To the Shareholders of "MARFIN INVESTMENT GROUP HOLDINGS S.A."
We have audited the accompanying separate and consolidated financial statements of MARFIN INVESTMENT GROUP HOLDINGS S.A. (the Company) and its subsidiaries, which comprise the separate and consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31 2018, and the separate and consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statements of changes in equity and cash flow statements for the year then ended, including a summary of significant accounting policies and selected explanatory notes to the financial statements.
In our opinion, the accompanying separate and consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as at December 31 2018, the financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union.
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs), as incorporated into the Greek Law. Our responsibilities, under those standards are further described in the "Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the separate and consolidated Financial Statements" section of our report. We remained independent of the Company and its subsidiaries, during the whole period of our audit, in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants "Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) as incorporated in the Greek Law and we have fulfilled our ethical responsibilities in accordance with current legislation requirements and 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.
We would like to draw your attention to Note 3.1 of the financial statements which describes that the Group's and Company's current liabilities exceed current assets by € 369.5 mil. and € 245.4 mil., respectively. As described in the same Note and in Note 26 of the financial statements, Management is in discussions for the restructuring of borrowing liabilities of the subsidiaries amounting to € 153.2 mil. In addition, in the context of the Restructuring Agreement signed by the Company, which requires compliance with terms in order to substantially reduce the Company's total borrowings, and in respect of loan liabilities amounting to € 248.8 mil., Management examines the restructuring the of the aforementioned liabilities or/ and their repayment through the disposal of assets.
The above conditions indicate the existence of material uncertainty regarding the Group's and Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The successful finalization of the restructuring of borrowing liabilities constitutes a key requirement for the adequacy of the Group's and Company's working capital. As mentioned in the same Note, Management has planned actions to enhance the Group's and Company's financial position and the going concern assumption, condition which has been taken into account for the preparation of the accompanying financial statements according to the going concern principle.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not express a separate opinion on these matters. Except of the matter as described in the paragraph "Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern" of our audit report, we have concluded that the matters which are described below are the key audit maters that must be disclosed in our audit report.
As at December 31, 2018, the Group has recognised goodwill of € 233.7 mil, intangible assets of € 235.1 mil. and tangible assets of € 1,017.8 mil. Further as at December 31, 2018 the Company has recognised investments in subsidiaries of € 782.1 mil.
In accordance with IFRS, management performs at the end of each reporting period, impairment tests for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful life while for intangible assets with definite useful life, tangible assets and investments in subsidiaries impairment tests are performed only when relevant indications exist. The abovementioned assessment requires significant level of judgement.
The impairment test requires the identification of the recoverable amount of each Cash Generating Unit (CGU) as the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and value in use. The assessment requires judgement by management regarding the future cash flows of each CGU (relating to variables as revenue growth rate, capital and operating expenditures and the requirements of the relevant legal framework affecting their operation) and the discount rates applied to future cash flows.
Based on the impairment tests performed for the year ended on December 31, 2018, the Group has recognized impairment losses of € 3.3 mil. on goodwill, € 13.5 mil. on intangible assets with indefinite useful life and € 1 mil. on tangible assets, whilst the Company has recognized impairment losses of € 102.8 mil. on investments in subsidiaries.
Due to the importance of these financial statement items and management's use of assumptions and estimates, we consider the impairment assessment of the abovementioned financial statement items as one of the key audit matters.
The Group's and Company's disclosures relating to the accounting policy, judgements and estimates used for the impairment assessment of the abovementioned assets are included in notes 4.3, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 10, 11 and 12 of the financial statements.
Our audit approach included, among others, the following procedures:
As at December 31, 2018, the Group and the Company are involved under their capacity as defendant in various and complex court cases and arbitration procedures during their normal operations.
The recognition and measurement of provisions and the measurement and disclosure of contingent liabilities related Our audit approach included, among others, the following procedures:
We assessed Managements procedures regarding the collection, monitoring and assessment of pending court cases and respective provisions

to court cases and arbitration procedures includes significant judgements by Management which take into consideration the estimates of its legal advisors and as a result we considered this area as one of the key audit matters. The estimates relate to the outcome and the possible financial impact of each case to the Group and the Company.
The Group's and Company's disclosures relating to the provisions and contingent liabilities are included in notes 4.16, 5.15 and 46.3 of the financial statements.
recognized.
As at December 31 2018, the Group has recognized investment properties of € 259.8 mil. and losses from fair value adjustments on investment property of € 7.5 mil.
Investment properties are recognized initially at acquisition cost including any transaction costs and subsequently at fair value. The fair value assessment of investment properties which has been assigned by Group's Management to an independent appraiser is based on significant estimates relating among others to the range of market rentals, the rental adjustment factor and the discount rate.
Taking into consideration the abovementioned factors and the significance of this item to the Group's financial statements, we assessed the fair value measurement of investment properties as one of the key audit matters.
The Group's and Company's disclosures relating to the accounting policy, judgements and estimates used for the fair value measurement of investment properties are included in notes 4.8, 5.11 and 15 of the Group's financial statements.
Our audit approach included, among others, the following procedures:
As at December 31 2018, the Group has recognized trade receivables of € 288.5 mil. against which provision for impairment amounting to € 132.2 mil. has been recognized.
At each reporting date, management assesses the recoverability of the abovementioned Group's receivables in order to be reflected at their recoverable amount. As of 01/01/2018, the Group has applied IFRS 9 for the Our audit approach included, among others, the following procedures:
measurement of the financial instruments, which led to changes in the impairment requirements of the financial assets in scope of this Standard.
The Group has applied the simplified approach of this Standard for contract assets, trade receivables and lease receivables by using a provision matrix in which the abovementioned financial instruments have been grouped based on the balances' nature and ageing and by taking into account available historical data in respect of the debtors, adjusted with future factors related to debtors and economic environment. This process involves significant judgements and estimates.
In this context and combined with the importance of this item in the financial statements, we assessed the recoverability of trade receivables as one of the key audit matters.
The Group's and Company's disclosures regarding the accounting policy, judgements, and estimates used for the recoverability assessment of trade receivables, are included in the notes 4.2, 4.3.2, 5.7 and 19 of the financial statements.
process, we evaluated among others, the estimates provided by legal consultants addressing the receivables for which legal proceedings have been initiated.
Group's revenues are derived from different operating segments ("Food & Dairy", "Transportation", "IT & Telecoms" and "Private Equity").
Each operating segment includes different revenue streams whose recognition involves different level of complexity and judgements by Management. Furthermore, revenue recognition requires judgments and estimates by Management regarding proper application of the accounting standards and in specific of IFRS 15- Revenues from Contracts with Customers, which was applied by the Group on 01/01/2018 using the cumulative effect method. Taking into consideration the above and the significance of this financial statement item we assessed revenue recognition as one of the key audit matters.
Group's disclosures regarding the accounting policies of revenue recognition and Management's judgements and estimates used for revenues are included in the notes 4.17 and 34 of the financial statements.
Our audit approach included, among others, the following procedures:
In May 2018, ATTICA group obtained the control of "Hellenic Seaways Maritime S.A." ("HSW") through the acquisition of a share of 50.30%. In May 2018, ATTICA Our audit approach included, among others, the following procedures:
© 2019 Grant Thornton Ορκωτοί Ελεγκτές Σύμβουλοι Επιχειρήσεων | Ζεφύρου 56, 175 64 Π. Φάληρο | Τ: +30 210 7280000 Φ: +30 210 7212222 | www.grant-thornton.
group proceeded with the acquisition of an additional share of 48.53%, holding a total share of 98.83%. The total price of the transaction stood at € 142.9 mil. At the stage that control was obtained (50.30%), the Group recognized temporary goodwill of € 26.3 mil.
In accordance with IFRS 3 "Business Combinations", the acquirer shall measure in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at their acquisition-date fair values. The measurement period shall not exceed 1 year from the acquisition date.
During the 4th quarter of 2018, the fair value measurement of the net assets of HSW acquired on 31/05/2018 was completed. Based on the fair values determined, the purchase price allocation of "Hellenic Seaways Maritime S.A." was completed and the temporary goodwill was reduced. The final amount of goodwill was determined at € 10.8 mil.
The abovementioned measurements require the use of complex valuation techniques, assumptions and estimates.
Due to the significant value of the transaction involved, as well as the significant assumptions /accounting estimates by Management for the determination of the purchase price allocation, this area was considered critical for our audit.
Management's disclosures regarding the accounting policy, judgements, and estimates used and the analysis of the abovementioned items are included in the notes 4.1, 5.1 and 6.1 of the financial statements.
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information are included in the Management Report of the Board of Directors, for which reference is made in the "Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements" and the Representations of the Members of the Board of Directors, does not include the financial statements and the auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the separate and consolidated financial statements do not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information, and in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the separate and consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, we conclude, based on our audit, that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate that matter. We have nothing to report, regarding the aforementioned matter.
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the separate and consolidated financial statements in accordance with the IFRSs as adopted by the European Union and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the separate and consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's and Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going
concern basis of accounting, unless there is an intention to liquidate the Company or the Group or to cease operations, or there is no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Audit Committee (artic. 44 Law 4449/2017) of the Company is responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the separate and consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs, as incorporated into the Greek Law, will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, as incorporated into the Greek Law, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Taking into consideration that Management is responsible for the preparation of the Management Report of the Board of Directors for the year ended 31 December 2017, according to the provisions of paragraph 5 of article 2 of Law 4336/2015 (part B) we note the following:

We have not provided the prohibited non-audit services referred to in Article 5 of EU Regulation 537/2014.
The permitted non-audit services that we have provided to the Company and its subsidiaries during the financial year that ended 31st December 2018, are disclosed in note 35 of the accompanying separate and consolidated financial statements.
We have been appointed statutory auditors by the Annual General Meeting of the Company on 29/06/2004. Since, we have been appointed as the statutory auditors for a total period of 15 years based on the decisions of the shareholder's Annual General Meetings.

Group's total debt on 31/12/2018 stood at € 1,455.3 m decreased by € 169.0 m versus 31/12/2017. The change is mainly due to a) decrease in bank loans of the MIG parent by € (153) m within 2018, b) increase in bank loans of VIVARTIA group by € 37 m mainly due to the transfer of short-term liabilities to long-term loan liabilities in the context of the implementation of the Restructuring Agreement of the Syndicated Bond Loans of VIVARTIA group, c) increase in loan liabilities of ATTICA group by approximately € 107 m, mainly due to the full consolidation of HSW, d) nonconsolidation of loan liabilities of HYGEIA group standing at € (132) m as at 31/12/2017 due to disposal of the aforementioned investment within 2018, and e) classification of loan liabilities totaling approximately € (30) m of MIG LEISURE and CTDC into disposal groups held for sale.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities: Cash flows from investing activities stood at € 129.1 m versus € 15.0 m in the respective period of the last year. The difference is attributed mainly to the inflow from the sale of HYGEIA group and to the outflow from the acquisition of HSW by ATTICA group.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities: Cash flows from financing activities stood at (176.2) m versus € (48.0) m in the respective period last year. The difference is attributed mainly to the decrease on the bank loans of the Group in 2018.

Net Debt on 31/12/2018 stood at € 377.3 m versus € 335.7 m on 31/12/2017.

Loss after tax for 2018 stood at € (44.9) m versus loss of € (48.7) m in the respective last year period. It is to be noted that the results of 2018 include provisions for reimbursement of court fees amounting to € 5 m in accordance with the decision of the Arbitration Court.
Net debt on 31/12/2018 stood at € 543.7 m versus € 690.0 m on 31/12/2017 and pertains mainly to MIG parent. The decrease is mainly due to the decrease in MIG parent's net debt of € 146.2 m within FY 2018.

The sale is part of a wider transaction for the sale to the purchaser of a total of 96.82% in CTDC owned by the Company and LOUIS PLC for the amount of € 54.89 m. On 18/04/2019, following the approval

PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS BUSINESS SOLUTIONS S.A. was the Company's financial advisor in respect of the aforementioned transaction.
During the current year, MIG disposed its participation in HYGEIA group. The consideration of the transaction was satisfactory and amounted to € 204 m. The major part of the proceeds from the disposal was used towards repayment of the Company's loan liabilities, which decreased from € 700 m as at 31/12/2017 to € 547 m as at 31/12/2018. Moreover, within the current year, the restructuring agreement of VIVARTIA group's bank debt was completed, thus significantly improving the repayment schedule and the financial position of the Group.
Company's loan liabilities of € 228.8 m are contractually payable in October 2019. The Management plans to restructure the aforementioned liabilities and/or repay them through disposal of assets, since substantial decrease in high borrowing and achieving financial balance remain the core objectives of the Company. In this context, on 18/04/2019, the sale of the total of shares held by its subsidiary MIG LEISURE in CTDC, the owner of Hilton Cyprus, was completed. The major part of the consideration from the disposal was used towards repaying loan liabilities of the Group.
For 2019, efforts remain focused to reinforce the operating results of all subsidiaries and to further improve the Group's financial stability. Based on the above priorities, each of the Group's operating segments has set the main objectives for 2019, as discussed below in this section.
In 2019, VIVARTIA group stays committed to improving its companies' operations through strengthening their financial performance and developing their business activities. In particular, the Dairy sector recognizes that challenges are numerous and significant, but within these frameworks, and utilizing targeted actions to strengthen its operational sectors, it goes dynamically into the development phase to the extent that the general economic climate allows it. The Dairy sector will continue to implement its key strategic objectives that have to do with undertaking new product initiatives and innovations, investing in the high quality of its products, obtaining access to new distribution channels and further enhancing its presence in international markets. Regarding the Frozen sector, it is expected to continue to implement its investment plan through investing in production and packaging lines for vegetables and doughs, automated refrigeration chambers, dough production facilities, i.e. the investments that will facilitate further development. At the same time, as part of implementing its strategic plan, it will continue its efforts aimed at further strengthening its presence in international markets in line with penetrating the new markets and distribution channels, focusing on sustainable development and investing in the primary sector. Regarding the Catering sector, its main priority still refers to facilitating on-going development and strengthening its networks, concentrating on tourism markets, while focusing on strategic partnerships domestically and outside Greece. This development will be achieved through performing investments coupled with the partnerships with existing and new strategic partners. Digital innovation constitutes the strategic pillar for development of all catering sector brands in 2019. The
objective is to increase the overall consumer experience and their levels of loyalty through tools and instruments that respond to modern consumer needs.
The key factors that will affect the course and development of ATTICA group's turnover in 2019 have to do, amongst others, with the intensity of competition, the impact of the domestic tourism traffic in relation to the disposal income and above all the evolution of the fuel prices that constitutes a significant component of the segment's operating cost structure and especially any extreme movements in the international oil prices and refinery products which are already high. ATTICA group's management continuously assesses every new element that could affect the above mentioned factors and plans to optimize the group's performance on the basis of the resulting data.
Greek IT Market is expected to remain almost stable in 2019, after the negative performance recorded within the three-year period 2015-2017 and the correction of 2.5% recorded in 2018. The key factors in IT market growth will continue pertain to services and software, while hardware is estimated to record a lower performance.
The company continues the process of redesigning the total of its operations, both in terms of organizational structure and product base, as formed in the recent years following various acquisitions and mergers of the companies in the industry. The Company's performance in the sectors of integrator and software constitutes its comparative advantage over its competitors, providing the Company with growth opportunities in various markets and sectors of the Greek economy, making the best possible use of the human capital utilizing all the currently effective human capital and technological factors.
RKB seeks to improve its financial performance by increasing occupancy and rental rates of its retail stores, while also targeting high-quality international tenants and investors that plan to expand in the Serbian market. In this context, RKB is conducting active asset management of its available for rent and/or sale sites that includes improved leasing tactics, vacant space management, promotional and marketing initiatives as well as new revised procedures to enhance operational efficiency. The objective is to create a stable and strong customer base, increase occupancy of retail stores, improve efficiency and financial structure and develop its operations on an on-going basis.
Τhe Company and the Group are exposed to risks pertaining to financing, interest rates, fuel prices, liquidity, credit and currencies. The Group reviews and periodically assesses its exposure to the risks cited above on a one by one basis as well as collectively and uses financial instruments to hedge its exposure to certain risk categories.
The main objective is to evaluate and assess all the risks to which the Company and Group are exposed to through their operating and investing activities.
The Group uses several financial instruments or pursues specialized strategies to limit its exposure to potential changes in the value of its investments stemming from market volatility, including fluctuations in prevailing interest rates and currency exchange rates.
The Group operates on an international scale and therefore is exposed to currency risk that arises mainly from fluctuations in the exchange rate of the USD, UK Sterling, and other currencies of European countries where the subsidiaries of the Group operate. This type of risk mainly arises from the commercial activities and the foreign currency transactions as well as investments in foreign legal entities. It is noted that the Company's and the Group's largest portion of revenues and expenses is Euro denominated. Likewise, the largest part of the Company's investments is denominated in Euro.
On 31/12/2018, out of the Group's total assets and liabilities € 13.9 m and € 7.1 m respectively were held in foreign currency. A change in exchange rates by +/-10% would result in an amount of € +/- € 0.2 m being recognized before tax in the income statement and an amount of € -/+ € 0.2 m being recognized in equity.
Changes in interest rates can affect the Group's net income by increasing the costs of servicing debt used to finance the Group. Changes in the interest rates can also affect, amongst others: (a) the cost and availability of debt financing and the Group's ability to achieve attractive rates of return on its investments; and (b) the capability of financing the debt of the investments and of the businesses in which the Group has invested.
Bank debt constitutes one of the funding sources of the Group. A large portion of the Group's bank debt pays floating interest rates and therefore is directly dependent upon interest rate levels and fluctuations, a fact which exposes the Group to cash flow risk. The Group's policy is to constantly monitor interest rate trends as well as the duration of its financial needs. Thus, decisions about the length along with the relationship between fixed and floating rate of a new loan, are taken separately for each case.
On 31/12/2018, assets and liabilities amounting to € 121.5 m and € 1,455.3 m respectively for the Group were exposed to interest rate risk. A change of interest rates by +/- 1% would result in -/+ € 17.7 m being recognized in the Consolidated Income Statement and Equity.
The risk of the Group and the Company with respect to the trading portfolio, financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss, the investment portfolio and investments in associates arises from potential adverse changes in the market prices of shares and other securities. On 31/12/2018, the assets exposed to market risk amounted to € 3.0 m for the Group and € 0.2 m for the Company respectively. A fluctuation of +/- 30% in investments whose revaluation gains or losses are recognized in the Income Statement and cumulatively in Equity, would lead to a change of +/- € 0.1 m for the Group and +/- € 0.05 m for the Company.
The Group's companies that operate in the Transportation Segment are significantly affected by the fluctuation of fuel prices, since it constitutes one of its main operating costs. An increase or decrease in the price of fuels by 10% on an annual basis would affect the Income Statement of the Group and its equity by approximately -/+ € 13.5 m.
Credit risk is the risk of the potential delayed payment to the Group and the Company of its current and future receivables by its counterparties.
Aiming at minimizing credit risk and bad debts, the Group has adopted efficient monitoring processes and policies per counterparty based on the counterparty's credibility.
Prudent liquidity risk management implies cash adequacy as well as the existence and availability of necessary funding sources. The Group is managing its liquidity requirements on a daily basis through systematic monitoring οf it's short and long-term financial liabilities and through daily monitoring of the payments made. Furthermore, the Group constantly monitors the maturity of its receivables and payables, in order to maintain a balance between capital continuity and flexibility via its bank credit worthiness.

