REPORT ON REVIEW OF INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

To the Shareholders of the Company ANEK LINES S.A.

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed separate and consolidated statement of financial position of the Company "ANEK LINES S.A." as at 30 June 2018 and the relative condensed separate and consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month period then ended, as well as the selected explanatory notes, that constitute the condensed interim financial information, which is an integral part of the six-month financial report under the L. 3556/2007. Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this condensed interim financial information, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the European Union (EU) and which apply to Interim Financial Reporting (International Accounting Standard "IAS 34"). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this condensed interim financial information based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed interim financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard "IAS 34".

SEMI ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The attached report of the Board of Directors of ANONIMI NAFTILIAKI ETAIREIA KRITIS S.A. refers to the interim separate and consolidated financial statements as of 30 June 2018 and was prepared according to the article 5 of law 3556/2007 and the implementing decisions of the Hellenic Capital Committee and in particular the decision 7/448/11.10.2007. In the attached report is included information regarding the business activities of the Group and the Company, the financial position, the financial results and the significant events during the first half of 2018. Additionally, the report includes the main risks and uncertainties that the Company may face in the second semester of the year and the most significant related party transactions.

Ι. OVERVIEW OF ACTIVITIES & FINANCIAL POSITION

ANEK Group, certifying its significant recovery after a period of prolonged deterioration in the economic climate, has managed to maintain its profitability from 2015 for three consecutive years. Subsequently, in the first half of 2018, it significantly improved its operating results compared to the corresponding period of the previous year. Through the more efficient management of the fleet and the passenger traffic growth, a significant increase in turnover was achieved while, at the same time, the cost of sales remained stable despite the rise in fuel prices.

The coastal shipping companies' activity is characterized by strong seasonality, which has an impact on revenue and results of the interim financial statements. Higher sales of Group are recorded in the third quarter of each year and are not reflected in the current financial statements, and thus the operating results for the first semester are not indicative of the annual results.

During the first half of 2018, ANEK Group operated through privately owned and chartered vessels in routes in Adriatic Sea (Ancona and Venice), Crete (Chania and Heraklion), Dodecanese islands and Cyclades. In Cyclades and Dodecanese continued to operate in public service routes. In Crete and Adriatic routes the Group's vessels continued executing combined itineraries jointly with vessels of "ATTICA S.A. HOLDINGS". In parallel, under the scope of a more efficient management of the fleet, have been occurred charters of Company's vessels abroad.

By executing 15% less itineraries compared to the first half of 2017, ANEK Group during the first half of 2018 in all routes operated has transferred 368 thousand passengers compared to 356 thousand in the previous corresponded period, 62 thousand private vehicles same as in the first half of 2017 and 69 thousand trucks compared to 70 thousand.

The key figures and their variations included in the Group's financial statements are as follows:

  • Turnover for the first half of 2018 has been significantly increased by 12% amounting to € 72,9 million compared to € 65,3 million in the corresponding period of 2017.
  • Cost of Sales for the first half of 2018 slightly decreased and formed at € 64,4 million from € 64,9 million in the first half of 2017.
  • As a result of the above, Group's Gross Profits showed a significant rise and amounted to € 8,4 million versus € 0,4 million in the comparable period.
  • Respectively, Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) in the first half of 2018 showed significant improvement amounting to profits of € 1,6 million compared to losses of € 6,3 million in the corresponded period of the previous year.
  • Group's Net financial cost for the first half of 2018 amounted to € 5,0 million versus € 4,6 million in the first half of 2017, while it is noted that the comparable results of the previous year included an income from write-off of capitalized interest amounting to € 15,5 million. Moreover, the results from investing activities resulted in profits of € 0,1 million against profits of € 2,5 million in the comparable period.
  • Finally, as a result of all above, Net results after tax and minority interests in the first half of 2018 amounted to losses of € 9,1 million compared to profits of € 2,1 million in the first half of 2017.
  • Key items of the statement of financial position
  • Group's fixed assets as at 30.06.2018 amounted to € 281,3 million compared to € 266,9 million at the end of the previous year. Depreciation for the period amounted to € 5,4 million and additions to € 20,2 million, mainly due to a long-term vessel charter contract (and its upgrading cost) with a purchase option that meets the criteria of "IAS 17" for its recognition as a finance lease.
  • Group's trade receivables as at 30.6.2018 formed at € 43,4 million compared to € 35,8 million in 31.12.2017, while other short-term receivables amounted to € 6,8 million compared to € 3,5 million.
  • Cash and cash equivalents as at 30.06.2018 amounted to € 4,5 million compared to € 6,8 million at the end of the previous year.
  • Group's long-term bank liabilities as at 30.06.2018 amounted to € 239,3 million compared to €

