According to the laws 3873/2010 and 3556/2007 and the executive decisions of the Hellenic Capital Market Commission, we submit for the fiscal year of 2010 (1st January – 31st December 2010) the present annual report of the board of Directors referring to the consolidated and the Parent Company financial data.

* Adjusted for change in accounting relating to Logistics Revenue and Costs.

We are pleased that we have been able to deliver these strong full year results in a challenging environment, reaffirming our global strategy, our ability to execute effectively in the market place and our restructuring initiatives that were undertaken at the beginning of the economic downturn. During the year we witnessed continued positive trends from the emerging economies, whilst we began to see signs of recovery in some of our European markets.

As we enter 2011, we believe that we are very well placed to continue building on our multiple platforms for growth, given our robust, and improving, capital structure and liquidity, market leading geographic positions and best-in-class Innovation. Therefore, we expect to see continued growth in our top-line over the coming year; however we remain cautious with regard to the extent and timing of the recovery in the European economies, whilst we expect pressure from the ongoing rising input costs.

3) Business Review

3.1) Operational Review

Frigoglass Consolidated Net Sales increased 31.9% for the full year to €457.2 million with Sales in the fourth quarter increasing by 17.8%. Growth was driven by Cool Operations, where Sales increased by 37.0% for the full year, to €375.2 million, and by 19.0% in the fourth quarter, to €88.1 million. Sales at Glass Operations increased 12.7% in Euro terms for the full year, to €82.0 million, and by 13.3% in the fourth quarter, to €22.5 million. Sales at Cool Operations represented 82% of full-year Consolidated Sales, compared to 79% in the prior year.

At Cool Operations, Sales in Eastern Europe continued to demonstrate strong momentum in the fourth quarter, and increased 89.0% for the full year, driven primarily by Russia, the Czech Republic and Ukraine. Sales in Western Europe increased by 9.7% for the full year, posting a positive reversal compared to the first half of the year, with the largest incremental contributions derived from Italy, Austria, Sweden and Norway. Sales growth in Africa / Middle East accelerated in the fourth quarter, with a 21.4% increase for the full year, driven by notable incremental contributions from Kenya, Zimbabwe, Nigeria and South Africa. Sales in Asia / Oceania increased 18.0% for the full year, with the greatest incremental contributions from China, the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia. In the USA, the integration of Frigoglass North America continues to progress in line with management expectations.

In terms of sales by key customer groups, Sales to Coca-Cola bottlers other than Coca-Cola Hellenic increased 12.1% for the full year, representing 36.9% of Cool Operations Sales. Sales to Coca-Cola Hellenic increased 59.1% for the full year, albeit from a lower comparable base, accounting for 16.7% of Cool Sales. Sales to the brewery segment increased 33.1% in the full year, contributing 24.0% to full-year Cool Sales. Sales to all other customer groups accelerated on a sequential basis in the fourth quarter, leading to a full-year increase of 93.8%, with a substantial increase in the contribution to Cool Sales to 22.4% from 15.8% the previous year, demonstrating the ongoing successful diversification of the customer base.

Sales at Glass Operations increased 12.7% in Euro terms for the full year to €82.0 million (9.2% growth in Naira terms) accounting for 18% of full-year Consolidated Sales compared to 21% in the prior year. Sales at Glass increased 9.2% in Euro terms in the full year to €56.6 million (5.7% increase in local currency terms). This includes the impact on sales at the beginning of the year of the planned closure of one of the furnaces for refurbishment as well as the significant increase in energy prices which led to delays in sales orders. Sales at Other Operations (Metal Crowns and Plastic Crates) increased 21.5% in Euro terms for the full year to €25.4 million (17.7% increase in Naira terms).

At a Consolidated level, Operating Profit (EBIT) increased 67.7% for the full year to €49.3 million, reflecting the effect of positive operating leverage, partly impacted by the dilution to profitability from the start-up phase of the USA operation as well as in the fourth quarter by increased warranty and service provisions relating to the placement of new products. Net Profit increased to €20.5 million for the full year, compared to €3.0 million in the prior year after the €5.5 million one-off Special Contribution tax; adjusting for this, Net Profit in 2009 would have amounted to €8.5 million.

Cash generated from operations before working capital movements, amounted to €62.6 million, compared to €37.3 million the comparable period last year. The strong increase in Sales led to a significant working capital outflow of €32.0 million, which resulted in an inflow of €2.1 million in Net Cash flow after operational and investing activities, compared to an inflow of €35.3 million for the full year last year. Capex amounted to €30.6 million, versus €17.9 in the comparable period last year.

Cool Operations

Sales at Cool Operations increased 37.0% for the full year to €375.2 million, driven by solid growth in all regions and with particularly strong growth in Eastern Europe. Volumes increased by 30% relative to the prior year.

Revenue by Geography

Eastern Europe continued to demonstrate strong momentum in the fourth quarter, with the region delivering 89.0% sales growth for the full year to €131.4 million, contributing 35.0% to Cool Operations Sales. Growth in the region was primarily driven by Russia, as well as by incremental contributions from the Czech Republic and Ukraine. Sales in Western Europe increased 9.7% to €72.3 million for the full year, with this region representing 19.3% of Cool Operations Sales. The markets which contributed the largest incremental contributions were Italy, Austria, Sweden and Norway, which more than offset the reductions in the United Kingdom and Greece, where macro-economic conditions remain challenging.

Sales growth in Africa / Middle East accelerated in the fourth quarter, leading to a 21.4% increase for the full year to €75.4 million, accounting for 20.1% of Cool Sales. Kenya, Zimbabwe, Nigeria and South Africa provided the largest incremental contributions to Sales.

The positive operating leverage, reflecting the improved top line momentum and the reduction in the Operating Expenses margins, was partially offset by the start-up impact of the USA operation as well as in the fourth quarter by increased warranty and service provisions relating to the placement of new products.

Net Profit increased to €13.1 million for the full year, compared to a €2.8 million loss in the prior year, with the respective margin ending at 3.5%.

Summary Profit and Loss Account

* Adjusted for change in accounting relating to Logistics Revenue and Costs.

Net Sales

Consolidated Sales increased by 31.9% for the full year, to €457.2 million. This was driven by a 37.0% Sales growth at Cool Operations to €375.2 million, with solid growth across all regions. Glass Operations also posted solid growth for the full year, with Sales increasing by 12.7% to €82.0 million.

Gross Profit

Gross Profit increased by 46.2% to €106.8 million for the full year, with the respective margin expanding by 230 basis points to 23.4%. This reflects the benefit of positive operating leverage, driven by the combination of increased Sales and ongoing effective cost management, with the Cost of Goods Sold margin reduced to 76.6% compared to 78.9% last year.

Operating Profit (EBIT)

Operating Profit increased by 67.7% to €49.3 million for the full year, with the respective margin increasing by 230 basis points to 10.8%. The Total Operating Expenses margin contracted by 40 basis points to 13.1%. The R&D Expenses margin remained stable however, highlighting Frigoglass commitment to invest in organic growth platforms.

Positive operating leverage was partially offset by the dilutive start-up impact of the USA operation as well as the fourth quarter increased warranty and service provisions relating to the placement of new products. EBIT in the comparable period last year included a €1.5 million exceptional benefit relating to the sale of assets in Norway and the reduction in the provision taken for the write-down of machinery in Norway and Poland.

