12M 2015 12M 2014
Gross Profit Margin 47.53% 48,55%
EBIT Margin 9.34% 8,87%
Net Profit Margin 7.10% 6,90%

The Group's Gross Profit margin during FY 2015 stood at 47.53% from 48.55% last year. The decrease in the Gross profit margin is a result of more intense trade allowances given to the clients and indirectly to the consumers, as part of the Group's effort to increase its market shares and defend its competitive positioning in the market.

Nevertheless, the Group's increased sales combined with the efficient management of operational expenses lead to higher profitability and improvement of profitability margins.

In particular, EBIT margin reached 9.34% compared to 8.87% last year and Net Profit margins increased to 7.10% from 6.90% in 2014.

the Group's operating working capital settled at €79.21 mil. in FY 2015 compared to €70.75 mil. in FY 2014, while operating working capital requirements over sales settled at 28.42% in FY 2015 versus 28.48% in FY 2014, a fact that highlights the efficient working capital management in terms of both inventory management and tight credit control despite the new businesses added in the Group

The Company's Board of Directors will propose at the Annual Shareholders General Meeting the distribution of a dividend payment for FY 2015 equal to 0.16 euro per share.

2.3 SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING 2015

Based on the Group's initial business plan, the production of all NOXZEMA products was transferred at the end of 2015 to SARANTIS GROUP production facilities at Oinofoita in Greece.

The total investment, which was mainly utilized for special production machines amounted to 1 million euro, while 20 employees were added in the Greek plant to accommodate the increased production.

This way, production capacity becomes further consolidated, quality control will be further enhanced and economies of scale will be achieved, since approximately 4 million units will be added in the production.

This move is in line with the management's strategy to further support the Group's growth through value adding acquisitions while fully exploiting the synergies and the operational leverage these acquisitions offer at all levels.

Sarantis Group finalized on 17/12/2015 the acquisition of the Polish packaging products Company Polipak Sp. z.o.o. More specifically, Sarantis Polska S.A., a 100% subsidiary of GR. SARANTIS S.A., signed an agreement for the acquisition of 70% of the share capital of Polipak Sp. z.o.o.

This acquisition, completed within the context of the Group's strategic growth plan, supports further the Group's geographical footprint in the market where it already operates and provides growth opportunities for the Group into new markets. Polipak is a producer of polyethylene-film-based packaging products (mainly garbage bags), having warehousing and production facilities in Poland. Polipak's current production involves mainly private label garbage bags and Sarantis Group branded garbage bags, covering at the moment 10% of Sarantis Group's needs.

Excluding Sarantis Group business, Polipak's annual sales for 2015 will amount to approximately 13.7 mil euros., while the EBITDA margin is expected to reach 10%.

The acquisition cost amounted to 4.5 mil. euros, while the transaction was self-financed.

Sarantis Group's management initial focus will be targeted on transferring within 2016 all of its garbage bags production to Polipak exploiting the benefits on the production cost, while at the same time appropriate preparations will be done in order for the Group to expand at a later stage the existing private label business.

This acquisition is a great fit for Sarantis Group, as it not only supports its existing core business activity of branded household products, but it also provides the opportunity for the Group to penetrate the private label market.

Taking advantage of the improved unit cost, Sarantis Group can capitalize on its existing partnerships, as well as expand the client base by penetrating the discounter stores market.

  • The Extraordinary General Shareholders Meeting resolution on May 25th 2015, approved the termination of the current share buyback program that had been decided by the Company's Annual General Shareholders Meeting of June 26th 2014 and authorized the Board of Directors to implement said resolution.
  • Following the General Shareholders Meeting resolution dated May 12th 2015, the company GR. SARANTIS S.A. proceeded to the distribution of a dividend payment for the fiscal year 2014 amounting to 0.15 euro per share. The aforementioned dividend amount was subject to a 10% withholding tax and therefore shareholders received a net amount of 0.1350 euro per share. The dividend payment took place on Friday, May 22nd 2015

via the National Bank of Greece through the authorized operators of the beneficiary shareholders registered with the D.S.S.

  • On March 31st 2015 Sarantis Group signed an agreement to acquire the AVA brand in Greece from Procter & Gamble. Subject to customary conditions, the closing of the deal occured on April 30, 2015. This acquisition, completed within the context of the Group's strategic growth plan, further enriches the Group's own brand portfolio and reinforces its position as a leading consumer products company. AVA is a wellestablished and traditional brand in Greece. AVA has a strong presence in the category of hand dishwashing liquids and holds the 2nd position in the particular market. The acquisition price was agreed at 3.49million €. Sarantis Group management initial focus will be targeted on integrating this new brand into the Group's operation and investing in its support and expansion opportunities. This acquisition is a great fit for Sarantis Group, fully in line with its objectives and strategy to support its core business activities through both organic growth and acquisitions.
  • Sarantis Group annual corporate presentation for analysts was realized on March 23rd 2015 describing the management's strategy and estimates for 2015. Specifically, according to the Management's estimates, turnover will reach €268.40 mil. by the end of 2015 vs €248.44 mil in 2014. EBITDA is expected to increase to €29.75 mil. in 2015 from €25.64 mil. in 2014. EBIT is estimated to reach €26.00 mil. in 2015 from €22.05 mil. in 2014, while EBT is expected to reach €24.20 mil. in 2015 from €21.49 mil in 2014. Finally, Net Profit is expected to settle at €19.36 mil. in 2015, from €17.14 mil. in 2014.

2.4 MAJOR RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES FOR 2016

The Group is exposed to financial and other risks, including the effects of changes in interest rates, credit risks and liquidity risks. The Group's overall risk management program aims at minimizing the possible negative effects from such risks on its financial performance. The Group's financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, trade accounts receivable and payable, loans and dividends payable.

2.4.1 Foreign exchange risk

The Group operates in an environment characterized by relatively high foreign exchange risk given that almost 63% of the Group's total turnover comes from Eastern European countries where the volatility of foreign exchange rates has recently been high. The management of the Group is constantly examining the currencies' fluctuations, but at the moment it has not taken any measures against the fx risk due to the lack of appropriate hedging tools.