242,8 million at 31.12.2017. Respectively, Group's short-term bank liabilities stood at € 18,3 million compared to € 17,5 million at the end of the previous year.

  • Trade payables as at 30.06.2018 amounted to € 39,5 million from € 26,7 million at 31.12.2017, while other short term liabilities amounted to € 34,8 million compared to € 13,3 million, mainly, due to the seasonality of sales (increase of deferred income by € 12,3 million referred to tickets for trips at a post later time of June 30th , 2018).

Cash flows

Group during first half of 2018 showed inflows from operating activities amounted to € 8,2 million compared to € 7,7 million in the corresponding period. Investing activities showed outflows of € 6,2 million compared to € 11,4 million in the first half of 2017. Finally, financing activities for the first half of 2018 showed outflows of € 4,3 million compared to € 1,4 million.

Financial ratios

  • The gross profit margin (%) "Gross Profit / Turnover" of the Group for the first half of 2018 formed at 11,6 %, compared to 0,6 % in the corresponding period, due to the increase in turnover.
  • Indicators of general liquidity (:1) "Current assets / Current liabilities" and immediate liquidity (:1) "[Current assets - Inventory] / Current liabilities" stood at 0,66 and 0,62 respectively, versus 0,90 and 0,85 at 31.12.2017.
  • The debt ratios (:1) "Liabilities / Equity" and "Long and short term borrowings / Equity" on 30.06.2018 are negative due to the Group's negative equity. The "Liabilities / (Equity + Liabilities)" ratio formed at 1,02 on 30.06.2018 compared to 0,99 at the end of year 2017, while the "Long and short term borrowings / (Equity + Liabilities)" ratio formed at 0,74 compared to 0,81.
  • Finally, regarding the capital structure, the ratios "Fixed Assets / Long Term Liabilities" and "Fixed Assets / Long-term Bank Liabilities" on 30.06.2018 stood at 1,08 and 1,21 respectively, against 1,03 and 1,12 to the end of year 2017.

ΙΙ. SIGNIFICANT EVENTS OF FIRST HALF 2018 AND AFTERWARDS

In March 2018 the Company concluded a lease contract of a vessel which was upgraded and

launched in Adriatic routes, replacing a chartered vessel.

  • In May 2018 ANEK signed a contract for the installation of ERP software. This project is in progress and is expected to be completed by the end of the year 2018.
  • On August 28th 2018 a fire broke out on the vessel «EL. VENIZELOS». It is noted that the vessel is insured by an international mutual insurance organization in order to cover liability claims by third parties (Protection & Indemnity). Regarding the damage of the vessel, the Company will be compensated by the insurers of Hull and Machinery. Under the assessment of the data of the incident, it is reasonable to assume that there will be no materially burden in the financial results of the Company.

ΙΙΙ. MAIN RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES FOR THE 2ND HALF

Risk of fuel prices fluctuation

Fuel cost is the key operating cost incurred by the Group with a direct effect on the results of each period and thus, a rise in fuel prices is the most important risk faced by the Group. Fuel prices are settled in Euro, but they are indirectly affected by the EUR/USD exchange rate used as a basis for the determination of the international prices. The sensitivity of the results and of the equity to a change in the average cost of fuels per metric ton -ceteris paribus- for the first half of 2018 was as follows:

Fuel price change Effect on results and equity
± 5% / metric ton (-/+) € 1,15 million
± 10% / metric ton (-/+) € 2,31 million
± 20% / metric ton (-/+) € 4,62 million

