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 2014.

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

IFRIC 21 "Levies"

This interpretation defines the accounting treatment of a liability for a levy imposed by the government and that is not income tax. The interpretation clarifies that the obligating event based on which the obligation to pay the levy should have been created (one of the criteria for the recognition of liability according to IAS 37) is the action as such is described in the relevant law that imposes the levy's payment. The interpretation may lead to the recognition of a liability in the future, particularly as regards to levies that are imposed as a result of conditions that are effective on a specific date.

Annual Improvements in IFRS of 2013

The following amendments describe the major changes that have been made in three IFRS as result of the Circle 2011-2013 of the annual improvement program of IASB.

IFRS 3 "Business Combinations"

The amendment clarifies that the IFRS 3 does not apply in the recording of the formulation of any joint activity based on IFRS 11 in the financial statements of the particular joint activity.

IFRS 13 "Fair Value Measurement"

The amendment clarifies that the exception provided from the IFRS 13 for portfolio of financial assets and liabilities is applied in all contracts (including the non financial ones) with the context of application of IAS 39/IFRS 9.

IAS 40 "Investment Property"

The amendment of the standard was made in order to clarify that IAS 40 and IFRS 3 are not mutually excluded.

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 1st 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 European Union.

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.

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

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» (effective for annual accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016)

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 Greek companies of the Group, have created a provision amounting to € 1,034 which is considered as adequate to cover possible liabilities that will arise from a tax audit.

For the financial years from 2011 until 2014, Greek Société Anonyme Companies and Limited Liability Companies, whose annual financial statements must by audited by Legal Certified Auditors that are registered in the public Registry of Law 3693/2008, are obliged to receive an "Annual Certificate", as stipulated by par. 5 of article 82 of L.2238/1994. The relevant certificate is issued after tax audit conducted by the same Legal Certified Auditor or audit firm that audits the annual financial

statements. Following the completion of the tax audit, the Legal Auditor or audit firm issues a "Tax Compliance Report" for the Company which is accompanied by the Notes on Detailed Information. Within ten days, at the latest, from the final approval date of the Company's financial statements by the General Meeting of Shareholders, the aforementioned Report and the relevant Notes are submitted electronically to the Ministry of Finance by the Legal Auditor or the audit firm. The Ministry of Finance will subsequently select a sample of companies corresponding to at least 9% for a tax review by the relevant tax audit services of the Ministry.

This audit must be completed in a period not longer than eighteen months from the date the "Tax Compliance Report" is submitted to the Ministry of Finance.

The tax audit for the financial year 2014 was conducted and completed in accordance by the audit firm "PricewaterhouseCoopers SA". No significant tax obligations emerged apart from those recorded and depicted in the Financial Statements.

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, 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.

Specifically, there is joint management with the other shareholder in the companies Lumite Inc. (50% owned by Thrace Plastics Group), Thrace Sarantis SA (50%), Thrace Greiner Packaging SRL (46.42%) and Thrace Eurobent SA (51%). 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 € 1,100 as well as the company Thrace Eurobent SA with participation value of € 204.

On 30 September 2015 there are no significant legal issues pending that may have a material effect in the financial position of the Companies in the Group.

An amount of taxes – surcharges of € 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. 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

The Greek banks entered into a bank holiday period on 28.06.2015 via an Act of Legislative Content which imposed capital controls in accordance with the respective decision of the Ministry of Finance. The bank holiday was terminated on 20.07.2015 whereas capital controls still remain intact despite the constant improvements in the relevant legislative framework towards the relaxation of initial capital control measures.

It is noted that the capital controls did not have any negative effect on the Group's sales in the Greek market until today (Greek sales represent only 17% of the total turnover). However at the current stage it is difficult to estimate any future effect on the results due to the imposed capital controls.

In any case, the Management has concluded that there is no need for additional provisions for impairment with regard to the financial and non-financial assets of the Group and the Company on 30th September 2015, whereas it constantly monitors the developments in order to take measures and proceed with actions for the minimization of the negative effect on the activity of the Company and the Group.

Below the most important events of the 9-month period of 2015 are presented:

  • On 20 February 2015, the Group established the company "Thrace Eurobent S.A." which activates in the manufacturing of waterproof products via the use of Geosynthetic Clay Liner – GCL. "Thrace Plastic Co S.A." and the Polish company "Eurobent Sp. zo.o." participate in the new company's share capital with 51% and 49% respectively. The company's headquarters and production facilities are located in Xanthi, Greece.

  • The Annual Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting that convened on 15 April 2015 approved the annual financial statements and the distribution of a dividend amounting to Euro one million (1,000,000 gross amount) from which a tax amount of 10% was withheld according to the article 64 of Law 4172/2013. The payment of the above approved distributed amount commenced on 27th April 2015.

According to the Law 4334/2015, which is in effect from 16/07/2015, the income tax rate imposed on legal entities increased from 26% to 29% for earnings recorded in the financial years beginning from 01/01/2015. For this reason, the recorded taxes on the Financial Statements were calculated according to the new increased tax rate.

  • In application with the clauses of paragraph 4.1.3.1 of the Regulation of the Athens Exchange and of article 10, paragraph 1 of L. 3340/2005, and in continuation of the special tax audit for the financial year 2014, which was conducted by the legal auditors according to article 65Α, Law

4174/2013, the relevant tax certificates with conclusion titled "without reservation" were issued for the Company as well as its subsidiaries « Thrace Non Wovens & Geosynthetics S.A.», «Thrace-Sarantis S.A.», «Thrace Plastics Pack S.A.» and «Thrace Greenhouses S.A.».
