cash flows that the Group or the Company expects to receive discounted at the approximate original effective interest rate.

For the implementation of this approach, a distinction is made between:

• financial assets whose credit risk has not deteriorated significantly since initial recognition or which have a low credit risk at the reporting date (Stage 1) and for which the expected credit loss is recognized for the following 12 months,

• financial assets whose credit risk has deteriorated significantly since initial recognition and which have no low credit risk (Stage 2). For these financial assets, the expected credit loss is recognized up to their maturity,

• financial assets for which there is objective evidence of impairment at the reporting date (Stage 3) and for which the expected credit loss is recognized up to maturity.

For client receivables the Group and the Company apply the simplified approach for calculating the expected credit losses. Therefore, at each reporting date, the Group and the Company measure the provision for impairment to an amount equal to the expected credit losses over the lifetime without monitoring the changes in credit risk. In calculating the expected credit losses, the Group uses a provisioning table by grouping the above financial instruments based on the nature and maturity of the balances and taking into account available historical data in relation to the debtors, adjusted for future factors in relation to the debtors and the economic environment.

Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset (or part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognized when:

• the rights to inflow of cash resources have expired,

• the Group or the Company retains the right to receive cash flows from that asset but has also undertaken to pay them to third parties fully without undue delay in the form of a transfer agreement; or

• the Group or the Company has transferred the right to receive cash flows from that asset while either (a) it has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards thereof or (b) has not transferred substantially all the risks and rewards , but has passed the control of that item.

When the Group or the Company transfers the rights to receive cash flows from an asset or concludes a transfer agreement, it assesses the extent to which it retains the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset. When the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and benefits of the transferred asset and retains control of the asset, then the asset is recognized to the extent that the Group continues to participate in the asset. In this case, the Group also recognizes a related liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and commitments retained by the Group or the Company.

Continued participation in the form of the guarantee of the transferred asset is recognized at the lower value between the carrying value of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration received which the Group could be required to repay.

ii) Financial liabilities

The Group's financial liabilities include loans, trade and other payables.

Loan liabilities

The Group's loan liablities are initially recognized at cost, which reflects the fair value of the amounts receivable minus the relative costs directly attributable to them, where they are significant. After initial recognition, interest bearing loans are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account issuing costs and the difference between the initial amount and the maturity. Gains and losses are recognized in the profit-loss when the liabilities are derecognized or impaired through the amortization process.

Commercial and other liabilities

Balances of suppliers and other payables are initially recognized at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Trade and other short-term liabilities are not interest-bearing accounts and are usually settled on the basis of the agreed credits.

Financial liabilities are classified as short-term liabilities unless the Group has the unconditional right to transfer the settlement of the financial liability at least 12 months after the financial statements date.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation arising from the liability is cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another by the same lender but under substantially different terms or the terms of an existing liability are significantly changed, such exchange or amendment is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying values is recognized in the income statement.

Settlement of financial claims and liabilities

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reflected in the statement of financial position only when the Group or the Company legally holds that right and intends to offset them on a net basis with one another or to claim the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The statutory right should not depend on future events and should be capable of being executed in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the company or the counterparty.

7.9. Inventories

At the balance sheet date, inventories are valued at the lower of acquisition cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated sales price during the normal course of the company's business less any relevant sales expenses. The cost of inventories does not include financial expenses. The acquisition cost includes the purchase price, import duties and other taxes, as well as transport, delivery expenses and directly attributable costs. Trade discounts, reductions in prices and other similar elements are deducted when determining the acquisition cost.

The cost of conversion of inventories includes the costs directly related to the production units, such as direct labour cost. It also includes a systematic allocation of fixed and variable production overheads, which are realized during the conversion of the material into finished goods. Fixed production overheads are the direct production costs which remain fixed, irrespective of the production volume, such as

depreciation and maintenance of factory buildings and equipment, as well as the cost of directing and managing the factory. Variable production overheads are the indirect production costs which varydirectly or almost directly depending on the production volume, such as indirect material and indirect labour. The provision for inventory impairment is formed based on the estimations of the management regarding the actual situation and the ability to use the inventory if deemed necessary.

