In the Managed Security Services (MSS) domain, Neutrify, our brand for Security Operations Centre (SOC) services, has been uplifted integrating new tools and services like Security Orchestration, Automation and Response (SOAR) to make the offering more attractive to the customers (25% customer increase) and in parallel more effective in cyber security operations. The use of vendor agnostic Managed Detection & Response (MDR) capability allowed the delivery of a holistic cyber defence service to our customers and enabled faster incident detection and response. Moreover, this same service has been designed for providing MDR Service to the Hospitality Sector (4* & 5* Hotels). Last but not least, Angel, the maritime cybersecurity service, delivered in partnership with Navarino, has increased the number of vessels monitored to 900+.

In the Security Assessment Services (SAS) domain, the Red Teaming and Penetration Testing services have reached a new high in terms of maturity and quality of delivery making use of the Hackcraft brand name offering services both in Greece and Cyprus.

FSO Business Unit

In response to the escalating demand driven by heightened digitalization requirements, Neurosoft witnessed a surge in rollout visits throughout 2023. With businesses and organizations rapidly embracing digital transformation to adapt to evolving market dynamics, Neurosoft remained at the forefront, delivering tailored solutions to support their transition. These rollout visits played a crucial role in facilitating the seamless integration of cutting-edge technologies, ensuring that clients could effectively harness the power of digitalization to drive innovation and enhance operational efficiency. As the pace of digitalization continues unabated, Neurosoft remains poised to meet the growing demand for its expertise, reaffirming its commitment to delivering impactful solutions that empower clients to thrive in an increasingly digitized world.

In the realm of Fiber to the Home (FTTH), 2023 marked a significant milestone for Neurosoft. With the accelerating demand for high-speed internet connectivity driven by the shifting landscape of remote work and digitalization, Neurosoft intensified its focus on deploying robust FTTH solutions tailored to meet the evolving needs of residential customers. Leveraging cutting-edge technology and strategic partnerships, Neurosoft spearheaded initiatives aimed at expanding access to ultra-fast broadband services directly to households. As the demand for FTTH services continues to surge, Neurosoft remains committed to fostering collaboration within the telecommunications industry, paving the way for a future where seamless connectivity is accessible to all.

ICO Business Unit

Enterprise Link (EL) is Neurosoft first Offering attempt in utilizing its strategy towards the modern Infrastructure.as-a-Service (IaaS) business paradigm. EL is targeted at multi-site Enterprise customers and is irrespective of the Network Access technology and Service Provider. The services prescribed under EL include the Solution Design, Implementation and Operations services including the actual equipment and licenses required all under a common monthly fee. EL is provided in cooperation with Telecom Italia Sparkle. During 2023 we modernized our Monitoring and Reporting activities and set sail to overcome the 5,000 devices milestone.

In parallel to the IaaS business model, the Company continued pursuing traditional ICT Systems Integration projects for Networking and Cloud infrastructure following the quick pace of technological enhancement governed by the post-COVID workforce requirements and corporate digital transformation trends. The main effort during 2023 in the offering development was around Software Defined networking, SASE and AI.

Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a modern architecture in the network space where configuration and management of network elements is performed from a centralized platform. There are numerous implementations from all the major networking equipment manufacturers and our R&D team performed rigorous testes to choose the best of breed solution for our Customers. Automation and Programmability are the immediate steps for the future.

Following our significant knowhow and experience gained through EL operations activities in Software Defined Wide Area Networking (SD-WAN), the global trends for the application access and security requirements from the exploding mobility of the workforce, have given rise to the SASE cloud security framework. Although the high-level architecture is the same among the various vendors, the actual implementation characteristics coupled with existing technologies among our existing and potential Customers, have fueled our offering and engineering teams to test many implementation scenarios from different vendors aiming to further enrich our solution portfolio not only with a new technology but potentially with a new Solution Provider.

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning concepts could certainly not be overlooked. The business benefits of employing AI in modern network monitoring and operations activities was another field that our internal teams focused in order to complement our existing MISP portfolio looking further away in the future.

3. Quality Assurance

SECTION B

Principal risks and uncertainties

The Company operates within a fiercely competitive global landscape that is constantly evolving. In recent years, the company has focused on expanding its presence in key geographical regions, prioritizing the continual improvement of products and solutions. Simultaneously, it is actively innovating new offerings and pursuing entry into emerging markets to bolster its competitive edge and solidify its position.

The Group is exposed to a variety of financial risks, such as market risks (foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, etc.), credit risk and liquidity risk.

1. Currency risk

Currency risk is the risk that the fair values of the cash flows of a financial instrument fluctuate due to foreign currency changes. The Group operates in Greece and Cyprus and the vast majority of its income, transactions, supplier agreements and costs are denominated or based in euro. However, the Company's Management continuously monitors the foreign exchange risks that may arise and evaluates the need for such measures.

2. Interest rate risk

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk through the impact of rate changes on interest-bearing liabilities and assets. Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will impact cash flows arising from variable rate financial instruments. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial asset or liability will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group's exposure to the risk of changes in interest rates. The Group's main exposure to interest rate risk arises from the Group's bank borrowings, which are at floating rates. Company's Management monitors fluctuations in interest rates on a continuous basis and evaluates the need for taking positions to hedge against such risks. At 31 December 2023, if interest rates on Euro denominated borrowings had been 1,0% higher with all other variables held constant, pre-tax loss for the year would have been €2,558 higher, excluding any positive impact of interest income on deposits.

3. Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a counterparty fails to meet its contractual obligations. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables. For banks and financial institutions only well established with good reputation parties are accepted and the Company set limits to the degree of exposure for each financial institution. The Management of the Group ensures that sales are addressed to customers with high credit reliability and ability regularly evaluates the creditworthiness of customers and counterparties to mitigate this risk. Therefore, the Group continuously develops and further evolves its internal risk management mechanisms to fully confront this risk.

4. Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group or the Company will not be able to meet their financial obligations as they fall due. Liquidity risk is kept at low levels by ensuring that there is sufficient cash on demand and / or credit facilities to meet the financial obligations falling due in the next 12 months. The Group has sufficient undrawn borrowing facilities that can be utilized to fund any potential shortfall in cash resources. For the monitoring of the liquidity risk, the Group prepares cash flows forecasts on a frequent basis to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet its needs.

5. Capital management

The primary objective of the Group's and Company's capital management is to ensure that it maintains a strong credit rating and healthy capital ratio in order to support its business plans and maximize shareholder

value. An important means of managing capital is the use of the gearing ratio (ratio of net debt to equity). Net debt includes interest bearing borrowings, as well as long-term and short-term lease liabilities less cash and cash equivalents.

GROUP COMPANY
31.12.2023 31.12.2022 31.12.2023 31.12.2022
Long-term borrowings 114,527 206,149 114,527 206,149

Net debt to equity 0.25 (0.54) 0.25 (0.49)

6. Climate change risk

The Group is conscious of global climate change and environmental issues and acknowledges the increasing importance of climate change as a significant risk factor that may impact its operations, financial performance, and long-term sustainability. Climate risks pose operational challenges, including increased energy costs, energy and fuel price volatility, energy supply interruptions, non-compliance with relevant environmental legislation and regulations, and potential damage to our facilities due to extreme weather incidents, resulting in possible reputational issues and potential operational disruptions. However, in our effort to contribute to the mitigation of such issues and we systematically work towards minimizing our potential negative impact. We comply with current environmental legislation and relevant provisions and through our relevant management systems (ISO14001), we are committed to conducting business in an environmentally responsible way, acknowledging that the protection of the environment, energy saving and the conservation of natural resources are integral parts of responsible and sustainable business development.

7. Risk related to political and economic conditions, as well as market conditions and developments in Greece

In 2023, the Greek economy experienced ongoing expansion, fueled by increased investment levels and robust private consumption. This trend is expected to persist in 2024, with growth surpassing long-term potential, supported by favorable external conditions. Prudent fiscal policies and a thriving tourism sector were key drivers of growth in 2023, and these factors are anticipated to sustain positive momentum into 2024. The potential for central banks to implement interest rate cuts may further bolster the outlook for the year, facilitated by the normalization of energy prices and a continued deceleration in inflation. However, it's important to note that prolonged geopolitical tensions could pose a downside risk to projected growth.

Independent auditor's report

To the Shareholders of NEUROSOFT SOFTWARE PRODUCTION S.A.

Report on the audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements

Our opinion

We have audited the accompanying separate and consolidated financial statements of NEUROSOFT SOFTWARE PRODUCTION S.A. (Company and Group) which comprise the separate and consolidated statement of financial position as of 31 December 2023, the separate and consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flow statements for the year then ended, and notes to the separate and consolidated financial statements, comprising material accounting policy information.

In our opinion, the separate and consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects the separate and consolidated financial position of the Company and the Group as at 31 December 2023, their separate and consolidated financial performance and their separate and consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the European Union and comply with the statutory requirements of Law 4548/2018.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs), as they have been transposed into Greek Law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements section of our report.

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

Independence

During our audit we remained independent of the Company and the Group in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) that has been transposed into Greek Law, and the ethical requirements of Law 4449/2017, that are relevant to the audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements in Greece. We have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with Law 4449/2017, and the requirements of the IESBA Code.

Other Information

The members of the Board of Directors are responsible for the Other Information. The Other Information is the Board of Directors Report (but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon), which we obtained prior to the date of this auditor's report.

Our opinion on the separate and consolidated financial statements does not cover the Other Information and except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in this section of our Report, we do not express an audit opinion or other form of assurance thereon.

In connection with our audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the Other Information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the Other Information is materially inconsistent with the separate and consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

With respect to the Board of Directors Report, we considered whether the Board of Directors Report includes the disclosures required by Law 4548/2018.

Based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit, in our opinion:

  • The information given in the the Board of Directors' Report for the year ended at 31 December 2023 is consistent with the separate and consolidated financial statements,
  • The Board of Directors' Report has been prepared in accordance with the legal requirements of articles 150 and 153 of Law 4548/2018.

In addition, in light of the knowledge and understanding of the Company and Group and their environment obtained in the course of the audit, we are required to report if we have identified material misstatements in the Board of Directors' Report. We have nothing to report in this respect.

Responsibilities of Board of Directors and those charged with governance for the separate and consolidated financial statements

The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the separate and consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the European Union and comply with the requirements of Law 4548/2018, and for such internal control as the Board of Directors determines is necessary to enable the preparation of separate and consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the separate and consolidated financial statements, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Company's and Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company and Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's and Group's financial reporting process.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the separate and consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs, as they have been transposed into Greek Law, will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these separate and consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, as they have been transposed into Greek Law, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the separate and consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's and Group's internal control.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Board of Directors.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of Board of Directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's and Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the separate and consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company and Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the separate and consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the separate and consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the separate and consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Company and Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

Report on other legal and regulatory requirements

With respect to the Board of Directors Report, the procedures we performed are described in the "Other Information" section of our report.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these separate and consolidated Financial Statements are presented below. These policies have been applied consistently for all the financial years presented, except if stated otherwise.

These separate and consolidated financial statements have been prepared accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) as adopted by the European Union and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), applicable to companies reporting under IFRS and are effective as of 1 January 2023.

The separate and consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost and the going concern basis of accounting.

The preparation of the Financial Statements requires the use of accounting estimates and judgements. Although these estimates and judgements are based on Management's best knowledge of current events and actions, as well as historical experience, actual events may ultimately differ from those estimates. 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 Νote 4.

2.2 New Standards, amendments to standards and interpretations

Certain new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been issued that are mandatory for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023. 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

The following standards and interpretations were mandatory for current financial period. To the extent that these were applicable to the Group, they did not have a significant effect on its financial statements.

