The accounting principles used for the preparation of the present Interim Condensed Financial Information is in line with those used during the preparation and those included in detail in the Annual Financial Statements of the period ended on 31 December 2015.

When deemed necessary, the comparative data have been reclassified in order to conform to possible changes in the presentation of the data of the present year.

2.2 New standards, amendments of standards and interpretations

New standards, amendments of standards and interpretations: Certain new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been issued that are mandatory for periods beginning during the current financial year or subsequent years. The Group's assessment regarding the effect of these new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations is presented below.

Standards and Interpretations mandatory for the present financial year

IAS 19 Revised (Amendment) "Employee Benefits"

The amendment is of limited scope and applies to the contributions made by employees or third parties to defined benefit plans. It simplifies the accounting of contributions when they are not dependent of the employee's years of service, for example, employees' contributions are calculated as a fixed percentage of payrolls.

IFRS 11 (Amendment) «Joint Arrangements»

This amendment requires from an investor to apply the purchase method when the investor acquires an interest in a joint arrangement which constitutes a "company".

IAS 16 and IAS 38 (Amendments) "Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortization"

The amendment clarifies that the use of revenue-based methods to calculate the depreciation of an asset is not appropriate and that revenue is generally presumed to be an inappropriate basis for measuring the consumption of the economic benefits embodied in an intangible asset.

IAS 16 and IAS 41 (Amendments) «Agriculture: Bearer Plants»

These amendments alter the financial reporting of bearer plants such as grape vines and fruit producing trees. The bearer plants should be accounted for in the same way as property, plant and equipment. Consequently, the amendments include the bearer plants within the scope of IAS 16, instead of IAS 41. The production growing on bearer plants will remain within the scope of IAS 41.

IAS 27 (Amendment) "Separate Financial Statements"

This amendment allows economic entities to utilize the Equity method in accounting for investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and related companies when compiling their separate financial statements, and also clarifies the definition of the separate financial statements.

IAS 1 (Amendments) "Disclosures"

The amendments clarify the guidance of IAS 1 with regard to the concept of materiality, presentation of subtotals, the structure of the financial statements and the disclosures of the accounting policies.

Annual Improvements in IFRS of 2012

The following amendments describe the major changes that have been made in seven IFRS as result of the Circle 2010-2012 of the annual improvement program of IASB.

IFRS 2 "Share-based payment"

The amendment clarifies the definition of the "fulfillment condition" and defines distinctively the "yield term" and the "service term".

IFRS 3 "Business combinations"

The amendment clarifies how the obligation for a contingent payment which fulfills the definition of financial instrument is classified as financial obligation or as an item of the net worth based on the provisions of IAS 32 "Financial Instruments: Presentation". In addition, it clarifies that any contingent payment, financial or non financial, which is not an item of the net worth, is recorded at fair value through the results.

IFRS 8 "Operating Segments"

The amendment requires the disclosure of the management's estimates with regard to the aggregation of the operating segments.

IFRS 13 "Fair Value Measurement"

The amendment clarifies that the standard does not exclude the option of calculating the shortterm assets and liabilities based on the amounts of invoices in cases the discounting effect is not significant.

IAS 16 "Property, Plant and Equipment" and IAS 38 "Intangible Assets"

Both standards have been amended in order to clarify the approach by which the underappreciated value of an asset and the accumulated depreciation are treated in a company which applies the adjustment method.

IAS 24 "Related Party Disclosures"

The standard was amended to include as related party a company providing services equivalent with ones of a major managerial official in the economic entity or the parent company of the economic entity.

Annual Improvements in IFRS of 2014

The following amendments describe the main changes in four IFRS.

IFRS 5 "Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations"

The amendment clarifies that when an entity reclassifies an asset (or group of assets) from held for sale to held for distribution or vice versa, this does not constitute an alteration in the plan for sale or distribution and thus should not be accounted for as an alteration.

IFRS 7 "Financial Instruments: Disclosures"

The amendment adds certain guidance in order to assist the management to define whether the terms of an agreement for the servicing of a financial instrument that has been transferred constitute continuous engagement and clarifies that the additional disclosures that are provided with the amendment of IFRS 7 "Disclosure–Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" are not required for interim periods, unless otherwise stated by the IFRS 34.

IAS 19 "Employee Benefits"

The amendment clarifies that when the discount rate concerning the employee benefits on a post service basis is defined, the important is the currency at which the liabilities are denominated and not the country from which these liabilities originate.

IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting"

The amendment clarifies the concept of the "meaning of disclosure of information elsewhere in the interim financial report" that is mentioned in this standard.