7.10. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in the bank and in hand, as well as short term highly liquid investments such as money market products and bank deposits. Money market products are financial assets which are valued at their fair value through the income statement.

7.11. Non-current assets classified as held for sale

The assets available for sale also include other assets (including goodwill) and tangible fixed assets that the Group intends to sell within one year from the date they are classified as "held for sale". The assets classified as "held for sale" are valued at the lowest value between their carrying value immediately prior to their classification as available for sale, and their fair value less the sale cost. Assets classified as "held for sale" are not subject to depreciation. The profit or loss that results from the sale and reassessment of assets "held for sale" is included in in the income statement.

7.12. Share capital

Expenses incurred for the issuance of shares reduce, after deducting the relevant income tax, the proceeds from the issue. Expenses related to the issuance of shares for the purchase of companies are included in the acquisition cost of the company acquired.

When acquiring own shares, the consideration paid, including the respective costs, is deducted from equity (share premium reserve).

7.13. Income tax & deferred tax

The tax for the period comprises current tax and deferred tax, i.e. the tax charges or tax credits that are associated with economic benefits accruing in the period but have been assessed by the tax authorities in different periods. Income tax is recognized in the income statement of the period, except for the tax relating to transactions that have been recorded directly in equity. In such case the related tax is, accordingly, recorded directly in equity.

Current income taxes include the short-term liabilities or assets from the fiscal authorities that relate to taxes payable on the taxable income of the period and any additional income taxes from previous periods.

Current taxes are measured according to the tax rates and tax laws prevailing during the financial years to which they relate, based on the taxable profit for the year. All changes to the short-term taxable assets or liabilities are recognized as part of the tax expense in the income statement.

Deferred income tax is determined according to the liability method which results from the provisional differences between the carrying value and the tax base of assets or liabilities. Deferred tax is not recorded if it results from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction, except for a business combination, which when it occurred did not affect neither the accounting nor the tax profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are valued based on the tax rates that are expected to be in effect during the period in which the asset or liability will be settled, taking into consideration the tax rates (and tax laws) that have been put into effect or are essentially in effect up until the Balance Sheet date. In the event where it is impossible to identify the timing of the reversal of the provisional differences, the tax rate in effect on the day after the balance sheet date is used.

Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be a future tax profit for the use of the provisional difference which creates the deferred tax asset.

Deferred income tax is recognized for the provisional differences that result from investments in subsidiaries and associates, except for the case where the reversal of the provisional differences is controlled by the Group and it is possible that the provisional differences will not be reversed in the foreseeable future.

Most changes in the deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized as part of the tax expense in the income statement. Only changes in assets or liabilities that affect the provisional differences are recognized directly in the equity of the Group, such as the revaluation of property value, that results in the relevant change in deferred tax assets or liabilities being charged against the relevant equity account.

7.14. Employee benefits

Short-term benefits:

Short-term employee benefits (except post-employment benefits), monetary and in kind are recognized as an expense when they accrue. Any unpaid amount is recorded as a liability, while in the case where the amount paid exceeds the amount of services rendered, the company recognizes the excess amount as an asset (prepaid expense) only to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction of future payments or to reimbursement.

Post-employment benefits:

Post-employment benefits comprise lump-sum payment of retirement benefit, pensions or other benefits the company provides after retirement, as an exchange for the employees' service with the company. Thus, such benefits include defined contribution schemes as well as defined benefits schemes. The accrued cost of defined contribution schemes is recorded as an expense in the period it refers to. Pension plans adopted by the Group are partially financed through payments to insurance companies or government social security institutions.

(a) Defined contribution schemes

The defined contributions scheme involves the payment of contributions to Insurance Institutions (e.g. Social Security Institution), as a result the Group not being legally liable in the event that the National Fund is unable to pay the pension to the insurer. The employer's obligation is limited to the payment of employee benefits to the Funds. The payable contribution from the Group to a defined contribution scheme, is either recognized as a liability after the deduction of the paid contribution, or as an expense in the income statement.

