This report of the Board of Directors of LOULIS FOOD INGREDIENTS SA (hereinafter referred to as the "Company") has been prepared in accordance with current legislation and applicable Hellenic Capital Market Commission provisions and is referred to the Interim Condensed Financial Statements (Consolidated and Separate) of June 30,2022 and for the six-month period then ended. The LOULIS MILLS Group (hereinafter the "Group"), beyond the Company includes subsidiaries which the Company controls directly or indirectly. Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union (EU).
This report contains the financial review from January 01, 2022 to June 30, 2022, the important events that took place in the first six months of 2022, the estimated growth and development for the second half of 2022, the description of the significant risks and uncertainties for the second half of the fiscal year, the Group's and Company's significant transactions with their related parties, the most important facts that have been occurred until the date of the preparation of the Financial Statements and any other additional information required by legislation.
The Group's Sales for the first half of 2022 amounted to € 97,59 million compared to € 60,97 million for the corresponding period of 2021, increased by 60,05%. At the same time, the Company's Sales amounted to € 85,98 million compared to € 54,25 million for the corresponding period of 2021, having increased by 58,48%.
Regarding the Sales per segment, a significant increase was observed in the sold quantities of "Consumer Mill's Products & Mixtures for Bakery and Pastry" for the Group and the Company, since in the first half of 2022 they amounted to 10,9 thousand tones compared to 10,1 thousand tones in the previous period. That increase affected correspondingly the sales of that product category, since in the first half of 2022 they increased by 32,19% for the Group and 31,98% for the Company compared to the corresponding period of 2021. The sold quantities of "Business Mill's Products" for the first half of 2022 for the Group amounted to 124,1 thousand tones, having increased by 6,60% compared to the previous period, whereas the corresponding sold quantities of "Business Mill's Products" for the Company amounted to 109,9 thousand tones having increased by 7,07% compared to the corresponding period of 2021. Accordingly, the sales of that product category in the first half of 2022 for the Group and the Company amounted to € 62,12 million and € 56,16 million respectively, having increased by 50,78% and 50,04% respectively compared to the first half of the previous year. The sold quantities of "Mixtures & Raw Materials for Bakery and Pastry" in the first half of 2022, amounted to € 5,67 million from € 3,12 compared to the corresponding period of 2021, having increased by 81,92%. The increase in sales in the aforementioned categories was due to the increases in the selling prices of the products in the first half of 2022 in order to offset the unprecedented rise in the price of raw materials (wheat), auxiliary materials and energy costs in production. Finally, the sold quantities of the "Cereal" category for the Group and the Company in the first half of 2022 amounted to 42 thousand tones, showing an increase of 17,94% compared to the corresponding period of the previous year. The sales of "Cereals" to third parties for the Group and for the Company amounted to € 21,20 million and € 21,18 million respectively, showing a significant increase compared to the corresponding period of the previous year which was € 10,15 million for the Group and the Company. The significant increase in the sales of "Cereals" was due to the surge in cereals' purchase prices of the recent period 2021-2022, both domestically and internationally.
The Group's Cost of Sales for the first half of 2022 amounted to € 82,68 million from € 51,05 million in the first half of 2021, increased by 61,97%. At the same time, the cost of sales for the Company amounted to € 74,10 million from € 45,56 million in the previous period, having increased by 62,66%. This increase of the
Cost of Sales for the Group and the Company is mainly due to a) the continuous challenges because of the the "Covid-19" pandemic, b) the significant and ongoing rise in the price of key categories of raw and auxiliary materials in the local and international market, c) the significant increase of transportation cost and particularly of the fares of container-transportation and d) the significant rise of energy cost.
Accordingly, the Gross Profit for the first half of 2022 amounted to € 14,90 million for the Group and € 11,87 million for the Company, increased by 50,18% from € 9,92 million in the first half of 2021 for the Group and increased by 36,57% from € 8,69 million in the first half of 2021 for the Company. Furthermore, as percentage of sales from 16,27% and 16,03% in the first half of 2021 for the Group and the Company respectively, decreased to 15,27% for the Group and 13,81% for the Company in the first half of 2022. The decrease in gross profit in the Group and the Company is mainly due to the continuously increasing cost of goods sold in the first half of 2022, despite the increase in the selling prices from the first quarter of 2022 and onwards.