Net Profit

Net Profit amounted to €20.5 million for the full year, compared to €3.0 million in the prior year, including a 19.3% increase in Net Financial Expenses and an increase in the effective tax rate to 27.0% compared to 25.1% in the previous year. Net Profit in 2009 was impacted by a one-off Special Contribution tax, which amounted to €5.5 million for Frigoglass; adjusting for this, Net Profit would have amounted to €8.5 million.

Cash flow

Strong trading led to a 68% increase in cash generated from operations to €62.6 million. However, the associated working capital requirements and in particular increased inventories to meet production requirements of the first half of the coming year, led to a €32.0 million working capital outflow for the full year and Net Cash generated from Operations reaching €30.7 million.

Net Investing activities increased by €11.9 million compared to the same period of last year due to higher capex spending. Overall, this resulted in a net cash inflow of €2.1 million after operational and investing activities, compared to an inflow of €35.3 million in the comparable period last year.

Balance Sheet

Net Debt increased to €172.7 million at year end, compared to €167.5 million in the prior year. Net Debt / Equity was reduced to 119.9% compared to 140.9% in the prior year. Furthermore, Net Debt / EBITDA decreased to 2.3x compared to 3.1x in the prior year. Average Net Working Capital increased by 11.4% to €177.0 million for the full year, which compares favourably to the 31.9% increase in Net Sales. Therefore, Net Working Capital / Net Sales improved to 0.39, versus 0.46 in the prior year.

Capital Expenditure

Capital expenditure amounted to €30.6 million for the full year, compared to €17.9 million in the prior year. Cool Operations accounted for €15.8 million, directed mainly towards machinery and equipment, the development of new products and the integration of Frigoglass North America. Glass Operations accounted for €14.8 million, directed primarily to machinery and equipment, relating to the planned refurbishment of one of the Glass furnaces.

3.4) Parent Company Financial Data

The Company's Net Sales slightly decreased by 0.2% y-o-y to € 51 mil. Gross Profit increased by 26.5% to € 4.7 mil compared to previous year that was € 3,7 mil.

4.5) Board Committees

a) Audit Committee

The Audit Committee ensures that the internal and external audits within the Company comply with statutory requirements and are effective and independent. The Audit Committee also serves to facilitate good communication between the auditors and the Board of Directors. The Audit Committee oversees the annual statutory audit and the half year statutory review as well as the ongoing audit work that is performed by the internal audit fuction of the Company. It ensures that all recommendations of external and internal audits are implemented by the Company's management.

The Audit Committee evaluates the internal audit reports and the availability of human resources and equipment of the internal audit department.

The Audit Committee also evaluates the appropriateness of the system of internal control, computer system and security, as well as the reports of the external auditors concerning the financial statements. Ιt also follows the procedure of financial information and the efficient operation of the risk management system. Finally, it is burdened with the task of providing its opinion to the Board in order for it to propose to the General Meeting the appointment of the external auditors.

Audit Committee Activities

i) Meetings and attendance

The Audit Committee met on three (3) occasions in 2010 timed to coincide with the financial and reporting cycles of the Company.

At these meetings the Frigoglass Internal Audit Manager and the statutory auditors PricewaterhouseCoopers ("PwC") had the opportunity to discuss matters with the Audit Committee without any executive management being present.

ii) Financial reporting

The Audit Committee considered a wide range of financial reporting and related matters in respect of the 2009 annual financial statements and the 2010 half-year financial information. In this respect the Audit Committee reviewed any significant areas of judgment that materially impacted reported results, key points of disclosure and presentation to ensure the adequacy, clarity and completeness of the financial statements and the financial information, and the content of results announcements prior to their submission to the Board. The Audit Committee also considered reports from PwC on their review of the 2009 annual and 2010 half year Board of Directors report that forms part of the statutory reporting obligations of the Company.

iii) External auditors

Independence

The Audit Committee is responsible for the development, implementation and monitoring of the Company's policies on external audit. The policies, designed to maintain the objectivity and independence of the external auditors, regulate the appointment of former employees of the external audit firm to positions in the Company and set out the approach to be taken when using the external auditors for non-audit work.

As a general principle the external auditors are excluded from consultancy work and cannot be engaged by Frigoglass for other non-audit work unless there are compelling reasons to do so. Any proposal to use the external auditors for non-audit work must be submitted to the Audit Committee, for approval prior to appointment.

The Audit Committee receives annual confirmation from PwC as to their independence and objectivity within the context of applicable regulatory requirements and professional standards, as well as management confirmation of compliance with the Company's policies on the employment of former employees of the external auditors and the use of the external auditors for non-audit work.

Effectiveness and reappointment

The Audit Committee has undertaken its annual review of the qualification, expertise, resources and independence of the external auditors and the effectiveness of the external audit process by:

  • Reviewing, and approving, PwC's plans for the audit of the Company's 2010 financial statements, the terms of engagement for the audit and the proposed audit fee.
  • Considering the views of Directors, senior management and the PwC engagement partner on PwC' s independence, objectivity, integrity, audit strategy and its relationship with the Company, obtained by way of interview.
  • Taking into account information provided by PwC on their independence and quality control procedures.

In making its recommendation to the Board that PwC be reappointed for a further year, the Audit Committee took into account their tenure as auditors and considered whether there should be a full tender process. There were no contractual obligations restricting the Audit Committee's choice of external auditors.

iv) Internal Audit

In 2010 the Audit Committee:

  • Reviewed the results of the audits undertaken by Internal Audit and considered the adequacy of management's response to the matters raised, including the implementation of any recommendations made.
  • Reviewed and approved the 2011 Internal Audit program, including the proposed audit approach, coverage and allocation of resources.
  • Reviewed the effectiveness of Internal Audit, taking into account the views of Directors and senior management on matters such as independence, proficiency, resourcing, and audit strategy, planning and methodology.
  • Reviewed regular reports on control issues of Company level significance, including details of any remedial action being taken. It considered reports from Internal Audit and PwC on the Company's systems of internal control and reported to the Board on the results of its review.

The Internal Audit department is an independent function that ensures that all operations are executing their duties in accordance with the corporate objectives, policies and procedures. In particular, Internal Audit seeks to ensure that internal financial control systems across the Company remain robust and consistent.

The internal auditor acts according to the International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing and the policies and procedures of the Company, and reports directly to the Audit Committee of the Board.

Frigoglass also communicates with the investment community through its participation in a number of conferences and road-shows (in Greece and abroad) and the schedule of conference calls.

4.7) Compliance with the Code's provisions

The Board sets out below and explains the reasons where in certain areas the Company's practice departed from the recommendations of the Code during the year 2010.

  • a) The Company has not adopted a Board's performance evaluation process but is in the process of adopting one in the upcoming year.
  • b) The Company does not have a Board members nomination committee but will proceed within 2011 with the formation of this committee.
  • c) The Board has one executive member instead of two as the code provides, as it strongly believes that more non-executive and independent members strengthen corporate governance practices.
  • d) Both the Audit and the Human Resources and Remuneration Committees will appoint as their Chairman a non-executive independent Board member within 2011.

