The Group's turnover decreased by 9.09% compared to the same period last year and amounted to € 10.9 million. Decreased sales came mainly from the Parent Company and the decreased demand in Greek market where wholesales decreased by 9.4%.
Group's gross profit margin decreased slightly by 0.5% compared to 2018, being formed to 51.6% from 52.1%. The decrease is mainly due to an increase in the exchange rate of the Dollar against the Euro. The exchange rate was EUR 1,1658 / USD as at 30.6.18 versus EUR 1,1380 / USD as at 30.06.2019.
Despite the decrease in distribution expenses, as a result of the decrease in revenues and inelastic expenses, the EBITDA of the Group and the Company decreased by 18.58% and 21.91% respectively compared to the same period of the previous year and being formed to 21,46% for the Group and 20.94% for the Company.
The management of the Company's securities portfolio resulted to gains which improved the overall profitability of the Company and the Group.
As a result, the Group's profit before tax and profit after tax for the first half of 2019 are decreased compared to the corresponding period of 2018 in absolute figures, by € 173 thousand and € 143 thousand respectively.
The Group's operating activities are negative by € 887 thousand due to the reduced turnover of the Company in the first half of the year.
Net Profit before Tax: The decrease in profitability compared to the previous year for the Group and the Company is attributable to
| Α. Decrease in sales volume | -602.960 |
|---|---|
| Β. Decrease in Gross Profit Margin % | -185.857 |

In the period ended 30.06.2019, Condensed Interim Financial Statements were prepared including the financial information of the subsidiaries "AS COMPANY CYPRUS LTD" and "AS KIDS TOYS S.R.L.". The Romanian subsidiary commenced trading activity in the second half of 2018 and is therefore not included in the Interim Financial Statements for the period from 1.1.2018 to 30.6.2018.
The Annual General Meeting of the Company's Shareholders held on 21.6.2019 took the following decisions:
In the first semester of 2019 the AS COMPANY S.A Group participated in various exhibitions in Greece and abroad.
More specifically during the first semester the Group participated in the below exhibitions:
a. Parousies in Greece b. Spielwarenmesse in Nurnberg c. Annual Corporate Exhibition in Greece d. Distoy in London. The presence of the Group in exhibitions abroad is of great importance for the penetration to new markets and for this reason the Group plans to actively participate in the next exhibitions of the sector throughout the year.
The retail and trading activity of kids clothing sector reached € 505 thousand, turnover compared to € 515 thousand turnover on 2018 , showing a decrease of 1,9%.
This activity continued to have a low contribution to the Company's profitability, and for this reason the Management terminated in the second half of 2019, as it was announced, the operation of four leased retail stores in order to focus on its main activity. The Company maintains only its retail store in its headquarters in Oraiokastro, Thessaloniki.
The tax compliance assurance work of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2018, which was conducted by the Certified Auditor pursuant to article 65A of Law 4174/2013, was completed in 2 August 2019 and an unqualified Tax Compliance Assurance Report was issued.
On 24.07.2019 the decision 77591/24.07.2019 of the Ministry of Economy, Development and Tourism was uploaded in the General Electronic Commercial Registry which approved the amendment of article 5 of the Articles of Association of the Company. The Corporate Actions Committee of the Athens Stock Exchange was informed at the meeting on 31.07.2019 about the reduction of the share capital with the purpose of returning capital by cash payment to the shareholders, amounting to € 0,07 per share, as well as for the relevant amendment of the article 5 of the Company's Articles of Association.
The activities of the Company and the Group are exposed to a number of risks. The main risks are described below:
Group's Management aims to limit the potential negative impact of these risks on its financial results and is constantly adapting to the new circumstances so as to maintain its activities unaffected.
This specific risk relates to the exchange rate between euro and other currencies that related to the sales and purchases of the Company and the Subsidiaries.
The Group carries out a significant part of its imports from China - Hong Kong which are invoiced in US dollars (USD). In the first semester of 2019 purchases in dollar comprised for 73% of total purchases, compared to 70% of the prior period's purchases. The value of imports in dollar (USD) is 6,27% higher than the same period last year.
The Group in the first semester of 2019 did not use financial instruments to reduce its exposure from foreign exchange risk arising from the markets.
The Company's Management estimates that there are no significant risks arising from a possible change in interest rates given the Company's minimum borrowing on 30/6/2019.
Given that most of the toys traded by the Company and the Group are imported from China, any change in trade relations between China and the European Union, or any change in the exchange rate between CNY/USD given that most of the of the Group's purchases are made in USD, may affect positively or negatively, on the one hand, the supply of customers and sales of the Group and on the other the Cost of sales and Profitability.
The Company continuously monitors the financial data of the Chinese market by maintaining long lasting relationships with its suppliers. The Company also participate in exhibitions in China with a purpose of setting up preferred suppliers list, with whom it could enter into a business relationship.
It concerns the risk that the Company or the Group may face if a customer fails to fulfil its contractual obligations. The Group and the Company, in order to reduce their credit risk, apply a rational credit policy, taking into account any market information collected from data banks for the credibility of their customers. The receivables of the Group and the Company derive mainly from wholesale, while a significant part of the receivables derive from large customers.
The financial condition of its customers is continuously monitored by the Group and the Company by controlling credit limits provided. If deemed necessary additional collaterals and guarantees are obtained.
Due to the size of the Company's trading circuit, the potential credit risk for the Group is currently retained by the Company.
Liquidity risk exists in the event where the Group cannot fulfil its financial obligations. As appears in the financial statements, both at Company and at Group level, the liquidity risk is fully controlled (see working capital ratio).
| GROUP | 30.06.2019 | 30.06.2018 |
|---|---|---|
| Current Assets / Short Term Liabilities | 495,9% | 369,6% |
| COMPANY | 30.06.2019 | 30.06.2018 |
| Current Assets / Short Term Liabilities | 490,8% | 366,7% |
As far as the cash flow risk is concerned, it is noted that the Company and the Subsidiary are adequately protected, due to: a) the high credit rating with the banking institutions, b) the financial assets of the Company, whose carrying amount in the financial statements does not deviate from their fair value, c) maintaining cash at credible banks d) placing cash to trading investments.
Due to the seasonality in the Group's products, a rational management of working capital is required because in any other case additional financial costs may burden its results. The Group has sufficient funding lines from Banking Institutions.
Given that most of the Group's merchandises are carried over from the warehouse of the Company to customers and the subsidiaries, the Company should be covered by its exposure to counterparty risk by insuring its products.
For this purpose, the Company carries out insurance of its facilities by a consortium of insurance companies, something that gives adequate insurance cover for all the main risks.
The subsidiaries in Romania and Cyprus do not have their own warehouse and the trading of merchandise takes place through the warehouse facilities of the parent Company.
The demand of Company's products is affected by external factors such as economic uncertainty, reduced consumption and consumers preference for low-priced products. In this context, Management has made a selection of quality products with low retail price, which are attractive to consumers.
The Company proceeds to short-term investments (mainly bonds) having first evaluated the relevant ratings from international firms.
According to ELSTAT Retail Sales data for the first semester of 2019, retail sales were decreased by 0.6% compared to prior period of 2018. The Company's management estimates that the Greek toy market will fluctuate around 2018 levels or slightly less.
The Company's Management aims to increase its market share in the domestic market through the trade of innovative toys series across many of its categories, improving the Company's position on its customer shelves and opening new sales channels. The Company continues to invest heavily in the digital environment with enhanced presence through its partners and own resources.
The Company has also designed innovative advertising campaigns this year to support its products for the critical holiday season.
A particularly important objective is to increase the stock turnover days while reducing stocks on the market.
The Group aims to increase sales for 2019 in the Cypriot and Romanian markets through its subsidiaries.
The Group is continuing its organizational and digital restructuring activities in order to be ready to face the challenges of upcoming market changes.
As related parties within the meaning of IAS 24 are in addition to subsidiaries and affiliates, also directors and members of the Board of Directors.

On 6.9.2019 (the cut-off date) the Company's shares were negotiable on the ATHEX. with the new nominal value of € 0.49 per share, without the right to participate in cash return to shareholders of € 0.07 per share.

For the analysis of the Company's and the Group's performance, "comparable" figures are used which are calculated by adding-deducting captions presented in the Financial Statements prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards.
This ratio results from the deduction of administrative, distribution and research expenses from the gross profit plus other income. Operating expenses do not include depreciation that are presented in separate caption in the Financial Statements. This ratio provides with useful information for the analysis of the Company's and the Group's operating performance.
| The ratio for the corresponding years of 2017, 2018 & 2019 was as follows: | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 30.06.2019 | 30.06.2018 | 30.06.2017 | |
| EBIDTA | 2.329.565 | 2.861.193 | 1.989.141 |
| % Sales | 21,46% | 23,95% | 16,93% |
This ratio results from the addition of the short-term borrowings plus the long-term borrowings from which the cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments are deducted. The outcome of these captions is divided by the Equity to calculate the leverage ratio The Group uses this ratio to measure its liquidity.

To the Shareholders of AS COMMERCIAL - INDUSTRIAL COMPUTER AND TOY COMPANY S.A.
We have reviewed the accompanying interim condensed standalone and consolidated Statement of Financial Position of AS COMMERCIAL - INDUSTRIAL COMPUTER AND TOY COMPANY S.A. (the "Company") as at 30 June 2019 and the related condensed standalone and consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income, Changes in Equity and Cash Flows for the sixmonth period then ended and the selected explanatory notes, which comprise the condensed interim financial information and which forms an integral part of the six-month financial report of article 5 and 5a of L. 3556/2007. Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this condensed interim financial information in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards adopted by the European Union and specifically with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this condensed interim financial information based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements (ISRE) 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, as incorporated in Greek Law, 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.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed interim financial information as at 30 June 2019 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting".
Our review did not identify any material inconsistency or error in the statements of the members of the Board of Directors and in the information of the six-month Financial Report of the Board of Directors as defined in articles 5 and 5a of L. 3556/2007 in relation to the accompanying interim condensed financial information.

AS COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL COMPANY OF COMPUTERS AND TOYS S.A. is a Hellenic Societe Anonyme Trading Company founded on 8 November 1990 (Official Government Gazette 4222 / 03.12.1990). The Company is registered with the Registry of Societes Anonymes of the Ministry of Economy, Development and Tourism, with GEMI number 057546304000 and Registry Number 22949/06/B/90/107. Its web site is www.ascompany.gr and is listed on the Athens Stock Exchange. The Financial Statements of 30 June 2019 were approved by the Board of Directors on 27 September 2019.
The Company's number of employees as of 30 June 2019 was 79 persons and for the Group 83 persons.
The main activity of the Company concerns the wholesale trade of toys.
The subsidiary in Cyprus under the name "AS COMPANY CYPRUS LTD" is governed by and operates under Cyprus Law, in the form of a Limited Liability Company. The subsidiary was established in May 2016 with an initial capital of € 150.000, which was 100% covered by the parent company, which is its sole shareholder.
The Romanian subsidiary AS KIDS TOYS S.R.L. is governed by and operates under Romanian law in the form of Limited Liability Company. The subsidiary was established in February 2018. Its share capital amounts to € 400.000 and has been 100% covered by the parent company, which is its sole shareholder.
The Interim Financial Statements have been prepared with the International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". Those Interim Financial Statements do not contain all the information required in the annual financial statements and for this reason should be read in conjunction with the published audited annual Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2018, which can be found on the Company's website address www.ascompany.gr.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the historical cost principle, except for the financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, which, based on IFRSs, are measured at fair value.
For the preparation of the Financial Statements the significant accounting estimates from the Management for the application of the Group's accounting principles as well as the main source of evaluation of uncertainty are the same with those adopted on the preparation of the annual Financial statements as of 31.12.2018, except from those that concern the adoption of the new IFRS as of January 2019.
There are no changes in the applied accounting principles and methods compared with those applied in the preparation of the Financial Statements as of 31.12.2018 according to IFRS after the consideration of the standards and interpretations that are noted in paragraph 3b below.
The amounts of the Financial Statements are expressed in Euro, unless otherwise stated. Any differences in the sums are due to roundings.
The accounting principles used in the preparation of these Financial Statements are explained below. These principles have been applied consistently in the current period as well as in the prior year so as the figures presented in the Financial Statements to be absolutely comparable.
The accounting principles and methods and calculation methods used in the preparation of the Financial Statements, the significant accounting estimates adopted by Management and the main sources of uncertainty that affect these estimates are the same as those adopted in the published annual Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2018 (as posted on the Company's website), after taking into account the new and amended changes in the standards and interpretations listed below
The following new and amended standards and interpretations, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IC) and endorsed by the European Union (EU), apply from 1 January 2019:
The amendment changes IFRS 9 requirements in order to allow measurement of a financial asset at amortized cost or at FVOCI, depending on the business model, even in the case of prepayment options which could result in the party that triggers the early termination receiving compensation from the other party (negative compensation). Therefore, measurement of these financial assets will be regardless of the event or circumstance that caused the early termination of the contract and irrespective of which party pays or receives reasonable compensation for the early termination. Applying IFRS 9 before the amendment would probably result in the measurement of these financial assets at FVTPL.
The amendment also confirms the modification accounting of financial liabilities under IFRS 9. Specifically, when a financial liability measured at amortized cost is modified without this resulting in derecognition, a gain or loss, calculated as the difference between the original contractual cash flows and the modified cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate, and should be recognized in profit or loss.
The adoption of the amendment had no impact on the condensed interim Financial Statements of the Group and the Company.
The interpretation clarifies the application of the recognition and measurement requirements in IAS 12 'Income Taxes' when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. In such a circumstance, recognition and measurement of current or deferred tax asset or liability according to IAS 12 is based on taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses and tax credits and tax rates determined applying IFRIC 23.
According to the interpretation, each uncertain tax treatment is considered separately or together as a group, depending on which approach better predicts the resolution of the uncertainty and the entity should assume that a tax authority with the right to examine tax treatments will examine them and will have full knowledge of all relevant information.
If an entity concludes it is probable that the taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment, it should determine its accounting for income taxes consistently with that tax treatment. If it concludes that it is not probable that the treatment will be accepted, the effect of the uncertainty in its income tax accounting should be reflected in the period in which that determination is made, using the method that best predicts the resolution of the uncertainty (i.e. the most likely amount or the expected value method).
Judgments and estimates made for the recognition and measurement of the effect of uncertain tax treatments should be reassessed whenever circumstances change or new information that affects those judgments arise (e.g. actions by the tax authority, evidence that it has taken a particular position in connection with a similar item or the expiry of its right to examine a particular tax treatment).
The adoption of the interpretation had no impact on the condensed interim Financial Statements of the Group and the Company.
IFRS 16, which supersedes IAS 17 'Leases' and related interpretations, introduces a single, on Statement of Financial Position lease accounting model for lessees, under which the classification of leases for a lessee, as either operating leases or finance leases, is eliminated and all leases are treated similarly to finance leases under IAS 17.
The definition of a lease under IFRS 16 mainly relates to the concept of control. The new standard distinguishes between leases and service contracts on the basis of whether the use of an identified asset is controlled by the customer. Control is considered to exist if the customer has:
IFRS 16 provides for the recognition of a 'right-of-use-asset' and a 'lease liability' upon lease commencement in case that there is a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys to the lessee the right to use an asset for a period of time in exchange for a consideration.
The right-of-use-asset is, initially, measured at cost, consisting of the amount of the lease liability, plus any lease payments made to the lessor at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received, the initial estimate of restoration costs and any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee and, subsequently, at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. The lease liability is initially recognized at an amount equal to the present value of the lease payments during the lease term that are not yet paid.
Consequently, the typical straight line operating lease expense of operating leases under IAS 17 is replaced by the depreciation charge of the 'right-of-use-asset' and the interest expense on the 'lease liability'. The recognition of assets and liabilities by lessees, as described above, is not required for certain short term leases and leases of low value assets. The accounting treatment for lessors is not substantially affected by the requirements of IFRS 16.
In accordance with IFRS 16, at the commencement date of the lease, The Company and the Group as a lessee recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in the statement of interim financial position, initially measured at the present value of the future lease payments. The Company and the Group applies this initial measurement principle to all leases, except for those with lease term of 12 months or less - making use of the short-term leases and leases of lowvalue assets exemptions.
With regard to subsequent measurement, the Company and the Group, acting as a lessee, applies the cost model for the measurement of right-of-use asset. Accordingly, the right-of-use asset will be measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses and adjusted for the re-measurement of the lease liability.
On the other hand, interest expense is recognized on the lease liabilities, while their carrying amount is reduced to reflect the lease payments made. In case of any reassessments or lease modifications specified, the carrying amount of the lease liabilities will be re-measured to reflect revised lease payments.
For the change in the accounting principle and method, see 3d "Changes in accounting policies and methods".
The adoption of the new Standard had no impact on the Group and the Company as Lessor.
The amendment clarifies that IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments' including its impairment requirements, applies to long term interests in associates or joint ventures that form part of the entity's net investment in the associate or joint venture but are not accounted for using equity accounting.
According to the amendment, an entity should not take into account any adjustments to the carrying amount of long term interests (net investment in the associate or joint venture), resulting from the application of IAS 28 'Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures' when applying IFRS 9.
The adoption of the amendment had no impact on the condensed interim Financial Statements of the Group and the Company.
The amendment clarifies that when a change to a defined benefit plan i.e. an amendment, curtailment or settlement takes place and a re-measurement of the net defined benefit liability or asset is required, the updated actuarial assumptions from the re-measurement should be used to determine current service cost and net interest for the remainder of the reporting period after the change to the plan. Additionally, the amendment includes clarifications about the effect of a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement on the requirements regarding the asset ceiling.
The adoption of the amendment had no impact on the condensed interim Financial Statements of the Group and the Company.
The improvements introduce key changes to several standards as set out below:
The amendments to IFRS 3 'Business Combinations' and IFRS 11 'Joint Arrangements' clarified how an entity accounts for increasing its interest in a joint operation that meets the definition of a business. Specifically, when an entity obtains control of a business that is a joint operation, then the transaction constitutes a business combination achieved in stages and the acquiring party remeasures the entire previously held interest in the assets and liabilities of the joint operation at fair value. Conversely, if a party obtains joint control, of a business that is a joint operation then the previously held interest is not re-measured.
The improvement to IAS 12 'Income Taxes' clarified that all income tax consequences of dividends, including payments on financial instruments classified as equity, should be recognized in profit or loss, other comprehensive income or equity, according to where the originating transaction or event that generated distributable profits giving rise to the dividend, was recognized.
IAS 23 'Borrowing costs' amendment clarified that any borrowing originally performed to develop a qualifying asset should be treated as part of the funds that the entity borrowed generally, when substantially all of the activities necessary to prepare that asset for its intended use or sale are complete.
The adoption of the amendments had no impact on the condensed interim Financial Statements of the Group and the Company.
The following new Standards and Interpretations are effective in subsequent periods.
In March 2018, the IASB issued its revised Conceptual Framework. This replaces the previous version of the Conceptual Framework issued in 2010. Revisions performed by IASB introduced a new chapter of measurement, updated definitions of an asset/liability and recognition criteria, as well as clarifications on important areas.
The adoption of the amendments is not expected to impact the Financial Statements of the Group and the Company.
The IASB issued amendments to the definition of a business in IFRS 3 "Business Combinations" to help entities determine whether an acquired set of activities and assets is a business or not. They clarify the minimum requirements for a business, remove the assessment of whether market participants are capable of replacing any missing elements, and add guidance to help entities assess whether an acquired process is substantive, narrow the definitions of a business and of outputs, and introduce an optional fair value concentration test.
The adoption of the amendments is not expected to impact the Financial Statements of the Group and the Company.
The amendments to IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements" and IAS 8 "Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors" aim to align the definition of 'material' across the standards and to clarify certain aspects of the definition. According to the new definition an information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose Financial Statements make on the basis of those Financial Statements, which provide financial information about a specific reporting entity. The amendments clarify that materiality will depend on the nature or magnitude of information, or both.
The adoption of the amendments is not expected to impact the Financial Statements of the Group and the Company.
IFRS 17 is not relevant to the activities of the Group and the Company.
IFRS 16, which supersedes IAS 17 'Leases' and related interpretations, introduces a single, on Statement of Financial Position lease accounting model for lessees, under which the classification of leases for a lessee, as either operating leases or finance leases, is eliminated and all leases are treated similarly to finance leases under IAS 17.
Group, applied the new standard, from its mandatory adoption date, 1st January 2019. The transition method elected, is the simplified transition approach, under which, there is no restatement of the previous comparative amounts, for the year prior to the first adoption of the new standard. Exclusions permitted from the new standard, are expected to be applied, for lease contracts with duration less than 12 months, from the application date, and for lease contracts with right of use asset of low value and short-term contracts.
Due to change in accounting policy and method, captions of the Statement of Financial Position were impacted. More specifically, for the lease obligations that fall within the scope of IFRS 16, the Group recognized as at 1 January 2019: rights of use of assets € 475.482, long-term leased liabilities € 381.841 and short-term leased liabilities € 93.641 (Company: rights of use of assets € 455.357, long-term leased liabilities € 374.326 and short-term leased liabilities € 81.011) without any impact in Equity.
In accordance with IFRS 16, at the commencement date of the lease, the Company and the Group as a lessee recognized right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in the statement of interim financial position, initially measured at the present value of the future lease payments. The Company and the Group applies this initial measurement principle to all leases, except for those with lease term of 12 months or less - making use of the short-term leases and leases of lowvalue assets exemptions. The Group applied a uniform discount rate on the lease contracts portfolio that had similar characteristics.
The Company and the Group on 1 January 2019 and 30 June 2019 recognized the following rights to use leased assets:
| Buildings & | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Group | Installations | Motor Vehicles | Total |
| Balance 1 January 2019 | 277.362 | 198.120 | 475.482 |
| Balance 30 June 2019 | 248.953 | 198.427 | 447.380 |
| Buildings & | |||
| Company | Installations | Motor Vehicles | Total |
| Balance 1 January 2019 | 257.217 | 198.120 | 455.337 |
| Balance 30 June 2019 | 235.170 | 198.427 | 433.597 |
The EBITDA for the Group increased by approximately € 56.716 (Company: € 50.116). This is because operating lease payments were included in EBITDA, but the depreciation of rights of use assets and interest on lease liabilities are not included in its measurement. The above depreciation for the Group amounted to € 51.874 (Company: € 45.531), while the aforementioned interest amounted to € 8.757 (Company: € 8.542).
Regarding the subsequent measurement, the Group, acting as a lessee, will apply the cost method for measuring the rights of use of the leased assets. Therefore, the right of use leased assets will be measured at cost after deduction of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses and will be adjusted due to the revaluation of the lease liability. On the other hand, interest expense on lease liabilities will be recognized, while their carrying amount will be reduced to reflect lease payments. In the event of revaluations or amendments, the carrying amount of the lease liabilities is restated to reflect revised leases.
The table below shows the reconciliation between commitments from operating leases as disclosed in IAS.17 in the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2018, and lease liabilities recognized in accordance with IFRS 16:
The lease obligations as of 1 January 2019 can be reconciled with the operating leases of 31 December 2018 as shown below:
| (amounts in Euro thousands) | Group | Company |
|---|---|---|
| Operating lease commitments disclosed on 31.12.2018 |
521.806 | 500.906 |
| (Less): short-term leases on 1.1.2019 | 0 | 0 |
| Non-discounted lease liabilities 1.1.2019 | 521.506 | 500.906 |
| Discounted rate on 1.1.2019 | 3%-5% | 3%-5% |
| Lease liability recognized on 1.1.2019 | 475.482 | 455.337 |
The small discrepancy in the Group is due to differences in valuation of the foreign currency.
For the preparation of the Financial Statements the significant assumptions that have been adopted by the Management for the application of the accounting principles as well as the estimates for the sources of risks are the same with those that have been adopted and estimated respectively in the published annual Financial Statements for the year ended as at 31 December 2018.
