UNIT B

MAIN RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES FOR THE 2ND HALF-YEAR OF 2019

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

Macroeconomic Situation in Greece

During the first half of 2019, political developments also affected the country's macroeconomic situation, mainly the citizens' expectations, a situation that was sealed by the outcome of the July 7th national elections and the formation of a one-party government.

Positive expectations for political stability led to a significant rise in the prices of domestic financial instruments, with the Athens Stock Exchange achieving (until today) one of the best global performances, and the interest rates of the Greek government bonds on the secondary market to shrink excessively.

At the macro level, the expectations are more moderate. GDP growth in the first half of the year was at the same level as in 2018 (1,9%) and forecasts point to a difficult achievement of the 2% target for the whole year. Private consumption remained virtually the same for the semester, with a negative sign in the second quarter, while export growth was clearly lower in 2018, affected by the stable GDP in the main European countries that are the main destination of the Greek products. Credit growth continues to be negative for one more period, both in the private sector and in households.

Positive developments include the steady decline in unemployment (17,2% in the second quarter, compared to 19,3% at the end of 2018) and, above all, the outstanding performance at the fiscal level, where a primary surplus of € 1,76 billion was recorded in the seven-month period, against a deficit target of € 0,8 billion. These positive developments attributed in the achievement of the revenue target in a greater extent and in the limitation of public spending for one more period. Finally, a particularly positive development, albeit on a psychological level, was the abolition of capital controls at the end of August (after more than four years of validity), without any negative side effects on the economy.

The above, and in particular the evolution of private consumption, the evolution of the economic climate and the fluctuations of competition, have also affected the operations of the Group, which, nevertheless, achieved at least a one-digit improvement. By the end of the year, the reference points will be the Back to School period, the Black Friday and the Christmas season.

1. Interest Risk

The long term loans of the Company and of the Group, on June 30th 2019, were 7.920 th. € (8.940 th. € on 31.12.2018), and the short term bond loan were 2.040 th. € (2.333 th. € on 31.12.2018). From the total bond loans, the 5.160 th. Euro refers to one common bond loans from NBG, while the remaining amount refers to a common bond loan with floating interest rate from Eurobank SA.. In the current period and for the finance of the development/investment plan, the Company used limited short-term bank loans which ended up to 6.000 th. € on 30.06.2019.

The following table presents the sensitivity analysis of both the results of the period and the net equity to a change of the interest rate of +1% or -1%. The relevant influence is presented as follows:

Α) Interest Rate increase by 1%:

The results of the period as well as the Net Equity of the Group and of the Company, in this case, would decrease by 160 th. € and 155 th. € on 01.01-30.06.2019 and on 01.01-30.06.2018 respectively.

B) Interest Rate decrease by 1%:

The results of the period as well as the Net Equity of the Group and of the Company, in this case, would increase by 160 th. € and 155 th. € on 01.01-30.06.2019 and on 01.01-30.06.2018 respectively.

The Management of the Group monitors the course of interest rates and assumes all the necessary actions to smooth any negative effects. In any case, the limited exposure of the Group to debt capital results to consider the risk of higher interest rates, as not material. In addition, cash and cash equivalents of the Group on 30.06.2019 exceed the total of the Group's borrowings by 13.093 th. €.

2. Credit Risk

The Group has no significant credit risk, mainly because of the large dispersion of its customers. Retail sales are paid in cash or via credit cards whereas for wholesales the Group has all the necessary internal procedures according to which it gives credit, examining the creditworthiness of the customer, by each case separately. Furthermore, it is a policy of the Group, that the largest amount of receivables from customers is insured. The Company has divided its customer's base to named and non-named. The balances of the Public Sector are not insured. The Company and the Group form a provision for doubtful receivables, as stated in note 13 of the Half Year Financial Report.

The above mentioned bad debt provision includes:

a) a strictly defined provision for all the customers that have been characterized as doubtful

b) a specific provision for all the customers that have overdue balances based on the ageing of their balances

c) a provision, based on the increased level of risk because of the conditions of the economic environment, taking in consideration: 1) the reduced liquidity of Greek businesses and 2) the difficult access to bank financing.