5) Main Risks and uncertainties

Raw Material Price Volatility

Raw material costs headwinds as copper, steel, aluminium and PVC are our main raw materials and therefore we have adopted policies to mitigate this risk. We negotiate volume, not just price.

We keep strategic inventory reserves at the supplier, at our plants, and in finished goods, to guarantee availability.

We set up contracts with suppliers that are long enough to satisfy production plans but short enough to permit adjustment if prices start to decline.

In addition, at the second quarter of 2009 we have entered into commodities derivative financial instruments in order to hedge its exposure from changes in the prices of raw materials for purchases that will take place in 2010 and onwards.

Product Demand

Due to possible demand slowdown for ICM's arising from global economic uncertainties we expand business into new markets and attract new customers in existing markets.

FX rate exposure

The Group/Company operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the US dollar, Nigerian naira, South African rand, Indian rupee, Norwegian Krone, Swedish Krona, Russian rubble and the Chinese Yuan.

Entities in the Group use natural hedging, transacted with the Group Treasury, to hedge their exposure to foreign currency risk in connection with the presentation currency.

Liquidity Risk:

The prudent management of liquidity is achieved through the appropriate combination of cash and cash equivalents and approved bank credit.

The Group manages the risks which may arise due to insufficient liquidity by procuring that guaranteed bank credit is always available for use. The existing available and unused approved bank credit extended to the Group is sufficient to face any potential cash flow shortage.

Significant customer dependency

Significant customer dependence on CCH. Efforts during the past year have reduced our dependency. There is a continuous ongoing effort to broaden our client base.

Political instability in emerging markets.

  • Penetration of organized crime in the global economy increases significantly over a 10-year period, weakening state authority, worsening the investment climate and slowing growth.
  • Multiple developed economies take steps (tariffs, WTO disputes) which retard existing trade and further undermine talks on increased global integration.
  • Multiple significant emerging economies advance policies that harm foreign direct investment and slow the engine of global growth.

Risk of natural disasters mostly in S.E. Asia. (lack of infrastructure)

Extreme weather events linked to climate change and other natural disasters (i.e. earthquakes) will impact businesses and society at large.

We are adopting full business continuity plans to protect against business interruption arising from natural disasters.

Nigeria Division

  • Customs related restrictions which imply the risk of delay in imports of raw materials.
  • Raw material price pressure, associated with glass (natural gas) as it is the main energy source for all of our three plants, and soda ash, raw material for our glass companies.
  • Freight cost increase.

6) Business Outlook

The positive momentum in 2010 was characterised by the recovery in our Cool business, with the early right-sizing initiatives undertaken in 2009 and into 2010 being reinforced by the return to the investment cycle by our customers. We expect the positive momentum to be maintained in the emerging regions, continued recovery in Europe and increased contribution from our North America and Philippines operations. Glass is expected to maintain its positive momentum seen this year.

During the fourth quarter of 2010, we began to witness increasing input costs. This has continued to build in the early part of the current year and we expect to impact us during the course of the year.

Given the broadly improving economic outlook, we expect to increase our capital expenditure during 2011 to approximately €38 million, in Cool towards capacity and efficiency as well as in Glass towards machinery upgrades.

Our intensive focus on adjusting our production levels to expected demand patterns, our continued investment in new products, services and sales initiatives, together with our market leading global footprint, all leave us well placed to continue to deliver growth. In addition, our improving capital structure and liquidity provide us with the financial flexibility to continue pursuing attractive opportunities as they arise.

7) Events after balance sheet date and other information

No significant events have occurred from the end of the fiscal period under consideration to the date of this report, that have any affect on the reported fiscal period.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Notes to the financial statements

1 General Information

These financial statements include the financial statements of the Parent Company FRIGOGLASS S.A.I.C. (the "Company") and the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (the "Group"). The names of the subsidiaries are presented in Note 14 of the financial statements.

Frigoglass S.A.I.C. and its subsidiaries are engaged in the manufacturing, trade and distribution of commercial refrigeration units and packaging materials for the beverage industry. The Group has manufacturing plants and sales offices in Europe, Asia, Africa and America.

The Company is a limited liability company incorporated and based in Kifissia, Attica. The Company's' shares are listed on the Athens Stock Exchange.

The address of its registered office is:

15, A. Metaxa Street GR 145 64, Kifissia Athens, Hellas

The company's web page is: www.frigoglass.com

The financial statements have been approved by the Board of Directors on 18 February 2011.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented, unless otherwise stated.

2.1 Basis of Preparation

These financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and IFRIC interpretations as adopted by the European Union, and International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the IASB.

All International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the IASB and effective at the time of preparing these financial statements have been adopted by the European Commission through the endorsement procedure established by the European Commission, with the exception of certain provisions of International Accounting Standard 39 "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement" relating to portfolio hedging of core deposits.

Since the Group and the Company are not affected by the provisions regarding portfolio hedging that are not required by the EU-endorsed version of IAS 39, the accompanying financial statements comply with both IFRS as adopted by the EU and IFRS issued by the IASB.

Τhe financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with the exception of derivative financial instruments that are measured at fair value.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in the process of applying the accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 4.

2.2 Consolidation

2.2.1 Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group has the power to govern their financial and operating policies, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than 50% of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair values of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus any costs directly attributable to the acquisition. The acquired identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any minority interests (minority rights).

The excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group's share of the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired is recorded as goodwill. Note 2.6.1 describes the accounting treatment of goodwill. Whenever the cost of the acquisition is less than the fair value of the Group's share of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised directly in the income statement.

Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless there is evidence of impairment. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

The Group applies a policy of treating transactions with minority interests as transactions with equity owners of the group. For purchases from minority interests, the difference between any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is deducted from equity. Gains or losses on disposals to minority interests are also recorded in equity. For disposals to minority interests, differences between any proceeds received and the relevant share of minority interests are also recorded in equity.

The Company accounts for investments in subsidiaries in its separate financial statements at historic cost less impairment losses.

2.3 Segment reporting

A business segment is a group of assets and operations engaged in providing products or services that are subject to risks and returns that are different from those of other business segments. A geographical segment is engaged in providing products or a service within a particular economic environment that are subject to risks and returns that are different from those of segments operating in other economic environments.

2.4 Foreign currency translation

2.4.1 Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each entity in the Group are measured using the currency that best reflects the economic substance of the underlying events and circumstances relevant to that entity ("the functional currency").

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Euros, which is the Company's functional and presentation currency.

2.4.2 Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions, and from the translation at year-end exchange rates, of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, are recognised in the income statement.

2.4.3 Group companies

The results and financial position of all group entities that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

  • Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the balance sheet date.
  • Income and expenses for each income statement are translated at the average exchange rate of the reporting period, unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case the rate on the date of the transaction is used.
  • All resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of equity.
  • On the disposal of a foreign operation, the cumulative exchange differences relating to that particular foreign operation, presented as a separate component of equity, are recognised in the income statement as part of the gain or loss on sale.

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign operations, are recognised in shareholders' equity. On the disposal of a foreign operation, the cumulative exchange differences relating to that particular foreign operation, deferred in "foreign currency translation reserve" in shareholders equity, are recognised in the income statement as part of the gain or loss on sale.

Goodwill and other fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and are translated at the closing rate at the balance sheet date.