2.4.2 Interest rate risk

The Group's objective is to achieve an optimal balance between borrowing cost and the potential effect of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows. The Group monitors and manages its debt and overall financing strategies using a combination of short and long-term debt. It is policy of the Group to continuously review interest rate trends along with its financing needs. Daily working capital requirements are typically financed with operational cash flow and through the use of various committed lines of credit. The interest rate on these short-term borrowing arrangements, is generally determined as the inter-bank offering rate at the borrowing date plus a pre-set margin. The mix of fixed-rate debt and variable-rate debt is managed within Group policy guidelines.

2.4.3 Credit risk

The Group's trade receivables mainly come from wholesale clients. All Group companies monitor the financial position of their debtors on an ongoing basis and control the granting of credit as well as the credit lines. Where considered appropriate, credit guarantee insurance cover is purchased. Moreover, appropriate provision for impairment losses is made for specific credit risks wherever deemed necessary.

2.4.4 Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies the existence of a balance between cash flows as well as funding through adequate amounts of committed credit facilities. The Group closely monitors the amount of funding as well as the short-term and long-term funding with respect to total debt and the composition of total debt, and it manages the risk that could arise from the lack of sufficient liquidity and secures that necessary borrowing facilities are

maintained. The Group has sufficient credit line facilities that could be utilized to fund any potential shortfall in cash resources.

The Group manages and monitors its working capital in order to minimize any possible liquidity and cash flow risks.

2.4.5 Raw material price risk

The Group is exposed to the volatility of raw material prices. For instance, aluminum is a basic raw material for the Group and as such movements in the aluminum price affect the Group's financials. In order to protect itself against adverse aluminum price movements, the Group hedges against fluctuations of the aluminum price over short-term periods of time.

2.5 FUTURE OUTLOOK AND PROSPECTS

The Group's Full Year of 2015 financial performance demonstrate the Group's ability to grow amidst a challenging business environment.

During FY 2015 the Group delivered double digit growth in turnover and across all profitability lines, exceeding the management's estimates. Margins improved, net cash position was maintained and operating working capital was enhanced, demonstrating the Group's consistency and success behind its strategic decisions.

Looking forward to 2016 and beyond, while the challenges remain, the Group is moving in the right direction, positioned to gain further market share, identify areas that can benefit the Group further and exploit growth opportunities.

As always, emphasis will be given to the efficient management of working capital needs, the containment of operating cost, the generation of free cashflows and the maintenance of a net cash position.

The Group's strategy is focused on product innovations within the Group's core business categories of mass market cosmetics and household products, the renewal and enrichment of the Group's brand portfolio, increasing its market shares, improving productivity and production cost and targeting acquisition opportunities able to provide high returns.

Consistent with its yearly schedule, the Sarantis Group management will publish its FY 2016 guidance on Wednesday, March 16th 2016 during the Group's annual presentation at the Hellenic Fund and Asset Management Association.

Business activity

The Group is active in the production and trade of cosmetics, household use products and parapharmaceutical items.

The Group's basic activities have not changed from the previous year.

4.7 BASIS FOR THE PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

4.7.1 Compliance with IFRS

The consolidated and individual financial statements of "GR. SARANTIS S.A." are in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), which have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) as well as their interpretations, which have been issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) of IASB that have been adopted by the European Union.

4.7.2 Basis for the preparation of the financial statements

The consolidated and parent financial statements of "GR. SARANTIS SA" have been compiled on the basis of the "going concern" principle as well as on the basis of the historical cost principle, apart from the financial assets at fair value through results, available for sale, which based on the requirements of IFRS are recorded at fair value.

4.7.3 Approval of financial statements

The annual consolidated financial statements have been approved by the Company's Board of Directors on 08/03/2016.

4.7.4 Covered period

The present annual consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of "GR. SARANTIS S.A." and its subsidiaries, which together are referred to as the Group, and cover the period from January 1st 2015 to December 31st 2015.

4.7.5 Presentation of the financial statements

The present financial statements are presented in €, which is the Group's operating currency, namely the currency of the primary economic environment in which the parent Company operates.

4.7.6 Significant judgments and estimations by Management

The preparation of the Financial Statements according to the International Accounting Standards requires the implementation of estimations, judgments and assumptions that may affect the accounting balances of assets and liabilities and the required disclosures for contingent receivables and liabilities, as well as the amount of income and expenses recognized.

The use of adequate information and the implementation of subjective judgment constitute inseparable data for the conduct of estimations in the valuation of assets, liabilities for employee benefits, impairment of assets, recognition of deferred tax assets and pending judicial cases. The estimations are considered significant but not binding. Actual future results may differ from the aforementioned estimations.

4.7.7 New standards, interpretations, and amendments to existing standards

Specifically new standards, amendments of standards and interpretations have been issued, which are mandatory for accounting periods beginning during the current year or after.

Standards and Interpretations mandatory for the current financial year

Annual Improvements in IFRS 2013 (effective for annual accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015)

The following amendments describe the most important changes in three IFRS as result of the cycle 2011 – 2013 of the annual improvement program of IASB.

  • IFRS 3 "Business Combinations". The amendment clarifies how IFRS 3 must not be applied in the accounting for the formation of a joint arrangement, according to IFRS 11, in the financial statements of the joint arrangement itself.
  • IFRS 13 "Fair Value Measurement". The amendment clarifies that the exception provided by IFRS 13 for a portfolio of financial assets and liabilities is effective for all contracts (including non-financial contracts) within the scope of application of IAS 39 / IFRS 9.
  • IAS 40 "Investment Property". The standard was amended in order to clarify that IAS 40 and IFRS 3 are not mutually excluded.

Standards and Interpretations mandatory for subsequent periods

Certain new standards, amendments of standards and interpretations have been issued which are not mandatory for the accounting period beginning after 1st January 2015. These have not been adopted earlier and the Group currently assesses the potential effect on its financial statements.

