2.2. Basis of preparation of the company and consolidated financial statements for 9M 2022

The company and consolidated financial statements for the nine months of 2022 have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board (IASB) and their interpretations as issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) of IASB and adopted by the European Union and are mandatory for fiscal years starting on 1.1.2022. There are no standards and interpretations of standards that have been applied before the date they go into effect.

The financial statements for the nine-month period that ended on 30.09.2022 have been drafted on the basis of International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting."

The attached financial statements have been drafted on the basis of historical cost (except owner-occupied assets, investments in real estate and financial assets through other income, which are valued at fair value) and the principle of "going concern", which assumes that the Company and its subsidiaries will be able to continue their operations as going concerns for the foreseeable future. In particular, the Management of the Group and the Company, taking into account the current and projected financial position of the Group and the Company

and their liquidity levels (including the observance of medium-term budgets) estimates that the use of the going concern principle when drawing up the attached interim of condensed financial statements is appropriate.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards requires that the Management of the Group make important assumptions and accounting estimates that affect the balances of the Asset and Liability accounts, the disclosure of contingent claims and liabilities on the preparation date of the Financial Statements, as well as the revenues and expenses presented in the period in question. Despite the fact that these estimates are based on the best possible knowledge of the management of the Company as regards the current conditions, actual results may differ from these estimates in the end.

Estimates and judgments are continuously evaluated, and are based on empirical data and other factors, including anticipation of future events that are to be expected under reasonable conditions.

2.3. Basic Accounting Principles

The basic accounting principles adopted by the Group and the Company for the preparation of the attached financial statements do not differ from those used for the publication of the Six Month 2022 Financial Report that has been audited by the auditors of the Group and is posted on the internet at www.athexgroup.gr.

2.33. Current income tax and income taxes payable

Non-deductible expenses mainly include provisions, various expenses as well as amounts which the Company considers that they will not be considered justifiable production expenses in a potential tax audit and which are adjusted by management when the income tax is calculated.

Group Company
Income tax 30.09.2022 30.09.2021 30.09.2022 30.09.2021

Tax effect of non-deductible expenses 100 30 57 20
Income tax expense / (revenue) 1,985 875 620 (27)

The tax effect of non-taxable income mainly includes income from dividends by subsidiaries, which are eliminated on a consolidated basis. The reduction compared to 2021 is due to the tax benefit of the sale of Piraeus Bank shares.

Tax audit of the Company for fiscal years 2008, 2009 and 2010

The Company was tax audited for tax years 2008, 2009 and 2010 by the Large Corporation Audit Center (KEMEP) in accordance with audit order 760/4/1118/22.12.2015. On 11.7.2016 the Company was notified about the acts of temporary corrective tax determination and audit findings note by the Large Corporation Audit Center (KEMEP).

Within the time limits of the law, on 30.9.2016, the Company filed an administrative appeal in accordance with article 63 of Law 4174/2013 at the Dispute Settlement Division (DED) of the General Secretariat of Public Revenue (GGDE), against the findings of the tax audit, and at the same time paid 100% of the amount due i.e. €1,562 thousand, in order to avoid the accumulation, calculation and assessment of interest for the duration of the suspension of the sum due (article 53 §1 of law 4174/2013).

The result of the Company's appeal before the Dispute Settlement Division (DED), was the reduction of the assessed additional taxes and surcharges by the amount of €579 thousand, an amount which has already been returned to the Company by the Tax Office through netting with tax liabilities of the Company. Subsequently, the Company exercised its right to further appeal to the Administrative Courts in order to be reimbursed the remaining amount of additional taxes and surcharges totaling €983 thousand. The Company received a summons and appeared before the Administrative Court of Appeal for the hearing of its case, which with decision no. 3901/2018 referred the case to the competent Three-Member Administrative Court of First Instance of Athens.

On February 9, 2022, the Company was notified of decisions no. 113/2022 and 114/2022 of the Administrative Court of First Instance of Athens with which the appeal of the Company was partially accepted and as a result on 5 April 2022 the amount of €625 thousand was returned. On 8 April 2022 the Company appealed to the Administrative Court of Appeals for the return of the amount of €270 thousand; the court date was set, the appeals were discussed on 29 July 2022, and a decision is awaited.