IFRS 17 'Insurance contracts' and Amendments to IFRS 17 (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023)

IFRS 17 has been issued in May 2017 and, along with the Amendments to IFRS 17 issued in June 2020, supersedes IFRS 4. IFRS 17 establishes principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of insurance contracts within the scope of the Standard and its objective is to ensure that an entity provides relevant information that faithfully represents those contracts. The new standard solves the comparison problems created by IFRS 4 by requiring all insurance contracts to be accounted for in a consistent manner. Insurance obligations will be accounted for using current values instead of historical cost.

IAS 1 (Amendments) 'Presentation of Financial Statements' and IFRS Practice Statement 2 'Disclosure of Accounting policies' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023)

The amendments require companies to disclose their material accounting policy information and provide guidance on how to apply the concept of materiality to accounting policy disclosures.

IAS 8 (Amendments) 'Accounting policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors: Definition of Accounting Estimates' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023)

The amendments clarify how companies should distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates.

IΑS 12 (Amendments) 'Deferred tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023)

The amendments require companies to recognise deferred tax on transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal amounts of taxable and deductible temporary differences. This will typically apply to transactions such as leases for the lessee and decommissioning obligations.

IFRS 17 (Amendment) 'Initial Application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 – Comparative Information' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023)

The amendment is a transition option relating to comparative information about financial assets presented on initial application of IFRS 17. The amendment is aimed at helping entities to avoid temporary accounting

mismatches between financial assets and insurance contract liabilities, and therefore improve the usefulness of comparative information for users of financial statements.

IAS 12 'Income taxes' (Amendments): International Tax Reform – Pillar Two Model Rules (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023)

The amendments introduce a mandatory temporary exception from accounting for deferred taxes arising from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's (OECD) international tax reform. The amendments also introduce targeted disclosure requirements.

The temporary exception applies immediately and retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8, whereas the targeted disclosure requirements will be applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023.

Standards and Interpretations effective for subsequent periods

The following standards and interpretations are mandatory for subsequent periods. To the extent that these have been approved by the European Union and will apply to the Group, they are not expected to have a significant impact on its financial statements.

IAS 1 'Presentation of Financial Statements' (Amendments) (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024)

2020 Amendment 'Classification of liabilities as current or non-current'

The amendment clarifies that liabilities are classified as either current or non-current depending on the rights that exist at the end of the reporting period. Classification is unaffected by the expectations of the entity or events after the reporting date. The amendment also clarifies what IAS 1 means when it refers to the 'settlement' of a liability.

2022 Amendments 'Non-current liabilities with covenants'

The new amendments clarify that if the right to defer settlement is subject to the entity complying with specified conditions (covenants), this amendment will only apply to conditions that exist when compliance is measured on or before the reporting date. Additionally, the amendments aim to improve the information an entity provides when its right to defer settlement of a liability is subject to compliance with covenants within twelve months after the reporting period.

The 2022 amendments changed the effective date of the 2020 amendments. As a result, the 2020 and 2022 amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024 and should be applied retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8. As a result of aligning the effective dates, the 2022 amendments override the 2020 amendments when they both become effective in 2024.

IFRS 16 (Amendment) 'Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024)

The amendment clarifies how an entity accounts for a sale and leaseback after the date of the transaction. Sale and leaseback transactions where some or all the lease payments are variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate are most likely to be impacted. An entity applies the requirements retrospectively back to sale and leaseback transactions that were entered into after the date when the entity initially applied IFRS 16.

IAS 7 'Statement of Cash Flows' and IFRS 7 'Financial Instruments' (Amendments) - Disclosures: Supplier Finance Arrangements (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024)

The amendments require companies to disclose information about their Supplier Finance Arrangements such as terms and conditions, carrying amount of financial liabilities that are part of such arrangements, ranges of payment due dates and liquidity risk information. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU.

IAS 21 'The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates' (Amendments) - Lack of exchangeability (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2025)

These amendments require companies to apply a consistent approach in assessing whether a currency can be exchanged into another currency and, when it cannot, in determining the exchange rate to use and the disclosures to provide. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU.

IFRS 18 ''Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027)

IFRS 18 was issued in April 2024. It sets out requirements on presentation and disclosures in financial statements and replaces IAS 1. Its objective is to make it easier for investors to compare the performance and future prospects of entities by changing the requirements for presenting information in the primary financial statements, particularly the statement of profit or loss. The new standard:

● requires presentation of two new defined subtotals in the statement of profit or loss—operating profit and profit before financing and income taxes.

● requires disclosure of management-defined performance measures—subtotals of income and expenses not specified by IFRS that are used in public communications to communicate management's view of an aspect of a company's financial performance. To promote transparency, a company will be required to provide a reconciliation between these measures and totals or subtotals specified by IFRS.

● enhances the requirements for aggregation and disaggregation to help a company to provide useful information.

● requires limited changes to the statement of cash flows to improve comparability by specifying a consistent starting point for the indirect method of reporting cash flows from operating activities and eliminating options for the classification of interest and dividend cash flows.

The new standard has retrospective application. It has not yet been endorsed by the EU.

2.3 Basis of consolidation

(a) Subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements are comprised of the financial statements of the Company and all subsidiaries controlled by the Company directly or indirectly. Control exists when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and are deconsolidated from the date on which control ceases.

The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. For each business combination, the acquirer measures the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred.

When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquisition. If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date through profit or loss. Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognized in accordance with IFRS 9 either in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared as of the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. All intercompany balances, transactions and any intercompany profit or loss are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

(b) Changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries without loss of control

Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in change of control are accounted for as equity transactions. The difference between fair value of any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals to non-controlling interest are also recorded in equity.

(c) Disposal of / loss of control over subsidiary

When the Group disposes of or ceases to have control or any retained interest in the subsidiary it is remeasured to its fair value at the date of disposal or when control is lost, with the change in carrying amount recognized in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in respect of that subsidiary are reclassified to profit or loss.

