II. Significant events during 2015

External Environment

The year 2015 has been an eventful and challenging year for Greece on the back of two general elections in a period of just eight months, a referendum in between, a protracted bank holiday and capital controls since July, as well as a third bailout and a EUR14bn recapitalization of banks. But the economic shocks turned out milder than expected, with GDP declining by only 0.3% last year, a resilience that was driven, to a large extent, by private consumption. In the first three quarters of 2015 private consumption was growing on average by 0.9% yoy as 'Grexit' fears subsided and a sense of stability emerged post September's general elections.

After a long period of recession finally in 2014 growth turned positive, but increased political uncertainly and prolonged negotiations with creditors sharply deteriorated business and consumer confidence undermined domestic demand and lead to a prolonged flight of deposits.

To ensure the stability of the banking system, a bank holiday and capital controls were imposed in July 2015, limiting cash withdrawals from banks and cash transfers abroad. High levels of non-performing loans and deposit outflows during the first half of 2015 have been constraining credit.

The new financing program agreed with the European Stability Mechanism in 2015 has removed short-term fiscal financing uncertainties and led to a new slower pace of fiscal consolidation, which will be good for growth. Together with diminished political uncertainty after the September 2015 elections and the gradual softening of capital controls, confidence has improved and bond spreads have been reduced.

A relatively unimpeded implementation of the new program, together with the new public debt intervention, could reinstate the acceptability of the Greek sovereign bonds held by the banks as collateral by the European Central Bank (ECB) for the provision of liquidity. It could also lead to a return of the deposits withdrawn from the banking system since December 2014 and at a later stage to make the access to the quantitative easing program of ECB feasible. These developments would strengthen the ability of the banking system to provide credit and will speed the lifting of the capital controls.

The liquidity of businesses in 2016 will also improve, albeit to a lesser degree, by the halt of the growth of arrears and acceleration of their repayment.

The restart of the program of privatization – utilization of state-owned private property could provide a further boost to investment activity. However, the planned for this year activities of the Hellenic Republic Asset Development Fund (HRADF), even if fully executed, will lead to the implementation of investment projects mostly from 2017.

Following its recapitalization, the banking system can also gradually contribute to the revival of the economy. Its actions will depend on the implementation progress of the program, which will steady the financing of the Greek state, lifting the unprecedented liquidity crunch experienced in 2015.

Greece has implemented significant labor market reforms, but significant progress has still to be made. Competitiveness has improved markedly, the unemployment rate at 25%, is still high despite a moderate decline since 2013. Tax and benefit reforms have materially improved the budget position, but public debt is still very high.

Fully implementing key structural reforms would significantly boost output over the next decade. This additional growth would also bring much needed jobs and generate part of the resources needed to develop a better social safety net.

Following a deep and prolonged depression, during which real GDP fell by 26% the Greek economy is projected to grow again in the course of 2016 and 2017, but a full recovery will take time.

ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 01.01-31.12.2015

(THE AMOUNTS IN ALL TABLES ARE EXPRESSED IN EURO)

Market Risk

i) Interest Rate Risk:

This risk stems from bond loans and short-term bank loans of the Group and of the leasing contracts with relating to buildings and equipment of the Group, namely the fact that these agreements are denominated at a floating rate linked to EURIBOR. Therefore, the Group is exposed to an interest rate fluctuation risk. As part of addressing this risk, the Group uses interest rate risk hedging tools.

ii) Foreign Exchange Risk:

a) Risk of reduced gross profitability due to appreciation of foreign currencies: The risk is derived from the fact that the company (and the group) purchases the greatest part of its products in prices expressed in USD and sells these products to the markets in which it is active in prices expressed in local currencies. The Group's products' sales prices are finalized several months before their receipt and repayment and any possible dollar revaluation, in relation to local currencies, would increase the cost of sales, without allowing the increase of sale prices, thus depriving the Group from a part of its gross profit. Also, part of the Group's disposal expenses, and mostly royalties, is expressed in US dollars. Thus, any possible US dollar revaluation in relation to the Euro would increase the Group's operating expenses. The management of this risk is performed by the Group's cash management department, in collaboration with the pertinent commercial management, and the strategy and general planning are provided by the company's Board of Directors. Commercial managements take into consideration the foreign exchange rate change risk during the determination of their products' retail sale prices. The Group also uses foreign exchange risk setoff products, mostly forward type agreements.

b) Risk from the conversion of financial statements expressed in foreign currency: The Group has investments in foreign companies, which operate in currencies other than Euro and thus their financial statements are not prepared in Euro. The Group is exposed to a risk from the conversion of the said financial statements to Euro, in order to be consolidated in the Group's financial statements.

iii) Price risk – Inflation:

According to the administration, the Group runs no risk from price fluctuation, since it does not own a significant securities portfolio and the prices of the products it sells do not present particular fluctuations. Thus, the international increase of inflation pressure in combination with the disturbance of the international financial system may modify consuming habits, affecting the group's sales and profitability.