(b) Defined benefit scheme (Not funded)

According to Laws 2112/20 and 4093/2012, the Company pays its personnel compensation for employment termination or retirement. The compensation amounts depend on employment years, salary level and whether the employment was terminated or due to retirement. The establishment of the entitlement to participate in these schemes, usually depends upon the years of service of the employee till retirement.

The liability which is recognized in the Statement of Financial Position with respect to this scheme is the present value of the liability for the defined benefit less the fair value of the scheme's assets (reserve from the payments to the insurance company) and the changes that arise from any actuarial profit or loss and the service cost. The commitment of the defined benefit is calculated annually by an independent actuary with the use of the projected unit credit method.

A defined contribution scheme, defines based on several parameters such as age, service years, salary, certain obligations for defined benefits. The provisions relating to the period are included in personnel cost in the attached company and consolidated income statement and consist of current and past employment cost, the pertinent financial cost, the actuarial gain or loss, as well as any additional charges. Regarding unrecognized actuarial gain or loss, amended IAS19R is adopted, that includes a series of amendments regarding accounting treatment of defined benefits scheme, amongst other things:

  • recognition of actuarial profit/loss in other comprehensive income statement and their final exclusion from the results for the period

  • non-recognition of annual return of benefits scheme in the income statement but the recognition of respective interest rate in the liability account based on discount rate used in measuring obligations for defined benefits scheme.

  • the recognition of the service cost in the income statement for the period the earliest between the date the schemes are amended or when the respective restructuring is recognized or the final benefit

  • other changes include new disclosures, such as quantitative sensitivity analysis

7.15. Government Grants

The Group recognizes government grants that cumulatively satisfy the following criteria: a) There is reasonable certainty that the company has complied or will comply to the conditions of the grant and b) it is probable that the amount of the grant will be received.

Government Grants are recorded at fair value and are systematically recognized as revenues, according to the principle of matching the grants with the corresponding costs that they are subsidizing. Government Grants that related to assets are included in long-term liabilities as deferred income and are recognized systematically and rationally as revenues over the useful life of the fixed asset.

7.16. Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Group has present legal or constructive obligations as a result of past events, their settlement through an outflow of resources is probable and the exact amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated. Provisions are reviewed during the date when each balance sheet is drawn-up so that they may reflect the present value of the outflow that is expected to be required for the settlement of the obligation. Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the financial statements but are disclosed, except if the probability that there will be an outflow of resources that embody economic benefits is very small. Contingent claims are not recognized in the financial statements but are disclosed, provided that the inflow of economic benefits is probable.

7.17. Recognition of income and expenses

Income: The Group applied IFRS 15 for the first time on 01.01.2018.

According to IFRS 15, a five-step model is established to determine revenue from contracts with customers:

Step 1: Define the contract for the sale of goods or the provision of services

Step 2: Identify the separate obligations arising from the contract with the customer

Step 3: Determine transaction value

Step 4: Allocation of the transaction value to the obligations arising from the contract

Step 5: Recognize revenue as the entity meets its obligations under the contract with the customer

Revenue is recognized in the amount by which an entity expects to have in exchange for the transfer of the goods or services to a counterparty. Intra-group revenues within the Group are completely eliminated. Revenue recognition is made as follows:

Sale of goods: Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when the control of the good is transferred to the customer, usually upon delivery to the customer, and there is no obligation that could affect the acceptance of the good by the customer.

Provision of services: Income from the provision of services is accounted for in the period during which the services are rendered, based on the stage of completion of the service in relation to the total services to be rendered.

Income from the sale and leaseback of Tangible Assets: The positive difference between the fair value of the consideration and the value of the asset granted is recorded as deferred income and is depreciated according to the depreciation rate (on the basis of the useful life or lease term) of the leased asset..