2.4 Operating segments

Operating segments are determined based on the Group's business activities, in line with the review performed by the Group's Chief Operating Decision Makers. The reportable segments are determined using the quantitative thresholds required by IFRS 8. The accounting policies of the segments are the same with those followed for the preparation of the financial statements. The Group's key operating segments are disclosed in Note 5.

2.5 Foreign currency translation

(a) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the "functional currency"). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Euro, which is the Company's functional and presentation currency.

(b) Transactions and balances

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions during the fiscal year and from the translation of monetary items into foreign exchange at current rates applicable on the balance sheet date are recorded in the statement of comprehensive income under other income / (expenses).

(c) Group companies

The results and financial position of all group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

  • i) The assets and liabilities are converted using the rates in effect at the balance sheet date;
  • ii) The income and expenses are converted using the average rates of the period (except if the average rate is not the reasonable approach of the accumulated impact of the rates in effect at the dates of the transactions, in which case income and expenses are converted using the rates in effect at the dates of the transactions) and
  • iii) Any differences arising from this process are posted under other comprehensive income and are transferred to the statement of comprehensive income upon disposal of these companies.

Currency translation differences arising from the conversion of the net investment in a foreign company are posted under Other Comprehensive Income. Upon disposal of a foreign company in part or in whole, accumulated exchange differences are transferred to the statement of comprehensive income of the period as profit or loss resulting from the sale.

Gains and changes to fair value from the acquisition of foreign companies are deemed to be assets and liabilities of the foreign company and are measured at the currency rate applicable on the balance sheet date. The resulting foreign exchange differences are recorded in other comprehensive income.

2.6 Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are presented in the financial statements at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairments (Note 2.9). Acquisition cost consists of the purchase price, including any import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes, and any costs necessary to make the asset operational and ready for its intended use.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The repair and maintenance cost is presented as an expense in the profit and loss when incurred.

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful life as follows:

Classification Useful lives
- Buildings 10-12 years
- Machinery 5 years
- Motor Vehicles 6-7 years
- Furniture and other equipment 3-5 years

The residual values and useful lives property, plant and equipment are subject to review at each balance sheet date. When the carrying values of property, plant and equipment exceed their recoverable amount, the difference (impairment) is immediately recognized in the statement of comprehensive income as an expense (Note 2.9).

Assets up to a value of €1,500 fully depreciated during the year they are acquired.

Upon the sale of property, plant and equipment, any difference between the proceeds and their net book value is recorded as gain or loss in the statement of comprehensive income.

2.7 Leases

The Group and the Company as a lessee

The Group and the Company assess at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

The Group and the Company apply a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases (including short-term leases and leases of low-value assets). The Group and the Company recognize lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.

i) Right-of-use assets

The Group and the Company recognize right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful life of the assets. If ownership of the leased asset is transferred to the Group or the Company at the end of the lease term or its cost reflects the exercise of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset. The depreciation starts at the commencement date of the lease.

The right-of-use assets are presented as a separate line in the separate and consolidated statement of financial position.

The right-of-use assets are also subject to impairment, as described in Note 2.9.

Variable rents that do not depend on an index or rate are not included in the measurement of the lease liability and the right-of-use asset. The related payments are recognized as an expense in the statement of comprehensive income in the period in which the event or condition that triggers those payments occurs.

ii) Lease liabilities

At the commencement date of the lease, the Group and the Company recognize lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments that are not paid at that date. The lease payments will be discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined. Otherwise, the Group and the Company will use the incremental borrowing rate.

At the commencement date of the lease period, the lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following payments for the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term that are not paid at the commencement date of the lease period:

  • fixed lease payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives;
  • variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date;
  • the amount expected to be paid by the lessee under the residual value guarantees;
  • the exercise price of purchase options, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options; and
  • payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the exercise of an option to terminate the lease.

Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are not included in the measurement of the lease liability.

In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group and the Company use the incremental borrowing rate because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable.

The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability (using the effective interest method) and by reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made. The Group and the Company remeasure the lease liability (and makes a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use asset) whenever:

  • the lease term has changed or there is a change in the assessment of exercise of a purchase option, in which case the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate.
  • the lease payments change due to changes in an index or rate or a change in expected payment under a guaranteed residual value, in which cases the lease liability is measured by discounting the revised lease payments using the initial discount rate.
  • a lease contract is modified and the lease modification is not accounted for as a separate lease, in which case, the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate.

Lease liabilities are presented as a separate line in the separate and consolidated statement of financial position.

Interest on the lease liability is allocated during the lease term in such a manner so that the amount produces a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the lease liability.

After the commencement date of the lease period, the Group and the Company recognise in Statement of Total Comprehensive Income (unless the costs are included in the carrying amount of another asset applying other applicable Standards) both:

(a) interest on the lease liability; and

(b) variable lease payments not included in the measurement of the lease liability in the period in which the event or condition that triggers those payments occurs.

2.8 Intangible assets

Intangible assets include costs of purchased and internally generated software.

An intangible asset is initially recognized at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment loss, as described in Note 2.9.

Amortization is calculated based on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset.

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an acquired intangible asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset and is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.

Purchased intangible assets

Purchased intangible assets acquired separately are capitalised on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring the specific software into use, while those acquired from a business combination are capitalised at fair value on the date of acquisition.

Research and development costs

Research costs and costs associated with maintaining computer software are recognized as an expense as incurred. Development expenditure is mainly incurred for developing software. Costs incurred for the

development of an individual project are recognised as an intangible asset only when the following criteria IAS 38 "Intangible Assets" are met:

  • it is technically feasible to complete the software product so that it will be available for use;
  • management intends to complete the software product and use or sell it;
  • there is an ability to use or sell the software product;
  • it can be demonstrated how the software product will generate probable future economic benefits;
  • adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and use or sell the software product are available; and
  • the expenditure attributable to the software product during its development can be reliably measured.

Directly attributable costs that are capitalized as part of the internally generated software include costs such as payroll, materials and services used and any other expenditure directly incurred in developing computer software and in bringing the software into its intended use.

