To the Board of Directors of "LAMPSA HELLENIC HOTELS S.A."
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed separate and consolidated statement of financial position of the Company "LAMPSA HELLENIC HOTELS S.A." as at 30th June 2022 and the related separate and consolidated condensed income statement and statement of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month period then ended, and the selected explanatory notes that comprise the interim condensed financial information, which forms an integral part of the sixmonth financial report under Law 3556/2007.
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of this interim condensed financial information in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and apply for Interim Financial Reporting (International Accounting Standard "IAS 34"). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these interim condensed financial statements based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Auditing Standards incorporated in the Greek legislation and, consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim condensed financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34.
We draw your attention to Note 2.16 to the interim condensed financial statements, which describes the existence of third parties pending court cases regarding a subsidiary Company, claiming compensations
totaling EUR 1.1 million. The final outcome of the court case cannot be estimated at present. Our conclusion is not qualified in respect of this matter.
Based on our review, we did not identify any material misstatement or error in the representations of the members of the Board of Directors and the information included in the six-month Board of Directors Management Report, as required under article 5 and 5a of Law 3556/2007, in respect of condensed separate and consolidated financial information.

The Group mainly operates in the hotel segment, affected by the crisis of COVID-19 pandemic in the first quarter. In the second quarter, tourism marked a significant recovery, resulting in the gradual return of some of the lost hotel revenue dynamics. In June, it became obvious that this dynamics substantially improved and, therefore, the Group's total revenues were higher than in the last corresponding period, before the pandemic crisis (2019). However, significant factors in the sales mix, such as conference tourism have been significantly affected due to bans on large scale gatherings; business travel has been almost completely replaced by online communication and cruises that also catered to hotels have only begun to gradually recover this year. The aforementioned losses were counterbalanced by substantial increase in revenues from leisure tourism.
The Group's operations are reflected in the financial sizes of the luxury hotel market of Athens and consequently of the Group during the first half of 2022. During this period there are several fluctuations in the comparative sizes of hotels between the two years, due to the different number of operating days and the separate effects of the pandemic.
Rooms occupancy in the market of luxury hotels in Athens increased by 169.4% compared to the corresponding period of 2021, setting the index at 53.5% compared to 19.8% in 2021. The average price per room in hotels increased by 27.7% compared to 2021, reaching € 191.18 compared to € 149.71 in 2021. Consequently, revenue per available room decreased in luxury hotels in Athens by 244.1% (€ 102.19 against € 29.70 in 2021) while total room revenues increased by 244.10%.
The "Great Britain" Hotel recorded an increase in sales of 260.85% compared to the corresponding period of 2021, while the "King George" Hotel recorded and increase in sales of 2,195.18%. The "Athens Capital" hotel recorded an increase in sales of 737.31%. The "Sheraton Rhodes" hotel recorded an increase in sales of 495.96%. Regarding the Group's Hotels in Serbia, the "Hyatt Regency Belgrade" recorded an increase of 88.17%, while the "Mercure Excelsior" recorded an increase of 54.66%. In particular, regarding the Group Hotels, the data were as follows:

However, the energy crisis has adversely affected the Group's profitability to a significant extent. The company's energy costs increased by €1 million or 159% compared to 2021 and €0.75 million or 89% compared to 2019. The price increases in a number of products (food, drinks, consumables, materials, etc.) as well as transport costs due to the high increase in the price of fuel were also significant. Finally, it is becoming all the more difficult to find specialized staff and at the same time payroll costs are increased.

Apart from the above, no other events occurred that affected the financial sizes of the Group or the Company.

In the first half of 2022, Turnover at consolidated level stood at € 39.03 m compared to € 9.99 m in the same period of 2021, recording an increase of 290.61%. Turnover of the parent company (Hotels "Great Britain", "King George" and "Sheraton")) stood at € 28.43 m from € 6.41 m in the corresponding period of 2021, increased by 343.38%.

Respectively, the operating results of the parent company amounted to profit of € 7.51 million against loss of € 0.94 m in 2021, increased by 901%. Furthermore, EBITDA margin amounted to 26% against 1% in 2021 for the Group and 26% against -15% for the company respectively.

During the current period of the first half of 2022, the Financial cost of the Group and the Company records an increase amounting to 637 thousand, which is due to the measurement of the Company's bond loan according to the effective interest method based on the new increased Euribor interest rates that were established on 30/6/2022.
