In 2020 the global economy recorded a recession due to the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the World Economic Prospects report issued by the World Bank in January 2021. Global GDP growth is estimated to have dropped from 2.3% in 2019 to a recession of -4. 3% in 2020. In the euro area was especially concerned about the recession as the Gross Domestic Product declined by -7.4% compared to a growth of 1.3% in 2019. After the recession in 2020, the World Bank expects the economic output in the euro area as well as globally to expand between 3% and 4%.
In 2020 the recession in Greece, according to the recent (February 2021) estimates of the European Commission, will approach -10% and the unemployment rate is estimated at 16.5%, taking into account, among other things, the support measures of the SURE program. In these circumstances, the State Budget of 2021 estimates that the growth rate of GDP in the current year will be 4.8% and tourism revenues will approach the level of 60% of revenues in 2019. The recent (February 2021) estimate of European Commission for 2021, considers that the growth rate of GDP in Greece, this year, will be 3.5%. At the same time, in a recent (February 2021) research it is predicted that in 2021 the GDP growth rate in Greece will be 3.2% (baseline scenario), 2.2% (pessimistic scenario) and 4.1% (optimistic scenario).
Despite the decline related to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the security printing market continues to grow, and specifically the digital transformation solutions, as new opportunities arise in the market sectors in which the Group already operates, such as financial institutions or utility companies that lead for example outsourcing their in-house printing services. However, there is a continuous transition from paper to electronic communication due to the growing environmental awareness, but also due to the increasing penetration of the internet, thus creating new opportunities. At the same time, the digital transformation of businesses and organizations, the transition to digital communication and interactive data management has begun. The Group innovates in the digital transformation by providing highly specialized solutions, investing in strengthening its already specialized staff by joining new specialized partners and developing solutions for the implementation and support of its client organizations that will want to introduce digital solutions. In this context, it focuses on expanding the range of solutions provided, both to its existing customers and to the integration of new customers.
In 2020 the COVID-19 pandemic hit the global market significantly. The Group operates in business sectors that were less affected by the pandemic compared to others, however it was affected in various ways and indicatevily we mention:
Thanks to the effort, dedication and commitment of all employees, who were in their positions every day in extremely difficult conditions and the proper planning by the Management we collectively managed this challenge, to continue our smooth operation at every level. In addition, given that our main customers in the financial sector have mostly implemented their planned projects, the Group's performance in 2020 was better than in 2019.
During 2020, Information Management Group achieved to incorporate successfully,
In December 2020, the merger of the Group companies INFORM LYKOS (HELLAS) SA and LYKOS PAPERLESS SOLUTIONS SA took place by absorbing the second from the first according to the provisions of Law 4601/2019, Law 4548/2018 and Law 4172/2013. The merger of the two companies was carried out in the context of an intercompany transformation, by consolidating the assets and liabilities of the acquired company, as they appear in the Transformation Balance Sheet of June 30, 2020, with the assets and liabilities of the Absorbing Company and their transfer as balance sheet items of the latter.

During the year 2020, Group sales decreased by € 2.7 million or 3.7% compared to 2019 and reached € 69.8 million. Compared to the previous year, the key important deviations in the level of sales were the following:
a) revenue loss of € 6 million attributed to COVID-19 pandemic due to the suspension of business operation of our customers in sectors such as Retail and Catering which led to a decrease in customer orders both in Greece and in Romania, as well as
b) one-off project of security ballots production for the presidential elections in Nigeria that took place in the first quarter of 2019 both in Greece and Romania worth of € 4.6 million.
The above negative uncontrolled deviations were largely offset by:
a) full turnover incorporation in 2020 of the two acquisitions of NEXT DOCS companies in Romania contributing € 3.2 million,
b) undertaking of a larger maket share in the postal services both in Greece and Romania by € 3.2 million,
c) renewal of bank payment cards in Greece by € 1.1 million and finally
d) increased contribution by € 0.4 million in turnover of digital transformation solutions, compared to 2019.
The gross margin I improved by 3 points from 34.4% in 2019 to 37.4% in 2020 as in the sales mix are included products and services of higher profitability and specifically the services from the new acquisitions of NEXT DOCS companies in Romania. Gross profit ΙΙ increased by € 0.5 million despite the sales decline and the increase in production costs mainly due to the incorporation of NEXT DOCS companies in Romania and therefore the gross margin II improved by 1.3 points from 16.1% to 17.4% in 2020.

Operating expenses excluding depreciation increased by € 0.9 million or 4.9% from € 19.3 million to € 20.2 million and as a percentage on revenue from 26.6% to 29% in 2020. One of the most important factors in the increase of operating expenses is the full incorporation of the operating expenses of the two acquisitions NEXT DOCS in Romania within 2020 amounting to € 2.2 million. On a comparable basis by excluding

the impact of NEXT DOCS figures incorporation, there is a reduction in costs related to the one-off project of production of Nigeria security ballots in 2019 by € 0.6 million, and reduced costs from the impact of the pandemic on sales by € 0.7 million.
Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (adjusted EBITDA) of the Group increased by 6.6% or € 0.4 million from € 6.2 million reported in 2019 to € 6.6 million in 2020 driven by improved product mix, with higher contribution in the profitability from the services provided to our clients from the NEXT DOCS companies in Romania as well as the digital transformation solutions at Group level and therefore improved our reported gross margin. And adjusted profit before tax (adjusted EBT) decreased by € 0.2 million, primarily due to higher depreciation by € 0.5 million from the new acquisitions in Romania.

Earnings before taxes (EBT) of the Group decreased by € 0.7 million from € 1.1 million in 2019 to € 0.4 million in 2020, due to the provision formed in Romania of € 0.5 million for the fine imposed by the Competition Commission in 2016. On 2 December 2020, the Supreme Court of Romania rejected the Company's refutation with a final and binding court decision. Management is considering appealing to the European Court of Human Rights (see reference to note 31). The consolidated net profit after tax (EAT), decreased marginally by € 0.1 million as in 2019 it was burdened by € 0.7 million reversal of the recognition of deferred tax on previous years' losses.
In conclusion, despite the great challenges faced by the Group in 2020 related to the COVID-19 pandemic, we managed to maintain on a comparable basis the profitability before tax (EBT) to which it returned in 2019 after the loss-making results reported in previous years, rewarding the efforts of its management and trust of its shareholders. Regarding the result after tax, it is marginally loss by € 53 thousands due to income tax amounting to € 465 thousands.

Specifically, in relation to the business performance by main geographical segment, and excluding the intercompany transactions, Sales in Greece reached € 28.1 million compared to € 32.1 million reported in 2019, decreased by € 4 million or -12.4% compared to 2019, mainly from the revenue loss of € 4 million related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the one-off project of the production of security ballots for the presidential elections in Nigeria in 2019, worth of € 2.8 million. These effects were largely compensated by the undertaking of a larger market share in the postal services amounting to € 1.5 million, the renewal of bank payment cards in Greece by € 1.1 million and the increased offering of digital transformation solutions by € 0.2 million, compared to 2019. Despite the sales decrease, the Gross Margin improved by 1 point as a result of the better mix of products, as well as the reduction of production expenses by € 0.9 million and reached 17.5% from 16.6% in 2019, also Gross Profit reduced by € 0.5 million from € 5.5 million in 2019 in euro 5 million in 2020. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (adjusted EBITDA) in 2020 reached for Greece to € 1.7 million compared to € 2.4 million in 2019, decreased by € 0.6 million or -27%, and as a result mainly of revenue loss related to COVID-19 pandemic.
In Romania, the sales increased by 3.5% compared to 2019 and reached € 40.9 million compared to € 39.5 million reported in 2019. This increase of € 1.4 million is attributed to the full turnover incorporation in 2020 of the acquisition of NEXT DOCS companies contributing € 3.2 million, the undertaking of a larger market share in the postal services adding € 1.7 million in Sales and the provision of digital transformation solutions that were increased by € 0.2 million, compared to 2019. These increases fully offset the revenue loss of € 1.8 million related to the impact in Sales of the COVID-19 pandemic and the one-off project of the production of security ballots for the presidential elections in Nigeria in 2019, worth of € 1.9 million. Gross margin improved by 2.6 points as a result of the better product mix especially services and amounted to 17.8% from 15.2% in 2019, while gross profit increased by € 1.2 million from € 6.4 million in 2019 to € 7.6 million in 2020. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (adjusted EBITDA) of 2020, amounted to € 4.8 million compared to € 3.7 million in 2019, significantly improved by € 1.1 million or +29%, as a result of higher sales with improved mix mainly driven by the turnover incorporation of NEXT DOCS companies.
Despite the current difficult situation and uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are moving forward steadily and working methodically to provide high technology solutions in the field of secure document and information management, constantly investing in specialized personnel to create new innovative services and address our client's needs.