2.5 Property plant and equipment

Buildings comprise mainly factories and offices. All property, plant and equipment are stated at historic cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses, except for land which is shown at cost less any impairment losses.

Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the tangible assets. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Interest costs on borrowings, specifically, used to finance the acquisition of property, plant and equipment are capitalised, during the period of time required to prepare and complete the asset for its intended use. Other borrowing costs are recorded in the income statement as expenses.

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to write off the cost of each asset to its residual value over its estimated useful life as follows:

Buildings up to 40 years
Vehicles up to 6 years
Glass Furnaces 7 years
Glass Moulds 2 years
Machinery up to 15 years
Furniture & Fixtures up to 6 years

The cost of subsequent expenditures is depreciated during the estimated useful life of the asset and costs for major periodic renovations are depreciated to the date of the next scheduled renovation. When an item of plant and machinery comprises major components with different useful lives, the components are accounted for as separate items of plant and machinery.

The tangible assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.

In the case where an asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, it is written down immediately to its recoverable amount and the difference (impairment loss) is recorded as expense in the income statement.

The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. Where the carrying amount of an asset is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, it is written down immediately to its recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset. These gains or losses are included in the income statement.

2.6 Intangible assets

2.6.1 Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group's share in the acquired subsidiary's net assets at the date of acquisition.

Goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. At each balance sheet date the Group assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indications exist, an analysis is performed to assess whether the carrying amount of goodwill is fully recoverable.

Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is performed on the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the acquisition from which goodwill was derived.

Loss from impairment is recognised if the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.

2.6.2 Research Expenses

Research expenditure is recognised as an expense as incurred.

2.6.3 Development Expenses

Costs incurred on development projects (relating to the design and testing of new or improved products) are recognised as intangible assets when it is probable that the project will be successful, considering its commercial and technological feasibility, and also the costs can be measured reliably. Other development expenditures are recognised as an expense in the income statement as incurred. Development costs that have a finite useful life and that have been capitalised, are amortised from the commencement of their production on a straight line basis over the period of its useful life, not exceeding 5 years.

2.6.4 Computer software

Capitalised software licenses are carried at acquisition cost less accumulated amortisation, less any accumulated impairment. They are amortised using the straight-line method over their useful lives, not exceeding a period of 5 years. Computer software development or maintenance costs are recognised as expenses in the income statement as they incur.

2.6.5 Other intangible assets - Patterns and Trademarks

Patents, trademarks and licences are shown at historical cost less accumulated amortisation, less any accumulated impairment. These intangible assets have a definite useful life, and their cost is amortised using the straight-line method over their useful lives not exceeding a period of 15 years.

2.7 Impairment of non-financial assets

Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

An impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately, for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.

The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units).

2.8 Financial assets

The Group classifies its financial assets in the following categories: at fair value through profit and loss, loans and receivables, and available for sale. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition and re-evaluates this designation at every reporting date.

(a) Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss

This category has two sub-categories: financial assets held for trading, and those designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term or if so designated by management. Derivatives are also categorised as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current assets.

The Group and the Company did not own any financial assets, including derivatives held for trading during the periods presented in these financial statements. These financial assets when they occur are recorded at fair value through the income statement.

(b) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the balance sheet date, which are classified as non-current assets. Receivables are classified as 'trade and other receivables' or cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet (Note 2.11 and Note 2.12).

The Group did not have any receivables from loan contracts during the periods presented in these financial statements.

(c) Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months of the balance sheet date. Available-for-sale financial assets are carried at fair value with any change in the fair value recognised in equity.

The Group did not own any financial assets that can be characterised as available-for-sale financial assets during the periods presented in these financial statements.

(d) Investments in subsidiaries

Equity investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less impairment losses in the separate financial statements of the parent. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement.

(e) Impairment of financial assets

The Group and Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. In the case of equity securities classified as available for sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered as an indicator that the securities are impaired. If any such evidence exists for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss – measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit or loss – is removed from equity and recognised in the income statement. Impairment losses recognised in the income statement on equity instruments are not reversed through the income statement. Impairment testing of trade receivables is described in Note 2.11.

(f) Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of any derivative instruments are recognised immediately in the income statement within 'other gains/(losses) – net'. The Group's policy is not to enter into derivatives contracts as hedging instruments.

The Group, in the second Quarter of 2009, entered into certain derivative contracts for the purpose of hedging activities. Derivatives associated with hedging activities are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value. The method of recognising the resulting fair value gain or loss depends on the nature of the item being hedged. For the current reporting period the Group designated for the first time certain derivatives as hedges of a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction (i.e. cash flow hedges).

The Group documents at the inception of the transaction the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged item, as well as its risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedging transactions. The Group also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of hedged items.

Cash flow hedge

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognised in equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the income statement within 'other gains/ (losses) – net'.

Amounts accumulated in equity are recycled in the income statement in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss. The gain or loss relating to the effective portion of interest rate swaps hedging variable rate borrowings is recognised in the income statement within 'finance costs'. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised in the income statement within 'other gains/ (losses) – net'. However, when the forecast transaction that is hedged results in the recognition of a non-financial asset (for example, inventory or fixed assets), the gains and losses previously deferred in equity are transferred from equity and included in the initial measurement of the cost of the asset. The deferred amounts are ultimately recognised in cost of goods sold in the case of inventory or in depreciation in the case of fixed assets.

When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognised when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in the income statement. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in equity is immediately transferred to the income statement within 'other gains/ (losses) – net'.

2.9 Leases

2.9.1 When a Group company is the lessee

Leases where the lessor retains a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received by the lessor) are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

Leases of property, plant and equipment where a Group entity has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the lower of the fair value of the leased assets and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance charges so as to achieve a constant rate on the finance lease liability outstanding.

The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in liabilities as other long-term payables. The interest element of the finance cost is charged to the income statement over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. Property, plant and equipment, acquired under finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term.

2.9.2 When a Group company is the lessor

When assets are leased out under a finance lease, the present value of the lease payments is recognised as a receivable. The difference between the gross receivable and the present value of the receivable is recognised as unearned finance income. Lease income is recognised over the term of the lease using the net investment method, which reflects a constant periodic rate of return.

Assets leased out under operating leases are included within tangible assets in the balance sheet. They are depreciated over their expected useful lives, which are defined on the basis of similar tangible assets owned by the Group. Rental income (net of any incentives given to lessees) is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

2.10 Inventories

Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less any applicable selling expenses.

The cost of finished goods and work in progress is measured on a weighted average bases and comprises raw materials, direct labour cost and other related production overheads.

Appropriate allowance is made for excessive, obsolete and slow moving items. Writedowns to net realisable value and inventory losses are expensed in the period in which the write-downs or losses occur.

2.11 Trade receivables

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method less provision for impairment. A provision for impairment of trade receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Group entity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and default or delinquency in payments (more than 120 days overdue) are considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired.

The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the recoverable amount.

The recoverable amount, if the receivable is more than 1 year is equal to the present value of expected cash flow, discounted at the market rate of interest applicable to similar borrowers. The amount of the provision is recognised as an expense in the income statement.

Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against 'selling and marketing costs' in the income statement.

2.12 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Bank overdrafts are included within borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet.