The Group's Administrative Expenses and Distribution Costs for the first half of 2022 amounted to € 12,42 million, increased by 27,48% compared to the corresponding period of the previous year that amounted to € 9,74 million, while on the other hand as a percentage to sales decreased because in the first half of 2021 represented 15,98% of sales compared to the first half of 2022 when they represented 12,73%. Respectively, the administrative expenses and the distribution costs for the Company amounted to € 10,43 million for the first half of 2022, increased by 23,09% compared to € 8,47 million for the previous year, while the ratio of administrative expenses and distribution costs to sales decreased, while in the first half of 2021 represented 15,61% of sales compared to the first half 2022 when they represented 12,13%. In particular, the Group's Distribution Costs, as a percentage to total sales, decreased, since in the first half 2021 they represented 11,36% of sales compared to 8,12% for the current period, whereas the Administrative Expenses amounted to € 4,49 million in the first half of 2022, increased by 59,50% compared to the previous period. Similarly, the Distribution Costs for the Company, as a percentage to total sales, decreased, since in the first half of 2021 they represented 10,85% of sales compared to 7,46% for the current period, whereas the Administrative Expenses amounted to € 4,01 million in the first half 2022, increased by 55,37% compared to the previous year.
The Group's Financial Expenses amounted to € 1,17 million for the first half of 2022, increased by 44,88% compared to the first half of 2021 when they amounted to € 0,81 million, while as a percentage to sales they decreased from 1,33% to 1,20%. Correspondingly, the Financial Expenses for the Company for the first half of 2022 amounted to € 1,06 million, having increased by 56,11% compared to the first half 2021, while as a percentage to sales they decreased from 1,25% to 1,23%. The increase in the financial expenses for the Group and the Company in the first half of 2022 is mainly due to the increase in the financing of the Group and the Company to cover the increased needs in working capital, compared to the corresponding period of the previous year.
The Total Depreciation for the first half of 2022 amounted to € 2,58 million for the Group and € 2,32 million for the Company, compared to € 2,56 million for the Group and € 2,32 million for the Company in the previous period, presenting an increase by 0,76% and 0,18% respectively. As a percentage to sales, they decreased for the Group, while in the first half of 2021 they represented 4,19% of sales compared to the first half of 2022 when they represented 2,64%. Similarly, they decreased for the Company, while in the first half of 2021 they represented 4,27% of sales compared to the first half of 2022 when they represented 2,70%.
The Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA)1 for the first half of 2022 amounted to € 6,87 million for the Group and € 5,22 million for the Company, having increased by 62,41% from € 4,23 million in the first half of 2021 for the Group and increased by 38,02% from € 3,78 million in the first half of 2021 for the Company. Whereas, as a percentage to sales, for the Group it increased from 6,94% to 7,04% in the first half of 2022, and for the Company it decreased from 6,97% to 6,07% in the first half of 2022.
In the light of the above, the Group's Net Profit before Tax for the first half of 2022 amounted to € 2,22 million compared to 0,79 million in the previous period, representing a significant increase, while as a percentage to sales it increased to 2,28% in the first half of 2022 from 1,29% in the first half of 2021.
Respectively, for the Company the Net Profit before Tax amounted to € 1,01 million in the first half of 2022 compared to € 0,71 million in the first half of 2021, having increased by 41,25%, while as a percentage to sales it decreased from 1,32% in the first half of 2021 to 1,17% in the first half of 2022.
The Income Tax for the Group amounted to € -0,18 million for the first half of 2022 from € 0,67 million in the previous year, while for the Company it amounted to € -0,19 million from € 0,65 million. Despite the higher profitability in the first half of 2022, the significant change in income tax is due to the effect of the decrease of the Corporate Income Tax Rate in Greece from 24% to 22% on the basis of Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities in the corresponding period of the previous year.
Following the above, the Group's Net Income after Tax for the first half of 2022 (distributed to the Company's shareholders) amounted to € 2,04 million from € 1,46 million in the first half of 2021 and as percentage to sales it decreased from 2,40% in the first half of 2021 to 2,09% in the first half of 2022. Similarly, the Company's net profit after tax for the first half of 2022 amounted to € 0,82 million from € 1,36 million in the first half of 2021, while as a percentage to sales it decreased from 2,51% in the first half of 2021 to 0,96% in the first half of 2022.
For the first half of 2022, the Operating Cash Flows for the Group and the Company amounted to € -7,90 million and to € -10,16 million respectively, while in the previous period it amounted to € 5,46 million for the Group and 3,91 million for the Company.
The Purchases of Tangible and Intangible Assets for the Group for the current period amounted to € 2,56 million compared to € 1,28 million for the prior period.