Interest rate fluctuation risk

ANEK has entered into agreements for long-term syndicated loans, bilateral loans and credit accounts with different banks. Interests for all the above loans are calculated on the basis of the Euribor rate plus a margin. Consequently, the Company is exposed to a rate fluctuation risk, as it will be burdened with extra financial cost in the event of an increase in interest rates. The sensitivity of the results and equity to long term debt rate interest rate changes for the first half of 2018 was as follows:

Change of interest rate Effect in the results and equity
± 0,5% (-/+) € 0,65 million
± 1% (-/+) € 1,30 million

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group or the Company may not be able to meet its financial obligations and disrupt their smooth operation. The restructuring of the Parent's long-term borrowing has led to a balance in equity and has reduced the liquidity risk. The Group's cash as at 30.06.2018 amounted to € 4,5 million, while in order to avoid a possible lack of sufficient liquidity, the Group's management ensures that bank credits are always available to meet extraordinary needs in periods of low liquidity.

Credit risk

Under the existing financial conditions, all companies are facing increased credit risks. The Group is monitoring its customers' balances closely by applying credit control procedures and defining credit limits and specific credit policies for all the customer categories. Where it is necessary, it has obtained additional guarantees to secure the credit granted even more. The accumulative provisions formed have reached the amount of € 37,3 million, and it is considered adequate to deal with credit risk, while, there is significant dispersion of the Group's receivables. Although, that there is a concentration of receivables by the Joint venture, these receivables refer to a large number of debtors (agents, truck companies etc.) that are settled through the Joint venture (as a special scheme) and therefore the risk of concentration is limited. Regarding cash and cash equivalents, the Group is not exposed to any credit risk as there is natural hedging, given that there are also loan agreements entered into with the cooperating financial institutions.

Competition

The vessels of ANEK Group perform itineraries in routes where there is intensive competition, particularly in Greece-Italy and Piraeus-Crete routes. The effort made by each company to retain and increase its market share in the above markets may intensify competition even more, thus having an impact on their financial results. Moreover, as part of its shipping activities, the Group is trying to improve the allocation of vessels per route, examines the profitability of existing (and possible new) routes and set its prices at competitive levels. A potential intensification of competition in the markets where the Group operates may have a significant adverse effect on the Group's operating results, cash flows and financial position.

Foreign exchange risk

Both the Company and the Group are not exposed to increased foreign exchange risk since most transactions with customers and suppliers abroad are made in euro. There is a limited exchange risk caused by the market value of spare parts and other materials, or services procured in foreign currencies, which is small in relation to the total of purchases and expenses.

Regulatory risk

There is a risk of additional costs or investments from any changes in the environmental - regulatory framework related to the operation and supervision of passenger shipping activities of the Group.

ΙV. PROSPECTS FOR THE 2ND HALF OF 2018

The traffic of passengers and vehicles during the summer months of 2018 in the routes ANEK operated was quite encouraging. However, the entry of a competitor in the Chania route since mid-July is anticipated to decrease the expected traffic and route revenue of the second half of the year.

In addition, the Group's prospects for the second half of 2018 depend on the general course of the economy, the touristic traffic and the demand for coastal services, as well as the evolution of international oil prices. Fuel prices fluctuated at a much higher level than in the comparable period, while fuel costs remain the most basic factor of the Group's operating costs. Considering that the course of international oil prices is an unpredictable factor, any further assessment of their impact on the results of the financial year would be arbitrary.

V. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The most important transactions and balances between the Parent Company and its subsidiaries (LANE, ETANAP, LEFKA ORI, AIGAION PELAGOS, ANEK HOLDINGS), its associate (ANEK LINES ITALIA) and its related party (JV ANEK S.A. & SUPERFAST ENDEKA (HELLAS) INC.), hereinafter "JOINT VENTURE", mainly, pertain to vessels' chartering, tickets issuance commissions, vessels' agency, other services and the purchase of bottled water.