Specifically:

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

The final version of IFRS 9 replaces the provisions of IAS 39 "Financial Instruments: Recognition and measurement" referring to the classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities and also includes a single, forward-looking 'expected loss' impairment model which replaces the model of actual loss currently in effect. Furthermore, if a financial liability has been classified (according to IFRS 9) based on fair value via the results, then any change in the fair value of the particular financial liability due to changes of the credit risk of the economic entity, will be recorded in the Other Comprehensive Income instead of the results. The standard IFRS 9 also establishes an approach to hedge accounting based on principles and handles inconsistencies and weaknesses in the current model of IAS 39.

The Group currently assesses the potential effect of IFRS 9 on its financial statements. The standard has not been yet adopted by the European Union.

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

IFRS 15 was issued in May 2014 and includes the most immediate and accurate requirements compared to the existing standards (IAS 18 and IAS 11). The purpose of the standard is to provide a unified and clear model for the recognition of income from all customer contracts and to improve the comparability among companies of the same sector, different sectors and different capital markets. It includes the principles which must be applied by an economic entity in order to define the measurement of income and the timing of recognition. The basic principle is that an economic entity will recognize income in a manner that depicts the actual transfer of goods or services to customers at the amount expected to fairly collect in exchange for these goods or services with the application of five stages.

  • Recognition of contract,
  • Recognition of criteria for the measurement of liability' return,
  • Determination of the transaction's price,
  • Allocation of the transaction's price to each part of the liability,
  • Recognition of income when each part of the liability is satisfied.

The Group currently assesses the potential effect of IFRS 15 on its financial statements. The standard has not been yet 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 purpose of the standard is to ensure that the lessor and the lessee provide useful information that fairly presents the substance of the transactions concerning leasing agreements. IFRS 16 introduces a new model for the accounting treatment from the side of the lessor. The model requires that the lessor recognizes assets and liabilities for all leasing agreements with duration longer than 12 months, unless the underlying asset has no significant value. With regard to the accounting treatment from the side of the lessee, IFRS 16 practically incorporates the requirements of IAS 17. As a result, the lessee continues to categorize the leasing agreements between operating and financial ones, and to follow different accounting treatment for each type of leasing agreement.

The Group currently assesses the potential effect of IFRS 16 on its financial statements. The standard has not been yet 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 1 January 2016)

The amendments clarify the application of the consolidation exception with regard to investment entities and their subsidiaries. More analytically, the exception from the presentation of consolidated financial statements is valid in the case of a parent company which is subsidiary of an investment company even if the investment company measures all subsidiaries at fair value instead of consolidating them, under the condition that the financial statements prepared by the latter are in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 10. Furthermore, the amendments clarify that only the subsidiaries which themselves are not investment companies and offer support services to a parent investment company, are consolidated. All other subsidiaries of the investment company are measured at fair value. Finally, the amendments clarify that for an entity which does not constitute an investment company but it participates in an associate company or joint venture which constitutes an investment company, the investor may, during the application of the equity method, maintain the fair value measurement which is applied from the associate investment company or joint venture in the case of the latter's participation in subsidiaries.

The Group currently assesses the potential effect on its financial statements. The amendments have not been yet adopted by the European Union.

IFRS 11 (Amendment) "Joint Arrangements" (effective for annual accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016)

This amendment requires from an investor to apply the purchase method (according to IFRS 3) when the investor acquires an interest in a joint arrangement that constitutes a "company".

The Group currently assesses the potential effect on its financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 1: «Disclosure Initiative» (effective for annual accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016)

In December 2014, the IASB proceeded with the publication of amendments to the IAS 1. The amendments concern the significance, the sequence of the notes, the subtotals and the separation, the accounting policies and the presentation of the figures of the other comprehensive income which is generated from investments recorded with the equity method. The amendments were made in order to resolve issues with regard to existing presentation and disclosure requirements and ensure the ability of economic entities to make judgments when preparing their financial statements.

The Group currently assesses the potential effect on its financial statements.

IAS 16 and IAS 38 (Amendments): "Clarifications of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortization" (effective for annual accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016)

These amendments clarify that the use of methods based on income are not appropriate in the calculation of the depreciation of an asset and also clarify that income is not the appropriate basis in the measurement of consumption of the economic benefits incorporated into an intangible asset.

The Group currently assesses the potential effect on its financial statements.

IAS 16 and IAS 41 (Amendment): "Bearer Plants" (effective for annual accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016)

According to this amendment, bearer plants will now fall under the application field of IAS 16 and will be subject to all requirements set within it. This includes the ability to select between the cost model and the adjustment model in the subsequent measurement. The produce growing on bearer plants (for example fruit growing in a tree) will remain within the scope of IAS 41. State grants which concern bearer plants are now accounted for according to IAS 20 instead of the IAS 41.

The Group currently assesses the potential effect on its financial statements.

IAS 27 (Amendment) "Separate Financial Statements" (effective for annual accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016)

This amendment allows economic entities to use the equity method in order to record the investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associate companies in their separate financial statements. It also clarifies the definition of separate financial statements.

The Group currently assesses the potential effect on its financial statements.

IAS 19 Revised (Amendment) "Employee Benefits" (effective for annual accounting periods beginning on or after 1 February 2015)

The amendment is of limited scope and is applied to employee or third party contributions in defined benefit plans, thus simplifying the accounting of contributions when these are independent of the number of years in service, for example contributions made by employees calculated as fixed percentage against the salary.

The Group currently assesses the potential effect on its financial statements.

Annual Improvements in IFRS 2012 (effective for annual accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015)

The following amendments describe the most important changes in seven IFRS as result of the cycle 2010 – 2012 of the annual improvement program of IASB.

