B. INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Shareholders of AUTOHELLAS ATEE

Report on the Audit of the Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the separate and consolidated financial statements of AUTOHELLAS ATEE (the "Company"), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2017, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. In our opinion, the accompanying separate and consolidated financial statements present fairly in all material respects the financial position of the company and the group as at 31 December 2017 and their financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as endorsed by the European Union.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs), as incorporated in Greek Law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We remained independent of the group throughout the period of our appointment in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code), as incorporated in Greek Law, together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to the audit of the financial statements in Greece, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters and the related risks of material misstatement, were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. The issues listed below were considered to be material to the financial statements because of their high value and complexity.

Key audit matter 1

Property's fair value (Notes 5, 7 and 27 of the financial statements )

The financial statements include property (self occupied and investment property) of total fair value 121.755.359,76 euros. Total losses from property's remeasurement in the period that have been recognized in the profit and loss account and in other comprehensive income amounted to 864.526,85 euros. Property is measured at fair value by independent valuers. Our audit was focused on the procedures followed and controls used by the management for monitoring the assets as well as on the assumptions and imputs used by valuers in order to determine their fair values.

Key audit matter 2

Related parties (Notes 2, 3.3, 3.4, 8, 9 and 34 of the financial statements)

Our audit in connection to related parties was focused on internal controls used by the management for effective monitoring of related parties, and particularly the detection of related parties, the methods of consolidation (ful consolidation and equity method), as well as the accuracy and completeness of notes concerning the related parties.

Other information

Annual Financial Statements 2017

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information, included in the Annual Report, comprises of the Board of Directors Report (for which reference is also made in section Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements), the Statements of the Members of the Board of Directors, and other complementary information, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the 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 financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as endorsed by the European Union, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the company'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 management either intends to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 incorporated in 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 financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, as incorporated in 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 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 internal control.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of management's 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 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 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 to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the 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 company to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the company's 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.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

1. Board of Directors' Report

Following the Extraordinary General Meeting decision of 06.09.2017, the Company announced that on 22 December 2017 the acquisition of control of 70% of the companies "AUTODEAL P&R DAVARI SA" (KIA) and "HYUNDAI HELLAS P&R DAVARI SA" (HYUNDAI) was completed through the participation of DERASCO TRADING LIMITED in the share capital increase of these, a company which is 100% subsidiary of the Company.

The total participation in the above share capital increases amounts to twenty million euros (€ 20,000,000). This investment will enable the Companies to maintain and strengthen their internal organization, further improve customer service, and support and develop their network.

The share capital increases of AUTODEAL and HYUNDAI took place within the framework of the restructuring agreements of above companies dated 28.12.2016, which were validated by the decisions 633/2017 and 632/2017 of the Multi Member First Instance Court of Athens respectively. Upon completion of the aforementioned transaction, total past bank liabilities of the two companies were limited to € 20 million.

This investment enriches and significantly enhances the product portfolio and the potential of AUTOHELLAS Group's penetration into the car market. A market that has suffered and has been significantly reduced, more than 70%, during the Greek economic crisis, but which with the gradual stabilization of the economy can have significant growth in the future.

RISK MANAGEMENT

Exchange Rate Risk

The Group, via its subsidiaries, is operating in Bulgaria, Romania, the Republic of Serbia and in Montenegro as far as the Balkan countries are concerned, while also maintaining operations in Cyprus, Ukraine and Croatia. The existing operations of the Group abroad refer both in short-term and long-term leases. Due to these operations, the Group transacts with clients and suppliers and holds assets and liabilities which are expressed in different currencies than the Euro, which is the reporting currency of the Group. More specifically, the Group's subsidiaries in Romania, the Republic of Serbia, Croatia and Ukraine have liabilities/assets in RON, RSD, HRK and UAH respectively. However, these subsidiaries do not expose the Group into a material exchange rate risk due to their size and the currencies that they use.

Interest rate risk

For the majority of its loans, the Group faces floating interest rates. It is noted that the Company does not have interest-rate derivatives to hedge interest rate risk for floating interest rate loans (Euribor).