The corporate governance framework has been developed in Greece mostly by adopting mandatory rules, such as Law 3016/2002 on corporate governance, which provides for the participation of nonexecutive and independent non-executive members in the Board of Directors of Greek listed companies, the establishment and operation of an Internal Audit Unit and the adoption of an Internal Regulation of Operation as well as the provisions of the decision of the Hellenic Capital Market Commission under number 5/204/14.11.2000 on the "Rules of conduct of the companies listed in the Stock Exchange and of the persons connected to them". Moreover, new corporate governance rules were established by a series of new legislative statutes that, inter alia, incorporated European corporate law directives in the Greek legal framework, such as Law 4449/2017 "Compulsory audit of annual and consolidated financial statements, public oversight of the audit work and other provisions (Directives 2006/43/EC and 2014/56/EC, adoption of appropriate provisions for effective application of Regulation (EU) 537/2014).
Furthermore, in Greece, the new Law 4548/2018 "Reform of the law of societes anonymes" includes the basic rules for the governance and operation of societes anonymes in general and well as specific arrangements for listed companies on a regulated market.
In complying with the existing legal framework on corporate governance, the Company has established and adopted a Corporate Governance Code, which is posted in the Company's website www.marfininvestmentgroup.com.

Said schedule is prepared in consultation with the Company's Management and upon assessment of the potential risks and their classification based on their significance.
The powers and responsibilities of Internal Audit include the following:
Internal Audit updates the Audit Committee about its operation in writing, through reports prepared on at least a quarterly basis or whenever deemed necessary.
The Company's Internal Audit is in regular contact with the external auditors and the respective departments of its subsidiaries in order to ensure that the Audit Committee will be immediately informed of significant issues pertaining to the operation of the Group companies.
The Company's organization structure is reflected on a specific Organization Chart, which forms part of the Company's Internal Regulation. The Internal Regulation provides the tasks and objects of each department of the Company.
The Board of Directors has delegated certain powers and authorities to officers and members of the Management, monitoring their activities so as to facilitate the Company's efficient operation.
The Company has developed IT Systems which support accounting and financial reporting effectively.
Data and information are protected by implementing adequate procedures of data protection, recovery and back-up, e-mail protection and prevention of malicious acts, ensuring their integrity and smooth management.

Irrespective of the structure of administrative, management and supervisory organs, their composition plays a major role to the success of a company or group of companies. Aiming at the enhancement of its development and competitiveness, the Company considers the increased diversity in its Board of Directors as a basic element for the achievement of the strategic targets of MIG Group, taking especially into consideration the various sectors where the individual subsidiary companies operate.
In particular, the diversity of education, professional experience and origin among the members of the Board of Directors facilitates the understanding of business organization and business affairs and renders objective and constructive the exchange of opinions for the taking of decisions. In contrast, inefficient diversity could lead to limited exchange of opinions, fewer ideas and challenges during meetings and perhaps to less effective supervision of the Board of Directors or the executive members.
The Company encourages diversity in relation to aspects, such as indicatively age, nationality, sex, educational background, professional experience or candidates' skills.
The Company adopts a policy according to which nomination of the members of the Board of Directors relies on meritocracy and candidates are examined in relation to objective criteria, taking into account the benefits of diversity in the Board of Directors. The above parameters of diversity are taken into consideration in determining the best possible composition of the Board of Directors and, if possible, they are balanced properly.
So far no case of application of said policy has taken place (i.e. election of a new member of the Board of Directors).

Remuneration and benefits policy has been developed in SINGULARLOGIC to attract, employ and maintain a high level of technology expertise. The remuneration of each employee reflects the educational background, experience, responsibility, but also the value / weight of the position in the labor market. In addition, depending on the hierarchical rank, the employee's past experience and the objective difficulties he may encounter (such as the need for remote work), the company offers additional benefits such as: corporate car, mileage compensation, mobile phone, portable PCs on case basis and others.
Moreover, in the context of rewarding and maintaining a high level of satisfaction for its people, the company offers health care and education activities targeting not only its employees but their families as well, such as:
Finally, a shuttle bus is provided to and from the company's premises from selected metro and suburban stations.
In the framework of the Corporate Responsibility actions organized by the company, the participation of its employees is decisive for their success. In addition to the organization of voluntary blood donation on a yearly basis, various social actions are supported. In particular, during the year 2018, support actions were carried out by various NGOs such as:
In 2018, two teams of the company's employees, SINGULARLOGIC Basketball Team and the Theater Group were activated. The company strongly supports these volunteer groups of its people and has undertaken all their operating expenses (training / rehearsal areas, uniforms / appearances).
Offer free, cutting-edge software to 17 educational institutions in order to improve the quality of education under real conditions.
Offering support and facilities to schools with special needs:
Moreover, as every year, the corporate Christmas greeting card corresponds to an amount made available to an NGO. In 2018, as in 2017, SINGULARLOGIC selected THE SMILE OF THE CHILD.

On 27/04/2017, the Management signed a Restructuring Agreement for the restructuring of the Company's loan liabilities totaling € 554.1 m. On 25/04/2018, the aforementioned Restructuring Agreement that includes loan liabilities totaling € 403.5 m as at the reporting date was modified.
The following actions have been performed in the context of implementing the terms of the above Restructuring Agreement within 2018 and as until the accompanying annual Financial Statements approval date.
On 05/07/2018, MIG announced the signing of an agreement for the sale of HYGEIA shares to the company HELLENIC HEALTHCARE S.A.R.L. (which is controlled by the investment funds of CVC CAPITAL PARTNERS). The sale in question was approved by the General
Meeting of MIG shareholders as of 25/08/2018 and on 27/09/2018 the transaction was approved by the Hellenic Competition Commission (see Note 7.1). The offered consideration amounted to € 0.95 per share and consequently the total consideration of the transaction amounted to € 204 m, out of which an amount of € 201.9 m was used in order to repay the Company's loan liabilities.
On 27/02/2019, MIG announced the signing of an agreement for the sale of the total stake held by its subsidiary MIG LEISURE in CTDC, owner of Hilton Cyprus hotel, to VIBRANA HOLDINGS LTD interest of NATIONAL PANGAIA REIC and INVEL group. The sale price amounted to € 38.64 m and is part of a wider transaction for the sale to the purchaser of a total of 96.82% in CTDC owned by the Company and LOUIS PLC for the amount of € 54.89 m. On 27/03/2019, the transaction was approved by the competent Cypriot Commission for the Protection of Competition, while on 18/04/2019 the transfer of the aforementioned shares was finalized. The disposal consideration was used to repay bank loans of MIG LEISURE, amounting to € 27.5 m, while a part of the remaining consideration was used for the purposes of repaying loan liabilities of the Company.
The Management is also in the process of implementing the other terms and conditions of the Restructuring Agreement, relating to compliance with the commitments in respect to financial ratios, as well as the disposal of assets of the Group, upon receipt of the required consent, on case basis, of other stakeholders, aiming at substantial reduction of the Company's total borrowing.
Any failure to fulfill a term or completion of the required steps, which are interrelated, may result in failure to complete the implementation of the terms of the Restructuring Agreement. In such a case, the Management will seek to renegotiate the key terms of the Restructuring Agreement with the co-operating bank including time shifting of its contractual debts from the existing borrowings.
The Group's short-term liabilities as at 31/12/2018 (as detailed in Note 26) include capital and interest liabilities of subsidiaries SINGULARLOGIC € (51.3) m, RKB € (101.9 m) totaling € 153,202k, regarding which the Management is in discussions with creditor banks.
In particular, the aforementioned Group's companies, at the date of approval of the accompanying Financial Statements, are in the process of discussions with the banks, in order to restructure the terms of the loan obligations of the subsidiaries (see Note 26), by examining plans that will potentially become mutually acceptable. The objective of the discussions is to extend the repayment period of loans and create more realistic financial ratios in line with the current economic conditions. Despite the fact that the current problems of the Greek economy and the Greek banking sector have led to imposition of more strict lending criteria, the Group Management is optimistic and believes that the entire process of the negotiations regarding the restructuring will be successfully completed over the next few months.
If the above intended actions of the Management regarding the Company and its subsidiaries do not succeed or prove inadequate due to prevailing instability and uncertainty as well as the uncertainty concerning the implementation of the actions that are not entirely dependent on the Management, then the results, the operation and the prospects of the Group may be adversely affected; that is to
say the combination of the described conditions indicates the existence of uncertainty regarding the Group's and Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
However, subject to the successful completion of the above actions, the Management reasonably expects that Group and Company will not face financing and liquidity issues within the next 12 months.
The Group's financial Statements have been prepared according to the principle of historical cost, as modified for the fair value adjustment of the items to follow:
The presentation currency is Euro (the currency of the Group's parent domicile) and all the amounts are presented in thousand Euro unless otherwise mentioned.
The preparation of the financial statements according to IFRS requires the use of estimates and judgments on the application of the Company's accounting policies. Opinions, assumptions and Management estimates affect the valuation of several asset and liability items, the amounts recognized during the financial year regarding specific income and expenses as well as the presented estimates on contingent liabilities.
The assumptions and estimates are assessed on a continuous basis according to historic experience and other factors, including expectations on future event outcomes that are considered as reasonable given the current conditions. The estimates and assumptions relate to the future and, consequently, the actual results may deviate from the accounting calculations.
The aspects requiring the highest degree of judgment as well as the aspects mostly affecting the consolidated Financial Statements are presented in Note 8 to the Financial Statements.
The accounting policies based on which the Financial Statements were drafted, are in accordance with those used in the preparation of the Annual Financial Statements for the FY 2017, adjusted to the new Standards and revisions imposed by IFRS (see par. 3.5.1, 3.5.2 and 3.5.3. and to the change in the accounting policy of the Group regarding recognition of replacements, essential damage repairs and equipment upgrades of the "Transportation" operating sector as separate item in valuation of vessels (see Note 49).
The following amendments and interpretations of the IFRS have been issued by IASB, adopted by the European Union and their application is mandatory from or after 01/01/2018.
In July 2014, the IASB issued the final version of IFRS 9. The package of improvements introduced by the final version of the Standard, includes a logical model for classification and measurement, a single, forward-looking "expected loss" impairment model and a substantially-reformed approach to
hedge accounting. The impact of the above on the Group's Financial Statements is presented in Note 3.5.3.
IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2018)
In May 2014, the IASB issued a new Standard, IFRS 15. The Standard fully converges with the requirements for the recognition of revenue in both IFRS and US GAAP. The key principles on which the Standard is based are consistent with much of current practice. The new Standard is expected to improve financial reporting by providing a more robust framework for addressing issues as they arise, increasing comparability across industries and capital markets, providing enhanced disclosures and clarifying accounting for contract costs. The new Standard will supersede IAS 11 "Construction Contracts", IAS 18 "Revenue" and several revenue related Interpretations. The impact of the above on the Group's Financial Statements is presented in Note 3.5.3.
In April 2016, the IASB published clarifications to IFRS 15. The amendments to IFRS 15 do not change the underlying principles of the Standard, but clarify how those principles should be applied. The amendments clarify how to identify a performance obligation in a contract, how to determine whether a company is a principal or an agent and how to determine whether the revenue from granting a license should be recognized at a point in time or over time.
In June 2016, the IASB published narrow scope amendment to IFRS 2. The objective of this amendment is to clarify how to account for certain types of share-based payment transactions. More specifically, the amendments provide requirements on the accounting for the effects of vesting and non-vesting conditions on the measurement of cash-settled share-based payments, for share-based payment transactions with a net settlement feature for withholding tax obligation, as well as, a modification to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment that changes the classification of the transaction from cash-settled to equity-settled. The amendments do not affect the consolidated Financial Statements.
In September 2016, the IASB published amendments to IFRS 4. The objective of the amendments is to address the temporary accounting consequences of the different effective dates of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and the forthcoming insurance contracts Standard. The amendments to existing requirements of IFRS 4 permit entities whose predominant activities are connected with insurance to defer the application of IFRS 9 until 2021 (the "temporary exemption") and also permit all issuers of insurance contracts to recognize in other comprehensive income, rather than profit or loss, the volatility that could arise when IFRS 9 is applied before the new insurance contracts Standard is issued (the "overlay approach"). The amendments do not affect the consolidated Financial Statements.
In December 2016, the IASB issued Annual Improvements to IFRSs – 2014-2016 Cycle, a collection of amendments to IFRSs, in response to several issues addressed during the 2014-2016 cycle. The
issues included in this cycle and are effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2018 are the following: IFRS 1: Deletion of short-term exemptions for first-time adopters, IAS 28: Measuring an associate or joint venture at fair value. The amendments do not affect the consolidated Financial Statements.
In December 2016, the IASB published narrow-scope amendments to IAS 40. The objective of the amendments is to reinforce the principle for transfers into, or out of, investment property in IAS 40, to specify that (a) a transfer into, or out of investment property should be made only when there has been a change in use of the property, and (b) such a change in use would involve the assessment of whether the property qualifies as an investment property. That change in use should be supported by evidence. The amendments do not affect the consolidated Financial Statements.
In December 2016, the IASB issued a new Interpretation, IFRIC 22. IFRIC 22 provides requirements about which exchange rate to use in reporting foreign currency transactions (such as revenue transactions) when payment is made or received in advance. The new interpretation does not have material impact on the consolidated Financial Statements.
The following new Standards, Interpretations and amendments of IFRSs have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), but their application has not started yet or they have not been adopted by the European Union.
In January 2016, the IASB issued a new Standard, IFRS 16. The objective of the project was to develop a new Leases Standard that sets out the principles that both parties to a contract, i.e. the customer ('lessee') and the supplier ('lessor'), apply to provide relevant information about leases in a manner that faithfully represents those transactions. To meet this objective, a lessee is required to recognize assets and liabilities arising from a lease. The above have been adopted by the European Union with effective date of 01/01/2019.
The Group intends to apply IFRS 16 for the first time on 1 January 2019, applying the modified retrospective approach. Based on this approach, the cumulative effect of the initial application of the Standard will be recognized as an adjustment to equity as at the initial application date without restating the comparative information. At the initial application date, the Group will recognize (a) a lease liability measured at the present value arising from discounting residual lease payments using the marginal lending rate effective as at the initial application date, and (b) a right to use an asset measured at an amount equal to the corresponding lease liability, adjusted by the amount of potentially effective prepaid or accrued rentals. Regarding short-term leases and leases in which the underlying asset is of low value, the Group will recognize the lease as an expense in the Income Statement using the straight-line method, in accordance with the relevant exceptions provided by IFRS 16. At the same time, the Group will apply the practical implementation guidance of the Standard and will not unbundle non-lease from lease items, applying the accounting treatment of a single lease to non-lease and lease items.
On 1 January 2019, the Group analyzed the expected effect of IFRS 16. In summary, based on the Management's current estimate, the effect from the adoption of IFRS 16 will be as follows: the
Group estimates that it will recognize in the consolidated Statement of Financial Position rights to use assets amounting to approximately from € 63.1 m to € 64.4 m and equal lease liabilities amounting to approximately from € 63.1 m to € 64.4 m (the Company: approximately from € 0.2 m to € 0.2 m). In the consolidated income statement, the depreciations are expected to increase in the range from € 9.8 m to € 10.1 m and financial expenses are expected to increase in the range from € 2.9 m to € 3.0 m. The decrease in rental costs is expected to lead to an improvement in EBITDA, ranging from € 11.0 m to € 11.4 m. The estimated effect is related to the contracts effective as at January 1, 2019.
The actual impact of the IFRS 16 application will depend on the Group's discount rate as at 1 January 2019, determination of the lease agreements that fall within the scope of the new Standard at that date and the final assessment of the Group for lease maturity, in particular, regarding exercising lease renewal and termination rights.
The new Standard on leases does not significantly affect the Group as a lessor.
Amendments to IFRS 9: "Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2019)
In October 2017, the IASB published narrow-scope amendments to IFRS 9. Under the existing requirements of IFRS 9, an entity would have measured a financial asset with negative compensation at fair value through profit or loss as the "negative compensation" feature would have been viewed as introducing potential cash flows that were not solely payments of principal and interest. Under the amendments, companies are allowed to measure particular prepayable financial assets with so-called negative compensation at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income if a specified condition is met. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any The above have been adopted by the European Union with effective date of 01/01/2019.
IFRIC 23 "Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2019)
In June 2017, the IASB issued a new Interpretation, IFRIC 23. IAS 12 "Income Taxes" specifies how to account for current and deferred tax, but not how to reflect the effects of uncertainty. IFRIC 23 provides requirements that add to the requirements in IAS 12 by specifying how to reflect the effects of uncertainty in accounting for income taxes. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above have been adopted by the European Union with effective date of 01/01/2019.
Amendments to IAS 28: "Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2019)
In October 2017, the IASB published narrow-scope amendments to IAS 28. The objective of the amendments is to clarify that companies account for long-term interests in an associate or joint venture – to which the equity method is not applied – using IFRS 9. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above have been adopted by the European Union with effective date of 01/01/2019.
Annual Improvements to IFRSs – 2015-2017 Cycle (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2019)
In December 2017, the IASB issued Annual Improvements to IFRSs – 2015-2017 Cycle, a collection of amendments to IFRSs, in response to several issues addressed during the 2015-2017 cycle. The issues included in this cycle are the following: IFRS 3 - IFRS 11: Previously held interest in a joint operation, IAS 12: Income tax consequences of payments on 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 Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above have been adopted by the European Union with effective date of 01/01/2019.
In February 2018, the IASB published narrow-scope amendments to IAS 19, under which an entity is required to use updated assumptions to determine current service cost and net interest for the remainder of the reporting period after an amendment, curtailment or settlement to a plan. The objective of the amendments is to enhance the understanding of the financial statements and provide useful information to the users. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above have been adopted by the European Union with effective date of 01/01/2019.
In March 2018, the IASB issued the revised Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (Conceptual Framework), the objective of which was to incorporate some important issues that were not covered, as well as update and clarify some guidance that was unclear or out of date. The revised Conceptual Framework includes a new chapter on measurement, which analyzes the concept on measurement, including factors to be considered when selecting a measurement basis, concepts on presentation and disclosure, and guidance on derecognition of assets and liabilities from financial statements. In addition, the revised Conceptual Framework includes improved definitions of an asset and a liability, guidance supporting these definitions, update of recognition criteria for assets and liabilities, as well as clarifications in important areas, such as the roles of stewardship, prudence and measurement uncertainty in financial reporting. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above have not been adopted by the European Union.
In March 2018, the IASB issued Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework, following its revision. Some Standards include explicit references to previous versions of the Conceptual Framework. The objective of these amendments is to update those references so that they refer to the revised Conceptual Framework and to support transition to the revised Conceptual Framework. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above have not been adopted by the European Union.
In October 2018, the IASB issued narrow-scope amendments to IFRS 3 to improve the definition of a business. The amendments will help companies determine whether an acquisition made is of a business or a group of assets. The amended definition emphasizes that the output of a business is to provide goods and services to customers, whereas the previous definition focused on returns in the form of dividends, lower costs or other economic benefits to investors and others. In addition to amending the wording of the definition, the Board has provided supplementary guidance. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above have not been adopted by the European Union.
In October 2018, the IASB issued amendments to its definition of material to make it easier for companies to make materiality judgements. The definition of material helps companies decide whether information should be included in their financial statements. The updated definition amends IAS 1 and IAS 8. The amendments clarify the definition of material and how it should be applied by including in the definition guidance that until now has featured elsewhere in IFRS Standards. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above have not been adopted by the European Union.
In May 2017, the IASB issued a new Standard, IFRS 17, which replaces an interim Standard, IFRS 4. The aim of the project was to provide a single principle-based standard to account for all types of insurance contracts, including reinsurance contracts that an insurer holds. A single principle-based standard would enhance comparability of financial reporting among entities, jurisdictions and capital markets. IFRS 17 sets out the requirements that an entity should apply in reporting information about insurance contracts it issues and reinsurance contracts it holds. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above have not been adopted by the European Union.
The Group has applied the new Standard IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" from 01/01/2018 without reviewing comparative information from previous years, recognizing the cumulative effect of initial application in Equity 's opening balance at the date of initial application. Therefore, the adjustments resulting from the application of the new Standard do not appears in the Statement of Financial Position as at December 31, 2017, but were recognized in the Statement of Financial Position as at January 1, 2018.
IFRS 9 largely maintains the effective provisions of IAS 39 for the Classification and Measurement of Financial Liabilities. However, it eliminates the previous categories under IAS 39 for financial assets: held-to-maturity, loans and receivables and available-for-sale. The adoption of IFRS 9 had no effect on the Group's accounting policies regarding financial liabilities, while the effect of IFRS 9 on the classification and measurement of financial assets is presented in the table below at the end of this section.
Regarding the impairment of financial assets, the effect of IFRS 9 adoption on the Group's equity as at 01/01/2018 stands at € 4,020k. As a result, as at 01/01/2018, the Group's equity decreased by € 4,020k, while provisions for doubtful debts increased by an equal amount.
At the date of the original application of the Standard, all existing hedging relationships of the Group can be classified as continuing and hence the application of the new standard has no impact on the financial statements. The Group's risk management policies are in line with the requirements of the new standard and hedge accounting continues to apply.
The Group's accounting policies for financial instruments and financial assets, in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 9, are described in Notes 4.2 and 4.3.2 to the accompanying Financial Statements.
The Group applied the new Standard IFRS 15 "Revenues from contracts with customers" from January 1, 2018 without restating comparative information, but recognizing the cumulative effect of initial application in the opening balance of Equity at the date of initial application. Consequently, the adjustments occurred from the application of the new Standard are not appeared in the financial position as of December 31, 2017 but recognized in the financial position as of January 1, 2018.
The total effect from the application of this new Standard on Group 's Equity at 01/01/2018 amounted to € 184k. The adoption of the new Standard as of 31/12/2018 resulted in an increase in revenue by € 15,643k and an equal increase in distribution expenses. This change relates to VIVARTIA Group and has no impact on the net result of the Group. The corresponding effect in the comparative period amounted to € 17,601k and was restated in the Income Statement for the period 31/12/2017 for comparability purposes.
The accounting policy in respect of recognizing revenue in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 15 is described in Note 4.17 to the accompanying Financial Statements.
Briefly, the effect of adjustments and reclassifications in the Group's and the Company's financial figures from the application of new Standards IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" and IFRS 15 "Revenue from contract with customers" is analysed in the following table. Line items not affected by the changes in the new Standards are not included in the table.

