REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

FOR THE PERIOD FROM 01.01.2022 TO 30.06.2022

(in accordance with article 5, paragraph 6 of Law 3556/2007 and Decision #8/754/14.04.2016 of Greece's Capital Markets Commission)

Dear Shareholders,

this Interim Report of the Board of Directors has been prepared in accordance with corporate and capital markets legislation and the decisions of the Capital Markets Commission, providing for the 01.01-30.06.2022 period:

  • the true development and performance of Group AVAX
  • the main risks and uncertainties to be dealt with,
  • basic financial and non-financial information,
  • projections for the expected course & evolution of the Group's business segments, and
  • information on transactions with related parties.

The Interim Report of the Board of Directors performs a complementary role to the financial statements included in the Interim Financial Report for the 01.01-30.06.2022 period.

Main Business Segment Activity

Construction

The Group's construction sector in the first half of 2022 recorded reduced activity relative to the comparable period of 2021, as the completion of some large projects mainly abroad preceded the scheduled start of new projects undertaken by the Group recently.

At the same time, price hikes in construction materials, transportation costs and fuel have led to a delay in the commissioning and start of new projects within 2022, as many project owners were forced to revise their budgets for planned projects and delay their bidding and award processes for several months, leading to reduced construction activity in the first half of 2022.

The burden of construction costs, mainly in international projects, led to a loss at gross result level. The reduction in construction activity is circumstantial and expected to be reversed by early 2023 as construction sites are already being set up for new projects, and the procedures for signing other contracts in tenders that the Group has been declared lowest bidder are moving forward.

Following the discontinuation of the energy sector activity at the end of 2021, due to the sale of the portfolio of RES projects of the subsidiary Volterra and the strategic decision of the Group to de-invest from the energy market, the construction sector contributes the largest part of its total revenues Group.

Energy (Power Stations & LNG)

The end of the first half of 2022 marked the completion of the large project of design & construction of a 1,650MW power plant in Iraq, while the IGB natural gas pipeline for the interconnection of the natural gas networks of Greece and Bulgaria was at an advanced stage of completion. The Company is still busy with the design & construction project for the exhaust gas desulphurisation system at the 375MWe lignite-fired Unit V of the Agios Dimitrios power plant in Kozani.

The Group expects the experience from ongoing projects, as well as other impoortant projects delivered in the recent past, such as the TAP natural gas pipeline in northern Greece, the LNG terminal in Malta, another 1,500MW power plant in Iraq, and the 3rd LNG tank in Revythousa, Greece, will enhance its bids for similar projects, mainly in international markets where demand for specialized manufacturers in large-scale projects remains high. Developments in international energy markets and the urgent need of Western economies to cut off their dependency on Russian natural gas imports are expected to give a boost to the construction of LNG terminal and storage facilities, and even more alternative interconnections of natural gas pipelines.

Concessions

The Group includes in its financial statements low amounts of income from participations in concessions, because with a few exceptions it does not consolidate them completely, but only proportionally consolidating their pre-tax results. Group results for the first half of 2022 include the share of profits from affiliated companies for its participation in the concessions, such as Athens Ring Road, Rio-Antirrio Bridge, the Aegean Motorway, Olympia Motorway, etc.

Data on vehicular traffic and toll revenues for the first half of 2022 on road concession confirm a trend of strong recovery which started in 2021 relative to the respective periods during the imposition of the lockdown in the economy and restrictions on commuting imposed to combat the covid-19 pandemic. Traffic data for 2022 show a return, or even increase relative to (prepandemic) levels of 2019. It is noted that the concessionaire companies, whose financial results were negatively affected by the government's counter-traffic measures, have initiated the procedures for claiming compensation for the lost revenue.

Especially for the Athens Ring Road concession, vehicular traffic in the first half of 2022, as well as the following two-month period from July to August, has practically returned to pre-pandemic levels, reaching around 230 thousand vehicles on an average daily basis, despite the disruption of toll operations for several days in January 2022 due to severe weather conditions.

Group Financial Results for the First Half of 2022

The Group's energy sector operations are discontinued in the consolidated financial results for the first six months of 2022 due to the decision to sell its 100% subsidiary Volterra SA, which already transferred a 112MW portfolio of Renewable Energy Source projects.

[see section "Important Events during the First Half of 2022 & their Impact on Financial Results", as well as the relevant note in the financial statements, for more details]

More specifically, the discontinued operation in the first half of 2022 recorded a turnover of €163.6 million, producing a €32.9 million post-tax profit and €34.7 million EBITDA. In the year-earlier six-month period, the discontinued operation had contributed turnover of €62.6 million, with a €3.3 million after tax loss and a negative €1.4 million EBITDA.

Taking into account continuing operations only, the Group's consolidated turnover fell 25.7% to €194.3 million in the first half of 2022 versus €261.7 million in the respective period of 2021.

The gross result of the Group from continuing operations in the first half of 2022 was a €3.3 million loss as opposed to a €26.4 million profit in the year-earlier period, with the respective profit margin standing at -1.7% in 2022 versus 10.0% a year earlier, mainly due to the negative performance of the construction segment.

The Group's general administrative and selling expenses grew to €22.1 million in the first half of 2022 from €18.8 million a year earlier, also recording an increase as a percentage of total turnover.

Operating conditions deteriorated in 2022 compared to 2021 due to the covid-19 pandemic, rising construction material prices, and the impact of the war in Ukraine, which continued to squeeze project margins. The new projects were expected to start within 2022, however the sizeable increases in the prices of materials and transportation cost led project owners to redefine their budgets, resulting in the delay in the bidding process. As such, major new projects are expected to show increased activity (significant execution) from early 2023 onwards. This accounts for the reduced turnover in the first half of 2022. The same effect is present in the turnover and the consolidated result of consolidated financial statements.

Income from associates increased in the first half of 2022, reaching €16.3 million versus €13.4 million in 2021.

Taking all this into account, the consolidated result at operating level from continuing operations in the first half of 2022 reached a €9.4 million loss versus a €23.6 million profit in the respective period of 2021.

On a consolidated pretax basis, the Group turned in a €18.5 million loss from continuing operations in the first half of 2022 versus a €11.8 million profit in 2021, while the net after tax result from continuing operations in the first six months of 2022 was a €20.2 million loss as opposed to a €9.2 million profit in the comparable period of 2021.

Group earnings before tax, interest expenses, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) from continuing operations in the first half of 2022 recorded a €0.8 million profit, down from €33.5 million in the respective period of 2021.

Total net interest expense for the Group from continuing operations decreased to €9.1 million in the first six months of 2022 versus €11.8 million a year earlier.

Net debt at Group level, including liabilities from leasing, edged up during the first six months of 2022, amounting to €389.3 million on 30.06.2022 as opposed to €381.4 million at the end of 2021, mostly due to a reduction of cash & restricted deposits by €50.5 million from €114.1 million at end-2021 to €63.6 million on 30.06.2022.

The Group's short-term debt and leasing increased slightly by €2.8 million during the first half of 2022, reaching €115.2 million due to requirement for working capital and LCs for projects, as well as leases for technical equipment. On the contrary, long-term liabilities from bond loans and leasing fell substantially by €45.4 million in the first half of 2022, amounting to €337.7 million on 30.06.2022, in line with the bond repayment schedule.

At a parent Company level, total debt & leasing amounted to €418.9 million on 30.06.2022, down from €459.1 million at the end of 2021. Net debt & leasing for the parent company increased during the first half of 2022, reaching €358.4 million versus €349.3 million at the end of 2021. The net financial cost of the Company in the first half of 2022 fell to €8.1 million from €10.7 million a year earlier.

Consolidated net equity at the end of the first half of 2022 reached €107.9 million versus €110.4 million at the end of 2021, due to the loss-making result of the period.

The Group's operating cash flow from continuing & discontinued operations was negative by €51.1 million in the first half of 2022, mainly due to the pre-tax loss of €18.5 million before the sale of subsidiary Volterra's RES projects, as well as the negative movement in balance sheet items making up the working capital, where receivables increased by €3.5 million and non-bank liabilities dropped by €25.0 million. In the comparable first half of 2021, the Group's operating cash flow from continuing & discontinued operations was slightly positive by €0.4 million due to the profitable result of the period.

The Group's investing cash flow from continuing & discontinued operations in the first half of 2022 was positive by €58.4 million, compared to an inflow of €41.4 million in the comparable period of 2021, mainly due to the receipt of funds from the sale of subsidiary Volterra's RES projects, allowing the Group to proceed with the repayment of loans and leasing obligations totalling €43.6 million during the first six months of 2022.

Important Events during the First Half of 2022 & their Impact on Financial Results

The following are the most important events concerning the Group and its companies during the first half of 2022:

Sale of RES projects by 100% subsidiary Volterra

In late 2021, the Group decided to divest from certain participations, such as its 100% subsidiary Volterra, which is active in the wholesale and retail energy market and Renewable Energy Sources (RES), due to abnormal and unpredictable conditions prevailing in international energy markets and the strong demand for RES projects.

To this end, the Company hired a financial advisor to explore interest from buyers either for the Volterra Group as a whole, or separately for RES projects and activities in the retail & wholesale market of electricity & natural gas. During the first half of 2022, Volterra sold to PPC Renewables SA its participation in a portfolio of RES projects with a total capacity of 112MW. More specifically, PPC Renewables SA acquired 55% of the shares of Volterra K-R SA and Volterra Lykovouni SA, in which PPC Renewables SA held a 45% stake since 2019. Volterra K-R SA and Volterra Lykovouni SA own wind farms with a total capacity of 69.7MW in Etoloakarnania and Viotia in central Greece. PPC Renewables SA also acquired 100% of Iliophania SA, which owns a 2.7 MW solar park in Viotia, as well as Volterra Doukas SA and Volterra Koukouli SA, which own wind farms with a total capacity of 39.5MW in Kozani and Kastoria in northern Greece, the construction of which is scheduled to start shortly.

Starting with the Consolidated Financial Statements of 31.12.2021, as per the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS 5), the Volterra Group (including its energy trading and RES activities) was classified as "Discontinued Activity". According to IFRS 5, the assets and liabilities of the discontinued operation are recorded at book value, being the lowest between fair value and book value. The financial result from the discontinued operation is also presented separately in the consolidated income statement. International Accounting Standards (IFRS 5) generally provide a 12-month period to complete the sale of discontinued operations. [see the relevant Note of the Financial Statements for more details]

Addition of new projects

During the first half 2022, the Company signed new projects worth around €0.5 billion and was also declared lowest bidder on a provisional basis for a few more projects, successfully replenishing its work-in-hand during a period in which the rate of execution of projects is picking up. The most important of those projects are as follows:

i. Signed contract for Phase A of infrastructure works towards the Ellinikon project by Lamda Development, worth around €245 million

Main Risks & Uncertainties for the Second Half of 2022

1. Economic & Political Developments

The outbreak of the covid-19 pandemic in early 2020 and the subsequent measures to prevent its spread reversed the course of the country's dynamic recovery that began in 2019, after a decade of economic weakness. In 2021, the global and the Greek economies returned to a growth trajectory as the global economy and business adapted to the new data and showed significant economic growth. The energy crisis that unfolded in the second half of 2021, and especially the Russian invasion of Ukraine at the end of February this year, overturned the optimism for further strong growth in 2022. The deterioration of the energy crisis due to the war in Ukraine, the severe sanctions imposed by the Western world against Russia and Russian-owned businesses, the disruption of agricultural production in critical foodstuffs in the Eastern European region, and the global geopolitical instability involving powerful military forces with nuclear capabilities, have created sharp inflationary conditions and uncertainty about the course of macroeconomic data. The turmoil in Ukraine has substantially undermined the expected recovery of the world economy, at least for the current year, and is overturning geopolitical and energy conditions, at least in the short and medium term.

2. Risks and Uncertainties

Group activities are subject to various risks and uncertainties pertaining to the nature of its business activities, prevailing geopolitical, credit and currency conditions, relations with clients, suppliers and subcontractors. To a large extent, the risk arising from these relations and transactions is predictable or may be dealt with the selection of the appropriate management policy due to the accumulated expertise of the Group's senior staff and official procedures. It is always desirable to limit the overall level of risk to tolerable and manageable levels for Group operations. Nevertheless, no system and risk management policy can offer absolute security against all risks, as the ever-changing international political and economic environment may overturn any situation which was taken for granted and considered manageable in advance.

The main risks and uncertainties, their management policies and their impact on Group activities, are as follows:

a. Climate Issues

The social and political response to the anthropogenic climate change will inevitably have an impact on the Group's business activities, in the context of its participation in the Greek and international economy. The guidelines for the disclosure of financial climate information published by the European Union identify two main sources of risk associated with climate change:

  • i. Risks associated with the transition to a lower carbon footprint economy, as may arise from the adoption of strategies and decision-making to prevent and mitigate the effects of climate change. Examples include the introduction of regulatory incentives and sanctions, coal pricing systems, energy efficiency solutions, and low carbon products and services, and policies in general that may indirectly affect certain functions and the value of some of the Group's assets.
  • ii. Risks related to the natural effects of climate change, which include the risks posed by changes in average temperatures and the increasing incidence of extreme weather events and natural disasters. These weather phenomena and deviations from the climatic constants can affect the smooth operation of the Group, hindering the smooth progress of its operations on outdoor construction sites, as well as the supply and transportation of the necessary materials.

Group management is faced with the challenge to monitor, evaluate and respond to the above risks, to mitigate any adverse effects on the financial data and the operations of the Group, while at the same time it must take appropriate measures to participate in the wider effort to reduce the environmental impact of Group activities.

b. War conflict in Ukraine

The Group does not have any exposure to the markets of Ukraine and Russia as the Eastern European region is not a strategic choice for construction or other business activities. The overall footprint of international sanctions against Russia cannot be determined and quantified yet, but any impact on the Group will only have an indirect effect through international developments in raw material prices, energy costs and international freight cost.

c. International price hikes in construction materials, transport and fuel

The gradual return of world markets to normalcy in 2021, after the drastic changes caused by the covid-19 epidemic in 2020, had some side effects as some industries are now moving with a different business approach and pace from the rest of the economy. One such consequence was the gradual rise in prices for certain building materials, their transportation costs and fuel, leading to an increase in project execution costs. Construction cost pressures are not uniform and horizontal, as prices on all materials and all geographic markets have not been affected in the same way. Projects that are in an advanced stage of completion are not expected to be significantly affected.

In Greece, during 2022 the government started the procedures for normalization of inflationary pressures on the costs of ongoing public projects, as well as public projects and PPPs in the auctioning pipeline. At the same time, the creation of a price monitoring authority and the establishment of a company for specifications and pricing of technical works and studies are promoted in order for the price adjustments to be carried out automatically.

Following meetings with the relevant government officials, the construction industry expects the initial state interventions to be made in the direction of increasing the payments approved for public works, and then to proceed with the finding of resources for the adjustment of the budgets of the executed projects. and under auction. within the budgetary capabilities of the country.

The impact on the Group's gross result was largely absorbed and recorded in the financial results of 2021. A part remained to be charged against the results of 2022, given that project budgets were revised to account for a reduction in the gross margin. But prices for the majority of construction materials remained on an upward course after the end of 2021. Coupled with delivery delays and uncertainty about freight rates, several suppliers have demanded that their prices for materials and freight costs be calculated using the "cost plus" method. Prices in the first half of 2022 for most materials moved up between 5% and 30%, further squeezing the gross result of existing projects, almost all of which are scheduled to be completed by the end of 2022. [see the relevant notes in the financial statements for more details]

d. Credit Risk

The Group's Strategic Planning & Risk Management Committee has adopted a credit policy according to which the credit score of new clients is assessed individually before being officially offered the standard terms and conditions of payment and delivery. Regarding public works, until the economic environment improves, the Group follows a policy of participating only in tenders where project financing is secured with European Union funds.

At any point in time, the Group is involved in a large number of projects in Greece and abroad, with select clients with a proven record of reliability and credit worthiness. In the local market, the Greek State has traditionally been the largest client, as the private sector historically is a small player in building facilities and infrastructure projects where the Group specializes in. Participation in self-financed projects in the form of concessions and PPP has somewhat limited the participation of the Greek State in total Group revenues. With the exception of the large project for Line 4 of the Athens Metro which the Company added, the participation of PPP projects and concession-related works is expected to grow larger in total activity in coming years. In international markets, the Group is mostly involved in private sector projects. Under this light of clientele diversification, the Group presents a medium level of credit risk concentration.

As a result of the international practice in the construction sector, Group transactions are required to be secured to a large extent by the intervention of the banking sector and international credit insurance firms in issuing guarantees in all stages of a signed project contract, from participating in the bidding, to receiving an advance payment, the execution of the project in discrete phases until its final delivery.

To calculate the provision for impairment of receivables from clients and other debtors, the Group assesses the risk level of each client according to the aging breakdown of receivables in arrears and their broader credit-worthiness.

This way, the Group provides a realistic view of the level of doubtful receivables in its financial accounts and keeps any adverse impact in upcoming financial periods in check.

e. Price Volatility Risk

The Group is exposed to volatility in the prices of raw materials and other materials supplied, in most cases of which they have internationally defined prices ("commodities"), such as cement, metal reinforcement and fuel. The Group centrally controls the supply of materials for the needs of the companies it controls, in order to achieve economies of scale and to "lock" the supply price through pre-purchase of large quantities. Recently, there have been continuous increases in the prices of many raw materials and finished materials used in construction, mainly driven by rising international demand.

f. Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk refers to the likelihood of current assets, ie those that may be disposed of on a short-term span, being insufficient to cover short-term liabilities when they become due. As per the following table, the Group and the parent Company had positive net current assets at the end of the first half of 2022, increased relative to end-2021.

amounts in € '000 GROUP COMPANY
30.06.2022 31.12.2021 30.06.2022 31.12.2021
Current Assets, excluding cash & equivalent and
short-term restricted deposits (Α)
463,776 444,945 436,137 425,069
Short-term Liabilities, excluding bank debt & leasing
(Β)
385,905 386,453 376,942 392,085
Net Current Assets (Α – Β) 78,872 58,492 59,194 32,984

The Group follows a policy of securing adequate cash to meet upcoming liabilities at any point in time. To this extent, the Group seeks to maintain cash in physical form or in agreed credit lines sufficing for expected payments over the period of a month. The Finance Department prepares a detailed monthly and 12-month cash plan, as well as revising on a quarterly basis the 5-year budget and cash flow statement.

The basic criterion in evaluating the course of cash liquidity is the aging analysis or maturity of the Group's financial liabilities, starting from balance sheet date until those liabilities are due.

g. Cash Flow Risk

The Group occasionally makes use of complex financial products in association with the banking sector to hedge the cash flow primarily to specific investments in self-financed projects. The part of the cash flow hedge which was absolutely effective is credited directly to shareholder funds through the Table of Changes in Own Equity of concessionaires, in line with the provisions of the International Accounting Standards. The ineffective part of the gain or loss is charged directly to the income statement of

the companies. Therefore, the Group books its share in its consolidated financial accounts according to the respective entries in associated companies, in line with International Accounting Standard 28.

h. Forex Risk

The Group receives a large part of its revenues from works in international markets, with a significant portion of those revenues coming from countries outside the eurozone. In cases of projects outside the eurozone, the Group makes an effort to match its receivables in foreign currency with payables in the same currency, effectively hedging part of its foreign exchange risk. The Group also carries out, partially at minimum, financial hedging of its receivables and payables in foreign currency through agreements with banking institutions.

i. Insurance Risk

The Company and its subsidiaries are covered by reputable insurance companies against basic risk arising from their business activity, relating to breakdowns and damages in their technical equipment, personnel accidents, and force majeure events. Insurance coverage is bound to usual terms for each contract and is seen adequate overall. Basic insurance provides full coverage of the undepreciated accounting value of fixed assets against catastrophic and other risks, with an emphasis on technical equipment in Greece and abroad as well as construction projects. Insurance contracts for projects also cover civil responsibility of the Company versus third parties.

j. Geopolitical Risk

Geopolitical risk is present throughout the Eastern Mediterranean region, the Middle East and Northern Africa Group due to conflicts and unrest linked to the overturning of old political regimes, the rise of new fanatic religious groups, and the conflict for control of natural resources.

The international activity and expansion of the Group outside Europe has focused on countries with a reduced geopolitical risk, as AVAX Group follows an independent international path subsequent to the liquidation in 2018 of the Joannou & Paraskevaidis Group, with which we cooperated in these local markets.

Receivables from Clients for the Company and the Group include a revised amount of €22.8 million which is in arrears over 4 years. This amount concerns part of the value of an invoice issued towards a project in Lebanon out of the total claimed amount, for which a Petition for Arbitration has been filed to the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), which was halted till 31.05.2020 as part of an effort to resolve the dispute off-courts. While this effort towards a friendly resolution of the dispute continues, the Company decided to re-start the halted arbitration before ICSID. The Company submitted its first full memorandum (Claimant's Memorandum) to the Arbitration Court on 22.06.2020. The Lebanese State submitted its detailed memorandum on 23.06.2021, while on 06.08.2021 both sides to the arbitration requested to submit additional documents. The Company submitted on 14.02.2022 its response to memorandum filed by the Lebanese State and rebutted the expert report used by the Lebanese State. The next stage is the hearing session to be held in London, UK between 3 and 7 October, 2022. The receivable amount included in the 30.06.2022 accounts was reduced further, based on the above information.

[see Notes to the Financial Accounts for more details]

k. Financial Risk

The Group finances its fixed assets with long-term bond loans and its operations with working capital, while also using performance bonds issued by banking institutions to participate in project tenders and guarantee their proper execution to clients. The terms and pricing of those financial products, ie interest rates and bond fees, are determined by international and local liquidity conditions beyond the control of the Group, despite the good relationship maintained with the local banking system.

Total consolidated debt & leasing for the Group on 30.06.2022 amounted to €452.9 million versus €495.5 million at end-2021, with its long-term portion representing 74.6% of Group total at mid-2022 versus 77.3% at end-2021. At parent Company level, total debt & leasing amounted to €418.9 million on 30.06.2022, as opposed to €459.1 million at the end of 2021.

Projections & Prospects for the Second Half of 2022

The Greek economy continued in the first half of 2022 to grow, as it did in the previous year, at rates close to 8%, recovering from the significant recession caused by the covid-19 pandemic. The country's Gross Domestic Product is expected to grow further in the second half of 2022, with the full-year growth rate officially revised upwards in excess of 5%. The significant private and direct foreign investments in the broader Greek economy, combined with the start of disbursements for the "Greece 2.0" Recovery Fund for the period 2021-2026, create a positive outlook for the domestic construction industry as a large part of private and cofinanced investments concern energy projects, building developments, and infrastructure projects, mainly through Public & Private Sector Partnerships.

However, the recorded strong growth and adaptation of the domestic economy to the new data created by the pandemic, mainly in terms of transport and the production process, is being tested by the intensifying crisis in the energy markets and the significant price increases in basic food items and in raw and construction materials due to the war in Ukraine. The adverse mix of energy market developments and the effects of Russia's invasion of Ukraine are expected to put significant pressure on household disposable income, which the government is expected to support with high fiscal costs over the medium term, curbing the pace of growth from late 2022 onwards.

As regards the AVAX Group, it is estimated that a dynamic growth of construction activity and a strengthening of profitability will be recorded, especially if the geopolitical risk emanating from the Eastern European region is mitigated soon, helping the normalization of the energy, transport and construction materials markets. It is pointed out that at the end of the first half of 2022, the outstanding balance of the Group according to International Accounting Standards, i.e. the part of the signed construction contracts that has not been reflected in the financial statements in terms of the production of income and expenses, reached €2.0 billion, compared to €1.4 billion at the end of 2021. That amount does not include contracts outside the construction sector, such as real estate and other services. Taking into account contracts pending to be signed, for projects and

tenders in which the Company and its subsidiaries have already been declared lowest bidder, the Group's work-in-hand exceeds €2.5 billion.

Alternative Performance Measures

This Interim Financial Report features some «Alternative Performance Measures», based on the ESMA Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures dated 05.10.2015), besides the International Financial Reporting Standards which derive from the Group's financial statements. APMs are not a substitute for other financial figures and financial indicators of the Group which are calculated according to IFRS, rather they serve the purpose to allow the investment public to get a better understanding of the Group's financial performance.

The APMs used in the Group's Interim Financial Reports are as follows:

amounts in € '000 GROUP COMPANY
6M 2022 6M 2021 6M 2022 6M 2021
Pre-tax Earnings, from continuing operations (Α) (18,481) 11,843 (5,187) 3,374

1. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA)

Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA) are defined and calculated according to Circular #34 of the Capital Markets Commission, as follows: Earnings before tax, financial and investment results and total depreciation (EBITDA) = Profit / (Loss) pretax earnings +/- financial and investment results + Total Depreciation (of tangible and intangible assets). EBITDA is widely used by financial analysts and banks to evaluate the capacity of corporations to service their debt out of generated cash flow.

2. Capital Leverage Indicator

Shareholder Funds 107,926 110,418 310,526 304,160
Capital Leverage 4.20 4.49 1.35 1.51

The capital leverage indicator is calculated as the ratio of the total of Short-term loans, Long-term loans and Leasing at year-end to Total Shareholder Funds at year-end. This indicator examines the relationship between loans and own equity to assess whether the business is adequately capitalized or exhibits excessive exposure to bank loans and borrowed capital.

3. Net Debt

Total Debt (Α) (452,899) (495,525) (418,945) (459,136)
Cash & Restricted Deposits, (Β) 63,557 114,091 60,506 109,837
Net Financial Liabilities (Net Debt), (Α + Β) (389,342) (381,434) (358,439) (349,299)

Net Debt & Leasing is calculated by subtracting Cash & Equivalent and Blocked Deposits from the total of Short-term and Longterm Loans and Leasing. As a performance indicator, net debt & leasing gives an immediate view of the capacity of a business to repay all or part of its debt making use of its cash and equivalent.

4. Free Cash Flow

amounts in € '000 GROUP COMPANY
6M 2022 6M 2021 6M 2022 6M 2021

Free Cash Flow, from continuing operations
(Α + Β)
2,977 46,555 (427) 39,336

Free Cash Flow is measured by deducting Net Investments from Operating Cash Flow, providing an indication of the cash generated by a business due to its operation after paying for investments in assets. Positive free cash flow allows for financing of new activities to expand the business and relax debt, while any free cash outflow must be matched by raising new funds from shareholders and the banking system.

On behalf of the Board of Directors of AVAX SA

Konstantinos Mitzalis Managing Director

Independent Auditor's Report on Review To the Board of Directors of "AVAX S.A."

Report on Review of Interim Financial Information

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying interim condensed separate and consolidated statement of financial position of the Company "AVAX S.A." as of 30 June 2022 and the related condensed separate and consolidated income statements and statements of other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the sixmonth period then ended, as well as the selected explanatory notes that comprise the interim condensed financial information, which is an integral part of the six-month financial report as provided by Law 3556/2007. Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as 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 the 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, mainly of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, as incorporated into the Greek Legislation 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. Consequently, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on the review conducted, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim condensed 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 interim condensed separate and consolidated financial information.

Notes and accounting policies

A. ABOUT THE COMPANY

A.1 General Information about the Company and the Group

AVAX S.A. was listed on the Athens Stock Exchange's Main Market in 1994 and is based in Marousi, in the Attica prefecture. It boasts substantial expertise spanning the entire spectrum of construction activities (infrastructure projects, civil engineering, BOTs, precast works, real estate etc.) both in Greece and abroad.

In 2002, AVAX S.A. merged with its subsidiaries J&P (Hellas) S.A. and ETEK S.A. and was renamed into J&P-AVAX S.A, whereas another 100% subsidiary unit, namely ETETH S.A., merged with its own subsidiary AIXMI S.A. The new business entities which evolved out of these mergers made use of Law 2940/2001 on contractors' certification for public works. The Group's leading company AVAX S.A. was awarded a 7th-class public works certificate, which is the highest class available, whereas ETETH S.A. acquired a 6th-class certificate. In the year 2007 Avax SA acquired the subsidiary Athena SA. which during 2018 was merged by absorption by the Company following the submission of an optional public offer and the exercise of the squeeze-out right of the minority shareholders of ATHENA SA.

At the beginning of 2019, the Company was renamed to AVAX SA again in accordance with the General Meeting of Shareholders of the Company on 27/03/2019 and the Approval Decision No. 40094/09-04-2019 by the Ministry of Economy and Development.

A.2 Activities

Group strategy is structured around three main pillars:

Concessions

  • o Intense presence in concession project tenders, to maintain a substantial backlog of projects and secure long-term revenue streams.
  • o Strengthening the project finance business unit and expanding our network of specialized external business partners (design consultants, financial and insurance advisors, legal firms) to enhance the Group's effectiveness in bidding for concession projects and maximize the return from their operation by means of financial risk management.

Business Activities

o Development along the lines of major international construction groups, diversifying revenue through expansion into related business areas, e.g. environmental projects, facility maintenance & management, waste management, maintenance of large infrastructure projects, as well as unrelated activities that offer satisfactory prospects, such as the Auteco network for vehicle technical inspection.

Energy

o Emphasis on industrial projects in the energy sector, for the construction of power generation and LNG plants, specializing in EPC type projects (design and construction).

B. FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS

B.1. Compliance with I.F.R.S.

AVAX S.A.'s consolidated accounts for the period running from January 1st, 2022 to June 30th , 2022 conform to the International Financial Reporting Standards (I.F.R.S.) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (I.A.S.B.) and the interpretations issued by IASB's International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee (I.F.R.I.C.) which have been adopted by the European Union.

B.2. Basis of preparation of the financial statements

Consolidated and Company Financial Statements of AVAX S.A. have been prepared on a going concern basis and the historical cost principle as amended by adjusting specific assets and liabilities to current values except for certain financial assets and liabilities (including derivatives), valued at fair value.

The policies listed below have been consistently applied throughout the periods presented.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with I.F.R.S. requires the use of estimates and judgments when applying the Company's accounting policies. Significant assumptions (C.23) by management for the application of the company's accounting policies have been identified where appropriate.

C. BASIC ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

The Group consistently applies the following accounting principles in preparing the attached Financial Statements:

C.1. Consolidated financial statements (I.F.R.S. 10) and Business Combinations (I.F.R.S. 3)

Investments in Subsidiaries

All companies managed and controlled, either directly or indirectly, by another company (parent) through ownership of a majority share in the voting rights of the company in which the investment has been made. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated (full consolidation) with the purchase method starting on the date on which their control is assumed, and are excluded from consolidation as soon as their control is relinquished.

Acquisitions of subsidiaries by the Group are entered according to the purchase method. Subsidiary acquisition cost is the fair value of all assets transferred, of all shares issued and all liabilities at the acquisition date, plus any costs directly related to the transaction. The specific assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired through a business combination are accounted for at their fair values irrespective of the percentage of participation. The acquisition cost in excess of the fair value of the acquired net assets is entered as goodwill. Should the total acquisition cost fall short of the fair value of the acquired net assets, the difference is directly entered in the Income Statement.

Intragroup sales, balances and un-realised profits from transactions among Group companies are omitted. Losses among Group companies (un-realised on a Group level) are also eliminated, except when the transaction provides evidence of impairment of the transferred asset. The accounting principles of subsidiaries have been amended for uniformity purposes relative to those adopted by the Group.

At the Company's balance sheet, investment in subsidiaries is stated at cost less loss from impairment, if any. IAS 36 "Impairment of Assets" requires an impairment test if there is any indication that an asset is impaired.

Investments in Associates (I.A.S. 28)

All companies which the Group may influence significantly but do not qualify for subsidiary or Joint Venture status. The Group's assumptions call for ownership between 20% and 50% of a company's voting rights to have significant influence on it. Investments in associates are initially entered in the Company's books at cost and subsequently consolidated using the equity method.

The Group's share into the profit or loss of associates following the acquisition is recognised into the Income Statement, whereas the share into changes in capital reserves following the acquisition is recognised into the reserves. Accumulated changes affect the book value of investments in associates. When the Group's participation into the financial loss of an associate is equal to or exceeds its participation in the associate, inclusive of provisions for bad debts, the Group does not recognise any further losses, except when covering liabilities or making payments on behalf of the associate, or taking other actions as part of its shareholder relationship.

Unrealised profits from transactions between the Group and its associates are omitted according to the participation of the group into those associates. Unrealised gains are omitted, unless the transactions suggest impairment of the transferred assets. Accounting principles of associates have been amended for uniformity purposes relative to those adopted by the Group.

Joint Arrangements (I.F.R.S. 11)

I.F.R.S. 11 focuses on the rights and obligations arising from the joint arrangements, rather than in their legal form.

A common agreement has the following basic features:

  • The parties are bound by a contractual agreement
  • The contractual agreement confers on two or more of the parties joint control

The IFRS classifies joint arrangements into two types—joint operations and joint ventures.

• A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement (i.e. joint operators) have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement.

• A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement (i.e. joint venturers) have rights to the net assets of the arrangement.

An entity determines the type of joint arrangement in which it is involved by considering its rights and obligations.

An entity assesses its rights and obligations by considering the structure and legal form of the arrangement, the contractual terms agreed to by the parties to the arrangement and, when relevant, other facts and circumstances. Τhe factors that the Group tests to determine that joint arrangements are under common control include the structure, legal form, contractual arrangement and other facts and circumstances.

The IFRS requires to recognize and to account for a joint arrangement proportionate consolidation – the party's share of assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a jointly controlled entity was combined line-by-line with similar items in the companies' financial statements.

Also, the party to a joint venture shall account for the above data relating to its participation in the joint venture under the relevant IFRS.

For the fiscal years 2015 until 2020 the parent Company and its subsidiaries that are tax audited in Greece have been subjected to tax auditing from an auditor in accordance with article 65A para 1 of Law 4174/2013 and have received a "Tax Compliance Certification" with an unqualified opinion. It should also be noted that for fiscal years 2016 onwards, tax audit and issuance of a Certificate of Tax Compliance by the statutory auditors are optional. The Group and the Company have opted for continued audit by the statutory auditors.

For the fiscal year 2021, the parent Company and its subsidiaries that are tax audited in Greece, have been subjected to tax auditing from an auditor in accordance with article 65A para 1 of Law 4174/2013 as it is amended and still in force . This control is in progress and the related tax certificate is projected to be provided after the publication of the interim condensed financial statement of 1st Half of 2022. The Group's management believes that upon completion of the tax audit no additional tax liabilities will be occur that will have substantial impact beyond those recognized and reported in the financial statements.

It is noted that in the fiscal year 2021 the company was audited by the Large Corporation Tax Bureau for the fiscal year 2015 and the resulting tax differences burdened the results of the previous fiscal year of the company and the Group. The Company received an audit order during April 2022 from the Large Corporation Tax Bureau for the years 2017 & 2018. This audit is currently in progress.

During the current period the company AVAX & POWER TECHNOLOGIES CYPRUS LTD was liquidated.

The companies VOLTERRA K-R A.E., ILIOFANEIA S.A., VOLTERRA LYKOVOUNI SINGLE MEMBER S.A., VOLTERRA KOUKOULI SINGLE MEMBER S.A. & VOLTERRA DOUKAS SINGLE MEMBER S.A. were sold during the First Half of 2022 (See note 9d "Disposal group held for sale")

C.2a. Property, Plant & Equipment (I.A.S. 16)

Group Management has utilised the basic valuation method (at acquisition cost, less accumulated amortisation and impairments), as per IAS 16, for classifying operating fixed assets (Technical Equipment, Vehicles, Furniture and other Equipment).

The revaluation method was chosen by management for classifying land and fixtures.

Revaluation Model

Upon recognition as an asset, a fixed asset whose fair value may be estimated reliably may be revalued, to reflect the fair value at recognition date less any subsequent accumulated impairment of value.

The fair value of land and buildings is usually appraised by auditor-valuators. The fair value of equipment and fixtures is usually their acquisition price.

When tangible fixed assets are revalued, the entire class of similar assets should be revalued. When the book value of a fixed asset increases as a result of revaluation, the increase is credited directly into the Equity as a Revaluation Surplus. Increases in value due to revaluation will be recognised through the Income Statement to the extend it reverses an earlier impairment of the same asset, charged in the Income Statement.

Should the book value of an asset be reduced as a result of a revaluation, the decrease in value should be charged in the Income Statement. If a revaluation surplus for that asset exists in Equity, the decrease will be charged directly into Equity up to the value of that surplus. Revaluation surpluses in Equity are transferred to Retained Earnings as soon as the fixed assets are sold or derecognized. Tax effects on the revaluation of tangible fixed assets are recognised and disclosed according to IAS 12 Income Tax. The initial implementation of a tangible fixed asset revaluation policy is treated as a revaluation according to IAS 16, not IAS 8.

While applying I.A.S. 36 (on Impairment of Assets), on each reference date, Group management effectively estimates whether its asset base shows signs of impairment, comparing the residual value for each asset against its book value.

Subsequent expenditure on fixed assets already appearing on the Company's books are added to that asset's book value only if they increase its future economic benefits. All expenditure (maintenance, survey etc.) for assets not increasing their future economic benefits are realised as expenses in the financial period incurred.

Expenditures incurred for a major repair or survey of a fixed asset are realised as expenses in the financial period in which they are incurred, except when increasing the future economic benefits of the fixed asset, in which case they are added to the book value of the asset.

Depreciation of tangible fixed assets (excluding land which is not depreciated) is calculated on a straight-line basis according to their useful lives. The main depreciation rates are as follows:

Operating Property 3%
(buildings)
Machinery 5.3% - 20%
Vehicles 7.5% - 20%
Other equipment 15% - 20%

Residual values and useful lives of tangible fixed assets are subject to revision on balance sheet date. When the book value of fixed tangibles exceeds their recoverable value, the difference (impairment loss) is directly charged as an expense item in the Income Statement.

When disposing of tangible fixed assets, the difference between the revenue from the sale and the book value of the assets is realised as profit or loss in the Income Statement.

Own-produced fixed tangibles constitute an addition to the acquisition cost of the assets in the form of direct cost of personnel participating in their production (including related employer's social security contributions), cost of materials and other general expenses.

C.2b. Investment Property (IAS 40)

For investment property, management has opted to apply the method of revaluation (fair values), based on IAS 40.

Management believes that the use of fair values in appraising investment property provides reliable and more pertinent information, because it is based on updated prices.

C.3. Intangible Assets (I.A.S. 38)

Only expenses meeting the criteria of I.A.S. 38.18 are capitalized, such as expenses for computer software and licenses. Intangible assets includes computer licenses.

C.4. Impairment of Assets (I.A.S. 36)

i) Goodwill

Goodwill represents the additional price paid by the Group for the acquisition of new subsidiaries, joint ventures, and associates. It arises from the comparison of the price paid for the acquisition of a new company with the proportion of the group share to the fair value of the net assets, during the acquisition date. The arisen goodwill from the acquisition of the new subsidiaries and joint ventures is recognized to intangible assets. Every year impairment test for the goodwill is conducted, which decreases the original amount as it is recognized in the balance sheet. During the calculation of profit or loss arisen from participation disposal, the relevant (if any) goodwill is taken under consideration of the disposed company.

For an easier processing of impairment tests, goodwill is allocated to Cash Generating Units (CGU's). The CGU is the smallest identifiable unit of assets which creates independent cash flows and represents the level at which the Group collects and presents the financial data for reasons of internal information. The impairment for the goodwill, is determined from the calculation of the recoverable amount of the CGU's with which the goodwill is connected. Impairment loss which is related with goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods. The Group conducts the annual test for goodwill impairment at 31 December of each accounting period.

In case that the fair value of net assets of a company during the acquisition date is higher than the price paid for the acquisition, negative goodwill is recognized (income), which goes directly in the Income Statement.

ii) Other Assets

Intangible assets with an infinite useful life are not depreciated and are subject to annual review for impairment, whenever events take place showing their book value is not recoverable. Assets being depreciated are subject to review of their value impairment when there are indications that their book value shall not be recovered.

Net Selling Price (NSP) is the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset in an arm's length transaction between knowledgeable willing parties, less the costs of disposal. Value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. At each balance sheet date, management assess whether there is an indication of impairment as required by I.A.S. 36, requiring that the book value of assets does not exceed their recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the highest between Net Selling Price and Value in Use.

This evaluation also takes into account all available information, either from internal or external sources. Impairment review is applied on all assets except for inventories, construction contracts, deferred tax receivables, financial assets falling under I.F.R.S. 9, investment property and non-current assets classified as being held for disposal.

Impairment losses are charged in the Income Statement.

C.5. Inventories (I.A.S. 2)

On Balance Sheet date, inventories are valued at the lowest between cost and Net Realisable Value (NRV). NRV is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Inventory cost does not include financial expenses.

C.6. Financial Instruments: Presentation (I.A.S. 32)

The principles in this Standard complement the principles for recognising and measuring financial assets and financial liabilities in IFRS 9 Financial Instruments.

This Standard is concerned with the classification of financial instruments into financial assets, financial liabilities and equity instruments, as well as the classification of related interest, dividends, losses and gains, and the circumstances in which financial assets and financial liabilities should be offset.

A financial instrument is any contract that simultaneously gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.

Participatory security is any contract that proves a right to the remaining balance, if from the assets of an entity are deducted its liabilities.

Fair value defined the price that somebody would receive for the sale of an asset or that somebody would pay for the transfer of an obligation to a normal transaction between market participants at the date of measurement.

C.7. Financial Instruments: Disclosures (I.F.R.S. 7)

I.F.R.S. 7 refers to all risks arising from all financial instruments, except those instruments specifically excluded (e.g. interests in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, etc.). The objective of the disclosures is to provide an overview of the Group's use of financial instruments and its exposure to risks they create. The extent of the disclosure required depends on the extent of the Company's use of financial instruments and its exposure to risk.

C.8. Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets (I.A.S. 37)

Provisions are recognized when the Group faces legal or substantiated liabilities resulting from past events, their settlement may result in an outflow of resources and the amount of the liability can be reliably estimated. Provisions are reviewed on Balance Sheet date and adjusted to reflect the present value of the expense estimated for settling the liability. Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the financial statements but nevertheless are disclosed in the accompanying notes, except when the probability of an outflow of resources is minimal. Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements, but are disclosed in the notes, provided an inflow of economic benefits is probable.

C.9. Accounting for Government Grants and disclosure of Government Assistance (I.A.S. 20)

The Group recognizes government grants (subsidies) only when there is reasonable assurance that:

  • a) the enterprise will comply with any conditions attached to the grants,
  • b) the grant is likely to be received.

Subsidies are entered in the company's books at their fair value and recognized on a consistent basis as revenue, in accordance with the principle of matching the receipts of subsidies with the related expenses.

Subsidies on assets are included in long-term liabilities as deferred income and recognized on a consistent basis as revenues over the expected useful life of the assets.

C.10. The effects of changes in Foreign Exchange Rates (I.A.S. 21)

The financial statements of all Group companies are prepared using the currency of the economic area which the Group mainly operates in (operating currency). Consolidated financial reports are denominated in euros, the operating and presentation currency of the parent Company and its subsidiaries.

Transactions in foreign currency are converted in the operating currency according to the going foreign exchange rates on the date on which transactions take place.

Profit and losses from foreign exchange differences arising from settlement of transactions in foreign currency during the financial reporting period and the conversion of monetary items denominated in foreign currency according to the going exchange rates on balance sheet date are recognised in the Income Statement. Foreign exchange adjustments for non-monetary items valued at fair value are considered part of the fair value and are therefore treated as differences in fair value.

C.11. Earnings per share (I.A.S. 33)

Expenses incurred due to the issue of new shares appear below the deduction of related income tax, reducing the net proceeds from the issue. Expenses incurred due to the issue of new shares to finance the acquisition of another company are included in the target company's total acquisition cost.

C.12. Dividend Distribution (I.A.S. 10)

Dividend distribution to the parent's shareholders is recognized as a liability in the consolidated financial statements at the date that the distribution is approved by the General Meeting of Shareholders.

C.13. Income Taxes & Deferred Tax (I.A.S. 12)

Income tax expenses appearing in the Income Statement include both tax for the period and deferred tax, which correspond to tax charges or tax returns arising from benefits realized within the reporting period in question but booked by the tax authorities in earlier or later reporting periods. Income tax is recognized in the Income Statement for the reporting period, except for tax relating to transactions directly charged against shareholders' funds; in that case, income tax is similarly charged directly against shareholders' funds.

Current income tax includes short-term liabilities and/or receivables from the tax authorities related to payable tax on the taxable income of the reporting period, as well as any additional income tax from earlier reporting periods.

Current tax is calculated according to the tax rates and fiscal legislation applied on each reporting period involved, based on the taxable income for the year. All changes in short-term tax items listed on either side of the balance sheet are recognized as part of the tax expense in the Income Statement.

Deferred income tax is calculated by means of the liability arising from the temporary difference between book value and the tax base of asset and liabilities. No deferred income tax is entered when arising from the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction, excluding corporate mergers, which did not affect the reported or taxable profit / loss at that time.

Deferred tax income and liabilities are valued according to the tax rates expected to apply in the reporting period in which the receipt or payment will be settled, taking into account the tax rates (and fiscal laws) introduced or in effect until the reporting date. The tax rate in effect on the day following the reporting date is used whenever the timing of reversal of temporary differences cannot be accurately determined.

Deferred tax receivables are recognized to the extent in which taxable profits will arise in the future while making use of the temporary difference which gives rise to the deferred tax receivable.

Deferred income tax is recognized for the temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries and affiliates, excluding those cases where de-recognition of temporary differences is controlled by the Group and temporary differences are not expected to be derecognized in the foreseeable future.

Most changes in deferred tax receivables or liabilities are recognised as tax expenses in the Income Statement. Only changes in assets or liabilities affecting temporary differences (e.g. asset revaluations) which are recognized directly against the Group's shareholders' funds do result in changes in deferred tax receivables or liabilities being charged against the relevant revaluation reserve.

C.14. Personnel Benefits (I.A.S. 19)

Short-term benefits:

Short-term benefits to personnel (excluding termination benefits) in money and in kind are recognized as an expense when deemed payable. Portions of the benefit yet unpaid are classified as a liability, whereas if the amount already paid exceeds the benefit then the company recognizes the excess amount as an asset (prepaid expenses) only to the extent to which the prepayment will result in a reduction in future payments or to a fund return.

Retirement benefits:

Defined Benefit Plan:

Benefits at retirement from service include a defined contribution plan as well as a defined benefit plan.

Defined Contribution Plan:

According to the plan, the company's legal liability is limited to the amount agreed for contribution to the institution (social security fund) managing employer contributions and handing out benefits (pensions, medical plans etc). The accrued cost of defined contribution plans is classified as an expense in the corresponding financial reporting period.

The Company has legal liability for personnel benefits due to lay-offs ahead of retirement date or benefits upon retirement from service, in accordance with pertinent legislation.

The Projected Unit Credit Method is used to calculate the present value of defined benefit obligations, the related current cost of services and the cost of services rendered which is the accrued services method, according to which benefits are paid at the financial periods in which the retirement benefit liability is founded. Liabilities arise while employees provide services qualifying for retirement benefits.

The Projected Unit Credit Method therefore requires that benefits are paid in both the current reporting period (to calculate the current cost of services) and in the current and past reporting periods (to calculate the present value of defined benefit obligations).

Despite the fact that remaining in service with the Company is a prerequisite for receiving benefits (ie benefits cannot be taken for granted by employees), liabilities are calculated using actuarial methods as follows:

Demographic Assumptions: Personnel Turnover (Staff Resignations / Staff Lay-offs), and

Financial Assumptions: discount rate, future salary levels (calculated using government bond yield of equal maturities) and estimated future changes in state benefits affecting payable benefits.

The Group has not formally or unofficially activated any special benefit program for its employees, which program is committed to benefits in case of departure of employees. The only program that is valid and has been activated in the past is the contractual obligation to provide a lump sum according to 40% of the scale (based on the current legislation l.2112 / 20, l.3198 / 55 and l.4093 / 12).

Also, the Company is not bound, neither legally nor presumably, by the provision of labor law (paragraph (a) of article 8 of law 3198/55), on compensation of employees who leave voluntarily after completing 15 years of service. The company also intends to maintain the aforementioned "non-commitment" regime towards employees in the future.

C.15. Leases (I.F.R.S. 16)

Leases are recognized in the Statement of Financial Position as a right to use an asset and a lease obligation on the date that the leased asset becomes available for use. Each lease is divided between the lease liability and the interest, which is charged to the results throughout the term of the lease, in order to obtain a fixed interest rate on the balance of the financial liability in each period.

Subsequent measurement

Subsequent measurement of right of use asset

After the lease date commencement, the Group measures the right to use the asset in the cost model: (a) less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and (b) adjusted for any subsequent lease measurement, applies the requirements of IAS 16 regarding the depreciation of the right to use an asset, which it examines for impairment.

Subsequent measurement of the lease liability

Following the effective date of the lease period, the Group measures the lease liability as follows: (a) increasing the carrying amount to reflect the financial cost of the lease; (b) reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease, and (c) remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any revaluation or modification of the lease. The financial cost of a lease liability is allocated during the lease period in such a way as to give a fixed periodic rate of interest on the outstanding balance of the liability. After the effective date of the lease period, the Group recognizes profit or loss (unless costs are included in the carrying amount of another asset for which other relevant Standards are applied) and the following two elements: (a) the financial cost of the lease obligation; and (b) variable lease payments that are not included in the measurement of the lease liability during the period in which the event that triggers those payments is made.

Sale and Leaseback

According to IFRS 16, the treatment of a sale and leaseback transaction depends on whether the transaction constitutes a sale of the asset in accordance with IFRS 15 "Revenues from contracts with customers".

If the transaction constitutes a sale of the asset in accordance with IFRS 15, then:

  • The company as a lessee recognizes a profit or loss from the transaction in proportion to the rights transferred to the buyer,
  • The company as a lessor applies the lessor's accounting based on the provisions of IFRS 16

If the fair value of the sale price of the asset is not equal to the fair value of the asset, then the company should make the following adjustments:

  • Any price lower than the market is considered as an advance on future lease payments
  • Any price higher than the market is considered as additional financing from the buyer lessee to the seller lessor.

C.16. Borrowing Cost (I.A.S. 23)

Borrowing cost refers to interest charged on debt, as well as other expenses incurred by the company in securing that debt.

Included in borrowing costs are:

  • Interest expenses on short-term and long-term bank loans, as well as overdraft interest charges
  • Amortisation of par discount arising from bond loan issues
  • Amortisation of additional expenses incurred in securing a loan
  • Financial expenses from leases, as defined in I.F.R.S. 16
  • Foreign exchange adjustments, to the extent that they constitute a financial expense

Borrowing costs that can be allocated directly in acquisition, construction or production of an asset which fulfils the requirements should be capitalized.

C.17. Operating Segments (I.F.R.S. 8)

The Group recognizes the sectors of constructions, concessions, energy and other activities as its primary business operating segments. It also recognizes Greece and international markets as its secondary operating geographic segments. Those operating segments are used by Management for internal purposes and strategic decisions are taken on the basis of the adjusted operating results of each segment, which are used to measure their performance.

C.18. Related Party Disclosures (I.A.S. 24)

Related party disclosures are governed by I.A.S. 24 and refer to transactions between a company reporting its financial statements and other related parties. The main issue is the economic substance of transactions, as opposed to their legal form.

A company is considered a related party to a reporting company if:

  • a) It is directly or indirectly via intermediaries in control, or controlled by or under joint control of the reporting company
  • b) It controls an equity stake in the reporting company which grants substantial control, or joint control of the reporting company
  • c) It is an associate, as defined in IAS 28
  • d) It is a joint venture, as defined in IFRS 11
  • e) It is a key member of the top management team (Board of Directors) of the reporting company or its parent firm
  • f) It is closely related family-wise to any person matching the first and fourth case noted above
  • g) It is a company controlled (or under joint control or under substantial influence) by a person matching the fourth and fifth case noted above
  • h) It is has an employee defined benefit plan in place, where those eligible for receiving the benefits are either the reporting company or the employees of the reporting company

Related party transaction is any transfer of resources, services or liabilities between related parties, irrespective of the payment of a price in return.

C.19. Revenue from contracts with customers (I.F.R.S. 15)

The standard establishes a five-step model for determining revenue from customer contracts:

  1. Identify the contract with the client.

    1. Determination of enforcement obligations.
    1. Determination of the transaction price.
    1. Allocation of the transaction price to the contractual obligations.
    1. Recognition of revenue when or when an entity fulfills its obligation to execute.

In accordance with IFRS 15, revenue is recognized at the amount that an entity expects to be entitled to in return for the transfer of goods or services to a customer. The standard also specifies the accounting for the additional costs of obtaining a contract and the direct costs required to complete the contract.

Revenue is the amount that an entity expects to be entitled to in return for the goods or services it has transferred to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties (value added tax, other sales taxes). Variable amounts are included in the price and are calculated either by the "expected value" method or the "most probable amount" method.

An entity recognizes revenue when (or as it) satisfies a contractual obligation by transferring the goods or services promised to the customer. The customer acquires control of the good or service if he is able to direct the use and derive substantially all the financial benefits from that good or service. The control is transferred over a period or at a specific time.

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when control of the good is transferred to the customer, usually upon delivery, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer's acceptance of the good.

Revenue from the provision of services is recognized in the accounting period in which the services are provided and measured according to the nature of the services provided, using either out put methods or in put methods.

A customer's receivable is recognized when there is an unconditional right for the entity to receive the consideration for the contractual obligations to the customer. A contractual asset is recognized when the Group and the Company have satisfied its obligations to the customer before the customer pays or the payment becomes due, for example when the goods or services are transferred to the customer prior to the Group's right to invoicing.

A contractual liability is recognized when the Company and the Group receive a payment from the customer (prepayment) or when they retain a right that is unconditional (deferred income) before the performance of the contract obligations and the transfer of the goods or services. The contractual liability is derecognised when the obligations of the contract are executed and the income is recorded in the income statement.

The Group is active in the fields of Construction, Concessions, Energy Trading and Real Estate Investments. In the context of assessing the impact of applying IFRS. 15, the Group divided its revenues into revenues from construction and maintenance contracts, revenues from the sale of goods, revenues from electricity trading and other income.

Revenue from construction contracts and maintenance contracts

Contracts with customers of this category concern the construction or maintenance of public projects and private projects in Greece and abroad.

Each construction contract contains a single performance obligation for the contractor. Even in the cases of contracts that contain both the design and construction of a project, in substance the contractor's obligation is to deliver one project, the goods and services of which form individual components.

Contract revenue will continue to be accounted for over the time of the contract by using an estimation method similar to the percentage of completion method. The completion stage is measured on the basis of the contractual costs incurred up to the balance sheet date in relation to the total estimated cost of construction of each project.

IFRS 15 states that any variable consideration, i.e. claims for delay/acceleration costs, reward bonus, additional work, should only be recognized as revenue if it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur in the future. In making this assessment, Management has to consider past experience adjusted to the circumstances of the existing contracts. Additional claims and variation orders are included in contract revenue when it is probable that they will be approved by the customer and the amount of revenue can be reliably measured.

Costs of Projects: Project costs include the following:

  • Costs directly linked to this project,
  • Costs attributable to the specific project and attributable to the project,

  • Other costs charged to that particular customer in accordance with the terms of the contract.

In the second case, general construction costs are also included. These costs are allocated on an ongoing basis using reasonable methods and bases that are consistently applied to all expenses with similar characteristics.

Indirect project costs include costs such as the preparation and processing of the payroll of construction sites, bank costs directly related to the projects.

Costs that are not attributed or allocated to a project include sales expenses, research and development costs, general administrative expenses and depreciation of machinery inactivity, which are not occupied in the specific project.

There are also contracts with clients for the maintenance of construction projects. Recognition of the revenue from these contracts is made during the contract using the percentage cost-based approach.

C.20. Financial Instruments (I.F.R.S. 9)

Under I.F.R.S. 9, financial instruments are measured and classified at either fair value (fair value through profit or loss or fair value through other comprehensive income) or amortized cost.

The classification is based on two criteria:

a) the business model for managing the assets and

b) whether the instruments' contractual cash flows represent "solely payments of principal and interest" on the principal amount outstanding (the 'SPPI criterion').

The classification of equity instruments is based on the business model for managing the investments concerned.

The Group and the Company measure financial assets initially at their fair value by adding transaction costs, and if a financial asset is not measured at its fair value, it will be measured through profit or loss. Trade receivables are initially measured at the transaction price.

Impairment

The Group and the Company recognize impairment provisions for expected credit losses for all financial assets. Expected credit losses are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows and all cash flows that the Group and the Company expects to receive. The difference is discounted using an estimate of the original effective interest rate of the financial asset. For contractual assets, trade receivables and leases, the Group and the Company have applied the simplified approach to the standard and have calculated the expected credit losses on the basis of the expected credit losses over the life of those assets.

Risk Hedging

The IFRS 9 enables entities to continue to apply the requirements of IAS 39 for hedge accounting. The Group and the Company have chosen to continue to apply IAS 39 for the existing hedging relationship at the date of first application. Therefore, they will continue to apply their present hedge accounting policy, although they will consider initiating the hedge accounting in accordance with IFRS 9 requirements when a new hedging relationship arises.

Classification & measurement

A. Financial assets at amortized cost

Financial assets will be measured at amortized cost if they are held within a business model for the purpose of holding and collecting the contractual cash flows that meet the SPPI criterion. Interest income of these items is included in financial income and is recognized using the effective interest rate. Any gain or loss resulting from the write-off is recognized immediately in the income statement.

Financial assets classified in this category mainly include the following assets:

Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables are initially recognized at their fair value and are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, unless the result of the discount is not material, less any impairment loss. Trade and other receivables also include foreign exchange and receivables.

B. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

Debt Securities

This category includes investments in Subordinated Debt, in concessions in the Group and the Company, which will be measured at fair value through the statement of other comprehensive income if they are held as part of a business model whose objective both the collection of cash flows and the sale of financial assets, and these contractual cash flows relate exclusively to capital and interest payments. Changes in fair value are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income and upon their recognition the accumulated profits or losses will be recycled to the income statement.

According to I.A.S. 32 «Financial Instruments: Presentation», when a financial instrument includes a contractual commitment to deliver cash or other financial asset to another entity, then the financial instrument is classified as a debt security.

Furthermore, according to I.A.S. 32, there is the possibility of reclassifying a financial instrument from a participatory to debt security due to changes in the substantive terms of the contract without changing the contractual terms.

Some concession contracts will be reclassified from participatory to debt securities in subsequent periods, due to a contractual obligation of the Greek State for a total guaranteed return and payment of dividends.

Participatory Securities

This category includes equity investments mainly in concession companies that the Group and the Company intends to hold in the foreseeable future and have decided to classify them in their initial recognition or transfer to the IFRS 9. Dividends from such investments continue to be recognized in the income statement unless they represent a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Changes in fair value are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income and, upon their recognition, accrued gains or losses will not be recycled to the income statement.

C. Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss

In all other cases, the financial assets will be measured at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value and transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Realized and unrealized gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

The Group and the Company do not have any assets in this category, however maintains the right, in the event of a change in the business model, to reclassify financial assets from the category of amortized cost to the category of fair value through profit and loss. In this case, any profit or loss resulting from the difference between the previous amortized cost of the financial asset and the fair value is recognized in profit and loss (according to I.F.R.S. 9)

Furthermore, the Group and the Company maintains the right, in the event of a change in the business model, to reclassify financial assets from the category of fair value through other comprehensive income to the category of fair value through profit and loss. In this case, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in the other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit and loss as adjusted from reclassification (according to IAS 1 and IFRS 9) on the date of reclassification.

C.21 Restricted Cash Deposits

Restricted cash are cash equivalents not readily available for use. These cash equivalents may not be used by the Group until a certain point in time or an event is reached or occurs in the future. In the cases where restricted cash is expected to be used within one year from the date of the statement of financial position, these are classified as a short-term asset. However, if they are not expected to be used within one year from the date of the statement of financial position, they are classified as a longterm asset.

C.22 Non-current assets held for sale & discontinued operations (I.F.R.S. 5)

The Group classifies a non-current asset or a disposal group (assets and liabilities that will be transferred to a single transaction) as held for sale, if their value is expected to be recovered primarily through sale and not through their use.

The basic conditions for classifying a non-current asset or a disposal group as held for sale, are the asset or group to be available for immediate sale in their present condition, and the completion of the sale depends only from conditions that are common and typical for the sale of such items and the sale should be very likely.

In order for a sale to be considered very likely, it must be:

    1. management has committed itself to the sale,
    1. has started an active program to find a buyer and complete the program,
    1. the non-current asset must be marketed for sale at a reasonable price in relation to the present fair value,
    1. its sale must be considered complete within 12 months from the date of its classification as held for sale.

Assets held for sale and disposal groups are measured at the lowest value between the book value and the fair value deducted the sale expenses. Also profit or loss from the sale of these items are recognized in the statement of income.

Immediately before the initial classification of the asset or the disposal group as held for sale, the asset (or all assets and liabilities included in the group) are valued on the basis of the applicable IFRS.

Non-current assets (or disposal groups), that classified as held for sale are valued (after the initial classification as above) at the lowest value between the value that appears to the financial statements and their fair value, reduced the direct selling expenses, and the resulting impairment losses are recorded in the statement of income. Any possible increase in the fair value in a subsequent valuation is recorded in the statement of income but not for an amount greater than the initial impairment loss.

From the date on which a non-current asset (or non-current assets which included in a disposal group) is classified as held for sale, depreciation on such items is not considered.

[See note 9d Disposal Group Held for Sale]

C.23 Significant accounting estimates and judgments

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimations and judgments that affect the reported disclosures. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, the most important of which are presented below. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These management's estimation and assumptions form the bases for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

C.23.1 Impairment of goodwill and other non-financial assets

Management tests annually whether goodwill has suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy stated in paragraph C.4.i. The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units have been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations require the use of estimates which mainly relate to future earnings and discount rates.

Non-financial assets 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 stated in paragraph C.6.

C.23.2 Income taxes

Group entities are subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining the worldwide provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

C.23.3 Deferred tax assets

Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.

C.23.4 Asset lives and residual values

Property, plant and equipment (PPE) are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. The actual lives of the assets are assessed annually and may vary depending on a number of factors.

C.23.5 Allowance for net realizable value of inventory

The allowance for net realizable value of inventory, in accordance with the accounting policy as stated in paragraph C.5, represents management's best estimate, based on historic sales trends and its assessment on quality and volume, of the extent to which the stock on hand at the reporting date will be sold below cost.

C.23.6 Allowance for doubtful accounts receivable

The Group's management periodically reassess the adequately of the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable using parameters such as its credit policy, reports from its legal counsel on recent developments of the cases they are handling, and its judgment/estimate about the impact of other factors affecting the recoverability of the receivables.

C.23.7 Provision for staff leaving indemnities

The cost for the staff leaving indemnities is determined based on actuarial valuations. The actuarial valuation requires management making assumptions about future salary increases, discount rates, mortality rates, etc. Management, at each reporting date when the provision is re-examined, tries to give its best estimate regarding the above mentioned parameters.

C.23.8 Contingent liabilities

The existence of contingent liabilities requires from management making assumptions and estimates continuously related to the possibility that future events may or may not occur as well as the effects that those events may have on the activities of the Group.

C.23.9 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (I.F.R.S. 15)

Whenever the financial result of a contract may be estimated with reliability, the income and expenses of the contract are recognized during the life of the contract respectively as income and expenses. Income is only recognized to the extent that the cost arising from the contract may be recovered, while that cost is recognized as an expense in the period in which it arose.

C.23.10 Joint Arrangements (I.F.R.S. 11)

The factors examined by the Group to assess whether a company is a joint arrangement, include the structure, the legal form, the contractual agreement and other facts and conditions.

C.23.11 Fair Value measurement (I.F.R.S. 13)

A number of assets and liabilities included in the Group's financial statements require measurement at, and / or disclosure of, fair value. The Group measures a number of items at fair value:

  • * Tangible Fixed Assets & Property for Investment
  • * Financial Assets available for Sale
  • * Long-Term and Short-Term Loans
  • * Derivative Financial Instruments

C.23.12 Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities

Group Companies consider, as applicable, entering into derivative financial instrument contracts with the aim of hedging their exposure to interest rate risk deriving from long-term loan agreements. The Group documents at the inception of the transaction the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedging transactions. This procedure includes linking all derivatives defined as hedging instruments to specific asset and liability items or to specific commitments or forecast transactions. The Group also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items. Any changes in the value of the derivative that does not meet the recognition criteria as a hedging instrument are recognized in the income statement. The estimated fair value is calculated on the basis of current prices. The total fair value of hedging derivatives is classified as equity.