  • IFRS 2 "Share-based Payments": The amendment clarifies the definition of "vesting condition" and clearly defines the "performance condition" and the "service condition".
  • IFRS 3 "Business Combinations": The amendment clarifies how the obligation for a contingent consideration which fulfils the definition of financial asset is classified either as financial liability or as equity item according to the definitions of IAS 32 "Financial Instruments: Presentation". It also clarifies that any contingent consideration, financial and non-financial, which is not an equity item, is measured at fair value through the results.
  • IFRS 8 "Operating Segments": The amendment requires the disclosure of the management's estimations with regard to the aggregation of operating segments.
  • IFRS 13 "Fair value measurement": The amendment clarifies that the standard does not remove the ability to measure short-term receivables and payables at their invoice amounts in cases where the effect of not discounting is immaterial.
  • IAS 16 "Property, Plant and Equipment" and IAS 38 "Intangible Assets": Both standards were amended in order to clarify the manner with which the accounting value, before depreciation, of an asset and the accumulated depreciation are treated when an economic entity applies the revaluation method.
  • IAS 24 "Related Party disclosures": The standard was amended in order to include as related party a company that provides key management personnel services to the economic entity or the parent company of the economic entity.

Annual Improvement in IFRS 2014 (effective for annual accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016)

The following amendments describe the most important changes in four IFRS. These amendments have not been yet adopted by the European Union.

  • IFRS 5 "Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations": The amendment clarifies that when an asset (or group of assets) is reclassified from "held for sale" to "held for distribution", or vice versa, this does not constitute change in the plan for sale or distribution and therefore must not be recorded as a change.
  • IFRS 7 "Financial Instruments: Disclosures": The amendment adds certain guidance in order to assist the management to define whether the terms of a servicing contract is continuing involvement in a transferred asset. It also clarifies that additional disclosures required according to the amendment of IFRS 7 "Disclosures – Offsetting financial asset and financial liabilities" are not required for all interim periods unless such requirement is defined by IAS 34.

  • IAS 19 "Employee Benefits": The amendment clarifies that, when the discount rate is defined with regard to liabilities for post retirement personnel benefits, the important issue is the currency at which the relevant liabilities are recorded and not the country from which the liabilities originate.

  • IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting": This amendment clarifies the concept of the "information that is disclosed elsewhere within the interim financial report" with reference to the standard.

4.8 BASIC ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

4.8.1 Consolidation

4.8.1.1 Subsidiaries

The Group's subsidiaries are legal entities on which the Group has the ability to set the operational and financial policies, usually by participating in their share capital with a voting right over 50%. The existence and effect of voting rights that may be exercised or converted are taken into account when establishing whether the Group controls a legal entity.

Subsidiaries are consolidated with the full consolidation method from the date that control is transferred to the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date that this control no longer exists.

The accounting method of the acquisition is used for the accounting entries of the subsidiaries' acquisition by the Group. The acquisition cost is calculated as the fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed or existing and financial products issued during the transaction date. Expenses related to the acquisition are registered in the results. The assets acquired, the liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed during a business combination are initially recognized at fair value during the acquisition date. According to the case, the Group recognizes the value of the minority interest either at fair value or as a percentage of the minority shareholders on the net assets acquired. The difference between the acquisition cost, the proportion of the minority interest plus fair value during the acquisition date of a previous participation and the Group's share in the net assets acquired, is booked as goodwill. If this value is less than the fair value of net assets acquired, the difference is registered directly in the results.

Transactions between group companies and unrealized profit related to transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated. The accounting principles of subsidiaries have been amended when necessary in order to conform to the accounting principles of the Group. In the financial statements of the parent company, investments in subsidiaries are valued at acquisition cost minus any cumulative impairment loss.

4.8.1.2 Investments in associate companies

Associates are companies on which the Group can exert significant influence but which do not fulfill the conditions to be classified as subsidiaries or joint ventures. Significant influence is the authority to participate in decisions that regard decisions for the issuer's financial and business policies, but not control on such polices. Significant influence is usually implied when the group holds a percentage between 20% and 50% of the voting rights through ownership of shares or another type of agreement.

Investments in associates are initially recognized at cost and are subsequently valued using the equity method for consolidation purposes. Goodwill is included in the book cost of the investment and is examined for impairment as part of the investment.

When an economic unit of the group transacts with a group's associate company, any possible intra-company profit and losses are written-off by the participation percentage of the group in the relevant associate company.

All subsequent changes of the participation percentage in the associate company's net position are recognized in book value of the group's investment.

Changes that arise from the profit or losses of associates are registered in the consolidated profit and loss account.

Changes that have been directly recognized in equity of the associates are recognized in the group's consolidated equity.

Any changes recognized directly in equity that are not related to a result, such as the distribution of dividends or other transactions with shareholders of the associate, are registered in the book value of the participation. No

effect in the net result or equity is recognized in the context of such transactions.

When the share of losses in as associate for the group is equal or over the book value of the investment, including any other secured receivables, the group does not recognize further losses, unless it has been burdened with commitments or has proceeded with payments on behalf of the associate.

The accounting policies of associates are amended when deemed necessary in order to render such consistent with the policies adopted by the group.

In the parent's financial statements, investments in associates are valued, according to IAS 28, at acquisition cost minus any accumulated impairment loss.

4.8.1.3 Joint Ventures

Economic units whose financial activities are controlled jointly by the group and by other joint venture entities independent to the group, are accounted for using proportionate consolidation.

In the case where the group sells assets to the joint-venture, it recognizes only the profit or loss from the transaction that corresponds to the participation of the other members.

However, if the group purchases assets from the joint-venture, it does not recognize its share in the profit or loss until it sells the asset to third parties. In the case of indications of impairment of assets acquired by the jointventure, then any loss is recognized in whole.

Intra-company balances of the group with the joint-venture are written-off, canceling the balances of the jointventure by the share of the investing company.

4.8.2 Foreign currency translation

Transactions in foreign currency are translated to the operating currency using exchange rates in effect during the date of the transactions.

Profit and losses from foreign exchange difference, which arise from the settlement of such transactions during the period and from the conversion of monetary items expressed in foreign currency with the effective exchange rates during the balance sheet date, are registered in the results.

Foreign exchange differences from non-monetary items valued at fair value, are considered as part of the fair value and thus are registered accordingly as fair value differences.

Items of the financial statements of the group's companies are calculated based on the currency of the economic environment in the country where each group company operates.

The individual financial statements of companies participating in the consolidation, and which are initially presented in a currency different than the group's presentation currency, have been converted to €. The assets and liabilities have been converted to € according to the closing exchange rate during the balance sheet date. Income and expenses have been converted to the group's presentation currency at average exchange rates of each reported period. Any differences that arise from this procedure have been transferred to an equity reserve.

4.8.3 Financial information by segment

The company's Board of Directors is the main decision maker and controls the internal financial reporting in order to assess the company's and Group's performance and make decisions relating to the allocation of resources.

The Management has defined activity sectors based on such internal reports according to IFRS 8. Operating segments are defined as the segments in which the Group operates and on which the Group's internal information system is based.

For the breakdown per operating segment, the following have been taken into account:

  • The nature of products and services.
  • The quantitative limits defined by IFRS 8.

The Group offers information per geographic segment as additional information to readers of the financial statements.

4.8.4 Goodwill

Goodwill which is acquired during a business combination, is initially recognized at cost, which is the excess cost of the combination, over the group's proportion in the fair value of net assets acquired.

Following the initial recognition, goodwill is calculated at cost minus any accumulated impairment losses. The group examines goodwill for impairment at least on an annual basis. Impairment losses that are registered for goodwill are not reversed in subsequent periods.

4.8.5 Intangible assets

Intangible assets of the group are initially recognized at acquisition cost. Following the initial recognition, intangible assets are calculated at cost minus accumulated amortization and any impairment loss that may have emerged.

The useful economic life and depreciation method are reviewed at least at the end of each financial period. If the estimated useful life or expected burn-up rate of future economic benefits incorporated in another intangible asset have changed, the changes are accounted for as changes in accounting estimations.

Intangible assets mainly include the acquired software used in production or management.

4.8.6 Tangible assets

Land-plots and buildings are presented in the financial statements at readjusted values minus accumulated depreciations.

The fair value of land-plots and buildings is defined periodically by an independent evaluator.

The mechanical equipment and other tangible fixed assets are presented at acquisition cost minus accumulated depreciations and possible impairment losses.

The acquisition cost of fixed assets includes all expenses directly attributed to the acquisition of the assets. Subsequent expenses are registered as in increase of the tangible assets' book value or as a separate fixed asset, only to the extent where such expenses increase the future economic benefits expected to arise from the use of the fixed assets, and the cost of such may be reliably calculated. The cost of repairs and maintenance is registered in the results of the period where such are realized.

Self-produced tangible assets constitute and addition to the acquisition cost of tangible assets at values that include the direct payroll cost for staff that participates in the construction, the cost of used materials and other general costs.

The depreciations of tangible fixed assets are calculated with the straight line method during their useful life, which is as follows:

Buildings from 20 to 60 years
Mechanical equipment from 8 to 10 years
Vehicles from 5 to 9 years
Other equipment* from 4 to 20 years

The residual values and useful economic lives of tangible fixed assets are subject to reassessment at each balance sheet date. When the residuals values, the expected useful life or expected burn-up rate of future economic benefits incorporated in an asset have changed, the changes are accounted for as changes in accounting estimations.

Upon sale of the tangible fixed assets, any difference between the proceeds and the book value are booked as profit or loss to the results.

The book value of tangible fixed assets is examined for impairment when there are indications, namely events or changes in circumstances, that the book value may not be recoverable. If there is such an indication and the book value exceeds the estimated recoverable amount, the assets or cash flow creation units are impaired to the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of property, facilities and equipment is the largest between their net sales price and their value in use. For the calculation of the value in use, the expected future cash flows are discounted to present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the market's current expectations for the time value of money and related risks as regards to the asset. When the book values of tangible assets exceed their

recoverable value, the difference (impairment) is registered initially as a reduction of the created fair value reserve (if there is such for the relevant fixed asset), which is presented in equity accounts. Any impairment loss that emerges over the created reserve for the specific fixed asset, is recognized directly as an expense in the profit and loss account.

4.8.7 Investments in Property

The investments in property include privately owned land plots and buildings, which are possessed by the Company with the objective to receive lease payments or / and to generate capital gains. The investments in property are initially recorded at their acquisition cost, which also includes the transaction costs. In a following stage, the investments in property are recorded at fair value.

4.8.8 Impairment of non financial assets

Assets with an indefinite useful economic life are not depreciated and are subject to impairment reviews annually and also when several events or changes in conditions indicate that the book value may not be recoverable. The assets depreciated are subject to impairment review when there are indications that their book value will not be recovered. Impairment losses are recognized for the amount for which the book value of the fixed asset exceeds its recoverable value. The recoverable value is the largest between fair value less the relevant cost required for the sale and value in use (present value of cash flows expected to be generated according to management's estimation on the future financial and operating conditions). To estimate impairment losses, assets are classified in the smallest possible cash flow generating units. Non-financial assets apart from goodwill that have suffered impairment are re-assessed for possible reversal of the impairment during each balance sheet date.

4.8.9 Inventories

The cost of inventories is defined using the weighted average method, and includes all the expenses realized in order to render inventories to their current position and condition and which are directly attributable to the production process, as well as part of general expenses related to the production. During the Balance Sheet date, inventories are presented at the lowest price between acquisition cost and net realizable value.

Net realizable value is the estimated sales price during the normal conduct of the company's activities, minus the estimated cost necessary to realize the sale.

4.8.10 Financial instruments

Financial instrument is any contract that creates a financial asset in an enterprise and a financial liability or equity instrument in another. The financial instruments of the Group are classified in the following categories: Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss, investments held until maturity, investments available for sale and loans and receivables. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management defines the classification during the initial recognition and reviews the classification at each balance sheet date.