Interest Income: Interest income is recognized on a time proportion basis using the effective interest rate. When there is impairment of assets, their carrying value is reduced to their recoverable amount which is the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted using the initial real interest rate. Interest is then recorded using the same interest rate calculated on the impaired (new book) value. Income from Dividends: Dividends are accounted for as revenue when the right to receive payment is established.

Expenses: Expenses are recognized in the income statement on an accrued basis. The payments made for operating leases are transferred to the results as an expense, during the time the lease is used. Interest expenses are recognized on an accrued basis.

Cost of Borrowing: The cost of borrowing is directly related to the purchase, construction or production of eligible assets, it is passed on increasing the cost of these assets. The capitalization of the cost of borrowing is realized during the period of construction of the fixed asset and ends when the eligible asset is exploitable or tradable. When the fixed asset is completed in stages, the cost of borrowing, which corresponds to part of the asset stops being accounted for in the cost of the fixed asset and is transferred to the results for the period.

7.18. Leases

Until 2018, leases were classified as financial or operating leases in accordance with the requirements of IAS 17. Financial leases were capitalized at the beginning of the lease at the lowest value resulting from

the fair value of the fixed asset and the present value of the minimum rents, both of which were determined at the beginning of the lease. Each rent was separated into obligation and interest. Operating lease payments were recorded by a fixed method in the Total Income Statement throughout the duration of the lease. As of 01/01/2019, based on IFRS 16, the classification of leases into operating leases and financial leases is abolished for the lessee and all leases are regarded as assets of "Financial Position Status" by establishing the "right to use" of assets and a "lease liability".

Recognition and initial calculation of the right to use an asset

At the start date of a lease term, the Group recognizes a right to use an asset and a lease liability by calculating the right to use the asset at cost.

The cost of the right to use an asset includes:

  • the amount of the initial measurement of the lease obligation (see below),
  • any payments made before or on the start date of the lease period, reduced by the lease incentives received,
  • the initial direct costs borne by the lessee, and
  • an estimate of the expenses that will be borne by the Group during the dismantling and removal of the leased asset, the restoration of the area in which the leased asset is located or the restoration of the asset as required by its terms and conditions of the lease. The Group undertakes the obligation for such expenses either on the start date of the lease term or as a consequence of the use of the leased asset during a particular period.

Initial calculation of the lease obligation

At the start date of the lease term, the Group calculates the lease liability to the present value of the unpaid rent payments on that date. When the imputed rental rate can be determined appropriately, then the lease payments will be discounted using this interest rate. Otherwise, the Group's marginal lending rate is used.

At the start date of the lease term, the payments included in the calculation of the lease liability include the following payments for the right to use an asset during the lease period, unless they have been paid at the start date of the lease:

(a) fixed payments minus any receivable lease incentives,

(b) any variable payments of rents that depend on future changes in indices or interest rates, which are initially measured using the index or interest rate at the start date of the lease term,

(c) the amounts expected to be paid by the Group as residual value guarantees,

(d) the price of exercising the right to purchase if it is essentially certain that the Group will exercise the right, and

e) the payment of penalties for termination of the lease, if the lease period reflects the exercise of the Group's right to terminate the lease.

Subsequent calculation

Subsequent calculation of the right to use an asset

After the start date of the lease term, the Group calculates the right to use an asset using the cost model.

The Group calculates the right to use an asset at cost:

  • (a) minus any accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, and
  • (b) adapted for any subsequent measurement of the lease obligation,

The Group applies the requirements of IAS 16 regarding the amortization of the right to use an asset, which it examines for any impairment. The right to use an asset is depreciated in the shortest period between the useful life of the asset or its lease term, by a fixed method.

Subsequent liability calculation

After the start date of the lease period, the Group calculates the lease liability, as follows:

  • (a) by increasing the book value in order to reflect the financial cost of the lease liability,
  • (b) reducing the book value in order to reflect the rents paid, and
  • (c) re-calculating the accounting value in order to reflect any revision or amendment of the lease.

The financial costs of a lease are distributed during the lease term in such a way as to result in a fixed periodic interest rate on the outstanding balance of the liability.