INFORMATION AND EXPLANATORY NOTES ON THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE PERIOD 01.01.2018 – 30.06.2018

1. General information for the Company and the Group

The Parent company was established in 1967 (Government Gazette 201/10.04.67) under the corporate name "ANONIMI NAFTILIAKH ETAIREIA KRITIS S.A." trading as "ANEK LINES" (hereinafter "ANEK" or the "Company", or the "Parent company") and is operating in the passenger ferry shipping sector. The Company's seat is located in the municipality of Chania – Crete, and its registered offices are located on 148 Karamanli Ave. ANEK is recorded in General Company Register under number 121557860000 and its website address is www.anek.gr. The Company's shares have been listed since 1999 on the Athens Stock Exchange. In addition to the Parent company, the Group includes the following subsidiaries and associates with the following participation percentages:

The aforementioned companies, in which ANEK participates by more than 50%, as well as "ETANAP" in which the Parent company has the control, have been included in the consolidated financial statements as at 30 th June 2018 using the full consolidation method. "ANEK LINES ITALIA S.r.l." in which the Parent Company participates by 49% was consolidated using the equity method. "ANEK HOLDINGS SA" participates by 100% in "ANEK ENERGY LTD", which was inactive and was liquidated in November 2017. It is noted that in July of 2018 was completed the share capital increase of the subsidiary "ETANAP". Since 18.07.2018 ANEK's stake in "ETANAP" formed at 31,90% and in "LEFKA ORI" - in which the parent company had a direct and indirect stake through ETANAP - at 48,24%, which will affect the valuation of the subsidiaries in the Parent's financial statements respectively. Also, the subsidiary LANE continues its actions for its inclusion in the provisions of Article 106b of the Bankruptcy Code.

The number of personnel employed as at 30 June 2018 was 857 for the Company (out of which 648 were employed as vessels' crew) and 922 for the Group (out of which 648 were employed as vessels' crew). Respectively, at the end of the comparative period of 2017 the Company had a number of 810 and the Group 912 employees.

The interim financial statements as of 30th June 2018 were approved by the BoD of the Parent Company

at the meeting of 26 th September 2018.

2. Preparation basis of the financial statements and accounting principles

The interim separate and consolidated financial statements as of 30 th June, 2018 (hereinafter the "financial statements") have been prepared according to the International Financial Reporting Standards (hereinafter "IFRS"), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and adopted by the European Union, and more specifically to the IAS 34 "Interim financial reporting". Therefore, they do not include all the information required for the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the published statements as of 31 December 2017 that have been posted on the Company's website at www.anek.gr.

The basic accounting principles adopted in the preparation of the interim financial statements are the same as those followed in the preparation of the annual financial statements as of 31.12.2017, except for the new standards and interpretations which are applicable after January 1 st 2018. The preparation of financial statements according to IFRS requires that the management makes estimates, assumptions and assessments that affect the assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent receivables and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the published amounts of income and expenses. The actual results may differ from these estimates.

New standards and interpretations, revisions and amendments

The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), as well as the Interpretation Committee has issued a range of new IFRS and interpretations, which either are mandatory for accounting periods starting from January 1st 2018 and thereafter, or are not mandatory, as since the publishing date of the interim financial statements they have not been adopted from the European Union. The Group has adopted all the new IFRS and interpretations which are mandatory after January 1st 2018 and examines the effect in the financial statements of the potential adoption of the other IFRS and interpretations. The most significant new standards and interpretations are as follows:

(α) New Standards, interpretations, revisions and amendments of existing standards that have been adopted from the European Union and their application is mandatory from 1st January 2018 or after:

IFRS 9 – Financial instruments

In July 2014, the IASB issued the final version of IFRS 9. The improvements introduced by the new standard refer to the existence of a reasonable model for classification and measurement, a single predictive model for expected impairment losses and also a substantially reformed approach for hedge accounting.

The adoption of IFRS 9 resulted in a change in the accounting treatment of impairment losses on financial assets (with effect on the "Trade Receivables" account) as it replaced the treatment of IAS 39 for recognition of realized losses by recognizing the expected credit losses.