Credit Risk

Company does not have any substantial credit risk. Retail sales are mainly made through credit cards and to a small extent in cash. Wholesales take place only after a thorough check on the customer's financial reliability has been conducted, and in most cases advance payments or guarantees are obtained. In addition, the company pays close attention to its credit collection period and acts accordingly. Potential credit risk does exist in the company's available cash, but the company uses recognized financial institutes for its deposits. In addition, the company keeps higher loan liabilities in these institutes than its deposits.

Market Price Risk

With regard to Market Price Risk, as of 31/12/2017 the Group was exposed to the fluctuation Risk of the stock price of Aegean Airlines S.A. For 2017, there was a positive effect of € 15,990,735.36 on other comprehensive income of the company. Moreover, Aegean Airlines growth potential should be considered obvious due to its leading industry position.

The company is also exposed in used car price reduction risk. The Group's ability to sell its used car fleet could be reduced due to several reasons, including the macroeconomic environment, changes in the operational model of the Rent a Car sector, regulatory changes (such as changes in taxation, in environmental frameworks, as well as an over-supply of new cars in the market), that will result in a reduction towards the demand of used cars, the subsequent reduction in prices and eventually the value of used cars of the company itself. The company faced and continues to face the risk of lower prices by a higher average fleet age, a strategy that is also used by other companies operating in the sector.

Finally, both the group and the company are exposed in property value changes. During the first semester of 2008 there has been a change in the valuation method of the company's property which are no longer valued based on their historical cost but on their fair value. As a result, changes in the real estate market prices will have an effect in fair values. In the end of 2010 the company revalued its property and no decrease in total value has been recorded. In fiscal year 2012 property was revalued and significant losses of € 16.504.166,09 were recorded. Finally, in 2013 there was another revaluation of the company's property and an additional loss of € 4,534,016.30 has been reported. In the beginning of fiscal year 2017, a revaluation of the investment properties took place with no derived changes. Finally, in 2017 there was another revaluation of the company's investment properties from which an additional profit of € 1,583,597.92 has been reported. Also, a revaluation concerning the company's own-occupied properties has taken place with a reported loss of € 2,218,564.33.

Sales Seasonality

Rent-a-car sales (short – term rentals) are traditionally extremely seasonable, as they depend heavily on tourist arrivals. It is indicative that 57% of total sales in Greece, is generated during the July – September period while this figure for the foreign countries stands at 41%. As a result, short – term sales can be affected substantially by events that have an impact on the tourism market, especially if such events take place at the beginning of the season. Moreover, the Group renews or expands its fleet based on expected demand and especially on seasonal demand, financing this fleet renewal through either its own or foreign capital.

However, long-term rentals, which account for 55% of the total turnover and are distributed through the year, have a smoothing effect on overall seasonality of sales.

DEVIATIONS FROM THE CORPORATE GOVERNANCE CODE AND THEIR JUSTIFICATION

The Company has followed practices which deviated from corporate governance code in the cases mentioned below.

  • o The Board of Directors has not established a separate committee, which prepares proposals for the Board of Directors, regarding compensations for the Board of Directors members and top management.
  • o Each elected Board of Directors serves for 5 years and does not, in majority, consist of non-executive members. It consists of 6 executive members and three independent non-executive members. With this balance the efficient and productive operation has been ensured during previous years.
  • o There is no obligation of any disclosure of professional commitments of Board of Directors members (including important non-executive commitments to companies and non-profit institutions) before their appointment to the board, or restriction on the number of Boards of listed companies in which they can participate, as long as all board members can meet their duties, devote sufficient time to them and keep abreast of developments in the matters relating to their duties.
  • o The appointment of an executive member to a company that is not either a subsidiary or a related party does not require an approval by the board.
  • o There is no committee for selecting candidates for the Board of Directors, as due to the structure and operation of the Company this committee is not considered as necessary at this time.
  • o In the beginning of each calendar year the Board of Directors does not adopt a meetings calendar and a 12-month program of action, as the convergence and the meeting of the Board is easy, when the needs of the Company or the law render it necessary, without a predetermined plan of action.
  • o There are no introductory programs in place by the Board of Directors for new board members, or continuing professional training for other members, as only individuals with proven expertise and management skills are proposed for election as members.