It is noted that this provision includes also non-overdue receivables. For this provision the balances of all the customers have been taken into account, with the exception of the receivables from Plaisio Computers JSC, as it is considered that there is no risk of non-collection of these particular balances, given that PLAISIO COMPUTERS JSC is controlled 100% by the Parent Company. The debit balance of the Company Plaisio Computers JSC to the parent company Plaisio Computers SA on 30.06.2019 amounted to 345 th. €.

d) the Group has already moved to a provision for the balances from the Public Sector. It is noted that this provision, also includes non-overdue balances.

On June 30th 2019 the total balance of customers and other trade receivables (not including the subsidiary) for the Group and the Company, was 19.896 th. € and 19.106 th. € while the provision for doubtful receivables was 1.788 th. € and 1.705 th. €. On 31.12.2018 the total balance of customers and other trade receivables, for the Group and the Company, was increased slightly to 20.735 th. € and 19.911 th. €, while the provision for doubtful receivables came up to 2.855 th. € and 2.774 th. € for the Group and the Company respectively.

In any case, the high level of the provisions, in addition to the conservative policy regarding the provision for impairment lead to the estimation that this particular risk is controlled and any negative consequences in the future are probably limited. The necessary provision is calculated based on historical data in combination with the estimations of the management for the expected credit losses.

3. Inventory - Suppliers Risk

The Group takes all the necessary measures (insurance, safekeeping) so as to minimize the risk and contingent damages due to physical disasters, thefts etc. Furthermore, since the Group takes activity in a sector of high technology, where the risk of technical devaluation is significant, the Management reviews the net realizable value and forms the appropriate provisions so that their value in the financial statements coincides with the real one.

On 30.06.2019, the net inventory was 57.487 th. €, as from the 65.238 th. € (gross amount) a provision for devaluation amounting to 7.751 th. € was taken by the Group. The respective amounts for the Company were 56.282 th.

Interim Financial Report for the period 01.01.19-30.06.19

€, 64.005 th. € and 7.722 th. €. The amount of net inventory, increased from 52.527 th. € and 51.278 th. € in the end of 2018. The inventory was increased due to the entrance of the Group in a new operating segment, that of major and small domestic appliances and cooling & heating appliances. The new operation of the Group commenced in the last days of June. Also, there is seasonality in the inventory and in the end of the second semester the inventory of the Group is lower than that of the first semester.

In the period under examination, the provision of devaluation of inventory came up to 11,9% compared to 13,9% on 31.12.2018. It is noted that the new product category of domestic appliances, the Group did not calculate provision for devaluation as there were not any relevant historical sales data. Also, the small and major domestic appliances are a new product category, the provision for devaluation appears a low probability to be recognized.

Finally, the Company considers the suppliers' risk limited, and in any case non-important for the financial results of the Group, since there is no significant dependence for the Group on any one of its suppliers by more than 10% of the total supplies, except one supplier which exceeds the aforementioned percentage. All the above mentioned depict the standard policy of the Management for operational independency in relation to particular vendors, while during the following period no significant changes are expected concerning this risk also in the second half of this current financial year of 2019.

4. Foreign Exchange Risk

The foreign exchange risk is the risk of volatility of the value of financial assets and liabilities due to changes of exchange rates. The majority of the Group's transactions and balances are in Euro, but at the same time, the Group has deposits in foreign currency. Furthermore, there are no loan liabilities in a currency other than the Euro. The Group in certain cases, outweighs the foreign exchange risk, by conducting derivative contracts, without proceeding with hedge accounting for that matter.

The Management of the Group observes at all times the foreign currency risks that may arise and evaluates the need for relevant measures. Due to the fact that the purchase invoicing from many suppliers is expressed in US dollar terms, hedging is usual, which results in variations in the financial periods at the exchange rate results. The activity of the Group in Bulgaria is not considered to affect currency risk, as the exchange rate of the Bulgarian currency to the Euro is fixed.