Subsidiaries are all the companies, which the Parent has the power to control directly or indirectly through other subsidiaries. The Company has and exercises control through its ownership of the majority of the subsidiaries' voting rights. The companies also considered subsidiaries are those in which the Company, being their single major shareholder, has the ability to appoint the majority of the members of their Board of Directors. The existence of potentially dilutive minority interests which are exercisable during the financial statements preparation is taken into consideration in order to assess whether the Company controls the subsidiaries.
Subsidiaries are consolidated (full consolidation) under the purchase method from the date of acquisition, which is the date on which control is transferred to the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control ceases. The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries. As of the acquisition date, the acquirer shall recognize goodwill arising from the acquisition that is measured as the excess of:
Goodwill is annually tested for impairment, and the difference between its book and its recoverable value is recognized as an impairment loss in the period's results.
Acquisition-related costs are costs (i.e. advisory, legal, accounting, valuation and other professional or consulting fees) are recognized as expenses, burdening profit and loss for the period when incurred.
The opposite case, which is a business combination in which the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, exceeds the consideration-transferred amount then the transaction is characterized as a bargain purchase. Following all the necessary reexaminations, the excess amount of the aforementioned difference is recognized as profit in profit or loss for the period.
Intracompany transactions, balances, and unrealized gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction offers impairment indications of the asset transferred.
Where necessary, the subsidiaries' accounting policies have been modified to ensure consistency with those adopted by the Group. Note 2, provides a full list of the consolidated subsidiaries alongside the Group's shareholdings.
Subsidiaries' financial statements preparation date coincides with the relevant date of the Parent Company.
The investments of the Parent Company in its subsidiaries are measured at cost less impairment losses. Impairment test is performed based on the requirements of IAS 36.
In case of changes in a parent's ownership interest in a subsidiary, it is examined whether the changes result in a loss of control or not.
Non-controlling interests are the part of the subsidiary that is not attributed, directly or indirectly, to the parent company. The losses that relate to the non-controlling interests of a subsidiary might exceed the rights of the non-controlling interests in the parent company's equity. The profit and loss and the total comprehensive income must be attributed to the owners of the parent and to the noncontrolling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
Associates are the companies on which the Group has significant influence but not control. The assumptions used by the Group are that a shareholding between 20% and 50% of the voting rights of a company indicates significant influence on that company except where it can clearly be proved otherwise. Investments in associates are recognized at cost and are consolidated using the equity method.
At the end of every financial year, the cost increases or decreases with the Group's proportion in the changes in equity of the investee company. The Group's share in the associates' profits or losses following their acquisition is recognized in the Income Statement whereas the change in the associates' reserves is recognized in equity reserves. When the Group's shareholding in the losses of an associate is equal or exceeds the cost of its investment in the associate including any other doubtful debts, the Group does not recognize further losses except if it has covered liabilities or made payments on behalf of the associate and those deriving from its shareholder capacity. If in the future the associate presents profits, the investor will begin to re-recognize its share in the profit, only when its share in the profits becomes equal with its share in the losses not recognized.
Non-realized profits from transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated by the Group's shareholding in the associates. Non-realized losses are eliminated except if the transaction indicates evidence of impairment of the transferable assets.
The associates' accounting principles are consistent with the accounting principles adopted and applied by the Group. The preparation date of the associates' financial statements coincides with that of the Parent.
Investments in associates in the separate Financial Statements are measured at fair values according to IFRS 9 provisions for the assets available for sale. The investments are initially recognized at fair value and any change in their fair value is recognized directly in equity to the extent that the change does not pertain to any loss from permanent impairment in the investment's value. As of 31/12/2018, the Company did not have any investments in associates.
"Joint Arrangements" are classified as either a joint venture or a joint operation depending upon the rights and obligations of the parties to the arrangement.
Interests in joint ventures- under the equity method – are initially recognized at acquisition cost and then adjusted to the Group's percentage on the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of joint ventures. When the extent of the Group participation in joint venture losses equals or exceeds its interest in this joint venture, the Group does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or advanced payments on behalf of the joint venture.
Unrealized gains on transactions between the Group and joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the interest in joint ventures. Moreover, unrealized losses are also eliminated, unless there is evidence for the impairment of the transferred asset.
Moreover, regarding its interests in Joint Arrangements, the Group recognizes the following in its consolidated financial statements:
a) its assets (including its share in any assets under joint arrangement),
b) its liabilities (including its share in any liabilities burdening it under joint arrangement),
c) its share in revenue from disposal of production under joint arrangement, and
d) its expenses (including its share in any expenses burdening it under joint arrangement).
A financial instrument is defined as an agreement creating either a financial asset in a company and a financial liability, or, a shareholding in another company.
Financial asset or financial liability are recognized in the Statement of Financial Position, when and only when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.
Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards are transferred.
A financial liability (or part of it) is derecognized from the Statement of Financial Position, when and only when the contractual liability is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires.
Except for those trade receivables that do not contain a significant financial component and are measured at the transaction price in accordance with IFRS 15, all financial assets are initial measured at fair value adjusting for transaction costs except for financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss.
Financial assets, other than those designated and effective as hedging instruments, are classified into the following categories :
The classification is determined by both the entity 's business model for managing the financial asset and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.
All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognized in profit or loss are presented within the items "Other financial results", "Financial expenses" and "Financial income", except for impairment of trade receivables which is presented within operating expenses.
Financial asset is subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss, amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income. The classification is based on both criteria:
The measurement category at amortized cost includes non-derivative financial assets like loans and receivables with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. After initial recognition these are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
For financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, changes of fair value are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income and reclassified in Income Statement upon derecognition of the financial instruments.
For financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss are measured at their fair value and changes of fair value recognized in gains or losses of Income Statement. The fair value of these instruments is determined by reference to active market transactions or using a valuation technique where no active market exists.
The Group's financial liabilities include mainly bank loans and Bond Loans. Borrowings are initially measured at cost, i.e. at the amount of the cash received minus the cost of issuance. They are then measured at amortized cost under the effective rate method. Loans are classified as short term liabilities unless the Group maintains the absolute right to transfer the settlement of liabilities for at least 12 months after the Financial Statements reporting date.
Financial liabilities may be classified upon initial recognition at FVTPL, if the following criteria are met.
The Group classifies a financial instrument it issued under equity or liabilities depending on the instrument's contractual terms. Convertible bond loans are divided in two parts: on the one hand, the financial liability, and on the other, the equity component regarding the option the holder is granted to convert the bond into common shares of the Company.
The financial liability is initially measured at present value of any future payments the Group has assumed regardless of bond holders' exercising any option. The discount rate used is the market rate in effect on the issuing date for a similar loan, excluding the embedded conversion option. Subsequently, the liability is measured either at amortized cost by the effective rate method or at the fair value according to the specific characteristics of each CBL. The interest derived from bond loans is included in the 'Financial expenses' account.
The residual value between the net product of issue and the present value of the financial liability, after subtracting the corresponding income tax is directly credited to equity.
In case that the rule "fixed for fixed" of IAS 32 is not qualified, the convertible bond loan constitutes as a whole a compound financial instrument and as a whole (both the element of the loan and the incorporated derivative in the form of conversion option) is classified as a financial liability.
Disposal of convertible bonds of the Company after their issue by companies of the Group is accounted for in the consolidated financial statements in a wat related to the initial issue of bonds.
The Group uses derivative financial instruments such as Forward Rate Agreements, Interest Rate and Currency Swaps and other derivatives in order to hedge against interest rate and exchange rate fluctuations.
The Group classifies its derivatives as held for hedging purposes. The Group uses derivatives for hedging risks deriving from changes in interest rates, changes in share prices and exchange rates and fuel. The Group applies fair value hedging or cash flow hedging which meet the relevant criteria. For derivatives that do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting, profits or losses deriving from changes in fair value are recognized in profits or losses for the period.
Hedging relationship for which hedge accounting is required exists in the following cases:
The derivatives that are held for hedging are measured on each reporting date at fair value. The accounting treatment of changes in fair value depends on the type of hedge. For hedge accounting purposes, financial hedge is classified as either a fair value hedge, when the risk of a change in the fair value of a listed asset or liability is hedged, or as a cash flow hedge, when cash flow fluctuation is hedged, which night arise from a specific risk directly related to the asset or liability.
For fair value hedges that meet the criteria for hedge accounting, any profit or loss from the revaluation of the derivative at fair value is recognized in profit or loss in the Income Statement. Any profit or loss of the hedged instrument due to the hedged risk readjusts the book value of the hedged instrument and is recognized in the Income Statement.
In cash flow hedging transactions, gains or losses relating to the effective portion of the hedge and the portion, arising from changes in the fair value of the derivative financial instrument are recognized in other comprehensive income in a cash flow hedging reserves, while the ineffective portion of the hedge is recorded directly in the Income Statement.
Any gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to the Income Statement and is presented as an adjustment in other comprehensive income in the period in which a hedged item affects the results of the financial year. However, when a non-financial asset or liability is recognized as a result of a hedging transaction, the gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is included in the original measurement of the hedged item.
When a projected transaction is no longer expected to take place, any relevant gain or loss recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred directly to profit or loss. If the hedge relationship ceases to meet the provisions for effectiveness, the hedge accounting is discontinued and the related gains or losses are retained in the cash flow hedging reserves until the projected transaction is performed.
The fair values of financial assets and liabilities that are traded in active markets are determined by the current bid prices without subtracting the transaction costs. As for non-traded financial assets and liabilities, the fair values are determined by the application of valuation techniques such as an analysis of recent transactions, comparable assets that are traded, derivative valuation models and discounted cash flows.
The Group uses generally accepted valuation methods for the measurement of fair values of ordinary instruments such as interest rate swaps and FX swaps. The data used is based upon relevant market measurements (interest rates, share prices, etc.) on the reporting date of the Statement of Financial Position. Valuation techniques are also used for the valuation of non-traded securities as well as for derivatives on nontrade securities. In this case, the techniques used are more complex and apart from market data, they include assumptions and estimates for the future cash flows of the security. The estimated future cash flows are based upon Management's best estimates and the discount rate used is the market rate for an instrument having the same attributes and risks.
In some cases, the valuations derived from the generally accepted methods for valuation of securities are adjusted to reflect factors which are taken into consideration by the market in order to value a security, such as business risk and marketability risk.
The method used to determine fair value for financial instruments that are valued using valuation models is described below. These models include the Group's assessment of the assumptions an investor would use in performing a fair value valuation and are selected based on the specific characteristics of each investment.
The Company, in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 9 at the end of each reporting period of the financial statements performs the calculations required in relation to the determination of the fair value of its financial instruments. Investments in listed shares in domestic and foreign stock exchanges are valued based on the quoted market prices for these shares. Investments in non-listed shares are valued based on generally accepted valuation models which sometimes incorporate data based on observable market inputs and sometimes are based on unobservable data.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is presented in the statement of Financial Position when the Group has a legally enforceable right and intends to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously on a net amount basis.
Income and expenses are offset only if such an act is permitted by the standards or when they refer to gains or losses that arose from a group of similar transactions such as trading portfolio transactions.
The Group as part of the impairment tests at the end of each financial year:
Following standard practice, the Group retests the assumptions of the business plans on each interim reporting date of the financial statements, using as base the business plan drawn up at the end of the previous annual reporting period and which relates to subsequent financial periods with a five-year horizon.
For impairment measurement purposes, assets are classified into smaller groups of assets that can generate cash flows independently from other assets or Cash Generating Units of the Group (CGU). As result, certain assets are tested for impairment on their own while others at Cash Generating Unit level. Goodwill is allocated to such Cash Generating Units, from which it is expected that benefits will arise from synergies relating to business combinations, and which represent the smaller level within the Group, where the Management monitors goodwill.
Cash Generating Units, to which goodwill has been allocated, are subjected to impairment testing, at least on an annual basis. All other separate assets or Cash Generating Units are subject to impairment testing when events or changes in conditions indicate that their book value may not be recoverable.
An impairment loss is recognized for the amount where the book value of an asset or a Cash Generating Unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the highest between fair value less sale costs and value in use. In order to define value in use, the Management defines the estimated cash flows for every Cash Generating Unit, defining a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the current value of these cash flows. The data used for the impairment test arise directly from recent calculations, approved by the Management, suitably adjusted in order not to include future reorganizations and improvements of assets. Discount factors are defined separately for every Cash Generating Unit and reflect the corresponding risk elements, defined by the Management on an individual basis.
The Cash Generating Units' impairment loss firstly decrease the book value of goodwill, allocated to them. The remaining impairment loss is charged pro rata to the other assets of each Cash
Generating Unit. With the exception of goodwill, all assets are subsequently reassessed for indications that the previously recognized impairment loss no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if the recoverable amount of a Cash Generating Unit exceeds its carrying value.
The Group and the Company recognize impairment provisions for expected credit losses of all financial assets except for those measured at fair value through profit and loss.
The purpose of IFRS 9 's impairment requirements is to recognize expected credit losses over the financial asset 's lifetime, whose credit risk has raised after initial recognition, regardless if the assessment is at a collective or standalone level, using all information which can be collected, based on both historical and current data as well, but also data in respect of reasonable and supportable forecasts.
In applying the above mentioned approach a distinction is made between:
o financial instruments that have not deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition or that have low credit risk ('Stage 1')
o financial instruments that have deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition and whose credit risk is not low ('Stage 2'), and
o financial instruments that have objective evidence of impairment at the reporting date. (Stage 3).
For financial instruments of Stage 1 12-month expected credit losses' are recognized while for financial assets of Stage 2 or Stage 3 expected credit losses' are recognized over their lifetime.
Credit losses are defined as the difference between all the contractual cash flows that are due to and the cash flows that actually expect to be received by the Group or the Company. This difference is discounted at the original effective interest rate of financial asset.
The Group and the Company apply the simplified approach of this Standard for assets instruments from contracts, trade receivables and leases receivables by calculating the expected credit losses over the lifetime of abovementioned instruments. In this case, the expected credit losses reflect the expected shortfalls in contractual cash flows, considering the potential for default at any point during the life of the financial instrument. In calculating the expected credit losses, the Group uses a provision matrix in which the above mentioned financial instruments have been grouped in regard of balances' nature and ageing and by taking into account available historical data in respect of the debtors, adjusted with future factors related to debtors and financial environment.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Euro, which is the functional currency and the Group's reporting currency.
The assets and liabilities in the financial statements, including goodwill and fair value adjustments due to business combinations, of the foreign subsidiaries, are converted into Euro by using the exchange rates applicable on the Statement of Financial Position reporting date. Revenues and expenses have been converted into the Group's reporting currency by using the average exchange rates prevailing during the financial year. Any differences arising from the said procedure have been debited / (credited) to the "FX translation reserve" account of the subsidiaries' while it's recognized in other income in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Upon selling, elimination or derecognition of a foreign subsidiary the above FX translation reserve is transferred to the Income Statement of the period.
Foreign currency transactions are converted into the functional currency by using the exchange rates applicable on the date when the said transactions were performed. The monetary assets and liabilities which are denominated in foreign currency are converted into the Group's functional currency on the Statement of Financial Position reporting date using the prevailing exchange rate on that day. Any gains or losses due to translation differences that result from the settlement of such transactions during the period, as well as from the conversion of monetary assets denominated in foreign currency based on the prevailing exchange rates on the Statement of Financial Position reporting date, are recognized in the Income Statement.
The non-monetary assets which are denominated in foreign currency and which are measured at fair value are converted into the Group's functional currency using the prevailing exchange rate on the date of their fair value measurement. The FX translation differences from non-monetary items measured at fair value are considered as part of the fair value and thus are recorded in the same account as the fair value differences. In the case where currency risk is effectively hedged for nonmonetary assets that are valued as available for sale, the part of the change in their fair value which is attributed to currency fluctuations is recognized in the Income Statement for the reporting period.
Gains or losses deriving from transactions in foreign currency as well as from the end of period valuation of monetary assets, denominated in foreign currency, which meet the criteria for cash flow hedges are recognized in other comprehensive income and cumulatively in equity.
Tangible fixed assets are recognized in the financial statements at cost, less accumulated depreciation and any potential impairment losses. The acquisition cost includes all direct costs stemming from the acquisition of the assets.
Subsequent expenses are recorded as an increase in the book value of tangible assets or as a separate asset only to the degree that the said expenses increase the future financial gains anticipated from the use of the fixed asset and their cost can be measured reliably.
The cost of repair and maintenance works is recognized in the Income Statement when the said works are realized.
The depreciation of tangible fixed assets (excluding land, which is not depreciated) is calculated based on the straight-line method over their estimated useful life as follows:
| Tangible assets | Useful life (in years) |
|---|---|
| Buildings | 50-60 |
| Building facilities | 11 |
| Machinery and other equipment | 10-20 |
| Vehicles | 5-16 |
| Passenger vessels | 35 |
| High speed vessels - catamaran | 25 |
| Ηydrofoil-flying dolphins | 15 |
| Vessels additions and improvements | 5 |
| Port facilities | 10 |
| Other equipment | 3-10 |
The residual value and the useful life of each asset are re-assessed at the end of every financial year.
In the context of acquisition of HSW as at 31/05/2018 and the harmonization of the accounting estimates of the Group, the Management reassessed the useful lives of all vessels taking into account paragraphs 56-57 of IAS 16 "Property, plant and Equipment" as well as the current reality
regarding the useful life of a vessel, in particular its technical characteristics, level of maintenance, maintenance practice traditionally applied by ATTICA group, and the vessel's activity plan. The useful life of conventional vessels was set at 35 years versus 30 years, while regarding speedboats and dolphins – at 25 and 15 years respectively. The Management estimates that the change in the accounting estimate is reasonable and is within the framework of the competition. The positive effect from the above change, recorded in the Income Statement of the Group for FY 2018, stood at to € 4,384k.
When the book values of the tangible fixed assets are higher than their recoverable value, then the difference (impairment) is recognized directly as an expense in the Income Statement. Upon sale of tangible assets, the differences between the sale price and their book value are recognized as profits or losses in the Income Statement.
Intangible assets include mainly software licenses, rights, and trademarks. Furthermore, in the consolidated financial statements intangible assets are recognized at fair value which had not been previously recognized in the financial statements of the acquired companies.
An intangible asset is initially recognized at cost. The cost of an intangible asset which was acquired in a business combination is the fair value of the asset on the purchase date.
Following initial recognition, the intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any impairment loss. Amortization is recorded based on the straight-line method during the useful life of the said assets. With exception to some trademarks for which it was estimated that they have an indefinite useful life all other intangible assets have a finite useful life which is between 3 and 20 years. The period and method of amortization is redefined at least at the end of every reporting period.
The maintenance of software programs is recognized as an expense when the expense is realized. In the contrary, the costs incurred for improving or prolonging the return of software programs beyond their initial technical specifications, or respectively the costs incurred for the modification of the software, are incorporated in the acquisition cost of the intangible asset, only if they can be measured reliably.
Trademarks are measured at cost less their accumulated amortization and any impairment losses. Furthermore, trademarks are recognized at fair value based on the purchase price allocation (PPA) into the assets and liabilities of the acquired company.
The cost of trademarks includes initial set up expenses as well as expenses relating to their registration in Greece and abroad.
Customer relations are measured at fair value based on the Purchase Price Allocation of the assets and liabilities of the acquired company.
Licenses are recognized at fair value based on the allocation procedures regarding the consideration effective under acquisition of assets and liabilities of acquirers. Licenses recognized when allocating acquisition costs have indefinite useful life and are tested for impairment in every reporting period.
The research cost is recognized as an expense in the Statement of Comprehensive Income upon its realization. Development costs are incurred mainly for the development of new products and software development. The R&D costs are recognized as intangible assets only when the provisions of IAS 38 "Intangible assets" are met. Development costs which were recorded in previous periods as expenses are not recognized as intangible assets in a subsequent period, even if it arises that the particular software development will bring future economic benefits.
Industrial property rights include acquisition of copyrights for software sale and are measured at acquisition cost less amortization and potential impairment losses. Amortization is calculated under the straight line method within the duration of the assets useful life.
Below is a summary of the policies adopted regarding the useful life of the Group's intangible assets:
| Intangible assets | Duration | Useful life (in years) |
|---|---|---|
| Brand / Trade names | Defined | 10-20 |
| Software | Defined | 3-8 |
| Research & development cost | Defined | 4-8 |
| Industrial property rights | Defined | 5 |
| Lease rights | Defined | Leasing period |
| Trade names: SingularLogic | Indefinite | - |
| Trade names: Blue Star Ferries, Superfast, Hellenic Seaways | Indefinite | - |
| Trade names: Delta, Vlachas, Milko, Vitaline, Advance, Life, Barba Stathis, Vereia, Fibella, Everest, La Pasteria, Goody's, Flocafe |
Indefinite | - |
Goodwill arises upon the acquisition of subsidiaries and associates.
Goodwill is the difference between the acquisition cost and the fair value of the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed of the acquired entity on the date of the acquisition. In the case where a subsidiary is acquired, goodwill is presented as a separate asset, whereas in the case of an associate acquisition, goodwill is included in the Group's investment in associates account.
On the date of acquisition (or on the date of completion of the purchase price allocation), the goodwill is allocated to the Cash Generating Units or to the group of Cash Generating Units which are expected to benefit from this business combination. Following the initial recognition, the goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated losses due to its impairment. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested on a yearly basis or more regularly if events or changes in conditions indicate that there might be a possible impairment loss (please refer to Note 4.3.1 in respect of the procedures followed for a goodwill impairment test).
If part of a Cash Generating Unit, to which goodwill has been allocated, is sold, then the amount of goodwill corresponding to the sold part is included in the book value of the asset in order to calculate the profit or loss. The amount of goodwill apportioned to the sold part is assessed based on the relevant values of the part sold as well as on the remaining part of the Cash Generating Unit.
Investment property relates to investments in properties which are held (either through acquisitions or through leasing) by the Group, either to generate rent from its lease or for the increase in its value (increased capital) or for both purposes and are not held: a) to be used for production or
distribution of raw materials / services or for administrative purposes; and b) for the sale as part of the company's ordinary activities.
Investment property is initially valued at purchase cost including transaction expenses. Subsequently, it is measured at fair value. Independent appraisers with adequate experience in the location and in the nature of investment properties measure the fair value.
The book value recognized in the Group's Financial Statements reflects the market conditions on the date of the reporting date of the Statement Financial Position. Every profit or loss derived from the fair value revaluations of the investment is recognized in the Income Statement for the period in which it has been recognized (for the result recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income for the presented period please refer to note 15).
Properties which are under construction or utilized in order to be used as investment properties in the future are included in investment properties account. In the case where the company is not in a position to measure the fair value of the property which is under construction, but expects to be in a position to measure its fair value upon completion, the investment property under construction will be measured at cost up to the time when it will be feasible to measure the fair value or when the construction will be complete.
Property transfers from investment property to fixed assets take place only when there is a change in the use of the said property which is proven by the Group's own use of the property or by the Group's commencement to develop this property for sale.
An investment property is derecognized (eliminated from the Statement of Financial Position) when it is sold, it is permanently retired or when the investment is not expected to generate future economic benefits from its sale. The profits or losses from the retirement or sale of investment properties are derived from the difference of the net proceeds from the sale and the book value of the asset and are recognized in the Income Statement for the period in which the asset was sold or withdrawn.
Inventory is valued at the lowest price between cost and net liquidation value. The cost of finished and semi-finished products includes all costs incurred to obtain and process up to their current state and it includes raw materials, labor costs, general industrial expenses (based on normal operating capacity but excluding cost of debt) and packaging costs. The cost of raw material and of finished products is defined according to the average cost.
The net realizable value of finished and semi-finished products is the estimated selling price during the ordinary operations of the Group minus the estimated costs for their completion and the estimated costs for their sale. The net liquidation value of raw material is the estimated replacement cost during the Company's ordinary operations. A provision for slow-moving or impaired inventories is formed when necessary.
Finance leases of fixed assets where all the risks and rewards related to the ownership of an asset have been transferred to the Company or the Group, are capitalized at the start of the lease at the asset's fair value or if it is lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The finance lease payments are apportioned to the financial expenses and the decrease of financial liability in order to achieve a fixed interest rate in the remaining balance of the liability. The financial expenses
are recognized in the Income Statement. The capitalized leased assets are depreciated based on the shortest period between the expected useful life of the asset and the duration of the lease.
Leases where the lessee maintains all the risks and benefits of owning the asset are recognized as operating lease payments. The operating lease payments are recognized as an expense in the Income Statement on a constant basis during the lease term.
For sale and leaseback transactions which constitute finance leases, any positive difference from the sale of the asset with respect to its book value is not recognized immediately as income from the Company but is rather recognized as deferred income in the financial statements which is amortized over the lease's duration.
If the fair value of the asset during its sale and leaseback is lower than its book value, then the loss derived from the difference between the book value and the fair value is not immediately recognized, except if the asset is impaired in which case the asset's book value is decreased to its recoverable value according to IAS 36.
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted deposits include cash in hand, sight deposits, term deposits, bank overdrafts and other highly liquid investments that are directly convertible into particular amounts of cash equivalents which are not subject to significant value change risk. They also include separately the Group's and the Company's blocked deposits.
For purposes of preparing the consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in hand, bank deposits as well as cash equivalents as defined above.
The share capital is defined according to the nominal value of the shares issued by the Company. A share capital increase by cash payment includes every share premium at the initial share capital issuance.
Expenses directly related to a share capital increase are shown subtracted from equity after deducting tax.
Shareholders dividends are recognized as a liability within the financial year approved by the General Meeting of the Company's Shareholders.
Parent company shares owned by the Parent or its subsidiaries are recognized at acquisition cost, are included in the 'Treasury Shares' account and are subtracted from the Parent Company's equity until they are cancelled, reissued or resold. Treasury share acquisition cost includes transaction expenditures, after excluding the corresponding income tax. The Parent Company's treasury shares do not reduce the number of outstanding shares; they do, nevertheless, affect the number of shares included in the earnings per share calculation. The Parent Company's treasury shares are not entitled to a dividend. The difference between the acquisition cost and the final price from reselling (or reissuing) the treasury shares is recognized in equity and is not included in the net result for the financial year. On 31/12/2018, the Group did not hold any treasury shares.
The income tax charge includes current taxes, deferred tax and the differences of preceding financial years' tax audits.
Current tax is calculated based on the tax statements of Financial Position from each one of the companies included in the consolidated Financial Statements, according to the tax laws applicable in Greece or other tax regulations applicable for foreign subsidiaries. The income tax expense includes income tax based on each company's profits as presented on their tax declarations and provisions for additional taxes and is calculated based on the dully or in principal constituted tax rates.
Deferred taxes are the taxes or the tax reliefs from the financial encumbrances or benefits of the financial year in question, which have been allocated or shall be allocated to different financial years by the tax authorities. Deferred income tax is determined under the liability method deriving from the temporary differences between the book value and tax base of assets and liabilities. There is no deferred income tax if it derives from the initial recognition of an asset or liability at a transaction, other than at a business combination, and the recognition did not affect either the accounting or the tax profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured in accordance with the tax rates in effect in the financial year during which an asset or a liability shall be settled, taking into account the tax rates (and tax regulations) which have been or are effectively in force until the Statement of Financial Position reporting date. In case where it is not possible to clearly determine the time needed to reverse the temporary differences, the tax rate applied is the one in force in the day after the Statement of Financial Position reporting date.
Deferred tax assets are recognized when there is taxable income and a temporary difference which creates a deferred tax asset. Deferred tax assets are re-examined on each reporting date and are decreased to the extent where there won't be sufficient taxable income to allow the utilization of the benefit as a whole or in part of the deferred tax asset.
Deferred income tax is recognized for the temporary differences derived from investments in subsidiaries and associates, except in the case whereby the temporary differences reversal is controlled by the Group and is probable that the temporary differences will not be reversed in the foreseeable future.
Most changes in the deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized as part of the tax expenses in the Income Statement for the financial year. Only those changes in assets and liabilities which affect the temporary differences are recognized directly in the Group's equity resulting in the relative change in deferred tax assets or liabilities to be recognized in equity.
According to Law 27/1975, Article 6, shipping companies under a Greek flag pay tax for their vessels irrespective of whether they have profits or losses based on gross registered tonnage. In essence, this is income tax which is readjusted according to the aforementioned law provisions.
By the payment of the aforementioned tax, every liability relating to income tax from shipping activities is settled. In this case, a permanent difference is created between accounting and taxable income, as a result the difference is not taken into account in the calculation of deferred tax.
In this case we calculate the total income by adding the income from non-shipping activities. Nonvessel expenses are allocated based on the gross registered tonnage of each vessel.
The amount of profits that results from the above apportionment and relates to non-shipping activities is taxed according to the general tax regulations.
Government grants related to grants for assets are recognized at fair value when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and that all the relevant conditions attached will be met.
These grants are recognized as deferred income, which is recognized in the profits or loss of each reporting period in equal instalments based on the useful life of the asset after deducting all related depreciation expenses.
Grants relating to expenses are recognized after deducting all the relevant expenses during the period required for their systematic correlation with subsidized expenses.
Short-term Benefits: Short-term benefits to personnel (except for termination of employment benefits) in cash and in kind are recognized as an expense when considered accrued. Any unpaid amount is recognized as a liability, whereas in case the amount already paid exceeds the benefits' amount, the entity identifies the excess as an asset (prepaid expense) only to the extent that the prepayment shall lead to a future payments' reduction or refund.
Retirement Benefits: Benefits following termination of employment include lump-sum severance grants, pensions and other benefits paid to employees after termination of employment in exchange for their service. The Group's liabilities for retirement benefits cover both defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans.
The defined contribution plan's accrued cost is recognized as an expense in the financial year where it relates. Pension plans adopted by the Group are partly financed through payments to insurance companies or state social security funds.
Defined contribution plans pertain to contribution payment to Social Security Organizations and therefore, the Group does not have any legal obligation in case the Fund is incapable of paying a pension to the insured person. The employer's obligation is limited to paying the employer's contributions to the Funds. The payable contribution by the Group in a defined contribution plan is identified as a liability after the deduction of the paid contribution, while accrued contributions are recognized as an expense in the Income Statement.
Under Laws 2112/20 and 4093/2012, the Company must pay compensation upon retirement or termination to its employees. The amount of compensation paid depends on the years of service, the level of wages and the way of leaving service (dismissal or retirement). The entitlement to participate in these plans is usually based on years of service of the employee until retirement.
The liability recognized in the Statement of financial Position for defined benefit plans is the present value of the liability for the defined benefit less the plan assets' fair value (reserve from payments to an insurance company), the changes deriving from any actuarial profit or loss and the service cost. The defined benefit commitment is calculated on an annual basis by an independent actuary through the use of the projected unit credit method. Regarding FY 2018, the selected rate
follows the tendency of iBoxx AA Corporate Overall 10+ EUR indices, which is regarded as consistent with the provisions of IAS 19, i.e. is based on bonds corresponding to the currency and the estimated term relative to employee benefits as well as appropriate for long-term provisions.
A defined benefit plan establishes, based on various parameters, such as age, years of service and salary, the specific obligations for payable benefits. Provisions for the period are included in the relative staff costs in the accompanying separate and consolidated Income Statements and comprise of the current and past service cost, the relative financial cost, the actuarial gains or losses and any possible additional charges. Regarding unrecognized actuarial gains or losses, the revised IAS 19 is applied, which includes a number of changes to accounting for defined benefit plans, including:
The Group grants remuneration to personnel through equity instruments. In particular, the Group grants to personnel, based on a stock option plan approved by the General Shareholders Meeting, stock options for the acquisition of Parent Company shares.
These benefits are settled through issuing new shares by the Parent Company, on condition that the employee fulfils certain vesting conditions linked to his/her performance and exercises his/her options.
Services rendered by employees are measured according to the fair value of the options granted on the grant date. The option's fair value is calculated by using a widely accepted option-pricing model and taking into account the share's closing price on grant date. The options' fair values, following their issue, are readjusted in case there is a modification in the plan in favor of the employees. The fair value of services rendered is recognized as an expense in the Income Statement by an equal credit in equity, in the share premium account. The relevant amount is proportioned throughout the vesting period and is calculated on the basis of the number of options set to be vest in each year.
During the exercise of the stock options, the net collected amount (after subtracting direct costs) is recognized in share capital (new shares nominal value) and in share premium (difference between the stock option exercise price and the share's nominal value).
As of 31/12/2018, there is no active stock option plan for the Group and the Company.
Provisions are recognized when the Group has present legal or imputed liabilities as a result of past events; their settlement is possible through resources' outflow and the exact liability amount can be reliably estimated. The provisions are reviewed on the date of the Financial Statements and are adjusted accordingly to reflect the present value of the expense expected for the settlement of the liability. Restructuring provisions are identified only if there is a detailed restructuring plan and if Management has informed the affected parties on the plan's key points. When the effect of the time value of money is significant, the provision is calculated as the present value of the expenses expected to be incurred in order to settle this liability.
If it is no longer probable that an outflow will be required in order to settle a liability for which a provision has been formed, then it is reversed.
In cases where the outflow due to current commitments is considered improbable or the provision amount cannot be reliably estimated, no liability is recognized in the financial statements.
Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the financial statements but are disclosed except if the probability of an outflow, which encompasses economic benefits, is scarce. Possible inflows from economic benefits for the Group which do not meet the criteria of an asset are considered a contingent asset and are disclosed when the inflow of the economic benefits is probable.
Recognition and measurement of revenues from contracts with customers, the new Standard establishes a new model which includes a 5-step process.
Transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties (value added tax, other taxes on sales). If the amount of consideration is variable, then the Group estimates the amount of consideration which will be entitled for transferring promised goods or services with the method of expected value or the method of most probable amount. Transaction price, usually, is allocated to the each performance obligations on the base of relevant stand-alone selling prices of promised contract, distinct good or service.
Revenues are recognized when the performance obligations are satisfied, either at a point in time (usually for obligations relevant to transfer of goods at a client) or over time (usually for obligations relevant to transfer of services to a client).
The Group recognizes a contractual obligation for amounts received from clients (prepayments) in respect of performance obligations which have not been fulfilled, as well when it retains right on an amount of consideration which is unreserved (deferred income) before the execution of contract 's performance obligations and the transfer of goods or services. The contractual obligation is derecognized when the performance obligations have been executed and the revenue has been recognized in Income Statement.
The Group recognizes trade receivable when exists an unconditional right to receive an amount of consideration for executed performance obligations of the contract to the client. Respectively the Group recognizes an asset from contracts when it has satisfied the performance obligations, before client 's payment or before become due the payment, for example when the goods or the services are transferred to the client before the Group 's right to issue the invoice.
Revenue recognition become as follows:
Revenues from governing grants from barren lines itineraries are recognized during the period they occur and included in Sales.
Customers have the obligation to pay in installments the price based on the contractual terms. In the occasion of multiple performance obligations contracts, the Group recognizes the deliverables according to the contract (services, equipment etc.) and allocates the price among them using the method of relevant fair value.
During the adoption of IFRS 15, in the cases of multiple performance obligations contracts the individual performance obligations are defined from inception and in continuance the transaction price is allocated in accordance with the individual transaction prices of the performance obligations that have been recognized. Revenue from software maintenance services provided is recognized over time and the proportion of hours spent in current period to the total hours as prescribed to be spent in accordance with the contractual terms.
Revenue recognition over time based on the measurement of progress to the full completion of a performance obligation it depends on estimates related with the total inflows required for the accomplishment of performance obligation (e.g. overall budgeted contractual cost). In occasions where the Group cannot fairly measure the outcome of a performance obligation (e.g. during the initial stages of a contract) it proceeds with an estimate of the outcome to the extent that the cost incurred is supposed to be recovered, while cost is recognized in the income statement of the period incurred.
Dividends are recognized as income upon establishing their collection right.
Group included fees for medical services and hospitals, health and pharmaceutical equipment. Revenue was calculated according to the approved pricelists per contractor (E.O.P.Y.Y. individuals, insurance companies) and was recognized during the period when the services were rendered based on the amounts expected to be received by the counterparties.
The interest expense is recognized on an accrual basis.
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset, which will require considerable time until the asset is ready for the suggested use or disposal, form part of the acquisition cost of that asset until the asset it ready for the suggested use or disposal. In other cases, the borrowing costs burden profit or loss of the period when incurred.
A discontinued operation is a component of the Group that is either disposed of or classified as held for sale and
Profit or loss from discontinued operations, including profit or loss of the comparative period are presented as a separate line in the Income Statement. This amount constitutes the after tax results of discontinued operations and after-tax profit or loss resulting from the valuation and disposal of the assets classified as held for sale (please refer to Note 7).
The disclosures of discontinued operations of the comparative period include disclosures for earlier periods presented in Financial Statements so that the disclosures relate to all the operations that have been discontinued until the last date of the latest period presented. In cases where operations, previously classified as discontinued operations, are now continuing operations, disclosures of the prior periods are adjusted accordingly.
Basic earnings per share (Basic EPS) are calculated by dividing the profit after tax that is attributable to the shareholders of the parent company with the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, excluding the average number of ordinary shares acquired as treasury shares.
Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing the profit after tax that is attributable to the shareholders of the parent company (after adjusting for the post tax interest expense of the
convertible securities) with the weighted average number of ordinary shares during the period (adjusted for diluted shares).
The weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the accounting period as well as during all presented accounting periods is adjusted in relation to the events that have altered the number of outstanding ordinary shares without the corresponding alteration of the resources.
The Company's BoD is the main corporate body responsible for business decision-making. The BoD reviews all of the internal financial reports in order to assess the Company's and Group's performance and resolve upon the allocation of resources. The Management has set the operating segments based on the said internal reports. The BoD uses different criteria in order to assess the Group's activities which vary according to the nature of each segment, taking into consideration the risks involved and their cash requirements.
MIG's operating segments are defined as the segments in which the Group operates and on which the Group's management information systems are based.
It should be noted that due to the aggregation criteria and the nature of MIG's activities (buyouts and equity investments) some of the subsidiaries present or may present similar performance on a long-term basis as if they were operating in the same segment and hence are aggregated and considered as one operating segment. For the segmentation, the following have been taken into consideration:
Following the application of IFRS 8 and based on the Management's approach have been identified five operating segments. The operating segments of the Group and the main consolidated companies (subsidiaries and associates) per presented operating segment are presented below:
* The results of MIG LEISURE and CTDC are presented in discontinued operations.
The Group classifies a long-term asset or a group of long-term assets and liabilities as those held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use.
The basic requirements in order to classify a long-term asset or group of assets as held for sale is that the asset (or group of assets) must be available for sale in its present condition while the sale
should be subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets, and must also be highly probable.
For the sale to be highly probable, all of the following are to apply:
Immediately before the initial classification of the asset (or group of assets and liabilities) as held for sale, the carrying amount of the asset (or group of assets and liabilities) will be measured in accordance with applicable IFRS.
Long-term assets (or group of assets and liabilities) classified as held for sale are measured (after the initial classification as mentioned above) at the lower of their carrying amounts and fair values less costs to sell and the impairment losses are recorded in the Income Statement. Any increase in fair value under a subsequent valuation is recorded in the Income Statement but not for an amount exceeding the cumulative impairment loss that had been initially recognized.
Starting from the date a long-term asset (or group of assets) is classified as held for sale, depreciation is not recognized on such asset. As at 31/12/2018, the Group had not classified longtern assets or disposal assets groups in this category (see Note 7).
The composition of the Financial Statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) requires the Management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions which affect assets and liabilities, contingent receivables and liabilities disclosures as well as revenue and expenses during the periods presented.
In particular, amounts included in or affecting the financial statements, as well as the related disclosures, are estimated through making assumptions about values or conditions that cannot be known with certainty at the time of preparation of the financial statements and therefore actual results may differ from what has been estimated. An accounting estimate is considered significant when it is material to the financial position and income statement of the Group and requires the most difficult, subjective or complex judgements of the management.
Estimates and judgments of the Management are based on past experience and other factors, including expectations for future events that are deemed to be reasonable in the circumstances, and are constantly reassessed on the basis of all available information. The Group assesses such estimates on an ongoing basis, based on historical results and experience, holding meetings with experts, trends and other methods that are considered reasonable in the circumstances, as well as projections regarding their potential change in the future.
At initial recognition, the assets and liabilities of the acquired business are included in the consolidated Financial Statements at their fair value. Upon fair values measurements, the Management makes estimates on future cash flows; however, actual results may differ. Any change
in the measurement after the initial recognition will affect the measurement of goodwill. Details on the acquired assets and liabilities are analyzed in Note 6.
The Group conducts a related impairment test of investments in subsidiaries and associates whenever there is evidence of impairment in accordance with the provisions of IAS 36. If it is established that there are reasons for impairment, it is necessary to calculate value in use and fair value less costs to sell regarding every CGU. Recoverable amounts of CGUs are determined for impairment tests purposes, based on the value in use calculation, which requires making estimates.
For the purpose of calculating value in use, estimated cash flows are discounted to their present value using a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money as well as the risks associated with particular CGU. Calculation uses cash projections based on business-approved business plans. These business plans and cash flow projections usually cover a five-year period. Cash flows beyond the period when projections are available are projected at the estimated growth rates. The key assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount of various CGUs and sensitivity analyzes are reported in Note 10 to the Financial Statements.
The Group carries out the relevant impairment test on goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful life derived from subsidiaries and associates, at least on an annual basis or in case of an indication for impairment, according to IAS 36. In order to determine whether there is impairment evidence, the value in use as well as the fair value less the sale cost of the business unit must be calculated. Usually, methods such as present value of estimated cash flows are used along with valuations based on similar transactions or companies trading in active markets and the stock quotation. For the application of these methods, the Management is required to use information such as the subsidiary's forecasted future profitability, business plans as well as market data such as interest rates etc. (for further information please refer to notes 10 and 38 to Financial Statements).
Tangible assets are tested for impairment in case of events or changes in the circumstances suggesting that the accounting value may not be recoverable. In order to estimate the current value in use, the Management estimates future cash flows arising from the asset or cash generating unit and chooses the suitable discount rate in order to estimate the present value of the future cash flows (further information is provided in Note 9).
The Management examines the useful life of depreciated assets every financial year. On 31/12/2018, the Management estimates that the useful lives represent the anticipated remaining useful life of the assets.
The calculation of the fair value of financial assets and liabilities for which there are no public market prices, requires the use of specific valuation techniques. The measurement of their fair value requires different types of estimates. The most important estimates include the assessment of different risks to which the instrument is exposed to such as business risk, liquidity risk etc., and the assessment of the future profitability prospects in the case of equity securities valuation.
Impairment of financial assets is based on assumptions regarding default risk and percentages of expected credit losses. In particular, the Group's Management applies judgments under selecting such assumptions, as well as under selecting the inflows for the our poses of calculating
impairment, based on the historical data, the current market conditions and the projections for the future financial sizes at the end of the reporting period.
Regarding contractual assets, trade receivables and leases, the simplified approach of IFRS 9 is applied, calculating the expected credit losses over the life of those items using a table of projections. This table is based on historical data but is adjusted in such a way that it should reflect the projections for the future economic environment. The correlation between the historical data, the future financial conditions and the expected credit needs making significant estimates. The amount of expected credit losses depends to a large extent on changes in the circumstances and the projections of the future financial conditions. Moreover, historical data and projections for the future may not lead to conclusions indicative of the actual amount of default on customer liabilities in the future (further information is provided in Notes 4.3.2 and 19).
The Group uses derivatives to manage a series of risks including risks relevant to interest rates, foreign currency and prices of goods. In order to assess the effectiveness of a hedging procedure, the Group is required to firstly state its hedging strategy and then to assess that the hedge will be effective throughout the duration of the hedging instrument (derivative). See further information on derivatives in Note 28.
The provision for income tax based on IAS 12 is calculated by estimating the taxes to be paid to tax authorities and includes the current income tax for every financial year and a provision for additional taxes that might emerge in tax audits.
The Group's companies are subject to various income taxation legislations. To determine the total provision for income tax, as presented in the Statement of Financial Position, significant estimates are required. For specific transactions and calculations, the final tax determination is uncertain. The Group recognizes liabilities for the forecasted tax issues based on calculations as to the extent to which additional tax will arise. In cases where the final tax amount differs from what had been initially recognized, the differences affect the provisions for income tax and deferred tax for the period when it had been determined (for further information please refer to Note 42).
A deferred tax asset is recognized for all unused taxable losses to the extent that it will be possible to have sufficient tax gains to be offset with taxable losses. In order to determine the amount of a deferred tax asset for recognition, significant judgments and estimates are required from the Group's Management, based on future tax profits combined with future tax strategies to be pursued (for further information please refer to Note 17).
Estimates relating to fair value measurement of investment property are determined based on appraisal reports carried out by independent real estate appraisal firm, which assess the fair value of investment property according to international accepted appraisal methods. The most appropriate indication of fair value is the existing current values in an active market for relevant rental and other agreements. In case that the abovementioned information is not available, the value is determined through a range of reasonable estimates of fair values. In most cases, Discounted Cash Flows was assessed as the most appropriate valuation method, since the real estate properties are held by the Group for investment purposes and they are already leased or planned to be leased. Discounted cash flows models are based on reliable estimates of future cash flows, which derive from the lease terms of existing rentals and (where possible) from external data, such as current rentals for similar properties in the same location and condition, using discount rates which depict the current market estimate regarding the uncertainty of the amount and timing of these cash flows.
The application of discounted cash flow models, involves the use of assumptions to estimate fair value, which are relate to: receipt of contractual rentals, expected future market rentals, vacancy periods, maintenance expenses and appropriate discount rates. Further information regarding the key assumptions are included in note 47.2.
The provision amount for personnel compensation is based on an actuarial study. The actuary's study includes specific assumptions on discount rate, employees' remuneration increase rate, consumer price index increase and the expected remaining working life. The assumptions used are imbedded with significant uncertainty and the Group's Management continuously reassesses these assumptions (for further information please refer to Note 24).
The Group makes estimates regarding the outcome of construction contracts and the total estimated contract cost based on which the completion percentage is calculated. Where the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably (e.g. the construction contracts are at an early stage), then the Group reviews the results to the extent that the incurred costs are likely to be recovered, while the costs are recognized in the Income Statement of the period they are incurred.
The recognition of expenses attributable to the development of the Group software programs as intangible assets is made only when it is probable that the future economic benefits of the intangible assets will flow to the entity. Under the assessment of future economic benefits, the Group takes into account the technical ability to complete the intangible asset so that it is available for sale or use, the existence of a market for the product produced by the intangible asset or, if it is going to be used internally, the usefulness of the intangible asset as well as the possibility of a reliable cost measurement which will be attributed to the intangible asset during the period of its development.
The Group is involved in court claims and compensations during its ordinary activities. The Management judges that any settlement would not significantly influence the Group's financial position on 31/12/2018. The Management assesses the outcome of pending legal cases, according to information received from the Legal Department and collaborating legal offices. Such information arises from the recent developments in the legal cases they handle. If it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the liability and the amount can be estimated reliably, the Management will make the necessary provisions. Defining the amount necessary to settle the liability is based on the Management's estimates and a number of factors that require judgment. Changes in judgments or estimates are likely to result in an increase or decrease in the Group's liabilities in the future. When additional information becomes available, the Group's Management reviews the events, based on which it might have to review its estimates (see Note 46.3).
In implementing the requirements of IAS 17 regarding the classification of leases, there are cases where a transaction is not always conclusive. In these cases, the Management uses estimates to determine whether a lease transfers substantially all risks and rewards of ownership from the lessee to the lessor.
With the unanimous decision of the Plenary Session of the Competition Commission no 658/2018 (April 2018) it was decided to approve the notified concentration concerning the acquisition of sole control by ATTICA group of HSW.
The approval of the Competition Commission was made after commitments by ATTICA group, which, in the opinion of the Commission, are adequate, sufficient and proportionate to ensure a healthy competition on Greek Ferries. The commitments are described in detail in the Press Release issued by the Competition Commission.
Within May 2018, ATTICA group completed the acquisition of the majority of shares (50.3%) HSW in the framework of the agreement of 11/08/2017 with PIRAEUS BANK S.A. which is the other minority shareholder of HSW, as applicable, for the acquisition of a total of 39,039,833 shares of HSW for a total consideration of € 64.4m.
Part of the price, amounting to € 30.61m, was paid in cash by ATTICA group's own funds, while the remaining amount due to the sellers was agreed to be repaid with the delivery to them of a total of 24,145,523 new shares of ATTICA.
By the decision of the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders at 26/06/2018, it was decided to increase the share capital of ATTICA by an amount of € 7,243,656.90 through the issue of 24,145,523 common registered shares of a nominal value of € 0.30 and a disposal price 1.80 each, by capitalizing claims of PIRAEUS BANK S.A. and one other minority shareholder of HSW. It was also decided to abolish the pre-emption rights of the old shareholders to this increase in order for the new shares to be distributed to HSW's shareholders. Following the increase in the share capital of ΑTTICA and abolition of the relevant pre-emptive rights and capitalization of receivables, direct and indirect participating interest of MIG Group in ΑΤΤΙCA decreased from 89.38% to 79.38%.
Through the acquisition of control over HSW, ATTICA group will achieve the critical size needed to compete successfully with the major European companies in the industry. ATTICA group establishes the basis for its long-term viability and the attraction of capital needed for new investments, the development of activities and the strengthening of its capital structure.
The goodwill arising from the above acquisition included in the balance sheet item of the consolidated Statement of Financial Position was determined based on the book values of the acquired company as at 31/05/2018 and was temporary.
The procedures of determining the fair value of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree, the Purchase Price Allocation in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 3 "Business Combinations" and the consequent definitive determination of the relevant goodwill were completed within the fourth quarter of 2018.
The final fair values in the Statement of Financial Position of the acquired company, the total acquisition consideration as well as the arising goodwill for the Group as at the acquisition date are analyzed as follows:

The fair value of 24,145,523 shares to be issued and included in the calculation of the consideration was calculated based on the price prevailing on the Athens Stock Exchange as at the acquisition date.
Significant variations in the items of consolidated Statement of Financial Position of the acquired group, arising from finalization of the relevant fair values are as follows:
Intangible assets of total value € 5.7m were recognized. HSW trademark was valued applying the "relief-from-royalty" method. The useful life was determined as indefinite and will be reviewed annually for impairment. Moreover, a deferred tax liability of € 1.4m was recognized.
Trade and other current assets totaling € 2m were derecognised.
The measurement of non-controlling holdings as at 31/05/2018 was based on the proportional share of the current property rights over the recognized amounts of the net assets of the acquired company.
The acquisition of HSW 01/06/2018 resulted in an increase in ATTICA group assets, liabilities and net profit by € 248,442k (29% of the total assets of ATTICA group) € 155,081k (34% of the total liabilities of ATTICA group) and € 14,908k (65% of the total net profit of ATTICA group), respectively.
If the acquisition had taken place from 01/01/2018, then the consolidated turnover of ATTICA group would be increased by € 31,569k, while the consolidated profits before tax of ATTICA group would be decreased by € 14,515k. The effect shall not be regarded indicative for the results, achieved by ATTICA group on the consolidated basis.
In June 2018, ATTICA group completed the acquisition of an additional 48.53% of the share capital of HSW following the implementation of as of 26/10/2017 agreement with MINOAN LINES S.A. on the acquisition of a total of 37,667,504 shares of HSW for a cash consideration of € 78.5m. Under the same agreement, ATTICA group sold the vessel SUPERFAST XII to GRIMALDI group company for € 74.5m cash consideration and HSW sold the vessel HIGHSPEED 7 to MINOAN LINES S.A. for a cash consideration of € 25m.
Following the above transaction, ATTICA group holds 98.83% of the total share capital of HSW. The aforementioned transaction is a change in non-controlling interests without altering the control in HSW and has been accounted for in compliance with the provisions of IFRS 10.
Following the finalization of the aforementioned transactions and a decrease in participating interest of ΜIG in ΑΤΤΙCA group, an amount of € 38.9m has arisen which has been recognized as transition with the shareholders of the parent, reducing the consolidated equity, while, at the same time, noncontrolling interest increased by € 47.2m.
the subsidiaries of GOODY'S (€ 16,161k) and EVEREST (€ 48,391k) while the subsidiary BARBA STATHIS proceeded with a capital return (€ 6,120k). The aforementioned transactions had no impact of VIVARIA group equity and the group's participating interest in all the subsidiaries in question has remained 100%.
of € 23k, which was directly written off in the equity of VIVARTIA group, as a result of increase in participating interest in existing subsidiary. The total indirect participating interest of VIVARTIA group in the aforementioned company stands at 100%.
On 19/05/2018, MIG received a binding offer from HELLENIC HEALTHCARE S.A.R.L. (which is controlled by the investment funds of CVC CAPITAL PARTNERS) for the sale of its participation in HYGEIA amounting (directly and indirectly) to 215,189,466 shares corresponding to 70.38% of HYGEIA's share capital.
The Board of Directors ("BoD") of MIG and the Executive Committee at the meeting held on 21/05/2018 decided unanimously to accept the offer and grant to HELLENIC HEALTHCARE S.A.R.L. the required period to complete the agreement until 30/06/2018.
On 05/07/2018, MIG announced signing an agreement for the sale of HYGEIA shares to the company HELLENIC HEALTHCARE S.A.R.L. The offered consideration amounted to € 0.95 per share and consequently the total consideration of the transaction amounts to € 204,429,933 (which corresponds to € 290,455,814 for 100% of HYGEIA's share capital). The sale in question was approved by the General Meeting of MIG shareholders as of 25/08/2018 transfer as well as all relevant decisions and actions of the Board of Directors. It is noted that on 27/09/2018 the transaction was approved by the Hellenic Competition Commission.
On the 09/11/2018, MIG completed the transfer of HYGEIA group shares to the entity controlled by the investment funds of "CVC CAPITAL PARTNERS". As at the same date, the transaction consideration was paid in full.
From the aforementioned transaction, a profit of € 93,577k was recorded for the Group, which is included in the results of discontinued operations in the consolidated Income Statement. The amount of profit was calculated as the balance between the proceeds of disposal, net of transaction costs, and its book value as at the date of the disposal. Respectively, a loss of € 9,310k was recorded for
the Company, which is included in the item "Income/(Expenses) from investments and other financial assets" of the separate Income Statement.
The book value of HYGEIA group net assets as at the disposal finalization date is presented in the table below as follows:

As at 31/12/2018, the Group did not consolidate the items of the Statement of Financial Position of HYGEIA group, while it included in the consolidated Income Statements the results of the discontinued operations of the aforementioned group until the disposal date, i.e. profit of € 107,006k (further analyzed as profit form the disposal of € 93,577k and profit form the company's operations for the period 01/01-09/11/2018 amounting to € 13,429k – see Note 7.6).
Within the second half of 2018, in view of the commitments made in the context of the Restructuring Agreement of the parent company, the Board of Directors decided on disposal of all the shares held by MIG LEISURE subsidiary to CTDC, owner of Hilton Cyprus Hotel. On this basis, the Group's Management has appointed a financial advisor in order to coordinate, among other things, non-binding initially and binding proposals of the interested investors as well as to provide support during the negotiations with the preferred investors.
On 27/02/2019, MIG announced the signing of an agreement for the sale of the stake held by its subsidiary MIG LEISURE in CTDC, owner of Hilton Cyprus hotel, to VIBRANA HOLDINGS LTD interest of NATIONAL PANGAIA REIC and INVEL group. The sale price amounts € 38.64 m. and it was agreed to be fully paid at completion of the transaction following the purchaser being granted the required approval by the competent Cypriot Commission for the Protection of Competition. The
sale of the Company's participation is part of a wider transaction for the sale to the purchaser of a total of 96.82% in CTDC owned by the Company and "LOUIS PLC" for the amount of € 54.89 m. On 27/03/2019, the transaction was approved by the competent Cypriot Commission for the Protection of Competition while on 18/04/2019 the transfer of the above mentioned shares was completed. The consideration arising from the disposal used in order to repay a bank loan of MIG LEISURE amounting to € 27.5 m while a portion of the remaining consideration used for the repayment of capital and interest on the existing borrowing of the parent company.
Based on the above, on 31/12/2018 the items of the Statement of Financial Position of CTDC and MIG LEISURE were classified as a disposal group in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 5 for non-current assets held for sale. At the date of classification as the disposal group, the Group and the Company measured the disposal group at the lower amount between the book value and the fair value less costs to sell (in accordance with IFRS 5, par.15). Following the comparison of the amount of fair value of the disposal group with the corresponding amount of its book value, no need for impairment was recognized in the consolidated Financial Statements.
Revenue and expenses, gains and losses pertaining to discontinued operation are not included in the Group's results from continuing operations for the period 01/01 - 31/12/2018, i.e. losses of € 1,272k, and are presented in the results from discontinued operations. Moreover, the book values of the assets and the related disposal group liabilities as at 31/12/2018 are also presented separately (see Note 7.6).
As at 31/12/2017 the items of the Statement of Financial Position of HYGEIA HOSPITAL-TIRANA ShA were classified as a disposal group in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 5 for non-current assets held for sale.
As at 06/07/2018, HYGEIA signed the agreement for the sale of the total shares of its 100% subsidiary HYGEIA HOSPITAL TIRANA ShA, to the company AMERICAN HOSPITAL SH.A.