After the start date of the lease term, the Group recognizes the profits or losses (except when the costs are included in the book value of another asset for which other relevant Standards apply) and the following two items:

(a) the financial costs on the lease liability, and

(b) variable lease payments that are not included in the calculation of the lease liability during the period in which the event that activates those payments takes place.

7.19. Dividend distribution

The distribution of dividends to the shareholders of the parent company is recognized as a liability in the consolidated financial statements at the date on which the distribution is approved by the General Meeting of the shareholders.

7.20. Related Parties

The transactions and intercompany outstanding balances with the Group's related parties are disclosed in accordance with IAS 24 "Related Party Disclosures". These transactions regard transactions between the management, the main shareholders and the subsidiary companies of a group with the parent company and the fellow subsidiaries of the Group.

8. Risk Management

Financial risk factors

The Company and the Group are exposed to financial and other risks. The Group's general risk management program aims at containing potential negative influence to the Group's financial results. The Finance Department monitors and manages the risks to which the Group is exposed, it determines and hedges if necessary the financial risks in cooperation with the departments which are facing these risks. Further, it does not conduct any business transactions which are not related to the commercial, investment or borrowing activities of the Group.

More specifically, for these risks we note the following:

Foreign Exchange Risk

The Group conducts most of its transaction in Euro, thus limiting direct foreign exchange risk. However, apart from the Euro, it conducts commercial transaction at a global level and consequently is exposed to foreign exchange risk emanating mainly from the US dollar. These transactions regard only a small portion of its activities and thus the foreign exchange risk is limited.

Credit Risk

The Group does not exhibit any considerable concentration of credit risk in any of the contracted parties, since on the one part the exports are covered by bank guarantees and the retail sales are mostly in cash and on the other hand its customer base is dispersed in wholesale. The Group's wholesale is performed based on its internal rules of operation, which ensure that the sale of goods and services is made to creditworthy clients. Further, a significant part of claims from clients of the Group are insured. The company has a credit insurance cover for its wholesale with EULER HERMES.

The tables below summarize the Company's and the Group's credit risk:

Liquidity Risk

The liquidity requirements are determined for a period of 6 months and are reviewed on a monthly basis. Payment requirements are monitored on a weekly basis. During periods of insufficient liquidity the company can finance its liquidity requirements through bank borrowing from approved credit limits it has with banks. With the purpose of dealing with the adverse economic conditions which prevail, the Group has taken measures aiming at reducing the time for recovery of claims and the maintenance of satisfactory amounts of cash and other assets with high liquidity.

The analysis of undiscounted contractual payments of the financial liabilities of the Group and the Company are as follows:

Interest Rate Fluctuation Risk

The Group monitors and manages its borrowing, by using a combination of short-term and long-term borrowing. There are approved credit limits and satisfactory terms of cooperation and invoicing of various bank services which assist in limiting the financial cost of the Group.

The table below represents the sensitivity of the income statement for the period, as well as of equity, based on a reasonable fluctuation in the interest rate in the range of +1% or –1%:

Risk related to Inventory-Suppliers

The Group takes all the necessary measures (insurance, storage) to minimize the risk of potential losses from the loss of inventories due to natural disasters, theft etc. The Management continuously reviews the net realizable value of inventories and makes the necessary write-downs. In addition, the Company believes that dependence on suppliers is limited and in any case insignificant to the economic size of the Group, as there is no significant dependence on specific suppliers, as no one supplies the Company with products amounting to more than 10% of its total purchases.

Dependence on Customers

The Group's customer base is dispersed and there is no dependence risk from large customers. The Group aims in satisfying even a larger number of customers by expanding its range of products and aiming in directly satisfying their needs.

Capital Management

The primary objective of the Group's and Company's capital management is to ensure the maintenance of an acceptable credit rating and a healthy capital ratio, aiming for the smooth operation of its business activities and to maximize the value of its shareholders. The Group and the Company manage the capital restructuring and make adjustments in order to be in harmony with the changes in the economic environment.