  • o There is no institutional procedure to evaluate the effectiveness of the Board of Directors and its committees.

  • o Board of Directors does not perform an annual evaluation of the internal audit procedures as the Audit Committee reviews and reports to the Board of Directors on the internal Audit's Annual Report.

D. PROSPECTS

The operating leasing segment presented in 2017 dynamic growth with the company strengthening its position and enlarging its market share. The momentum in early 2018 is positive, and the macroeconomic variables are expected to further improve during the year, an outcome that will boost business in general and, as a consequence, fleet management as well.

In the Rent-a-Car business - an industry highly correlated with tourism –2018 is expected to be another year of growth as Greece appears to be in high regard as a destination for tourists, a fact that is also supported by early 2018 reservation data. Autohellas's goal is to improve the fleet's utilization rate during the year, to make effective use of new vehicle categories in order to improve fleet mix and, of course, to leverage its excellent infrastructure of car rental & support stations to reduce cost per unit. Critical to all of the above objectives is the continuous investment in further staff training.

The country's stabilization and a gradual, albeit anemic, return to growth is expected to contribute positively to figures. A constant challenge is the reduction of financial costs, an aspect in which small but steady steps are taking place, resulting in the cost disadvantage, compared to major international competitors, gradually being mitigated. As a conclusion, we expect increased sizes, with intense however competition.

Our engagement in the vehicle retail sales industry has produced results, mainly through achieving economies of scale, cost savings and more efficient use of our facilities. In the import / distribution (wholesale) segment, with the addition to its turnover, as of 1 January 2018, of the two major brands of Hyundai and Kia, free from the majority of their bank liabilities, the Group's portfolio is strongly enriched with significant potential for contribution to operating profitability over a three-year period, as at the same time the car market will gradually recover from the historic lows of the financial crisis. On top of that, important synergies will arise from the enhanced capability of used car sales.

In Bulgaria, prospects for 2018 remain positive as the country is growing over recent years. In the area of longterm rentals, an increase in the number of customers and in the active fleet is expected, due to the expected increase in long-term corporate rentals as the market focuses on this solution during recent years. Short-term rentals are expected to be driven to higher levels, due to the strengthening of the corporate rentals from the domestic market and from the expected revenue growth of coastal stations such as Varna, Burgas and Plovdiv.

In Cyprus, expectations are very positive with the economy still growing in 2018 and an expected significant increase in tourism. The company's aim is to achieve for another year a large increase in short-term rentals business through the establishment of cooperation with international tour operators. The company also expects to attract an even larger market share in long-term rentals, a factor that will significantly increase its revenues.

In Romania, both the economic and the corporate landscape of the country exhibit significant signs of recovery over the recent years and overall prospects of the company remain very positive. The upward trend in profits is expected to continue, with the main driver being the significant expansion of long-term rentals fleet. We look forward to signing agreements with strong multinational companies but also with a large number of SME's. Short-term rentals will record even better results, due to the significant rise in corporate bookings.

In Serbia for 2018 we are looking forward to strengthening our leading position in long-term leases. The company intends to continue leasing agreements with multinational and local companies with positive economic figures. Moreover, revenue growth from long-term rentals is expected to continue to rise, with enhanced clientele, along with an increase in corporate short-term rentals.

In Montenegro, an increase in arrivals is expected for 2018 resulting to the country's significant tourism development for another year, due to the favorable international environment. Our company looks forward to strengthening its leadership position in both the business of short term rentals and long-term leases.

In Croatia, the consistently increasing growth rate of tourism of the country in conjunction with the favorable international environment, imply a positive outlook for 2018. The company expects to undertake a significant market share in the short-term rental business with a simultaneous presence in the long-term rentals market.

In Ukraine, despite the relative instability of the past, the expected accession processes in the EU combined with the size and the special geopolitical position of the country, provide a long-term growth prospect.

We pay special attention to maintaining jobs, choosing honest employees, monitoring the degree of their satisfaction, evaluating their performace correctly and objectively, taking care of health and safety at the work environment and training them.