2.13 Share capital

  • Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
  • Incremental external costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
  • When the Company or its subsidiaries purchase the Company's own equity share the amount paid - including any attributable incremental external costs net of income taxes - is deducted from total shareholders' equity as treasury shares until they are cancelled or reissued. Where such shares are subsequently sold or reissued, any proceed received is included in shareholders' equity.

2.14 Borrowings

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, as the proceeds received, net of any transaction cost incurred. Borrowings are subsequently recorded at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group entity has an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.

2.15 Current and Deferred income taxes

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company's subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations is subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the balance sheet liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements.

The deferred income tax that arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit nor loss, is not accounted for.

Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that future taxable profit, against which the temporary differences can be utilised, is probable.

Deferred tax liabilities are provided for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except for when the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference, thus it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred income taxation is determined using tax rates that have been enacted at the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the related deferred income tax liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, unless it relates to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recorded in equity.

2.16 Trade Creditors

Trade payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2.17 Employee benefits

2.17.1 Retirement Benefits

Group entities operate various pension and retirement schemes in accordance with the local conditions and practices in the countries they operate. These schemes include both funded and unfunded schemes. The funded schemes are funded through payments to insurance companies or trustee-administered funds, as determined by periodic actuarial calculations. The Group's employees participate in both defined benefit and defined contribution plans.

A defined benefit plan is a pension or voluntary redundancy plan that defines an amount of pension benefit that an employee will receive on retirement, usually dependent on one or more factors such as age, years of service and compensation.

The liability regarding defined benefit pension or voluntary redundancy plans, including certain unfunded termination indemnity benefits plans, is measured as the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date minus the fair value of plan assets (when the program is funded), together with adjustments for actuarial gains/losses and past service cost. The defined benefit obligation is calculated at periodic intervals not exceeding two years, by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates applicable to high quality corporate bonds or government securities with terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related pension liability.

Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments, changes in actuarial assumptions and amendments to pension plans are charged or credited to equity during the assessment period by external actuaries.

Past service cost is recognised as expense on a constant basis during the average period until the contributions are vested. To the extent that these contributions have been vested directly after the amendments or the establishment of a defined benefit plan, the company directly records the past service cost.

A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity that is either publicly or privately administered. Once the contributions have been paid, the Group has no further legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. The regular contributions are recorded as net periodic expenses for the year in which they are due, and as such are included in staff costs.

2.17.2 Termination benefits

Termination benefits are payable whenever an employee's employment is terminated before the normal retirement date or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits.

The Group recognises termination benefits when it is demonstrably committed either to terminate the employment of current employees according to a detailed formal plan without possibility of withdrawal, or to provide termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after balance sheet date are discounted to present value.

2.17.3 Bonus plans

The Company and the Group recognizes a liability for bonuses that are expected to be settled within 12 months and based on amounts expected to be paid upon the settlement of the liability.

2.17.4 Share-based payments

The Company operates a share option scheme for its senior executives. Options are allocated to executives depending on their performance, employment period in the company, and their positions' responsibilities. The options are subject to a two-year service vesting period after granting and may be exercised during a period of three years from the date of award.

The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the grant of the options is recognised as an expense. The total amount to be expensed over the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted, excluding the impact of any non-market vesting conditions.

The proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs are credited to share capital (nominal value) and share premium when the options are exercised.

2.18 Provisions

Provisions are recognised when a) a Group entity has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, b) it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, c) and of the amount can be reliably estimated. Restructuring provisions comprise lease termination penalties and employee termination payments and are recognised in the period during which the Group entity is legally or constructively bound to pay the respective amounts. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses related to the Group's ongoing activities.

When there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

In the case that a Group entity expects a provision to be reimbursed from a third party, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset provided that the reimbursement is virtually certain.

The Group entity recognises a provision for onerous contracts when the expected benefits to be derived from a contract are less than the unavoidable costs of settling the obligations under the contract.

Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures that, according to the management's best estimations, are expected in order to settle the current obligation at the balance sheet date (note 4.1 & 31). The discounting rate used for the calculation of the present value reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation.

The provisions for restructuring costs include mainly fines related to the premature ending of lease agreements and personnel redundancies.

These costs are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation. Personnel redundancies are expensed only when an agreement with the personnel representatives is in place or when employees have been informed in advance for their redundancy.

2.19 Revenue recognition

Revenue comprises the fair value for the sale of goods and services net of value-added tax, rebates and discounts, and after eliminating sales within the Group in the consolidated financial statements. Revenue is recognised as follows:

Sales of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of owning the goods are transferred to the buyer, (usually upon delivery and customer acceptance) and the collectibility of the related receivable is reasonably assured.

Sales of services

Sales of services are recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered, by reference to completion of the specific transaction assessed on the basis of the actual service provided as a proportion of the total services to be provided.

Interest income

Interest income is recognised on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest method. When a receivable is impaired, the Group reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount, being the estimated future cash flow discounted at original effective interest rate of the instrument, and continues unwinding the discount as interest income. Interest income on impaired loans is recognised using the original effective interest rate.

Dividend income

Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established.

2.20 Dividend distribution

Dividends are recorded in the financial statements, as a liability, in the period in which they are approved by the Annual Shareholder Meeting.

2.21 Government Grants

Grants from the government are recognized at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Group entity will comply with anticipated conditions.

Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognized in the income statement over the period corresponding to the costs they are intended to compensate.

Government grants relating to the purchase of property, plant and equipment are included in long-term liabilities as deferred income and are credited to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the expected lives of the related assets.

2.22 Assets Held for Sale

Assets classified as "Assets Held for Sale" are stated at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell, if their carrying amount is to be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use.

2.23 New standards, amendments to 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 and subsequent years. The Group's evaluation of the effect of these new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations is as follows:

Standards and Interpretations effective for the current financial year

IFRS 3 (Revised) "Business Combinations" and IAS 27 (Amended) "Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements"

The revised IFRS 3 introduces a number of changes in the accounting for business combinations which will impact the amount of goodwill recognized, the reported results in the period that an acquisition occurs, and future reported results. Such changes include the expensing of acquisition-related costs and recognizing subsequent changes in fair value of contingent consideration in the profit or loss. The amended IAS 27 requires that a change in ownership interest of a subsidiary to be accounted for as an equity transaction.

The amended standard changes the accounting for losses incurred by the subsidiary as well as the loss of control of a subsidiary. Furthermore the acquirer in a business combination has the option of measuring the non-controlling interest, at the acquisition date, either at fair value or at the amount of the percentage of the non-controlling interest over the net assets acquired. The Group has applied the revised and amended standards from 1 January 2010.

IFRS 2 (Amendment) "Share-based Payment"

The purpose of the amendment is to clarify the scope of IFRS 2 and the accounting for group cash-settled share-based payment transactions in the separate or individual financial statements of the entity receiving the goods or services, when that entity has no obligation to settle the share-based payment transaction. This amendment does not have an impact on the Group's financial statements.

IFRS 2 (Amendment) "Share-based Payment"

The purpose of the amendment is to clarify the scope of IFRS 2 and the accounting for group cash-settled share-based payment transactions in the separate or individual financial statements of the entity receiving the goods or services, when that entity has no obligation to settle the share-based payment transaction. This amendment is not expected to impact the Group's financial statements.

