Report on Review of Interim Financial Information

To the Board of directors of AUTOHELLAS Tourist and Trading Société Anonyme

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed separate and consolidated statement of financial position of "AUTOHELLAS Tourist and Trading Société Anonyme" (the "Company"), as of 30 June 2020 and the related condensed separate and consolidated statements of profit or loss, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flow statements for the six-month period then ended, and the selected explanatory notes that comprise the interim condensed financial information and which form an integral part of the six-month financial report as required by L.3556/2007.

Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this condensed interim financial information in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as they have been adopted by the European Union and applied to interim financial reporting (International Accounting Standard "IAS 34"). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim condensed financial information based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, as they have been transposed into 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.

Conclusion

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

Report on other legal and regulatory requirements

Our review has not revealed any material inconsistency or misstatement in the statements of the members of the Board of Directors and the information of the six-month Board of Directors Report, as defined in articles 5 and 5a of Law 3556/2007, in relation to the accompanying condensed interim financial information.

DEVELOPMENTS IN THE GREEK ECONOMY

As the health and financial crisis unfolds, the multifaceted manifestations of the problem have become clear. Despite global efforts, the health component of the crisis is not going to be eradicated any time soon. The consequence of this is the high degree of uncertainty for the coming months and the low willingness for investments and trade. Production and consumption have also been hit. A positive outlook is the fact that, in order to deal with the consequences of the pandemic, strong countermeasures are being taken to protect businesses that may alleviate the magnitude of the problem this year but also to lay a solid foundation for the future.

As expected, the economic climate in the country shows a strong deterioration in the recent period, as the Greek economy is more closely linked to the tourism and transport sector.

DEVELOPMENTS CONCERNING AUTOHELLAS GROUP

Through its companies, Autohellas operates in the short-term and long-term rental sectors, both in Greece and abroad. More specifically, Autohellas offers rental services, under the Hertz brand, in Balkan countries of Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia, Montenegro and Croatia as also in Cyprus and Ukraine. Alongside, Autohellas Group also operates in the Greek Auto Trade and Distribution market as well as in the car spare parts trade aftermarket.

Short-term rentals mainly address tourism which in 2020 has been severely affected by health developments and, of course, travel restrictions. Long-term rentals mainly address corporate clients, with the Greek market keeping up the pace compared to the previous years, mainly due to small-medium enterprises (SMEs) despite the uncertainty caused by the pandemic. The growth rate of the international markets the Group operates in, is not the expected, mainly due to with countries affected by travel restrictions and the wider uncertainty in Europe.

Car registrations rate is reduced by 44% with retail sales showing a decrease of 25%.

More specifically, total car hire revenue reached €55,7mil. compared to €65,9mil. the respective prior year period, a 15,5% decrease.

Company's fixed assets' depreciation is €33,6mil. for the first half of 2020, while the consolidated Earnings Before Interest and Tax, EBIT reached €5,3mil. compared to €13,4mil prior year respectively.

Branches

The Group has in total approximately 110 branches covering lease activity at the date of the Financial Information disclosure. Due to increased seasonality during the summer season, branch offices are growing in line with local demand. Furthermore, the Group for Auto Τrade Business, operates approximately 34 points of sale.

DEVELOPMENT AND PROSPECTS

The appearance of COVID-19 significantly affects all activities of the Group. Restrictions on travel led to a significant reduction in tourist arrivals and therefore, the short-term rental sector which is inextricably linked to tourism, is being severely affected. In addition, the general uncertainty which intensified in the recent period, significantly affects the Greek economy and has as a consequence the slowdown in the growth rate of long-term leases. During the lockdown period, the car and spare parts retail sector was inactive but it has returned strongly since the market reopened.

The strong capital structure of the Group and the high cash balance allow the shock and effects absorption of the crisis, confirming the stable position of the Group in the Greek market. It should also be noted that the Group makes use of government support measures to address the effects of the pandemic.

The Long-Term lease sector started in 2020 with optimistic messages for the Greek market and by the results it had in 2019, having achieved an increase in its size. Unfortunately, the covid-19 pandemic and the lack of about 2.5 months of sales slowed the pace down. Our focus on the individuals, freelancers and our new flexible programs for both private use cars and trucks enabled us to remain with a positive growth rate in the first half of 2020. The use of all Group resources in new and used cars helped us to customize the offerings to our customers in order to meet their needs in these difficult times. For the second half of the year we estimate that the shocks will continue and our effort will focus on achieving a positive result in this sector again by the end of the year.