Net Results (profits / loss) after tax and minority interests of the Group amounted to profit of € 1.08 m, compared to loss of € 8.27 m in the comparative period 2021. Regarding the parent company amounted to profit of € 1.11 m, against loss of € 7.24m of the comparative period 2021.
Trade and other trade receivables of the Group and the Company on 30/06/2022 are increased by 98% and 126% respectively compared to 31/12/2021. The change is mainly due to the increase in room occupancy in Athenian hotels at the start of the summer season.
Suppliers & other payables of the Group and the Company are significantly increased by 67% and 69% respectively compared to 12/31/2021. The change is due to an increase in suppliers by € 1.7
million, accrued expenses for the period € 2 million, VAT obligations € 1.4 million and other creditors € 1.2 million as a consequence of the increased operations of the Hotels.
On 31/01/2022 the societe anonyme under the title "ZALOKOSTA TOURISTIKI SINGLE MEMBER SPECIAL PURPOSE SOCIETE ANONYME" and distinctive title "SUITES APARTMENTS ZALOKOSTA" was established. The company is a 100% subsidiary of the Lampsa Hellenic Hotels SA. On April 1, 2022, both companies jointly signed a Building Lease Agreement, of total area of 1,854 sq.m. located in Athens, at 7-9 Zalokosta Street, owned by the Electronic National Social Security Agency (e-EFKA) in the context of the application of the award No. 258667 / 08.07.2021 of the Tender Announcement conducted by EFKA for lease of the above property. The contract was signed between e-EFKA on the one hand as a Lessor, on the other hand of the Company ZALOKOSTA SA as a Lessee, and on the other hand of LAMPSA SA as a Guarantor. The lease term is set at thirty (30) consecutive full years, with the right of extension by ten (10) years. The Basic Monthly Rental is set at € 34,500 and the Independent Percent Rental is set at 1.2% of the total annual turnover plus any kind of operating income, provided that the turnover plus any kind of operating income equals or exceeds € 600,000.
Following two years of uncertainty caused by the coronavirus pandemic, during the current fiscal year, a significant recovery of the tourism product was observed, resulting in an improvement in the dynamics of hotels in terms of revenue. This contributed to the Group's improvement in its total revenue to levels higher than those recorded in the last corresponding period, before the pandemic crisis (2019). The prospects for the second half of the year are equally positive and the year is expected to close with an impressive increase in revenue.
Nevertheless, the war in Ukraine poses further challenges for the global economy.
In addition to the humanitarian issue which is the most significant in any case, the disruption prevailed internationally since the beginning of 2022 due to the war between Russia and Ukraine, has caused a number of effects on the international economy, mainly at the level of raw material and energy prices.
The Group and the Company do not have significant exposure in the markets of Ukraine and Russia. Moreover, our contacts with the main booking networks (North America and Western Europe), ie travel agencies, local offices of the management company and conference organizers - groups, confirm that there are no reasons for cancellations or restrictions on travel due to war in Ukraine. Therefore, no direct or indirect adverse effects are expected on the projected revenue for the year 2022 for this reason. However, the adverse effects of the energy crisis are significant and are expected to worsen in the second half of the current financial year. The increase in energy costs and price increases in a range of products (food, beverages, consumables, materials, etc.) as well as transportation costs due to the high increase in fuel prices are expected to significantly affect the profitability of the Group and the Company.
The Group operates internationally and carries out trade and loan transaction in foreign currency. Therefore, it is exposed to foreign currency translation differences (another major country of the Group's operations, apart from Greece, is Serbia). The Parent Company exposure to currency risk arises mainly from the bond loan issue in US Dollars.
More than 80% of the Group sales are held through credit cards and credit sales are mainly made to customers with an estimated credit history.
As at 30 June 2022, the Company has negative working capital (Group positive), as the short-term liabilities exceed the current assets by € 3,294 thousand. The short-term liabilities of the parent company include loans of 5,900 thousand. It is worth noting that the short-term loans refer to open
margin loans which are renewed by transferring their maturity with no commitment to repayment. In addition, short-term liabilities include short-term contractual liabilities amounting to €3,562 thousand, which concern advance payments for bookings for the next 12 months, expected to be settled when services are rendered. Taking into account the above, the working capital of the Group and the companies becomes positive by €6,168 thousand.