The Group's Total Net Borrowing1 at June 30, 2022 amounted to € 62,94 million compared to € 42,61 million at June 30, 2021, representing an increase by 47,73% while the Company's Total Net Borrowing at June 30, 2022 amounted to € 58,32 million compared to € 37,41 million at June 30, 2021, increased by 55,89%. The increase in the Group's and the Company's net borrowing is mainly due to the financing of the increased working capital needs compared to the corresponding period of the previous year.

The estimated course for the second half of 2022 greatly depends on the continuing uncertainty in the domestic market due to the ongoing war situation in Ukraine, the energy crisis and the continuous challenges created by the "Covid-19" pandemic in each country the Group operates.
Within 2022, a greater recovery in the demand for food products is expected to be recorded compared to 2021, with a positive impact on the Group's financial results. In any case, the impact in the next period and the course of the recovery cannot be estimated as they depend on the course of indicators and benchmarks, such as the international prices of raw and auxiliary materials, the cost of energy, the domestic and regional demand, the development and effectiveness of the vaccination program internationally, any new mutations and outbreaks of the pandemic, the effect of fiscal and monetary policy measures, etc., things that the Group cannot influence.
The competitive production base, storage and supply facilities, strong operational performance and sufficient financial liquidity are important competitive advantages which will allow the continuation of the successful course, the smooth implementation of the 2022-2025 strategic plan and shall ensure the business viability of the Group.
The main risks that the Group is exposed to and is likely to face during the second half of 2022 are as follows:
The Group does not have significant concentration of credit risk in any of its contracting parties, mainly due to the large number of customers and the great dispersion of the Group's customer base.
The Management of the Group has adopted and applies credit control procedures to minimize its doubtful receivables through the evaluation of the credit ability of its customers and the effective management of the receivables before they become overdue. For the monitoring of credit risk, customers are classified according to their credit profile, the maturity of their receivables and the historical background of their collection.
Additionally, the Group's companies have an insurance contract that covers most of their claims. This contract cannot be sold or transferred. Customers considered to be unreliable are reevaluated at every reporting date and when a likelihood of non-recovery of these receivables occurs, a provision for doubtful debts is formed.
The Group keeps its liquidity risk at low levels through the availability of adequate cash or/and approved bank credit limits ensuring the fulfillment of the Group's short-term financial liabilities. The Group's liquidity ratio (current assets to current liabilities) amounted to 2,81 at June 30, 2022 towards 3,12 at June 30,2021.
For the monitoring and management of liquidity risk the Group forms cash flow projections on a regular basis.
The Group's exposure to the risk of changes in the interest rates relates to its short-term and long-term loans. The Group manages Interest Rate Risk through keeping all of its loans at variable interest rates while at the same time it has entered into an interest rate swap in order to ensure stable long-term borrowing costs from a fluctuation in the Euribor rate. Since the Company's loans are linked with the Euribor index, the maintenance of the latter at low levels has a direct positive impact on the financial cost of the Group.
The table below presents the sensitivity of the Earnings Before Tax of the Group and the Company if the interest rates change by a percentage point:
| Interest Rate Volatility | Impact on Company's EBT | Impact on Group's EBT | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01.07.2021 | 1,00% | -743.503 | -851.225 |
| 30.06.2022 | -1,00% | 743.503 | 851.225 |
| -579.160 | |||
| 30.06.2021 | -1,00% | 488.012 | 579.160 |
| 01.07.2020 | 1,00% | -488.012 |
The Group operates in Southeast Europe and as a result any change in the operating currencies of those countries towards other currencies exposes the Group to risk of exchange rate. The main currencies involved in the Group's transactions are Euro and Bulgarian Lev.
The Group's Management continuously monitors the foreign exchange risks that may arise and assesses the need for action, yet now there is no such risk since the exchange rate between the two currencies is stable from 1 January 1999 (BGN 1.95583 = EUR 1).
The Management of the Group takes all the necessary measures (insurance, storage) to minimize the risk and the contingent loss due to inventory loss from natural disasters, thefts, etc. Moreover, due to the inventory΄s high turnover ratio and the simultaneous inventory's long duration (expiry date), the risk of their obsolescence is very limited.
The Group is exposed to risk derived from the variation in prices of the used raw materials for its products. The fluctuation in prices of the raw materials during the recent years as well as the general economic crisis led us to the conclusion that this fluctuation will continue to exist. Therefore, exposure to that risk is considered high and for that reason the Group's Management takes all the necessary measures in order, firstly, to eliminate the Group's exposure to that risk through achieving special agreements with its suppliers and using derivative financial instruments and secondly, to quickly adjust its pricing and commercial policy.
Management has installed a reliable system of internal control to detect malfunctions and exceptions in its commercial operations. Property insurance and other risks are adequate.