A significant instrument for capital management is the use of a leverage ratio (debt-to-equity ratio), which is monitored at Group level. The calculation of net borrowing includes interest bearing loans and bonds less cash and cash equivalents.

10.14. Employee benefit liabilities

Under Greek labor law, employees are entitled to compensation in cases of dismissal or retirement, the amount of which is related to employees' salaries, duration of service and reason of termination (dismissal or retirement). Employees who resign or are dismissed for no reason are entitled to compensation. The compensation due in case of retirement is equal to 40% of the amount that would be paid in case of dismissal. In the beginning of 2020, the subsidiary Iktinos Marmaron transferred to the company IKT IKTINOS IKE all its staff without making any commitment regarding the compensation of employees to the counterparty company, for this reason on 31st December 2019 the said subsidiary derecognized the entire provision.

The changes in the present value of staff compensation due to leaving the service are as follows:

The main actuarial assumptions used are the following:

31/12/2019 31/12/2018
Discount interest rate 1.15% 1.60%
Future increases in salaries 2.50% 2.50%
Inflation 1.50% 2.00%

The use of a higher discount interest rate by 0.5% would result in the actuarial liability being 7% less for the Company and the Group, while the exact reverse action, i.e. the use of a lower discount interest rate by 0.5% would result in the actuarial liability being 8% more for the Company and the Group. The use of a higher expectation of increase in salaries by 0.5% would result in the actuarial liability being 8% less for the Company and the Group, while the exact reverse action, i.e. the use of an expectation of increase in salaries by 0.5% would result in the actuarial liability being 7% more for the Company and the Group.

Level 2: valuation techniques for which all inputs that have a material effect on the fair value recorded are observable either directly or indirectly

Level 3: techniques that use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value and are not based on observable market data

The following tables illustrate the financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value at 31 December 2019.

10.29. Fair value of non-financial instruments

Investment property is measured at fair value. The fair value of the property was calculated by an independent appraisal firm with sufficient experience, which determined the value of the property by following internationally recognized valuation methods.

The following tables show the levels of non-financial assets measured at fair values at 31 December 2019 and 31 December 2017 respectively.

Non-financial instruments at

The discounted cash flow method was used to calculate the fair value of the plots. The discounted cash flow (DCF) method takes into account the timing, frequency and amount of future cash flows expected to produce the property using discount rates that reflect the current market estimate of uncertainty about height and timing the occurrence of these cash flows. For the application of cash flow discounting techniques, assumptions that establish estimates for fair value are used and are related to: expected future income, completeness, seasons, construction costs, maintenance obligations, and appropriate discount rates

Indicative for the valuation of investment properties, key assumptions based on non-observable data and used are summarized in the table below:

For the years 2011-2013, Greek Societies whose annual financial statements are compulsorily audited are required to receive the "Annual Certificate" provided for in paragraph 5 of article 82 of Law 2238/1994, which is issued after tax audit carried out by the same statutory auditor or audit firm that controls the annual financial statements. From 2014 onwards, the above Hellenic Societe Anonyme, except for which the basis of POL.1124 / 2015 is exempt from the annual certificate by statutory

auditors provided by the provisions of Article 65A of Law 4174/2013 as gross income of each one does not exceed the amount of one hundred fifty thousand Euro per year, they are obliged to receive an "Annual Certificate" provided by the provisions of article 65A par. 1 of Law 4174/20. The result of the above checks leads to the issuance of a tax certificate, which, if the relevant conditions are met, substitutes for the control by the public authority, but retains the right to a subsequent control without ending its tax obligations for the respective management. Since the 2016 use of recent legislation, this test has become optional. The Group has chosen to continue to receive the Annual Certificate for companies that meet the criteria of POL 1124/2015. For the fiscal year 2019, the tax audit for the issue of the "Tax Compliance Report" for the Company and its subsidiaries IKTINOS MARMARON SA, FEDIAS HELLAS SA is already in progress. and IDEH SA, and no significant tax liabilities other than those recorded and reflected in the financial statements are expected to arise.