Standards and Interpretations effective for following financial years

IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" and subsequent amendments in IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 (applied for annual periods beginning on or after 1 st January 2018)

IFRS 9 replaces the requirement of IAS 39 and deals with the classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities, and it also includes a model of anticipated credit losses that replaces the model of the realized credit losses currently in effect. The IFRS 9 Hedging Accounting establishes an approach for hedging accounting based on principles and deals with inconsistencies and weaknesses of the current model of IAS 39. The Group is currently assessing the impact of IFRS 9 on its financial statements. The Group cannot adopt IFRS 9 in advance as it has not been endorsed by the EU.

IFRS 15 «Revenues from Contracts with Customers» (effective for annual accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018)

IFRS 15 was issued in May 2014. The objective of the standard is to provide a single and clear model for the recognition of revenues from all customer contracts so that it improves the comparability among companies of the same sector, different sectors and different capital markets. It includes the principles that an entity shall apply in order to define the measurement of revenues and the time of their recognition. The basic principle is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Group is in the phase of assessing the effect of the IFRS 15 on its financial statements. The standard has not been adopted by the European Union.

IFRS 16 «Leases» (effective for annual accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019)

IFRS 16 was issued in January 2016 and replaces IAS 17. The aim of the standard is to ensure that lessors and lessees provided useful information which fairly depicts the substance of transactions with regard to leases. IFRS 16 introduces a unified model providing for the accounting treatment from the side of the lessee, which requires that the lessee recognizes assets and liabilities for all leasing contracts with term longer than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of no substance value. With regard to the accounting treatment from the side of the lessor, IFRS 16 incorporates practically the requirements of IAS 17. Therefore the lessor continues to classify the leasing contracts as operating and financial leases, and to follow different accounting treatment for each type of contract. The Group is in the phase of assessing the effect of the IFRS 16 on its financial statements. The standard has not been adopted by the European Union.

IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 28 (Amendments) "Investment Entities: Applying the Consolidation Exception" (effective for annual accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2016)

The amendments clarify the application of the consolidation exception with regard to investment entities and their subsidiaries. The amendments have not been adopted yet by the European Union.

IAS 12 (Amendments) "Recognition of deferred tax assets for unrealized losses" (effective for annual accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2017)

The amendments clarify the accounting treatment with regard to the recognition of deferred tax assets for unrealized losses which have resulted from loans measured at fair value. The amendments have not been adopted yet by the European Union.

IAS 7 (Amendments) "Disclosures" (applied for accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2017)

The amendments introduce mandatory disclosures which provide the ability to users of the financial statements to evaluate the changes of liabilities that derive from financing activities. The amendments have not been adopted yet by the European Union.

IFRS 2 (Amendments) "Classification and measurement of transactions concerning share-based payments" (applied for accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2018)

The amendment provides clarifications about the basis of measurement with regard to the sharebased payments arranged in cash and the accounting treatment regarding amendments of terms which alter a share-based payment from one that it is arranged in cash to one that is arranged in shares. Moreover they introduce an exception concerning the principles of IFRS 2 according to which a share-based payment should be treated like a payment totally arranged in shares, in the cases where the employer is obliged to withhold an amount for tax purposes in order to cover the tax liabilities of the employees, liabilities deriving from the value of the shares. The amendments have not been adopted yet by the European Union.

In Greece, the results reported to tax authorities are deemed temporary and are subject to audit by the tax authorities until financial year 2010, included. Therefore, for the non-audited fiscal years there is the possibility that additional tax may be imposed on such when they are audited by the tax authorities.

The income tax rate of legal entities in Greece is set at 29% for the fiscal year 2015 and the subsequent periods.

For the fiscal year 2011 and onwards, the Company receives "Annual Tax Certificate". The "Annual Tax Certificate" is issued from the Legal Certified Auditor who audits the annual financial statements. Following the completion of the tax audit, the Legal Auditor grants the company with a "Tax Compliance Report" which is later submitted electronically to the Ministry Finance. For the fiscal year 2015, the respective tax audit was conducted and completed by the auditing firm 'PricewaterhouseCoopers'. No other tax liabilities emerged from the above audit apart from those liabilities recorded in the financial statements.

The financial years that have not been audited by the tax authorities, as regards to the Greek companies, are reported below:

17.2 Participation in companies consolidated with the equity method

The change of standards with regard to the consolidation of the joint arrangement companies (IFRS 10, IFRS 11, and IFRS 12) resulted into the change of the consolidation method.