COMPANY POLICIES

Training

Our human resources is one of the key investments to achieve our business objectives. Autohellas S.A. implements a number of training programs and fully understands the role of continuous and effective training of employees for the implementation of corporate strategy and long-term business success.

The main subjects of employee training were technical issues and sales.

Health and Safety

ENVIRONMENT

MAIN RISKS/EFFECTS RELATED TO ENVIRONMENT, WHICH ARE RELATED WITH OPERATIONS OF THE COMPANY

In Autohellas SA our goal is to offer the best quality service to our clients while consuming as few resources as possible. We understand sustainable development, as an attempt to build a more competitive and low emission economy which makes efficient use of resources, taking into account environmental protection. Applying environmental friendly policies and procedures across the range of our activities, particularly in terms of recycling and environmental management, we strive to reduce our environmental footprint proving our commitment to sustainable development with transparency and accountability.

CORPORATE POLICIES

Our company embraces the concept of sustainable development, as developed at the 2002 UN Declaration on Africa (Johannesburg Declaration on Sustainable Development) and the concept of environmental awareness as developed in the Declaration on Environment and Development in 1992. In addition, all EU and Greek regulations on environmental protection and waste management, are systematically controlled and integrated into our processes and our business planning. Through our environmental policy, we do not limit ourselves to the adoption of best "green" practices, but expand in customer awareness and environmental protection campaigns. In detail, the measures we implement are presented below:

  • Maintain a fleet with low average age. The newer, and therefore more technologically advanced cars, emit fewer grams of carbon dioxide compared with the older generation ones thus significantly reducing our environmental footprint as a company.
  • Through the "Become a Green Driver!" program, which is systematically promoted in our website and upon delivery of cars to the customers, we provide advice to drivers for smart eco-driving. The goal of the program is to encourage drivers to drive in such way as to reduce the environmental impact through reduced fuel consumption and reduced emissions.
  • Recycling of materials and supplies. Waste and trash associated with the operation of the stations and central offices such as paper, toner and household batteries, are recycled regularly helping to reduce our direct environmental impact.
  • Increased participation of Eco-friendly vehicles to our fleet. On our website, we present the Eco-friendly cars which our customers can choose resulting in a reduction of the indirect environmental footprint caused by using our vehicles.

RESULTS OF SUCH POLICIES AND KEY NON-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

  • Average emission per car follows a downward trend since 2014 due to the usage of eco-friendly cars and the low average fleet age.
  • The company's fleet consists of eco-friendly cars to a percentage that reached 47.8% in 2017, versus that of 43.6% in 2016.
  • Average fleet age reaches just two years (24.7 months from 25.0 in 2016).

SOCIETY

MAIN RISKS/EFFECTS RELATED TO SOCIETY, WHICH ARE RELATED WITH OPERATIONS OF THE COMPANY

As social responsibility forms an integral part of the culture of the Company, it is our duty to contribute to society in every possible way. With our social contribution, multiple benefits for tourism, employment, local communities and government revenue arise.

CORPORATE POLICIES

Through donations and sponsorships we support the sensitive and socially vulnerable groups. Among others for 2017, examples of this social contribution are donations towards the Center for Individuals with Special Needs "Hara", the "Smile of the Child", Corfu's orphanage.

Our company actively supports cultural heritage of the country through donations and sponsorships, among others, through occasional sponsorships to films with subjects like Greek History and Biographies, the most recent movie/biography being the "Nikos Kazantzakis".

Supporting the local community is confirmed by the annual cost and labor coverage for the repair of part of the fleet of Greek Police and donations to the Economic Police & Electronic Crime Police from 2012 until today, as well as contributions to the Municipality of Kifissia.

Promoting sports

Autohellas SA sponsors BC Kifissia in A1 Basketball, official supporter of BC Psichiko in A2 Basketball League and was a proud supporter of the Greek Olympic Team and 'Ellada Mporeis' program.

In our Customer Service Department, customers can contact us every day, either by phone or via the electronic contact form on our website. The call center of our company, operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and can handle reservations and customer requests at any time. Finally, we maintain an open dialogue with the community via social media, answering and informing immediately on all developments and news concerning the company.

RESULTS OF SUCH POLICIES AND KEY NON-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

ΑΝΤΙ-CORRUPTION AND BRIBERY

We emphasize that corruption and bribery are not acceptable in our company. Management involvement for the successful implementation of the policies is direct and substantial and thereby we achieve our goal.

The Group has provided for and has implemented active control mechanisms and procedures which are maintained in their entirety to prevent and combat corruption. Internal controls are in place, the code of ethics is implemented as long with principles of corporate governance.

A risk assessment procedure has been established in which new and existing risks are prioritized. Based on the results of the ranking, relevant procedures are designed, with safeguards designed to prevent risks occurring, such as participation in corruption instances. The additional measures in place to prevent such occurrences emphasize on security and access issues of information systems, clear and adequate segregation of duties among employees, credit limits, absolute transparency in selecting suppliers, protect corporate assets, ensure transactions and protection of personal data.

RESULTS OF SUCH POLICIES AND KEY NON-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

Cases of corruption or claims for possible bribery, embezzlement, fraud or unethical behavior have not been recorded nor reported.

With the above information, the auditors' report, as well as the annual financial statements of December 31st 2017, we believe you have at your disposal all the necessary documentation to proceed with the approval of the annual Financial Statements for the fiscal year ending on December 31st 2017 and to disengage the Board of Directors and the auditors from all responsibility.

3.3. Consolidation – Subsidiaries and Associates valuation

The accounting policy used for the consolidation is the acquisition method. The acquisition cost of a subsidiary is the fair value of the assets given, the shares issued and the liabilities undertaken on the date of the acquisition. The individual assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that are acquired during a business combination are valued during the acquisition at their fair value regardless of the participation percentage. The acquisition cost over and above the fair value of the individual assets acquired, is accounted as goodwill. If the total acquisition cost is lower than the fair value of the individual assets acquired, the difference is immediately charged to the Income Statement..

Intracompany transactions, balances and unrealized profits between Group Companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated as long as there is no indication of impairment of the transferred asset. The accounting policies of the subsidiaries conform to the ones adopted by the Group.

Associates are companies on which the Group can exert significant influence (but not control), with participation percentages lying between 20% and 50% of the company's voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method. Initially they are recognized at cost. The line investment in associates includes the goodwill less any impairment losses.

The Group's share in the profits or losses of associate companies after the acquisition is recognized in the income statement, while the share of changes in reserves after the acquisition is recognized in the reserves. All these changes affect the book value of the investments. In case the Group's share in the losses of an associate is equal to its participation in the associate no further losses are recognized, unless further commitments have been made on behalf of the associate.

Investment in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, are measured at cost less any impairment losses in the company standalone financial statements.

3.4. Operating Segments

  • The Group operates in three segments, car rental and car & spare parts trade and services in Greece and car rental abroad.
  • The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as the ones described in the significant accounting policies of the annual financial statements.
  • The efficiency of the segments is measured on the basis of earnings after taxes.
  • Operating segments are strategic units that offer car rental and car sales services in different economic environments and are therefore separately monitored by the Board of Directors.

The short term rentals refer to a great extent (regarding Greece) to foreign tourists visiting the country during the summer period. As a result, historically over 57% of total short term revenues are generated during July - September. Hence, it is inevitable that, despite the large contribution of long term rentals to the total revenue and their stability, short term rentals seasonality driving the total revenue and earnings of Autohellas in larger figures during summer months and lower during the first and last months of the year. At the same time, this seasonality is addressed by recruiting seasonal staff and by making fleet purchases and sales before and at the end of the season respectively. On the other hand, it is a fact that rents, administrative personnel and other similar expenses do remain stable throughout the year.

3.5. Tangible Assets

Own occupied tangible assets are measured in their revalued (fair) values, every 3 to 5 years. Depreciation is calculated on the revalued amount. Cost includes all costs necessary to bring the asset to working condition for its intended use. Land is not depreciated. All other tangible assets are measured on cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation rates are as follows:

Vehicles 6 – 9 Years
Buildings 30 – 35 Years
Machinery and Equipment 6 – 10 Years
IT Equipment 3 – 5 Years
Other Equipment 5 Years

Vehicle residual values are being calculated based on their current values.