4.8.10.1 Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss

A financial asset is included in this category if it is acquired with the intention to be sold in a short period of time or if it has been characterized as such by management. Derivatives are also included in the category for sale unless such are intended for risk hedging. Assets in this category are included in current assets either because such are intended for sale or are to be liquidated within twelve months from the balance sheet date.

4.8.10.2 Loans and receivables

Such included non-derivative financial assets with fixed or pre-defined payments, which are not traded on active markets and there is no intention to sell such. Loans and receivables are included in current assets, except for those with a maturity over 12 months from the balance sheet date. The latter are included in non-current assets. Loans and receivables are included in trade and other receivables in the statement of financial position.

4.8.10.3 Financial assets held until maturity

Such include non-derivative financial assets with fixed or pre-defined payments and a specific maturity date, which the Group's management intends and has the ability to hold until maturity. In case such assets are sold entirely or partially (unless the amount is trivial) then the entire category will be eliminated and the relevant assets must be reclassified to available for sale.

4.8.10.4 Financial assets available for sale

Such include non-derivative financial assets that are either defined in this category or cannot be included in any of the above categories. Financial assets available for sale are included in non-current assets given that Management has no intention of liquidating such within 12 months from the Balance Sheet date.

4.8.11 Recognition and measurement

Financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss are initially recognized at fair value and the transaction expenses are presented in the profit and loss account.

Fair value is an amount which can be the basis for an asset exchange, or for the settlement of an obligation, between two parties that willingly and knowledgeably proceed into a transaction purely on a trading basis.

The purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized during the transaction date that is also the date when the Group commits to purchasing or selling the investment. Financial assets are initially recognized at fair value plus the expenses directly attributed to the transaction, for all financial assets recognized at fair value through profit and loss. Financial assets are eliminated when the right to cash flows from the investments matures or is transferred and the Group has essentially transferred all the risks and rewards emanating from ownership. Financial assets available for sale are valued subsequently at cost minus impairment losses, given that equity instruments cannot be valued accurately.

Loans and receivables, as well as financial assets held until maturity are recognized at present value using the effective interest rate method. Realized and valuation profit or losses that result from a change in the fair value of assets in the category "financial assets through profit and loss" are registered in the results during the period when such are realized. Valuation profit or losses that result from the change in fair value of non-financial assets available for sale are included directly in equity. When investments available for sale are sold or impaired, the cumulative change in their fair value is transferred to the results as profit or loss from investments in securities. The fair values of financial assets that are traded on active markets are defined by the current market prices. For non-traded assets, the fair values are defined by the use of valuation techniques, such as analysis of recent transactions, comparable traded assets and discounted cash flows, that are specialized at reflecting the actual conditions of the issuer.

4.8.12 Impairment of financial assets

At each balance sheet date, the Group assesses whether there are objective indications that lead to the conclusion that financial assets have suffered impairment. For shares of companies listed as financial assets available for sale, such an indication refers to the significant or continuous reduction in fair value compared to the acquisition cost. If impairment is evidenced, the cumulative loss in equity – which corresponds to the difference between the acquisition cost and fair value minus previous impairment losses that had been recognized in the results for the specific financial asset – is transferred to the results. The impairment losses of equity instruments registered in the results are not reversed through the results. If there is objective indication for impairment of financial assets held until maturity that are presented at their net book value, then the impairment loss is calculated as the difference between the book value of the asset and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future losses from credit risks that have not been realized), discounted with the initial effective interest rate of the financial assets. The current amount of the asset, is decreased using a provision account for impairment and the loss is recognized in the results.

4.8.13 Trade receivables

Trade receivables are initially recognized at fair value and are measured subsequently at net book value using the effective interest rate, minus any impairment provisions. Impairment provisions are recognized when there is objective indication that the Group is not in a position to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms. Trade receivables include bills of exchange and notes receivables from customers. Serious financial problems of a customer, the possibility of default or financial restructuring and the inability to perform normal payments are considered indications that the receivables are impaired. The amount of the impairment provision is the difference between the book value of receivables and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted with the effective interest rate. The amount of the impairment loss is registered in the results as an expense.

4.8.14 Cash & cash equivalents

Cash & cash equivalents include cash in banks and in hand, as well as short-term highly liquid investments such as repos and bank deposits with a maturity less than three months.

4.8.15 Share capital

The share capital includes the Company's common shares. Direct expenses realized for the issue of shares are presented after the deduction of the relevant income tax, and reduce the product of the issue.

4.8.16 Loans

Loans are initially registered at fair value, minus any direct expenses realized for the transaction. Subsequently loans are valued at net book cost. Any difference between the received amount (net of relevant expenses) and the repayment value is recognized in the results during the borrowing term according to the effective interest rate method. Loans are characterized as short-term liabilities unless the Group has the final right to postpone payment for at least 12 months following the balance sheet date.

4.8.17 Leases

Leases of fixed assets where the Group essentially maintains all the risks and benefits of ownership are classified as financial leases. Financial leases are capitalized at the inception of the lease at the lower value between the fair value of the fixed asset and the present value of minimum leases. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and the financial expenses so as to achieve a fixed interest rate on the balance of the liability. The corresponding liabilities from leases, net of financial expenses, are presented in liabilities. The part of the lease's financing cost that refers to interest, is recognized in the results throughout the lease period in a way that assures a fixed rate on the balance of the liability during each period. Fixed assets acquired with financial leasing are depreciated within the smallest period between the useful life of the assets and the duration of their lease. Leases where essentially all the risks and benefits of ownership are maintained by the lessor, are classified as operating leases. The lease payments of an operating lease (net of any incentives offered by the lessor) are registered proportionately in the results throughout the duration of the lease period.

4.8.18 Employee benefits

4.8.18.1 Short-term benefits

Short-term employee benefits (apart from employment termination benefits) in money and in kind, are recognized as an expense on an accrual basis.

4.8.18.2 Liabilities for staff retirement indemnities

Payments are defined by Greek law and the regulation of the pension funds. The Group has both defined contribution and defined benefit plans.