The Group is exposed to risks as it strives for continuous and profitable growth, which it seeks to limit by closely monitoring the effects of this exposure. Therefore, risk management is a fundamental part of the process of designing and implementing our strategy. Risk policies, internal audit and risk management are defined by management and are evident in our monthly reports. The monthly results are closely analyzed. Appropriate risk management measures are identified and monitored at management meetings.
The Group uses financial instruments for commercial, financing and investment purposes. The use of financial instruments by the Group, substantially affects the financial position, profitability and cash flows.
The main risks arising from the financial instruments of the Group are, basically, the following:
Regarding this risk, arising from the general market conditions, the Group has reduced the exposure to this risk due to the geographical dispersion of an equal allocation of sales between Greece, Romania and other countries with significant exposure to the markets of Central and Eastern Europe. A significant part of these sales is addresed to the financial sector especially in Banks. However, the products we offer to our customers in both private and public sector are considered essential for their daily operation and growth. The markets in which we operate are characterized by a high degree of competition. We face the intense pricing pressure arising from the competitive market situation with continuous measures to increase efficiency and reduce costs, while at the same time we are constantly facing new growth opportunities, through the introduction of new innovative products & services.
Regarding the risks arising from the volatility of interest rates and exchange rates:
The main part of economic transactions of the Group companies (Greece, Romania and Albania) is denominated in the currency of the main economic environment, where each company operates in (operating currency). In Romania, part of the obligations of the company is denominated in RON and in Albania is denominated in ALL
An exposure to exchange rate fluctuations exists regarding the value of the Group's investments in Romania, only at the time of consolidation of financial statements and their translation from the functional currency RON into the presentation currency Euro.

All bank debt of the Group is connected with fluctuating interest rates, maintaining however the option to convert into fixed interest rates, depending on the market conditions. With the Group's funds benchmark at 31/12/2020, in a hypothetical increase or decrease of Euribor by +/- 1% the Group's results would be affected negatively or positively, respectively, by approximately € 236 thousand.
The company does not use financial derivatives. As in the previous year, other financial assets and other financial liabilities are not affected by interest rates.
The Group has established and applied credit control procedures to minimize bad debts. Sales are directed mainly to large public and private organizations with evaluated credit rating. In any case, the Group assesses credit risk on the basis of approved policies and procedures and recognizes a provision for impairment.
The Group applies the simplified approach for the customer receivables and the contract assets for the calculation of expected credit losses. Therefore, in every reference date, the Group measures the provision for a financial instrument for an amount equal to the expected credit losses over the lifetime. For determining the expected credit losses, a chronological analysis and percentages table is applied using historical data and reasonable assumptions.
The Group manages its liquidity needs through careful follow-up of debts, long-term financing obligations and payments. Liquidity needs are monitoring on a daily basis and planning of payments on a weekly and monthly basis.

Corporate Governance pertains to a total of principles, on which basis there is facilitated sufficient organization, operation, management and control of an entity, at a long term objective of maximizing its value and safeguarding the legitimate interests of all those connected with it.
In Greece, the corporate governance framework has been developed mainly through adoption of binding regulations, such as Law 3016/2002, as effective until the entry into force of the respective provisions of Law 4706/2020, which requires the participation of non-executive and independent non-executive members of the BoD of Greek listed companies, establishment and operation of internal control department and adoption of internal regulations procedures. In addition, a variety of other acts were incorporated in the Greek legal framework of European company law directives, thus creating new corporate governance rules, such as the Law 3884/2010 relating to rights of shareholders and additional corporate disclosure obligations to shareholders under preparation of the General Meeting, the Law 3873/2010, which incorporated into Greek legislation EU Directive 2006/46 / EC of the European Union on annual and consolidated accounts of certain types of entities and the Law 4449/2017, which introduced new provisions for the establishment, structure, staffing, responsibilities and duties of the Audit Committee. Finally, in Greece, as in most other countries, the Law on public limited companies (L. 4548/2018) contains their basic governance regulations.
Our company fully complies with the requirements and provisions of the aforementioned legislative texts which constitute the minimum content of any Corporate Governance Code and constitute (the aforementioned provisions) an informal code.
The Company has adopted the Greek Corporate Governance Code (GCCG) for listed companies issued in October 2013 by the Greek Council of Corporate Governance (hereinafter "The Code"). This Code is posted on SEV website, at the following electronic address: http://www.sev.org.gr. Therefore, any reference to the corporate Governance Code implies the above Code.
The Company has initiated the procedures in order to fully meet the requirements of the new institutional framework of Corporate Governance in accordance with the provisions of Law 4706/2020, at the time of their entry into force, ie on July 17, 2021.
The Company states that it faithfully and strictly implements the provisions of the Greek legislation (Law 4548/2018, Law 3016/2002, as effective until the entry into force of the respective provisions of Law 4706/2020 and Law 4449/2017) which form the minimum requirements to be met by any Corporate Governance Code applied by companies, whose shares are traded on a regulated market.
These minimum requirements are incorporated in this Corporate Governance Code (GCCG) to which the Company is subject; however, this Code contains a number of additional (beyond the minimum requirements) specific practices and principles. In connection with such additional practices and principles, there are effective, at present, some deviations (including the cases of non-implementation), which are briefly analyzed and explained. Reference to non-application of certain provisions is also made in the Corporate Governance Code (GCCG) concerning companies, not belonging to FTSE/ATHEX-20 and FTSE/ATHEX Mid-40.
On case basis, the company diverges from or does not apply as a total several provisions of the Code recorded in the current document in italics.
• Regarding the role and authority of the Board of Directors:
The Board of Directors has not proceeded to establishment of a separate committee occupied with the nominations for election to the Board and preparing proposals to the Board regarding the remuneration of executive directors and key executives since the company's policy in relation to such fees is fixed and formed. A.IΙ (1.2)
• Regarding the size and composition of the Board of Directors:
The Board of Directors does not consist of seven (7) to fifteen (15) members, but of five (5) to nine (9) members. The specific number of members covers the company needs as to proper and effective corporate governance and the size and organization of the Company do not justify a Board with such a number of members.

The spirit of the Operation Regulations promotes compliance with laws and internal company policies to avoid risks and other legal consequences for the Company and each member of the staff, including the members of the Management.
The main objectives of the Regulations are as follows:
Prevention of delinquent behaviour
Compliance with the policies to reduce the risks around the reputation and public image of the Group
On-going education of staff regarding the dangers posed by acts of corruption, fraud, misuse of personal data, deterioration of financial statements, leakage of confidential information, etc.

The Internal Audit and Risk Management System of the Company regarding the preparation of financial statements and financial reports includes the control procedures and mechanisms at various levels of the Organization as described below:
The size and complexity of the Group's operations requires a complex system for identifying and managing risks that apply to all subsidiaries of the Group.
Recognition and assessment of risks are primarily carried out under the stage of preparation of strategic planning and annual business plan. The examined issues vary depending on market conditions and industry and include political developments in the markets (where the Group operates or which are important sources of raw materials), changes in technology, macroeconomic indices and competitive environment.
The company development is monitored through a detailed budget per activity sector and specific market. Given the nature of the Group's operations, the development of the financial results depends largely on external factors clearly influenced by the overall economic slowdown and uncertainty surrounding the Greek and the global market. In this context, the Group has already taken the appropriate steps to respond to new circumstances and exploit new market conditions. For all these reasons, the budget is adjusted periodically, taking these changes into account. The management monitors the development of financial sizes of the Group through regular reports, comparisons to budget and meetings of the management team.
The Management has designed and performs on-going supervisory activities, which are incorporated into the operation of the Company and which ensure that the Internal Audit System maintains its effectiveness over time. The Company carries out regular individual assessments of the adequacy of Internal Audit System, carried out primarily by the Internal Audit Department.
The Company has an independent Internal Audit Department, which among other things ensures that the identification procedures and risk management systems implemented by management are sufficient to ensure effective functioning of the Internal Audit System and the quality and reliability of the information provided by the Management to the Board of Directors regarding the Internal Audit System. The preparation of the Plan (or Manual) of Audit Department is based on the risk assessment carried out for these purposes as well as the issues identified by the Management and the Audit Committee. The Plan (or Manual) shall be submitted for approval to the Audit Committee. The risk assessment process is conducted annually and takes into account the risk assessment carried out under the responsibility of the Board within the framework of risk management of the Company.
The sufficiency of the Internal Audit System is monitored on a regular basis by the Audit Committee through quarterly reports submitted to it by the Internal Audit Department.

