The main point of reference in this report is the consolidated financial data of the Company with reference to the Company's and the Group's individual financial data.

All amounts in this Annual Financial Report are expressed in Euro.

A. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

In the 1st Half of 2020 the Group's sales turnover had a significant decrease, given the unprecedented effects of the COVID-19 pandemic affecting all markets.

The Greek Government, in its effort to mitigate the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, introduced measures which limited the normal operations of trade, including the obligatory shutdown of many businesses. Due to the above measures imposed on retail, on March 18, 2020 our products were only available through limited distribution channels. The Company did not suspend operations and continued invoicing clients who did not cease operations but demand was significantly reduced compared to last year's demand during the same period.

In particular, while the Company showed an increase in sales turnover of +15% during the first two months of the year, the effect of the COVID-19 crisis at the end of the day for the 1st Half of 2020 had an impact of -26,3% on sales turnover in relation to 2019, which translates into a reduction of the Company's turnover by -2.859 million Euro.

The key reduction of sales turnover on a Group level is a result of the reduction of sales turnover of the Parent Company by -28,2%, with the Cyprus subsidiary clsing at a -9,9% sales turnover decrease, and the Romania subsidiary a significant increase of +57,7%. The Romanian subsidiary is in its second operative year from the commencement of its trade transactions.

The most significant figures of the Company and the Group compared to the corresponding period of 2019 are as follows:

Cash & Investments 15.864.262 13.155.459 20,59% 14.359.188 12.037.604 19,29%

The Group's turnover decreased by 26.33% compared to the same period last year and amounted to $\epsilon$ 8.0 million.

Group's gross profit margin decreased by 2,68% compared to 2019, being formed to 48,91% from 51,59%. The decrease is mainly due to an increase in the exchange rate of the Dollar against the Euro. The exchange rate was EUR 1,1020 / USD as at 30.6.2020 versus EUR 1,12960 / 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 57.73% and 66.14% respectively compared to the same period of the previous year and being formed to 12,31% for the Group and 9,87% for the Company.

The results of the Group were negatively impacted by net financial expenses of 291,000 Euros due to the negative impact bond appraisal as of 30.06.2020.

As a result, the Group's profit before tax and profit after tax for the first half of 2020 are decreased compared to the corresponding period of 2019 in absolute figures, by $\epsilon$ 1,393 thousand and $\in$ 1,491 thousand respectively.

Net Profit before Tax: The decrease in profitability compared to the previous year for the Group and the Company is attributable to

Company (A)

A. Decrease in sales volume $-1.379.728$
B. Decrease in Gross Profit Margin % $-427.553$
C. Decrease in Operating Costs 359.402
D. Increase of Financial Income $-644.215$
E. Increase in Other Income $-13.775$
F. Increase in depreciation $-13.054$
Total change in Profits before taxes $-2.118.922$
Subsidiaries Activities (B) 104.354
Total Change $(A + B)$ $-2.014.567$

The Management of the Group attributes this reduction of profits to the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic which resulted in the decreased demand of its products for the better part of the first semester of 2020.

Banking Liabilities: The status of Bank Lending as at 30.06.2020 was formulated as follows:

C. MAIN RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES FOR THE SECOND SEMESTER OF 2020

The activities of the Company and the Group are exposed to a number of risks. The main risks are described below:

  • Exchange rate risk.
  • Interest rate risk. $\bullet$
  • Risk from commodity prices fluctuations and dependence for the supply of the goods $\bullet$
  • Credit risk and liquidity risk
  • Insurance risk

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.

Exchange rate

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 2020 purchases in dollar comprised for 78% of total purchases, compared to 73% of the prior period's purchases. The value of imports in dollar (USD) is 9,28% lower than the same period last year.

The Group in the first semester of 2020 did not use financial instruments to reduce its exposure from foreign exchange risk arising from the markets.

Interest rate risk

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 30.6.2020.

Risk from commodity prices fluctuations and dependence for the supply of the goods.

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.

Credit risk and liquidity risk

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 quarantees 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 30.06.2020 30.06.2019
Current Assets / Short Term Liabilities 1036.4% 495.9%
COMPANY 30.06.2020 30.06.2019
Current Assets / Short Term Liabilities 1020.3% 490.8%

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.

Insurance Risk

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.

Other risks

The demand of Company's products is affected by external factors such as economic uncertainty, reduced consumption and consumer's 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.