Credit Risk

This is the risk caused by the potential breaching of contractual obligations on behalf of the trading parties. With regard to the confrontation of the credit risk from wholesale, the Group channels the sales through the most renowned department stores in the countries in which it maintains its activities, as well as via a trustworthy network of selected franchisees. In addition, the Group deals with this kind of risks by getting involved in credit insurance contracts.

Liquidity risk

Despite the unprecedented financial crisis and the liquidity downside on a global basis, the Group retains high liquidity due to its adopted capital structure as well as the retail nature of the greatest proportion of its sales. What is more, the Group acts with a view to the reinforcement of this liquidity, through the successful opening of discount outlets, aiming to the disposal of the older stock and the limitation of expenses.

Inventory risk

This risk is a result of the intense retaining of older stock from certain companies of the Group and concerns its inability to dispose this stock or to distribute it in prices lower than those eventuated during its appraisal process. This risk is alleviated via specialized disposal areas-markets such as: Outlet type discount department stores, discount outlets and large hotel units, located in countries that the Group is commercially active. The Group has evaluated its older stock at its net realizable value. The estimation of these values is based on the management's experience and the actual market data. Furthermore, management believes that this evaluation method (essentially forecasting for stock evaluation) covers the inventory risk entirely.

External Factors that may affect the financial results and the share price

The supply and demand for products, as well as the cost, sales and results of the Issuer and the Group overall, are affected by various external factors, such as political instability, financial uncertainty and the market recession. These risks affect each company in a different degree, regardless of the sectors they are doing business in.

V. Labour and environmental issues

On December 31, 2015 the Group employed 5.162 employees, over 4.949 employees on December 31, 2014. The corresponding figures for the Company are 1.104 versus 1.143. The Group employs (a) employees with permanent contracts, (b) wage workers, and (c) hourly employees. Additionally, a Labour union was formed in consolidated companies Attica Department Stores S.A. (About 180 members).

The Group fully respects the environmental legislation of the countries it operates. More precisely, it participates in recycling programs and ensures the accurate application of the relevant laws in terms of (a) packaging, (b) electrical accumulators and other vehicles equipment, as well as (c) electrical and electronic equipment. It has also signed contracts with certified companies responsible for managing recycled material. The Group's cooperation with suppliers is based on standards prohibiting any form of child labour, discrimination or inflicted labour, securing the health and safety of the employees involved in the production process, as well as equality of payments and respect of the life quality. We visit our suppliers regularly in order to ensure that every single one of them complies with the principles of social responsibility inspired by us.

Corporate Governance Statement

A) Corporate Governance Principles

The Company has adopted Principles of Corporate Governance, as defined by the current Greek legislation and international practice.

Β) Corporate Governance Code

Our company hereby states the adoption of the widely accepted Corporate Governance Code of the Hellenic Federation of Enterprises (SEV) for Listed Companies. This code can be found at the SEV's website, under the following address: The Company complies with the specific practices for listed companies provided by the Greek Code of Corporate Governance (EKED): http://www.ecgi.org/codes/documents/hellenic\_cg\_code\_oct2013\_en.pdf. The company may proceed to amendments in the Code and the Corporate Governance Principles applied.

The term "Corporate Governance" describes the way in which companies are managed and controlled. Corporate governance is in particular a system of relations between the company's management, the Board of Directors (BoD), its shareholders and other stakeholders, constitutes the structure through which the objectives of the company are approached and set, identifies the key risks that are faced during its operation identifies the means of achieving corporate goals, organizes the system of risk management and enables the monitoring of the management's performance during the procedure of the implementation of the above. and enable monitoring of performance management in the implementation process of the above.

Effective corporate governance plays an essential role in promoting the competitiveness of enterprises, strengthening internal operating structures and growth from innovative actions, while increased transparency has improved the transparency for the economic activity of private companies and public organizations and institutions in a wider sense with obvious benefit for shareholders and the investment community.

In October of 2013 the new Corporate Governance Code of the Hellenic Federation of Enterprises (SEV) for Listed Companies was released, which amended the original in the framework of the first revision of the Greek Council of Corporate Governance (ESEDA). ESEDA was founded in 2012 and is the result of the collaboration between the Athens Stock Exchange (ATHEX) and the Hellenic Federation of Enterprises (SEV), and recognized jointly the contribution of corporate governance for the continuous improvement of the competitiveness for Greek enterprises and the gain of credibility for the Greek market and works since then systematically since towards this direction.

Deviations from the Corporate Governance Code and justification

Board of Directors' role and competencies

• The Board of Directors has not proceeded to the establishment of a separate committee supervising the procedure of candidacy submission for election in the Board of Directors and preparing suggestions to the Board of Directors with regard to the rewards of the executive members and main top executives, given that the Company's policy in relation to these rewards is not fixed and settled.