It is to be noted that the financial statements of the companies included in the consolidation have been prepared based on the going concern principle.
The Group's policy is to minimize its exposure to interest rate cash flow risk with respect to long-term financing. As of June 30, 2022, the Company and the Group are exposed to market changes in the interest rate with respect to bank borrowing. The Company is in negotiations with the lending banks for the refinancing of the existing Common Bond Loan, in order to achieve more favorable terms than the current ones and limit the financial costs.
Sheraton Rhodes Resort Hotel Sale
As part of its business policy, and in order to focus its operations on central city hotels and to strengthen its position both business-wise and capital-wise, on August 3, 2022, the Company signed contrast for disposal of the property (book value on 30.06 in the books of the parent company €28 million) on which the Sheraton Rhodes Resort Hotel operates, located in Ialyssos Rhodes, against a consideration of forty-three million, eight hundred thousand euro (€43,800,000), which includes the property and the equipment, to the company under the title "AZORA FCR RHODES SINGLE MEMBER S.A." and distinctive title "AZORA FCR RHODES S.A.".

Extraordinary monetary reward of 1 million euro to the employees of the Great Britain, King George, Sheraton Rhodes and Athens Capital Hotels
On 01/07/2022, the Boards of Directors of the Parent company and the subsidiary company KRIEZOTOY decided to provide an extraordinary monetary reward of 1 million euro total cost for the Group to all the employees of the Great Britain, King George, Sheraton Rhodes and Athens Capital Hotels, thus implementing an initiative of the main shareholder of LAMPSA Hellenic Hotels S.A. This extraordinary monetary reward was paid in full in July. The Management of LAMPSA announced the distribution of this horizontal additional bonus €1,000 to all the employees without exception as a reward for the efforts they make every day in order to ensure the excellent quality of hospitality services, especially under the pressure of the high tourist season. The reason for this action arose from the number of positive comments and messages of thanks that hotel managers receive on a daily basis from guests at the same time when occupancy reaches 100%.
Lampsa recognizes and rewards ethos, performance and high levels of professionalism of its staff, which has undoubtedly been the strongest point of excellence of the company's hotels in the tourism segment for a number of years, with the historical Grand Bretagne Hotel as its flagship.

Under this lease, the company entered into an agreement with the international hotel group Accor Hotels, to take over the management of the hotel, under the brand name MGallery. The contract is for 25 years and includes a basic fee for revenue management and a fee for achieving objectives. Accor Hotels is a Hotel Group, offering unique experiences through over 4,500 hotels, resorts and residences in 100 different countries. With a portfolio of internationally renowned hotels it covers the entire range of visitors, for more than 50 years.
LAMPSA Group has fully adopted all IFRSs and interpretations adopted by the European Union, whose application is mandatory for the preparation of corporate and consolidated financial statements for the current period.
The Company's Interim Condensed Financial Statements as of 30/06/2022 cover the period from January, 1, 2022 to June 30, 2022 and have been prepared in compliance with International Accounting Standard («IAS») 34 "Interim Financial Reporting".
The accounting policies based on which the condensed six-month Financial Statements were prepared and are presented are in accordance with those used under the preparation of the Group and the Company Annual Financial Statements for the FY ended as at December 31, 2021, apart from amendments to the standards, effective as from 01/01/2022.
The Interim Condensed Six-month Financial Statements shall be considered in line with the annual financial statements as of December 31st, 2021, available on the parent Company's website www.lampsa.gr.
The Interim Condensed Six-month Financial Statements for the period 1/1 – 30/06/2022 have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified due to revaluation of certain assets and liabilities at current values and going concern principle.
The financial statements of the Parent and subsidiaries have been prepared based on the going concern principle, as the Group's Management assesses that given the latest available data and its estimates of the effect of the external factors (Covid-19 pandemic, energy crisis, war in Ukraine) on the Group's financial sizes for the next 12 months, there will be sufficient liquidity in order to ensure the Group's uninterrupted operations.
Moreover, preparation of condensed interim six-month Financial Statements requires use of calculations and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on the best knowledge of the Management with respect to current events and actions, actual results may finally differ from those estimates.
All the revised or newly issued Standards and interpretations applicable to the Group and effective on January 1, 2022 were taken into account under the preparation of the financial statements of the current year to the extent they were applicable.
The following new Standards, Interpretations and amendments of IFRSs have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), are adopted by the European Union, and their application is mandatory from or after 01/01/2022.
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:
Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations update a reference in IFRS 3 to the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting without changing the accounting requirements for business combinations.
Amendments to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment prohibit a company from deducting from the cost of property, plant and equipment amounts received from selling items produced while the company is preparing the asset for its intended use. Instead, a company will recognize such sales proceeds and related cost in profit or loss.
Amendments to IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets specify which costs a company includes when assessing whether a contract will be loss-making.
Annual Improvements 2018-2020 make minor amendments to IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, IAS 41 Agriculture and the Illustrative Examples accompanying IFRS 16 Leases.
The amendments do not affect the consolidated Financial Statements.
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.
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 above are not expected to have any impact on the Group and the Company Financial Statements. The above have been adopted by the European Union with effective date of 01/01/2023.
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 been adopted by the European Union with effective date of 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 been adopted by the European Union with effective date of 01/01/2023.
Amendments to IAS 12 "Income Taxes: Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2023)
In May 2021, the IASB issued targeted amendments to IAS 12 to specify how companies should account for deferred tax on transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations – transactions for which companies recognise both an asset and a liability. In specified circumstances, companies are exempt from recognising deferred tax when they recognise assets or liabilities for the first time. The amendments clarify that the exemption does not apply and that companies are required to recognise deferred tax on such transactions. 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 01/01/2023.
In December 2021, the IASB issued a narrow-scope amendment to the transition requirements in IFRS 17 to address an important issue related to temporary accounting mismatches between insurance contract liabilities and financial assets in the comparative information presented when applying IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts" and IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" for the first time. The amendment aims to improve the usefulness of comparative information for the users of the financial statements. The above are not expected to have any impact on the Group and the Company Financial Statements. The above have been adopted by the European Union with effective date of 01/01/2023.
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.
Amendments to IFRS 16 "'Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback" (effective for annual periods starting on or after 01/01/2024)
In September, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 16, Leases, relating to sale and leaseback transactions. The amendments specifies the way an entity accounts for sale and leaseback transaction. A sale and leaseback transaction involves the transfer of an asset by an entity (the seller-lessee) to another entity (the buyer-lessor) and the leaseback of the same asset by the seller-lessee. IFRS 16 includes requirements regarding the accounting treatment of a sale and leaseback at the date the transaction takes place. However, the Standard did not specify the wat the transaction is measured after that date. The issued amendments add to the requirements of IFRS 16 regarding sale and leaseback, thus supporting the consistent application of the accounting standard. These amendments will not change the accounting treatment for leases other than those arising from a sale and leaseback transaction. 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 accordance with the provisions of IFRS 8, identification of operating segments is based on the "Management approach". According to this approach, the information to be disclosed regarding the operating segments should be based on internal organizational and management structure of the Group and the main items of internal financial reporting provided to the key decision makers. In the previous year, the Management decided to change the way of monitoring the business segments. Operating segments are now monitored per geographical area where the hotel units are located as the management considers it to be the most efficient way for decision making regarding allocation of resources and evaluation of their performance. The management estimates that monitoring operating segments per geographical area is more appropriate as this way better reflects the special characteristics (risks, opportunities, competition, etc.) of the hotel units due to the area where they are located. Therefore, the management decided on a change in operating segments, presenting the following categories: Athens City Hotels, Resorts, Belgrade City Hotels & Other instead of renting rooms, food and beverage sales and other activities presented in the previous years. It is to be noted that the Group applies the same accounting principles for the measurement of operating segments results as those in the Financial Statements.
Transactions between operating segments are performed within the regular business operations of the Group. Inter-segment sales are eliminated on consolidation.