D. PERSPECTIVES FOR THE SECOND SEMESTER OF 2020

The first months of 2020 displayed as previously stated an increase in sales turnover of approximately 15% when compared with the corresponding period of 2019, a trend which came to a halt by mid March 2020.

During these difficult times the safeguarding of the Company's liquidity and maintaining of profitable results is one of Management's basic concerns.

The Group continues to use modern methods of social media, merchandising and promotion in order to develop its products.

Meanwhile, there is also a significant shift towards developing our customer's on-line sales by committed promotion digital activities.

If the market conditions are not worse than the $1st$ Half of 2020 then we expect some improvement in the $2^{nd}$ Half of 2020 in relation to the $1^{st}$ half.

The contribution of the subsidiaries to the consolidated financial standing of the Group, are expected to be positive, with the impact of Covid-19 being limited and in lower levels than those of the parent company.

In this uncertain environment. Management shall continue to have a dual role: On the one hand, to care for the safety of its employees, business partners and customers, and on the other hand, to try and strategically increase market share via continuous search of new business opportunities and high demand products.

The Covid-19 pandemic continues to have a negative impact on the financial and corporate world.

The Group keeps a close eye on all new issues that may arise from the COVID-19 pandemic, aiming to respond to new customer trends and adapt to the new challenges stemming from the Covid-19 pandemic. Due to the prolonged uncertainty of the pandemic, no safe estimations of the effects of the pandemic on a macroeconomic level and consumption can be made.

The total effect of the pandemic to the standings of the Group depends on its spread and duration. These two factors will determine what the final impact this pandemic will have on the world economy as we know it. Management's initial assessment on sales turnover for the year expected a -30% impact but due to the fact that experts await a second wave of the pandemic, no assessment for the annual turnover is possible at this given point in time.

Management, despite the present uncertainty, believes that the Company shall succeed in overcoming many obstacles the COVID-19 crisis may bring because:

  • The Company maintains strong liquidity as of 31.08.2020 its reserves and bond investments totaled approximately EUR 15.960 th.
  • The Group is able to fully cover its obligations since the acid ratio remains at very high levels $\blacksquare$ (31.12.2018: 4,0, 31.12.2019: 4,6 and 30.06.2020: 8,6). At 31.12.2019 the working capital was EUR 24.6 mil, for the Company and EUR 26 mil, for the Group, while the respective numbers at 30.06.2020 were EUR 24,8 mil. for the Company and EUR 26,5 mil. for the Group.
  • There are no banking loans. $\bullet$
  • There are bank credit limits available, which may be used in case it is deemed necessary.
  • To the best knowledge of Management's knowledge they do not expect any bad debts from $\bullet$ customers to arise.
  • The Company has at its disposal Strategic Partners/Suppliers with global standing.
  • The crisis in China has not affected the supply chain of the Company and the Group, neither are there any major issues expected regarding the supply chain of the Company in respect of merchandise from the factories of China.
  • The inventory of the Company can reciprocate to the needs of the market and the necessary $\bullet$ predictions regarding obsolete and slow moving products have been made.
  • The ties of the Company with the entirety of its personnel (Management and Employees) are $\bullet$ especially strong.

MANAGING THE EFFECTS OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

The Management of the Company, in light of all these developments, has established the following protocols:

Employees, Affiliates, Customers and Computer system safety.

Through the directions & guidelines of the competent Authorities, as well as experts, all the necessary measures have been adopted.

Supply chain. We are in constant touch with the Suppliers and our Strategic Partners in order to deliver the second semester of 2020 orders timely and orderly, so as to ensure the highest possible level of satisfaction.

Keeping operating costs low. A plan has been implemented in order to reduce the Company's operating costs. The Company can, if it chooses to do so, exercise their legal rights provided by COIVD-19 corporate support, as these are mentioned in the Decrees that are in force, or shall come into force.

E. CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

At AS Company, the safety and quality of its products are the basic principles concerning the function of the Company and its subsidiaries. The course of the Group has been built upon them, and they are foundations for its future strategy. These values are even more important in a Group engaged with children and their amusement.

In practice, that means that the toys of AS are equipped with safety and quality guarantees in order to provide hours of fun and enjoyment to kids and parents. The Quality Assurance division is responsible for controlling and maintaining the necessary safety and quality in our products. We cooperate with certified independent quality and safety assurance laboratories, known worldwide. Our Customer Service division takes care for the immediate handling of all received inquiries. taking always into account the family and its needs regarding children and toys.

Furthermore, AS Company, through a program of Corporate Social Responsibility, launches actions and initiatives for the support of sensitive parts of the public. In that framework, we created a campaign called "Leave the screen down" with the hashtag #asekatotinothoni in order to promote parents in taking a much more active role, setting boundaries to protect children from the dangers of screen exposure. Through that campaign, the company donated a part of its board game sales to organizations engaged with preventing and dealing with internet perils. In particular, AS supports the NGO "DIADRASIS", the operations of a specialized rehabilitation center for children and teenagers addicted to electronic devices, the children psychology ward of Ippokrateion hospital of Thessaloniki, as well as the Hackathon Athens program of the Teenager Health Ward of the Second Children Clinic of the University of Athens Children Hospital "P & A Kyriakou".

Furthermore, AS encourages and promotes education though creative play. In particular, the Company supports the Model Center of Special Education "Charismatika Paidia" (Gifted Children). offering its educative toys in support of their teaching methods. They aim to discover and develop each child's gifts, while developing the skills each child has fallen behind.

Finally, AS donates products all year round, supporting organizations and clubs, such as "To Chamogelo tou Paidiou" (The Children's Smile), "Make A Wish", as well as other local organizations, which support through their actions children and families.

F. ENVIRONMENTAL AND WORK ISSUES

The Group is not involved in the actual manufacturing of its products in the corresponding countries they operate in. The Groups operating structure does not hinder in any way the environment. The Group believes that the overall management and protection of our ecosystem is of utmost importance and our duty to be as environmentally friendly as possible.

In 2020. AS made available the products of the collection "Play for future" of Clementoni, made from recyclable and recycled materials, exhibiting its commitment for responsible and sustainable products.

Furthermore, in cooperation with the NGO "A children counting stars", we collect plastic caps in our facilities, helping mitigate their environmental footprint, while supporting groups of people with motor problems.

Our aim is to combine corporate targets with a wider contribution to sustainable development. responding to the needs of the customers as well. AS creates a way towards a sustainable future, for children and families, all while respecting the environment.

The taxes of the year for the Company and the Group on 30 June 2020 and 30 June 2019 are analyzed as follows:

Group Company
Account description 01.01 to
30.06.2020
$1.01$ to
30.06.2019
1.01 to
30.06.2020

Income tax for the year 161.118 584.167 138.712 567.979

$-88,484$ 89.310 $-88.484$ 89,310
72.634 694.211 50.228 678.023

The real tax rate for the current period is 24%, while in the corresponding comparable period the tax rate was 29%, mainly due to changes in the tax legislation.

The income tax rate for legal entities' business activities in Greece is 24% (the tax rate last year was 28%), while the tax rates in the countries where the Group is active fluctuate from 12,5% up to 16,0%.

The Company has received certificates of tax compliance with the consent of the certified auditor for each year from 2011 to 2018 in accordance with the Greek tax legislation (2011-2013 in accordance with the provisions of article 82 of Law 2238/1994 and 2014-2017 according to the provisions of article 65A of Law 4174/2013)). The Company does not expect for any additional taxes and surcharges to arise in the framework of the Greek tax authorities audits for the years 2014 to 2019. Furthermore, according to risk analysis criteria, the Greek tax authorities may choose the Company for tax audit on the basis of audits occurring to companies with certificates of tax compliance with the consent of the certified auditor. In that case, the Greek tax authorities are allowed to audit for the fiscal years they choose, while taking into account the work done for

the issuance of the tax compliance certificate. The Company has not received any audit mandate from the tax authorities for the years 2014 to 2019.

It should be noted that at 31.12.2019 the fiscal years up to 31.12.2013 were written-off pursuant to the provisions of par. 1 art. 36 of Law 4174/2013.

For the fiscal year 2019 the tax audit is under way and the Management does not expect a substantial change of that year's tax liabilities. The audit shall be completed after the release of that year's financial statement. Upon that audit's completion, the Management of the Company does not expect for any other tax liabilities to arise, other than those presented in the Financial Statements.

The Group projects upon any additional tax liabilities which shall arise from future tax audits to the extent that those liabilities are probable and may be adequately assessed.

The unaudited tax years of the Group are analyzed as follows:

Company Headquarters Unaudited tax years
AS COMPANY S.A. Greece 2019
AS COMPANY CYPRUS LTD. Cyprus $2016 - 2019$
AS KIDS S.R.L. Romania $2018 - 2019$

We estimate that in case of a tax audit of the subsidiaries in Cyprus and Romania, any additional tax liabilities that may arise, will not have any material effect on the Financial Statements.