Following initial recognition, development expenditure is carried at cost until the asset is ready for its intended use at which time all costs incurred for that asset are transferred to intangible assets or machinery and are amortised over their average useful lives.

Intangible assets with finite useful lives are being amortised using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. The useful lives and residual values of intangible assets are reassessed on an annual basis. Amortisation periods for intangible assets with finite useful lives vary in accordance with the conditions in the relevant industries, but are subject to the following maximum limits:

Classification of Intangible asset Years
Software & Software development cost 5

2.9 Impairment of non-financial assets

Assets with an indefinite useful life, such as goodwill, are not amortized and are subject to impairment testing on an annual basis, or when certain events or changes to the circumstances suggest that their carrying value may not be recoverable. Assets that are depreciated are subject to impairment testing when indications exist that their book value is not recoverable. Impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset's carrying value exceeds its recoverable value. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value- in- use. Any non-financial assets, other than goodwill, which have been impaired in prior financial years, are reassessed for possible impairment reversal on each balance sheet date.

2.10 Financial instruments

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.

Financial assets

i) Initial recognition of financial assets

The Group and the Company classify its financial as financial assets measured at amortized cost.

The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the contractual cash flow of the financial assets and the business model within which the financial asset is held.

With the exception of trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Group and the Company has applied the practical expedient, the Group and the Company initially

measures a financial asset at its fair value plus transaction costs, in the case of a financial asset that is not measured at fair value through profit or loss. Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Group and the Company has applied the practical expedient are measured at the transaction price as determined by IFRS 15.

In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortised cost it needs to give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. This assessment is referred to as the 'solely payments of principal and interest' (SPPI) test and is performed at an instrument level.

The Group's business model for managing financial assets refers to how the Group manages its financial assets in order to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling the financial assets, or both.

Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset.

ii) Subsequent measurement of financial assets

Financial assets at amortised cost

The Group and the Company measures financial assets at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met:

  • ●The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and
  • ●The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest (EIR) method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised, modified or impaired.

The Group's and the Company's financial assets at amortised cost include trade and other receivables.

iii)Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised when:

  • The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; Or
  • The Group and the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a 'passthrough' arrangement; and either (a) the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

The Group and the Company transfers a financial asset if, and only if, it either:

  • transfers the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset; Or
  • retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients in an arrangement.

When the Group and the Company transfers a financial asset, it shall evaluate the extent to which retains the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset.

In this case:

  • if the Group and the Company transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the entity shall derecognise the financial asset and recognise separately as assets or liabilities any rights and obligations created or retained in the transfer.
  • if the Group and the Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the Group shall continue to recognise the financial asset.
  • if the Group and the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, shall determine whether it has retained control of the financial asset. In this case:

(i) if the Group and the Company has not retained control, it shall derecognise the financial asset and recognise separately as assets or liabilities any rights and obligations created or retained in the transfer.

(ii) if the Group and the Company has retained control, it shall continue to recognise the financial asset to the extent of its continuing involvement in the financial asset.

iv) Impairment of financial assets

The Group and the Company assess at each reporting date, whether a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired and recognize, if necessary, an allowance for Expected Credit Losses (ECLs) for all debt instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate.

ECLs are recognized in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12 months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL).

For trade receivables and contract assets the Group and the Company apply a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the Group and the Company do not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognize a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date.

To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due.

The expected credit loss in relation to contract assets, is measured based on the expected early contract termination rate, the penalty for early termination and its collectability rate.

For all other Group's and the Company's financial assets at amortized cost, the general approach is applied.

Financial liabilities

i) Initial recognition and subsequent measurement of financial liabilities

All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs. For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial liabilities are classified as financial liabilities at amortised cost.

ii) Derecognition of financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or

modification is treated as the de-recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statement of financial position only when the Group or the Company has a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and intends either to settle such asset and liability on a net basis or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the company or the counterparty.

2.11 Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined based on the yearly weighted average price. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less any selling expenses. Provision for slow moving or obsolete inventories is formed if deemed necessary.

2.12 Restricted cash

Restricted cash is cash not available for use. This cash cannot be used by the Company until a specific period of time passes or a specific event takes place in the future. In cases whereby restricted cash is expected to be used within a year from the balance sheet date, it is classified as current asset. If, however, the restricted cash is not expected to be used within a year from the balance sheet date, then it is classified as noncurrent asset.

2.13 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash, demand deposits and short-term investments of up to 3 months, with high liquidity and low risk.

2.14 Share capital and share premium

Share capital consists of the ordinary shares of the Company. Share capital is determined using the nominal value of shares that have been issued. Any excess of the fair value of the consideration received over the par value of the shares issued is recognized as share premium in shareholders' equity. Share capital issuance costs, net of related tax, are reflected as a deduction from share premium.

2.15 Borrowings

Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. After initial recognition are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income when the liabilities are derecognised, as well as, over the period of the borrowings through the effective interest rate amortisation process.

Borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they incur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.

2.16 Current and deferred income tax

Income tax for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

Current income tax is measured on the taxable income for the year using enacted or substantively enacted tax rates at the reporting date in the countries where the Group operates and generates taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred income taxes is provided on all temporary differences arising between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their tax bases.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences except:

  • ●where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill, of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss;
  • ●In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interest in joint ventures, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax losses, to the extent that is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax losses can be utilized except:

  • where the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary differences arises from the initial recognition of goodwill of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
  • in respect of temporary differences associated with investment in subsidiaries and associates, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realized or liability is settled based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized.

2.17 Employee benefits

(a) Post-employment benefits

The Group operates various post-employment schemes including both defined contribution and defined benefit plans. Payments are defined by the applicable local legislation and the fund's regulations.

Defined contribution plan

A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. The Group has no 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.

(All amounts in Euro, unless stated otherwise)

For defined contribution plans, the Group pays contributions to publicly administered pension insurance plans on a mandatory basis. The Group has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are recognized as employee benefit expense when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.

