ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 01.01-31.12.2016

II. Significant events during 2016

External Environment

  • The growth of the world economy has consolidated at low rates in 2016. Overall, the global economy is entering a new cycle where the economic and political developments will closely interact under conditions of deleveraging and pressure on incomes. China's transition to a more consumption- and service-based economy continues to influence other emerging market economies, notably commodity producers and countries exposed to China's manufacturing sector.
  • Financial market sentiment towards emerging market economies has improved with expectations of lower interest rates in advanced economies, reduced concern about China's near-term prospects following policy support to growth, and some firming of commodity prices.
  • Beyond 2017, global growth is projected to gradually increase. This recovery in global activity is expected to be driven entirely by emerging markets and developing economies with China maintaining its transition towards consumption- and services-based growth, and continued resilience in other countries. It also reflects the increasing weight in the world economy of large emerging market economies, such as China and India that are growing well above the world average.
  • The Greek economy is expected to show a modest recovery in the short-run in the current year. Several functions of the economy are gradually recovering from the shock of the summer of 2015, returning closer to normality. In addition, reforms in the labour and product markets have a positive, albeit delayed, contribution. The improvement of economic sentiment indicator, resurging manufacturing production and good prospects in tourism industry all reflect stronger activity. Therefore, growth recovery is expected to surface in 2017, as Greece reaps the benefits of the adjustment programme, boosted by the restoration of confidence of the prospects of Greek economy and therefore investment pick-up, on the back of the speeding up of the state property privatizations.
  • Private consumption is expected to remain subdued as indicated by the slumping consumer confidence indicator. Households are heavily affected by the new fiscal austerity measures such as VAT increases; reforms in personal income taxation and the pension system. Furthermore, the more intensive and extensive use of electronic means of payment stimulates GDP and tax revenues, reducing correspondingly the unrecorded activity.
  • The very fast income growth recorded since the entry of Greece in the Euro area and until 2008, supported mainly by external debt, gave way to a fall of about the same intensity until 2016. Nevertheless, even heavily wounded, the Greek economy has not fallen below the level recorded before the entry in the Euro, while it does not lack pulse and positive prospects. A new growth cycle is feasible, yet it cannot start automatically, particularly as the access to foreign capital will necessarily remain limited.
  • The conditions for improvement in the immediate future are certainly present, as revealed by various indicators, such as industrial production, exports of goods and some types of investment. The economy has passed through exceptionally difficult paths, yet it still has a pulse. Regarding economic prospects in 2017, growth is expected to pick up and register a positive figure on the back of structural reforms and privatization. Private consumption is not expected to gain momentum in the near future; therefore, recovery is anticipated to be investment driven.
  • The Greek crisis is taking its course in an unstable and unclear European and international environment. The process of separation of the UK from the EU creates the need for Europe to make significant decisions.

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 derives 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, to be consolidated in the Group's financial statements.

iii) Price risk – Inflation:

According to 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, 2016 the Group employed 4.996 employees, over 5.162 employees on December 31, 2015. The corresponding figures for the Company are 1.099 versus 1.104. 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).

15

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 Social Responsibility

"We Care"

The FF Group's Corporate Responsibility scheme is based upon a wider strategic approach and is defined by the philosophy of each and every distinct company. Every corporate responsibility act is defined by the management's commitments towards the employees, the shareholders, the clients, the suppliers, and the society at large. In a wider sense, these stakeholders constitute the family, in which the FF Group grows, operating with responsibility and respect. The Group's Corporate Responsibility scheme applies globally, in all markets that the company enters, confirming its respect to all the relevant communities and corresponding to each region's needs. Taking always into account the diversity and particularity of each one of the 30 countries of its operation, the Group develops and implements a holistic and focused Corporate Social Responsibility Programme, according to the basic axes that the Headquarters in Athens define. With the basic axes evolving around Culture and Sports, Society and Environment, the FF Group's Corporate Responsibility Programme spreads through both a national and international level.

Culture/Sports Axis

Being a Group that operates in many different countries, the FF Group embraces culture and arts as global means of communication that unite civilizations. Thus, culture has been a major feature of the social contribution of the FF Group: the cooperation with organizations which promote culture and arts is considered as of really high importance in order to preserve each region's cultural heritage and also to support the artists' efforts. The FF Group is a member and support actively Benaki Museum in Athens.

In the past, the FF Group has sponsored several cultural events in Greece and abroad, events such as the first Kabuki Theater in Megaron-the Athens Concert Hall, Stefanos Korkolis' concert in Herodeion and Dionysis Savopoulos' concert in Benaki Museum in Athens. Our philosophy regarding arts and culture is transferred globally: in October 2005, Folli Follie was honoured to support the Hong Kong closing concert of the Greek performer Nana Moushouri, who is a UNESCO Good Will Ambassador. Moreover, in May 2007, during Mrs Dora Bakoyannis', Minister of External Affairs visit in China, Folli Follie sponsored the renowned Greek singer, Alkistis Protopsalti's concert, in the Forbidden City of Beijing.