Reports of the Management and Internal Audit Department provide an assessment of major risks and effectiveness of Internal Audit System to manage them. Any weaknesses identified are disclosed through reports, including the impact they had or may have as well as the Management actions to correct them.
To ensure the independence of the statutory audit of financial statements of the Company, the Audit Committee recommends to the General Meeting the statutory auditors or audit firms to be appointed in accordance with Article 16 of Regulation (EU) 537/2014. Roles and responsibilities of the BoD:
The role, the authority and the relative responsibilities of the BoD are described in the Internal Regulations of the Company approved by the BoD.
In the context of risk management, the areas, considered as those of high risk for financial fraud, are monitored under appropriate monitoring systems and accordingly increased control systems. Indicatively, there is mentioned the existence of detailed organizational structure, operating regulations and detailed procedures and approval limits. Also, in addition to the control mechanisms applicable by every department, all the company's operations are subject to audits by the Internal Audit Service, whose results are presented through the Audit Committee to the Board of Directors.
The Company, as mentioned above, has established the relevant Internal Operation Regulations, which are approved by the Board of Directors. Within the framework of the Regulations, there are also defined the authorities and the responsibilities of the key working positions, thereby promoting an adequate segregation of responsibilities within the Company.
The Company has developed an adequate framework to monitor and control information systems, defined by different control mechanisms, policies and procedures, sufficiently defined by the approved Internal Operation Regulations and the Internal Audit Manual.

Finally, the Company has fully complied with the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which has been in force since May 2018.
As part of procedures for preparation of financial statements of the Company, there are effective specific control systems, which are associated with the use of tools and methodologies based on commonly accepted international practices. The main areas in which the control systems, relating to the preparation of financial reports and financial statements of the Company, operate are as follows:

Our opinion on the Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements or our

knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, on the based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report the fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and for such internal control as Management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of separate and consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Audit Committee (article 44 L.4449/2017) is responsible for overseeing the Company's and Group's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the separate and consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs, as incorporated into the Greek Law, will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users, taken on the basis of these separate and consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, which have been incorporated in Greek Legislation, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated to those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters.

Taking into consideration that Management is responsible for the preparation of the Management Report of the Board of Directors and Corporate Governance Statement that is included therein, according to the provisions of paragraph 5 of article 2 of Law 4336/2015 (part B), we note the following:
Our audit opinion on the accompanying separate and consolidated financial statements is consistent with the complementary report to the Company's Audit Committee, in accordance with Article 11 of the European Union (EU) Regulation 537/2014.
We have not provided to the Company and its subsidiaries any prohibited non-audit services referred to in Article 5 of EU Regulation 537/2014. The permitted non-audit services that we have provided to the Company and its subsidiaries during the year ended December 31, 2020, are disclosed in Note 32 of the accompanying separate and consolidated financial statements.
We were appointed for the first time as Certified Auditors of the Company based on the decision of the Annual General Shareholders' Meeting dated at 20/06/2006. Our appointment has been renewed uninterruptedly for a total period of 15 years based on the annual decisions of the General Shareholders' Meetings.

Note: In the previous fiscal year 2019, the spin-off of the production, processing, development and trading sector of printed information systems was concluded, with transformation date 30/06/2019, therefore the figures of the previous fiscal year 1/1-31/12/2019 are not comparable to those of the fiscal year 1/1-31/12/2020. An extensive report on the subject is presented in the Information Memorandum of the Group published at 12/11/2019 as well as in note 1 of the financial statements of the previous fiscal year 1/1-31/12/2019 (www.informlykos.com).
The following explanatory notes (pages 40 to 82) constitute an integral part of these annual financial statements.

The Group INFORM is a fastgrowing Group of companies, forming the market in the business area of Information Management under the brand INFORM. Nowadays, the Group is activated internationally and is a leader in the field of secure documents and information management, in the markets of Central and Eastern Europe in the Public and Private Sector. It has three production units in Athens (Greece), Bucharest (Romania) and Tirana (Albania). The entities and activities of the Information Management sector refer to the parent company INFORM P. LYKOS HOLDINGS S.A. based in Greece.
The registered office of the parent company INFORM P. LYKOS HOLDINGS S.A. (the Company) is in Koropi Attica, 5th km. of Varis-Koropiou Avenue.
During the previous year 2019 and specifically on December 27th, the spin-off process of the production, processing, development and trading sector of printed information systems of "INFORM P. LYKOS S.A. PROCESSING & DEVELOPMENT OF PRINTED INFORMATION SYSTEMS" was completed, with its contribution to a new 100% subsidiary under the corporate name "INFORM LYKOS (HELLAS) SINGLE MEMBER S.A." in accordance with the provisions of Law 4601/2019, Law 4548/2018 and the article 54 of Law 4172/2013. After the completion of the above spinoff and the consequent modification of its name and purpose, the name of the parent company of the Group is hereinafter "INFORM P. LYKOS HOLDINGS S.A.". It is noted that this spin-off at a consolidated level did not have any substantial impact on the consolidated financial data of the Group as the new company INFORM LYKOS (HELLAS) SINGLE MEMBER S.A. is fully consolidated since INFORM P. LYKOS HOLDINGS S.A. owns its 100%. An extensive report on the subject and the financial figures is presented in the Information Memorandum of the Group published at 12/11/2019 (www.informlykos.com).
The financial statements for the year 1/1 - 31/12/2020 were approved by the Board of Directors on 31/03/2021.
The accompanying separate and consolidated financial statements (hereinafter "financial statements"), have been prepared by the Management based on historic cost principal, as modified following the adjustment of certain assets and liabilities at fair values and the going concern principle and are in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (hereinafter ≪IFRS≫) and the International Accounting Standards (hereinafter ≪IAS≫), as adopted by the European Union (according to the Regulation (EC) No. 1606/ 2002 of the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union at July 19th, 2002) and published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), and also their interpretations, as published by the International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee (I.F.R.I.C.) of the IASB. The period of application of each IAS/IFRS is set by the regulations published by the competent commission of the European Union.
Details of the Group's accounting policies and methods, including changes that took place during the year 2020, are included in notes 35 - 38.
Regarding the appropriateness of using the principle of going concern during the preparation of the financial statements with the data of the Greek and global economy as formed until today due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the following are noted:
In order to limit the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, countries around the world have implemented a series of restrictive measures, which have led the Greek and world economies into a period of recession, the economic consequences of which cannot be precisely determined in the present stage. The consequences will largely depend on the duration and intensity of the recession and the further recovery measures expected to be implemented by the European Union and local governments. Nevertheless, the Management of the Group, evaluating its financial position, the impact of the pandemic on its strategic orientation and objectives, the impact of COVID-19 in general on its operation and examining its key financial data, came to the unequivocal conclusion that the principle going concern is suitable for the preparation of the presented financial statements. Reference to the impact of the pandemic on the operation and the financial figures of the Group is made in par. 3, 6 and 7 of the Annual Report of the Board of Directors that accompanies the attached financial statements.
The separate and consolidated financial statements are presented in euro, which is the functional currency of the Company. All amounts have been rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise indicated.
In preparing these consolidated financial statements, management has made judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the Group's accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, as also and the notes to the financial statements. They also affect disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as at the financial statements preparation date as well as the publicized amounts of revenue and expenses.
Judgments, estimates and assumptions are based on the experience from previous years and other factors, included the expectations of future events that are considered reasonable under the particular conditions, while estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis, making the best use of all the available data. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment at amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses is included in the following notes:
Group monitors annually whether goodwill has suffered any impairment and assesses the events or the conditions may trigger impairment, such as a significant adverse change in the business environment or a decision to sell or dispose of a unit or functional area. The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units have been determined based on value-in-use calculations. The basic estimates in applying value in use, the Group relies on a number of factors, including actual operating results, future business plans, economic projections and discount rates that are used in the calculations. It should be noted that the Group, during the assessment of impairment indications and the formation of prices on which the impairment tests were based, took into account the present and any possible future financial conditions due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.
If analysis indicates a need for impairment of goodwill, measuring of impairment requires a fair value estimate of each identified tangible asset. In this case, using the cash flow approach, referred above, by independent appraisers when appropriate. See note 15.
The Group assesses the actual useful lives of the assets annually. At the end of the reporting period of the annual financial statements, the management of the Group estimates that the useful lives of the depreciable assets represent the expected utility of those assets. See notes 37 (I) and (J).
Doubtful accounts receivables are displayed with amounts that are likely to be recovered. Estimations for recoverable amounts of receivables are based on objective indications, the counterparty's financial condition as well as past experience. The Group applies the simplified approach for customer receivables and contract assets for the calculation of expected credit losses. Therefore, at each reporting date, the Group measures the provision for a financial instrument for an amount equal to the expected credit losses over the lifetime. For determining the expected credit losses, a chronological analysis and rates table is used with historical data and reasonable assumptions.
The present value of pension obligations depends on a number of factors determined using actuarial methods and assumptions. Such actuarial assumption is the discount rate used to calculate the cost of benefit. The Group determines the appropriate discount rate at each year end. This is the interest rate that should be used to determine the present value of future cash flows, which are expected to be required to meet the obligations of the pension plans. For determining the appropriate discount rate, the Group uses the interest rate of high quality corporate bonds that are converted to the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and whose expiry date is approaching that of the relevant pension liability. Other key assumptions of pension obligations are based in part on current market conditions. See notes 11 and 37 (E).
As part of the implementation of IFRS, the Group has an obligation or option to revalue assets and liabilities at fair value.
The fair value measurement is based on the market and not on a particular entity. For certain assets and liabilities may be available observable market transactions or market information. For other assets and liabilities may not be available observable market transactions or market information. However, the objective of measuring fair value is the same in both cases to estimate the price at which it would take place a normal transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions (ie an exit price at the measurement date from the perspective of a market participant that holds the asset or owes the liability).
Even when there is no observable market to provide pricing information on the sale of an asset or transfer a liability at the measurement date, the fair value measurement should consider that a transaction occurs on that date, considering the transaction from the perspective of a market participant that holds the asset or owes the liability. This alleged transaction constitutes the basis for valuation of the sale price of the asset or transfer the liability. Especially for liabilities if no observable market to provide pricing information on the transfer of a liability (eg when the contractual and other legal restrictions prevent the transfer of such data) may be observable market for such obligation if the other party holds as an asset (eg corporate bonds).
The assets and liabilities of the Group are measured at fair value are mainly non-financial assets.
To improve the consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, the Group is adopting relevant requirements of IFRS 13, which had determined the fair value hierarchy that categorizes into three levels the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to the official prices (unadjusted) in markets with significant volume of transactions for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 inputs) and minimum priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs).
The Level 1 inputs are the official quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities to which the entity has access at the measurement date.
The Level 2 inputs are inputs other than formal quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, a second input level must be observable for the full life of the asset or liability.
The Level 3 inputs are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) for the asset or liability.
Further information about the assumptions made in measuring fair values is included in the following notes:

It is noted that the Group has certain financial assets (eg cash and cash equivalents) the historical values for which, due to their short-term nature, do not differ essentially from the fair value that would be determined by using valuation techniques.

The Group maintains one strategic segment, the "Information Management" (printing segment), which is its reportable segment. Every unit of the segment offers same products and services, and requires unique technology and marketing strategies.
The activity of the printing segment mainly extents geographically in two countries Greece and Romania. This geographic allocation is the designated factor for the segmentation of printing segment.
These operating segments are monitored by the Head of Risk and Strategic decisions of the Group (Group CEO).
Information related to each reportable segment is set out below. Segment "profit before tax" is used to measure performance because management believes that this information is the most relevant in evaluating the results of the respective segments.

The balance of account employee benefits is formed from the Group's defined benefit plan that applies to employees in Greece. Obligations resulting from this program concern compensation of staff retirement arising from the provisions of Law 2112/20, as amended by Law 4093/12. According to the Greek legislation, establishing and funding is not provided in the form of contributions, specific fund (reserve) to cover the severance compensation laws 2112/20 and 3026/54, as amended by Law 4093/12, and for other related benefits. As a result, a special fund is not created, from which the settlement of the liability could be made. The compensation provided by the laws 2112/20 and 3026/54, as amended by Law 4093/12 are exclusively one-off indemnities which are given only in cases of normal retirement, redundancy and for those subject to Law 3026/54, in death and voluntary retirement under conditions.
The above program exposes the Group to actuarial risks, including the risk of longevity assumptions and discount rate assumptions.
The following table presents the reconciliation of the opening and closing of the reporting periods of the liabilities arising from the program:

The fair value of land and buildings is determined by external independent valuers, who have recognized professional qualifications and recent experience in the location and category of property assessed. The independent appraisers provide or estimate the fair value of the Group's property. The frequency of revaluations depends upon the changes in the estimated fair value of properties in relation to the accounting. When the change is material is carried further adjustment.
Based on data taken into account in the valuation technique, the measurement of fair value for these properties is at Level 2 (see note 4(v)).
For the remaining fixed assets valued at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, there was no indication of impairment.
The latest revaluation study by an independent valuer for the estimation of the fair value of these tangible assets was carried out with a reference date of 31 December 2020. The study was based on market indications on similar properties, incorporating adjustments for factors specific to the property for revaluation, such as size of land and buildings, use, location and any encumbrances. The valuation basis for calculation depends on observable transactions for similar properties. The main input factors for the valuation are the fair value of land per square meter which was appraised at € 179 on average and the replacement cost per square meter which was appraised at € 309 on average.
Based on the above, a total revaluation of land and buildings amounting to € 734.98 resulted.
For the valuation of the Group's properties in Romania the valuation technique used was the same as the one used and described for the properties in Greece. The latest revaluation study was carried out with a reference date of 31 December 2020. The main input factors for the valuation are the fair value of land per square meter which was appraised at € 145 on average and the replacement cost per square meter which was appraised at € 400 on average.
The Group considers that the values presented above have not changed substantially up to the date of publication of the presented financial statements.
Based on the above, a total revaluation of land and buildings amounting to € (72.997) resulted.
The Group leases machinery in Greece and Romania with a value of € 3.201.305 (2019: € 3.827.005). The value of the leased equipment is a guarantee of the relevant leasing liabilities.
The Group leases assets with the right of use (mainly means of transport) in Greece and Romania. Their value amounts to € 556.907 at 31/12/2020 and is a guarantee of the relevant leasing liabilities.
There are encumbrances on the Group's fixed assets (land and building located in Romania) for an amount of € 13,2 millions in order to cover loan liabilities at the amount of € 2,6 millions. There are no encumbrances on the Parent company's fixed assets.

Intangible assets of the Group (excluding goodwill) have a limited useful life which is reviewed at least annually. This examination showed no significant change in the expected pattern of future economic benefits embodied in those assets.
Amortisation of software licenses charged to all functions (production, administration, distribution and research and development), while amortisation of capitalized development costs incurred in research and development function.
In FY 2020, there was no need to test impairment of intangible assets (software licenses, capitalized development costs and customer relationships), whose useful life is determined.
Following the relevant accounting policy, impairment tests in cash-generating units (CGU) that integrate acquisition goodwill and acquired in previous years were performed. These impairment tests did not indicate any need for impairment of these CGUs. Specifically, impairment tests were carried out for the production unit of printed information products in Inform Lykos S.A. Romania, for Next Docs and for Inform Albania Sh.p.k. and to which the following goodwill has been allocated:
| Total Goodwill | 3.189.744 |
|---|---|
| Effect of movements in exchange rates | (6.519) |
| Unit of document management services of Next Docs | 873.457 |
| Production unit of printed information products in Albania (Inform Albania Sh.p.k) |
89.339 |
| Production unit of printed information products in Romania (Inform Lykos S.A.- Romania) |
2.233.468 |

The goodwill allocated to this unit amounts to € 2.233.468 (2019: € 1.997.105). During the previous fiscal year 2019, the acquired business activity of the Romanian company STAR STORAGE was incorporated in this unit. It should be noted that the business activity of STAR STORAGE, after its acquisition by Inform Lykos S.A. - Romania and the integration of its staff and activities in the Group, no longer generates cash flows that are significantly independent of those generated by Inform Lykos S.A. Romania as an integrated production unit. Therefore, the impairment test associated with the acquisition of STAR STORAGE is performed at the upper level of the Inform Lykos S.A. - Romania, which level represents the lowest within the Inform Lykos S.A. – Romania Group in which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes and is not larger than one operating unit.
The recoverable amount of the unit was determined based on the calculations of the use value of the unit, as it results from an estimate of the future cash inflows and outflows arising from the continued use of the CGU and its final disposal. The estimated value also reflects the time value of money, represented by the current interest rate (free of market risk) and the cost of dealing with the uncertainty inherent in the CGU.
The key assumptions used to estimate the recoverable amount are presented in the following table. The values attributed to key assumptions represent management's estimate of future trends in similar enterprises and are based on historical data from external and internal sources.
| 2020 | 2019 | |
|---|---|---|
| Discount rate | 8,2% | 10,6% |
| Residual value growth rate | 1,5% | 1,5% |
| EBITDA growth rate forecast (5-year average) | 0,2% | 2% |
The discount rate is an estimate free of tax effects and based on the historical weighted average cost of capital of the unit to which the unit belongs.
Cash flow forecasts contain specific estimates for five years and an estimated growth rate in perpetuity for the following years. This growth rate in perpetuity was determined on the basis of management's estimate of the long-term compound annual growth rate of EBITDA which is reasonable based on market conditions.
Management's core assumptions include consistent profit margins based on past experience. The management of the Group considers that it is the best available information for the market forecast. Cash flow projections reflect profit margins based on historical period data. Prices and wages reflect the available inflation forecasts for the location of the unit.
Management has determined that a reasonably probable change in two key assumptions could result in such a change in the estimated recoverable amount of the two units that it becomes less than its carrying amount. These changes are as follows:
| Sensitivity analysis | Change required to equal the recoverable amount to the carrying amount of the unit |
||
|---|---|---|---|
| (percentage) | 2020 | 2019 | |
| Discount rate | 4 | 4 | |
| EBITDA growth rate forecast | (6,8) | (5,6) |
The goodwill allocated to this unit amounts to a total of € 873.457 (2020: € 873.457). This goodwill arose in the previous fiscal year 2019 during the acquisition through the Romanian subsidiary of the company S.C. INFORM LYKOS S.A., owned and controlled by two new subsidiaries NEXT DOCS ECM EXPERT S.R.L. and NEXT DOCS CONFIDENTIAL S.R.L. with an initial participation rate of 65,07% and 65,45% respectively (see note 27 on this).
The recoverable amount of the unit was determined based on the calculations of the use value of the unit, as it results from an estimate of the future cash inflows and outflows arising from the continued use of the CGU and its final disposal. The estimated value also reflects the time value of money, represented by the current interest rate (free of market risk) and the cost of dealing with the uncertainty inherent in the CGU.
The key assumptions used to estimate the recoverable amount are presented in the following table. The values attributed to key assumptions represent management's estimate of future trends in similar enterprises and are based on historical data from external and internal sources.

The discount rate is an estimate free of tax effects and based on the historical weighted average cost of capital of the unit to which the unit belongs.
Cash flow forecasts contain specific estimates for five years and an estimated growth rate in perpetuity for the following years. This growth rate in perpetuity was determined on the basis of management's estimate of the long-term compound annual growth rate of EBITDA which is reasonable based on market conditions.
Management's core assumptions include consistent profit margins based on past experience. The management of the Group considers that it is the best available information for the market forecast. Cash flow projections reflect profit margins based on historical period data. Prices and wages reflect the available inflation forecasts for the location of the unit.
Management has determined that a reasonably probable change in two key assumptions could result in such a change in the estimated recoverable amount of the two units that it becomes less than its carrying amount. These changes are as follows:

Other reserves of the Company constitute reserves which formed from its realized profits according to the regulations of trade and tax legislation and analyzed as following:
The statutory reserve is formed under the provisions of Greek Law (4548/2018) in which an amount at least equal to 5% of the profit (after tax) must be transferred to the reserve until it reaches one third of the paid share capital. The statutory reserve is used exclusively to cover losses before each dividend distribution.
The above reserve was formed due to the spin-off of company's sector and can be used exclusively in accordance with the tax provisions of the Law 4172/2013 and the provisions of commercial Law 4548/2018. An extensive report on the subject is presented in the Information Memorandum of the Group published at 12/11/2019 (www.informlykos.com).
According to the relevant proposal of the Board of Directors of the Company, the Ordinary General Meeting of the fiscal year 2020 that took place on 09/07/2020 decided to distribute dividend € 0,04 (after tax € 0,038) per share for the fiscal year 2019 for a total of € 823.134,96 before withholding tax. This amount was paid in full in July of the fiscal year 2020.
The Board of Directors of the Company on August 12, 2020 decided to distribute interim dividend for the FY 2020 based on the interim financial statements of the period 01/01/2020 - 30/06/2020. The interim dividend amounted to € 1.028.918,70 before withholding tax, corresponding to an amount of € 0,05 (after taxes € 0,0475) per share. This amount was paid in full in November of the fiscal year 2020.
The Board of Directors of the Company intends to propose to the 39th Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders, the distribution of dividend.

The Group's policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain a high level of confidence of shareholders, creditors and the market, as well as to sustain future development of the business. Management monitors the return on capital and aims at a medium-term performance of dividends to shareholders.
The Board of Directors tries to maintain a balance between the higher returns that might be possible with higher levels of borrowings and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital base.
Consistent with others practices in the industry, the Group monitors capital using a leverage ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as "Total debt" (including "current and non-current borrowings" as shown in the Statement of Financial Position) minus" Cash and cash equivalents". Total capital employed is calculated as 'equity' as shown in the statement of financial position plus net debt.
The leverage ratios of 31/12/2020 and 31/12/2019 were as follows:

The Group has exposure to various risks arising from financial instruments. Financial assets and financial liabilities of the Group by category are summarized in note 26 (A). The main types of these risks are the following:
Risk management is coordinated at group level, in close cooperation with the Board of Directors and is focused primarily on actively ensuring short and medium-term cash inflows by minimizing exposure to volatile financial markets.
The Group does not actively participate in the purchase or sale of financial instruments for profit. The major risks to which the Group is exposed are described below.

The Group's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, management also considers the factors that may influence the credit risk of its customer base, including the default risk of the industry and country in which customers operate. Further details of revenue collection are included in note 7.
In managing credit risk, the Board of Directors formulates the procedures and policies necessary for the effective prevention and management of credit risk.
The Board of Directors, in collaboration mainly with General, Finance and Commercial Division:
To reduce credit risk, are taken into account the creditworthiness of the counterparty, the risk of the country and the economy of the area in which it operates, as well as qualitative and quantitative characteristics.
It is noted, that sales related to the vast majority and wholesale sales to customers with credit history and with great dispersion in their balances. The Group's policy is to work only with reputable clients.
Finally, the Group applies the simplified approach for customer receivables and contract assets for the calculation of expected credit losses. Therefore, in every reference date, the Group measures the provision for a financial instrument for an amount equal to the expected credit losses over the lifetime. For determining the expected credit losses, a chronological analysis and percentages table is applied using historical data and reasonable assumptions.
At 31 December 2020, the maximum exposure to credit risk for trade and other receivables by geographic region was as follows:
| Trade receivables per country | Gross amount 2020 |
Expected credit loss allowance (ECL) |
Credit impaired |
Total allowance |
Net amount 2020 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Romania | 8.451.080 | (9.527) | (239.024) | (248.551) | 8.202.528 |
| Greece | 3.442.512 | (375.634) | (559.773) | (935.406) | 2.507.106 |

| Bulgaria | 44.699 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 44.699 |
| Cyprus | 12.808 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 12.808 |
| Other Countries | 3.778 | (18) | 0 | 3.760 | (364) |
| Total | 12.851.612 | (385.178) | (809.535) | (1.194.714) | 11.656.898 |
At 31 December 2020, the ageing of trade and other receivables that were not impaired was as follows:
| 31/12/2020 | |
|---|---|
| Current - not past due | 7.729.475 |
| Past due 1 - 30 days | 1.418.231 |
| Past due 31-90 days | 986.512 |
| Past due 91-120 days | 194.925 |
| Past due more than 121 days | 1.327.755 |
| 11.656.898 |
The movement of the provisions of financial assets is as follows:

| Balance at 31 December 2018 | (1.096.308) |
|---|---|
| Provision for expected credit losses | (40.903) |
| Provision for uncollected receivables | (100.498) |
| Utilization of provision | 116.221 |
| Balance at 31 December 2019 | (1.121.488) |
| Provision for expected credit losses | (51.311) |
| Provision for uncollected receivables | (41.205) |
| Utilization of provision | 19.290 |
| Balance at 31 December 2020 | (1.194.713) |
Based on the simplified approach in the context of estimating expected credit losses, the Group uses a relevant "provision matrix", in which all uncollected trade receivables of the Group are classified in:
Seven (7) basic categories concerning areas of activity with common characteristics in terms of credit risk (e.g. degree of credit risk, existence of collateral, etc.) and
Six (6) subcategories depending on the age of each receivable (1-30, 31-60,61-90,91-180, 180-360, 360+).
Then for each subcategory using the relevant percentages, the expected credit losses are calculated. These percentages are adjusted in each reporting period based on updated historical data of 5 years.
With the above mentioned methodology, the expected credit losses were calculated for each category and each reporting period as follows:
| Client category | 31/12/2020 | 31/12/2019 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (thousand of €) | ||||
| Telecommunication sector | 0 | 0 | ||
| Financial sector | 17 | 11 | ||
| Public sector | 112 | 112 | ||
| Utilities sector | 19 | 18 | ||
| Private sector | 158 | 144 | ||
| Exports sector | 26 | 20 | ||
| Intercompany sector | 53 | 39 | ||
| Total | 385 | 344 |
In addition to the above expected credit losses, some receivables have been impaired as they have become uncollectible. The total amount as at 31/12/2020 amounted to € 810 thousand (2019: 777 thousand).
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash and short-term, easy liquidated investments that are convertible into cash and are so near maturity, that present insignificant risk of changes to the valuation at the time of liquidation.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group faces difficulty in paying its liabilities. The Group manages its liquidity needs by monitoring the contractual payments on the debt for the long-term financial liabilities, and the cash flow forecasts and outputs needed for daily operations. Liquidity needs are monitored in various time bands, on a daily and weekly basis and on the basis of a rolling projection of 30 days. Long-term liquidity needs are determined monthly for a period of 180 and 360 days. Net cash requirements are compared to available borrowing limits, to determine the maximum amount or any deficiencies. This analysis shows that available borrowing limits are expected to be adequate.
The Group aims to maintain cash and deposits to meet its liquidity needs for periods of 30 days at least. The objective is met for the reporting periods. Funding for long-term liquidity needs is ensured in addition by an adequate amount of committed credit facilities. Emphasis is given on proper management of inventories, receivables and liabilities in order to provide the maximum of liquidity to the Group.
At 31 December 2020, the Group's financial liabilities (not derivatives) have contractual maturities (including interest payments where applicable) as summarized below:

In relation to the market risk arising from the general market conditions, the Group has reduced exposure to this risk due to the geographical dispersion of an equal allocation of sales between Greece, Romania and Other Countries with major exposure in Central and Eastern Europe. An important part of these sales is addressed to the financial sector, especially in Banks. The ongoing economic downturn makes the markets in which the Group operates more vulnerable. However, the products produced for the private and government organizations are essential both for their daily operations and for their development. In addition the Group has achieved significant reductions in operating costs. As a result Group is highly competitive and can provide the high level of products and services in competitive prices.
The Group is not using derivatives to manage market risks.
In relation to the risks arising from volatility in interest and exchange rates:
The Group is exposed to currency risk to the extent that there is a mismatch between the currencies in which sales, purchases and borrowings are denominated and the respective functional currencies of Group companies. The functional currency of Group companies is primarily the Euro (EUR). The currencies in which these transactions are primarily denominated as shown in the following table are mainly RON.
The summary quantitative data about the Group's exposure to currency risk as reported to the management of the Group is as follows:

Exposure to currency fluctuations is mainly in the exchange differences arising on the incorporation in the consolidated financial statements of the financial statements of the Group's subsidiaries in Romania and their conversion from functional currency RON to presentation currency EUR.
A reasonable change of the Romanian RON against the Euro would result about the following changes:
| RON (10% increase) | 2020 |
|---|---|
| Earnings before taxes | (166.806) |
| Equity | (2.036.012) |
| RON (10% decrease) | 2020 |
| Earnings before taxes | 203.874 |
Interest rate risk is the risk of the results from the fluctuation of interest rates.
The interest rate profile of the Group's interest-bearing financial instruments as reported to the management of the Group is as follows:

| 2020 | |
|---|---|
| Variable - rate instruments | |
| Cash and cash equivalent | 5.039.745 |
| Loans | 23.639.352 |
| 28.679.097 |
A reasonable change in interest rates in the range of +/- 100bp would result the following changes in the income before taxes and equity of the Group:
| Profit or loss | 2020 |
|---|---|
| 100bp increase | 236.394 |
| 100bp decrease | (236.394) |
| Equity, net of tax | |

The amendments do not affect the consolidated Financial Statements.
Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2020)
In March 2018, the IASB issued Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework, following its revision. Some Standards include explicit references to previous versions of the Conceptual Framework. The objective of these amendments is to update those references so that they refer to the revised Conceptual Framework and to support transition to the revised Conceptual Framework. The amendments do not affect the consolidated Financial Statements.
In October 2018, the IASB issued amendments to its definition of material to make it easier for companies to make materiality judgements. The definition of material helps companies decide whether information should be included in their financial statements. The updated definition amends IAS 1 and IAS 8. The amendments clarify the definition of material and how it should be applied by including in the definition guidance that until now has featured elsewhere in IFRS Standards. The amendments do not affect the consolidated Financial Statements.
In September 2019, the IASB issued amendments to some specific hedge accounting requirements to provide relief from potential effects of the uncertainty caused by the Interest Rate Benchmark reform. The amendments are designed to support the provision of useful financial information by companies during the period of uncertainty arising from the phasing out of interest – rate benchmarks such as interbank offered rates (IBORs). It requires companies to provide additional information to investors about their hedging relationships which are directly affected by these uncertainties. The amendments do not affect the consolidated Financial Statements.
In October 2018, the IASB issued narrow-scope amendments to IFRS 3 to improve the definition of a business. The amendments will help companies determine whether an acquisition made is of a business or a group of assets. The amended definition emphasizes that the output of a business is to provide goods and services to customers, whereas the previous definition focused on returns in the form of dividends, lower costs or other economic benefits to investors and others. In addition to amending the wording of the definition, the Board has provided supplementary guidance. The amendments do not affect the consolidated Financial Statements.
In May 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 16 that provide lessees with an exemption from assessing whether a Covid-19-related rent concession is a lease modification. More specifically, the amendments clarify that if certain conditions are met, lessees are not required to assess whether particular Covid-19-related rent concessions are lease modifications. Instead, lessees that apply the practical expedient, would account for those rent concessions as if they were not lease modifications. It applies to Covid-19-related rent concessions that reduce lease payments due on or before June 30, 2021. The amendments do not affect the consolidated Financial Statements.
Except for the changes explained in note 36, the Group has consistently applied the following accounting policies to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.

The Group accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method when control is transferred to the Group (see (A) (ii)). At the date of acquisition the Group recognizes separately from goodwill, the recognized assets acquired, the liabilities incurred and any non-controlling participations to the merged subsidiary. The recognized assets and the liabilities incurred should satisfy the definitions of assets and liabilities in the framework of preparation and presentation of Financial Statements at the date of acquisition, in order to fulfil the criteria of recognition by the purchase method. The Group measures the acquired recognized assets and the liabilities incurred at fair values at the date of acquisition. The amount paid in return for the acquisition is measured at fair value, which is estimated as the sum of fair value at the date of acquisition of the assets by the Group, the liabilities incurred if any to the previous owners and non-controlling interests of the Group.
A cash element, receivable by or payable to a foreign activity, whose settlement has not been programmed or expected to be in the near future, consists, practically, a part of the net investment of the Group in this activity. Long-term receivables or loans and borrowings are included in such cash elements. These elements do not include trade receivables or payable accounts.
The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlement of pre-existing relationships. Such amounts are generally recognized in profit or loss.
Any contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the date of acquisition. If an obligation to pay contingent consideration that meets the definition of a financial instrument is classified as net equity, then it is not remeasured and settlement is accounted for within net equity. Otherwise, subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognized in profit or loss.
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.
The financial statements of the parent company and its subsidiaries, used for the preparation of consolidated financial statements, are prepared at the same reference date.
Consolidated financial statements are prepared based on uniform accounting policies for similar transactions and other events, under similar conditions. Accounting principles of subsidiaries are modified, if required, in order to be uniform to those adopted by the Group.
In its separate financial statements, the Company accounts for investments in subsidiaries at acquisition cost less potential impairment.
NCI are measured at their proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable fair value of net assets at the date of acquisition.
Changes in the Group's rights in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions.
When the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognizes the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, and any related NCI and other components of equity. A potential gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss.
The Group does not include participations in associates or joint ventures, therefore it does not include equity participations in other companies.
Intra-group balances and transactions and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated.
The elements of financial statements of the Group companies are measured using the currency of the economic environment in which every entity operates (the functional currency). The financial statements are presented in Euro € which is the functional and presentation currency of the parent. The functional currency of subsidiaries is also the Euro €, except for the subsidiary in Romania, where the functional currency is the Romanian RON and the subsidiary in Albania, where the functional currency is the ALL.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate at the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate when the fair value was determined. Foreign currency differences are generally recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are not translated.
However, foreign currency differences arising from the translation of the following items are recognised in OCI:

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated into euro at the exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated into euro at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
Foreign currency differences are recognised in OCI and accumulated in the translation reserve, except to the extent that the translation difference is allocated to NCI.
When a foreign operation is disposed of in its entirety or partially such that control, significant influence or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. If the Group disposes of part of its interest in a subsidiary but retains control, then the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to NCI.
The Group does not use risk hedging for foreign currency differences arising between the functional currency of the foreign operation and the Company's functional currency.
A discontinued operation is a component of the Group's business, the operations and cash flows of which can be clearly distinguished from the rest of the Group and which:
Classification as a discontinued operation occurs at the earlier of disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held-forsale.
When an operation is classified as a discontinued operation, the comparative statement of profit or loss and OCI are re-presented as if the operation had been discontinued from the start of the comparative year.
Revenue: Revenues comprise the fair value of sale of goods and render of services, net of value added tax, rebates and discounts. Revenues within the Group are eliminated fully.
The Group recognizes revenue when (or as) satisfies the obligation to execute a contract by transferring a promised good or services to a client. A promised good or services are transferred when (or as) the customer acquires control of that item. The customer acquires control of the good or service when it can direct its use and take substantially all the remaining benefits from the good or service. Control is passed over a period or at a specific time.
The recognition of revenues is as follows:
Sales of goods: Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when the control of the good is transferred to the customer and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the acceptance of the good by the customer.
Revenue from services: Revenue from services is accounted for in the period in which the services are rendered, based on the stage of completion of the service rendered in relation to all the services provided.
The customer requirement is recognized when there is an unconditional right for the entity to receive the consideration for the contractual obligations performed to the customer.
A contract asset is recognized when the Group executes its contractual obligations by transferring goods or services to a customer before the client pays the consideration or before the payment is due.
The contract liability is recognized when the Group receives a consideration from the customer or when it reserves the right to a price that is unconditional (deferred income) before the performance of the contract's obligations and the transfer of the goods or services. The Group ceases to recognize the contractual obligation (and recognizes revenue) when it transfers the goods or services in question and thus fulfills the obligation to execute.
Interest income: Interest income is recognized on a time proportion basis using the effective interest rate.
Dividends: Dividends are recognized as income when is established the right to receive them.
Short-term employee benefits include:
Short-term employee benefits (except for termination of employment benefits) monetary and in kind are recognized as an expense when they accrue. Any unpaid amount is recorded as a liability, while in the case where the amount paid exceeds the amount of services rendered, the

company recognizes the excess amount as an asset (prepaid expense) only to the extent that the prepaid expense will lead to a reduction of future payments or to reimbursement.
Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed as the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in potential, future payments is available.
The Group's net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior periods, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value of any plan assets.
The calculation of defined benefit obligations is performed annually by an independent qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a potential asset for the Group, the recognised asset is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. To calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any applicable minimum funding requirements.
Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognised immediately in OCI. The Group determines the net interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit liability (asset) for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period to the then-net defined benefit liability (asset), taking into account any changes in the net defined benefit liability (asset) during the period as a result of contributions and benefit payments. Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognised in profit or loss.
When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognised immediately in profit or loss. The Group recognises gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.
The Group's net obligation in respect of long-term employee benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods. That future benefit is discounted to determine its present value. Remeasurements are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
Termination benefits are expensed at the earlier of when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits and when the Group recognises costs for a restructuring. If benefits are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date, then they are discounted.
Government Grant is a financial aid provided by the State in a form of a fund transfer to a company, in return to its direct compliance by certain conditions regarding its operations. Government grants which cannot be evaluated because of their form, are not included to the above concept and the same applies to the transactions with the State which cannot be separated from the usual transactions of the company.
Grants regarding assets are government grants with a basic condition that in order for a company to be entitled for it, must buy, construct or acquire by any other way, usefully long lived assets.
Grants regarding income are government grants not related to the acquisition of assets.
The Group recognizes government grants which satisfy cumulative the following criteria: a) there is a concluded certainty that the company complies or is about to comply with the conditions of the grant and b) the amount of the grant has been received or is thought possible to be received. Grants are recorded at fair value and recognized systematically as income, based on the principle of relating grants to the respective costs that they finance.
Grants regarding assets are included in the long-term liabilities as income of following years and systematically recognized as income during the useful life of the fixed asset.
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. It is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognized directly in equity or in OCI.
Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if certain criteria are met.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for:
Temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss.

Temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures to the extent that the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not be reversed in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves.
Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that will arise from the manner in which the Group expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. For this purpose, the carrying amount of investment property measured at fair value is presumed to be recovered through sale, and the Group has not rebutted this presumption.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only if certain criteria are met.
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories is based on the weighted average method. In the case of manufactured inventories and work in progress, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity of the unit. Cost of inventories does not include any financial expenses.
Property, plant & equipment used for production, disposal of goods or services, or for cover of needs of administrative services of Company, are presented in the balance sheet at their readjusted values, less their accumulated depreciation and potential impairment. The management decides on readjustments of value of these assets at intervals, so that the balances in the statement of Financial Position do not essentially differ from fair values as at reporting date.
When the carrying amount of property, plant & equipment is increased by a re-adjustment, this increase will be recorded in the statement of comprehensive income and then accumulated to equity as a readjustment surplus. In case the accounting value of buildings or land is reduced in the future following a readjustment, this reduction will be recorded in the statement of comprehensive income up to the amount of the existing credit balance of readjustment surplus. Any excess of impairment loss over this surplus will be recorded in the income statement.
The remaining categories of tangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in profit or loss.
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will inflow to the Group.
Depreciation is calculated to write off the acquisition cost of items of property, plant and equipment less their estimated residual values using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, and is generally recognised in profit or loss. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Land is not depreciated.
The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment for current and comparative years are as follows:
| Years | |
|---|---|
| Buildings | 20-50 |
| Plant and machinery | 3-20 |
| Means of transport | 10 |
| Other equipment | 3-20 |
The residual values and useful economic lives of tangible fixed assets are subject to reassessment at every date of balance sheet. When an asset's carrying amount is higher than its estimated recoverable amount, the difference (devaluation) is carried directly to the income statement as an expense.

For a transfer from investment property carried at fair value to owner-occupied property or inventories, the property's deemed cost for subsequent accounting shall be its fair value at the date of change in use.
| Element | Measurement |
|---|---|
| Goodwill | Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. |
| Research and development expenses |
Expenditure on research activities is recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Development expenditure is capitalised only if the expenditure can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable and the Group intends to and has sufficient resources to complete development and to use or sell the asset. Otherwise, it is recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, development expenditure is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. |
| Customer relationships | Customer relationships are part of assets acquired through Group's business combinations. Fair value was recognized by the income approach (in the particular multi-period excess earnings method). After the initial recognition, the Group measures the above assets at cost minus any accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. |
| Other intangible assets | Other intangible assets, which are mainly software licenses when acquired by the Group and have a limited useful life are measured at acquisition cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. |
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
Amortisation is calculated to write off the cost of intangible assets less their estimated residual values using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, and is generally recognised in profit or loss. Goodwill is not amortised but tested (at least) annually for impairment according to IAS 36.
The estimated useful lives for current and comparative years are as follows:
| Years | |
|---|---|
| Development costs | 2-5 |
| Software licenses | 5-10 |
| Customer Relations | 10-15 |
Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
Investment property is initially measured at cost and subsequently at fair value with any change therein recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on disposal of investment property (calculated as the difference between the net proceeds from disposal and the carrying amount of the item) is recognised in profit or loss. For a transfer from investment property carried at fair value to owner-occupied property or inventories, the property's deemed cost for subsequent accounting shall be its fair value at the date of change in use.
Non-current assets, or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities, are classified as held-for-sale if it is highly probable that they will be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use.
Such assets, or disposal groups, are generally measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Any impairment loss on a disposal group is allocated first to goodwill, and then to the remaining assets and liabilities on a pro rata basis, except that no loss is allocated to inventories, financial assets, deferred tax assets, employee benefit assets, investment property or biological assets, which continue to be measured in accordance with the Group's other accounting policies.
Once classified as held-for-sale, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are no longer amortised or depreciated, and any equityaccounted investee is no longer equity accounted.
A financial asset is recognized in the Group's statement of financial position when it occurs or when the Group becomes a party of the contractual provisions of the instrument.

The Group initially evaluates financial assets or financial liability at fair value plus transaction costs, in the case of a financial asset or financial liability not at fair value through profit or loss. Trade receivables are valued at the transaction price.
Financial assets are classified at initial recognition and subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss or at fair value through other comprehensive income.
The classification is based on two criteria: (a) the Group's business model for managing the asset and the business model for managing the financial asset, ie whether the objective is to hold for the purpose of collecting contractual cash flows or to collect contractual cash flows and the sale of financial assets; and (b) assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest ("SPPI" criterion).
Financial assets measured at amortized cost include the financial instruments that are retained under the business model for the purpose of holding and collecting contractual cash flows that meet the "SPPI" criterion. All financial assets of the Group are included in this category.
The Group does not hold financial assets that are measured at fair value through profit or loss or other comprehensive income at the reporting date.
Financial assets at amortized cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest method and are tested for impairment. Profits and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized, modified or impaired.
The Group applies the simplified approach for trade receivables and contingent assets for the calculation of expected credit losses. Therefore, at each reporting date, the Group measures the provision for a financial instrument for an amount equal to the expected credit losses over the lifetime. For determining the expected credit losses, a chronological analysis and rates table is used using historical data and reasonable assumptions.
The Group derecognizes a financial asset when:
Financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value less any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Incremental external costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
Financial assets are assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment.
Objective evidence that financial assets are impaired includes:
At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets (other than biological assets, investment property, inventories and deferred tax assets) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset's recoverable amount is estimated. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment.
For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or Cash Generating Units (CGUs). Goodwill arising from a business combination is allocated to CGUs or groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount.
Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. They are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU on a pro rata basis.
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. For other assets, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.
Provisions are calculated by discounting expected future cash flows with a pre-tax rate that reflects current market estimates for the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. Reversal of discount is recognized as finance cost.
| Categories | Accounting Principle |
|---|---|
| Warranties | A provision for warranties is recognised when the underlying products or services are sold, based on historical warranty data and a weighting of possible outcomes against their associated probabilities. |
| Restructuring | A provision for restructuring is recognised when the Group has approved a detailed and formal restructuring plan, and the restructuring either has commenced or has been announced publicly. Future operating losses are not provided for. |
| Onerous contracts | A provision for onerous contracts is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established, the Group recognises any impairment loss on the assets associated with that contract. |
At inception of an arrangement, the Group determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease.
At inception or on reassessment of an arrangement that contains a lease, the Group separates payments and other consideration required by the arrangement into those for the lease and those for other elements on the basis of their relative fair values. If the Group concludes for a finance lease that it is impracticable to separate the payments reliably, then an asset and a liability are recognised at an amount equal to the fair value of the underlying asset; subsequently, the liability is reduced as payments are made and an imputed finance cost on the liability is recognised using the Group's incremental borrowing rate.
Assets held by the Group under leases that transfer to the Group substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. The leased assets are measured initially at an amount equal to the lower of their fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the assets are accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset.
Assets held under other leases are classified as operating leases and are not recognized in the statement of financial position of the Group.
Payments made under operating leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised as an integral part of the total lease expense, over the term of the lease.
Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between the finance expense and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance expense is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

The following new Standards, Interpretations and amendments of IFRSs have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), but their application has not started yet or they have not been adopted by the European Union.
Amendments to IFRS 4 "Insurance Contracts" – deferral of IFRS 9 (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2021)
In June 2020, the IASB issued amendments that declare deferral of the date of initial application of IFRS 17 by two years, to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. As a consequence, the IASB also extended the fixed expiry date for the temporary exemption from applying IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" in IFRS 4 "Insurance Contracts", so that the entities are required to apply IFRS 9 for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above have been adopted by the European Union with effective date of 01/01/2021.
Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16: "Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2021)
In August 2020, the IASB has finalized its response to the ongoing reform of IBOR and other interest benchmarks by issuing a package of amendments to IFRS Standards. The amendments complement those issued in 2019 and focus on the effects on financial statements when a company replaces the old interest rate benchmark with an alternative benchmark rate as a result of the reform. More specifically, the amendments relate to how a company will account for changes in the contractual cash flows of financial instruments, how it will account for a change in its hedging relationships as a result of the reform, as well as relevant information required to be disclosed. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above have been adopted by the European Union with effective date of 01/01/2021.
Amendments to IFRS 3 "Business Combinations", IAS 16 "Property, Plant and Equipment", IAS 37 "Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets" and "Annual Improvements 2018-2020" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2022)
In May 2020, the IASB issued a package of amendments which includes narrow-scope amendments to three Standards as well as the Board's Annual Improvements, which are changes that clarify the wording or correct minor consequences, oversights or conflicts between requirements in the Standards. More specifically
The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above have not been adopted by the European Union.
IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2023)
In May 2017, the IASB issued a new Standard, IFRS 17, which replaces an interim Standard, IFRS 4. The aim of the project was to provide a single principle-based standard to account for all types of insurance contracts, including reinsurance contracts that an insurer holds. A single principle-based standard would enhance comparability of financial reporting among entities, jurisdictions and capital markets. IFRS 17 sets out the requirements that an entity should apply in reporting information about insurance contracts it issues and reinsurance contracts it holds. Furthermore, in June 2020, the IASB issued amendments, which do not affect the fundamental principles introduced when IFRS 17 has first been issued. The amendments are designed to reduce costs by simplifying some requirements in the Standard, make financial performance easier to explain, as well as ease transition by deferring the effective date of the Standard to 2023 and by providing additional relief to reduce the effort required when applying the Standard for the first time. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above have not been adopted by the European Union.
In January 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 that affect requirements for the presentation of liabilities. Specifically, they clarify one of the criteria for classifying a liability as non-current, the requirement for an entity to have the right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. The amendments include: (a) specifying that an entity's right to defer settlement must exist at the end of the reporting period; (b) clarifying that classification is unaffected by management's intentions or expectations about whether the entity will exercise its right to defer settlement; (c) clarifying how lending conditions affect classification; and (d) clarifying requirements for classifying liabilities an entity will or may settle by issuing its own equity instruments. Furthermore, in July 2020, the IASB issued an amendment to defer by one year the effective date of the initially issued amendment to IAS 1, in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above have not been adopted by the European Union.
In February 2021, the IASB issued narrow-scope amendments that pertain to accounting policy disclosures. The objective of these amendments is to improve accounting policy disclosures so that they provide more useful information to investors and other primary users of the financial statements. More specifically, companies are required to disclose their material accounting policy information rather than their significant

accounting policies. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above have not been adopted by the European Union.
• Amendments to IAS 8 "Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors: Definition of Accounting Estimates" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2023)
In February 2021, the IASB issued narrow-scope amendments that they clarify how companies should distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates. That distinction is important because changes in accounting estimates are applied prospectively only to future transactions and other future events, but changes in accounting policies are generally also applied retrospectively to past transactions and other past events. The Group will examine the impact of the above on its Financial Statements, though it is not expected to have any. The above have not been adopted by the European Union.