Defined benefit plans are those pension plans that define a specific amount of pension that will be received by the employee during retirement, which usually depends on one or more factors such as age, employment years and wage level.

Defined contribution plans are those pension plans in the context of which the Group realizes defined payments to a separate legal entity. The Group has no legal obligation to pay further contributions if the pension fund does not have adequate assets to pay all employees the benefits related to their employment service during the present and during the previous periods.

The liability registered in the balance sheet for defined benefit plans is the present value of the liability for the defined benefit together with the changes that result from the non-recognized actuarial profit and losses and the prior employment service cost. The liability of the defined benefit is calculated annually by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit liability is calculated by discounting the future cash outflows using the yield of long-term Greek government bonds with a similar duration with the pension plan as the discount rate. The cumulative actuarial profit and losses that result from the adjustments based on historic data and the assumptions of the actuarial study and which exceed 10% of the defined benefit liability are registered in the results during the expected average insurance employment period of those participating in the plan. The prior employment service cost is registered directly in the results except for the case where changes in the plan depend on the remaining employment service of employees. In the latter case, the employment service cost is registered in the results with the straight line method throughout the maturity period.

For defined contribution plans the Group pays contributions to State pension funds on a mandatory basis. The Group has no other liability given it has paid its contributions. Contributions are recognized as employee expenses when due. Contributions that are prepaid are recognized as an asset when there is the possibility of a rebate or offset with new dues.

4.8.18.3 Share based payments

The Group has a stock option plan in effect. The total amount of the expense during the maturity period of the option is defined according to the fair value of the plan during the period when the option is provided. The conditions not related to the purchase are included in the assumptions for the definition of the number of options expected to be exercised. At each balance sheet date, the Group revises its estimations on the number of stock options expected to be exercised. It recognizes the effect of the revision of initial estimations in the results with a corresponding adjustment of equity.

4.8.19 Recognition of income and expenses

Income includes the fair value of sales of goods and provision of services, net of Value Added Tax, tariffs, discounts and rebates. Income is recognized when it is likely that economic benefits will arise for the Group. Income between Group companies consolidated with the full consolidation method, are fully written-off. Expenses are recognized in the results on an accrual basis. Payments realized for operating leases are transferred to the results as an expense, during the use of the lease. Interest expenses are recognized on an accrual basis.

The recognition of income is as follows:

4.8.19.1 Provision of services

Income from agreements for provision of services at a predefined price is recognized based on the completion stage of the transaction during the balance sheet date.

When the result of the transaction that concerns provision of services cannot be reliably estimated, the income is recognized only to the extent where the recognized expenses are recoverable.

4.8.19.2 Sales of goods

Sales of goods are recognized when the Group delivers ownership and all the risks related to ownership of the goods to customers, the goods are accepted by the latter and the collection of the receivable is reasonably secured.

4.8.19.3 Interest income

Interest income is recognized based on the time proportion and by using the real interest rate.

4.8.19.4 Income from Dividends

Dividends are accounted for as income when the right to receive such is established.

4.8.20 Government grants

The Group recognizes the government grants that cumulatively satisfy the following criteria:

  • There is reasonable certainty that the company has complied or will comply to the conditions of the grant and
  • It is probable that the amount of the grant will be received.

Government grants that relate to acquisition of fixed assets are presented as a deferred income in liabilities and recognized in the results during the useful life of the fixed assets such refer to.

4.8.21 Contingent Liabilities and Provisions

Provisions are booked when the Group has a present, legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably measured. The provisions are reviewed at every balance sheet date and are adjusted so as to reflect the present value of the expense deemed necessary to settle the liability. Contingent liabilities are not recorded in the financial statements but are disclosed, except if the probability of an outflow of resources that embody economic benefits is very small. Contingent assets are not recorded in the financial statements but are disclosed if the inflow of economic benefits is probable.

4.8.22 Dividend distribution

Dividend distribution to shareholders of the parent from the period's profit, are recognized as a liability in the individual and consolidated financial statements on the date when the distribution is approved by the General Shareholders' Meeting.

4.8.23 Current and deferred taxation

The period's charge with income tax consists of current taxes and deferred taxes. Tax is recognized in the "Statement of comprehensive income", unless it is related to amounts recognized directly in "Equity". In the latter case tax is also recognized in Equity.

Income tax on earnings, is calculated based on the tax law in effect during the balance sheet date in countries where the Group's activities are carried out and is recognized as an expense during the period when earnings are gained. Management periodically reviews cases where the relevant tax law needs clarifications when interpreted. When deemed necessary provisions are made on the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred income tax is calculated according to the liability method which results from the temporary differences between the book value of assets or liabilities in the financial statements with their respective tax base. Deferred income tax is not recorded if such results from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction, apart from a business combination, which did not affect the accounting or the tax profit or loss when realized. Deferred tax is defined according to the tax rates and laws in effect during the balance sheet date and those expected to be effective when the deferred tax assets will be realized or the deferred tax liabilities repaid.

Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that there will be future taxable profit for the use of the temporary difference that creates the deferred tax asset. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only when the law permits the offsetting of tax assets and liabilities and given that the deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from the same tax authority on one entity that is taxed or on different entities when the settlement is intended to take place through offsetting.

4.8.24 Noncurrent assets held for sale and discontinued operations

Assets held for sale include tangible fixed assets that the Group intends to sell within one year from their classification as "held for sale".

Assets classified as "held for sale" are valued at the lowest between their book value directly prior to their classification as held for sale, and their fair value less any sale cost. Assets classified as "held for sale" are not subject to depreciation. The profit or loss that results from the sale and revaluation of assets "held for sale" is included in the results.

The Group has not classified noncurrent assets as held for sale.