IAS 39 (Amendment) "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement"

This amendment clarifies how the principles that determine whether a hedged risk or portion of cash flows is eligible for designation should be applied in particular situations. This amendment is not applicable to the Group as the hedge accounting already applied by the Group does not fall into the cases of this amendment.

IFRIC 12 – Service Concession Arrangements

(EU endorsed for periods beginning 30 March 2009)

This interpretation applies to companies that participate in service concession arrangements. This interpretation is not relevant to the Group's operations

IFRIC 15 - Agreements for the construction of real estate

(EU endorsed for use from 1 January 2010)

This interpretation addresses the diversity in accounting for real estate sales. Some entities recognise revenue in accordance with IAS 18 (i.e. when the risks and rewards in the real estate are transferred) and others recognise revenue as the real estate is developed in accordance with IAS 11. The interpretation clarifies which standard should be applied to particular. This interpretation is not relevant to the Group's operations.

IFRIC 16 - Hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation

(EU endorsed for use from 1 July 2009)

This interpretation applies to an entity that hedges the foreign currency risk arising from its net investments in foreign operations and qualifies for hedge accounting in accordance with IAS 39. The interpretation provides guidance on how an entity should determine the amounts to be reclassified from equity to profit or loss for both the hedging instrument and the hedged item. This interpretation is not relevant to the Group, as the Group does not apply hedge accounting for any investment in a foreign operation.

IFRIC 17 "Distributions of non-cash assets to owners"

(EU endorsed for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009)

This interpretation provides guidance on accounting for the following types of nonreciprocal distributions of assets by an entity to its owners acting in their capacity as owners: (a) distributions of non-cash assets and (b) distributions that give owners a choice of receiving either non-cash assets or a cash alternative. This interpretation does not have an impact on the Group's financial statements.

IFRIC 18 "Transfers of assets from customers"

(EU endorsed for annual periods beginning on or after 1 November 2009)

This interpretation clarifies the requirements of IFRSs for agreements in which an entity receives from a customer an item of property, plant and equipment that the entity must then use to provide the customer with an ongoing supply of goods or services. In some cases, the entity receives cash from a customer which must be used only to acquire or construct the item of property, plant and equipment. This interpretation is not relevant to the Group.

Amendments to standards that form part of the IASB's 2009 annual improvements project

The amendments set out below describe the key changes to IFRSs following the publication in April 2009 of the results of the IASB's annual improvements project. The following amendments are effective for the current financial year. In addition, unless otherwise stated, the following amendments do not have a material impact on the Group's financial statements.

IFRS 2 "Share-Based payment"

The amendment confirms that contributions of a business on formation of a joint venture and common control transactions are excluded from the scope of IFRS 2.

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

The amendment clarifies disclosures required in respect of non-current assets classified as held for sale or discontinued operations.

IFRS 8 "Operating Segments"

The amendment provides clarifications on the disclosure of information about segment assets.

IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements"

The amendment provides clarification that the potential settlement of a liability by the issue of equity is not relevant to its classification as current or non-current.

IAS 7 "Statement of Cash Flows"

The amendment requires that only expenditures that result in a recognized asset in the statement of financial position can be classified as investing activities.

IAS 17 "Leases"

The amendment provides clarification as to the classification of leases of land and buildings as either finance or operating.

IAS 18 "Revenue"

The amendment provides additional guidance regarding the determination as to whether an entity is acting as a principal or an agent.

IAS 36 "Impairment of Assets"

The amendment clarifies that the largest cash-generating unit to which goodwill should be allocated for the purposes of impairment testing is an operating segment as defined by paragraph 5 of IFRS 8 (that is before the aggregation of segments).

IAS 38 "Intangible Assets"

The amendments clarify (a) the requirements under IFRS 3 (revised) regarding accounting for intangible assets acquired in a business combination and (b) the description of valuation techniques commonly used by entities when measuring the fair value of intangible assets acquired in a business combination that are not traded in active markets.

IAS 39 "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement"

The amendments relate to (a) clarification on treating loan pre-payment penalties as closely related derivatives, (b) the scope exemption for business combination contracts and (c) clarification that gains or losses on cash flow hedge of a forecast transaction should be reclassified from equity to profit or loss in the period in which the hedged forecast cash flow affects profit or loss.

IFRIC 9 "Reassessment of Embedded Derivatives"

The amendment clarifies that IFRIC 9 does not apply to possible reassessment, at the date of acquisition, to embedded derivatives in contracts acquired in a business combination between entities under common control.

IFRIC 16 "Hedges of a Net Investment in a Foreign Operation"

The amendment states that, in a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation, qualifying hedging instruments may be held by any entity within the group, including the foreign operation itself, as long as certain requirements are satisfied.

Standards and Interpretations effective from 1 January 2011

IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments"

(effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013)

IFRS 9 is the first part of Phase 1 of the Board's project to replace IAS 39. The IASB intends to expand IFRS 9 during 2010 to add new requirements for classifying and measuring financial liabilities, derecognition of financial instruments, impairment, and hedge accounting. IFRS 9 states that financial assets are initially measured at fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, particular transaction costs. Subsequently financial assets are measured at amortised cost or fair value and depend on the basis of the entity's business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.

IFRS 9 prohibits reclassifications except in rare circumstances when the entity's business model changes; in this case, the entity is required to reclassify affected financial assets prospectively. IFRS 9 classification principles indicate that all equity investments should be measured at fair value. However, management has an option to present in other comprehensive income unrealised and realised fair value gains and losses on equity investments that are not held for trading. Such designation is available on initial recognition on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable. There is no subsequent recycling of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss; however, dividends from such investments will continue to be recognised in profit or loss. IFRS 9 removes the cost exemption for unquoted equities and derivatives on unquoted equities but provides guidance on when cost may be an appropriate estimate of fair value. The Group is currently investigating the impact of IFRS 9 on its financial statements. The Group cannot currently early adopt IFRS 9 as it has not been endorsed by the EU. Only once approved will the Group decide if IFRS 9 will be adopted prior to 1 January 2013.

IAS 12 (Amendment) "Income Taxes"

(effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012)

The amendment to IAS 12 provides a practical approach for measuring deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets when investment property is measured using the fair value model in IAS 40 "Investment Property". Under IAS 12, the measurement of deferred tax depends on whether an entity expects to recover an asset through use or through sale. However, it is often difficult and subjective to determine the expected manner of recovery with respect to investment property measured at fair value in terms of IAS 40. To provide a practical approach in such cases, the amendments introduce a presumption that an investment property is recovered entirely through sale. This presumption is rebutted if the investment property is depreciable and is held within a business model whose objective is to consume substantially all of the economic benefits embodied in the investment property over time, rather than through sale. The presumption cannot be rebutted for freehold land that is an investment property, because land can only be recovered through sale. This amendment has not yet been endorsed by the EU.

IAS 24 (Amendment) "Related Party Disclosures"

(effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011)

This amendment attempts to relax disclosures of transactions between governmentrelated entities and clarify related-party definition. More specifically, it removes the requirement for government-related entities to disclose details of all transactions with the government and other government-related entities, clarifies and simplifies the definition of a related party and requires the disclosure not only of the relationships, transactions and outstanding balances between related parties, but of commitments as well in both the consolidated and the individual financial statements. The Group will apply these changes from their effective date.