The spreading of the new coronavirus "Covid-19" and its declaration by WHO in March 2020 as a pandemic as well as the imposition of emergency measures for its tackling by each government have negatively affected the global economy, Greece included.
Since the start of this crisis, the Group's priorities were the ensuring of its smooth business operation and the safety of its employees. To effectively face the impact of the pandemic and to ensure its proper functioning the Group: a) offered remote working (teleconferencing), b) suspended the business meetings in person and other business events c) restricted commuting and travelling and d) disinfected the working areas. Furthermore, the Group ensured the daily support and guidance of the employees in respect of their most effective adjustment to the new conditions, while also strengthening the National Health System through the donation of medical equipment to support the government's work in combating the pandemic.
The extent of the impact of the pandemic on the Group's activities in the coming period will largely depend on future developments and government measures. The possibility of adopting new more stringent restrictive measures on travel could adversely affect the financial performance of the Group, reducing turnover, temporarily limiting the collectability of receivables, and affecting the supply chain.
The management continuously monitors the developments, evaluates the risks, and takes the necessary actions to minimize the effects of the pandemic on the financial results of the Group, to continue the smooth implementation of the strategic plan - and to ensure the business continuity of the Group. Management believes that in any case, the pandemic, will not affect the continuation of the Company's and the Group's activity.
Regarding the current war situation in Ukraine, the group is not particularly exposed to Ukrainian and Russian markets. In particular, there is not any a) significant business discontinue due to interruption of the supply chain, closure/suspension of operations/construction or trade premises, travel restrictions b) confiscation/condemnation of assets from state authorities, c) unavailability of personnel, d) restrictions at cash balances, e) impairment of financial and non-financial assets (taking into account events and new information revealed after the reference date), f) significant decrease in sales, profit or/and cash flow from operating activities since the Group and the Company neither are particularly active in the affected from the war areas nor additional measures have been imposed that affect its activities.
Regarding cereal-purchase from those countries and especially from Russia, within the previous year it represented 17% of the value of the total cereal the Group milled. Following interruption of cereals exports from the infected countries the Group identified timely alternative supply solutions from the rest wheatproducing European countries.
For the time being, the potential impact on the sales, financial results and financial position of the Group cannot be evaluated since management is not yet able to predict the mid-term results of the current conflict.
Furthermore, Management monitors the developments and the impact of the continuously rising prices of raw materials and the increased energy cost to take the appropriate measures for the smooth continuation of operations of the Company and the Group.
The most crucial factor of the Group's success is its people. In particular, a strong family culture has been established which is based on the values of the Group and the mutual respect, trust, cooperation and team spirit. Through investing in the applied training methods, the Group intends to achieve a variety of business advantages such as increase in productivity, employees' satisfaction, involvement, and sustenance of the manpower as well as attracting young and qualified people. In the long term, maintaining the interest of the employees and the support provided for their development are crucial for the way the Group creates value. Discriminations are excluded from the Group's practices and human rights and equal opportunities are supported in every way according to the international standards.
Our key priority and vision are to create, develop, evolve, and take care of the leading team.
Within Loulis Group, the protection of the employees and all of those involved in the Group's chain value represent an integral part of the Group's policy, philosophy, work, and daily life.

Namely the Group:
According to the ESMA/2015/1415en Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures (APMs) of the European Securities and Markets Authority, an Alternative Performance Measure (APM) is a financial measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position, or cash flows, which is not defined or provided in the current Financial Reporting Framework (IFRS). APMs typically arise from or are based on financial statements prepared in accordance with the current Financial Reporting Framework (IFRS), primarily with the addition or deduction of amounts from the figures presented in the financial statements.
The Group uses to a limited extent Alternative Performance Measures (APMs) when publishing its financial performance, to better understand the Group's operating results and financial position.

The Board of Directors
To the Board of Directors of the Company "LOULIS FOOD INGREDIENTS S.A."
We have reviewed the accompanying interim condensed separate and consolidated statement of financial position of LOULIS FOOD INGREDIENTS S.A., as of June 30, 2022 and the related condensed separate and consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month period then ended, as well as the selected explanatory notes that comprise the interim condensed financial information, which is an integral part of the six-month financial report as provided by Law. 3556/2007.
Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and applied to interim Financial Reporting (International Accounting Standard "IAS" 34). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim condensed financial information, based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with the 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, mainly 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 Standards on Auditing, as incorporated into 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. Consequently, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on the review conducted, 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.
Our review has not revealed any material inconsistency or misstatement in the statements of the members of the Board of Directors and the information of the six-month Board of Directors Report, as defined in articles 5 and 5a of Law 3556/2007, in relation to the accompanying interim condensed financial information.