Derivatives that do not meet the hedge accounting criteria are measured at fair value through profit or loss.

3.9. Hedging

Derivatives that fulfill the criteria for cash flow hedging are valued in fair value. Any changes in fair value that relate to a hedging are recognized as reserve in fair value through the other comprehensive income and are transferred in profit or loss at the time when cash flow of hedged items affect the results. The ineffective portion of the hedge is recognized immediately in the Income Statement. Hedging effectiveness monitoring (retrospective and prospective) is carried out in each reporting date.

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Inventory cost is determined for the new and used cars using the method of unit cost and for spare parts using the weighted average method.

3.11. Trade Receivables

Trade receivables are initially measured at fair value which is equal to their nominal value less any impairment losses. Impairment losses (losses from doubtful receivables) are recognized when there is objective evidence that the Group is in no position to collect all relevant amounts owed based on contractual terms. The impairment loss amount is calculated as the difference between the receivables book value and the expected future cash flow. Impairment losses are recognized as an expense in the Income Statement.

Direct expenses incurred for the issuance of shares for the acquisition of companies are included in the acquisition cost of the company.

The cost of acquiring own shares, less the relevant tax, is reported as a negative balance within shareholders equity, until own shares are sold or canceled. Any profit or loss from sale of treasury shares (after deducting the relevant costs), is reported as equity reserve.

3.15. Borrowings

Borrowings are initially measured in fair value, less any direct transaction costs. Subsequently they are measured on amortised cost using the effective interest rate.

3.16. Deferred Tax

Deferred tax is calculated as the liability resulting from the temporary differences between the book value and the tax base of assets or liabilities.. Deferred tax is calculated on the tax rates that are expected to be in effect during the period in which the asset or liability will regain its book value. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that there will be future tax profits to be set against the temporary differences which create the deferred tax assets.

3.17. Employee Benefits

(α) Short term benefits

Short term employee benefits in cash and in kind are recognized as an expense when they accrue.

(β) Post-employment benefits

Post-employment benefits include defined contribution schemes as well as defined benefit schemes. The accrued cost of defined contribution schemes is charged as an expense in the period it relates to.

The liability reported on the balance sheet in respect to defined benefit schemes is the present value of the liability for the defined benefit.

(b) Revenue from car sales

Revenue from car sales is recognized when risks and rewards associated with the ownership of the cars, are transferred to the buyer.

(c) Interest Income

Interest Income is recognized on a pro-rata basis using the effective interest rate.

(d) Dividends

Dividends are accounted as revenue, when the right to receive payment is established, in other words on the date the dividends are declared and approved.

3.20. Leases (Group as Lessor)

Leases of tangible assets, owned by the Group, for which all the risks and rewards are transferred, are accounted for as financial leases.

Financial risk factors

(a) Credit Risk

Wholesales are conducted only after a thorough audit on the customer's financial reliability has been conducted and often advance payments or guarantees are obtained. In addition, the company pays close attention to its credit collection period and acts accordingly. Potential credit risk does exist in the company's available cash, but the company uses recognized and high rated financial institutes for its deposits. In addition the company keeps higher loan liabilities in these institutes than its deposits.

(b) Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is kept in very low levels due to the company's sufficient credit limits.

(c) Cash flow Risk and risk of fair value fluctuations due to change in interest rates. It is noted that the Company does not have interest-rate derivatives to hedge interest rate risk for floating interest rate loans (Euribor).

3.23. Critical Accounting Judgements

The most important judgement from the company's management for the application of the accounting policies regards the assessment of the vehicles residual value. A moderate decrease in the residual values would result a major decrease in net income as well as the book value of the vehicles in the following fiscal year, by amounts that are not easy to estimate due to the current market volatility and the large number of different vehicles. Nevertheless, during 2017 prices showed some stabilization and a profit of € 13.571.931,58 for the Group and € 9.973.057,25 for the Company was reported.