Folli Follie also sponsored the "Sensitivity Questioned" exhibition that was hosted at Ileana Tounta Gallery, in Athens in 2010. The exhibition was dedicated to femininity through the eyes of a male, with the participation of famous Greek and international artists.

In March 2013, the FF Group sponsored the 7th Panorama of Contemporary Greek Cinema, organized in Paris by the Greek Cultural Centre.

In 2014 and 2015, the Group sponsored the performances of Theatroparea '08, which is a non-profit organization and part of the proceeds were donated to charities.

Along the Sports axis, Folli Follie honoured the Vouliagmeni female polo team – European Champion 2010 – by dedicating and naming a sports watch collection "Water Champ". Folli Follie, as a company which always promotes its Hellenic heritage and roots wanted to express its gratitude to the "golden girls" of the female polo team. The "Water Champ" collection is one of the company's most symbolic watch collections and enjoys a great success.

In August 2012, Folli Follie sponsored the sailing race "Aegean Regatta 2012". The race took place in Greece for the 11th consecutive year, starting from the island of Mytilene in the North Aegean sea and reaching its final destination, the island of Syros in the Cyclades. Folli Follie shares with the "Aegean Regatta" Tournament the same respect and admiration towards Greece and also the strong will to promote the country's beauty abroad. For this reason, Folli Follie offered to the participants a 2 days free docking in the Tourist Port ("Marina") of Mytilene, the port from where the yachting boats started their race and awarded the winners with the Folli Follie "Regatta" collection watches.

In 2012, the FF Group through Converse and in collaboration with the municipality of Piraeus, took over the repair of an abandoned basketball court, in a neglected neighborhood, rejuvenated it by painting it with vivid colors and offered it back to the local community. This activation provided the neighborhood's young inhabitants with a new and pleasant place of entertainment and sports.

In 2012 and 2013, Folli Follie honouring its Greek Heritage and aiming to stand by any initiative that promotes the modern face of Greece, sponsored the "Spetses Classic Yacht Race", which featured some of the most renowned classic yachts in Greece using as a backdrop the beautiful island of Spetses in Greece. Additionally, Folli Follie in 2013 was a proud supporter of Spetses Mini Marathon in Spetses, Greece, showcasing how sportsmanship and athletic lifestyle can be ideally combined with striking style. Another Corporate Responsibility initiative of the FF Group, and one that the company takes great pride in, is the Folli Follie sponsoring the Greek Delegation of the X Special Olympics World Winter Games in Peyong Chang, Korea in 2013.

Links of London, the Creators of the Official Jewellery Collection of London 2012 Olympic Games, proudly supported the first ladies running competition which took place in Greece, the "Ladies Run" for three consecutive years (2012-2014). Hundreds of women, who are passionate for running, were gathered in Laimos, Vouliagmeni, participated in the race and each one of them was awarded with the exclusively designed and limited edition Ladies Run bracelet.

Society Axis

The activities of the FF Group extend to long-lasting charity initiatives throughout Greece and globally, covering the needs of schools, non-profit institutions and NGOs that involve children, the tenderest part of society as well as women. In addition, the FF Group continues to demonstrate its sensitivity to social solidarity issues that are not direct business actions but topics, which the company feels a great responsibility to bring to the public's attention.

As for the rest of the world, the FF Group sponsors various charitable causes dedicated to public welfare, such as the Cancer Fund in Hong Kong, where it has been the major sponsor of the "Pink Revolution" campaign for a series of years.

In autumn 2009, Folli Follie designed and distributed internationally two limited edition bracelets in collaboration with the leading non-profit organisation "Save the Children", and part of their proceeds was donated to support its remarkable activities.

During 2011 Folli Follie also supported the non-profit organization "The Art of Elysium" through the opening of the new Folli Follie boutiques in New York (Soho & Lord & Taylor). This organization was established in 1997 and its objective is to encourage working actors, artists and musicians to voluntarily dedicate their time and talent to children who are battling serious medical conditions. For this purpose, FF Group's employees in New York were prompted to participate in the workshop that took place in the Hospital for Joint Diseases, by sharing their personal talents with these children. The works that were created in this workshop were presented during the opening of Folli Follie's shop in shop at Lord & Taylor.

In Spain, Folli Follie actively supports the purposes for the last five years (2010-2014) of the "SOS Foundation" through the launch of a specially designed collection, and part of this collection proceeds were offered to the International "SOS Foundation". In order to honour Mrs Ketty Koutsolioutsos, co-founder of Folli Follie, a department of a nursery that was built in Cangut Village in Senegal, was named as "Ketty's Nursery".