Board of Directors' size and composition

  • The Board of Directors consists of 6 executive members, 5 non-executive members and 2 independent, non-executive members. This balance has provided the Board with effective and productive operation during the last years.
  • The Board of Directors does not appoint an independent Vice Chairman among its independent members, but an executive one, since the assistance of the Board of Directors' Vice Chairman and Chairman is considered extremely important for the exercise of the Board's executive duties.

Duties and behaviour of Board of Directors' Members

• The detailed notification of any occupational commitments of the Board of Directors' members is not required (including significant non-executive commitments in companies and non-profit foundations) before their appointment in the Board of Directors.

Board of Directors' candidate members

• There is no committee promoting the candidacies for the Board of Directors, since due to the company's structure and operation, this type of committee is not considered necessary at the moment.

Board of Directors' operation

  • At the beginning of each calendar year, the Board of Directors does not endorse a calendar of meetings or a 12-month action plan, since its convention and meeting are easy to arrange whenever the company needs or the law provides it, without requiring a predetermined action plan.
  • The Chairman does not have regular meetings with non-executive members, without the presence of executive members, to discuss their performance and rewards and other relative issues, since any issue is discussed with the presence of all members.
  • There are no introductory information programs ensured by the Board of Directors for new members, nor a constant occupational training for other members, since the persons suggested to be elected as Board of Directors' members have proven and ample experience and organizational – administrative skills.
  • There is no specific term for the provision of sufficient resources to the Board of Directors' committees for the fulfilment of their duties and the recruitment of external consultants, since all relative resources are approved on occasion by the company administration, based on the various corporate needs.

Board of Directors' Evaluation

• There is no established procedure for the evaluation of the Board of Directors' and its committee's evaluation, nor is the performance of the Board of Directors' Chairman evaluated during the procedure presided by the independent Vice Chairman or another non-executive Board of Directors' member in lack of an independent Vice Chairman. This procedure is not considered necessary in light of the company's organizational structure.

  • Regular and non-executive members do not convene without the presence of executive members, in order to evaluate the performance of executive members and determine their rewards.
  • The Board of Directors does not describe in the corporate governance annual statement its evaluation procedure, as well as the evaluation procedure for its committees, since no such evaluation procedures are applied.

Internal Audit System

The internal audit system consists of all auditing arrangements and procedures constantly covering all company activities and contributing to its effective and safe operation, the efficiency and efficacy of corporate tasks, the credibility of financial information and compliance with the applicable laws and regulations.

The Company has a sufficient and effective internal audit system with clearly described procedures, aiming to the effective management of its available resources, according to the Board of Directors' decisions and the management of the most significant risks.

In particular, the company's I.A.S. aims are the following:

  • Constant implementation of the corporate strategy with effective use of the available resources.
  • Acknowledgment and management of all sorts of risks assumed by the Company.
  • Reassurance of the completeness and credibility of the data and information required for the accurate and timely determination of its financial condition and the compilation of trustworthy financial statements.
  • Compliance with the institutional framework governing the Company's operation, including internal regulations and codes of ethics.
  • Prevention and avoidance of erroneous actions and irregularities that could endanger the Company's reputation and interests as well as the reputation and interests of its shareholders and other interested parties.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee is a Committee of the Board of Directors' and is convened in order to assist the Board in fulfilling its obligations for the monitoring and evaluation of the Internal Audit System adequacy and effectiveness, based on the findings and comments of internal and external auditors as well as the ones provided by supervisory authorities' audits.

The members of the Audit Committee are appointed by the Company's General Shareholders' Meeting. The Audit Committee consists of at least two (2) non-executive members and one independent non-executive member of the Board of Directors, who presides over its meetings and has sufficient knowledge and experience in accounting and auditing issues. The Audit Committee is convened regularly. The exact time schedule is determined by the Committee itself.

Information on the composition and operation of the Audit Committee:

According to article 37 of L. 3693/2008, all listed companies ("public interest" according to the law) must have an Audit Committee consisting of three members of the Board of Directors, at least two non-executive ones and one independent non-executive member.

The Company's Audit Committee consists of the following members of the Board of Directors:

  • Mantzavinos Zaharias, Non-executive member and Audit Committee Chairman

  • «New IFFRS 16 Leases». It introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than twelve months. Lessor continues to classify its leases as operating or finance and to account for those two types of leases differently. (Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019). It is expected to have effect on the financial statements in relation to the accounting treatment of operating leases from the perspective of lessee under superseded IAS 17.