5. Turnover Seasonality

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

6. Intensity of Competition

The Company operates in an intensively competitive industry, as there are many retailers which operate in the consumer electronics sector. However, due to the multi-product approach of the Group, it is not an easy exercise to identify an identical business model in the market. In addition, it is observed that companies with similar products with Plaisio to stop their operations, or if they are multinational, to end their operations in Greece, during the years of financial crisis. This happens, mainly, due to the intense competition, the suppressed profit margins and the limited

liquidity which lead to increased finance cost. In such an environment, the Group achieves over time one of the best performance margins, and consistently shows profitability, facts that prove the success in the referred Market. However, the competition may change in the future with the entrance of new competitors in the market or with the amendments of the strategy of the already existed competitors. Also, in periods when the consuming spend is stable or decreasing, the competition can lead to redistribution of the market shares. The intensity of competition may negatively affect the turnover and the profitability of the Group.

7. Liquidity Risk

The Group retains high level of cash and cash equivalents, which exceed significantly the total of its exposure to borrowing, while at the same time it has pre-approved credit balances in order to minimize liquidity risk. The Group, is also highly estimated by the Greek banks and its vendors, because its 50-year dynamic course in the Greek market.

More specifically sales of personal computers and digital products came up to 61.673 th. € having decreased by 4,2% in comparison to the relevant period in 2018.

Operational Expenses - Financial Income, Expenses and Profits from Associates

The expenses of the Group, including the financial expenses, increased by 6,7% and ended up to 28.958 th. €, versus 27.145 th. € in the respective period of 2018 and are analyzed as follows:

01.01.2019 – 30.06.2019

Other Expenses/(Income): (290) th. €
Net Financial Expenses: 564 th. €

The new operating segment of small and major domestic appliances and the heating & cooling appliances, the opening of the new superstore of 3.000 sq.m. in Petrou Ralli, the renovation in the stores of Dafni, Metamorphosi, Kalamaria and the re-opening of the old store in Ag. Paraskevi in order to include the new product categories and the adoption of the new concept in the store in The Mall were the main actions of the first half of 2019. The aforementioned in combination with the increased marketing activities led the increase in operating expenses. The increase in financial expenses is, mainly, attributed to the adoption of IFRS 16 which is presented in note 2.2.

UNIT E

Alternative Performance Measures ("APM")

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

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

The Group, both in the current and the previous year has not used adjusted APM,( i.e. adjustments in the figures of P&L, Balance Sheet or Cash Flow), except the adjusted EBITDA. This APM is calculated due to the first implementation of IFRS 16 and the measure is applied for the period 01.01-30.06.2019 and is calculated excluding the effect of IFRS 16. The below amounts presented in th. €.

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

Net Debt (Liquidity) (A) - (B) (13.093) (29.569) (12.715) (28.851)

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

Adjusted EBITDA (excluding the effect of IFRS 16) is defined as deducting from Adjusted EBITDA the expense adjustments related to leases. Adjusted EBITDA margin (%) is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total turnover.

Events after the reporting period of 30.06.2019

The Company informed the investing public on 04/09/2019, according to the decision of its Board of Directors, Mr. Marios Vamvakouris was appointed as Shareholder Services Manager replacing Mrs. Dimitra Foti because of her retirement.

Τhere are no other events after the reporting period, of the Group or the Company, which have a significant effect on the financial position of the Group or the Company.

UNIT G

Assessment of the evolution of the activities of the company during the second HY 2019

The second half appears optimistic at the macroeconomic level, stemming from stability in the new political governance and the announcements for policies focused on development and rationalization of the tax regime. In particular, the reduction in the range of tax rates (on businesses, distributable profits and the tax rate for individuals' incomes), the maintenance of fiscal stability and the acceleration of the implementation of major projects (mainly of

Interim Financial Report for the period 01.01.19-30.06.19

"Elliniko" project), which in addition to the development dimension, it will also have a positive impact on job creation. Additionally, indicators for the spread of this optimism are found within the year on the rise in construction activity (2nd quarter) and real estate prices (eg based on the apartment price index), the growth in new car registrations and the increase in tourism revenue. (data up to June). The above is mainly reflected in the economic climate index hitting 108,4 points in August from 105,3 points in July, a performance compared to November 2007.

In this economic context, Plaisio has chosen to further expand its product categories through the supply of major and small domestic appliances, with the aim of gradually acquiring a satisfactory share of the relevant market. It is natural that, during the first period, the costs associated with the new operation are increased and therefore the performance margins are compressed. Factors that will affect the results of the Company are the level of competition, the financial costs, the exchange rates (although the fluctuation of the exchange rate of € / \$ is relatively modest since the beginning of the year) and the overall consumer behavior during the Christmas period, when the Group traditionally achieves the highest sales.