In 2013 and 2014, Folli Follie Greece joined forces with the non-profit association I LIVE FOR ME and designed a limited edition bracelet inspired by the association's logo, the butterfly. Folli Follie and I LIVE FOR ME found in the face of Tonia Sotiropoulou, a famous Greek model/ actress, the ideal ambassador for this initiative. Links of London is also an active participant of the FF Group's social responsibility programs focused on Greek society and especially children. During 2008, the brand offered part of its "Friendship Bracelet" proceeds to the "Mazi gia to Paidi" non-profit organisation.

In 2010, Links of London also organized an ambassadors' initiative, named "Sweetie… It's all about you!", to support the causes Links of London of "Make-A-Wish" foundation in Greece.

The support towards the "Make-A-Wish" foundation continued for a second year through the collaboration with the renowned Greek singer Antonis Remos, who designed a friendship bracelet, profits of which were donated to the organization.

ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 01.01-31.12.2016 20 For three consecutive years (2010-2012) Links of London supported Make-A-Wish® foundation and created a limited edition handmade bracelet signed by Vicky Kaya, who is the Ambassador of Make-A-Wish® Greece. An important part of the bracelets' sales proceedings were offered to Make-A-Wish®, with the aim to fulfill all the wishes of children from 3-18 years old, who suffer from serious illness and encourage them to continue fighting for their lives. The "Make-A-Wish" foundation sponsorship was completed with a major charity event, maximizing the impact of this great initiative.

In addition, Links of London created for the Fall/Winter 2011 collection 7 cord bracelets, each one of them representing activation against hunger throughout the world. Part of the bracelets proceeds were offered to FEED Foundation, a non-profit organization, which was formed by Lauren Bush and Ellen Gustafson and is dedicated to supporting programs and organizations that are effectively working to fight hunger and eliminate malnutrition throughout the world. This activation was held with great success in the United Kingdom and the United States and set a good example to other countries where Links of London is present.

The close relationship that the FF Group has developed with Japan during the past 25 years led to actively demonstrating its support towards those affected by the devastating earthquake and subsequent tsunami that struck Japan on March 2011. Folli Follie brand donated 10% of global sales of the entire Heart4Heart Collection and Links of London 10% of the global sales of the classic Friendship Bracelet to support the Japanese Red Cross. In December 2012, the FF Group supported the reconstruction of the building of Merimna, which is a nonprofit organization with the main goal of caring for children and families who are facing a serious illness, loss or death. The FF Group takes great pride in the initiative of its employees based in Greece. During December 2013, an FF Group employee task force organized a three-day charity bazaar in which FF Group products were sold and the FF Group employees offered their services voluntarily. The FF Group Christmas Charity Bazaar lead to raising 80,000 €, all of which were offered to the organization "Mazi gia to Paidi", reaching out to thousands of children in need in Greece.

During October 2015 the FF Group's employees with the Management's support organized the gathering of food, clothes, shoes, blankets and hygiene items in order to offer relief to refugees and people that are in a difficult socio-economic condition, supporting the Ark of the World and the Municipality of Athens. Additionally, the Group supported this initiative with the offering of 2,500 pair of shoes and 90 boxes with clothes. During 2015, Factory Outlet helped the project of the Ark of the World and a visit to the center building of the organization in Athens, sealed a strong support relationship. Moreover, the Factory Outlet has undertaken entirely the completion of the Apiary in the border Ark of Pogoniani. The apiary has recently started operating and offering creative activities and opportunities for learning to the children that are hosted in the small village of Ioannina.

In June 2016 FF Group actively supported the social facilities of Lesvos Island with a donation of major importance.

Since the mid of November 2016 Folli Follie supports the Foundation Coeurs Pour Tous Hellas and its charity work for poor children with congenital or acquired heart diseases. Folli Follie in association with the Foundation Coeurs Pour Tous Hellas (CPTH) found in the face of Smaragda Karydi, Vasso Laskaraki, Katerina Papoutsaki and Katerina Geronikolou, the ideal Ambassadors. These well-known and beloved actors embraced gracefully with enthusiasm this initiative which aims to give hope to needy children and their families.

Part of the proceeds from all the purchases of Heart4Heart jewelry, watches and accessories will be offered to support the Foundation. The emblematic Folli Follie motif - consisting of 4 hearts - becomes a symbol of hope and the inspiration behind this initiative of unconditional love.

Environment Axis

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.

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 Associates

Associates are companies in which the group has the ability to exercise significant influence and are not subsidiaries or joint ventures. Significant influence is the power to participate in decisions on financial and business policies of the company, but not the control over those policies. Significant influence normally exists when the Group holds between 20% and 50% of the voting rights through ownership of shares or through another type of agreement.