The Group applies the simplified approach of IFRS 9 for the calculation of expected credit losses, according to which the provision for impairment is always measured at the amount of the expected lifetime loss for the receivables from customers and other conventional assets. To determine the expected credit losses in relation to customer receivables, the Group and the Joint Venture use a credit loss forecast for each class of receivables (agents, cargo, other) based on the historical data for credit losses, adjusted for future factors in relation with debtors and the economic environment. Provisions for impairment of the Group and the Company were increased by € 668 thousand on 01.01.2018. The increase in the provision resulted in the adjustment of the "Results carried forward" account and the "Trade Receivables" account. The Group has applied IFRS 9 as at 1.1.2018, without the restatement of the respective comparatives, therefore the comparative amounts of the Group for 2017 are presented in accordance with IAS 39.

Business Model Assessment: The business model of an entity is determined at a level that reflects the way in which financial asset groups are managed together to achieve a particular business objective. Basically, it refers to how the entity manages its financial assets to generate cash flows. That is, the business model determines whether cash flows arise from the collection of contractual cash flows, the sale of financial assets, or both. Based on IFRS 9, it is stated that financial assets held for trading or at fair value will be measured at fair value through profit or loss. Based on the business model evaluation and the SPPI test, there were no differences in the classification of the financial instruments of the Company and the Group.

IFRS 15 - Revenue from contracts with customers

In May 2014, the IASB issued a new Standard, IFRS 15. The Standard fully converges with the requirements for the recognition of revenue in both IFRS and US GAAP. The key principles on which the Standard is based are consistent with much of current practice. The new Standard is expected to improve financial reporting by providing a more robust framework for addressing issues as they arise, increasing comparability across industries and capital markets, providing enhanced disclosures and clarifying accounting for contract costs. The new Standard will supersede IAS 11 "Construction Contracts", IAS 18 "Revenue" and several revenue related Interpretations. From the adoption of IFRS 15 did not emerge differences in the recognition of revenues of the Group and the Company.

Clarifications to IFRS 15 - Revenue from contracts with customers

In April 2016, the IASB published clarifications to IFRS 15. The amendments to IFRS 15 do not change the underlying principles of the Standard, but clarify how those principles should be applied. The amendments clarify how to identify a performance obligation in a contract, how to determine whether a company is a principal or an agent and how to determine whether the revenue from granting a license should be recognized at a point in time or over time. From the adoption of IFRS 15 did not emerge differences in the recognition of revenues of the Group and the Company.

Amendment to IFRS 2: "Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions"

In June 2016, the IASB published narrow scope amendment to IFRS 2. The objective of this amendment is to

clarify how to account for certain types of share-based payment transactions. More specifically, the amendments provide requirements on the accounting for the effects of vesting and non-vesting conditions on the measurement of cash-settled share-based payments, for share-based payment transactions with a net settlement feature for withholding tax obligation, as well as, a modification to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment that changes the classification of the transaction from cash-settled to equity-settled. The above are effective from 01.01.2018 and do not affect the financial statements of the Group.

Amendments to IFRS 4 - Applying IFRS 9 Financial Instruments with IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts

In September 2016, the IASB published amendments to IFRS 4. The objective of the amendments is to address the temporary accounting consequences of the different effective dates of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and the forthcoming insurance contracts Standard. The amendments to existing requirements of IFRS 4 permit entities whose predominant activities are connected with insurance to defer the application of IFRS 9 until 2021 (the "temporary exemption") and also permit all issuers of insurance contracts to recognize in other comprehensive income, rather than profit or loss, the volatility that could arise when IFRS 9 is applied before the new insurance contracts Standard is issued (the "overlay approach"). The above are effective from 01.01.2018 and do not affect the financial statements of the Group.

Annual improvements to IFRS – Cycle 2014 - 2016

In December 2016, the IASB issued Annual Improvements to IFRSs – 2014-2016 Cycle, a collection of amendments to IFRSs, in response to several issues addressed during the 2014-2016 cycle. The issues included in this cycle are the following: IFRS 12: Clarification of the scope of the Standard, IFRS 1: Deletion of short-term exemptions for first-time adopters, IAS 28: Measuring an associate or joint venture at fair value. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017 for IFRS 12, and 1 January 2018 for IFRS 1 and IAS 28. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its financial statements. The above do not affect the financial statements of the Group.