IFRS 11 removes the concept of the proportional consolidation of the jointly controlled entities. Instead, the jointly controlled entities which fulfill the definition of joint venture are accounted for with the equity method.

The Group holds 50% of the share capital of Lumite Inc. and Thrace Sarantis SA, whereas it holds 46.47% and 51% respectively of the share capital of Thrace Greiner Packaging SRL and Thrace Eurobent SA. There is joint management in the above companies along with a second shareholder. Both shareholders possess rights on the companies' assets.

The parent company holds directly the company Thrace Sarantis SA with the value of its participation set at € 1,280 as well as the company Thrace Eurobent SA with participation value of € 204.

18. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

On 30 September 2016 there are no significant legal issues pending that may have a material effect in the financial position of the Companies in the Group.

The letters of guarantee issued by the banks for the account of the Company and in favor of third parties (Greek State, suppliers and customers) amount to Euro 837.

An amount of taxes – surcharges of euro 171 that emerged from the tax audit of fiscal years 2006 and 2007 is under dispute by the Company's Management and will be resolved in the tax courts.

The courts already decided on a first instance basis in favor of the Company with regard to an amount of €104.

With regard to the above amount, no provision has been formed in the Group's financial statements.

19. Reclassifications of accounts

In the present Interim Condensed Financial Information, there have been reclassifications of not significant comparative accounts in the Statement of Total Comprehensive Income for the purpose of comparability with the ones of the present period.

20. Significant Events

Below the most important events of the first nine months of the year 2016 are presented.

During the first half of 2016, the Group's investment plan amounting to 32 million euro for the period 2015-2016 was successfully completed and the normal operation of the new production facilities commenced. According to the Company's announcement, when the new investments become fully operational will generate additional turnover of 50 million euro and will contribute significantly to the improvement of the Group's profit margins due to their capacity to produce innovative products with high added value and to reduce the production cost.

Specifically, the investments implemented in Greece and specifically in Xanthi, amounting to 23 million euro approximately, mainly concern the production of innovative technical fabrics which are utilized in the markets of geosynthetics, insulating roof films, the filter industry, automobile industry and hospital products.

In addition, the new investments implemented abroad, amounting to 9 million euro, were successfully set in full operation.

The investments abroad mainly concern the installation of a new production line in Scotland for the production of the technical fabrics, meltblown type, which are used in the markets of insulating roof films, hospital and hygiene products, and the filter industry. The investments also concern the new thermoforming line which was installed in the plant of Bulgaria for the production of packaging products for yogurt and one-use plastic glasses targeting the markets of Bulgaria and Southeast Europe.

The Ordinary General Meeting of shareholders that took place on 14 April 2016 approved the annual financial statements and decided not to distribute any dividend from the earnings of 2015 since the priority of the Management of both the Company and the Group is to maintain satisfactory levels of liquidity in the context of the completion of the Group's extended investment plan.

The Group activates in the United Kingdom via its subsidiaries DON&LOWLTD, domiciled in Scotland, and Synthetic Holdings Limited, domiciled in Northern Ireland. The exchange rate of the British Pound on 31/12/2015 was at 0.734. During the first nine months of 2016 and after the outcome of the referendum of the country concerning its status as member, or not, of the European Union, the British Pound depreciated versus the Euro and on 30/09/2016 settled at 0.861. The depreciation of the British Pound had an effect on the results of the first nine months of 2016 as well as on the equity of the Group on 30/09/2016. In the current phase the Group is not in position to predict the effect on its financial statements from a permanent exit of Great Britain from the European Union. In any case the Management assesses on a constant basis the developments in order to take the necessary measures and actions for the minimization of any negative effects on the activities of the Group.

On 25 April 2016, the tax audit of the fiscal years 2007 – 2009 concerning the subsidiary company Thrace Plastics Pack SA was completed and resulted into additional taxes of € 979 and tax surcharges of € 1,173. The Company's Management accepted an amount of € 104, which was fully paid and also made an advance payment of € 1,024 with regard to the remaining amount which did not accept,

thus proceeding with a legal appeal. The pertinent bodies were expected to review the appeal until 24.10.2016 according to law. On 20.10.2016, the Head of the Division for the Resolution of Differences notified the Company about a decision according to which the tax authorities accepted the majority of the Company's claims. According to the above decision, the additional taxes are reduced to € 393 and the tax surcharges are reduced to € 471 with the aggregate amount of taxes and surcharges accounting for € 864. The Company's Management examines the possibility to further appeal to tax courts for part of the above taxes. In any case, the provision of € 835 that is formed until 30.06.2016 is sufficient.

21. Events after the balance sheet date