Investments in associates are initially recognized at cost and for consolidation purposes, the equity method is used. The goodwill included in the carrying amount (cost) of the investment and is reviewed for impairment as part of the investment. When a group entity transacts with an associate of the Group, any intercompany profits and losses are eliminated to the extent of participation of the Group at the relevant associate. All subsequent changes in the rate of participation in the equity of the associate are recognized in the carrying amount of the group's investment.

Changes stemming from profits or losses of associates are recognized in the consolidated income statement and changes that have been directly recognized in equity of associates are recognized in the consolidated equity of the group. Any changes recognized directly in equity and are not associated with the result, such as the distribution of dividends or other transactions with shareholders of the associate recognized against the carrying value of the participation. No effect on the net result or equity is recognized in these transactions.

When the share of losses group in an associate equals or exceeds the carrying amount of the investment, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognize further losses, unless the Group has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf the associate. The accounting policies of associates are changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

In the financial statements of the parent company, investments in associated companies are valued in accordance with IAS 28, at acquisition cost less any accumulated losses from impairment.

2.3.3 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

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 2016.

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.

47

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.

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.

ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 01.01-31.12.2016

48

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 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.

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.

50

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.

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.

ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 01.01-31.12.2016 Past service cost is recognized directly in profit or loss, unless the changes in pension plans are optional for the

(THE AMOUNTS IN ALL TABLES ARE EXPRESSED IN EURO)

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.

52

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.

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:

This sector includes the sales to exterior customers which are below 5

The accounting policies underlying the operating sectors are the same as those used for the generation of the financial statements. The efficiency of the sectors is calculated based on the profitability, on a pre-tax income and without taking into account figures such as non-recurring and foreign exchange transactions that management monitors in total.

The analysis of goodwill as of 31.12.2016 is as following:

  • An amount of € 39.374 thousands is shown in the assets of the parent company, resulting from the absorption and refers to acquisition goodwill of the company ELMEC SPORT SA.
  • An amount of € 1.054 thousands concerns the goodwill arising from the market in 2016 using the company Sales Manager Hellas EPE (CLOUDBIZ LTD)
  • An amount of € 52.366 thousands concerns goodwill arising from the purchase of the company LINKS (LONDON) LIMITED by a subsidiary of the Group.
  • An amount of € 2.635 thousands concerns goodwill arising from the purchase of the companies JUICY COUTURE EUROPE LTD and JUICY COUTURE IRELAND LTD by a subsidiary of the Group.

Concerning recognized goodwill, note that the goodwill acquired in a business merge is initially recognized at cost, which is the excess of the cost of the merging over the proportion of the group, in the fair value of net assets acquired.

After the initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost, less any accumulated impairment losses. The Group examines goodwill for impairment at least annually. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

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 2016, there were indications for impairment of the subsidiaries. Consequently, provisions which amounted to € 6 million were formed. These impairments amounted to € 9 million, resulting in a reduction on the financial investment results.

Throughout the periods 2011-2013, the Parent company and its subsidiaries subject to tax audit by statutory auditors, in accordance with the provisions of Article 82 § 5 of Law 2238/1994, were given a clear Tax Compliance Report without reservations.

For the tax audit of 2014 & 2015, the Company and its subsidiaries meeting the relevant criteria for inclusion in the tax audit of Certified Auditors provided for by Article 65A § 1 of Law 4174/2013 and No. POL. 1124/2015 received a Tax Compliance Report without reservation.

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.

For the years 2012 and beyond, the companies audited by statutory auditors and audit firms to implement tax provisions are selected for audit matters in accordance with Article 26 of N. 4174/2013, as amended. This audit can be performed within the period covered by the right of the Tax Administration to issue tax assessment acts. The tax audit for the year 2016 is ongoing and no additional tax liabilities that have been recorded in the financial statements are about to incur.

Provision for litigious cases

This provision is equal to € 1.105 thousands and is based on the fact that the parent company is exposed to pending law cases; the Greek State is the plaintiff in these cases and the above amount is a reliable evaluation of the amounts required to be paid if the final decision is against the Company.

Provision for the forfeiture of penalty clauses

This provision is equal to € 83,4 thousands and stems from the fact that the Group's subsidiaries may be required to pay certain amounts as penalty clauses to its suppliers with whom the company has contracted a shop-in-shop commercial cooperation contract, if such cooperation is prematurely terminated, under specific conditions and terms.

30.2 Liquidity Risk

Prudent liquidity risk management requires (a) maintaining sufficient cash and (b) the availability of funding through adequate credit lines. Due to the dynamic nature of its activities, the Group maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining high unused credit limits in short-term bank loans. 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.

30.3 Asset Management

Asset management aims to ensure that the Group will continue its activities to provide profits to shareholders and benefits for other shareholders, while maintaining a capital structure that minimizes the cost of capital. A key indicator used by the asset manager is the leverage ratio, calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings (including short and long term loans) minus cash. The leverage ratio is depicted below:
