The present Interim Condensed Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 (I.A.S.) "Interim Financial Statements" and Law 3556/2007 of the Hellenic Capital Market Commission.
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.
Differences that possibly appear between accounts in the financial statements and the respective accounts in the notes are due to rounding.
The financial statements of the Group THRACE PLASTICS Co. S.A. are posted on the internet, on the website www.thracegroup.gr.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The amendment of the standard was made in order to clarify that IAS 40 and IFRS 3 are not mutually excluded.
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 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.
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.
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". The amendment has not been adopted by the European Union.
The amendment clarifies that the use of revenue-based methods to calculate the depreciation of an asset is not appropriate because revenue generated by an activity that includes the use of an asset generally reflects factors other than the consumption of the economic benefits embodied in the asset and that revenue is generally presumed to be an inappropriate basis for measuring the consumption of the economic benefits embodied in an intangible asset. These amendments have not been adopted by the European Union.
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 produce growing on bearer plants will remain within the scope of IAS 41. The amendments have not been adopted by the European Union.
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. The amendment has not been adopted yet by the European Union.
The amendments address a conflict between the requirements of IFRS 10 and IAS 28 with regard to the sale or contribution of assets between an Investor and its associate or joint venture. They clarify that in a transaction involving an associate or joint venture the full gain or loss should be recognized. Partial gain or loss is recognized when the transaction includes assets which do not constitute an entire business activity even if these assets are in the form of a subsidiary company. The amendments have not been adopted yet by the European Union.
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. The amendments have not been adopted yet by the European Union.
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.
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.
The amendment clarifies the definition of the "fulfillment condition" and defines distinctively the "yield term" and the "service term".
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.
The amendment requires the disclosure of the management's estimates with regard to the aggregation of the operating segments.
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.
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.
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.
The following amendments describe the main changes in four IFRS. The amendments have not been adopted by the European Union.
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.
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.
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.
The amendment clarifies the concept of the "meaning of disclosure of information elsewhere in the interim financial report" that is mentioned in this standard.

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 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.
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 € 837.
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.
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.
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.».
There are no events subsequent to the date of the balance date, which affect the financial statements of the Group.
