Τhe Group decided to assign the study to determine the market value of the properties of the Group, in accordance with IFRS, to independent recognized estimators. The study was completed and turned over at the beginning of March 2016, however the Group adjusted the value of its properties on 31.12.2015 in line with the results of the study.
Even though the estimation report did not reveal a significant total discrepancy with the book value of the properties at the Group level, as recorded in the accounts, it did show significant deviations at the company level, in particular buildings, as well as significant value differences between the plots of land and the buildings at those properties. As a result, it may be noted that the estimate significantly reduces the value of the plots of land at the Group level, and increases the value of the buildings. As a result, in the years to follow, the Group will be obliged to record increased depreciation levels.
The book value of the assets of the Group per building on 31.03.2017 is summarily presented in the following table:

From its participation in the subsidiary ATHEXCSD, the Company received in fiscal year 2016 dividends of €4,013,000 (802,600 shares x €5.00 per share) concerning fiscal year 2015.
Despite the worsening of the business climate in Greece, and taking into consideration the latest positive developments, it is expected that the difficult financial conditions will be overcome and that, due to the fact that ATHEX and its subsidiaries continue to be profitable, no impairment loss arises. The gradual recovery of the business environment following the expected positive review and execution of the obligations of the Memorandum will remove all existing restrictions that are hindering business activity.
All claims are short term and, therefore, no discounting is required on the date of the statement of financial position. The breakdown of clients and other receivables is shown in the following table:

The valuation of the 13,365,316 Bank of Piraeus shares in the possession of the Company resulted in a €521 thousand loss on 31.3.2017 for Q1 2017, due to the share closing at €0.17 (value on 31.3.2017: €2,272,104), i.e. lower than the share price of €0.209 on 31.12.2016. In accordance with IAS 39, the share valuation loss is reported in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI), thus reducing by an equal amount the relevant reserve that had been formed on 31.12.2016 (€1,002 thousand).

Expenses and bank commissions over the same period amounted to €30 thousand (31.03.2016: €25 thousand) for the Group and €2 thousand for the Company (31.03.2016: €1 thousand). The breakdown of the cash at hand and at bank of the Group is as follows:

Other data concerns the tax corresponding to the valuation and sale of participations and securities.
Deferred income tax is calculated based on the temporary differences, which arise between the book value of the assets and the liabilities included in the financial statements, and the tax assessment of their value in accordance with the tax legislation.
The charge for deferred income tax (deferred tax liability) in the Statement of Comprehensive Income (OCI) includes the temporary tax differences that arise mainly from the accounted revenue-profits which will be taxed at a future time. The credit for deferred tax (deferred tax claim) includes mainly the temporary tax differences that arise from specific provisions, which are tax deductible at the time they are formed. Debit and credit deferred tax balances are offset when there is a legally enforceable offset right, and the deferred tax claims and liabilities concern income taxes collected by the tax authorities.
The Repetitive General Meeting of shareholders of 9.6.2016 approved another share capital return to shareholders, with a corresponding reduction in the share par value.

The company is in progress of implementing a share buyback program. The proposed program was approved by the 14th Annual General Meeting of shareholders on 20.5.2015 with the following terms:
The share buyback program begun on 9.2.2016, and up until 31.03.2017, 4,820,130 own shares were purchased (7.37% of the number of shares outstanding of the company) at an average price of €4.62 per share and a total cost of €22,274,683, which is shown as reducing equity on the balance sheet of 31.03.2017.
Up until 20.4.2017 more treasury stock was purchased, and as a result total treasury stock is 5,020,563 shares corresponding to 7.68% of the number of shares outstanding of the Company, at an average acquisition price €4.63 and at a total cost of €23,244,794. Out of the above treasury stock, it will be proposed that 95%, corresponding to 4,767,563 shares, be cancelled at the upcoming Annual General Meeting of shareholders on 24.5.2017 and the 1st Repetitive General Meeting on 9.6.2017. Following the cancellation of the abovementioned number of shares and the €4,006,432.92 reduction in share capital, 251,000 shares in treasury stock will remain in the possession of the Company, while the total number of shares outstanding of the Company will be 60,599,000.
According to EMIR Regulation (article 45 of the EU 20. 648/2012) a clearing house must keep lines of defense in case of member's default (default water fall).
In accordance with article 35 of the technical standards, for clearinghouses the amount of the own assets of central counterparties that are used as line of defense in case of default is calculated, and in particular:
The Central Counterparty reviews the minimum amount in question on an annual basis.
Based on the above, as a recognized clearing house, ATHEXClear drafted a report "Methodology for calculating capital requirements", in cooperation with consultants, in which the methodology applied was described in order to estimate the capital requirements for credit risk, counterparty risk, market risk, winding down risk, operating risk and business risk. The methodology applied was based on the following:
Based on the above, ATHEXClear regularly calculates its capital requirements which are required in order to fulfill its regulatory obligations on a quarterly basis, and reports it in its financial statements.
If ATHEXClear equity, as calculated above, is less than 110% of the capital requirements, or less than 110% of the €7.5m threshold notification, ATHEXClear will immediately notify the relevant authority (Hellenic Capital Market Commission), and will continue to keep it informed on a weekly basis, until the amount of capital it possesses exceeds the notification threshold.
ATHEXClear's capital requirements on 31.03.2017 are broken down in the table below:
| Capital requirements | |
|---|---|
| Risk type | Capital requirements 31.03.2017 |
| Credit risk (total) | 200 |
| Derivatives market | 0 |
| Cash market | 0 |
| Investment of own assets | 200 |
| Market risk | 0 |
| Exchange rate risk | 0 |
| Operating risk | 100 |
| Winding down risk | 3,585 |
| Business risk | 1,793 |
| Total Capital requirements | 5,678 |
| Notification Threshold | 6,245 |
| (110% of capital requirements) | |
| Additional special resources | 1,419 |
| (25% of capital requirements of 31.12.2016) |
ATHEXClear equity amounting to €29.7m, as reported in the statement of financial position of ATHEXClear on 31.03.2017 exceeded its capital requirements, as calculated above.
The additional special resources of €1,419 thousand that correspond to 25% of the capital requirements are distributed as follows on 31.03.2017: €832 thousand in the cash market and €587 thousand in the derivatives market.
The Group shows an amount of €63 thousand in Q1 2017, which concerns grants a) by the Ministry of Northern Greece in the amount of €13 thousand for the purchase of equipment in order for ATHEXCSD (former TSEC) to promote its activities in northern Greece; b) withholding on compensation (Law 103/75) in the amount of €50 thousand, which concerns the Company.

Reconciliation of the income tax with profits/losses before tax on the basis of the applicable ratios and the tax expense is as follows:
| GROUP | COMPANY | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Income tax | 31.03.2017 | 31.03.2016 | 31.03.2017 | 31.03.2016 |

| Tax effect of non-deductible expenses | 4 | 75 | 5 | 75 |
| Income tax expense | 184 | 863 | 90 | 480 |
Non-taxable income refers mainly to dividend income from subsidiaries, which is eliminated on a consolidated basis. Thus the tax rate calculated on the accounting profits increases, since the corresponding taxable profits are larger. Furthermore, the resulting effective tax rate on the consolidated profits is larger than the nominal tax rate in effect because – during the current fiscal year- there are intra-Group transactions.
The losses from the bank bonds have a different accounting treatment in IFRS compared to tax accounting, and are the main reason for the creation of deferred tax.
All of the above result in the sum (from the individual subsidiary companies) of the tax to be greater than that which would have been, had the nominal tax rate (29%) applied on consolidated profits, since it is the profits of each company separately that are subject to taxation, and not the consolidated profits.
On 30.9.2016, within the time limits of the law, the Company filed an administrative appeal in accordance with article 63 of Law 4174/2013 at the Dispute Settlement Directorate (DED) of the General Secretariat of Public Revenue (GGDE), against the findings of the tax audit, and at the same time paid 100% of the amount due i.e.
€1,562 thousand, in order to avoid the accumulation, calculation and assessment of interest for the duration of the suspension of the sum due (article 53 §1 of law 4174/2013).
The DED finding, which was received on 15.2.2017, reduces the total amount by €573 thousand, to €988 thousand. This difference will be received from the appropriate tax office. The Company has further appealed (16.03.2017) to the Administrative Courts in order to significantly reduce the amount assessed by the tax audit.
The status of the tax audits for the companies of the Group, by fiscal year, is as follows:

The BoD of the Athens Exchange decided to propose the distribution of €0.06 per share, i.e. a payout of €3,922,113.78, as dividend from the profits of fiscal year 2016, as well as the return of capital to shareholders of €0.24 per share, i.e. a payout of €15,688,455.12. The actual amounts per share will be €0.06499 and €0.2599 respectively, due to the existence of treasury stock (which is not entitled to receive cash distributions). The proposals of the BoD for the distribution of dividend and the return of capital are expected to be approved by shareholders at the 16 th Annual General meeting on 24.5.2017 and the 1st Repetitive GM on 9.6.2017 respectively.
The net after tax profit of the Group in Q1 2017 amounted to €436 thousand or €0.01 per share, while after including other comprehensive income it amounted to €66 thousand or €0.001 per share. The average weighted number of shares on 31.03.2017 was 60,944,326 shares.
The Group is involved in legal proceedings with employees, members of the Athens Exchange, listed companies as well as with third parties. The management of the Group and its legal counsel estimate that the outcome of these cases will not have a significant effect on the financial position or the results of the operation of the Group and the Company.
The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA/2015/1415el) published the final guidelines on the Alternative Performance Measures (APMs) that apply starting on 3 July 2016 to companies with transferable securities traded in organized exchanges. APMs are published by the issuers during the publication of regulated information, and aim to improve transparency and promote usability as well as correct and comprehensive information of investors.
APMs must always be taken into consideration in conjunction with the financial results that have been drafted based on IFRS, and in no instance should it be consider that they replace them. The Athens Exchange Group is using these adjusted APMs in order to better reflect the financial and operational performance related to the activity of the Group as such in the fiscal year in question, as well as the previous comparable period.
Based on the first quarter 2017 financial statements there are no significant items that affect the adjustment of the indices used in order to calculate APMs, and there is no deviation between conventional measures and APMs.
In effect, from the data used on 31.12.2016, the only one affecting the adjustment of APMs on 31.03.2017 is share valuation.
The itemized data that affects the adjustment of the measures (APMs) on 31.03.2017 and 31.03.2016 are shown in the table below:
