B. Report on Review of Interim Financial Information

To the Board of Directors of "LAMPSA HELLENIC HOTELS S.A."

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying interim condensed separate and consolidated statement of financial position of the Company "LAMPSA HELLENIC HOTELS S.A." as at 30 June 2018 and the related separate and consolidated condensed income statement and statement of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month period then ended, and the selected explanatory notes that comprise the interim financial information, which forms an integral part of the six-month financial report under Law 3556/2007. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of this interim condensed financial information in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and apply for interim financial reporting (International Accounting Standard "IAS 34"). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these interim condensed financial statements based on our review.

Scope of Review

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

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim condensed financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, the separate and consolidated financial position of the Company and the Group "LAMPSA HELLENIC HOTELS S.A." as at 30 June 2018, their separate and consolidated financial performance and separate and consolidated cash flows for the period then ended, in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union.

Emphasis of Matter

We draw your attention to Note 2.17 to the interim financial statements which describes the existence of third parties pending court cases regarding a subsidiary company, claiming compensations totaling EURO 1.109 million. The final outcome of the court case cannot be estimated at present, and, therefore, no relative provision has been made in the financial statements regarding these court cases. Our conclusion is not qualified in respect of this matter.

UNIT 1 Financial developments and data on the course of the period from 1/1/2018 to 30/06/2018

1.1 Financial Information

In the first semester of 2018 the tourism sector substantially improved, since there was an increase in arrivals, in line with an increase in revenue. On the contrary, the consequences of the economic crisis are reflected in the revenue of the Food & Beverage segment, where Greek presence has been traditionally strong, resulting in a lower rate of revenue growth compared to the room revenue increase.

Stabilization in room occupancy ration can also be observed in the Serbian hotel market, after the increase of the last two years, since demand is showing signs of recovery, assisted by the new foundations caused by Serbia's admission to the EU (airports, privatization of air transportation operator etc). However, an increase in revenue has not been recorded owing to extensive competition from a high number of new hotels in the Belgrade area.

Room occupancy ratio of the luxury hotel industry in Athens increased by 3,7% compared to the relative six-month period of 2017, adjusting the ratio to 72,5% versus 69,9% in 2017. The average room price

"Grande Bretagne" hotel recorded a 11,8% sales increase versus the relative period in 2017, while «King George» hotel recorded 13,5% sales increase. Regarding the Group Hotels in Serbia, they recorded a marginal increase in sales, in particular, "Hyatt Regency Belgrade" - recorded a marginal sales increase by 0,4%, whereas "Excelsior" recorded an impressive increase by 20,88% due to the undertaking of the hotel management Accor hotel group.

In terms of EBITDA, the relative increase in sales and expenditure restraint (despite rigidity of payroll expenses) resulted in increased sizes for the Group (€9,12 million versus € 6,70 million in 2017) with a significant improvement for the Company (€ 7,29 million versus € 4,67 in the respective period of 2017).

The turnover of the parent company (Hotels "Grande Bretagne and "King George") stood at € 23,89 million versus € 21,62 million in the comparative 2017 period, increased by 10,52%.

The balances of the accounts Trade and Other Receivables and Other Current Assets of the Group and the Company as at 30/06/2018 are presented increased by 37,95% and 32,09% respectively versus the balances recorded as at 31/12/2017, due to the nature of the Company and the Group operations, affected by seasonality of sales, contributing to generating bigger open balances within the interim reporting period. It is expected that during the following months, given the capitalization of the aforementioned receivables, the trade balances will be significantly decreased, thus reaching the normal levels. Likewise, the balances of the accounts Other Liabilities of the Group and the Company are increased by 52,94% and 62,60% respectively as at 30/06/2018 versus 31/12/2017 due to accrued expenses expected to be settled in the following months.