Tourism took the biggest hit from the evolution of the covid-19 pandemic and therefore this is reflected in the results of Rent a Car (RAC) for the first half of the year. Passenger traffic was essentially zero for the entire second quarter, with no international arrivals and domestic market being under lockdown. In this environment, the Company's effort in short-term rental business this year focused on reducing operating costs, using to the maximum extent the minimum inflows from tourism and also focusing to the needs of the domestic market. The short-term rental fleet decreased significantly as the company did not follow the budgeted purchasing plan and at the same time proceeded with significant fleet sales. Further developments in tourism and travel in general will shape our policy in this area.

The pandemic also significantly affected the activity of Car Sales and After-Sales Services. As a result, sales fell significantly in the first half of the year. However, the sufficient liquidity of the companies in the sector, in combination with the coordinated actions to deal with the lockdown and their ability to adapt to these new operating conditions, resulted in maintaining their sound financial structure. The introduction of e-mobility creates a new perspective on the market. The three subsidiaries of the Car Trade business, given their know-how, the products plan of the manufacturers they represent, the network structure and the experience they have, in combination with the financial incentives provided by the state for the electric mobility and also the fact that they have carried out all the necessary actions they are prepared to take advantage of this new challenge. Retail Sales of new and used cars, after sales services and spare parts sales recovered significantly after the lockdown ended. Our companies evaluate and adapt to the new data, in order to continue to offer the best possible and safe service to customers, to support and protect employees and to achieve maximum benefit to shareholders.

The Group's subsidiaries in foreign countries also continue to be significantly affected by the covid-19 pandemic. Travel restrictions have led to a significant slowdown in short-term rentals, which has significantly affected revenue in all countries, with Croatia being impacted most due to the fact that tourism drives much of the country's fleet. Effective management of operating expenses and restructuring of operating units will continue to be a high priority, along with the effort to develop corporate leasing in the SME sector that has already started last year.

The Group, having successfully faced the crisis of 2010, proved that it has the ability to adapt to market conditions by demonstrating efficiency and flexibility. The significant difference, compared to the crisis of 2010, comes from the fact that the Group also owns the Auto Trade and Services sector. Therefore, there is a possibility of relying on those two additional strong pillars of activity, other than long-term leases and car trade, even if tourism remains weak in the next period.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in the first half of the year was an unprecedented event with a global impact and created great uncertainty regarding future financial performance of many companies. The Greek economy as well as the other economies in which the Group operates will be in recession for 2020. The level at which this recession will have a long-term impact will depend on the degree to which the pandemic is successfully dealt with. The effects of this pandemic, and in particular the effects of the forced lockdown in the countries in which the Group operates, have been taken into account by the management in assessing the Group's going concern. The management examined a series of scenarios and forecasts in order to assess the going concern basis in the preparation of the interim BoD report and financial statements. The assumptions are based on the estimated potential impact and potential negative scenarios, but also on the ways that the Group addresses the COVID-19 pandemic. Management believes that the strong balance sheet and liquidity available to the Group, as well as the actions taken to manage costs will allow the Group to deal effectively with this uncertain situation. Therefore, having assessed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the plans and actions implemented by the management, the accounting basis of going concern is continued to be adopted for the preparation of these interim consolidated financial information and no material uncertainties have been identified for of the Group to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these interim consolidated financial information.

MAIN RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Exchange Rate Risk

The Group, via its subsidiaries, is operating in Bulgaria, Romania, Cyprus, the Republic of Serbia, Montenegro Croatia and Ukraine. The existing operations of the Group abroad refer to both in short-term and long-term leases. Due to these operations, the Group transacts with clients and suppliers and holds assets and liabilities 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 and its subsidiaries do not have interest-rate derivatives to hedge interest rate risk for floating interest rate loans (Euribor).

Credit Risk

The Company does not have any substantial credit risk. Retail sales are mainly made through credit cards, electronic banking transactions and to a very 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 and its subsidiaries pay close attention to its credit collection period and act accordingly. Potential credit risk exists also for the Group's cash flows, but deposit products of recognized financial institutions with high credit standing are used. Additionally, in most of these cases, the Group has debt obligations of a higher amount.

Market Price Risk

With regard to Market Price Risk, as of 30/06/2020 the Group is exposed to the fluctuation risk of the stock price of Aegean Airlines S.A. During the 1st half of 2020, there was a negative impact on the other comprehensive income of €36.812.005.

The company is also exposed in used cars 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 Group has been dealing with the risk of a reduction in resale prices by continuous market research and marketability-based fleet configuration, as well by increasing the average age of the fleet of rented cars, a common practice followed by several other companies in the industry.

Finally, both the Group and the Company are exposed in property value changes. During the first half 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. The Company is revaluating its property on an annual basis.

The half year financial information, the independent auditor's review reports and the Board of Directors' report are posted in the Company's website www.autohellas.gr.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of preparation

These financial information consist of the standalone financial information of AUTOHELLAS Tourist and Trading Société Anonyme (the "Company") and the consolidated financial information of the Company and its subsidiaries (together "Autohellas" or the "Group") for the 1st half of the year ended 30 Jun 2020, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), as adopted by the European Union (EU), and in particular in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34 "Interim Financial Reporting".

This financial information do not include all the information required in the annual financial statements and should therefore be examined in combination with the published audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31st, 2019, which are available on the web site of the Company at the web address https://www.autohellas.gr/wpcontent/uploads/2020/03/ENG\_FINANCIAL-STATEMENTS\_31.12.2019.pdf

These financial information have been prepared on a historical cost basis with the exception of certain financial assets, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and investment property which are measured at fair value. The accounting policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

The preparation of financial information in accordance with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies. Moreover, the use of estimates and assumptions is required that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of preparation of financial information and the reported income and expense amounts during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on the best possible knowledge of management with respect to the current conditions and activities, the actual results can eventually differ from these estimates. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial information, are disclosed in note 3.

COVID-19 assessments

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in the first half of the year was an unprecedented event with a global impact and created great uncertainty regarding future financial performance of many companies. The Greek economy as well as the other economies in which the Group operates will be in recession for 2020. The level at which this recession will have a long-term impact will depend on the degree to which the pandemic is successfully dealt with. The effects of this pandemic, and in particular the effects of the forced lockdown in the countries in which the Group operates, have been taken into account by the management in assessing the Group's going concern.

In the context of its examination of whether it will adopt the basis of the ongoing activity in the preparation of the half year financial information, the Management examined a series of scenarios and forecasts. The assumptions are based on the estimated potential impact and reasonable negative scenarios, but also on the ways in which the Group addresses the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Group examined the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the interim consolidated financial statements, including critical accounting estimates and crises. Relevant disclosures have been included on a case-by-case basis, see note 4 on financial risk management and note 13 on claims analysis.

Seasonality of activities

The Group is affected by the seasonal nature of its activities. The short-term "car leases" show a decrease during the winter months and increased activity during the summer months, for the majority of the countries in which the Group operates. Therefore, the income of the third quarter of the year is higher compared to the income from short-term leases of the other quarters. Note that current usage has been significantly affected by the onset of the pandemic.

New standards, amendments to standards and interpretations

Certain new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been issued that are mandatory for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020. The Group's evaluation of the effect of these new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations is as follows:

Standards and Interpretations effective for the current financial year

IFRS 3 (Amendments) 'Definition of a business'

The amended definition emphasises that the output of a business is to provide goods and services to customers, whereas the previous definition focused on returns in the form of dividends, lower costs or other economic benefits to investors and others. It further clarifies that, in order to be considered a business, a complete set of activities and assets must include at least one input and a substantive process that together contribute significantly to its ability to generate output. Finally, it introduces the option of an optional examination (the concentration examination) which simplifies the assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and assets is not a business.

IAS 1 and IAS 8 (Amendments) 'Definition of material'

The amendments clarify the definition of material and how it should be applied by including in the definition guidance which until now was featured elsewhere in IFRS. In addition, the explanations accompanying the definition have been improved. Finally, the amendments ensure that the definition of material is consistent across all IFRSs.

IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 (Amendments) 'Interest rate benchmark reform'

The amendments modify some specific hedge accounting requirements to provide relief from potential effects of the uncertainty caused by the IBOR reform. In addition, the amendments require companies to provide additional information to investors about their hedging relationships which are directly affected by these uncertainties.

Standards and Interpretations effective for subsequent periods

IFRS 16 (Amendment) 'Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 June 2020)

The amendment provides lessees (but not lessors) with relief in the form of an optional exemption from assessing whether a rent concession related to COVID-19 is a lease modification. Lessees can elect to account for rent concessions in the same way as they would for changes which are not considered lease modifications. The amendment has not yet been endorsed by the EU.

IAS 16 (Amendment) 'Property, Plant and Equipment – Proceeds before Intended Use' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022)

The amendment prohibits an entity from deducting from the cost of an item of PP&E any proceeds received from selling items produced while the entity is preparing the asset for its intended use. It also requires entities to separately disclose the amounts of proceeds and costs relating to such items produced that are not an output of the entity's ordinary activities. The amendment has not yet been endorsed by the EU.

IAS 37 (Amendment) 'Onerous Contracts – Cost of Fulfilling a Contract' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022)

The amendment clarifies that 'costs to fulfil a contract' comprise the incremental costs of fulfilling that contract and an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling contracts. The amendment also clarifies that, before a separate provision for an onerous contract is established, an entity recognises any impairment loss that has occurred on assets used in fulfilling the contract, rather than on assets dedicated to that contract. The amendment has not yet been endorsed by the EU.

IFRS 3 (Amendment) 'Reference to the Conceptual Framework' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022)

The amendment updated the standard to refer to the 2018 Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting, in order to determine what constitutes an asset or a liability in a business combination. In addition, an exception was added for some types of liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired in a business combination. Finally, it is clarified that the acquirer should not recognise contingent assets, as defined in IAS 37, at the acquisition date. The amendment has not yet been endorsed by the EU.

IAS 1 (Amendment) 'Classification of liabilities as current or non-current' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023)

The amendment clarifies that liabilities are classified as either current or non-current depending on the rights that exist at the end of the reporting period. Classification is unaffected by the expectations of the entity or events after the reporting date. The amendment also clarifies what IAS 1 means when it refers to the 'settlement' of a liability. The amendment has not yet been endorsed by the EU.

Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018–2020 (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022)

The amendments set out below include changes to four IFRSs. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU.

IFRS 9 'Financial instruments'

The amendment addresses which fees should be included in the 10% test for derecognition of financial liabilities. Costs or fees could be paid to either third parties or the lender. Under the amendment, costs or fees paid to third parties will not be included in the 10% test.

IFRS 16 'Leases'

The amendment removed the illustration of payments from the lessor relating to leasehold improvements in Illustrative Example 13 of the standard in order to remove any potential confusion about the treatment of lease incentives.

3. Critical estimates, judgements and errors

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated. They are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the entity and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

This note provides an overview of the areas that involved a higher degree of judgement or complexity, and of items which are more likely to be materially adjusted due to estimates and assumptions turning out to be wrong.

(i) Estimation of current tax payable and current tax expense

The Group is subject to income taxes in various jurisdictions. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination cannot be assessed with certainty in the ordinary course of business. The Group recognises a provision for potential cases that might arise in the foreseeable future based on assessment of the probabilities as to whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome on these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax provision in the period in which such determination is made.

(ii) Estimated goodwill impairment

The Group performs goodwill impairment assessment of cash generating units (CGU) on annual basis. Recoverable amount of the CGUs is determined based on value-in-use calculations which require the use of assumptions. The calculations use cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a five-year period. Cash flows beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using estimated growth rates that are consistent with forecasts specific to the industry in which each CGU operates.

(iii) Estimation of benefit pension obligation

The Group provides benefit pension plans as an employee benefit in certain territories. Determining the value of these plans requires several actuarial assumptions and estimates about discount rates, future salary increases and future pension increases. Due to the long-term nature of these plans, such estimates are subject to significant uncertainty.

(iv) Vehicles' useful lives and residual values

Vehicles are depreciated over their estimated useful lives based on their estimated residual values. These estimates are reviewed taking into account relevant market related factors. Given market volatility and the large number of different vehicles, the estimation of the residual values involves a high degree of judgement. A change in these accounting estimates leads to a change in depreciation which will have an effect in the current period and/or is expected to have an impact in subsequent periods.

(v) Estimation of fair values of land and buildings and investment property

The Group assigns independent valuations of investment property, land and buildings which are classified as tangible assets in order to determine their fair value.

Fair value is based on active market prices, adjusted if necessary, for differences in the nature, geography or status of the specific asset. If this information is not available, the Group applies alternative valuation methods, such as recent prices in less active markets or discounted cash flow projections. Valuations are performed by professional appraisers possessing recognized and relevant professional qualifications and have recent experience in the geographic location and in the category of the investment properties under valuation.

(vi) Impairment of financial assets

The loss allowances for financial assets are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The Group uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the Group's past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.