4. Capital Management

  • 4.1. The company's policy as far as capital management is concerned is:
  • To ensure the company's ability to continue uninterrupted its activities.
  • To ensure a satisfactory return to its shareholders, by pricing the services affected in relation to the cost and always looking after its capital structure management.

Management is constantly monitoring the relation between equity and debt. In order for the company to achieve the desirable structure, the company may adjust the dividend, decide to return capital, or issue new shares.

COMPANY 31/12/2017 31/12/2016
Equity 180,612,424.42 156,864,818.71
Total Debt 310,633,292.51 255,658,858.89

Debt/Equity 1.49 1.33

The company aims in achieving a ratio over 1 and up to 2.

  • 4.2. There are certain limitations regarding equity, deriving from current Societe Anonym legislation and in particular from Law 2190/1920. The limitations are:
  • The purchase of own shares with the exception of purchasing shares with sole purpose to be distributed among its´ employees cannot exceed 10% of the company's share capital and cannot result in the reduction of equity to an amount less than the amount of the share capital increased by the reserves, for which distribution is forbidden by law.
  • In case where total equity becomes smaller than ½ of the share capital, Board of Directors is obliged to call up a General Assembly within a period of six months past the end of the fiscal period, in order to decide on the dissolution of the company or to take other measures.
  • When the company's equity becomes less than 1/10th of the share capital and the general shareholders meeting does not take the proper measures, the company may be dissolved by court order, on the request of anyone with a legal interest.
  • Annually, at least 1/20th of the company's net profit is deducted to form a statutory reserve, which will be used exclusively to balance, prior to any dividend distribution, the debit balance in Income Statement. Forming such a reserve is not obligatory, once it reaches 1/3rd of the company's share capital.

The payment of an annual dividend to shareholders in cash, at an amount equal to at least 35% of the company's net earnings, after deducting the statutory reserve and the net result from the valuation of the company's assets and liabilities at fair value, is obligatory. The above does not apply if the general assembly decides it by a majority of at least 65% of the paid-up share capital. In this case, dividend that hasn't been distributed and up to an amount equal to 35% of the above mentioned net earnings, has to be reported as a "Reserve to be Capitalized", within 4 years' time by an issue of new shares, given to eligible shareholders. Finally, a general shareholders meeting can decide not to distribute dividend, if it is decided by a majority of over 70% of the paid-up share capital.

4.3 The Company is in compliance with all obligations deriving from all relevant provisions and regulations relating to Equity.

ANTERRA DOO was the national franchisee of Hertz Int. in Croatia. Given the significant country prospects in the tourism sector, and hence the shortterm rental market, and at the same time in the long-term rental sector, the GROUP decided its expansion in the country, increasing its size and looking for growth outside of Greece.

On 22.12.2017, the Company proceeded with the acquisition of DERASCO TRADING LIMITED by paying the amount of € 1,000. It then proceeded to the increase of the share capital of DERASCO TRADING LIMITED, in the amount of € 20,000,000 with the purpose of acquiring control of 70% of the companies HYUNDAI HELLAS P&R DAVARI SA and AUTODEAL P&R DAVARI SA through the participation of DERASCO to the share capital increases of these companies. Acquisition date of these companies is the 31.12.2017. The companies were consolidated at the balance sheet date as at 31/12/2017, without having any effect on turnover and earnings due to the fact that there was no significant variation in this period. The valuation of net assets acquired and the resulting goodwill is provisional due to the narrow timeframe and will be finalized within 2018. Τhis acquisition strengthens the position of the company in the retail car market, making it one of the leading companies in the sector. Τhe temporary value of goodwill was attributed to the sector of car and spare parts trade and services in Greece. The impairment test carried out did not result in any losses. Τhese provisional values of the acquisition cost and the relative amounts of the companies turnover and earnings, if the acquisition had been made since the beginning of the year 2017, are as follows:

The group monitors the balance of receivables and makes provisions for doubtful debts, if collection is considered unlikely. To recognize a possible incapability of collection the group considers the aging of the balance (over one year), default events of the debtor or other objective reasons that would make the debtor incapable of meeting his payments. Also considered as bad debt, are the full amounts that are under legal dispute despite any possible partial collection. As a general rule, the Company will begin legal procedures against receivables that are older than 3 months and only if the claim justifies the cost of legal action. There are no claims for which no impairment has occurred. Fair value of the receivables is almost identical to their book value. The fair values of the receivables are approximately the same as their book values.