The Group results, assets and liabilities per segment in respect of the presented periods are analyzed as follows:

On 31/01/2022 the societe anonyme under the title "ZALOKOSTA TOURISTIKI SINGLE MEMBER SPECIAL PURPOSE SOCIETE ANONYME" and distinctive title "SUITES APARTMENTS ZALOKOSTA" was established. On April 1, 2022, the company signed a Building Lease Agreement, of total area of 1,854 sq.m. located in Athens, at 7-9 Zalokosta Street, owned by the Electronic National Social Security Agency (e-EFKA) in the context of the application of the award No. 258667/08.07.2021 of the Tender Announcement conducted by EFKA for lease of the above property. The contract was signed between e-EFKA on the one hand as a Lessor, on the other hand of the Company ZALOKOSTA SA as a Lessee, and on the other hand of LAMPSA SA as a Guarantor. The lease term is set at thirty (30) consecutive full years, with the right of extension by ten (10) years. The Basic Monthly Rental is set at € 34,500 and the Independent Percent Rental is set at 1.2% of the total annual turnover plus any kind of operating income, provided that the turnover plus any kind of operating income equals or exceeds € 600,000. Based on the above agreement and the application of the IFRS 16 standard, right-of-use assets were recognized with a corresponding increase in lease liabilities amounting to € 11,386 k.
In 2018, "LAMPSA SA" acquired the remaining 50% of the share capital of the company "TOURISTIKA THERETRA SA" (Sheraton Rhodes Resort hotel) while since prior year (2008) it held a percentage of 50%. Goodwill amounting to € 3,475 k was recognized from this acquisition. Following the acquisition of "TOURISTIKA THERETRA SA" and the acquisition of 100% of the voting rights, "LAMPSA SA" proceeded with the merger through the absorption of the latter by the former with the balance sheet date of 31/10/2018.
Goodwill is annually tested for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the value could be impaired. Regarding the current period, the management evaluated the existence of
further indications of impairment for its investments and the recognized goodwill. Given reopening of the hotel industry, the overall recovering of the economy from the effects of the pandemic, the increase in sales relative to budget revenues, and the recovery of tourism worldwide, the Management concluded that there are no further indications in order to conduct an analytical impairment test in the interim period.

As at 30/06/2022, the Company share capital amounts to € 23.927,680, divided in 21.364.000 common shares of nominal value € 1.12 each. The Company shares are listed on the Athens Stock Exchange Security Market (Travel & Leisure Sector, Hotels).
As for the subsidiaries in Serbia, BEOGRADSKO MESOVITO PREDUZECE has acquired 5.4% of its shares having paid the amount of € 2.5 million, while EXCELSIOR BELGRADE SOCIATE OWNED has acquired 17,23% of its shares for a consideration of € 1.1 million.
There aren't at the end of the current period, shares of the parent Company held by it or by its subsidiaries or jointly controlled entities..
The account "Other Reserves" of the Group includes the following reserves categories: "Statutory Reserves" and "Other Reserves".
Statutory reserve is mandatory formed from the profits of each period year and remains in equity of the Company to offset any losses incurred in the future and is taxed in each period in which it was formed and therefore is tax exempted.
The account "Other Reserves" includes the reserves under Development Law 1892/1990. In particular, after the merger with the absorption of the former "TOURISTIKA THERETRA SA." (Sheraton Hotel), LAMPSA SA became the universal successor of the tax deduction right under Law 1892/1990, for the productive investments made by the former "TOURISTIKA THERETRA SA" (Sheraton Hotel) in Rhodes in the previous years.
Under provisions of Law 1892/1990, the maximum amount of profits (after deducting non-actual profits, statutory reserves, plus the tax accounting differences, less the distributed dividends of the year), the company has the right to deduct tax as that of € 11,397 k, which is 70% of the deductible expenses of the investment. The tax deduction that resulted from the profits of the fiscal year 2019 and 2018 (after deducting non-actual profits, statutory reserves, plus the tax accounting differences, less the distributed dividends of the year ) amounted to € 5.7 million and € 3.8 million respectively and the tax deduction to € 1.4 million and € 1.1 million respectively. Respectively, the profits remaining for the formation of the reserves, calculated under the current tax rate, from the next profitable year, amount to € 1.9 million and the tax deduction, calculated under the current tax rate, to € 0.41 million. As for the remaining reserves, they can be distributed to the shareholders provided that the corresponding tax is paid.
Offsetting deferred tax assets and liabilities is performed, in terms of company, when there is an enforceable legal right to do so and when the deferred income taxes relate to the same tax authority.
The tax rates for the current year regarding the companies operating abroad are as follows:
| Country | Tax rate |
|---|---|
| SERBIA | 15% |
| CYPRUS | 12,50% |
Deferred income tax is calculated on temporary differences using the tax rates expected to apply to the countries where the Group companies are active. The amounts shown in the Statement of Financial Position are expected to be recovered or settled after the current period.