10.34. Events subsequent to the balance sheet date

The outbreak of the new coronavirus (COVID-19), which was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020, has affected business and economic activity around the world, including in countries where the company operates. On 13.03.2020, the Greek Government issued its decision to impose a temporary suspension of the operation of a series of stores and other activities, but without affecting the operation of the company.

The company has taken all appropriate measures for the protection and prevention from the coronavirus and the prevention and control of its spread, with the aim of protecting employees and safeguarding public health in general. The measures taken are in accordance with the guidelines and recommendations of the National Public Health Organization (NPHO), the General Secretariat for Civil Protection (GSCP) and the World Health Organization (WHO).

The company did not make any redundancies, nor did it put staff on a temporary availability or reduce working hours. All employees worked normally, either by working remotely from home or by office presence. Technical staff whο belong to vulnerable groups, were granted a special purpose leave.

For such a highly exported product, such as the Greek marble, the impact of the global crisis is a source of risk, and is expected to affect the turnover of 2020. China is no longer at the heart of the pandemic as it was in the first quarter of 2020; however, this does not mean that business in the country is running smoothly as factories are recovering at the moment. The company had a 24% turnover increase for the first 45 days of 2020. But since the spread of COVID-19 there has been a 40% drop in turnover, resulting in a 22% turnover decline in the first quarter of 2020. It is noted that 96% of the sales of IKTINOS HELLAS SA is directed to overseas markets, while over 50% of exports is directed to China. The US, the Arab Gulf countries and Europe also have a significant share of the company's exports. Consequently, the movement of the pandemic to these countries is changing the situation for the company, presently for an unknown period.

The recovery of the market will be gradual and the first months of operation after the lift of the restrictive measures, will show reduced sales compared to the corresponding months of previous years. Recovery is expected in the second half of 2020.

The Company's Management constantly evaluates the situation and the possible effects, and takes all necessary measures to maintain the viability of the Company and its subsidiaries and minimize the impact on their activities in the current business and economic environment. In any case, there are no concerns regarding the continuation of the activities of the Company and the Group. The company currently has the cash and appropriate financial instruments - financing flows from the banking system and is able to maintain jobs and cope with the global crisis.

The environment at the moment does not allow us to make particularly secure predictions about the future as it is unknown when the situation will return to normal pace.

The Group's Management is optimistic about the development of sales as things look quite encouraging judging from the commercial agreements that are being negotiated and from those that have already been concluded and are in the process of implementation.

In addition to the above facts, there are no further facts on the financial statements relating to either the Group or the Company referred to in the International Financial Reporting Standards.

During the Extraordinary General Meeting of the shareholders of the company that convened on 29/1/2020, it was decided to distribute profits of previous years in the amount of 0.02 Euro per share. The corresponding tax of 5% is withheld from this amount, in accordance with the provisions of article 24 of Law 4646/2019 and therefore the total amount of the payable dividend per share will amount to 0.019 Euro.

The company owns equity and according to the current legislation, the dividend corresponding to the 489,916 shares held by the Company, increases the dividend of the other shares and therefore the total gross amount per share will be 0.02 Euro and the net amount will be 0.019 Euro per share.

The cutting-off took place on Monday, 23rd March 2020 and the beneficiaries of the dividend (record date) are the shareholders at the end of the meeting of the Athens Stock Exchange on Tuesday, 24th March 2020 and the payment of the dividend was to begin on Friday, 27th March 2020.

The company reached an agreement with the company MARMARA THASOU IOANNIS TATSIRAMOS & CO EBE, for a contractor exploitation of a marble quarry of approximately 46 acres in Thassos, with the right of acquisition until the end of the year. This quarry produces the snow-white crystal marble of Thassos, which is in very high demand in foreign markets. Drilling made by the company indicated the existence of significant deposits, which will be confirmed when mining takes place.

Apart from the above mentioned events, there are no other events subsequent to the financial statements, which concern either the Group or the Company, to which reference is made by the International Financial Reporting Standards.