The Company and the Group examines the impact of the new standards and amendments on its financial statements. It is not expected that those amendments mandatorily effective in subsequent periods will have a significant impact on the financial statements of the Company and the Group
The Group consistently applies the following accounting principles in the preparation of the attached Financial Statements:
The Group's subsidiaries are legal entities on which the Group has the ability to set the operational and financial policies, by participating directly or indirectly in their share capital with a voting right over 50%.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date that control is transferred to the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date that this control no longer exists. The accounting method of the acquisition is used for the accounting entries of the subsidiaries' acquisition by the Group. The acquisition cost is calculated as the sum of the present value of the acquired assets, the issued shares and the existing or undertaken liabilities plus any costs that are directly related to the acquisition, during the transaction date.
The acquired assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are initially measured at their present value upon the cost acquisition date and the present value of the acquired subsidiary's equity is recorded as goodwill.
The intragroup transactions, the account balances and the profits realized that arose from transactions between the companies of the Group are deleted. The losses realized are deleted but are considered as an impairment indicator for the transferred asset.
The Financial Statements of the Group's subsidiaries are presented in the local currency of the country where they operate. The consolidated Financial Statements are presented in euro, which is the operating currency and reference currency for the Company and the Group.
Transactions in foreign currency are translated to the operating currency using exchange rates in effect during the date of the transactions. Profit and losses from foreign exchange difference, which arise from the settlement of such transactions during the period and from the conversion of monetary items expressed in foreign currency are registered in the results.
The operating results and the equity of all the companies of the Group (excluding those companies operating in hyper inflationary economies) of which operating currency is different than the reference currency of the Group, are translated into the reference currency of the Group as follows:
Goodwill arisen from merge/acquisition of companies initially is recognized at cost, which is the excess amount of the merge cost, over the Group's proportion in the fair value of the acquired net assets.
Following the initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment loss. The Group conducts impairment tests annually. Impairment loss recorded for goodwill is not reversible in subsequent periods.
Intangible assets acquired separately are presented at historical cost. Intangible assets acquired as part of business combinations are recognized at their fair value at the acquisition date.
After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Internally generated intangible assets, other than capitalized development costs, are not capitalized and expenses are recognized in the income statement in the period in which they are incurred.
Software programs and the relative licenses that are separately acquired are capitalized based on the costs incurred for the acquisition and installation of that software when they are expected to generate financial benefits for the Group beyond an economic year. Expenditure incurred for the maintenance of software programs is recognized as an expense when incurred.
Land-plots and buildings that mainly consist of industrial sites are presented in the financial statements at fair value, based on the evaluation of external independent expert, minus the subsequent accumulated depreciation amount.
Depreciation of tangible fixed assets is calculated on a straight-line basis in order to allocate the cost or the fair value of the asset onto their estimated useful lives.
The useful economic lives are as follows:
| years | |
|---|---|
| Buildings | 25-40 |
| Facilities and machinery | 20-35 |
| Vehicles | 5–9 |
| Other equipment | 1-10 |
The residual values and useful lives are subject to reassessment at each Balance Sheet date, if necessary.
Expenses for repairs and maintenance for the fixed assets are charged to the income account statement within the period incurred. The cost of significant renovations and other subsequent expenses is included in the value of the fixed asset if the possible future financial benefits that shall arise for the Group are higher than those originally expected regarding the initial performance of that fixed asset. Significant renovations are depreciated during the remaining useful life of the relevant fixed asset.
Profit and loss from fixed assets disposals are determined by comparing the cash collections with the book value and is charged in the P&L account.
Investment Property is held to generate rental income or profit from their resale. Property used for the operating activities of the Group is not considered to be investment property but operating property. This is also the criteria that differentiates investment property from operating property.
Investment Property as non-current assets is presented at fair value, which is determined in-house annually, based upon similar transactions that have taken place close to the Balance Sheet date. Any change in fair value which represents the free-market value is charged in the other operating income account of the income statement.
Following their initial recording, the investment in property is recorded at fair value.
Inventories are valuated at the lowest price between acquisition cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories is defined using the weighted average method. The cost price of finished products and semi-finished inventories includes raw materials, direct labour costs, as well as direct expenses and other general expenses related to the production excluding the borrowing cost. Net realizable value is the estimated sale price, during the normal course of the company's activities, minus the estimated cost necessary for the sale.
Financial assets are classified at initial recognition and subsequently measured at amortized cost, at fair value through other comprehensive income and fair value through profit or loss.