CHAPTER 3

AUDITORS REPORT ON REVIEW OF INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Board of Directors of PLAISIO COMPUTERS S.A.

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying interim condensed separate and consolidated statement of financial position of "PLAISIO COMPUTERS S.A." as at 30 June 2019 and the related condensed separate and consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month period then ended, as well as the selected explanatory notes that comprise the interim condensed financial information, which is an integral part of the six-month financial report as required by the Law 3556/2007.

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

Scope of Review

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

Conclusion

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

Report on other legal and regulatory requirements

Our review has not revealed any material inconsistency or misstatement in the statements of the members of the Board of Directors and the information of the six-month Board of Directors Report, as defined in articles 5 and 5a of Law 3556/2007, in relation to the accompanying interim condensed financial information.

*The Group has applied IFRS 16 using the cumulative effect method. According to this method, the comparative data is not restated.

For more information refer to note 2.2. Adjusted EBITDA is presented as a separate APM in the BoD Report.

The notes on the accounts are an integral part of the interim financial statements.

1. General Information

These financial statements include the interim condensed financial statements of the company Plaisio Computers S.A. (the "Company") and the consolidated interim condensed financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary (together "the Group"). The names of the subsidiary and affiliates are presented in note 9.

The Company assembles and trades PCs, Telecommunication and Office Equipment. Also, in the end of June the Group started the trade of small and major domestic appliances and cooling & heating appliances.

The Group has presence in Greece and Bulgaria and PLAISIO COMPUTERS S.A. is listed in the Athens Stock Exchange.

The Board of Directors of PLAISIO COMPUTERS S.A. approved the financial statements for the six month period ending on June 30th 2019 on the 26th of September 2019.

2. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements and Accounting Principles

2.1 Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements

The interim financial statements of the company and the group dated June 30th 2019 refer to period from January 1st 2019 to June 30th 2019. They have been prepared based on I.A.S 34 "Interim Financial Information" and have to be examined in comparison to the annual financial statements of December 31st 2018 which are available on the company web site www.plaisio.gr. The comparable data, wherever it has deemed necessary were adjusted according to the changes the Group has made in the presentation of the financial statements.

The accounting principles that have been used in the preparation and presentation of the current financial statements are in accordance with those used for the preparation of the Company and Group financial statements as of December 31st , 2018 and the new IFRSs mandatory applied from 1st January 2019.

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

2.2 Standards and Interpretations effective for the current financial year

1. New and amended standards approved by the E.U. and adopted in the interim financial statements

IFRS Effective Date
IFRS 16 «Leases» 1 Ιανουαρίου 2019
IFRIC 23 «Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments» 1 Ιανουαρίου 2019
IFRS 9 «Financial Instruments (Amendment – Prepayment Features with Negative
Compensation and Modification of Financial Liabilities)»

IAS 19 Employee Benefits (Amendment – Plan Amendment, Curtailment or

Of the amendments above, only the adoption of IFRS 16 affected the Group and led to significant changes. The adoption of the new standard is depicted in the Statement of Changes in Equity. Other amendments are either not significant or not relevant to the operations of the Company and the Group.

2. Changes in accounting policies

IFRS 16 "Leases"

IFRS 16 supersedes IAS 17 Leases, IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, SIC-15 Operating Leases-Incentives and SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease. The standard sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases and requires lessees to account for all leases under a single on-balance sheet model. Lessor accounting under IFRS 16 is substantially unchanged under IAS 17. Lessors will continue to classify leases as either operating or finance leases using similar principles as in IAS 17. Therefore, IFRS 16 did not have an impact for leases where the Group or the Company is the lessor.

The Group and the Company adopted IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective method of adoption with the date of initial application of 1 January 2019. Under this method, the standard is applied retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application.

Practical expedients applied

In applying IFRS 16 for the first time, the Group has used the following practical expedients on transition permitted by the standard:

The use of a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics.

  • Reliance on previous assessments on whether leases are onerous.
  • The accounting for operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months as at 1 January 2019.
  • The exclusion of initial direct costs for the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application.

The use of hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.