Defined benefit plans

Defined benefit plan is a pension plan which 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 recognized in the statement of financial position in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The liability of the defined benefit plan is calculated annually by an independent actuary with the use of the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension obligation.

The current service cost of the defined benefit plan which is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income in employee benefit expense reflects the increase in the defined benefit obligation resulting from employee service in the current year, benefit changes curtailments and settlements. Past-service costs are recognized immediately in the income statement.

The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets.

Actuarial gains or losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. Past-service costs are recognized immediately in the income statement.

(b) Employment termination benefits

Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated before the normal retirement date, or when an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Company recognizes termination benefits at the earlier of the following dates: (a) when the Company can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits; and (b) when the entity recognizes costs for a restructuring that is within the scope of IAS 37 and involves the payment of termination benefits. In the case of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy, the termination benefits are measured based on the number of employees expected to accept the offer. Termination benefits falling due more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period are discounted to their present value.

In case of termination of employment where the number of employees who will use such benefits cannot be determined, the benefits are disclosed as contingent liabilities and are not accounted for.

2.18 Provisions and contingencies

Provisions are recognized when the Group or the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are measured by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase of the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a borrowing cost. Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date, and if it is no longer probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation,

they are reversed. Provisions are used only for expenditures for which they were originally recognized. No provisions are recognized for future operating losses.

Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the financial statements but are disclosed, unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote. Contingent assets are not recognised in the financial statements but are disclosed when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.

2.19 Revenue recognition

(a) Revenue from contracts with customers

Revenue comprises the fair value of the sale of goods and services, net of value-added tax and discounts. Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when control of the goods or services is transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Control over goods sold and services rendered is transferred to the customer upon delivery of the respective products or service respectively. Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured.

Revenue is recognised as follows:

Provision of services

For provision of services, revenue is recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered, as the customer obtains control over the promised services, by reference to stage of completion of each specific performance obligation and assessed on the basis of the actual service provided as a proportion of the total services to be provided.

Sales of goods

Revenue is recognized when a contractual promise to a customer (performance obligation) is fulfilled by transferring the promised goods (which is when the customer obtains control over the promised goods).

Contract assets

When the Group performs by transferring goods or services to a customer before the customer pays consideration or before payment is due, the Group presents the contract as a contract asset, excluding any amounts presented as a receivable. A contract asset is the Group's right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that the entity has transferred to a customer.

Contract liabilities

When customer pays consideration, or the Group has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional, before the Group transfers a good or service to the customer, the Group presents the contract as a contract liability when the payment is made or the payment is due (whichever is earlier).

If customer pays consideration, or the entity has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional, before the entity transfers a good or service to the customer, the Company presents the contract as a contract liability when the payment is made, or the payment is due (whichever is earlier).

Incremental costs of obtaining a contract are expensed as incurred.

(b) Interest income

Interest income is recognised on an accrual basis using the effective interest method. In case of impairment of borrowings and receivables, interest income is recognized using the rate which discounts future flows for impairment purposes.

(All amounts in Euro, unless stated otherwise)

2.20 Earnings/(loss) per share

Basic earnings/(loss) per share are computed by dividing the profit/(loss) for the year attributable to the shareholders of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during each year.

Diluted earnings/(loss) per share are computed by dividing the profit/(loss) for the year attributable to shareholders of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during each year adjusted for the impact of share-based payments.

2.21 Dividend distribution

Dividend declared to the shareholders is recognised as a liability in the period they are approved by the General Assembly of the Company's shareholders.

2.22 Reclassifications

Reclassifications of items have been carried out in the comparative financial statements to ensure their comparability with the presentation of corresponding items in the financial statements of the current period.

These reclassifications had no impact on the net assets or income statement of the Company and the Group.

Specifically, the reclassifications carried out in the Group's & Company's financial statements are as follows:

  • An amount of €118,334 was reclassified from " Other current assets" to "Income tax liabilities"

3. Financial risk management

3.1 Financial risk factors

The Group is exposed to a variety of financial risks, such as market risks (foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, etc.), credit risk and liquidity risk. Financial risks are associated with the following financial instruments: trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, trade and other payables and borrowings.

(a) Market risk

i) Currency risk

Currency risk is the risk that the fair values of the cash flows of a financial instrument fluctuate due to foreign currency changes. The Group operates in Greece and Cyprus and the vast majority of its income, transactions, supplier agreements and costs are denominated or based in euro. However, the Company's Management continuously monitors the foreign exchange risks that may arise and evaluates the need for such measures.

ii) Interest rate risk

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk through the impact of rate changes on interest-bearing liabilities and assets. Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will impact cash flows arising from variable rate financial instruments. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial asset or liability will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group's exposure to the risk of changes in interest rates. The Group's main exposure to interest rate risk arises from the Group's bank borrowings, which are at floating rates. Company's Management monitors fluctuations in interest rates on a continuous basis and evaluates the need for taking positions to hedge against such risks. At 31 December 2023, if interest rates on Euro denominated borrowings had been 1,0% higher with all other variables held constant, pre-tax loss for the year would have been €2,558 higher, excluding any positive impact of interest income on deposits.

(b) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a counterparty fails to meet its contractual obligations. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables. For banks and financial institutions only well established with good reputation parties are accepted and the Company set limits to the degree of exposure for each financial institution. The Management of the Group ensures that sales are addressed to customers with high credit reliability and ability. Due to the expansion of the Company's activities abroad, this risk becomes real especially with respect to foreign customers from other countries for which the effective control of credibility is not always easy to be assessed. Therefore, the Group continuously develops and further evolves its internal risk management mechanisms to fully confront this risk.

(c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group or the Company will not be able to meet their financial obligations as they fall due. Liquidity risk is kept at low levels by ensuring that there is sufficient cash on demand and / or credit facilities to meet the financial obligations falling due in the next 12 months. The Group has sufficient undrawn borrowing facilities that can be utilized to fund any potential shortfall in cash resources. For the monitoring of the liquidity risk, the Group prepares cash flows forecasts on a frequent basis to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet its needs.