IAS 32 (Amendment) "Financial Instruments: Presentation"

(effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 February 2010)

This amendment clarifies how certain rights issues should be classified. In particular, based on this amendment, rights, options or warrants to acquire a fixed number of the entity's own equity instruments for a fixed amount of any currency are equity instruments if the entity offers the rights, options or warrants pro rata to all of its existing owners of the same class of its own non-derivative equity instruments. This amendment is not expected to impact the Group's financial statements.

IFRS 7 (Amendment) "Financial Instruments: Disclosures" – transfers of financial assets

(effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011)

This amendment sets out disclosure requirements for transferred financial assets not derecognised in their entirety as well as on transferred financial assets derecognised in their entirety but in which the reporting entity has continuing involvement. It also provides guidance on applying the disclosure requirements. This amendment has not yet been endorsed by the EU.

IFRIC 19 "Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments"

(effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2010)

This interpretation addresses the accounting by the entity that issues equity instruments to a creditor in order to settle, in full or in part, a financial liability. This interpretation is not relevant to the Group.

IFRIC 14 (Amendment) "The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction"

(effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011)

The amendments apply in limited circumstances: when an entity is subject to minimum funding requirements and makes an early payment of contributions to cover those requirements. The amendments permit such an entity to treat the benefit of such an early payment as an asset. This interpretation is not relevant to the Group. This amendment has not yet been endorsed by the EU.

Amendments to standards that form part of the IASB's 2010 annual improvements project

The amendments set out below describe the key changes to IFRSs following the publication in May 2010 of the results of the IASB's annual improvements project. Unless otherwise stated the following amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011. In addition, unless otherwise stated, the following amendments will not have a material impact on the Group's financial statements. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU.

IFRS 3 "Business Combinations"

The amendments provide additional guidance with respect to: (i) contingent consideration arrangements arising from business combinations with acquisition dates preceding the application of IFRS 3 (2008); (ii) measuring non-controlling interests; and (iii) accounting for share-based payment transactions that are part of a business combination, including un-replaced and voluntarily replaced share-based payment awards.

IFRS 7 "Financial Instruments: Disclosures"

The amendments include multiple clarifications related to the disclosure of financial instruments.

IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements"

The amendment clarifies that entities may present an analysis of the components of other comprehensive income either in the statement of changes in equity or within the notes.

IAS 27 "Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements"

The amendment clarifies that the consequential amendments to IAS 21, IAS 28 and IAS 31 resulting from the 2008 revisions to IAS 27 are to be applied prospectively.

IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting"

The amendment places greater emphasis on the disclosure principles that should be applied with respect to significant events and transactions, including changes to fair value measurements, and the need to update relevant information from the most recent annual report.

IFRIC 13 "Customer Loyalty Programmes"

The amendment clarifies the meaning of the term 'fair value' in the context of measuring award credits under customer loyalty programmes.

2.24 Reclassifications of amounts

Amounts on the financial statements of the previous periods have been reclassified so as to be comparable with those of the current period. These reclassifications had no effect on Net Profit attributable to the shareholders of the Company, on Net Profit attributable to minorities, on EBITDA, and on assets, liabilities and equity (see Note 27 & 30).

3 Financial risk management

3.1 Financial risk factors

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (price risk and currency risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow interest rate risk.

The Group's overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group's financial performance.

Risk management is carried out by a central treasury department (Group Treasury) under policies approved by the Board of Directors. Group Treasury identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close co-operation with the Group's operating units. The Board provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as written policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments, and investment of excess liquidity.

The Group Treasury does not perform speculative transactions or transactions that are not related to the Group's operations.

The Company's and the Group's financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, bank overdrafts, trade accounts receivable and payable, loans to and from subsidiaries, equity investments, dividends payable and leases obligations.

The Group's overall risk management program focuses on the natural hedging in order to minimize the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Group's financial performance.

In addition the Group and the Company entered into derivative financial instruments contracts designated as cash flow hedging in order to hedge certain risks.

a) Market Risk

i) Foreign exchange risk

The Group/Company operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the US dollar, Nigerian Naira, South African Rand, Indian Rupee, Norwegian Crone, Swedish Crone and the Russian rouble, Chinese Yuan.

Entities in the Group use natural heading, transacted with the Group Treasury, to hedge their exposure to foreign currency risk in connection with the presentation currency.

The Group has certain investments in subsidiaries that operate in foreign countries, whose net positions are exposed to foreign exchange risk during the consolidation of their financial statements to the Group's financial statements. The Group is not substantially exposed to this type of risk since most of its subsidiaries use Euro as their functional currency with the exception of the subsidiaries in Nigeria, Romania, Indonesia, Kenya, Poland and China.

At 31 December 2010,

if the Euro had weakened by 5% against the dollar, the Nigerian, the Romanian, the Polish and the Chinese currencies with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit for the year would have been Euro 1,022 thousand higher (2009: Euro 657 thousand). Equity would have been Euro 9,277 thousand higher (2009: Euro 6,037 thousand).

At 31 December 2010,

if the Euro had strengthened by 5% against the dollar, the Nigerian, the Romanian, the Polish and the Chinese currencies with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit for the year would have been Euro 1,022 thousand lower (2009: Euro 657 thousand). Equity would have been Euro 9,277 thousand lower (2009: Euro 6,037 thousand).

ii) Price risk

The Group is not exposed to risks from changes in the prices of equity securities since it does not own securities that can be characterised either as available for sale assets or financial assets recorded at fair value in the financial statements.

The Group is exposed to changes in the prices of raw materials. This risk is offset by increased productivity, by increased sales volume resulting in fixed cost allocation over greater production volume, as well as by absorption of the change in cost into the final price of the product.

In addition, at the second quarter of 2009 the Group has entered into commodities derivatives financial instruments in order to hedge its exposure from changes in the prices of raw materials for purchases that will take place in 2010 and onwards.

b) Credit risk

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents as well as credit exposures to customers, including outstanding receivables and committed transactions.

For banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties with high quality credit credentials are accepted.

For customers, the Group/Company has policies in place to ensure that sales of products and services are made to customers with an appropriate credit history. Trade accounts receivable consist mainly of a large, widespread customer base. All Group companies monitor the financial position of their debtors on an ongoing basis.

Where necessary, credit guarantee insurance cover is purchased. The granting of credit is controlled by credit limits and application of certain terms. Appropriate provision for impairment losses is made for specific credit risks. At the year-end management considered that there was no material credit risk exposure that had not already been covered by credit guarantee insurance or a doubtful debt provision. The Group and the Company do not use derivative financial products.

The Group and the Company have a significant concentration of credit risk exposures regarding cash and cash equivalent balance and revenues from the sale of products and merchandise.

No credit limits were exceeded during the reporting period, and management does not expect any losses from non-performance by these counterparties.

c) Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to close out adverse market positions.

Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, Group treasury aims at maintaining flexibility in funding by maintaining committed (exclusive) credit lines.