As at 30/06/2018, the Group had negative working capital, as current liabilities exceed current assets by € 63,55 k (parent company € 67,80 k). A significant part of current liabilities (76,06% regarding the Group and 76,78% regarding the parent company) pertains to short-term debt and long-term debt installments payable in the following year. Within the current period, the Group repaid to the banks a capital amount of € 1,66 million and the parent Company – an amount of € 1,57 million. In the next year, the Group and the Company are to pay to the banks the capital amounts of € 64,02 million and € 63,64 k respectively. Without taking into consideration the short-term loan liabilities, the Group working capital is presented positive by € 467,71 k and the Company's is presented negative by € 4,16 k.

It is noted that the loan of the parent company amounting to € 10,2 million has been extended until 30/09/2018 and the loan amounting to € 43 million has been extended until 3/10/2018.

The Group's Management is at the final stage of an agreement with the lending banks Eurobank & Alpha Bank regarding the conclusion of a new long-term Bond Loan to repay the existing short-term loan liabilities of the parent Company. In this regard, a draft of basic terms has been signed, which is subject to the approval of the authorized committees of the Credit Institutions.

Furthermore, the Group's and the Company's Working Capital needs are expected to be covered by the operating inflows expected to be achieved within the following periods, as seasonality is presented in the Group's activity where the occupancy in the spring months is almost double that of the corresponding winter period.

1.4 Prospects – operations development – Main Risks and Uncertainties for the Second Sixmonth Period of 2018

The tourism industry of the country exhibits signs of significant improvement. The relative lack of stability of tourism destinations of the wider area has a positive effect on destination Greece, as a safe Eurozone member-country. Lampsa hotels, boasting the competitive advantage of luxury hotel units, location and history (Grande Bretagne) lead the Group to increasing its figures in all the operating segments, while improving its financial performance.

Stabilization in room occupancy ration can also be observed in the Serbian hotel market, after the increase of the last two years, since demand is showing signs of recovery, assisted by the new foundations caused by Serbia's admission to the EU (airports, privatization of air transportation operator etc). However, an increase in revenue has not been recorded owing to extensive competition from a high number of new hotels in the Belgrade area.

Furthermore, joint operation of the hotels "Grande Bretagne" and "King George" provides economies of scale both at management level and staff level.

The improvement of the profitability of the company is expected, due modification of the management agreement of the hotels "Grande Bretagne" and "King George" with Marriott Group, through which the management fees for the three years 2017-2019 will significantly decrease.

Six-month Financial Report for the period from January 1 to June 30, 2018 All the amounts are expressed in thousands of Euro unless stated otherwise

As far as the hotels in Serbia are concerned, especially Excelsior Hotel, undertaking of management by Accor Group under the trade title Mercure is expected to play the primary role, since it already contributes to its sales increase by approximately 20%. A marginal increase in the income for the hotel "Hyatt Regency Belgrade" is expected as a consequence of the intense competition due to operation of many new hotels in the city of Belgrade.

Currency Risk

The Group operates internationally and carries out trade and loan transaction in foreign currency. Therefore, it is exposed to foreign currency translation differences (another major country of the Group's operations, apart from Greece, is Serbia). he Parent Company exposure to currency risk arises mainly from the bond loan issue in US Dollars.

Credit Risk

More than 80% of the Group sales are held through credit cards and credit sales are mainly made to customers with an estimated credit history.

Liquidity Risk

As at 30/06/2018, the Group had negative working capital, as current liabilities exceed current assets by € 63,55 k (parent company € 67,80 k). A significant part of current liabilities (76,06% regarding the Group and 76,78% regarding the parent company) pertains to short-term debt and long-term debt installments payable in the following year. Within the current period, the Group repaid to the banks a capital amount of € 1,66 million and the parent Company – an amount of € 1,57 million. In the next year, the Group and the Company are to pay to the banks the capital amounts of € 64,02 million and € 63,64 k respectively. Without taking into consideration the short-term loan liabilities, the Group working capital is presented positive by € 467,71 k and the Company's is presented negative by € 4,16 k.

It is noted that the loan of the parent company amounting to € 10,2 million has been extended until 30/09/2018 and the loan amounting to € 43 million has been extended until 3/10/2018.