Cash flow hedge

Derivative assets are initially recognized at fair value as of the date of the relevant agreement. The portion of change to the derivative's fair value considered effective and meeting the cash flow hedging criteria is recognized in other comprehensive income. Profit or loss associated with the non-effective portion of change is directly recognized in the Income Statement, under "Finance income" or "Finance cost". Amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss in the periods when the hedged item affects the profit or loss of the period. Profit or loss associated with the effective portion of the hedging of floating interest rate swaps is recognized in the Income Statement under "Finance income" or "Finance cost". However, when a prospective transaction to be hedged results in the recognition of a non-financial asset (such as inventory or PPE), then profit or losses previously recognized in equity are transferred from Equity and are accounted for at the initial cost of such asset. The deferred amounts are ultimately recognized in cost of goods sold in the case of inventory or in depreciation in the case of fixed assets. When a hedging instrument expires or it is sold, or when a hedging relation no longer meets the criteria of hedge accounting, the cumulative profit or loss recorded to that time under Equity remain in Equity and are recognized when the prospective transaction is ultimately recognized in the Income Statement. When a prospective transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative profit or loss recognized in Equity is directly transferred to the Income Statement under "Other operating profit/(loss)".

D. NEW STANDARDS, INTERPRETATIONS AND AMENDMENT OF CURRENT STANDARDS

Significant Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are set out in note C. The policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in €, which is also the Company's & the Group's functional currency.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and International Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and Interpretations (collectively IFRSs).

The preparation of financial statements in compliance with adopted IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires Group management to exercise judgment in applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas where significant judgments and estimates have been made in preparing the financial statements and their effect are disclosed in note C.23.

Changes in accounting policies

a. New and amended standards adopted by the Company and the Group

Title IASB Effective Date
Annual Improvements to IFRSs - 2018-2020 cycle 1 January 2022
IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment (Amendment – Proceeds before
Intended Use)
1 January 2022
IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets (Amendment
– Onerous Contracts – Cost of Fulfilling a Contract)
1 January 2022
IFRS 3 Business Combinations (Amendment – Reference to the Conceptual
Framework)
1 January 2022

New and amended standards and Interpretations issued by the IASB did not impact the Group as they are either not relevant to the Group's activities or require accounting which is consistent with the Group's current accounting policies.

In addition to the above pronouncements, the IFRS Interpretations Committee has issued a number of agenda decisions which set out the Interpretations Committee's rationale on how the requirements of applicable IFRSs should be applied. Since 31 December 2021, agenda decisions have been finalised on the following topics:

Accounting Standard Topic
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments & IAS 20
Government Grants
European Central Bank's Targeted Longer-Term Refinancing Operations (TLTRO III)
program (IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IAS 20 Accounting for Government
Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance)
IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows Demand Deposits with Restrictions on Use arising from a Contract with a Third
Party (IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows)
IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with
Customers
Principal versus Agent: Software Reseller (IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with
Customers)

IAS 19 Employee Benefits - Attributing Benefit to Periods of Service

The IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRS IC) issued, in May 2021, a tentative decision "Attributing Benefit to Periods of Service (IAS 19 Employee Benefits)" where additional explanatory application guidance is provided on the method used to attribute employee benefits on specific defined benefit schemes with similar characteristics of the scheme contemplated in article 8 of legislation Ν.3198/1955 which refers to staff retirement indemnity.

The application guidance modifies the method currently used in Greece to apply the basic principles of IAS 19 and as a result, entities which prepare IFRS financial statements are required to change their accounting policy accordingly.

Any changes are presented as a change in accounting policy and applied retrospectively in the annual financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2021, adjusting comparatives balances for 2020 and the opening balance of reserves for amounts relating to previous periods, as if the new policy had always been applied.

Τhe effect of retrospective application on the comparative figures 30.06.2021 is considered not significant

b. New standards, amendments to standards and interpretations issued not yet effective, nor early

adopted

Title Mandatorily effective for
periods beginning on or
after
IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts 1 January 2023
IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IAS 8 Accounting
Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors (Amendment –
Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current)
1 January 2023
IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IFRS Practice
Statement 2 (Amendment – Disclosure of Accounting Policies)
1 January 2023
IAS 8 Accounting policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors
(Amendment - Definition of Accounting Estimates)
1 January 2023
IAS 12 Income Taxes (Amendment - Deferred Tax related to Assets
and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction)
1 January 2023

The Company and the Group is currently assessing the impact of these new accounting standards and amendments.

The Company and the Group does not believe these standards and interpretations will have a material impact on the financial statements once adopted.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements

There were no significant changes in the nature and amount of assumptions and estimates used in previous periods.

Part of the aforementioned receivables include claims from the Greek state which are secured by guarantees and the Management estimates that they will be received in full.

Therefore the Group and the Company will continue bidding for state projects taking into account of course the possibility of delays in receipt.

This amount is part of an invoice from a total claim for which an application for Arbitration has been submitted to the International Center for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID)and is related to a technical contract in Lebanon. The application is suspended until 31.05.2020 in the context of ongoing negotiations. While the effort of a friendly settlement of the dispute continues, the company decided to resume the suspended arbitration before ICSID. The Company finally submitted its first full memorandum (Claimant's Memorandum) to the Arbitration Court on 22 June 2020. On 23/6/2021 the State of Lebanon submitted its detailed memorandum and on 6/8/2021, the two parties submitted simultaneous requests submission of documents. On 14/2/2022 the company submitted its response to the memorandum of the Lebanese state and refuted the expert report submitted by Lebanon. The last written submission on behalf of Lebanon was on 12/7/2022. Next stage is the hearing process that will take place in London at the period 3rd to 7th October 2022.

Based on these data, the assessment of the recoverability of the claim as at 30/06/2022 was further limited to the amount stated above.

Revenues and expenses relating to each construction contract are recognised in the income statement, depending on the percentage of completion on reporting date. Expenses which have incurred but the relative construction work has not yet been invoiced to clients and are recognised in the income statement, along with the proportional profit or loss provided for in the contract. According to GR GAAP, these expenses were recognised as work in progress, and their relative profit or loss was instead recognised in the reporting period in which the works were invoiced rather than carried out. Moreover, for any project with an estimated loss, that loss is recognised immediatelly in the income statement.

The Group uses the Percentage of Completion Method, whereby the percentage of completion is calculated using the following ratio: Realised Cost / Total Estimated Contract Cost

The Group uses an integrated Management Information System which produces the following information to draw consistent and reliable estimates of the percentage of completion of contracts:

1) Total Revised Contract Revenue

2) Contract Cost to complete the contract

According to the Budgetary Control System applied by the Group, revisions and re-evaluations are carried out on a semi-annual basis.

Discontinued Operations and disposal group assets/liabilities held for sale

In late 2021, the Group decided to divest from certain participations, such as its 100% subsidiary Volterra, which is active in the wholesale and retail energy market and Renewable Energy Sources (RES), due to abnormal and unpredictable conditions prevailing in international energy markets and the strong demand for RES projects.

To this end, the Company hired a financial advisor to explore interest from buyers either for the Volterra Group as a whole, or separately for RES projects and activities in the retail & wholesale market of electricity & natural gas. During the first half of 2022, Volterra sold to PPC Renewables SA its participation in a portfolio of RES projects with a total capacity of 112MW. More specifically, PPC Renewables SA acquired 55% of the shares of Volterra K-R SA and Volterra Lykovouni SA, in which PPC Renewables SA held a 45% stake since 2019. Volterra K-R SA and Volterra Lykovouni SA own wind farms with a total capacity of 69.7MW in Etoloakarnania and Viotia in central Greece. PPC Renewables SA also acquired 100% of Iliophania SA, which owns a 2.7 MW solar park in Viotia, as well as Volterra Doukas SA and Volterra Koukouli SA, which own wind farms with a total capacity of 39.5MW in Kozani and Kastoria in northern Greece, the construction of which is scheduled to start shortly.

Starting with the Consolidated Financial Statements of 31.12.2021, as per the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS 5), the Volterra Group (including its energy trading and RES activities) was classified as "Discontinued Activity". According to IFRS 5, the assets and liabilities of the discontinued operation are recorded at book value, being the lowest between fair value and book value. The financial result from the discontinued operation is also presented separately in the consolidated income statement. International Accounting Standards (IFRS 5) generally provide a 12-month period to complete the sale of discontinued operations. At the same time, it also shows separately the result from the discontinued activity in the consolidated income statement of the Group as follows:

There are pending court cases and arbitrations on contractual disputes and other issues against the Group's companies. To cover potential losses from pending litigation has formed a provision of € 5,601 thousand, of which € 5,438 thousand relates to previous years and € 163 thousand relates to the current year.

On a periodic basis, the Group's Management examines the stage at which each significant matter occurs and evaluates the potential economic risk based on the views of its legal advisers. If the potential loss from any claims and legal claims is considered probable and the relevant amount can be reliably estimated, the Group's Management recognizes a provision for the estimated loss. The management's judgment is required to a significant extent both to determine the probability and the extent to which the risk can be reliably estimated.

When additional information becomes available, the Group's Management reviews the potential or probable liabilities for outstanding claims and legal affairs and may revise the estimates. Such revisions may have a material effect on the Group's financial position and results.

A number of litigation claims against the Group are pending and their final outcome cannot be foreseen at this point. Therefore no provision was made for the Group. It is our view that any claims collected following a Court Order will not change appreciably the Groups Equity.

(1,695,140) (2,593,429) (1,352,669) (2,850,600)

The tax rate of the Company according to art. 58 Law 4172/2013, as amended by art. 120 of Law 4799/2021 (Government Gazette AD78 / 18.05.2021) and is valid, amounts to 22%.

For the fiscal years from 2015 up to 2020, the Group's companies operating in Greece have been subjected to tax auditing by the statutory auditors, have received Tax Compliance Certification according to article 65A paragraph 1 of Law 4174/2013 as amended by the Law 4262/2014 with an unqualified opinion. It should also be noted that for the years 2016 onwards, the tax audit and the issuance of a Certificate of Tax Compliance by the Statutory Auditors, are valid on an optional basis. The Group and the Company chose to continue the tax audit by the Certified Public Accountants.

For the fiscal year 2021, the Company and its subsidiaries that are taxed in Greece, have been subject to a tax audit by a Certified Public Accountant based on the provisions of art. 65A par. 1 of Law 4174/2013 as amended and in force until today. This audit for the fiscal year 2021 is ongoing and the relevant tax certificate is expected to be granted after the publication of the interim summary financial statements of the 1st Half 2022. If additional tax liabilities arise until the completion of the tax audit, we estimate that these will not have material effect on the financial statements.

It is noted that in the fiscal year 2021 the company was audited by the Tax Center of Large Enterprises for the fiscal year 2015 and the tax differences that arose burdened the results of the previous year of the company and the Group. The Company received an audit order during April 2022 from the Large Corporation Tax Bureau for the years 2017 & 2018. This audit is currently in progress.

19. Joint Venture Projects with J&P (Overseas) Ltd

On 11.10.2018, it was announced that international contractor J&P (Overseas) Limited, incorporated in Guernsey, filed for liquidation to address the deficits and liquidity problems it faced. Given that the Company participated in four joint venture projects with J&P (Overseas) Limited in Jordan and Qatar, it was necessary to review the respective contracts with the clients and banks involved in these projects. The Company made, and still does, every effort to continue and complete these projects (except the two in QATAR that have already been completed) in the most technically perfect way, to ensure the Company's future presence in the construction market of the wider Arab world as well as its access to the local banking system.

A detailed report on this matter may be found in the Report of the Board of Directors for the Annual Financial Report 2018, under the "Important post balance sheet date Developments & Events" section.

More specifically, the status of each project is as follows:

1a. Roadworks in Qatar

The projects have been completed

1b. Qatar Foundation Stadium

The Group fully consolidated, for the first time the activities in Qatar, through the consolidation of AVAX ME in the financial statements on 30.06.2019, as it essentially replaced the J&P (Overseas) Ltd group, which had already been liquidated, in order to ensure the completion of local projects, with the main one being the Qatar Foundation Stadium, which will host the 2022 World Cup.

The QFS project was carried out on a joint venture between the Company and former subsidiaries of J&P (Overseas) Ltd, which came under the control of AVAX ME. The Company indirectly increased its participation in the execution of the project. The remaining projects were acquired through the acquisition that involved large-scale E / M subcontracting for third party clients in Qatar.

During the consolidation process, significant loan liabilities and outstanding project balances were initially identified. However, the course of the liquidation of J&P (Overseas) Ltd made difficult the financial position of the Group. A relevant report has been made in the Company's Prospectus on 20.01.2020, where it was recorded that the inability to collect receivables from projects totaling approximately \$ 140m. created conditions of temporary cash constraints for which the Company was considering since the end of 2019 various possible actions, including discussions with the local partner Fahad Trading W.L.L. (who owned 51%), for a full acquisition of these companies.

Eventually, due to the continuous deterioration of cash liquidity, the Company proceeded to this solution, ie it decided to sell these companies to the local partner with whom a draft contract of sale was made. Specifically, according to the draft contract of sale, the Group of companies of AVAX SA. will have to pay a compensation for the sale to the local partner of € 29.4m. (QAR 120m.), for which a provision has already been made in the Financial Statements of 31.12.2019 and it will be settled with a payment of € 21.0m. from AVAX SA, while the remaining amount of € 8.4m. will be given by AVAX S.A. for the share Capital increase of "AVAX INTERNATIONAL LIMITED" (100% subsidiary of AVAX SA), which will be a sale compensation for the sale of AVAX ME subsidiaries in Qatar.

The local partner Fahad Trading WLL, has essentially taken over the management of the projects in question since the beginning of 2020, has full and exclusive communication with the banks, the communication with the customers and the receipts and payments of the project. As a result, the companies Conspel Qatar WLL and J&P Qatar WLL as well as the project 'Education City Stadium' (24% belongs to AVAX SA) are not included in the financial statements of the Group.

The aforementioned companies and their projects under management (including the Education City Stadium in which AVAX participated by 24%) are included in the sale agreement between the AVAX Group and the local partner. This sale agreement, where the QAR 120 million (approximately € 29.4 million) payment has been finalised, it has not been signed yet.The reasons for the delay were the issues relevant to the COVID-19 pandemic and also that the Arab Bank, which financed the projects of Conspel Qatar WLL, was in negotiations with the local partner as it had to sign the agreement. Eventually, an agreement has been reached between them and the process is in the phase of exchanging draft agreements between the parties involved, until a final draft is accepted by both parties. Part of the agreement is a letter from QNB Bank, which finances the QFS project and to which

bank the corporate guarantee of AVAX has been given for 25% of the consortium's liabilities to the bank.

The relevant letter states that with the completion of the terms of the agreement (of the payment plan of QAR 120 million by AVAX), all obligations of AVAX based on its corporate guarantee are transferred to the local partner. In this way, with the signing of the agreement and the payment of the price, AVAX's guarantee to QNB ceases definitively.

Because there are some lawsuits against J/V, for which the risk has been assessed and provision made in the previous year, AVAX demanded to complete its exit process from J/V and then complete the repayment of the agreed amount. The purpose is to give an opportunity to withhold an amount, in case any amount is awarded against AVAX from the agreed price to be paid. The last proposal of the local partner is to include in the agreement, his obligation to pay any sums that may be awarded against AVAX by the court, given that AVAX requires the completion of the payment schedule to be done after the completion of the exit of AVAX from J/V. This proposal of the local partner is being considered by AVAX.

2. Jordan

This project regards the upgrade of the baggage management system in Queen Alia International Airport (Amman), and is an extension of an earlier contract signed by the local government to build a modern airport. The contract was signed on 12.04.2018 representing a value of € 24.8 million for our Company, which corresponds to a 50% participation.

With this agreement, AVAX SA fully undertakes the continuation of the project as well as the purchase of the used fixed assets of J&P Overseas Ltd (office space, and limited mechanical equipment employed exclusively by the project in question), according to the assessment of an AVAX appraiser and the liquidator of J&P (Overseas) Ltd). There is a delay in the signing of the contact between Liquidators, Banks and the Concession's financing bank due to the fact that ARAB BANK that has issued the Letters of Credit of the initial project contract (that has been completed and it is in the defect liability period) must agree. This is AVAX responsibility that executes the extention of the contract and there is no anticipation of the Letters of Credit to be called and therefore any loss for the Bank due to the project.

The involvement came from the transfer of the share revenue of J&P (Overseas) Ltd to ARAB Bank. Nevertheless, the final agreement for the provision of consent by ARAB Bank has been reached. Then due to the fact that the liquidators asked for the Novation Agreement to be signed by the Developer as well, the Developer announced that he did not receive the approval from the lenders of the concession project. Therefore, the Novation Agreement was not signed but the project is executed regularly and we also receive payments from the client.

The advance payment & performance bank guarantee letters for the project, with a current total value of €12.40 million, have been issued only by the Company . The guarantees have been returned and replaced by performance guarantees of € 3.6 million which are valid until July 2023.

20. Fair Value measurement

Below is a comparison by category of the accounting and fair values of assets and liabilities of the Group and the Company, which are presented in the statement of financial position as at 30th June 2022

30.06.2022, amounts in € '000 GROUP COMPANY
Fair Value
Assets Fair Value Fair Value Hierarchy
Tangible Fixed Assets (Property / Buildings) 19,073 15,497 2
Right of use assets 45,838 17,659 2
Investments in Property 11,527 2,226 2
Financial Assets in Fair Value through other Comprehensive Income 119,163 413,653 3
Work in Progress 2,879 170 2
31.12.2021, amounts in € '000 GROUP COMPANY
Assets Fair Value Fair Value Fair Value
Hierarchy
Tangible Fixed Assets (Property / Buildings) 19,853 15,508 2
Right of use assets 47,670 18,520 2
Investments in Property 12,855 3,359 2
Financial Assets in Fair Value through other Comprehensive Income 120,064 399,195 3
Work in Progress 2,924 411 2

The administration estimated that the cash and short-term deposits, customers, suppliers and other current liabilities approximate their carrying value, primarily because of their short maturities.

Fair Value Hierarchy

The Group and the Company use the following hierarchy to define and disclose the fair value of receivables and payables per valuation method:

Level 1: based on negotiable (non-adjusted) prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities

Level 2: based on valuation techniques for which all data with substantial effect on the fair value are visible, either directly or indirectly, while also including valuation techniques with negotiable prices at less active markets for similar or equivalent assets or liabilities

Level 3: based on valuation techniques utilising data with substantial effect on fair value, as opposed to apparent market data

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities is the value at which an asset or liability could be traded in a current transaction between consenting parties, differing from the price of a forced liquidation or sale. The following methods and assumptions were used to calculate the fair values:

For 2021, and property for investment and for own use (property / buildings) in their majority were valued by independent auditors. The method used for the valuation is market value.

The financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (Long-term and Other Financial Assets - Long-term) of level 3 relate mainly to investments in concession companies. The valuation of the most important concession companies was carried out by independent appraisers. They were based on data from financial models, approved by concession companies and financing banks. The discount rate for 30/06/2022 ranges between 6.4% and 7.6%, in proportion to the stage of completion and the degree of maturity of each concession project, and in proportion to the total risk assessed in Greece and abroad.

For financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, the estimate is made at current prices because they are listed and traded on regulated stock markets in Greece and abroad.

Long-term and short-term borrowing is assessed by the Group and the Company based on parameters such as interest rates, specific country risk factors or current prices at the date of preparation of the financial statements.

21. Important Events during the First Half of 2022 & their Impact on Financial Results

The following are the most important events concerning the Group and its companies during the first half of 2022:

Sale of RES projects by 100% subsidiary Volterra

In late 2021, the Group decided to divest from certain participations, such as its 100% subsidiary Volterra, which is active in the wholesale and retail energy market and Renewable Energy Sources (RES), due to abnormal and unpredictable conditions prevailing in international energy markets and the strong demand for RES projects.

To this end, the Company hired a financial advisor to explore interest from buyers either for the Volterra Group as a whole, or separately for RES projects and activities in the retail & wholesale market of electricity & natural gas. During the first half of 2022, Volterra sold to PPC Renewables SA its participation in a portfolio of RES projects with a total capacity of 112MW. More specifically, PPC Renewables SA acquired 55% of the shares of Volterra K-R SA and Volterra Lykovouni SA, in which PPC Renewables SA held a 45% stake since 2019. Volterra K-R SA and Volterra Lykovouni SA own wind farms with a total capacity of 69.7MW in Etoloakarnania and Viotia in central Greece. PPC Renewables SA also acquired 100% of Iliophania SA, which owns a 2.7 MW solar park in Viotia, as well as Volterra Doukas SA and Volterra Koukouli SA, which own wind farms with a total capacity of 39.5MW in Kozani and Kastoria in northern Greece, the construction of which is scheduled to start shortly.

Starting with the Consolidated Financial Statements of 31.12.2021, as per the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS 5), the Volterra Group (including its energy trading and RES activities) was classified as "Discontinued Activity". According to IFRS 5, the assets and liabilities of the discontinued operation are recorded at book value, being the lowest between fair value and book value. The financial result from the discontinued operation is also presented separately in the consolidated income statement. International Accounting Standards (IFRS 5) generally provide a 12-month period to complete the sale of discontinued operations.

Addition of new projects

During the first half 2022, the Company signed new projects worth around €0.5 billion and was also declared lowest bidder on a provisional basis for a few more projects, successfully replenishing its work-in-hand during a period in which the rate of execution of projects is picking up.

d. Signed contact for the construction of a 65MW Solar Park for PPC Group, worth €31.8 million