Property, plant and equipment are subject to impairment test whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If the carrying value of property, plant and equipment exceeds their recoverable value, the excess amount refers to impairment loss which is recognized directly in the results. The largest amount that arises from comparing the fair value of the asset, after excluding the costs incurred for the sale, and value in use, constitutes the recoverable value of the asset.
In FY 2018, recognized impairment losses on property, plant and equipment for the Group amounting to € 909k. The total of the aforementioned impairment pertains to of vessel impairments belonging to the "Transportation" operating segment. The recoverable amount has been defined based on fair value, as evaluated by independent valuation companies, less disposal expenses.

The goodwill recognized as at 31/12/2017 decreased by € 3,310k due to the impairment test performed at the end of the annual reporting period. Impairment losses relate to derecognition of goodwill allocated to the operating segment "Transportations".
Additions for the annual period, totally amounting to € 10,778k pertain to goodwill arising from acquisition performed during 2018 by ATTICA group (please refer to note 6.1).
On 31/12/2018, an impairment test was conducted on recognized goodwill and consequently, on recognized intangible assets with indefinite useful life. The impairment test on goodwill which had arisen as a result of the acquisitions of the Group's consolidated companies, was conducted having allocated said assets to the respective Cash Generating Units (CGU). The recoverable goodwill amount associated with the respective CGU was determined through value in use, which was calculated by using the method of discounted cash flows.
Similarly, the recoverable value of trademarks with indefinite useful life (value in use) was determined through the income expected to arise from royalties based on the Income Approach via Relief from Royalty method. In determining the value in use, the Management uses assumptions that it deems reasonable, based on the best available information which is applicable at the reference date of the Financial Statements (please refer to Note 10.3).
On 31/12/2018, per CGU, the conditions that led to the recognition of these impairments are as follows:
Transportation sector: The impairments were mainly a result of the increased need for new investments in the coming years in order to meet the international environmental impact standards, as well as the reduction in the estimated perpetual growth rate.
Food and Dairy Sector: The impairments were attributable to the sub-sector "Dairy and beverages" of VIVARTIA group and are mainly related to losses recognized in the intangibles assets of the sector. These losses are due to the revenue decline in VIVARTIA group companies' operating in the above sub-sector, as a result of the prolonged recession in the Greek economy, which has resulted in the reduction in consumption expenditure during the last few years, as well as the decrease of the estimated perpetual growth rate.
Changes in goodwill within 2018 and the way it is allocated to the Group's operating segments are analytically described in Note 10.1 above. The impairment test resulted in generating the need to derecognise goodwill amounting to € 3,310k, charged to the consolidated results of the Group's continuing operations and included in the "Other financial results" item of the consolidated Income Statement.
The intangible assets of the Group, whose analysis is shown in Note 11, include also intangible assets with indefinite useful life. From the impairment test with reference date 31/12/2018 a need arose for the recognition of impairment losses on intangible assets amounting to € 13,505k (2017: € 4,041k), of which (i) an amount of € 4,953k pertains to an impairment of intangible assets with indefinite useful life of the "Food and Dairy" operating segment and (ii) an amount of € 8,552k pertains to an impairment of intangible assets with definite useful life of the "Transportation" operating segment (please refer to Note 11). The aforementioned amounts are included in the item "Other financial results" of the consolidated Income Statement.
Following the conducted impairments, the intangible assets of the Group with indefinite useful life on 31/12/2018 amount to € 217,114k (2017: € 382,414k) and include the following: (a) trademarks of the "Food and Dairy" segment amounting to€ 176,879k, (b) trademarks of the "Transportation" segment amounting to € 27,429k, and (c) trademarks of the "Information Technology and Telecommunications" segment amounting to € 12,806k.
Respectively, in the separate financial statements, the total impairment amount was € 109,491k which pertains to: (i) an amount € 64,764k from impairment in its participation in ATTICA, (ii) an amount € 19,350k from impairment in its participation in VIVARTIA, (iii) an amount € 18,467k from impairment in its participation in SINGULARLOGIC, (iv) an amount € 105k from impairment in its participation in MIG REAL ESTATE SERBIA, (v) an amount € 55k from impairment in its participation in MIG LRE CROATIA, (vi) an amount € 28k from impairment in its participation in MIG AVIATION HOLDINGS, and (vii) an amount € 6,722k from other assets impairment in RKB (please refer to Note 12 and 16). The aforementioned amounts are included in the item "Income/(Expenses) from investments in subsidiaries & investment portfolio" of the separate Income Statement.
The recoverable value of each CGU is determined according to the calculation of the value in use. The calculations for the CGU's recoverable amount were based on the present value of the expected future cash flows. The methodology for determining the value in use is affected (has sensitivity) by the following key assumptions, as adopted by the management for the estimation of future cash flows:
The calculations for determining the recoverable amounts of the CGU's are based on 5-year business plans approved by the Management, which have included the necessary revisions to capture the current economic situation and reflect past experience, projections of studies per sector and other information available from external sources.
The cash flows beyond the 5 year period are extrapolated using the estimated growth rates in perpetuity, as obtained from external sources. For the year ended on 31/12/2018, perpetuity growth rate declined to 1.6% from 2.0% on 31/12/2017.
The WACC method reflects the discount rate of future cash flows for each CGU, according to which the cost of equity and the cost of long-term debt and any grants are weighted, in order to calculate the cost of capital of the company. The basic parameters determining the weighted cost of capital (WACC) include:
Since all cash flows of the business plans are denominated in euro, the yield of ten-year Euro Swap Rate (EUS) was used as the risk-free rate. At the valuation date the ten-year Euro Swap Rate was 0.81 %. The 10-year Greek government bond was not used as risk free rate, given the recognition by the markets of significant risk premium (spread) on the title.
Assumptions of independent sources were taken into account for the calculation of the specific country risk premium. The risk associated with the activity in each market (Greece, Bulgaria, , etc.), as stated in each specific country risk premium, is included in the Cost of Equity of each company.
o Equity risk premium:
The calculation of the equity risk premium was based on assumptions by independent sources. Betas are evaluated annually based on published market data.
Apart from the above considerations concerning the determination of the value in use of CGUs, no other changes that may affect the rest of the assumptions have come to the Management's attention. Below are the main assumptions adopted by the Management for the estimation of future cash flows, so as to determine the value in use and perform impairment tests:
| Key business plans | WACC | WACC perpetuity | Perpetuity growth | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| assumptions | 2018 | 2017 | 2018 | 2017 | 2018 | 2017 |
| Food and Dairy | 8.2%-8.7% | 7,9%-9,5% | 8.2%-8.7% | 7,9%-9,5% | 1.6% | 2.0% |
| Transportation | 10.4% | 10.4% | 10.4% | 10.4% | 1.6% | 2.0% |
| IT and Telecoms | 10.0% | 8.1% | 10.0% | 8.1% | 1.6% | 2.0% |
The impairments for the reporting period at Group and Company level are presented in Note 38 to the financial statements.
The Management is not currently aware of any other event or condition that could reasonably affect any of the key assumptions underlying the determination of the recoverable amount of the CGUs. Nevertheless, on 31/12/2018, the Group analyzed the sensitivity of the recoverable amounts per CGU through changes in some of the key assumptions disclosed in note 10.3 (Indicatively a change: (i) a percentage point in EBITDA up to 2023 and half a percentage point to EBITDA in perpetuity, (ii) a percentage point in the discount rate up to 2023 and half a percentage point in the discount rate in perpetuity or (iii) a half-percentage point growth rate in perpetuity). From the relevant analysis it arises that in the case of the above changes an amount of impairment for the Group between € 27.4 m to a maximum of € 51.3 m may result and which concerns the operating segments "Food and Dairy", "Transportation" and "IT and Telecoms".

In compliance with the applied accounting policies and provisions of IAS 36, the Group conducts a relevant impairment test regarding its assets at the end of each reporting period, given that relative impairment indications are effective. The relevant test can be conducted earlier if there is evidence
of possible impairment loss. The test conducted, focuses both on endogenous as well as exogenous parameters.
During the year ended on 31/12/2018 an impairment arose on the value of investments in subsidiaries amounting to € 102,769k which is included in the "Expenses/(Income) from investments and financial assets in the trading portfolio" of the company's Income Statement. The impairment loss is due to changes in the Management's assumptions in the preparation of business plans related to the operation of the individual companies as well as the rate of growth in perpetuity (see Note 10.2.2).