The Group's Management is at the final stage of an agreement with the lending banks Eurobank & Alpha Bank regarding the conclusion of a new long-term Bond Loan to repay the existing short-term loan liabilities of the parent Company. In this regard, a draft of basic terms has been signed, which is subject to the approval of the authorized committees of the Credit Institutions.

Furthermore, the Group's and the Company's Working Capital needs are expected to be covered by the operating inflows expected to be achieved within the following periods, as seasonality is presented in the Group's activity where the occupancy in the spring months is almost double that of the corresponding winter period.

Two major shareholders of the parent company "NAMSOS ENTERPRISES COMPANY LIMITED" and "DRYNA ENTERPRISES COMPANY LIMITED" 61,86%, although it is estimated that it will not be necessary, are committed to cover working capital subsequent needs for at least the next twelve months from the date of approval of the interim financial statements of 30/06/2018.

It is noted that the financial statements of the companies included in the consolidation have been prepared based on the principle of the going concern.

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

The Group's policy is to minimize its exposure to the risk of changes of fair value due to changes in interest rates as far as long-term financing is concerned. On June 30, 2018, the Company and the Group

are exposed to the risk of changes in market interest regarding their bank borrowings, which, however, is estimated as low.

2. Notes to the Interim Condensed Financial Statements

2.1. General Information

The parent company of the Group is "LAMPSA HELLENIC HOTELS S.A. based in Athens, Vasileos Georgiou Α1, and registered in the Companies Register of the Ministry of Economy, Competitiveness and Shipping, No. REG 6015/06 / V/86/135 and GSC Reg. No. 223101000 and its term of duration is set at one hundred (100) years, which began from the publication in the Government Gazette of the Royal Decree approving its memorandum of association. In addition, the General Meeting of Shareholders held as at 19/06/20015, decided to extend the company's term of duration for fifty (50) years and amend, in this respect, Article 4 of the Articles of Incorporation. The company has been operating continuously since its foundation, over ninety-six (97) consecutive years.

The Group objective is acquisition, construction and operation of hotels in Athens and elsewhere in Greece or abroad, as well as related businesses, such as acquisition and / or exploitation of thermal spring water, resorts, public entertainment, clubs, etc. The Company website is www.lampsa.gr.

The shares of the Group are listed on the Athens Stock Exchange since 1946.

The interim six-month financial statements were approved for issue by the Company Board of Directors on 28 September, 2018.

The company LAMPSA and Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide Inc, signed an agreement on management and hotel operation in December 2001. According to the agreement, Starwood, agreed to provide management and operation services to the hotel «Grande Bretagne». The term of the Management Agreement is initially of twenty five (25) years, with option to extend for another 25 years. Both companies have limited rights to terminate the agreement without reason. In 2013, the agreement was extended in order to include the management of the King George Hotel as well.

In 2010, there was also signed a management agreement with Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc. and Touristika Theretra S.A., the owner of «Sheraton Rhodes Resort» Hotel. The agreement concerns the assumption of operational management of the hotel (operating services agreement). It is to be noted that LAMPSA holds 50% of the shares of Touristika Theretra S.A.

It is to be noted that in 2016, the company Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc. was acquired by Marriott International Inc., and, therefore, Marriott International Inc. manages all three hotels.

In December 2017, the Company proceeded with the acquisition of the historic King George Hotel (including mobile items and brands) from Eurobank Ergasias S.A. for a total consideration of € 43 million. The hotel was leased to LAMPSA S.A. since 2013 and operated under shared management with the neighboring Grande Bretagne. Thus, the leasing expenses related to the hotel and standing at approximately € 1,50 million on annual basis are no longer effective.

2.2. Basis for preparation of interim six-month Financial Statements

LAMPSA Group has fully adopted all IFRSs and interpretations adopted by the European Union and their application is mandatory for the preparation of corporate and consolidated financial statements for the current period.

The Company interim six-month Financial Statements as of 30/06/2018 cover the period from January, 1, 2018 to June 30, 2018 and have been prepared in compliance with International Accounting Standard («IAS») 34 «Interim Financial Reporting».