Income tax (deferred) for the current period amounts to expenses of € 0.18 million for the Group and expenses of € 0.13 million for the Company against expenses of € 0.19 million for the Group and € 0.8 million for the Company last period.

The Group mainly operates in the hotel segment, affected by the crisis of COVID-19 pandemic in the first quarter. In the second quarter, tourism marked a significant recovery, resulting in the gradual return of some of the lost hotel revenue dynamics. In June, it became obvious that this dynamics substantially improved and, therefore, the Group's total revenues were higher than in the last corresponding period, before the pandemic crisis (2019). However, significant factors in the sales mix, such as conference tourism have been significantly affected due to bans on large scale gatherings; business travel has been almost completely replaced by online communication and cruises that also catered to hotels have only begun to gradually recover this year. The aforementioned losses were counterbalanced by substantial increase in revenues from leisure tourism.
The Group's operations are reflected in the financial sizes of the luxury hotel market of Athens and consequently of the Group during the first half of 2022. During this period there are several fluctuations in the comparative sizes of hotels between the two years, due to the different number of operating days and the separate effects of the pandemic.
Rooms occupancy in the market of luxury hotels in Athens increased by 169.4% compared to the corresponding period of 2021, setting the index at 53.5% compared to 19.8% in 2021. The average price per room in hotels increased by 27.7% compared to 2021, reaching € 191.18 compared to € 149.71 in 2021. Consequently, revenue per available room decreased in luxury hotels in Athens by 244.1% (€ 102.19 against € 29.70 in 2021) while total room revenues increased by 244.10%.
The "Great Britain" Hotel recorded an increase in sales of 260.85% compared to the corresponding period of 2021, while the "King George" Hotel recorded and increase in sales of 2,195.18%. The "Athens Capital" hotel recorded an increase in sales of 737.31%.
Regarding the Group's Hotels in Serbia, the "Hyatt Regency Belgrade" recorded an increase of 88.17%, while the "Mercure Excelsior" recorded an increase of 54.66%.
In the first half of 2022, Turnover at consolidated level stood at € 39.03 m compared to € 9.99 m in the same period of 2021, recording an increase of 290.61%. Turnover of the parent company (Hotels "Great Britain", "King George" and "Sheraton")) stood at € 28.43 m from € 6.41 m in the corresponding period of 2021, increased by 343.38%.
Consolidated Gross Results stood at profit € 12.46 m against loss of € 2.39 m in 2021 due to the covid-19 pandemic, while the gross profit margin changed from loss -23.91% in 2021 to profit 31.93% in 2022. Gross results of the parent company amounted to profits of € 10.18 m against loss of € 1.09 m in 2021. The Company's gross profit margin stood at loss of -17.00% in 2021 against profit 55.22% in 2022.
The Group's operating results - EBITDA amounted to profit of € 10.261 m against profit of € 0,073 million in 2021, increased by 13.932%. Respectively, the operating results of the parent company amounted to profit of € 7.51 million against loss of € 0.94 m in 2021, increased by 901%. Furthermore, EBITDA margin amounted to 26% against 1% in 2021 for the Group and 26% against -15% for the company respectively.
The Group's Results before tax amounted to profit of € 1,26 m, compared to loss of € 8.08 m in the comparative period 2021. Regarding the parent company amounted to profit of € 1.24 m, compared to loss of € 6.42 m of the comparative period 2021.
During the current period of the first half of 2022, the Financial cost of the Group and the Company records an increase amounting to 637 thousand, which is due to the measurement of the Company's bond loan according to the effective interest method based on the new increased Euribor interest rates that were established on 30/6/2022.
Net Results (profits / loss) after tax and minority interests of the Group amounted to profit of € 1.08 m, compared to loss of € 8.27 m in the comparative period 2021. Regarding the parent company amounted to profit of € 1.11 m, against loss of € 7.24 m of the comparative period 2021.
Trade and other trade receivables of the Group and the Company on 30/06/2022 are increased by 98% and 126% respectively compared to 31/12/2021. The change is mainly due to the increase in room occupancy in Athenian hotels at the start of the summer season.
Suppliers & other payables of the Group and the Company are significantly increased by 67% and 69% respectively compared to 12/31/2021. The change is due to an increase in suppliers by € 1.7 million, accrued expenses for the period € 2 m, VAT obligations € 1.4 m and other creditors € 1.2 m as a consequence of the increased operations of the Hotels.