The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the contractual characteristics of the cash flows of the financial asset and the business model of the Group for their management. Apart from trade receivables that do not contain a significant financial component, the Group initially measure financial assets at their fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not valued through profit or loss, transaction costs. Receivables from customers that do not have a significant financial component are valued at the transaction price determined in accordance with IFRS 15.
For a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortized cost or at fair value through total income, cash flows that are "exclusive capital and interest payments (SPPIs)" of the original capital must be obtained.
The Group's business model for managing financial assets refers to the way in which it manages its financial capabilities to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows arise from the collection of contractual cash flows, the sale of financial assets, or both.
The purchase or sale of financial assets that require the delivery of assets within a timeframe specified by a regulation or a contract on the market is recognized on the trade date meaning on the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset.
For later measurement purposes, financial assets are classified in the following categories:
(b) Financial assets at amortized cost
(c) Financial assets measured at fair value through comprehensive income without recycling of
Financial assets valued at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading, financial assets designated at initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss, or financial assets that are required to be measured at fair value. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for sale or repurchase soon. Derivatives, including embedded derivatives, are also classified as held for trading, unless defined as effective hedging instruments. Financial assets with cash flows that are not only capital and interest payments are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss, irrespective of the business model.
The Group values its financial assets at amortized cost if both of the following conditions are met:
a) The financial asset is maintained in a business model for the purpose of holding financial assets for the collection of contractual cash flows and b) the contractual clauses of the financial asset create on certain dates cash flows that constitute only payments of capital and interest on the balance of the initial capital.
Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized, modified, or impaired.
Upon initial recognition, the Company and the Group may choose to irrevocably classify its equity investments as equity instruments at fair value through total income when they meet the definition of equity in accordance with IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation and not held for trading purposes. Classification is determined by financial instrument.
Profits and losses from these financial assets are never recycled to profits or losses. Dividends are recognized in the income statement when the payment entitlement has been established, unless the Company benefits from such income as a recovery of part of the cost of the financial asset, so that the gains are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income. Equity instruments measured at fair value through total income are not subject to an impairment test.
A financial asset is derecognized primarily when:
When the Group has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from an asset or have entered into a transfer agreement, they assess whether and to what extent they own the risks and rewards of ownership.
When the Group has not transferred or hold substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset and have not transferred ownership of the asset, they continue to recognize the transferred asset to the extent of its continued involvement. In this case, the Group also recognize any relevant obligation. The transferred asset and the related liability are valued based on the rights and obligations that the Group hold.
Further disclosures about impairment of financial assets are also provided in the following notes:
Receivables from customers are recognized when there is an unconditional right to receive the consideration for the client's contractual obligations to the entity. A contract asset is recognized when the Group has satisfied its obligations to the customer before the customer pays or before the payment is due, for example when the goods or services are transferred to the customer prior to the Group's right to issue an invoice. Receivables from customers on credit are initially recognized at their fair value, which corresponds to the nominal value, net of impairment losses.
Regarding non-doubtful trade receivables, the Group applies the simplified approach of IFRS 9 and calculates the expected credit losses over the life of the receivables. For this purpose, the Group uses a maturity forecast table based on the historical data for credit losses, adjusted for future factors in relation to borrowers and the economic environment. The bad debts are evaluated one by one for the calculation of the relevant provision. The amount of the provision is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.
For the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in hand and deposits in the bank net of bank overdrafts. In the balance sheet, bank overdrafts are included in the borrowings and in the short-term liabilities.
Expenses incurred for the issuance of shares are presented after the deduction of the relevant income tax decreasing the product of the issuance. Expenses related to the issuance of shares for the acquisition of companies are included in the cost of acquisition of the acquired entities.
Loans are recognized at the initial granted amount net of any financial cost. Any difference arisen between the received amount (net of relevant expenses) and the repayment value is recognized in the results during the borrowing term according to the actual interest rate method.
Leases (operating and financial) are recognized in the Statement of Financial Position as a right to use an asset and a lease obligation on the date that the leased asset becomes available for use except for:
The lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of leases which were not paid at the commencement of lease. They are discounted with the implied lease rate or, if this rate cannot be determined from the agreement, via the interbank rate (IBR). The latter is defined as the cost which the lessor would have to pay to borrow the necessary capital and then purchase an asset of similar value with the leased asset in a similar financial environment and with similar terms and conditions.
The lease liabilities include the net present value of the following:
The utilization rights relating to assets are initially being measured at cost and then are reduced by the amount of the cumulative amortization and impairment. Finally, they are adjusted after certain re-measurements of the respective lease liability take place.
The initial measurement of the utilization rights for assets consists of the following:
Each lease payment is allocated between the lease liability and the interest expense, which is charged against results throughout the entire leasing period, so that a fixed interest rate is achieved regarding the balance of the financial liability in each period. The utilization right relating to an asset is amortized at the shortest period between the economic life of the asset and the term of its leasing, based on the straight-line method.
Lease liabilities are remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate or when there is a change in the assessment of the term of any lease.
Short-term employee benefits (other than termination benefits) in cash and in kind are recognized as an expense when they accrue. Any unpaid amount is recognized as a liability, and if the amount already paid exceeds the
amount of benefits, the enterprise recognizes the excess amount as an asset (prepaid expense) only to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or on return.
Post-employment benefits include lump sum indemnities, pensions, or other benefits which the company offers after the termination of employment to the employees as acknowledgement of their services. Thus, they include both defined contribution schemes as well as defined benefits schemes. The accrued cost of the defined contributions scheme is registered as an expense in the relative period. Post-employment benefits, adopted by the Group, are partly funded through payments to insurance companies or state social insurance institutions.
Defined benefits plans are relating to contributions to Insurance Carriers (e.g., Social Security), so the Group does not have any legal obligation if the State Fund is unable to pay a pension to the insured. The employer's obligation is limited to the payment of employer contributions to the insurance companies or state social insurance institutions. The payable contribution from the Group to a defined contribution scheme, is recognized as liability, after deduction of the paid contribution whereas accrued contributions are recognized as an expense in the financial results.
According to L.2112/2020 and 4093/2012 the Group is obliged to compensate its employees in case of retirement or dismissal. The amount of the compensation paid depends on the years of service, the level of wages and the removal from service (dismissal or retirement). The entitlement to participate in these programs is based on the last 16 years of service of the employee until retirement following the scale of Law 4093/2012. The liability that is reported in the Statement of Financial Position is the present value of the liability for the defined benefit with the deduction of the fair value plan assets (reserve of payments to the insurance company) and the resulting change from any actuarial gain or losses and the past service cost. The commitment of the defined benefit is calculated annually by an independent actuary with the use of the Projected Unit Credit Method. Based on of the Projected Unit Credit Method the cost of retirement benefit is calculated as the actuarial present value at the valuation date that the employee shall receive based on the projected benefit and years of past service to the company until that date. The benefit is calculated based on projected salary at the age of retirement. A defined benefit plan defines obligations for benefits based on various assumptions such as age, years of past service and wage. The provisions for the period are included in personnel cost (consolidated and company's financial statements) and consist of current and past service cost, the relative financial cost, actuarial gains or losses and any possible additional charges. Regarding unrecognized actuarial gains or losses, the revised IAS 19R is followed, which includes a number of changes in accounting for defined benefit plans, including:
The Group recognizes state grants that cumulatively meet the following criteria: (a) there is presumed certainty that the company has complied or will comply with the grant terms and (b) it is probable that the amount of the grant will be recovered. They are recorded at fair value and are recognized in a systematic way in the revenue, based on the principle of the correlation of the grants with the corresponding costs they are subsidizing. Grants relating to assets are included in long-term liabilities as deferred income (deferred income) and are recognized as revenue over the useful life of the fixed asset.
Under IFRS 15, an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The standard also defines the accounting for the additional costs of taking out a contract and the direct costs required to complete the contract.
Revenue should be recognized at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to the customers, except for amounts collected on behalf of third parties (value added tax, other sales tax). Variable amounts are included in the consideration and are estimated using either the expected value method, or the "most likely amount" method.
An entity recognizes revenue when (or as) meets the obligation to execute a contract by transferring the goods or services promised to the customer. The customer acquires control of the good or service if he can direct the use and derive virtually all the economic benefits from that good or service. Control is passed over a period or at a specific time.
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when the control of the good is transferred to the customer, usually upon delivery, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the acceptance of the good by the customer.
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 conventional asset is recognized when the Group and the Company have satisfied its obligations to the customer before the customer pays or before the payment is due, for example when the goods or services are transferred to the customer prior to the Group's right to invoicing.
The contractual obligation is recognized when the Group receives a consideration from the customer (prepayment) or when it retains 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 contractual obligation is de-recognized when the contractual obligations are executed, and the income is recorded in the income statement.
The recognition of income by category is as follows:
The income tax of the Group's subsidiaries and associates is calculated in accordance with the relevant legislation applied at the Balance Sheet date within the countries they operate, and the taxable income arises. The Management periodically examines the tax calculations and, in cases where the relevant tax legislation is subject to different interpretations, forms a relevant provision for the additional amount expected to be paid to the local tax authorities.