The maximum credit risk exposure is € 35,303,343.97 for the Group and € 13,176,664.51 for the Company in 2017 and € 24,390,159.43 for the Group and € 18,696,314.17 for the Company in 2016.

Company establishes provisions for taxes that may arise from the non-audited fiscal years based on its experience. Provisions as at 31.12.2017 amount to € 118.801,80 for the group and the company.

Regarding the Parent Company and the subsidiaries based in Greece, the years 2011 to 2016 have been audited by the elected by Κ.Ν. 2190/1920, in accordance with article 82 of L. 2238/1994 and article 65A of Law 4771/13, and the relevant tax compliance reports. According to POL. 1006/05.01.2016, companies who submitted a tax compliance report without remarks for tax violations are not excluded from conducting a regular tax audit by tax authorities. Therefore, it is possible that tax authorities will demand to conduct their tax audit on the company's books. However, the

Company's management estimates that the results from potential regular tax audits from tax authorities, if conducted, will not have a significant effect on the company's financial position. Similarly, the tax audit for the Parent Company and subsidiaries based in Greece for the year 2017 is carried out by the statutory auditor. Upon completion of the tax audit, management does not expect to incur significant tax liabilities other than those recorded and reflected in the financial statements.

In 2017, the tax audit for 2008 was completed, that brought up an added payable tax amount of €81,736.20, which was recorded as a reduction of the already established provision for unaudited fiscal years.

36. Change in Accounting Estimate

In 2017, there was a change in the accounting estimate both in parent and group level, in order to more accurately reflect the difference between purchase cost and disposal value of a car. More specifically, since 01/01/2017, the annual vehicle depreciation rate changed to 12% for vehicles of value up to € 15,000.00 and 14% for vehicles of equal or greater value than € 15,000.01, from 13.8% that was previously used on the total fleet of the group. This resulted in a lower depreciation expense by € 3,472,186.08 and in lower profit from car sales by € 391,132.92 for 2017. As far as the foreign countries subsidiaries are concerned, since 01/01/2017, the depreciation rate of 18% was changed to 14% for Bulgaria and Cyprus, and to 15% for Romania, Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia and Ukraine. This, resulted in lower depreciation expense by €3,917,134.43 and lower profit from car sales of € 444,652.50 for 2017.

37. Sensitivity Analysis

The following tables present and analyse the sensitivity of the company's results and its equity in relation to the financial assets and liabilities, as far as interest rate risk is concerned, the foreign exchange risk and the market risk.

  1. Interest rate risk

The Company and the Group are exposed to interest rate risk, stemming from:

a) the floating interest rate loans, as well as from deposits with floating interest rate. The sensitivity analysis assumes the parallel fluctuation of interest rates by ±100 bps and its impact will be reflected on the results

b) A change in derivatives' fair value used to hedge the interest rate risk, where hedge accounting is used. These derivatives are solely affected by interest fluctuations and the sensitivity analysis assumes the fluctuation by ±100bps of interest rates. This affects the company's other comprehensive income/equity when hedge accounting is applied and income statement/equity when not.

  1. Foreign exchange risk

The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk from its subsidiaries´ liabilities and deposits, in a currency different than the functional currency of the Group. In more detail, the subsidiaries in Romania, the Republic of Serbia, Croatia and Ukraine have liabilities in RON, RSD, HRK and UAH respectively. The sensitivity analysis assumes a change in the following exchange rates, €/RON, €/RSD, €/HRK and €/UAH, by ±10% with the impact reflected on the results.

3. Market Risk

COMPANY 2017

The Company and the Group are exposed in risk from:

Any change of the share price of available for sale financial assets. The sensitivity analysis assumes a change in the share price by ±10% and the change is reflected in the Company's equity.