4.9 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

4.9.1 Capital Management

The Group's objectives as regards to management of capital, is to reassure the ability for the Group's smooth operation, aiming at providing satisfactory returns to shareholders and to maintain an ideal capital structure by reducing thus the cost of capital. The Group monitors its capital based on the leverage ratio. The leverage ratio is calculated by dividing net debt with total employed capital. Net debt is calculated as "Total debt" (including "shortterm and long-term debt" as presented in the Statement of Financial Position) minus "Cash and cash equivalents", "Financial assets available for sale" and "financial assets at fair value through the profit and loss". The calculation of net debt does not include the purchase of treasury shares. Total employed capital is calculated as "Shareholders' Equity" as presented in the statement of financial position plus net debt. The leverage ratio on 31 December 2015 was as follows:

GROUP
31/12/2015 31/12/2014
TOTAL DEBT 34,156,114.24 17,000,000.00

TOTAL EMPLOYED CAPITAL 160,206,203.40 150,059,624.01
LEVERAGE RATIO -4.50% -6.38%

4.9.2 Financial Instruments

The Group's financial instruments mainly consist of bank deposits, bank overdrafts, trade debtors and creditors, investments in securities, other liabilities.

The financial assets and liabilities during the date of the financial statements can be classified as follows:

Parent
31/12/2015 31/12/2014 31/12/2015 31/12/2014
908,520.28 1,323,254.00 587,820.28 955,850.00

4.9.3 Definition of fair values

The following table presents the financial assets measured at fair value, according to the measurement method. The different categories are as follows:

• Publicized market prices (without amendment or adjustment) for the financial assets traded in active money markets (level 1)

• Measurement or valuation techniques based directly on publicized market prices or calculated indirectly from publicized market prices for similar instruments (level 2).

• Measurement or valuation techniques that are not based on available information from current transactions in active money markets (level 3).

The financial assets measured at fair value during 31 December 2015, are as follows:

Group
Assets Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
Financial Assets Available for Sale 908,520.28 - - 908,520.28
Financial Assets at Fair Value through
Profit and Loss
7,017,679.38 - - 7,017,679.38
Company
Assets Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
2015 ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT (1/1/2015 – 31/12/2015) 45
Financial Assets Available for Sale 587,820.28 - - 587,820.28
Financial Assets at Fair Value through
Profit and Loss 7,017,679.38 - - 7,017,679.38

The fair value of financial assets traded on active markets (i.e. derivatives, equity, bonds, mutual funds), is defined based on the published prices in effect during the end of the reporting period. A market is considered "Active" when there are available and revised prices in frequent intervals, that are published by a stock exchange, broker, sector, rating agency or regulatory authority. Such financial instruments are included in level 1.

The fair value of financial assets not traded on active markets (i.e. over the counter derivative contracts) is defined using valuation techniques that are based primarily on available information for transactions carried out in active markets, while they use the least possible estimations by the entity. Such financial instruments are included in level 2.

If the valuation techniques are not based on available market information, then the financial instruments are included in level 3.

4.9.4 Foreign exchange risk

The Group operates in an environment characterized by relatively high foreign exchange risk given that almost 63% of the Group's total turnover comes from Eastern European countries where the volatility of foreign exchange rates has recently been high. The Management of the Group is constantly examining the currencies' fluctuations, but at the moment has not taken any measures against the foreign exchange risk due to the lack of appropriate hedging tools.

On 31 December 2015, if the euro had depreciated by 5% against the following currencies, with all other variables remaining constant, the effect on the statement of comprehensive income and on the equity of the Group for each currency separately, would be as follows:

Effect Results Equity
PLN 174,212 1,070,114
RON 202,681 677,592
YUD 96,271 886,890

An appreciation by 5% against the relevant currencies, would have an equivalent but opposite effect on the above currencies with the amounts presented above, given that all other variables remain constant.

4.9.5 Interest Rate Risk

The Group's objective is to achieve an optimal balance between borrowing cost and the potential effect of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows. The Group monitors and manages its debt and overall financing strategies using a combination of short and long-term debt. It is Group policy to continuously review interest rate trends along with its financing needs. Daily working capital requirements are typically financed with operational cash flow and through the use of various committed lines of credit. The interest rate on these short-term borrowing arrangements, is generally determined as the inter-bank offering rate at the borrowing date plus a pre-set margin. The mix of fixed-rate debt and variable-rate debt is managed within Group policy guidelines.

An increase of the borrowing rate by 0.5%, taking into account the total debt on 31/12/2015, would result in a reduction of net results and Equity by € 170,781.

4.9.6 Credit Risk

The Group's trade receivables mainly come from wholesale clients. All Group companies monitor the financial position of their debtors on an ongoing basis and control the granting of credit as well as the credit lines. When considered appropriate, credit guarantee insurance cover is purchased. When there is a possibility that receivables will not be collected, provisions are made for bad debts. On 31 December 2015 and 2014, the maturity of outstanding receivables from customers was as follows:

4.9.7 Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies the existence of a balance between cash flows as well as funding through adequate amounts of committed credit facilities. The Group closely monitors the amount of short-term and longterm funding as well as the proportion of such towards total debt and the composition of total debt, manages the risk that could arise from the lack of sufficient liquidity and secures that necessary borrowing facilities are maintained. The Group has sufficient credit line facilities that could be utilized to fund any potential shortfall in cash resources.

The Group manages and monitors its working capital in order to minimize any possible liquidity and cash flow risks. The maturity of financial liabilities on 31 December 2015 and 2014 for the Company and Group, is analyzed as follows:

The calculations of the study were based on the following actuarial assumptions:

a. Average annual long-term inflation rate: 2%

b. Annual Increase of Wages: 1.3%

c. Discount rate: According to guidance of IAS 19, the discount rate for the calculation of present values, and the investment of reserves must be defined prudently. In our case, this rate was set at 4.0%, in nominal terms.

d. Employee mobility: We assumed that no dismissals will occur and all employees will receive indemnity during their retirement.

e. Retirement ages and condition: According to the statutory provisions of the Main Social Insurance fund of each employee.

f. Indemnities: In application of the legal provisions of Law 4093/2012.

g. Assets for the indemnity of Law 2112/20: zero (0)

The expense for the provision for staff retirement indemnities that was recognized in the results, is as follows:
