The subsidiaries and especially the retail trading companies have developed and continue to develop a significant chain of stores in Greece and abroad.

Retail Trading of Home Furniture and Household Goods (IKEA stores): The segment currently

operates seven (7) IKEA Stores, five (5) of which in Greece, one (1) in Cyprus and one (1) in Bulgaria. Moreover, five (5) Pick up & Order Points with IKEA products are operating in Greece in Rhodes Island, Patras, Chania, Heraklion and Komotini, two (2) in Bulgaria in Varna and Burgas, as well as three (3) e-commerce Stores in Greece, Cyprus and Bulgaria.

INTERSPORT stores added to the network during period 1/1 - 30/6/2018: one (1) new store in Turkey, Istanbul (20/4/2018) while, on 1/1/2018 a Store in the same city terminated its operation. Moreover, ecommerce Stores are operating in Greece and Romania. TAF stores operating on 30/6/2018 are fourteen (14), twelve (12) of which in Greece and two (2) in Turkey.

5. Information about Group's plan of development (2nd semester 2018)

The Group continues to implement its investing program emphasizing in the retail trading of sporting goods segment (INTERSPORT and TAF Stores) where it is considered that there are expansion possibilities under the current conditions. Within the second semester of 2018, four (4) to five (5) new INTERSPORT and TAF Stores are expected to be added to the segment.

Including the new e-commerce Stores which will start operating in Bulgaria and Cyprus within the second semester of 2018 but also those already operating in Greece and Romania, the stores chain of the segment at the end of 2018, is expected to have one hundred and twenty (120) stores in all countries (Greece, Romania, Bulgaria, Cyprus and Turkey) where the Group operates, a fact which will strengthen its presence and revenues within the second semester of 2018 compared to the first semester.

The home furniture and household goods segment, which operates seven (7) IKEA Stores, seven (7) Pick up & Order Points in all countries where the Group operates (Greece, Cyprus and Bulgaria) as well as e-commerce Stores in all aforementioned countries, is also expected to contribute with increased revenues within the second semester of 2018 compared to the first semester. Moreover, a new Pick Up & Order Point in Bulgaria (Plovdiv) is expected to start operating within the second semester of 2018.

Despite the fact that the consequences on high taxation of households and companies restrict the available sources for consumption and investments, the Management of the Group expects that the second semester will have a higher financial performance regarding financial results compared to the first semester, due to historically increased revenues within the second semester, strong competitive position of retail companies of the Group but also due to balanced expansion of its activities and therefore its income. These estimations regarding the improvement of financial data of the Group within the second semester of 2018, are directly depended on the financial and political conditions

especially in Greece, from where the biggest part of its revenues arises (60,2% 1st semester 2018), where the reforms implementation speed is the criteria for the attraction of investments and consumption increase.

The negative impact of the ongoing devaluation of Turkish Lira on the financials of the Group are limited due to the small size of the subsidiary in Turkey (4,2% of revenues for the 1 st semester 2018 and 2,9% of total assets on 30/6/2018) while, the mid-term prospect of recovery of Turkish Lira is significant. The Group issued a relevant Press Release on 16/8/2018.

Education and training of human capital, the constant and fair evaluation in all levels as well as dedication to the values of the Group - "Integrity", "Respect" and "Efficiency" – continue to compose major comparative advantages through which the Group aims to achieve its goals.

7. Fourlis Group – Major Threats & Uncertainties

a) Financial Risk Management

The Group is exposed to financial risks such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and liquidity risk.

Foreign Exchange Risk:

The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from transactions in foreign currencies (RON, USD, TRY, SEK) with suppliers which invoice the Group in currencies other than the local.

The Group is subject to cash flow risk which in the case of possible variable interest rates fluctuation, may affect positively or negatively the cash inflows or outflows related to the Group's assets or liabilities.

Cash flow risk is minimized via the availability of adequate credit lines and cash. Also, the Group has entered into Interest Rate Swap (IRS) contracts in order to face interest rate risk.

In this context and in order to support the Group's employees, the Corporate Social Responsibility Department continued the EF ZIN program, a wellness program implemented since 2010, aiming to motivate employees towards a healthier lifestyle.

Furthermore, the Group's Scholarships program continued, giving the opportunity to employees' children in Greece, who study away from their permanent place of residence and whose families are experiencing financial difficulties, to continue their studies.