Moreover, the Group elected to use the on-going recognition exemptions for lease contracts that, at the commencement date, have a lease term of 12 months or less and do not contain a purchase option (short-term leases),

and lease contracts for which the underlying asset is of low value (low-value assets). Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss.

Finally, the Group chose not to separate the non-lease components from lease components. This simplification is applicable to all class of underlying asset to which the right of use relates.

The change in the accounting policy affected the following items in the statement of financial position of the Group and the Company on 1 January 2019:

Lease activities and accounting treatment

The Group has various lease contracts for stores, offices and warehouses. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions. There are leases with fixed increases and others where the increase is based on changes in price indices.

Until the 2018 financial year, leases were classified as either finance or operating leases.

Finance leases were capitalized at the commencement of the lease at the inception date fair value of the leased property or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments were apportioned between interest and reduction of the lease liability. The Group did not have any finance leases.

Payments made under operating leases were charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

From 1 January 2019, leases are recognized as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use.

The Group and the Company presents right-of-use assets in the account "Right-of-use assets", the same line item as it presents underlying assets of the same nature that it owns.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date. It is discounted by using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the incremental borrowing rate (IBR). The IBR is the rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions.

The lease liability is subsequently increased by the interest cost on the lease liability and decreased by lease payment made. It is re-measured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, a change in the estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or as appropriate, changes in the assessment of whether a purchase or extension option is reasonably certain to be exercised or a termination option is reasonably certain not to be exercised.

The Group has applied judgement to determine the lease term for some lease contracts in which it is a lessee that includes renewal options. The assessment of whether the Group is reasonably certain to exercise such options impacts the lease term, which significantly affects the amount of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets recognized.

3. Risk management policies

3.1. Factors of financial risk

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

i) Foreign exchange risk

The foreign exchange risk is the risk of volatility of the value of financial assets, of assets and liabilities due to changes in the exchange rates. The majority of the Group's transactions and balances are in Euro and there are no loans in any other currency than the Euro. Therefore the Management estimates that the Group is exposed to minimal foreign exchange risks. Furthermore the Management monitors constantly the risks that might arise and evaluates the need of taking measures. Due to the fact that the purchase invoicing from many suppliers is expressed in US dollar terms, hedging is usual, which results in variations in the financial periods at the exchange rate results. In the first semester of 2019, the exchange rate €/\$ fluctuated in a small range, close to 1,10. The activity of the Group in Bulgaria does not amplify this risk as the exchange rate of the Bulgarian Leva to the Euro is fixed.

ii) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

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

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

The long term loans of the Company and of the Group, on June 30th 2019, were 7.920 € (8.940 th. € on 31.12.2018), the short term bond loans were 2.040 th. € (2.333 th. € on 31.12.2018). From the total bond loans (9.960 th. Euro), the 5.160 th. Euro refers to a common bond loans from NBG, while the remaining amount (4.800 th. Euro) refers to a common bond loan with floating interest rate from Eurobank SA.. In the current period and for the finance of

the development/investment plan, the Company used limited short-term bank loans, the balance of which amounted to 6.000 th. € on 30.06.2019.

The following table presents the sensitivity analysis of the results of the period as well as the net equity to a change of the interest rate of +1% or -1%. The relevant influence is presented as follows:

Α) Interest Rate increase by 1%:

The results of the period as well as the Net Equity of the Group and of the Company, in this case, would decrease by 160 th. € and 155 th. € on 01.01-30.06.2019 and 01.01-30.06.2018 respectively.

B) Interest Rate decrease by 1%:

The results of the period as well as the Net Equity of the Group and of the Company, in this case, would increase by 160 th. € and 155 th. € on 01.01-30.06.2019 and 01.01-30.06.2018 respectively.

The Management of the Group monitors the course of interest rates and assumes all the necessary actions to smooth any negative effects. In any case, the exposure of the Group to debt capital is temporary as the operating cash flows are sufficient for the new investments. Additionally, the Management considers the financial cost from interest rates and the relevant risk very limited for the upcoming periods because of the recent announcement of ECB for even lower (negative) interest rates, in combination with the expectations of the financial institutions and the International Markets that these interest rates will remain for a long time period. It is noted that cash and cash equivalents of the Group exceed the total bank debt by 13.093 th. € on 30.06.2019.

iii) Credit risk

Credit risk is managed on Group basis. Sales are made mainly to customers with an assessed credit history and credit limits. In addition to the Group's policy, most of the customer claims are insured.

As at 30.06.2019, the total of customers and other trade receivables other than the subsidiary, for the Group and the Company, amounted to 19.896 th. € and 19.106 th. €, while the provision for doubtful customers-debtors amounted to 1.788 th. € and 1.705 th. € respectively. As at 31.12.2018, the sum of receivables from customers and other trade receivables, for the Group and the Company, was slightly higher at 20.735 th. € and 19.911 th. €, respectively, while provisions for doubtful customers-debtors amounted to 2.855 th. € and 2.774 th. € for the Group and the Company respectively.

iv) Inventory - Suppliers Risk

The Group takes all the necessary measures (insurance, safekeeping) so as to minimize the risk and contingent damages due to physical disasters, thefts etc. Furthermore, since the Group takes activity in a sector of high technology, where the risk of technical devaluation is extremely increased, the Management reviews the net realizable value and forms the appropriate provisions so that their value in the financial statements coincides with the real one.

On 30.06.2019, the net inventory was 57.487 th. €, as from the 65.238 th. € (gross amount) a provision for devaluation amounting to 7.751 th. € was calculated for the Group. The respective amounts for the Company were 56.282 th. €, 64.005 th. € and 7.722 th. €. The amount of inventory, increased from 52.527 th. € and 51.278 th. € at the end of 2018. The inventory was increased due to the entrance of the Group in a new operating segment, that of major and small domestic appliances and cooling & heating appliances. The new operation of the Group commenced in the last days of June. Also, there is seasonality in the inventory and in the end of the second semester the inventory of the Group is lower than that of the first semester. In the period under examination, the provision of devaluation of inventory ended up to 11,9% compared to 13,9% on 31.12.2018 due to the expectation that with the improvement in technological means and the increased experience in the new product categories will lead to improved inventory management. It is noted that for the new product category of domestic appliances, the Group did not calculate provision for devaluation as there were not

any relevant historical sales data. Also, the small and major domestic appliances are a new product category, the provision for devaluation appears a low probability to be realized.

Finally, the Company considers the suppliers' risk limited, and in any case non-important for the financial results of the Group, since there is no significant dependence for the Group on any one of its suppliers by more than 10% of the total supplies, except one supplier which exceeds the aforementioned percentage. All the above mentioned depict the standard policy of the Management for operational independency in relation to particular vendors, while during the following period no significant changes are expected concerning this risk also in the second half of this current financial year of 2019.

v) Turnover Seasonality

Seasonality of sales requires rational working capital management and smooth inventory feedback so that there are no shortages. The Group's sales are seasonally limited, as approximately 55% of them are in the second half of the year. The second semester includes the peak Christmas season, Black Friday, and the start of the school season. Despite the seasonality of sales, Management estimates that the relative risk is particularly limited due to the Group's cash flow and, therefore, the ability to react promptly if a significant amount of commission is needed, and to maintain high stocks capable of covering additional demand.

vi) Intensity of Competition

The Company operates in an intensively competitive industry, as there are many retailers which operate in the consumer electronics sector. However, due to the multi-product approach of the Group, it is not an easy exercise to identify an identical business model in the market. In any case, the Group achieves over time one of the best performance margins, and consistently shows profitability, facts that prove the success in the referred Market. However, the competition may change in the future with the entrance of new competitors in the market or with the amendments of the strategy of the already existed competitors. Also, in periods when the consuming spend is stable or decreasing, the competition can lead to redistribution of the market shares. The intensity of competition may negatively affect the turnover and the profitability of the Group.

3.2. Capital risk management

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

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. In the last twelve months, the short-term bank loans were necessary for the Company because of the opening of three new stores and the launch of a new product category.

In the following tables the net borrowing of the Company and the Group, that as mentioned before is negative, is presented.