Deferred income tax occurs from temporary differences between the book value and the tax bases of the assets and liabilities and is calculated based on the tax rate which is expected to be applicable in the financial years when the temporary taxable and deductible differences are predicted to be reversed.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when an applicable legal right exists to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred taxes refer to the same tax authority. A deferred tax asset is recognized in respect to tax losses carried forward to the extent that the realization of a relevant tax benefit is possible through future taxable profits.
The offset amounts for the Group are the following:

In accordance with the labor legislation of the countries in which the Group operates, employees are entitled to compensation in case of dismissal or retirement. With regards to subsidiaries domiciled in Greece (being the largest part of Group's activities), the amount of compensation varies depending on the employee's salary, the years of service and the mode of stepping down (redundancy or retirement). Employees resigning or dismissed on justifiable grounds are not entitled to compensation. In case of retirement, a lump sum compensation shall be paid pursuant to Law 2112/20. The Group recognizes as a liability the present value of the legal commitment for the lump sum compensation payment to personnel stepping down due to retirement. These are non-financed defined benefit plans according to IAS 19 and the relevant liability was calculated on the basis of an actuarial study.

On 27/07/2017, the Board of Directors of MIG specified the terms of the new Convertible Bond Loan (CBL), the issuance of which was resolved by the 2nd Reiterative Annual General Meeting of 10 July 2017. The aggregate amount of the CBL may not exceed the amount of € 460,302k divided into a maximum number of 1,534,340,000 bonds of a par value of € 0.30 each convertible into shares.
Bondholders may ask for conversion of their bonds into shares of the Company for the first time twelve (12) months following the issuance date of the CBL and, subsequently, at every monthly anniversary throughout the term of the CBL, upon written notice to the Company (hereinafter referred to as the "Conversion Notice Day"). In such case, the Company shall have an early repayment right in respect of the entire number (and not part of) the bonds for which the conversion right is exercised, within fifteen (15) working days starting from the day following the Conversion Notice Day. If the time-limit in question expires without any action, said bonds will be converted on the twentieth (20th) working day after the Conversion Notice Day (hereinafter referred to as the "Conversion Day"). If, on the day prior to the Conversion Notice Day, the stock market price of the share is lower than its nominal value (€ 0.30), the Company, upon bondholders' request will proceed to all appropriate corporate actions, including reducing the number of shares (reverse split) and at the same time reducing the share capital, by reducing the nominal value of each share for the purpose of writing off loss, in order to cause a readjustment of the stock market price to at least thirty cents (€ 0.30), which shall then constitute the conversion price. In such case, the Conversion Day will be subsequent to the completion of the relevant corporate actions. On 28/07/2017, MIG signed the Convertible Bond Loan Issuance Programme Plan up to the amount of € 460,250k. The new CBL is not listed for trading on the Athens Exchange.
CBL maturity was set at 4 years with the possibility of early repayment on every monthly repayment period date throughout the CBL maturity and, in particular, in the case of exercise of the conversion right. The CBL interest-rate shall be 12-month EURIBOR plus 4% spread. According to the CBL Programme, the Company has the option to recapitalise part of any interest due, at its absolute discretion, through issuance of up to 116,833,849 additional bonds (PIK Bonds) of a par value of € 0.30 each convertible into Company's shares. The CBL may be secured by collateral on listed and unlisted shares owned by the Company. The agreement includes terms relating to the issuer's obligations and constraints, termination events, compliance with financial covenants and disposal of Group assets after obtaining any required consents from other interested parties.
As at 31/07/2018, i.e. during the first interest period, under the terms of the CBL, a part of the interest due, standing at € 8,622k was recapitalized through the issue of 28,740,370 PIK Bonds of nominal value € 0.30 each. Moreover, a portion of the consideration arising from the disposal of HYGEIA (an amount of € 136,617k) was used to facilitate early repayment of the CBL. As a result of the aforementioned events, the loan balance as at 31/12/2018 stands at € 297,205k.
As at 31/12/2018, VIVARTIA group total loan liabilities amounted to € 432,431k, of which an amount of € 393,110k pertains to long-term debt obligations, while an amount of € 39,321k pertains to short-term debt obligations. It is to be noted that in the first half of 2018, VIVARTIA group
finalized capital and interest restructuring of its Common Syndicated Bond Loans, totaling € 365,208k, the remaining amount of which stood at € 362,708k as at 31/12/2018.
In particular, on 01/03/2018, VIVARTIA group and the credit institutions signed a Private Restructuring Agreement in relation to the above mentioned syndicated loans on terms favorable to the VIVARTIA group, such as, indicatively, lower lending margins and extension of maturity until 20/10/2024. The Agreement recorded the framework of the basic terms of the Restructuring, while also included the provision for issuing a Common Bond Loan amounting to € 103,000k, covered as at 18/04/2018, whose proceeds were used for the repayment of equal bank liabilities of the catering sector. In June 2018, following signing of the respective amended contracts, it was completed the restructuring of the syndicated bond loans of the subsidiaries DELTA, BARBA STATHIS, GOODY'S and EVEREST under the terms of the Private Restructuring Agreement and the Common Bond Loan of VIVARTIA.
The key terms of the entire VIVARTIA group Common Syndicated Bond Loans make provisions for an annual three-month EURIBOR rate plus margin and maturity at 20/10/2024. Moreover, the terms include capital repayment schedule, pledges on assets (pledges on real estate, notional pledges on machinery, pledges on subsidiaries shares, pledges on trademarks) restrictive financial covenants and other terms, liabilities and termination events in the framework of the aforementioned common bond loan plans.
Furthermore, following the finalization of VIVARTIA group bond loans restructuring, the settlement of other loan liabilities plus interest of the catering group standing at € 12.391m. was approved by ERGASIAS S.A., and it is at implementation stage and is estimated to be completed within first half of 2019. The key terms of the loans will include extending the maturity of loans by six years from 31/12/2018, and a substantial reduction in financial costs within the limits defined by the Syndicated Loans. Due to the aforementioned approval, an amount of € 8,378k was transferred to long-term loan liabilities of VIVARTIA group from short-term borrowings in accordance with the respective provisions of IAS.

Under Greek legislation, the tax rate effective for Greek companies in 2018 and 2017 is 29%. Article 23, Law 4579/2018, states that corporate income tax rates, excluding credit institutions, are gradually reduced to twenty-eight percent (28%) for income of tax year 2019, to twenty-seven percent (27%) for income of tax year 2020, to twenty-six per cent (26%) for income of tax year 2021 and twenty five per cent (25%) for income of tax year 2022 and thereafter. As a result of the gradual reduction in income tax rate due to revaluation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, a deferred income tax (income) of € 10,944k was recorded for the Group and was recognized in the Income Statement.
Information on deferred tax is presented in Note 17.

The remuneration of the executives of the Group includes gross salaries, fees, social security cost, indemnities and other costs and amounts to €11.8m for 2018 and €10.5m for 2017 (Company: €2.2m for 2018, €1.9m for 2017). Also, according to the decisions of the General Assemblies, provisions for benefits following termination of employment amount to €6m for 2018 and €1.8m for 2017 (Company: €1.6m for 2018, €1.2m for 2017).
The benefits of the discontinued operations [i.e. HYGEIA group and CTDC (owner of Hilton Cyprus Hotel)] amount to €4.2m for 2018 (HYGEIA GROUP until the date of the disposal) and €5.0m for 2017.
No loans have been provided to the executives of the Group (and their families).
As at 31/12/2018, MIG Group's companies had the following contingent liabilities.
o Issuance of performance guarantees amounting to € 10,974k (31/12/2017: € 13,630k),
o Provision of performance guarantees for subsidized investment programs amounting to € 178k (31/12/2017: € 226k),
The Company and its subsidiaries (under their property as defendant and plaintiff) are involved in various court cases and arbitration procedures during their normal operations. The Group makes provisions in the Financial Statements in respect to the pending court cases when it is probable that cash outflows will be required in order to settle the liability and this amount can be estimated reliably.
The Group as of 31/12/2018 has made provisions amounting to € 2,981k (31/12/2017: € 12,668k, of which an amount of € 9,750k is pertains to discontinued operations of HYGEIA) in respect to court cases (please refer to Note 29). The Management as well as the legal advisors estimate that the outstanding cases, apart from those already provided for, are to be settled without a significant negative impact on the Group's or Company's consolidated financial position or on their operating results.
On 12/09/2013 the Company together with other Greek investors submitted the Request for Arbitration against the Republic of Cyprus to the Secretary-General of the Washington based International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes established by the Convention of March 18, 1965 for regulating the disputes relating to the investments between States and nationals of other States. In the arbitration, MIG was seeking damages for losses relating to its investment in CYPRUS POPULAR BANK (CPB) amounting to € 824 m and any other losses incurred due to violations from the part of the Republic of Cyprus of articles 2, 3 and 4 of the bilateral international agreement in relation to the mutual promotion and protection of investments between Cyprus and Greece dated 30/03/1992.
The Tribunal was composed of Mr. Bernard Hanotiau (Belgium) as President and Mr. Daniel M Price (U.S.A.) and Sir David A.O. Edward (Great Britain) as arbitrators.
On 26/07/2018 the Tribunal transmitted its decision (Award), consisting of 363 pages, to the counsels of the Parties. The Tribunal found, inter alia, that the Republic of Cyprus did not act in breach of the Treaty and especially it did not breach the fair and equal treatment standard and the prohibition of expropriation or nationalization of the investment of the claimants in CPB and ordered the claimants to pay part of the procedural cost of the Republic of Cyprus and in particular the amount of €5,000,000, which was paid within 2018 (and was recognised in the Company's Income Statement of 2018).
MIG announced that following its appeal against the Republic of Cyprus before the International Arbitration Tribunal, claiming the amount of € 824 m plus interest and additional damages relating to its investment in CYPRUS POPULAR BANK (CPB), the State-owned bank, which has been under resolution since 2013, filed a lawsuit against MIG (as well as among others against Messrs. Vgenopoulos, Bouloutas and Magiras) before the Cypriot courts claiming an amount of over € 2 m without specifying a priori what is the subject of the action, "reserving its right to specify its claims and damages at a later stage".
On 08/05/2013 an Interim Order (Interim Measures) was issued, ordering and forbidding MIG until a new order is issued, inter alia, from transferring to or in favor of A. Vgenopoulos, E. Bouloutas and K. Magiras, any assets – including funds - except if the total value of the assets of the latter without incumbencies and other securities ("unencumbered value") exceeds the amount of € 3.79 billion.
On 28/06/2013 MIG filed an application for setting aside the procedure (cancellation of the writ of summons).
On 02/07/2013 A. Vgenopoulos, E. Bouloutas and K. Magiras filed an opposition against CPB's application for an interim order. MIG stated that it would not file an opposition and that it would accept the outcome of the oppositions of the other defendants, without admitting the facts included in CPB's application.
On 23/05/2014 the Court issued its interim decisions whereby it rejected the applications for setting aside the procedure and rendered the interim orders absolute against all defendants and in force until the termination of the trial or until another order of the Court.
MIG filed its appeals against (i) the interim decision dated 23/05/2014 on the set aside application and (ii) the interim decision/order dated 23/05/2014 on the interim order application and the relevant oppositions of the defendants.
On 17/07/2014 MIG filed an application to set aside due to lack of jurisdiction of the District Court of Nicosia and on 04/11/2014 CPB filed its objection. In the meantime CPB filed an application to amend the statement of claim and MIG, consequently, filed its objection. CPB further requested adjournment of the hearing of the application to set aside due to lack of jurisdiction until after its application to amend the statement of claim is heard. Despite MIG's objection, the Court adjourned the hearing with its interim decision and MIG filed an appeal against it. On 08/09/2015, an interim decision was issued by the Court whereby it allowed the amendment of the statement of claim, against which MIG filed an appeal. The above amendment was filed on 08/09/2015 and was served to the lawyers of the defendants on 11/09/2015. By expressing a number of reservations, CPB specifies the amount of damages to € 3.99 billion.
On 15/02/2016, a hearing was held in relation to a preliminary issue concerning MIG's application to set aside for lack of jurisdiction of the District Court of Nicosia and, specifically, which party has the burden of proof. On 11/04/2016, the Court issued its judgment according to which, as a general rule, the burden of proof lies on the party who is bringing forward an allegation; and specifically in the applications at issue, the burden of proof lies on the applicants - defendants.
MIG filed its written submissions on the set aside applications for lack of jurisdiction dated 17/07/2014, on 05/09/2016 and CPB filed its own submissions on 12/09/2016.
By the Notice dated 17/05/2016, MIG was informed about listing of the appeals it had filed against the interim decisions dated 23/05/2014 on 16/06/2016, whereby the Supreme Court set a 90-days deadline for MIG to lodge its Skeleton Argument and subsequently 90 days for CPB to lodge its own Skeleton Argument. MIG filed its Skeleton Argument on 12/09/2016, CPB filed its Skeleton Argument on 12/12/2016. On 26/03/2019 CPB accepted the amendment of the title by A. Vgenopoulos's heirs, reserving its rights, and the Court ordered that the amended appeals are registered within 30 days.
On 31/01/2017 a decision was issued on the set aside applications for lack of jurisdiction of the Nicosia District Court, whereby it admitted its jurisdiction and did not consider the various requests and arguments of the applicants, including the request for referring the matter to the ECJ through a prejudicial request. On 14/02/2017 MIG and Messrs. Bouloutas and Magiras filed an appeal against the above decision. The successors of A. Vgenopoulos must be expected to determine their position accordingly.
With regard to the jurisdiction, MIG obtained an opinion from the Professor Andrian Briggs in Private Law in Oxford University who contends that according to the Regulation (EC) 44/2001 there is no jurisdiction of the Cypriot Courts for the case, which it filed with the Tribunal.
Upon A. Vgenopoulos's demise the case has been fixed, following successive adjournments, for 16/05/2019 for directions in order that an application for the amendment and/or addition of defendant is filed until then.
It is hereby noted that CPB has initiated proceedings for the recognition, beyond the Republic of Cyprus and in particular in Greece and in England, of the freezing order dated 23/05/2014, which does not turn against MIG's assets but orders and forbids MIG from transferring to or in favor of
Messrs. Vgenopoulos, Bouloutas and Magiras, any assets – including money – except if the total value of assets exceeds the amount of € 3.79 billion. By the decision no. 27/2016 of the Athens 1 membered Court of First Instance (Voluntary Procedure) the above order was declared enforceable in Greece, as explicitly mentioned in the decision of the Athens Court of First Instance. Against this decision MIG (together with the above mentioned defendants) filed an Appeal before the Athens 3 membered Court of Appeal (Contentious Jurisdiction) which was finally rejected by the decision no. 983/2017 of the Athens 3-membered Court of Appeal issued on 02/03/2017. MIG has filed before the Supreme Court an application for cessation against said decision.
Furthermore, by the Order of Judge Leslie of High Court of Justice in England and Wales, Queen's Bench Division, dated 26/02/2015, the above order of the Nicosia District Court was declared enforceable in England and Wales. MIG together with the above mentioned defendants has filed an appeal against said Order, the hearing of which is pending. On the basis of the above mentioned Order it was confirmed by the same Court in England that the above Order of Judge Leslie, whereby the Nicosia District Court Order was declared enforceable in England and Wales, will become enforceable in England and Wales only on the final determination of the appeal against it. CPB filed an appeal against this Order. On 12/01/2018 the Court of Appeal allowed the appeal and awarded CPB the costs of its appeal. Upon CPB's relevant application a decision on interim measures has been issued according to the provisions of article 47(2) and (3) of the Regulation 44/2001 of the Council, which does not concern though MIG's assets. The appeal was stayed by successive orders of the Court until 30/06/2019.
The Company still considers that the obvious aim of CPB's lawsuit against MIG was the defense of the Republic of Cyprus in the international arbitration. MIG's legal counsels are not yet able to express an opinion on the outcome of the case, at this initial procedural stage, in terms of both illegal acts or omissions and damages, taking into consideration all the circumstances surrounding the case, including the parallel proceedings.
The claimants have turned not only against MIG but also against CPB, the former members of the Board of Directors of "Bank of Cyprus Public Company Ltd", "Dubai Financial Limited Liability Company", "Deutsche Bank A.G. London Branch", "PricewaterhouseCoopers Ltd", "Grant Thornton (Cyprus) Ltd", and the Central Bank of Cyprus. The claimants request compensation for damages allegedly caused by acts or/and omissions of the Board of Directors of CPB and by conspiracy among the Company and other defendants, which led the CPB into a resolution regime and/or termination of its operations and /or collapse and/or bankruptcy without however making references to specific acts or omissions. The total amount of the requested compensation comes to € 39 m plus interest and costs.
MIG's Management believes that the claim is unsubstantiated, even though its adjudication is still at an early procedural stage and no details of the claim have been given; its legal counsel are not yet able to express an opinion on its outcome.
On 25/07/2016 the Attorney General of the Republic of Cyprus filed before the Nicosia District Court the criminal case no. 15161/16 against 10 (currently 8) defendants including MIG (currently defendant 7). The charge sheet was served on MIG on 08/08/2016. The case concerns a wire transfer of € 1 m made on 27/07/2007 from an account of "Focus Maritime Corporation" (currently defendant 8), a company in which Michael Zolotas (currently defendant 2) has interests in, to an
account of "A.C.Christodoulou Consultants Ltd" (currently defendant 6), a company in which Athena Christodoulou (currently defendant 4), daughter of the former Governor of the Central Bank of Cyprus Christodoulos Christodoulou (defendant 1), has interests in. The wire transfer in question is alleged to have been made in order for the latter to refrain from taking appropriate action and investigations concerning MIG's (currently defendant 7) acquisition of control in CPB in February 2006. The above "fee" for said purpose was purportedly agreed to be received by Christodoulos Christodoulou (defendant 1) from Andreas Vgenopoulos and MIG (currently defendant 7). Moreover, as an additional consideration, he purportedly agreed with Andreas Vgenopoulos to have his then son-in-law Andreas Kizouridis (former defendant 5) appointed at a high-ranking position in CPB. At the hearing of 22/03/2017 the Attorney General of the Republic of Cyprus removed A. Vgenopoulos (ex-defendant 2), due to his demise, and K. Magiras (ex-defendant 4), due to the denial of Greek Justice to execute the European arrest warrant against him, from the charge sheet and committed the case to the Nicosia Assize Court for all other defendants, including MIG.
The hearing of the case started on 09/05/2018 through the examination of the witnesses for the prosecution who filed various documentary evidence . Further to the dismissal of the prejudicial objections raised by the defendants against the filing of documentary evidence, the hearing continued with the examination of witnesses.
On 16/03/2019 defendant A. Kizouridis gave voluntarily a multipage deposition wherein he exposed significant facts concerning the matters under trial. On 19/03/2019 the Attorney General, taking into account the contents of the deposition and considering it is a credible witness statement, terminated the criminal prosecution against A. Kizouridis so that he is summoned as witness for the prosecution. Following the filing of objections by the counsels for the defendants, the Court eventually, by a resolution dated 02/04/2019, allowed for the largest part of the deposition of A. Kizouridis, while with regard to the part referring to what he heard from the demised A. Vgenopoulos the Court allowed for it in connection with the fact that the demised stated something and not regarding the accuracy of the contents of the deposition. On 02/04/2019 A. Kizouridis completed his testimony.
The hearing continues with the examination of other witnesses of the prosecution.
It is hereby noted that MIG as a legal entity is not obliged to appear in person (through its directors) at Court and may only be condemned to pay a fine. The procedural evolution of the case and in particular to what extent the proceedings will continue with regard to all charges or in general as well is uncertain given the demise of A. Vgenopoulos, the extradition of M. Zolotas for only one charge and the decision of Greek Justice for non-extradition of K. Magiras. The amount of the fine that may be imposed on MIG in case of condemnation as a result of the above in not possible to be estimated at this point.
LOUIS PLC filed a lawsuit against MIG LEISURE before the Nicosia District Court, requesting an order for the execution of the shareholders' agreement with MIG LEISURE dated 13/08/2017 through the purchase by MIG LEISURE of 600,000 shares of the company CTDC owned by LOUIS PLC, otherwise the adjudication of relevant compensation, referring to a previous agreement with MIG LEISURE. On 11/01/2016, MIG LEISURE filed its defense at the District Court of Nicosia. Following completion of the procedure of filing affidavits for the disclosure of documents by both sides, the case was fixed for hearing, upon successive adjournments, for 16/04/2019. In view of the forthcoming completion of the transfer of the total stake held by both MIG LEISURE and LOUIS PLC in CTDC to VIBRANA HOLDINGS LTD, on 16/04/2019 the case remained for directions for 10/05/2019 with the aim of extrajudicial settlement. Following the completion of the above
transaction, which has already taken place, it is expected that a notice of termination of the procedure will be filed by LOUIS PLC.
On 18/12/2015, the transfer of all shares of SKYSERV to SWISSPORT AVIAREPS HELLAS S.A. was completed. According to individual terms and conditions of the sale and purchase, MIG has undertaken to compensate likely amounts that SKYSERV is to be asked to pay and for which there was no previous provision in the Financial Statements. Three lawsuits have been filed against SKYSERV by the OLYMPIC AIRWAYS SERVICES S.A. - In Liquidation" (hereinafter "OAS") seeking payment for the total amount of € 5.6 m (plus interest from the lapse of 30 days after issuance of each invoice), invoking the contracts for provision of services entered between the companies on 09/06/2009. The trial of the above cases took place on 21/02/2018, 28/02/2018 and 14/03/2018. On the one of the above lawsuits for a claim of € 1,243k plus interest, the Athens Multimember First Instance Court issued its decision no. 4964/2018, whereby it admitted the lawsuit for the amount of € 1,183k plus interest as of 23/10/2009. The above decision was not yet been served on the Company. The Company is already examining its next moves including the filing of an appeal. With respect to the other two lawsuits the parties still await the decision of the Court.
MIG continues to believe that these lawsuits are vague and unfounded. In the context of the trial, OAS provided - objectively - no evidence adequate to lead to the substantiation of its claims in the Court's consideration. Furthermore, SKYSERV raised an objection regarding the abusive filing of each lawsuit, as OAS stated through its legal representative at three different time points that no debt had arisen from the agreements in question and that the invoices in question were supposed to be cancelled even before OAS was put under liquidation, which in fact did not occur. For the above reasons, the Company considers that the reversal of the above first instance decision by the appeal court is possible, whereas with respect to the other two lawsuits it continues to believe that even if vagueness is put aside and the Court gets into the merits of the case, eventually the lawsuits will be rejected as factually unsubstantiated or at least as filed abusively.
On 09/11/2018 the Company completed the transfer of its total stake, direct and indirect, in HYGEIA to HELLENIC HEALTHCARE SINGLE-PERSON HOLDINGS S.A. (the Buyer). According to individual terms and conditions of the sale and purchase, the Company (together with its subsidiary, by 100%, MARFIN CAPITAL S.A.) has assumed towards the Buyer, inter alia, the liability of HYGEIA, MITERA and/or LETO deriving from or in connection with litigation concerning malpractice, professional liability and similar cases, provided that the event or circumstances which caused the initiation of the relevant proceeding refers to a date on or prior to 09/11/2018. The Company is liable for any amount that HYGEIA, MITERA and/or LETO may be required to assume, compensate or pay pursuant to an enforceable court judgment or out of court settlement, to the extent that such amount exceeds (i) the amount of provisions specifically made for each of HYGEIA, MITERA and LETO in the Annual Financial Statements on 31/12/2017; and (ii) any amount that such company has actually received as beneficiary pursuant to a valid insurance policy. The Buyer shall keep the Company informed of any material developments in relation to a matter giving rise to an indemnified liability and the Company shall give to the Buyer whatever reasonable assistance the Buyer may reasonably require in mitigating, settling, disputing etc. any relevant third party claim.
So far the Company has received no notice of such developments. In any case, it is noted that the Company considers that at the time of transfer the above mentioned companies of HYGEIA group had taken satisfying provisions for contingent liabilities with regard to the above described litigation