Some of the actions implemented by the FOURLIS Group, during the same period, for the support of the society are:

  • A voluntary blood donation organized at the Group companies' premises in Greece, Cyprus and Bulgaria.
  • The FURNISHED WITH JOY program in the context of which, since 2013, HOUSEMARKET S.A.

  • Support to the work of Foundations and Organizations, either by donating products or by providing discounts for the purchase of products from the IKEA and INTERSPORT stores.

In the framework of the actions taken for the protection of the environment, the FOURLIS Group continued to implement programs and actions that are not limited to those dictated by the environmental legislation, taking initiatives that highlight the environmental awareness as a special value for the Group. Typical such examples are the recycling programs implemented by the Group's companies, interventions aimed at improving the energy efficiency of their premises, the use of renewable energy sources to support their operations and the promotion of environmentally friendly products.

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

Scope of review

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

Conclusion

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

2. Basis of presentation of the Financial Statements

The accompanying Interim Condensed Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standard for the Interim Financial Statements (IAS 34) and as a result they do not include all information necessary for the annual financial statements. Consequently, they have to be read in combination with the published financial statements of the Group of 31/12/2017, uploaded on the website: http://www.fourlis.gr. The Board of Directors approved the Interim Condensed Financial Statements on 3/9/2018.

The Interim Condensed Financial Statements are presented in thousands of Euro, unless otherwise stated and any differentiations in sums are due to rounding.

3. Significant accounting policies - Changes in accounting policies and disclosures

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except for the following amended IFRSs which have been adopted by the Group and Company as of 1 January 2018:

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement

The final version of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments reflects all phases of the financial instruments project and replaces IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and all previous versions of IFRS 9. The standard introduces new requirements for classification and measurement, impairment, and hedge accounting. Management of the Company and Group has made an assessment of the effect of the standard and does not expect significant impact on their financial statements.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

IFRS 15 establishes a five-step model which will apply for income earned from a contract with a customer (with limited exceptions), regardless of the type of transaction or industry. The new standard is based on the principle that the income is recognized when control of a product or service is transferred to the customer. The Group adopted the new standard at the required date by implementing the modified retrospective adoption. The new standard does not introduce substantial differences from current accounting policies of the Group and therefore, it has not significant reflection to consolidation financial statements upon its completion. The Group operates in retail trading of furniture and household goods and sporting goods. According to IFRS 15, Revenue from contracts with customers, the Group recognizes revenue when control of the products is transferred, being when the products are delivered to the customer. Therefore, the adoption of IFRS 15 did not have an impact at the time of the revenue recognition. Net sales revenue excludes amounts collected by third parties such as value added taxes (VAT), as these are not included in the transaction price.

However, future discounts related to customer loyalty programs of the Group's companies create a right which must be recognized when exercised or expired, only if it is considered substantial and the customer would not acquire it if the initial transaction was not implemented. The Group provides discounts to its customers based on the points gathered from transactions made by using the customer loyalty program card. All these discounts are arranged within 18 to 24 months depending on the program. According to the requirements of the standard, the Group estimates that these discounts represent substantial right for customers, create obligation for execution and therefore part of the income of each transaction which corresponds to this right will be recognized when exercised (fulfilment of obligation) or expired. The Group estimates the fair value of unredeemed points by using historical data and assessing their exercise possibility. IFRS 15 neither excludes nor defines a specific methodology for the estimation of the price of the point gathered as long as the estimation composes a reliable reflection of the price at which the Group would provide separately this product to the customer. The impact of the standard's implementation regarding the consolidated financial statements appears in income and liabilities. Particularly, the cumulative readjustment of retained earnings upon adoption of the new standard is of amount € 2,06 mil while, the impact on revenue of the 1 st semester 2018 is of amount € 376 th. For the Group, total liability arising from customer loyalty scheme amounts to € 3.133 th. on 30/6/2018 (€ 2.757 th. on 31/12/2017).

IFRS 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Clarifications)

The objective of the clarifications is to clarify the IASB's intentions when developing the requirements of IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, regarding (a) the accounting of identifying performance obligations amending the wording of the "separately identifiable" principle, (b) principal versus agent considerations including the assessment of whether an entity is a principal or an agent as well as applications of control principle and (c) licensing providing additional guidance for accounting of intellectual property and royalties. The clarifications also provide additional practical expedients for entities that either apply IFRS 15 fully retrospectively or that elect to apply the modified retrospective approach.