THE GROUP 30.06.2019 31.12.2018
Total loans 15.960 11.273
Minus: Cash & cash equivalents (29.053) (40.842)

5. Segment information

(Figures in thousand €)

The Management of the Group recognizes three main segments of its operation (the product categories): a) office products, b) PCs & Digital Technology products and c) telecommunications products), as its main operation segments. The before mentioned operation segments are those used by the management team for internal purposes and the strategic decisions are thus made, taking into consideration the results, efficiency and productivity of each one separately. There are two more segments of a less importance and are included in the category "Other". The main source of revenue for these two segments is the provision of service for the PCs and the provision of transportation services. The segment results for the period ended June 30th 2019 were as follows:

The Group's turnover came up to 137.523 th. € in the first semester of 2019 compared to 137.035 th. € in the respective period in 2018, resulting in an increase of 0,4%. Specifically, the sales of Computer & Digital Equipment ended up to 61.673 th. €, decreased by 4,2% compared with the respective period in 2018. The related EBITDA decreased in accordance with the decrease in sales. The decrease in the sales of the segment compared with the increase in total sales led to a low decrease in the segment's participation to 44,8% from 47,0% in the total sales of the Group. In contrast, Telephone products sales came up to 27.447 th. € the proportionate increase came up to 3,5% compared to the respective period in 2018, while the increase in adjusted EBITDA was higher (+6%). Consequently, this operating segment reflects 20,0% of the total turnover of the Group (6M 2018: 19,3%). The sales of Office Products showed the highest increase (+5,2%) to 47.680 th. €, reflecting 34,7% of the Group's total revenue (6M 2018: 33,1%). The positive effect of this increase is enhanced by the fact that the Office Products sector achieves the highest EBITDA margin and in the current period the sector appeared the highest percentage increase by almost a double-digit percentage. Consequently, the adjusted EBITDA of the Group increased by 2,23% while the increase in sales was of 0,4%. Finally, the sales of "Other Categories" came up to 723 th. € and the other revenue to 188 th. €. The slight decrease in the "Other categories" is attributed mainly in the fact that the Group focus on the guarantee extensions which ensure an excellent after sales support for the customers of Plaisio. The sales of the guarantee extensions should not be taken into account in the date the sale took place but it should be recognized throughout the guarantee period, based on IFRS 15.

In the last days of June, the Group entered into the market for large and small domestic appliances and air conditioning and heating appliances. Although these new categories constitute a new area of activity, as the activity began at the end of the semester and the sales were limited, they were included in "Other Categories" in the present financial statements.

Net realizable value of inventories 57.487 52.527 56.282 51.278

The Group takes all the necessary measures (insurance, security) in order to minimize the risk and contingent damages from loss of inventory from natural disasters, thefts etc. The group operates in the technology area, where the risk of technological devaluation is significant; the management examines constantly the net realizable value of stock and forms all the necessary provisions so that their value in the financial statements matches their true value.

On 30.06.2019 net inventory amounted to 57.487 th. €, while a depreciation provision of 7.751 th. € was formed from 65.238 th. €. The respective amounts for the Company were 56.282 th. €, 64.005 th. € and 7.722 th. € respectively. Stock levels increased from 52.527 th. € and 51.278 th. € at the end of 2018. The inventory was increased due to the entrance of the Group in a new operating segment, that of major and small domestic appliances and cooling & heating appliances. The new operation of the Group commenced in the last days of June.

In the period under examination, the provision of devaluation of inventory ended up to 11,9% compared to 13,9% on 31.12.2018.

This "Annual Tax Certificate" must be issued by the same statutory auditor or audit firm that issues the audit opinion on the statutory financial statements. Upon completion of the tax audit, the statutory auditor or audit firm must issue to the entity a "Tax Compliance Report" which will subsequently be submitted electronically to the Ministry of Finance, by the statutory auditor or audit firm. The Ministry of Finance, according to

Interim Financial Report for the period 01.01.19-30.06.19

aforementioned law, has the lawful right to choose a sample of companies, at least 9%, for statutory tax audit by the tax authorities of the Ministry. This statutory audit must be completed in an 18-month period from the submission of the "Tax Compliance Report" in the Ministry of Finance.

Since the 2014 financial year and on, the "Tax Compliance Report" became prospective for the companies of which the annual financial statements are mandatory audited. The "Tax Compliance Report" may substitute, in some cases, the audit from the Tax Authorities. However, the Tax Authorities retain the right to audit in later dates.