2.3 Consolidation

2.3.1 Subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the parent company and its subsidiaries. Controlling procedures take place as long as the parent company is able to define the financial and operational activities of an affiliate, with a view to gaining some benefit. The results, assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries are integrated into the financial statements based on the method of complete consolidation. The financial statements of the subsidiaries have been prepared as per the same accounting policies followed by the company. Inter-company transactions, balances, as well as incomes and expenses are eliminated during consolidation. The accounting goodwill derived from businesses acquisition, is registered as a non-depreciable asset, subject to annual impairment audit, in case it is positive. If it is negative, it is registered as income in the financial results of the Group. The goodwill captures the difference between the acquisition price and the reasonable value of the separate assets, the liabilities and potential liabilities of the acquired company.

2.3.2 Currency translations

(a) Operating currency and presentation currency

The figures of the financial statements regarding the Group's subsidiaries and the parent company are noted in Euro; which is the currency of the financial environment within which they operate (functional currency).

(b) Transactions and balances

Any transactions in foreign currencies are converted into the functional currency, based on the valid exchange rates on the transactions' dates. Any profits or losses stemming from currency differences that generated during the clearing of such transactions throughout the fiscal year, or upon the conversion of the currency figures expressed in a foreign currency based on the current exchange rates, applicable on the date of the Balance Sheet publication, are registered in the financial results. Any exchange rate differences derived from noncurrency elements valued at their reasonable price, are considered as a section of the reasonable value; thus they are registered in the same section with the differences of reasonable value. The figures presented in the financial statements of the Group's companies are based on the prevailing currency of the specific country where each company is active. The individual financial statements of the companies participating in the consolidation, which had initially presented in a currency other than the Group's currency for presentation purposes, have been converted into €. Assets and liabilities have been translated into €, based on the exchange rate on the closing date of the balance sheet. Incomes and expenses have been translated into the currency used for the Group's presentation purposes, based on the average exchange rates of each fiscal year. Any differences resulting from this procedure are transferred to the reserve fund for subsidiary balance sheets translation in a foreign currency, in the net position, through the remaining total earnings.

2.4 Tangible Assets

Tangible Assets are consistently valued at the acquisition cost less depreciation. Acquisition cost includes all expenses directly attributable to the acquisition of these assets. Subsequent expenditures increase the book value of tangible assets, only if it is believed that future economic benefits will pump into the group and their cost can be measured reliably. Establishments in third party properties (opening of shops) are depreciated based on the estimated lease duration. Depreciations are calculated using the straight line method over their useful life, as follows:

Asset Category Operational Years
Buildings (privately owned) 50
Electro-Mechanical etc. installations on privately owned buildings 20 -25
Installations on third parties' property 8-12
Mechanical equipment 7-9
Motor vehicles 7-9
Other equipment 7

41

The self-produced tangible assets constitute an addition to the acquisition cost of the tangible assets in values that incorporate the direct payroll cost of the personnel participating in the manufacturing procedure, the cost of consumed materials and other general costs.

Tangible assets' residual values and useful lives are subject to review on the date of the balance sheet. If the residual values, the expected useful life or the expected consumption rate of future financial benefits incorporated in an asset change, these changes are treated as changes in accounting estimations. In case of a tangible asset sale, the differences between the value received and its accounting value are recognised as profit or losses in the results.

The accounting value of tangible assets is checked for devaluation when there are relevant indications, i.e. in circumstances showing that the accounting value may not be retrievable. If there is such an indication that the accounting value exceeds the estimated recoverable amount, the assets or cash-generating units are devaluated up to the recoverable amount. The retrievable amount of property, infrastructure and equipment is the greater between the net selling price and their usage value. To calculate the usage value, the expected future cash flows are discounted at their current value using the pre-tax discount rate that reflects market's current estimations regarding the time value of money value and the risks related to the corresponding asset.

When the tangible assets' accounting values exceed their recoverable value, the difference (devaluation) is initially recognised as a decrease in the fair value reserve (it case there is one linked with the asset in question) which is reported in equity accounts. Every devaluation loss exceeding the reserve corresponding to a specific asset is directly recognised as expense in the income statement.

2.5 Investments in property

Investments in property are investments related to all those properties (including land, buildings or parts of buildings), purchased by the group, and used for leasing purposes. Property investments are initially registered at their acquisition cost including any transaction costs. Subsequently they are valued at fair value.

Management determines the fair value using various valuation methods. The purpose of using a specific valuation method is the determination of the transaction price on the valuation date, on a commercial basis, driven by regular business considerations. The evaluation methods, include among others, the use of recent commercial-based transactions, the reference to the current fair value of a substantially similar instrument, as well as the analysis of the discounted cash flows.

The estimation of the properties fair value was conducted by a registered real estate expert who has the skills and experience required for the assessment procedure and is totally irrelevant to the group. The reassessment / assessment concerns only the land and buildings and does not take into consideration the engineering or other mobile equipment of the Company. Since there is no establishment of horizontal or vertical ownerships of the buildings, the distinction of the estimated value between the land and a building was considered as the proportional land area per building, based on the above said structure. The book value reported in the Group's financial statements, reflect the market conditions on the date of balance sheet generation. Any gain or loss resulting from a change in fair value of properties investments is recognized in the income statement incurred.