IFRS 2: Classification and Measurement of Share based Payment Transactions (Amendments)

The amendments provide requirements on the accounting for (a) the effects of vesting and nonvesting conditions on the measurement of cash-settled share-based payments, (b) for share-based payment transactions with a net settlement feature for withholding tax obligations and (c) for modifications to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment that changes the classification of the transaction from cash-settled to equity-settled. Management does not expect that the amendment has an impact on the companies of the Group.

IAS 40: Transfers to Investment Property (Amendments)

The Amendments clarify when an entity should transfer property, including property under construction or development into, or out of investment property. The Amendments state that a change in use occurs when the property meets, or ceases to meet, the definition of investment property and there is evidence of the change in use. A mere change in management's intentions for the use of a property does not provide evidence of a change in use. Management does not expect that the amendment has an impact on the companies of the Group.

IFRIC INTERPETATION 22: Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration

The Interpretation clarifies the accounting for transactions that include the receipt or payment of advance consideration in a foreign currency. The Interpretation covers foreign currency transactions when an entity recognizes a non-monetary asset or a non-monetary liability arising from the payment or receipt of advance consideration before the entity recognizes the related asset, expense or income. The Interpretation states that the date of the transaction, for the purpose of determining the exchange rate, is the date of initial recognition of the non-monetary prepayment asset or deferred income liability. If there are multiple payments or receipts in advance, then the entity must determine a date of the transactions for each payment or receipt of advance consideration. Management does not expect that the amendment has an impact on the companies of the Group.

The IASB has issued the Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2014 – 2016 Cycle, which is a collection of amendments to IFRSs. Management does not expect that the amendment will have an impact on the companies of the Group.

  • IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards: This improvement deletes the short-term exemptions regarding disclosures about financial instruments, employee benefits and investment entities, applicable for first time adopters.
  • IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures: The amendments clarify that the election to measure at fair value through profit or loss an investment in an associate or a joint venture that is held by an entity that is venture capital organization, or other qualifying entity, is available for each investment in an associate or joint venture on an investment-byinvestment basis, upon initial recognition.

Standards issued but not yet effective and not early adopted

IFRS 16: Leases

The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. IFRS 16 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract, i.e. the customer ('lessee') and the supplier ('lessor'). The new standard requires lessees to recognize most leases on their financial statements. Lessees will have a single accounting model for all leases, with certain exemptions. Lessor accounting is substantially unchanged. The standard will mainly affect the accounting of operating leasing of the Group. Management of the Group estimates that this standard will have a significant impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements, given that the present value of future payments of operating leasing of the Stores will be recognized as a right to use asset and as a bearing interest liability. Now, the future payments of leases are mentioned in the notes of financial statements as commitments from operating leasing at their nominal value. These commitments, at the end of the 1 st semester of 2018, are calculated at the amount of € 216 million (Note 18). The Group is in the process of assessing the impact of the standard's adoption. Given that the preview of the relevant impact of IFRS 16 requires the assessment of all leasing contracts, the selection of the transition method and other judgements of the Management, the impact of the adoption of the standard can be reliably assessed only after the whole procedure is completed.

Amendment in IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures: Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture

The amendments address an acknowledged inconsistency between the requirements in IFRS 10 and those in IAS 28, in dealing with the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate

or joint venture. The main consequence of the amendments is that a full gain or loss is recognized when a transaction involves a business (whether it is housed in a subsidiary or not). A partial gain or loss is recognized when a transaction involves assets that do not constitute a business, even if these assets are housed in a subsidiary. In December 2015 the IASB postponed the effective date of this amendment indefinitely pending the outcome of its research project on the equity method of accounting. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU. Management of the Group and Company does not expect significant impact of the specific amendment on the financial statements.

IFRS 9: Prepayment features with negative compensation (Amendment)

The Amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019 with earlier application permitted. The Amendment allows financial assets with prepayment features that permit or require a party to a contract either to pay or receive reasonable compensation for the early termination of the contract (so that, from the perspective of the holder of the asset there may be 'negative compensation'), to be measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income. Management of the Group and Company does not expect significant impact of the specific amendment on the financial statements.