No loans have been granted to members of the Board of Directors or key executives of the Group and their families and there are no receivables/ liabilities from/to related parties.
a) Administrative procedures for the compensation to former owners of the land on which the Hyatt Hotel (subsidiary company BEOGRADSKO MESOVITO PREDUZECE) and other third party structures have been effective. Regarding the aforementioned case, the Group has made a provision in its consolidated financial statements amounting to € 1.169 k, which it regards as sufficient.
b) Court cases filed against the subsidiary company BEOGRADSKO MESOVITO PREDUZECE standing at 1.1 m (less interest and surcharges) referring to the former employees demanding compensation due to termination of the employment relationship. The Group's Management estimates that there are no reasons for compensation concerning the termination of the employment relationship, given that both plaintiffs voluntarily resigned. The Management of the Subsidiary has also acted against the plaintiffs, and preliminary examination of both conflicts has not yet started. As the cases are still at an early stage, the final outcome cannot presently be determined, and no provision has been made in the financial statements of the Group.
Apart from the aforementioned, there are no other litigation or arbitration disputes of courts or arbitration bodies that may have a significant impact on the financial performance or operations of the Group beyond the provisions that have already been made (§ 2.13).

Regarding the unaudited tax years of the Group companies, there is a probability that additional taxes and surcharges could be imposed, during the period when they are examined and finalized by the relevant tax authorities.
For the FYs 2011- 2020, the parent company and TOURISTIKA THERETRA S.A. were subject to tax audit of the Certified Public Accountants as provided by Article 82, par. 5, Law 2238/1994 and Article 65a, Law 4174/2013. Regarding the companies audited by Statutory Auditors and Auditing Firms in respect of tax provisions, the issues are selected for tax inspection in compliance with Article 26, Law 4174/2013, as effective. The tax inspection in question can be conducted within the FY, during which the Tax Authorities are entitled to issue tax identification acts.
For the FY 2021, the tax audit of the Certified Public Accountants for the issue of the Tax Compliance Report is in progress. The management does not expect that significant tax liabilities are to arise upon the completion of the tax audit, other than those recorded and presented in the financial statements.
According to the relevant legislation, the audit and issue of tax certificates are optional for the years 2017 and onwards.
For FYs 2015 to 2017, the parent company was audited by the tax authorities based on the audit order of 14/05/2019 regarding all the tax items. During the final phase of the audit, the findings of the tax authorities were communicated to the company and accepted, and regarding these finding, the Parent Company submitted amending declarations for Income and Stamp Duties under the favorable provisions of Law 4512/18. The total amount of additional taxes and fines paid amounted to € 61 k. for all three years and burdened the results of the year 2019. The Final Audit Sheet was disclosed by the Tax Authorities on 18/05/2020.
In addition, the audit order on 14/03/2022 was disclosed regarding the former company TOURISTIKA THERETRA SA, which was absorbed by the parent company in the previous year, for the fiscal years 2016- 2017 for Income Taxes and VAT issues. The above audit is in progress and it is estimated that no significant additional tax obligations will arrive and, therefore, no relative provision has been made.
On 31/12/2021 the fiscal years until 31/12/2015 expired according to the provisions of par. 36 of Law 4174/2013, with the exceptions provided by the current legislation for the extension of the right of the Tax Administration to issue an administrative act, estimated or corrective tax determination in specific cases
It is estimated that no significant additional tax liabilities will arise for the unaudited tax years of the other companies of the Group and, therefore, no relevant provision has been made.

The Group is exposed to financial risks such as market risk (fluctuations in exchange rates, interest rates, market prices, etc.), credit risk and liquidity risk.
The Group's financial instruments comprise bank deposits, overdraft rights, trade receivables and payables, loans to subsidiaries, associated companies, dividends payable and lease liabilities.
Since 2008, the Group applies a risk management program for such risks. The risk management program aims to limit the negative impact on the financial results of the Group caused by unpredictability of financial markets and variation in the variables of cost and sales. The Group intends to use, in the near future, derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to specific risk categories.
The risk management process applied by the Group, is as follows:
The hotel industry has been adversely affected by the unprecedented crisis caused by COVID-19 pandemic, which has significantly reduced travel (business and leisure) volumes.