Transfers towards the category of real estate investments are only conducted in case of a change in their perceived use, as a result of the end of the private-use period on behalf of the Group, the finalization of an asset's construction, or the utilization of an operating lease derived from a third party. Accounting transfers of properties from "investments" into "owner-occupied" category are only executed in case of a change on their utilization purposes, evidenced by their establishment as owner-occupied assets or their classification as held for sale properties. For the transfer of property from the category of "investments" into the category of "owneroccupied", the reasonable cost of the property used for its subsequent accounting manipulation, is its fair value on the date of the change of use. Gains or losses resulting from the removal or disposal of the investment in property, are recognized in the income statement of the period that the removal or disposal took place.

Group's real estate investments refer to two properties located at Piraeus Street and at the airport. The reasonable value of the investment properties of the Group, equal to approx. €75 mil., was estimated by an independent and chartered assessor at the beginning of 2010. The same value was taken into consideration for the financial statements of 31.12.2010.

2.6 Intangible Assets

2.6.1 Trademarks and Licenses

The acquired trademarks and licenses are initially recognized at historical cost.

The licenses have a finite useful life and are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the method of the useful life with a view to the allocation of trademarks and licenses costs throughout their estimated useful life.

2.6.2 Other Intangible Assets

This category incorporates the Group's rental rights, initially recognized at their acquisition cost. After the initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment loss that may have occurred. It also includes purchased software used in administration or production process. The acquired licenses related to software are capitalized on the basis of the incurred expenses during the acquisition and installation of the software. The costs associated with the maintenance of computer software are recognized in the period in which they occur. The capitalized costs are depreciated based on the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.

2.6.3 Assets Impairments

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are not amortized, are reviewed for impairment at least annually. The assets subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment when there are indications that their carrying value may not be recoverable. The retrievable amount is the higher between the fair value less the costs required for the disposal and the value in use of the asset. The use value is determined by discounting the future cash flows using the appropriate discount rate. If the recoverable value is less than the undischarged, then the latter is reduced down to its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized as expenses in the income statement of the period they incurred, unless the asset has been readjusted so that the impairment loss decreases the corresponding revaluation reserve. When in a later period the impairment loss should be reversed, the carrying value of the asset is increased up to the level of the revised estimate of recoverable amount, provided that the new book value does not exceed the residual value as it would have been determined if the impairment losses had not been registered in previous periods. The reversal of the loss is recognized as an income, unless the asset has been readjusted. In this case, the reversal increases the corresponding revaluation reserve.

For the assessment of impairment losses, assets are included in the smallest possible cash-generating units.

2.7 Financial Assets

2.7.1 Initial Recognition

Financial assets are recorded in the Group's balance sheet, since it becomes part of the contractual provisions of the instrument.

The assets of the group are classified in the following categories:

  • Loans and receivables, receivables from trading activities
  • Current and time deposits
  • Financial assets at fair value through profit
  • Financial assets available for sale, and
  • Investments held to maturity.

Financial assets are divided into different categories by management, based on their characteristics and the purpose for which they were acquired.

The category in which each financial instrument is classified, differs from the others as different rules apply with respect to their valuation and the recognition of each designated financial result either in the income statement or directly in equity. Financial assets are recognized depending on the accounting date that the trade was executed.

ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 01.01-31.12.2015

(THE AMOUNTS IN ALL TABLES ARE EXPRESSED IN EURO)

43

2.7.2 Financial Assets at fair value through results

Financial assets deriving their fair value through the income statement, include assets held primarily for commercial purposes valued by the group at fair price through income statement upon initial recognition. In addition, derivative financial assets which do not qualify for accounting hedge are classified in this category.

Financial assets included in this category are valued at fair value through the results and cannot be reclassified to another category. The financial assets that have been classified in this in this category include shares listed on the Athens and Cyprus Stock Exchange and mutual fund shares.

2.7.3 Investments held until maturity

The held-to maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determined payments and fixed maturity. The financial assets classified as held-to maturity investments as long as management is willing and able to hold them until maturity.

After initial recognition, investments that fall into this category are valued at residual cost, using the effective interest rate method. The residual cost is the amount in which the financial asset was initially measured or the financial liability after the deduction of principal repayments, including or excluding any accumulated depreciation of any difference between that initial amount and the amount payable at maturity, calculated with the method of effective interest rate, after the deduction of any devaluation. The calculation includes all fees and units paid or received between the parties, which are considered an integral part of the effective interest rate, the transaction costs and any discount or impairment.

Moreover, if there is any evidence that a financial asset has declined in value, then the investment is valued at the present value of projected cash flows and any difference from the book value of the investment is recognized in the income statement as a loss.

Fair Value

The fair value of the investments in an active market is demonstrated by reference to quoted market prices on the balance sheet date. If the market for an investment is not active, management determines the fair value using valuation techniques. The purpose of using a valuation technique is the determination of the transaction price on the measurement date, based on an entirely commercial context, driven by regular business considerations. The evaluation methods include among others, the use of recent commercial-based transactions, the reference to the current fair value of a relevant instrument, as well as the analysis its of discounted cash flows.

2.8 Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower price between the acquisition value and net realizable value. Cost is calculated based on the weighted average cost. Net realizable value is estimated based on the inventories current selling prices in the context of the ordinary course of business and after the deduction of any selling expenses where applicable.

2.9 Loans, receivables from business and other receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that have no quoted price in the active market. They come into existence when the Group provides money, products or services directly to a debtor with no intention of commercial claim.

Loans and receivables are measured at unamortized cost, using the effective interest method, less any devaluation provisions. Every change in the value of loans and receivables is recognized in the income statement when the loans and receivables are eliminated or undergo a value discount, as well as during the application of the effective interest method.

The receivables from commercial activities are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently are measured at

ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 01.01-31.12.2015 (THE AMOUNTS IN ALL TABLES ARE EXPRESSED IN EURO)

unamortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Appropriate allowance for estimated irrecoverable amounts, are recognized in the income statement when there is objective evidence that the asset has been impaired. The recognized provision is measured as the difference between the book value of the asset and the present value of its expected cash flows discounted at the applicable effective interest rate upon the initial recognition. For some receivables, impairment checks are executed per individual requirement (e.g. for each customer separately) whenever the recovery of the claim has been declared overdue on the date of the financial statements or in cases where objective evidence indicates the need for an impairment. Other assets are pooled and tested for impairment in total. The amount of impairment losses is the difference between the carrying value and the estimated future cash flows of the receivables. The amount of impairment loss is recorded as an expense in the financial results.

Receivables and loans are included in current assets, except those falling due after twelve months from the balance sheet date. These are characterized as non-current assets. They are also classified as commercial and other receivables in the balance sheet and constitute a vast proportion of the Group's financial assets.

2.10 Cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include the cash deposited in the bank or held in hand, as well as short term highly liquid investments such as repos and deposits maturing in less than three months.

For the preparation of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, excluding the outstanding balances of bank overdrafts.

2.11 Share Capital

Common shares are classified as equity. Direct costs linked with the issuance of shares, are considered after the deduction of the relative income tax. Direct costs associated with the issuing of shares towards the acquisition of other companies are included in the acquisition cost of the purchased company. The acquisition cost of treasury shares after the exclusion of income tax (if applicable), is shown as a deduction in the group's equity, until the aforementioned shares are sold or canceled. Any gain or loss from the sale of treasury shares, free of direct transaction costs and other income tax, if any, is presented as an equity reserve.

2.12 Financial Obligations

2.12.1 Initial Recognition

The financial liabilities are registered in the Group's balance sheet once the group becomes part of the contractual provisions of the instrument. The group's financial liabilities include bank loans and overdraft accounts (overdraft), trade and other payables, as well as financial leases.

Financial liabilities are classified in the following categories:

  • Financial liabilities available at fair value through financial results
  • Financial liabilities available at depreciated cost.

2.12.2 Financial Obligations (other than loans)

Financial liabilities are recognized when the group is involved in a contractual agreement of the financial instrument and are deleted when the group is exempted from the liability or this is cancelled or expired. Liabilities from financial leases are measured at initial value less the amount of financial capital repayments, while interest is recognized as an expense item in the "Financial expenses" in the Income Statement. Trade payables are recognized initially at their nominal value and subsequently are measured at the unamortized cost. Gains and losses are recognized in the Income Statement when the liabilities are eliminated, as well as when the effective interest rate method is applied. Dividends to shareholders are recognized in the account "Dividends Payable", when approved by the General Meeting of Shareholders.

Liabilities from trading activities are recognized initially at their fair value and subsequently are measured at the undepreciated cost using the effective interest rate method.

45

2.12.3 Bank Loans

All loans are initially recognized at cost, which is the fair value of the amount received, irrespective of their direct issuing expenses. After the initial recognition, loans are evaluated at their undepreciated cost, based on the method of the effective interest rate, and any difference is recorded in the financial results during the loan period.

2.13 Accounting Income Tax

2.13.1 Current Income Tax

Current tax claims / liabilities include those claims or obligations imposed by the tax authorities relating to the current or previous reporting periods that have not been paid until the balance sheet date. They are calculated according to the prevailing tax rates and tax laws on the basis of the taxable profits each year. All changes on the current tax claims or liabilities are recognized as expense in the income statement.

2.13.2 Deferred Income Tax

Deferred income tax is calculated based on the liability method which focuses on the temporary differences. This involves the comparison of the book value of the claims and liabilities on the consolidated financial statements with their respective tax bases. Deferred tax claims are recognized to the extent that they are likely to be offset against future income taxes.

The group recognizes a previously unrecognized deferred tax claim to the extent that a future taxable profit is likely to be generated.

The deferred tax claim is reviewed on every balance sheet date and is reduced up to the extent that a sufficient taxable profit that would allow the recovery of such claim is not likely to be generated.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Tax losses can be transferred to subsequent periods are recognized as deferred tax liabilities.

Deferred tax claims and liabilities are measured based on the tax rates expected to apply during the settlement period of the claim or liability, taking into account the tax rates (and tax laws) substantially prevailing on the date of Balance Sheet.

Changes in deferred tax claims or liabilities are recognized as part of the income tax on the income statement, except for those resulting from specific changes on assets or liabilities, which are recognized directly in the Group's equity and result in a relative change in deferred tax claims or liabilities being charged / credited to the relevant equity account.

2.14 Retirement Benefits and Short-term Employee Benefits

2.14.1 Short-term Benefits

Short-term benefits for employees (other than benefits for the termination of employment) in cash and in kind are recognized as an expense when accrued. Any unpaid amount is recorded as a liability, unless the amount already paid exceeds the amount of benefits. Then, the company recognizes this excessive amount as an asset (prepaid expense) only to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a series of lower future payments or a refund.

2.14.2 Benefits payable after leaving service

The Group has both programs of fixed contributions as well as programs of fixed provisions.

2.14.2.1 Defined Contribution

The staff group is mainly covered by the main State Insurance Agency on the private sector (IKA) provided pension and medical benefits. Each employee is required to contribute part of their monthly salary to the fund, while contributing a portion covered by the group. Upon retirement, the pension fund responsible for paying pension benefits to employees. Consequently the group has no legal or constructive obligation to pay future benefits under this program.

ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 01.01-31.12.2015

Under the defined contribution plan, the group's obligation (legal or constructive) is limited to the amount agreed to contribute to the organization (e.g. fund) that manages contributions and provides benefits. Thus the amount of benefits the employee will receive is determined by the amount paid by the group (or the employee) and paid by the investment of contributions thereof. A contribution payable by the group in a defined contribution plan is recognized as a liability after removal of the levy paid and a corresponding output.

2.14.2.2 Defined Benefit Liabilities – Retirement Benefit due to service exit

The obligation in the balance sheet for defined benefit plans is the present value of the liability for the defined benefit under the Law 2112/20 and changes resulting from any actuarial gains or losses and past service cost. Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in the proportional cases at the end of the previous year exceeded 10% of defined benefit obligation, are charged or credited to the results based on the expected average remaining working lives of employees participating in this program.

Past service cost is recognized directly in profit or loss, unless the changes in pension plans are optional for the retention of workers in service for a specified period (vesting date). In this case, the service cost is amortized on a regular basis until the date of vesting of benefits. The termination benefits paid service when employment is terminated by the group before the normal retirement date, or when an employee accepts voluntary retirement from service in return for these benefits. The group recognizes these termination benefits when demonstrably committed to either terminate the employment of workers according to a detailed formal plan without possibility of withdrawal or providing termination benefits as a result of the bid to encourage voluntary redundancy. Where termination benefits attributable to service rendered beyond twelve months after the balance sheet date, discounted to present value.

The actuarial study was conducted by an independent actuary using the method of projected unit credit (projected unit credit method). Specifically, the study involved the investigation and calculation of actuarial sizes required by the standards set by International Accounting Standards (IAS 19) and is required to be registered in the balance sheet and income statement of each company.

2.15 Other Provisions

Provisions are recognized when a present commitment is likely to lead to a reliably-estimated outflow of economic resources for the Group. The timing or the amount of the outflow can be uncertain. A present obligation arises from the existence of a legal or constructive obligation resulting from past events. Each formed prediction is used only for the expenses that it was originally meant to cover. Provisions are reviewed on each balance sheet date and are adjusted in order to reflect the best current estimate.

The provisions are valued at the expected cost required for the present commitment to be settled, based on the most trustworthy evidence available on the balance sheet date, including the risks and uncertainties related to this commitment. When the effect of time value of money is significant, the amount of the provision is the present value of the expenses expected to be required for the settlement of the obligation.

When discounting method is used, the book value of a forecast increases in each period so as to reflect the passage of time. This increase is recognized as an expense in financial results. When there is a number of similar commitments, the likelihood that an outflow will be required towards a settlement, is determined by taking into account the category of commitments, as a whole. A provision is recognized even if the possibilities of an outflow included in the category of commitments are limited. If it is not likely that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required for the settlement of the commitment, the provision is reversed.

2.16 Contingent liabilities

Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the financial statements but are disclosed, unless the probability of resource outflows incorporating economic benefits is minimal.

2.17 Contingent assets

Possible inflows of economic benefits for the group not being able to be recognized as assets, are considered contingent assets and are disclosed in the notes of the financial statements.

2.18 Leasing

2.18.1 Company Group as lessee

2.18.1.1 Finance Leases

The ownership of a leased asset is transferred to the lessee, if and only if all risks and benefits associated with the leased asset are transferred to him, independent of the legal form of contract. At the beginning of the leasing period, the asset is recognized at fair value or if lower, at the present value of minimum lease payments including extra payments if any, covered by the lessee. A corresponding amount is recognized as an obligation of the lease irrespective of whether some of the lease payments are made in advance, at the beginning of the lease.

2.18.1.2 Operational Leases

All other leases are treated as operating leases. The payments related to operating lease contracts are recognized as an expense in the financial results based on the straight-line method (correlation between revenue and expense). The relative costs, such as maintenance and insurance are recognized as an expense when incurred.

2.18.2 Group Company as Lessor

2.18.2.1 Operational Leases

When the Group does not transfer all risks and benefits of the asset, leases are classified as operating leases. Initial direct costs incurred by lessors in negotiating and agreeing an operating lease are added to the book value of the leased asset and recognized, throughout the whole lease period, as rental income.

2.19 Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recognized to the extent that the economic benefits that will flow into the Group are likely to be measured reliably. Revenues are free of added value tax, discounts and returns. Income among Group's companies, which are consolidated based on the full consolidation method, are entirely eliminated.

The recognition of revenue is as follows:

2.19.1 Sales of Goods

Revenues are recognized, when the significant risks and benefits stemming from the ownership of goods are transferred to the buyer and the collection of receivables is reasonably assured. The wholesale sales of goods are mainly executed on credit.

2.19.2 Services

Revenues from service contract agreements with a predetermined value, are recognized based on the stage of the transaction on the balance sheet date. Under this method, the income is recognized based on the proportion of services provided until the date of financial statements, with respect to the total of services to be performed. When the result of a transaction cannot be estimated reliably, the income is recognized only to the extent that

the recognized expenses are recoverable.

In cases of changes in the initial estimates of revenues, expenditures, or the level of integration, these changes may lead to increases or decreases in the estimated revenues or costs and are recorded in the period's revenues.

48

2.19.3 Dividends

The dividend income is recognized when the right to receive payment.

2.19.4 Interest Income

Interest income is recognized based on the time proportion, as well as using the effective interest rate method.

2.19.5 Income from Rents

Income from rents is recognized on the accrual basis in accordance with the terms of the relevant agreements.

3. Financial Information per segment

The operational sectors of the Group are strategic units selling different goods. They are monitored and managed separately by the board of Directors, because these goods are of completely different nature in terms of market demand and gross profit margin.

The sectors of Group are the following:

- Jewellery, Watches, Accessories:

This sector includes the processing and distribution of jewelleries, watches and relevant accessories.

- Department Stores:

This sector deals with the operation of the department stores.

- Clothing - Footwear:

This sector concerns the wholesale and retail sales of branded clothing, footwear as well as perfumes and cosmetics.

Other Activities:

Investments in affiliated companies in the financial statements of the parent, are subject to an impairment of their value once a year (namely on 31.12 of each year), based on the value in use. In the event that the value in use of cash-generating units is less than the carrying value, an impairment loss equal to the difference is directly recognized.

With regard to the subsidiaries in Asia there are no impairment indications, because their equity is much greater than the participation value and therefore no impairment investigations are in place.

Due to the special market conditions (especially in the last two years), the other subsidiaries (Europe - Greece), are subject to an inspection for potential impairment once a year (namely on 31.12). In 2015, there were indications for impairment of the subsidiaries, as a result, provisions amounted to € 6 million were formed. Throughout the previous years, relative impairments had been finalized based on their value in use. These impairments were amounted to € 4.3 million, resulting in a reduction on the value of the participation.

A significant proportion of the increase in receivables derives from the impact of foreign exchange rate differences arising from the translation of financial statements of the Group's subsidiaries.

The fair value of these receivables is not substantially different from their carrying value.

In order for the year 2011 to be considered as tax finalized, the provisions of § 1 of Article 6 of POL. 1159/2011 should be met.

ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 01.01-31.12.2015

Provision for the forfeiture of penalty clauses

30.2 Liquidity Risk

Prudent liquidity risk management requires (a) maintaining sufficient cash and (b) the availability of funding through adequate credit lines.

The Treasury Department prepares statements of expected future cash flows which are reviewed by management in order to better plan the management of liquidity.

Despite the financial crisis and the limitation of liquidity in a global basis, the Group has maintained increased liquidity, thanks to the retail nature of most of its sales, and takes steps towards the further support its liquidity, by creating discount outlets, in order to dispose old stock, as well as by limiting expenses.

Loans and other liabilities of the Group and Company are classified in accordance with their repayment horizon and are shown in the table below. The figures in the table refer to the nominal value of the liability plus interest and therefore may not agree with the amounts in the balance sheet.