The accounting policies based on which the interim six-month Financial Statements were prepared and are presented are in accordance with those used in the preparation of the Group and the Company Annual Financial Statements for the FY ended as at December 31, 2017, apart from amendments to the standards, effective as from 01/01/2018.

The interim six-month Financial Statements shall be considered in line with the annual financial statements as of December 31st, 2017, which are available on the parent Company's website www.lampsa.gr.

The interim six-month Financial Statements for the period 1/1 – 30/06/2018 have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified due to revaluation of certain assets and liabilities at fair value and going concern principle.

The preparation of interim six-month Financial Statements according to IFRSs requires use of accounting estimates and judgments of the Management under the application of the accounting principles. It also requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on the best knowledge of the Management with respect to current events and actions, actual results may finally differ from those estimates.

2.3. Changes to Accounting Policies

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

The following new Standards, Interpretations and amendments of IFRSs have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), are adopted by the European Union, and their application is mandatory from or after 01/01/2018.

IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" (effective for annual periods starting on 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 effect of the new Standard is reported in Note 2.4

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 effect of the new Standard is reported in Note 2.4

Clarification to IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2018)

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. The effect of the new Standard is reported in Note 2.4

• Amendment to IFRS 2: "Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2018)

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 and separate Financial Statements.

Amendments to IFRS 4: "Applying IFRS 9 Financial Instruments with IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2018)

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 and separate Financial Statements.

Annual Improvements to IFRSs – 2014-2016 Cycle (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2018)

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 and separate Financial Statements.

Amendments to IAS 40: "Transfers of Investment Property" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2018)

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 and separate Financial Statements.

IFRIC 22 "Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2018)

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 affect the consolidated and separate Financial Statements.

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

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

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

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 recognise assets and liabilities arising from a lease. The practical effect arising from IFRS 16 implementation on the Group financial statements will depend – on one hand – on the leases condition effective till the first implementation data and – on the other hand - on the Group interests on borrowings. The above have been adopted by the European Union with effective date of 01/01/2019.

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 amortised 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.

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 not been adopted by the European Union.

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 not been adopted by the European Union.

Amendments to IAS 19: "Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 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 not been adopted by the European Union.

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 not been adopted by the European Union.

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

In March 2018, the IASB issued the revised Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (Conceptual Framework), the objective of which was to incorporate some important issues that were not covered, as well as update and clarify some guidance that was unclear or out of date. The revised Conceptual Framework includes a new chapter on measurement, which analyzes the concept on measurement, including factors to be considered when selecting a measurement basis, concepts on presentation and disclosure, and guidance on derecognition of assets and liabilities from financial statements. In addition, the revised Conceptual Framework includes improved definitions of an asset and a liability, guidance

Six-month Financial Report for the period from January 1 to June 30, 2018 All the amounts are expressed in thousands of Euro unless stated otherwise

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.

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

In March 2018, the IASB issued Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework, following its revision. Some Standards include explicit references to previous versions of the Conceptual Framework. The objective of these amendments is to update those references so that they refer to the revised Conceptual Framework and to support transition to the revised Conceptual Framework. The 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.

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

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.

2.4. Effect of changes in accounting policies

IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments"

The Group and the Company implement the Standard starting on 01/01/2018 without revising the prior periods comparative information.

Classification and Measurement

Attention has been paid to IFRS 9 approach, which is affected by the business model to which an asset belongs as well as by the cash flow characteristics. Following the aforementioned review, the Group and the Company consider that there is no impact on the classification and measurement of its trade and other receivables, which will continue to be measured at amortized cost

In addition, for the most part, IFRS 9 maintains the effective provisions IAS 39 regarding Classification of Financial Liabilities. The only change relates to liabilities recognized at fair value through profit or loss where, under IFRS 9, changes arising from credit risk will be recognized in other comprehensive income. Other changes in fair value will be recognized in the income statement.

The Group and the Company have no financial liabilities that are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Consequently, the Group estimates that there is no impact arising from the classification of financial liabilities.

Impairment

IFRS 9 introduces a new method of calculating the impairment based on expected credit losses that leads to a more direct recognition of impairment. At the same time, it introduces a simplified calculation method regarding trade and financial receivables.