The Group Management followed all the developments regarding the pandemic at its early stag and was in constant communication with the association of hoteliers, the Chamber of Hotels and all the relevant bodies. Moreover, it had on-going consultations with the managing company, implementing all the required actions in terms of taking protecting the health of employees as well as the public health. The Group Management recorded the risks and assessed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the results and future cash flows of the Group at all the stages, taking the necessary measures to facilitate adequate liquidity and ensure the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.
In the first half of 2022, when all the countries were gradually lifting the restrictive measures, this dynamics substantially improved and, therefore, the Group's total revenues were higher than in the last corresponding period, before the pandemic crisis (2019).
Despite the de-escalation of the adverse effects of the pandemic, it is possible that there will be future outbreaks of COVID-19 cases, mutations, inability to address the crisis or further imposition of restrictive measures on travelling. In this case, the Group may be adversely affected once again. It is also worth pointing out that the pandemic has already changed the habits of both - corporate and private customers and caused a decrease in catering services events revenue.
The Group operates internationally and carries out trade and loan transaction in foreign currency. Therefore, it is exposed to foreign currency translation differences (another major country of the Group's operations, apart from Greece, is Serbia). The Parent Company exposure to currency risk arises mainly from trade liabilities in US Dollars.
More than 80% of the Group sales are held through credit cards and credit sales, mainly to customers of an estimated credit conduct history.
As at 30 June 2022, the Company has negative working capital (Group positive), as the short-term liabilities exceed the current assets by € 3,294 thousand. The short-term liabilities of the parent company include loans of 5,900 thousand. It is worth noting that the short-term loans refer to open margin loans which are renewed by transferring their maturity with no commitment to repayment. In addition, short-term liabilities include short-term contractual liabilities amounting to €3,562 thousand, which concern advance payments for bookings for the next 12 months, expected to be settled when services are rendered. Taking into account the above, the working capital of the Group and the companies becomes positive by €6,168 thousand.
It is to be noted that the financial statements of the companies included in the consolidation have been prepared based on the going concern principle.
The Group's policy is to minimize its exposure to the risk of cash flows interest rates as far as long-term financing is concerned. On June 30, 2022, the Company and the Group are exposed to the risk of changes in market interest regarding their bank borrowings. The Company is in negotiations with the lending banks for the refinancing of the existing Common Bond Loan, in order to achieve more favorable terms than the current ones and limit the financial costs.
As part of its business policy, and in order to focus its operations on central city hotels and to strengthen its position both business-wise and capital-wise, on August 3, 2022, the Company signed contrast for disposal of the property (book value on 30.06 in the books of the parent company €28 million) on which the Sheraton Rhodes Resort Hotel operates, located in Ialyssos Rhodes, against a consideration of forty-three million, eight hundred thousand euro (€43,800,000), which includes the property and the equipment, to the company under the title "AZORA FCR RHODES SINGLE MEMBER S.A." and distinctive title "AZORA FCR RHODES S.A.". The above company is a subsidiary of the Spanish Group "AZORA GROUP" operating in hotel business and real estate investment. The sale consideration was used in part to fully repay the Alpha Bank Bond Loan. "LAMPSA Hellenic Hotels S.A." will continue the operation of the hotel until the end of the summer season, in order to ensure the going concern for the purchasing company.
On 01/07/2022, the Boards of Directors of the Parent company and the subsidiary company KRIEZOTOY decided to provide an extraordinary monetary reward of 1 million euro total cost for the Group to all the employees of the Great Britain, King George, Sheraton Rhodes and Athens Capital Hotels, thus implementing an initiative of the main shareholder of LAMPSA Hellenic Hotels S.A. This extraordinary monetary reward was paid in full in July. The Management of LAMPSA announced the distribution of this horizontal additional bonus €1,000 to all the employees without exception as a reward for the efforts they make every day in order to ensure the excellent quality of hospitality services, especially under the pressure of the high tourist season. The reason for this action arose from the number of positive comments and messages of thanks that hotel managers receive on a daily basis from guests at the same time when occupancy reaches 100%.
Lampsa recognizes and rewards ethos, performance and high levels of professionalism of its staff, which has undoubtedly been the strongest point of excellence of the company's hotels in the tourism segment for a number of years, with the historical Grand Bretagne Hotel as its flagship.