The Group's tax obligaitons are not conclusive since there are non-tax audited financial years which are analyzed in Note 2 of the Financial Statements for the year ended on 31/12/2018. For the nontax audited financial years there is a probability that additional taxes and penalties will be imposed when they are assessed and finalized. The Group assesses on an annual basis its contingent liabilities which may result from tax audits of preceding financial years, by forming provisions where it is deemed necessary. The Group has made provisions for non-tax audited financial years amounting to € 1,255k (31/12/2017: € 1,645k).
The Management considers that apart from the formed provisions, potential tax amounts which may arise will not have any significant effect on equity, Profit/Loss and on cash flows of the Group and the Company.
For the years 2011- 2017, the Group companies operating in Greece and subject to tax audits by Chartered Accountants in accordance with paragraph 5 of Article 82 of Law 2238/1994 and in compliance with the provisions of Article 65Α par. 1, Law 4174/2013, received a Certificate of Tax Compliance without any substantial differences. Under the Circular POL 1006/2016, the companies that have been subject to this special tax audit are not exempted from the statutory audit of the competent tax authorities. The Management of the Group estimates that in case such audits are carried out by the Tax Authorities in the future, no additional tax differences will arise with a significant effect on the Financial Statements.
Regarding the financial year 2018, the special audit for the issue of the Certificate of Tax Compliance is currently in progress and the relevant tax certificates are expected to be issued following the publication of the annual Financial Statements for FY 2018. Should any additional tax liabilities arise till the finalization of the tax audit, it is estimated that they will not have a material
effect on the Financial Statements. It is to be noted that under the recent legislation, such audit and the issue of the Certificate of Tax Compliance for 2016 and onwards are optional.

Each one of MIG's large investments is exposed to specific risks. The occurrence of any of these risks could lead to a possible revaluation of MIG's portfolio and to the reassessment of the strategic objectives of the Group.
Τhe Company and the Group are exposed to risks pertaining to financing, interest rates, fuel prices, liquidity, credit and currencies. The Group reviews and periodically assesses its exposure to the risks cited above on a case by case basis as well as collectively and uses financial instruments to hedge its exposure to certain risk categories.
Evaluation and assessment of the risks faced by the Company and the Group are conducted by the Management. The main aim is to monitor and assess all the risks to which the Company and Group are exposed to through their business and investment activities.
The Group uses several financial instruments or pursues specialized strategies to limit its exposure to changes in the values of investments that may result from market volatility, including changes in prevailing interest rates and currency exchange rates.
The Group's functional currency is the Euro. The Group operates in foreign countries and therefore is exposed to currency risk. This type of risk mainly arises from current or future cash flows in foreign currency and from investments outside the Eurozone. The largest percentage of MIG's and the Group's revenue and costs are Euro denominated. Likewise, the largest percentage of the Company's investments is denominated in Euro.
In managing currency risk, the Group uses derivatives (forward FX contract agreements) with financial institutions for the Group's companies. The Group holds foreign investments whose net assets are exposed to FX risk. FX risk stems from the exchange rates to the USD, UK Sterling, Albanian Lek, Bulgarian Lev and other currencies of European countries where the subsidiaries of the Group operate and is partially offset by respective liabilities in the same currencies.
The Group's investment in Serbian RKB is not exposed to FX risk since their assets (investment properties and other intangible assets) are denominated in Euro and the largest part of the relevant inflows is in Euro. It is noted, that in other markets where the Group operates (other Balkan countries) the financial needs of each company are assessed, and if feasible, the financing is in the same currency with the relevant asset being financed or that is going to be financed.
The analysis of the Group's financial assets and liabilities per currency converted in Euro as at 31/12/2018 and 31/12/2017 is presented as follows:

Sensitivity analysis for the currency Lev is not included in the table above, because the exchange rate of EURO/LEV is fixed.
The Group's exposure to FX risk varies during the financial year depending on the volume of the transactions and its wider FX risk exposure. However, the above analysis is considered to be representative of the Group's FX risk exposure.
Changes in interest rates can affect the Group's net income by increasing the costs of servicing debt used to finance the Group. Changes in the interest rates can also affect, amongst others: (a) the cost and availability of debt financing along with the Company's ability to achieve attractive rates of return on its investments; and (b) the debt financing capability of the investments and of the businesses in which the Group invests.
Bank debt constitutes one of the funding sources of the Group's investments. A large portion of the Group's debt pays floating interest rates and therefore is directly dependent upon interest rate levels and fluctuations, a fact which exposes the Group to cash flow risk. The Group's policy is to constantly monitor interest rate trends as well as the duration of its financial needs. Thus, decisions about the duration along with the relationship between fixed and floating rate of a new loan, are taken separately for each case.
The table below presents the sensitivity on the Group's and the Company's results and equity for the period based on a reasonable fluctuation in the interest rate in the range of +/- 1%:

| Equity | (6,760) | 6,760 | (6,929) | 6,929 |
The Group's and the Company's exposure in relation to its investments stems from possible adverse price movements in the market prices of equities and other listed securities.
It is noted that:
The risk of the Group and the Company with respect to the trading portfolio, financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss and the investment portfolio arises from potential adverse changes in the market prices of shares and other securities. On 31/12/2018, the assets exposed to market risk amounted to € 3 m for the Group and € 0.2 m for the Company respectively. A fluctuation of +/- 30% in investments whose valuation gains or losses are recognized in other comprehensive income and cumulatively in equity, would lead to a change of +/- € 0.1 m for the Group and +/- € 0.05 m for the Company.
Credit risk is the potential delayed payment to the Group and the Company of its current and future receivables by its counterparties. The assets exposed to credit risk on the statement of Financial Position as of the reporting date are analyzed as follows:

Prudent liquidity risk management implies cash adequacy as well as the existence and availability of necessary funding sources. The Group is managing its liquidity requirements on a daily basis through systematic monitoring οf it's short and long-term financial liabilities and through daily monitoring of the payments made. Furthermore, the Group constantly monitors the maturity of its receivables and payables, in order to maintain a balance between capital continuity and flexibility via its bank credit worthiness.

As presented in the table above, total debt of the Group on 31/12/2018 amounted to € 1,455,256k. Long term debt amounted to € 964,823k, while short term debt amounted to € 490,433k. Respectively, total debt of the Company on 31/12/2018 amounted to € 546,855k, of which € 297,205 k was long term debt and € 249,650k was short term debt.
The Group and the Company on 31/12/2018 had negative working capital, since current liabilities exceeded current assets by € 369,531k and € 245,375k respectively. This issue will be resolved following the successful completion of the restructuring of the Group companies' debt (see note 3.1 and 26).
Group companies operating in the transportation sector are significantly affected by fuel price fluctuations, since it constitutes one of their main operating costs. An increase or decrease in fuel prices by 10% on an annual basis would affect the Group's results and equity position by approximately -/+ €13.5 m.
Due to the nature of their operations, the Group's companies are subject to the aforementioned risk that may negatively affect the Group's results, customers and operations. ATTICA Group ships are insured for insurance of ships and machines, for insurance of increased value and for insurance of ships against war risks. VIVARTIA Group companies are covered by a wide range of insurance policies that include civil liability, property, transport, environmental liability in such a way that any risk and potential damage can be effectively and reliably addressed. Likewise, SINGULARLOGIC group is covered for its operations by the relevant, necessary and strict ISO standards and corresponding insurance contracts.
Competition between the companies operating in the transportation, healthcare and food and dairy sectors is particularly intense and could adversely affect their sales and profitability.
The food and dairy sector and in particular the subsectors where VIVARTIA group is present (dairy, frozen vegetables and pastry, food services) are facing accentuated competition from both large domestic or international entities in the specific subsectors, as well as from very small national or local competitors. Potential changes in the frameworks that govern the above subsectors (e.g. product life, labelling of product origin, food and beverage VAT, social insurance and employment regulations, etc.) create conditions of intense competition. Additionally, following the general consumption trend globally, but also in particular due to the persisting economic conditions in Greece, there has been a constant increase in the consumption of private label products, which affects the competition in dairy, frozen vegetables and pastry products. Finally, the food services subsector is present in an equally intense competition environment with the majority of its competitors consisting of non-organized networks, specifically stand-alone shops. The intense
competition combined with a contracting food service market, due to the recession that has negatively affected the country in previous years, had an obvious negative impact on sales and profitability.
ATTICA group operates on marine lines of intense competition which can be further intensified in the effort of the companies to acquire a larger share in already mature markets.
The Group's targets in terms of capital management are the following:
The Group monitors capital in terms of equity, less cash and cash equivalents as presented in the statement of Financial Position. The capital for the financial years 2018 and 2017 is analyzed as follows:
| THE GROUP | THE COMPANY | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amounts in € '000 | 31/12/2018 | 31/12/2017 | 31/12/2018 | 31/12/2017 |
| Total equity | 347,810 | 350,167 | 410,428 | 574,062 |
| Cash, cash equivalents & restricted cash | (121,462) | (130,507) | (3,114) | (9,554) |
| Capital | 226,348 | 219,660 | 407,314 | 564,508 |
| Total equity | 347,810 | 350,167 | 410,428 | 574,062 |
| Plus: Loans | 1,455,256 | 1,624,303 | 546,855 | 699,522 |
| Total capital | 1,803,066 | 1,974,470 | 957,283 | 1,273,584 |
| Capital to Total capital | 1:7,97 | 1:8,99 | 1:2,35 | 1:2,26 |
The Group defines the amount of capital in relation to its total capital structure i.e. equity and financial liabilities without taking into account subordinated debt. The Group manages its capital structure and proceeds with adjustments while financial conditions and risk characteristics of existing assets change. Aiming at retaining or adjusting its capital structure, the Group may adjust the dividends paid, return capital to its shareholders, issue new share capital or dispose assets in order to reduce debt.
Within the current year, in compliance with paragraphs 14 to 15 of IAS 8, ATTICA group Management proceeded with changes of accounting policy in the financial statements.
As a result, the Group's financial statements for the comparative period have been restated. The corrections were applied retrospectively, affecting both the comparative reference period, i.e. 31/12/2017, and the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented, i.e. 31/12/2016.
The change in accounting policy pertains to recognition of inspections/replacements as a separate item in vessels value.
Under the Group's previous accounting policy, material inspections for damages as well as replacements/repairs of parts of such assets in order to ensure their optimal return were recognized
in current assets in the other current assets item and burdened the Group's income statement proportionally.
Within the current year, the Group changed the accounting policy for the recognition of inspections / replacements and, based on the new accounting policy, long-term inspections / replacements (two, three and five years) are recognized as a separate item in the acquisition cost of the Group's vessels. It is to be noted that under application of the new accounting policy, the Group will follow the same method of depreciation as that previously used.
The Group Management estimates that the information presented following the aforementioned application of IAS 8 is more relevant and presents the Group's financial position in a more reliable way. Moreover, the Group's new accounting policy is in line with the provisions of IAS 16 "Property, plant and equipment", par. 14. Finally, it is to be noted that the aforementioned change in the items of Financial Statements is comparable with international companies, operating in the segment, following the same accounting policy.

The effect on the Statement of Comprehensive Income pertains to determining operating profits before financial and investing activities and depreciation. No other item has been affected by the change in accounting policy since, as mentioned above, the burden on the income statement was proportionate to the duration of every inspection/replacement. The effect on Operating profits before financial and investing activities and depreciation for FY 2017 is analytically presented below as follows:
| Amounts in € '000 | 01/01-31/12/2017 |

The effect on the Statement of Cash Flows as at 31/12/2017 is analyzed as follows:
| Amounts in € '000 | 01/01-31/12/2017 |

| Net cash flows from operating activities (As published) | 15,926 |
| Change accounting policy for the recognition of inspections / replacements | 4,899 |