The Group and the Company have determined that their trade receivables and other financial assets are of low credit risk and will adopt the simplified method of expected credit losses. Given the low credit risk of the Group and Company transactions, the implementation of the new standard has not generated the need to make additional provisions as at 01/01/2018, while on 30/06/2018, the Group and the Company made additional provision amounting to € 50,5 k arising from the implementation of the Standard. The

Six-month Financial Report for the period from January 1 to June 30, 2018 All the amounts are expressed in thousands of Euro unless stated otherwise

additional amount arising as at 30/06/2018 is due to the seasonality recorded in the receivables within the interim period related to touristic season.

Hedge Accounting

IFRS 9 requires an entity to confirm that hedge accounting is in line with its risk management activities and that if applies a more qualitative and future-oriented approach to assessing its effectiveness. Furthermore, IFRS 9 introduces enhanced disclosures and does not allow for voluntary discontinuation of hedge accounting.

The Group and the Company do not apply hedge accounting.

IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers"

The Group and the Company implement the Standard starting on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method, ie the effect from the transition will be recognized cumulatively in retained earnings while the comparative amounts will not be modified.

Rendering services

Most of the revenues for the Group come from rendering services related to the rental of rooms, use of hotel facilities, catering services, use of the building facilities. Under IFRS 15, revenue is recognized at a given point in time when the obligation to perform the service is met. Under the existing revenue recognition accounting policy, the Group and the Company recognize revenue for services when they are rendered. Therefore, the implementation of the new Standard will not have a significant effect on the Financial Statements.

Principal/Agent distinction

When a third party is involved in provision of goods or services, the Group and the Company shall determine whether the nature of the service offer is an obligation to perform services by itself (that is, it is the principal) or not (that is, it is the agent). Based on the assessment performed so far, the Group acts as the principal regarding the largest part of the transactions. In cases when the Group and the Company act as agents, they shall only recognize net profit as income. Implementation of the new Standard has resulted in offsetting the amount of € 353 k of cost of sales and sales without affecting the Group and the Company results.

Voucher

The Group and the Company receive prepayments from customers and recognize a contractual obligation equal to the amount of prepayment for the obligation to transfer goods or services in the future. The Group and the Company recognize revenue when they transfer these goods or services and, consequently, fulfill the obligation in question. However, customers may not exercise all their contractual rights. Under the new standard, the Group and the Company shall estimate whether they will be entitled to an amount by not redeeming the rewards. If it has been defined that the Group and the Company are entitled to an amount from non-redeeming rewards, then they will recognize the estimated benefit as revenue when the probability of residual rights being exercised by the client is minimized. The implementation of the new Standard has no significant effect on the Financial Statements.

The following tables present the adjustments recognized in respect of every item of the Statement of Financial Position as at January 1st , 2018, following the implementation of IFRS 15 and IFRS 9:

2.5. Segment reporting

In accordance with the provisions of IFRS 8, the identification of operating segments is based on the "Management approach". According to this approach, the information to be disclosed regarding the operating segments should be based on internal organizational and management structure of the Group and the main items of internal financial reporting provided to the key decision makers. The Management

Six-month Financial Report for the period from January 1 to June 30, 2018 All the amounts are expressed in thousands of Euro unless stated otherwise

monitors the operating results of its operating segments separately for the purpose of making decisions on resource allocation and performance assessment thereof. It is to be noted that the Group applies the same accounting principles for the measurement of operating segment's results as those in the Financial Statements.

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

The operating segments presented include renting rooms, food and beverage sales and other activities (Income SPA-Health Club, Telephone Revenue, etc.). The Group results, assets and liabilities per segment in respect of the presented periods are analyzed as follows:

In the first semester of 20178 the tourism sector substantially improved, since there was an increase in arrivals, in line with an increase in revenue. On the contrary, the consequences of the economic crisis are reflected in the revenue of the Food & Beverage segment, where Greek presence has been traditionally strong, resulting in a lower rate of revenue growth compared to the room revenue increase.