IAS 28: Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures (Amendments)

The Amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019 with earlier application permitted. The Amendments relate to whether the measurement, in particular impairment requirements, of long term interests in associates and joint ventures that, in substance, form part of the 'net investment' in the associate or joint venture should be governed by IFRS 9, IAS 28 or a combination of both. The Amendments clarify that an entity applies IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, before it applies IAS 28, to such long-term interests for which the equity method is not applied. In applying IFRS 9, the entity does not take account of any adjustments to the carrying amount of long- term interests that arise from applying IAS 28. These Amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU. Management of the Group and Company does not expect significant impact of the specific amendment on the financial statements.

IFRIC INTERPETATION 23: Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments

The Interpretation is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019 with earlier application permitted. The Interpretation addresses the accounting for income taxes when tax treatments involve uncertainty that affects the application of IAS 12. The Interpretation provides guidance on considering uncertain tax treatments separately or together, examination by tax authorities, the appropriate method to reflect uncertainty and accounting for changes in facts and circumstances. This Interpretation has not yet been endorsed by the EU. Management is in the process of assessing the impact on the companies of the Group.

IAS 19: Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement (Amendments)

The Amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019 with earlier application permitted. The amendments require entities to use updated actuarial assumptions to determine current service cost and net interest for the remainder of the annual reporting period after a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement has occurred. The amendments also clarify how the accounting for a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement affects applying the asset ceiling requirements. These Amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU. Management of the Group and Company does not expect significant impact of the specific amendment on the financial statements.

Conceptual Framework in IFRS standards

The IASB issued the revised Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting on 29 March 2018. The Conceptual Framework sets out a comprehensive set of concepts for financial reporting, standard setting, guidance for preparers in developing consistent accounting policies and assistance to others in their efforts to understand and interpret the standards. IASB also issued a separate accompanying document, Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards, which sets out the amendments to affected standards in order to update references to the revised Conceptual Framework. It's objective is to support transition to the revised Conceptual Framework for companies that develop accounting policies using the Conceptual Framework when no IFRS Standard applies to a particular transaction. For preparers who develop accounting policies based on the Conceptual Framework, it is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020.

The IASB has issued the Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2015 – 2017 Cycle, which is a collection of amendments to IFRSs. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019 with earlier application permitted. These annual improvements have not yet been endorsed by the EU. Management is in the process of assessing the impact on the financial statements of the Group and Company.

  • IFRS 3 Business Combinations and IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements: The amendments to IFRS 3 clarify that when an entity obtains control of a business that is a joint operation, it remeasures previously held interests in that business. The amendments to IFRS 11 clarify that when an entity obtains joint control of a business that is a joint operation, the entity does not remeasure previously held interests in that business.
  • IAS 12 Income Taxes: The amendments clarify that the income tax consequences of payments on financial instruments classified as equity should be recognized according to where the past transactions or events that generated distributable profits has been recognized.

IAS 23 Borrowing Costs: The amendments clarify paragraph 14 of the standard that, when a qualifying asset is ready for its intended use or sale, and some of the specific borrowing related to that qualifying asset remains outstanding at that point, that borrowing is to be included in the funds that an entity borrows generally.

4. Financial Risk Management

Policies regarding financial risk and capital management of the Group are those analyzed in the annual financial statements of 31/12/2017.

5. Management Estimates

The preparation of the Interim Condensed Financial Statements according to IFRS requires the management to make estimations and assumptions that may influence the accounting balances of Assets & Liabilities, the disclosures relating to Contingent Receivables & Payables, along with the recording of the amounts of Revenues and Expenses, recorded during the current period. The use of available information and subjective judgment are an integral part of making assumptions.

Future results may vary from the above estimates. Management's estimates and adjustments are under constant evaluation, based on historical data and the expectations for future events which are considered as realistic under the current circumstances. Management estimates and adjustments are consistent with those followed for the issuance of the Annual Financial Statements Separate and Consolidated for the year ended 31/12/2017.

The negative impact from the ongoing devaluation of Turkish Lira on the Group's financials are limited mainly due to the small size of the subsidiary in Turkey (4,2% of revenues for the 1st semester of 2018 and 2,9% of assets on 30/6/2018) while, the mid-term prospect of recovery of the Turkish market is significant. The Group issued a relevant Press Release on 16/8/2018.

There are no other significant events following the date of 30/6/2018 that may affect the financial position and results of the Group other than those mentioned in Note 11 for the capital return to shareholders of the Company.