Amendments to IAS 40 - Transfers of Investment Property

In December 2016, the IASB published narrow-scope amendments to IAS 40. The objective of the amendments is to reinforce the principle for transfers into, or out of, investment property in IAS 40, to specify that (a) a transfer into, or out of investment property should be made only when there has been a change in use of the property, and (b) such a change in use would involve the assessment of whether the property qualifies as an investment property. That change in use should be supported by evidence. The above are effective from 01.01.2018 and do not affect the financial statements of the Group.

IFRIC 22 - Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration

In December 2016, the IASB issued a new Interpretation, IFRIC 22. IFRIC 22 provides requirements about which exchange rate to use in reporting foreign currency transactions (such as revenue transactions) when payment is made or received in advance. The above are effective from 01.01.2018 and do not affect the financial statements of the Group.

(β) New Standards, Interpretations and Amendments to existing Standards that have not been applied yet or have not been adopted by the European Union:

IFRS 16 - Leases

In January 2016, the IASB issued a new Standard, IFRS 16. The objective of the project was to develop a new Leases Standard that sets out the principles that both parties to a contract, i.e. the customer ('lessee') and the supplier ('lessor'), apply to provide relevant information about leases in a manner that faithfully represents those transactions. To meet this objective, a lessee is required to recognize assets and liabilities arising from a lease. The above are effective from 01.01.2019. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its financial statements.

Amendments to IFRS 9 - Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation

In October 2017, the IASB published narrow-scope amendments to IFRS 9. Under the existing requirements of IFRS 9, an entity would have measured a financial asset with negative compensation at fair value through profit or loss as the "negative compensation" feature would have been viewed as introducing potential cash flows that were not solely payments of principal and interest. Under the amendments, companies are allowed to measure particular prepayable financial assets with so-called negative compensation at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income if a specified condition is met. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its financial statements. The above are effective for annual periods starting from 01.01.2019.

Amendments to IAS 28 - Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures

In October 2017, the IASB published narrow-scope amendments to IAS 28. The objective of the amendments is to clarify that companies account for long-term interests in an associate or joint venture – to which the equity method is not applied – using IFRS 9. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its financial statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above are effective for annual periods starting from 01.01.2019 and have not been adopted by the European Union.

Annual improvements to IFRSs - Cycle 2015 - 2017

In December 2017, the IASB issued Annual Improvements to IFRSs – 2015-2017 Cycle, a collection of amendments to IFRSs, in response to several issues addressed during the 2015-2017 cycle. The issues included in this cycle are the following: IFRS 3 - IFRS 11: Previously held interest in a joint operation, IAS 12: Income tax consequences of payments on financial instruments classified as equity, IAS 23: Borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above are effective for annual periods starting from 01.01.2019 and have not been adopted by the European Union.

Amendments to IAS 19 - Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement

In February 2018, the IASB published narrow-scope amendments to IAS 19, under which an entity is required to use updated assumptions to determine current service cost and net interest for the remainder of the reporting period after an amendment, curtailment or settlement to a plan. The objective of the amendments is to enhance the understanding of the financial statements and provide useful information to the users. The Group will

examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements. The above are effective from annual periods starting on or after 01.01.2019 and have not been adopted by the European Union.

IFRIC 23 - Uncertainty over income tax treatments

In June 2017, the IASB issued the new Interpretation IFRIC 23. IAS 12 "Income Taxes" specifies how to account for current and deferred tax, but not how to reflect the effects of uncertainty. IFRIC 23 provides requirements that add to the requirements in IAS 12 by specifying how to reflect the effects of uncertainty in accounting for income taxes. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its financial statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above are effective for annual periods starting from 01.01.2019 and have not been adopted by the European Union.