The table below analyzes the Group's and Company's financial liabilities as of 31 December 2023 and 2022 into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period from the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the undiscounted contractual cash flows.

1Other current liabilities do not correspond to the amount shown in the statement of financial position as they include only financial liabilities. They do not include advances from customers, contract liabilities and social security.

2 Lease liabilities and borrowings are not in agreement with the respective amounts shown in the financial statements as they are contractual (undiscounted) cash flows, which include capital and interest.

3.2 Capital management

The primary objective of the Group's and Company's capital management is to ensure that it maintains a strong credit rating and healthy capital ratio in order to support its business plans and maximize shareholder value. An important means of managing capital is the use of the gearing ratio (ratio of net debt to equity). Net debt includes interest bearing borrowings, as well as long-term and short-term lease liabilities less cash and cash equivalents.

As the Group and Company's cash and cash equivalents exceeded borrowings and lease liabilities as at 31 December 2022 and 2023, their net debt position at those dates was negative.

3.3 Other risks

Climate change risk

The Group is conscious of global climate change and environmental issues and acknowledges the increasing importance of climate change as a significant risk factor that may impact its operations, financial performance, and long-term sustainability. Climate risks pose operational challenges, including increased energy costs, energy and fuel price volatility, energy supply interruptions, non-compliance with relevant environmental legislation and regulations, and potential damage to our facilities due to extreme weather incidents, resulting in possible reputational issues and potential operational disruptions. However, in our effort to contribute to the mitigation of such issues and we systematically work towards minimizing our potential negative impact. We comply with current environmental legislation and relevant provisions and

through our relevant management systems (ISO14001), we are committed to conducting business in an environmentally responsible way, acknowledging that the protection of the environment, energy saving and the conservation of natural resources are integral parts of responsible and sustainable business development.

Risk related to political and economic conditions, as well as market conditions and developments in Greece.

In 2023, the Greek economy experienced ongoing expansion, fueled by increased investment levels and robust private consumption. This trend is expected to persist in 2024, with growth surpassing long-term potential, supported by favorable external conditions. Prudent fiscal policies and a thriving tourism sector were key drivers of growth in 2023, and these factors are anticipated to sustain positive momentum into 2024. The potential for central banks to implement interest rate cuts may further bolster the outlook for the year, facilitated by the normalization of energy prices and a continued deceleration in inflation. However, it's important to note that prolonged geopolitical tensions could pose a downside risk to projected growth.

3.4 Fair value estimation

The Group use the following scale to determine and disclose the fair value of financial instruments for each valuation technique:

Level 1: Traded (non-adjusted) prices on active markets for similar assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Other techniques for which all inflows with a major impact on recorded fair value are directly or indirectly observable.

Level 3: Techniques that use inflows with a major impact on recorded fair value not based on observable market data.

There are no other financial or non-financial assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value as at reporting period end.

The amounts presented in the Financial Statements for cash, trade and other receivables, trade and other current liabilities approach their respective fair values due to their short-term maturity.

The Group's financial instruments mainly include trade receivables, cash, trade payables and borrowings. Τhe carrying amount of financial instruments approximates their fair value.

4. Significant estimates and judgements of the management

The preparation of the Financial Statements requires the use of accounting estimates and judgements. Although these estimates and judgements are based on Management's best knowledge of current events and actions, as well as historical experience, actual events may ultimately differ from those estimates.

Significant accounting estimates and assumptions that involve important risk of causing future material adjustments to the assets' and liabilities' carrying values are discussed below:

(a) Ιncome taxes

The provision for income taxes in accordance with IAS 12 "Income taxes", are the amounts expected to be paid to the taxation authorities and includes provision for current income taxes reported and the potential additional tax that may be imposed as a result of audits by the taxation authorities. Group entities are subject to income taxes in different jurisdictions and significant management judgment is required in determining provision for income taxes. Actual income taxes could vary from these estimates due to future changes in income tax law, significant changes in the jurisdictions in which the Group and the Company operate, or unpredicted results from the final determination of each year's liability by tax authorities. These changes could have a significant impact on the Group's and the Company's financial position. Where the actual additional taxes payable are different from the amounts that were initially recorded, these differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such a determination is made.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities have been provided for the tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax base of such assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences and carry forward of unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax losses can be utilized. The accounting estimate related to deferred tax assets requires management to make assumptions regarding the timing of future events, including the probability of expected future taxable income and available tax planning opportunities.

(b) Provision for expected credit losses of trade receivables

Management periodically reassesses the adequacy of allowance for doubtful accounts receivable following an expected credit losses ('ECLs') approach. Because of the number of accounts, it is not practical to review the collectability of each account. Therefore, at each reporting date, the expected loss rate is assessed on the basis of historical credit losses adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive taking into consideration reports from its legal department.

(c) Provision for legal cases

For the allowance of legal cases management assesses the probability of negative outcome, as well as possible payment amounts for their settlement.

(d) Useful life of Depreciated assets

The Group's assets (Property Plant and Equipment, Intangible assets, Right-of Use assets) are depreciated over their estimated remaining useful lives. These useful lives are periodically reassessed to determine whether the original period continues to be appropriate. The actual lives of these assets can vary depending on a variety of factors such as technological innovation and maintenance programmes.

(e) Impairment testing of intangible assets

The carrying values of intangible assets are assessed for indications of impairment on an annual basis the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated based on value in use calculation. The impairment test is a complex process requiring significant management judgment and is based on key assumptions about future

profitability and cash flows and selecting the appropriate discount and long-term growth rates. The subjectivity involved in the key assumptions used by Management in the impairment review and the inherent uncertainty of those assumptions is high.