The Group manages liquidity risk by proper management of working capital and cash flows. It monitors forecasted cash flows and ensures that adequate banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities are maintained. The Group has sufficient undrawn call/demand borrowing facilities that could be utilised to fund any potential shortfall in cash resources.

d) Interest-rate risk

The Group's/Company's income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates since the Group does not hold any interest bearing assets other than short-term time deposits. Exposure to interest rate risk on liabilities is limited to cash flow risk from changes in floating rates.

The Group continuously reviews interest rate trends and the tenure of financing needs. Consequently, all short, medium and long term borrowings are entered into at floating rates with re-evaluation dates in less than 6 months.

In addition, at the fourth quarter of 2009 the Group has entered into Interest Rate Swaps derivatives financial instruments in order to hedge its exposure from changes in the interest rates.

3.2 Capital risk management

The Group's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the group's ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or raise debt.

3.3 Fair value estimation

The nominal value less impairment provision of trade receivables is assumed to approximate their fair values. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Group for similar financial instruments.

The fair value of investments in subsidiaries is test for impairment when indications exist that these investments may be impaired. The fair value is determined by using discounted cash flow techniques and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each balance sheet date.

Other than trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, and investments in subsidiaries the Group does not have any other financial assets that subject to fair value estimation.

4. Critical accounting estimates and judgements

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under current circumstances.

4.1 Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. Except for the usual provisions that the Group raises (Note 31), the estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year concern income tax and goodwill.

4.1.1 Income Taxes

The Group is subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. Significant judgement is required by the Group Management in determining the worldwide provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. If the final tax outcome is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax.

4.1.2 Estimated impairment of goodwill

The Group tests annually whether goodwill has suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy stated in Note 2.6.1. The recoverable amounts of cashgenerating units have been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations require the use of estimates (see Note7).

4.2 Critical judgements in applying the entity's accounting policies

There are no areas that Management required to make critical judgements in applying accounting policies.

Note 5 - Segment Information

A business segment is a group of assets and operations engaged in providing products or services that are subject to risks and returns that are different from those of other business segments. Taking into account the above, the categorization of the Group's operations in business segments is the following:

  • Ice Cold Merchandise ( ICM ) Operations
  • Glass Operations

At the beginning of 2010 the segment of Nigeria has been renamed to Glass Operations segment, while the Plastics Operations segments has been incorporated to the segment of ICM.

Goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. At each balance sheet date the Group performs an analysis to assess whether the carrying amount of goodwill is recoverable. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is performed on the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the acquisition from which goodwill was derived.

For the existing goodwill which resulted from the business combination of SFA (Istanbul, Turkey), Frigoglass North America Ltd. Co and Baffington Road LLC (South Carolina, America ) and has been allocated to the cash generating units related to the Group's operations in Turkey and America and the respective subsidiaries.

The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units have been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations are based on cash flow projections, which require the use of estimates approved by Management and covering a five year period.

The key assumptions used for the Value-in-use calculation are as follows: Discount rate (pre-tax): 14%, Gross margins: 10%-20% , Perpetuity growth rate: 2%

As at 31 December 2010, if any of the assumptions used were 10% lower or higher, the Group would not need to reduce the carrying value of goodwill.

The extent of the Group's and Parent company's exposure to fluctuations in interest rate due to market or contractual changes is considered to be less than six months.

In addition, at the 4th quarther of 2009 the Group has entered into Interest rate swaps derivatives financial instruments in order to hedge its exposure of interest changes.

The fair value of current and non current borrowings closely approximates their carrying value, since the company borrows at floating interest rates, which are renegotiated in periods shorter than six months.

The total value of pledged assets for the Group as at 31/12/2010 was € 2.9 mil and (31/12/2009: € nil).

There are no pledged assets for the Parent Company as at 31/12/2010 and 31/12/2009.

On 15/06/2009 the Group issued a € 75 million bond loan, in order to refinance its bank borrowings. There are no encumbrances or pledges over the Parent Company's or the Group's assets. However the Group is required to comply with covenants relating to the sufficiency of solvency, profitability and liquidity ratios as described below:

a) Net debt to total equity

b) Net debt to earnings before interest tax depreciation and amortization (EBITDA)

c) EBITDA to net interest expense

A statutory reserve is created under the provisions of Hellenic law (Law 2190/20) according to which, an amount of at least 5% of the profit (after tax) for the year must be transferred to this reserve until it reaches one third of the paid up share capital. The statutory reserve can not be distributed to the shareholders of the Company except for the case of liquidation.

The share option reserve refers to a share option program with beneficiaries the Company's BoD and employees and is analysed in Note 15 of the annual financial statements.

The Company has created tax free reserves, taking advances off various Hellenic Taxation laws, during the years, in order to achieve tax deductions, either a) by postponing the tax liability till the reserves are distributed to the shareholders, or b) by eliminating any future income tax payment by issuing new shares for the shareholders of the company. Should the reserves be distributed to the shareholders as dividends, the distributed profits will be taxed with the rate that will be in effect at the time of the profits distributions. No provision has been created in regard to the possible income tax liability in the case of such a future distribution of the reserves the shareholders of the company as such liabilities are recognized simultaneously with the dividends distribution.

Note 21 - Earnings per share

Basic & Diluted earnings per share

Basic and Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing the profit attributable to shareholders, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year, excluding ordinary shares purchased by the company (treasury shares).

The diluted earnings per share are calculated adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. The Company has one category of dilutive potential ordinary shares: share options. For the share options a calculation is done to determine the number of shares that could have been acquired at fair value (determined as the average annual market share price of the Company's shares) based on the monetary value of the subscription rights attached to outstanding share options. The number of shares calculated as above is compared with the number of shares that would have been issued assuming the exercise of the share options. The difference is added to the denominator as an issue of ordinary shares for no consideration. No adjustment is made to net profit (numerator).

Trading derivatives are classified as a current asset or liability. The full fair value of a hedging derivative is classified as a non-current asset or liability if the remaining maturity of the hedged item is more than 12 months and, as a current asset or liability, if the maturity of the hedged item is less than 12 months.

For 2010, there was no ineffective portion arising from cash flow hedges.

Gains and losses relating to the effective portion of the hedge are recognised in the hedging reserve in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Subsequently these amounts are recognised in the income statement in the period or periods during which the hedged forecast transaction affects the income statement unless the gain or loss is included in the initial amount recognised for the purchase of inventory or fixed assets. These amounts are ultimately recognised in cost of goods sold in case of inventory or in depreciation in the case of fixed assets.

In terms of an amendment to IFRS 7, for 2010, the Company and the Group must disclose the basis of determining the fair value of financial instruments that are presented in the Balance Sheet. The only financial instruments at fair value presented in the balance sheet are the derivative financial instruments that are detailed in the tables above. These derivative financial instruments are measured in terms of the "Level 2" fair value hierarchy, that is described in IFRS 7. The "Level 2" fair value hierarchy refers to fair value measurements that are based on inputs that are directly or indirectly observed in an active market.

Note 30 - Reclassifications of the Income Statement

Amounts in the financial statements of the previous periods have been reclassified so as to be comparable with those of the current period. The reclassifications have no effect on the Net Profit attributable to the Company shareholders, on the Net Profit attributable to the Minorities, on the EBITDA, on the Assets and Liabilities of the Company. The reclassification was made in order for the expenses to be depicted according to the function they relate to with the scope of a proper presentation to the shareholders.