Revision of the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting

In March 2018, the IASB issued the revised Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (Conceptual Framework), the objective of which was to incorporate some important issues that were not covered, as well as update and clarify some guidance that was unclear or out of date. The revised Conceptual Framework includes a new chapter on measurement, which analyzes the concept on measurement, including factors to be considered when selecting a measurement basis, concepts on presentation and disclosure, and guidance on derecognition of assets and liabilities from financial statements. In addition, the revised Conceptual Framework includes improved definitions of an asset and a liability, guidance supporting these definitions, update of recognition criteria for assets and liabilities, as well as clarifications in important areas, such as the roles of stewardship, prudence and measurement uncertainty in financial reporting. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above have not been adopted by the European Union.

Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards

In March 2018, the IASB issued Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework, following its revision. Some Standards include explicit references to previous versions of the Conceptual Framework. The objective of these amendments is to update those references so that they refer to the revised Conceptual Framework and to support transition to the revised Conceptual Framework. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above are effective from annual periods starting on or after 01.01.2020 have not been adopted by the European Union.

IFRS 17 – Insurance contracts

In May 2017, the IASB issued a new Standard, IFRS 17, which replaces an interim Standard, IFRS 4. The aim of the project was to provide a single principle-based standard to account for all types of insurance contracts, including reinsurance contracts that an insurer holds. A single principle-based standard would enhance comparability of financial reporting among entities, jurisdictions and capital markets. IFRS 17 sets out the requirements that an entity should apply in reporting information about insurance contracts it issues and reinsurance contracts it holds. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its financial statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above are effective from annual periods starting on or after 01.01.2020 have not been adopted by the European Union.

3. Seasonal nature of business activities

The activities of Group shipping companies are highly seasonal, which affects the income and results of the interim financial statements. More specifically, the transportation of passengers and vehicles is particularly increased during summer months – due to tourism – and holidays, while the transportation of trucks demonstrates slight fluctuations during the year. Therefore, the highest sales take place during the third quarter of each year (from 01.07 to 30.09), which includes the summer months and the operating results of the first semester are not indicative of the annual results.

4. Segmental information

The basic business activity of the Group is concentrated upon passenger ferry shipping activities, both domestic and abroad. The main sources of revenue are generated from passengers, vehicles and truck fares, as well as other on-board activities (bar, restaurants, stores and casinos). Revenues of non-shipping Group companies are included in the figure "Other activities". The following tables show the geographic allocation of activities of both the Group and the Company for the first half of 2018 and 2017:

Revenue from domestic activities includes income from state subsidies for public services routes amounting to € 2.836 thousand for the Group. In the previous corresponded period the relevant amount was € 4.123 thousand.

Additions, depreciation and net book value of vessels were allocated to geographic activities depending on the time of operation of each vessel in domestic and abroad routes. Any further allocation would be arbitrary, given the fact that the above services and sources of income and cost were resulted from commonly used items of assets and equity and cannot be broken down into segments.

"NORMAN ATLANTIC" case

Referring to the development of the case of the incident of the fire in the chartered vessel "NORMAN AT-LANTIC" in December 2014 (see note 29 of the annual financial report of 2014), it is noted that the investigation as to the cause of the incident is in progress by the Italian and Greek judicial authorities. In February 2017 filled before the court of Bari the report of the appointed experts. The above mentioned incident has already brought claims and interim measures to the Greek and Italian courts raised by a significant number of parties' sustained damages against the Company, the owning company and the managers of the vessel, while a significant number of the claims have been settled extrajudicially. The above mentioned compensations and expenses are covered by the Mutual Insurance Association, with which the Company has signed Protection & Indemnity insurance cover and legal protection (FD&D), therefore, it is not expected to burden the financial results by the compensation process.

On August 28, 2018 a fire broke out on the vessel "EL. VENIZELOS". It is noted that the vessel is insured with an international mutual insurance organization to cover third party claims (Protection & Indemnity). Regarding the damage suffered by the vessel, the Company will be compensated by the insurers of Hull and Machinery. From the assessment of the data of the particular event to date, it is reasonable to assume that there will be no material financial burden on the Company.

There are no other facts subsequent to June 30th 2018 which could substantially affect the financial position and the results of the Group and the Company, or that should be mentioned in the notes on the financial statements.