(f) Impairment testing of investment in subsidiaries

The Company's Management evaluates on a annual basis whether there are indications of impairment of investments in subsidiaries. If there are such indications, Management calculates the recoverable amount as the higher of fair value and value in use. The impairment test is a complex process requiring significant management judgment and is based on key assumptions about future profitability and cash flows and selecting the appropriate discount and long-term growth rates. The subjectivity involved in the key assumptions used by Management in the impairment review and the inherent uncertainty of those assumptions is high.

(g) Recognition of costs for development of software programmes

Costs that are directly associated with development of software programmes controlled by the Group, are recognized as intangible assets in the financial statements only when it is more than probable that the economic benefits that will be generated from these intangible assets will flow to the Group. In the assessment of future economic benefits the Group takes into account the technical possibility to complete the intangible asset in order to bring it to use or sale, the existence of market for the product that the intangible asset produces or if it this is to be used internally the usefulness of the intangible asset as well as the possibility or reliable measurement of the expenses that will be allocated to the intangible asset incurred over its development.

5. Group segment information

The Group's primary segment reporting is categorized by business activity because the risk and profitability of the Group are mainly affected by the type of the product and services offered.

NEUROSOFT ROMANIA SRL* - 95% - 95%
249,508 422,930

* The Company holds a stake of 95% indirectly in Neurosoft Romania SRL through its subsidiary Neurosoft Cyprus Ltd.

At the Company's separate financial statements, investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less impairment loss.

Investments in subsidiaries movement is as follows:

31.12.2023 31.12.2022
Opening Balance 422,930 242,930
Share capital increase of subsidiary - 180,000
Impairment losses (173,422) -
Closing Balance 249,508 422,930

Following operational challenges, there were indications that the carrying value of the subsidiary NEUROSOFT CYPRUS LTD exceeds its recoverable amount and an impairment test was carried out at 31.12.2023.

The subsidiary NEUROSOFT CYPRUS LTD was defined as a cash generating unit (CGU) for impairment testing purposes, conducted with respect to fair value as of 31 December 2023, due to losses in recent years.

The recoverable amount of this cash-generating unit was determined based on the value-in-use method. The value-in-use was calculated by using cash flow forecasts that were based on the five-year budget approved by Management, which were then projected into perpetuity.

The main assumptions used by Management in the calculation of the cash flow forecasts in the context of the annual impairment test relating to investments in subsidiaries, are the following:

  • EBITDA margin: 10.38% 10.66%
  • Growth rate: 2.00%
  • WACC: 7.80%

Based on the results of the impairment test as of 31.12.2023, the recoverable amount of the above CGU is less than its book value. The Company proceeded to the recognition of impairment losses for the amount of €173,422 which was recognized in the line "Impairment loss on investments in subsidiaries" in the Statement of total comprehensive income.

Under Greek labor law, employees are entitled to termination payments in the event of dismissal or retirement with the amount of payment varying in relation to the employee's compensation, length of service and manner of termination (dismissed or retired). Employees who resign or are dismissed with cause are not entitled to termination payments. The indemnity payable in case of retirement is equal to 40% of the amount which would be payable upon dismissal without cause. In Greece, local practice is that pension plans are not funded. In accordance with this practice, the Company does not fund these plans.

The provision for staff retirement indemnity is reflected in the financial statements in accordance with IAS 19 "Employee Benefits" and is based on an independent actuarial study. The details and principal assumptions of the actuarial study for both the Group and the Company, as of 31 December 2023 and 2022 are as follows:

According to Law 4799/2021, the corporate income tax rate in Greece is 22% for fiscal years 2021 onwards.

Based on International Accounting Standard 12 "Income Taxes" deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated, without discounting, at tax rates that are expected to apply at the period of realization, provided they are enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Tax Compliance certificate

From the financial year 2011 and onwards, Greek Société Anonyme and Limited Liability Companies that are required to prepare audited statutory financial statements are subject to the "Annual Tax Certificate" process as provided for by paragraph 5 of Article 82 of law 2238/1994 and article 65a of law 4174/2013 that has been accordingly revised by L. 4262/2014. This "Annual Tax Certificate" is issued by the same statutory auditor or audit firm that issues the audit opinion on the statutory financial statements. Upon completion of the tax audit, the statutory auditor or audit firm issues to the entity a "Tax Compliance Report" which is

subsequently submitted electronically to the Ministry of Finance, by the statutory auditor or audit firm. For the Company, which is subject to the "Annual Tax Certificate" process, the respective Tax Compliance Reports for the years 2011 to 2022 have been issued and submitted with no substantial adjustments with respect to the tax expense and corresponding tax provision as reflected in the respective annual financial statements. It is noted that based on the tax legislation in force (POL 1006/05.01.2016), the companies that have obtained a tax audit certificate without any reservations for infringements of the tax law, are not exempt from tax audit. The tax compliance audit for the financial year 2023 is being performed by PricewaterhouseCoopers S.A. Upon completion of the tax compliance audit, management does not expect that significant additional tax liabilities will arise, in excess of those provided for and disclosed in the financial statements.

During 2023, the Company was under tax audit by the Greek tax authorities for the years 2017-2018 and it was completed in December 2023. Α total amount of € 59,567 for additional taxes was assessed for the Company and has been recognised in the financial statements. During the year, the Group reversed the provision of €54,336 that has been recognized for unaudited tax years as the tax audit by the Greek tax authorities has been completed.

Tax liabilities for the years 2019-2022 are not considered to be final. Accordingly, a possible tax audit by the tax authorities may impose further taxes and fines, the amount of which is not expected to be material.

Unaudited tax years

The Company's subsidiaries have not been audited for the fiscal years shown as follows:

Company Name Unaudited tax years / periods
Neurosoft Cyprus Ltd. 2021-2022
Neurosoft Romania Srl. 23/6/2008 – today

In a future tax audit of the unaudited tax years by the tax authorities. it is possible that additional taxes and penalties may be charged to the Company and its subsidiaries. The Group is raising provisions for any additional taxes that may result from future tax audits to the extent that the relevant liability is probable and may be reliably measured.