(vii) Impairment of investments in subsidiaries

Investments in subsidiaries are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, in accordance with the accounting policy that applies.

4. Financial risk management

4.1 Financial risk factors

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign currency risk, cash flow and fair value interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management programme focuses on the volatility of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group's cash flows. The Group's risk management is predominantly controlled by a central treasury department (group treasury) under policies approved by the Board of Directors. Group treasury identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close co-operation with the Group's operating units. The board provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as policies

covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments, and investment of excess liquidity.

(a) Market risk

i. Foreign exchange risk

Exposure

The Group is exposed to the effect of foreign currency risk on future transactions, recognised monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in currencies other than the local entity's functional currency, as well as net investments in foreign operations.

More specifically, the Group, via its subsidiaries, is operating in Bulgaria, Romania, the Republic of Serbia and in Montenegro, 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 of cars. 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 to a material exchange rate risk due to their size and the currencies that they use.

ii. Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

Exposure

The Group's main interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings with variable rates, which expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. It must be mentioned that the company and its subsidiaries, as far as the existing variable rate borrowings are concerned (Euribor), do not own interest-rate derivatives in order to hedge interest-rate risk.

iii. Price risk

Exposure

The Group's exposure to equity securities price risk arises from investments held by the Group and classified in the statement of financial position either as at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) (note 12) or at fair value through profit or loss.

The Group's equity investments that are publicly traded on the Athens Stock Exchange are classified as at FVOCI.

(b) Credit risk

i. Risk management

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, as well as credit exposures to wholesale and retail customers, including outstanding receivables.

If wholesale customers are independently rated, these ratings are used. Otherwise, if there is no independent rating, credit control assesses the credit quality of the customer, taking into account its financial position, past experience and other factors. Individual risk limits are set based on internal or external ratings in accordance with limits set by the board. The compliance with credit limits by wholesale customers is regularly monitored by line management.

There are no significant concentrations of credit risk. Sales to retail customers are required to be settled in cash or using major credit cards, mitigating credit risk. Wholesale operations are conducted after the assessment of the credit-worthiness of the counterparty, while in most cases, guarantees are received.

At the same time, the Company and its subsidiaries continuously monitor the aging of their claims and take necessary action, as the case may be.

Cash and cash equivalents of the company and its Greek subsidiaries, that represent around 90% of the Group's total cash and cash equivalents are invested in Greek systemic financial institutions. As far as foreign subsidiaries are concerned, cash and cash equivalents are invested mainly to local subsidiaries of international financial institutions with high credit ratings. Cash and cash equivalents are invested for short-term.

Potential credit risk is also present in the Group's cash flows. Additionally, in most of these cases, the Group has debt obligations of a higher amount.

ii. Security

For the majority of trade receivables from wholesale customers, the Group obtains security in the form of guarantees which can be offset with the claimed amounts if the counterparty is in default under the terms of the agreement.

iii. Impairment of financial assets

The Group has the following types of financial assets that are subject to the expected credit loss model:

  • Trade receivables
  • Finance lease receivables

Other financial assets at amortised cost

There are no other financial assets at amortised cost which include loans to related parties and key management personnel and other receivables who have not received the necessary approvals.

(c) Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due and to close out market positions. At the end of the reporting period the Group held deposits at call €91.926.763 (31.12.2019 – €40.172.533) that are expected to readily generate cash inflows for managing liquidity risk. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, the Group maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under committed credit lines.

Note 17 and 18 presents in detail the loans and other financial liabilities of the Group and the Company.

4.2 Capital management

(a) Risk management

The Group's objectives when managing capital are to

  • safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and
  • maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

Consistent with others in the industry, the Group monitors capital on the basis of the following gearing ratio:

Net debt (as the difference between cash and cash equivalents and the borrowings, including finance lease liabilities) divided by

Total 'equity' (as shown in the statement of financial position, including non-controlling interests)

As described in the 2019 annual financial statements, the Group actively manages its liquidity risk. This has been an area of focus due to the impact of COVID-19, however the Group maintains an adequate liquidity position and is able to meet its liabilities as they fall due. As at 30 June 2020, the Group has a net debt of € 332,171,553 (refer to the following note). The Company has the available financing facilities that were available and unused at 30 June 2020 or were obtained subsequent to the period end and up to the date of approval of these financial information, amounting to approximately €100 mil.

The Group has assessed that these financial resources are adequate to enable it to meet its financial liabilities and lease liabilities into the foreseeable future.