Six-month Financial Report for the period from January 1 to June 30, 2018 All the amounts are expressed in thousands of Euro unless stated otherwise

Stabilization in room occupancy ration can also be observed in the Serbian hotel market, after the increase of the last two years, since demand is showing signs of recovery, assisted by the new foundations caused by Serbia's admission to the EU (airports, privatization of air transportation operator etc). However, an increase in revenue has not been recorded owing to extensive competition from a high number of new hotels in the Belgrade area.

Room occupancy ratio of the luxury hotel industry in Athens increased by 3,7% compared to the relative sixmonth period of 2017, adjusting the ratio to 72,5% versus 69,9% in 2017. The average room price at the hotels increased by 9,7% versus 2017, standing at € 164,56 as compared to € 149,95 in 2017.

In terms of EBITDA, the relative increase in sales and expenditure restraint (despite rigidity of payroll expenses) resulted in increased sizes for the Group (€9,12 million versus € 6,70 million in 2017) with a significant improvement for the Company (€ 7,29 million versus € 4,67 in the respective period of 2017). Moreover, Sheraton Rhodes Hotel, presented an increase in sales by 5,7%.

2.21. Risk management policies

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

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

Since 2008, the Group applies a risk management program for such risks. The risk management program aims to limit the negative impact on the financial results of the group caused by the unpredictability of financial markets and the variation in the variables of cost and revenue. The group intends to use, in the near future, derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to specific risk categories.

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

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

Currency Risk

The Group operates internationally and carries out trade and loan transaction in foreign currency. Therefore, it is exposed to foreign currency translation differences (another major country of the Group's operations, apart from Greece, is Serbia). The Parent Company exposure to currency risk arises mainly from the bond loan issued in US Dollars.

Credit Risk

Over 80% of Group's sales are performed through credit cards, the credit sales though are made to customers with evaluated credit history.

Liquidity Risk

As at 30/06/2018, the Group had negative working capital, as current liabilities exceed current assets by € 63,55 k (parent company € 67,80 k). A significant part of current liabilities (76,06% regarding the Group and 76,78% regarding the parent company) pertains to short-term debt and long-term debt installments payable in the following year. Within the current period, the Group repaid to the banks a capital amount of € 1,66 million and the parent Company – an amount of € 1,57 million. In the next year, the Group and the Company are to pay to the banks the capital amounts of € 64,02 million and € 63,64 k respectively. Without taking into consideration the short-term loan liabilities, the Group working capital is presented positive by € 467,71 k and the Company's is presented negative by € 4,16 k.

It is noted that the loan of the parent company amounting to € 10,2 million has been extended until 30/09/2018 and the loan amounting to € 43 million has been extended until 3/10/2018.

The Group's Management is at the final stage of an agreement with the lending banks Eurobank & Alpha Bank regarding the conclusion of a new long-term Bond Loan to repay the existing short-term loan liabilities of the parent Company. In this regard, a draft of basic terms has been signed, which is subject to the approval of the authorized committees of the Credit Institutions.

Furthermore, the Group's and the Company's Working Capital needs are expected to be covered by the operating inflows expected to be achieved within the following periods, as seasonality is presented in the Group's activity where the occupancy in the spring months is almost double that of the corresponding winter period.

Two major shareholders of the parent company "NAMSOS ENTERPRISES COMPANY LIMITED" and "DRYNA ENTERPRISES COMPANY LIMITED" 61,86%, although it is estimated that it will not be necessary, are

Six-month Financial Report for the period from January 1 to June 30, 2018 All the amounts are expressed in thousands of Euro unless stated otherwise

committed to cover working capital subsequent needs for at least the next twelve months from the date of approval of the interim financial statements of 30/06/2018.

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

The Group's policy is to minimize its exposure to the risk of changes of fair value due to changes in interest rates as far as long-term financing is concerned. On June 30, 2018, the Company and the Group are exposed to the risk of changes in market interest regarding their bank borrowings, which, however, is estimated as low.

2.22. Post Interim Period Balance Sheet Events