Deferred income tax is determined using the liability method that results from the temporary differences between the carrying amount and the tax base of assets and liabilities. Deferred income tax is not calculated if it arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that, when the transaction took place, did not affect either the accounting or tax profit or loss.
Deferred tax is determined using the tax rates that are expected to apply during the period in which the receivable or liability will be settled, considering the tax rates (and tax laws) that have been applied at the
balance sheet date Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that a future taxable profit is to arise for the use of the temporary difference that creates the deferred tax asset.
Deferred income tax is recognized for the temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries and associates, unless the reversal of temporary differences is controlled by the Group, and it is probable that temporary differences will not reverse in the near future.
Provisions are booked when the Group has a present, legal, or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably measured.
Contingent liabilities are not recorded in the financial statements but are disclosed.
Dividend distribution to shareholders of the parent from the period's profit, are recognized as a liability in the consolidated Financial Statements on the date when the distribution is approved by the General Shareholders' Meeting.
Related party disclosures are covered by IAS 24 which refers to transactions of an entity that prepares Financial Statements with its related parties. Its primary element is the economic substance and not the legal type of the transactions.
The preparation of the financial statements requires estimates and assumptions made by Management that affect the disclosures in the Financial Statements. Management continuously assesses these estimates and assumptions. Estimates and judgments are continuously evaluated and are based on empirical data and other factors, including expectations for future events that are expected under reasonable conditions. Estimates and assumptions are the basis for making decisions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. The resulting accounting estimates, by definition, will rarely match exactly with the corresponding actual results. Estimates and assumptions that entail a material risk of causing material changes in the amounts of receivables and payables in the following year are set out below.
The Group assesses whether there is impairment of goodwill at least on an annual basis. Therefore, it is necessary to estimate the value in use of each cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated. Estimated value in use requires the Group to estimate the future cash flows of the cash-generating units and to select the appropriate discount rate, based on which the present value of the future cash flows will be determined.
Tangible assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. The actual useful life of fixed assets is valued on an annual basis and may vary due to various factors.
Some of the assets and liabilities that are included in the Financial Statements of the Group require their measurement at fair value, and/or the publication of this fair value. The Group measures the Tangible Fixed Assets and Real Estate to be invested at fair value. The fair value is determined by approved appraiser. These estimates are also being re-evaluated shortly due to the pandemic crisis.
he main assumptions of the Group regarding right of use assets concern the identification of lease agreements within certain transactions, the terms of lease-contract renewal and the determination of the discount rate.
The management makes the necessary estimates for the calculation of the net realizable value including the maturity of inventories, their movement through use as well as future selling plans. The management makes estimates for the calculation of any provision for impairment of inventories at each reporting date.
The Group applies the simplified approach of IFRS 9 for the calculation of expected credit losses, according to which the provision for impairment is always measured at the amount of the expected credit losses over the life of the receivables from customers. At each balance sheet date, the historical percentages used, and the estimates of the future financial situation are updated. The correlation between the historical data, the future financial situation and the expected credit losses includes significant estimates. The amount of expected credit losses depends to a large extent on the changes in the conditions and forecasts of the future financial situation.
The valuation of derivative financial instruments is based on market positions at the balance sheet date. The value of the derivatives changes daily and the actuarial amounts may differ significantly from their value at the balance sheet date.
Liabilities for employees' compensation are calculated using actuarial methods that require Management to assess specific criteria such as future employee salary increases, the discount rate for these liabilities, employee retirement rates, etc. Management tries at each reporting date when this provision is revised, to assess the criteria as effectively as possible.
Management's significant estimates are required to determine the amount of deferred tax liability that may be recognized based on the probable period and amount of future taxable profits combined with the entity's tax planning.
Group's companies are subject to different income tax laws. In determining the Group's income tax estimation, a significant subjective judgment is required. During the normal course of business, many transactions and calculations are made for which the exact tax calculation is uncertain. In the case that the final taxes arising after the tax audits are different from the amounts initially recorded, such differences will affect income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period that the determination of tax differences has occurred.
The existence of contingent liabilities requires the Management to continuously make assumptions and judgments regarding the probability that future events will occur or not, and the effect that these events may have on the Group's operation.
The use of the weighted average number of shares represents the likelihood of changing the amount of the share capital during the year due to the larger or smaller number of shares that remain in circulation at each time. Judgment is required to determine the number of shares and the time of their issuance. The calculation of the weighted average number of shares affects the calculation of basic and adjusted earnings per share.
Information regarding the assessment of the impact of "Covid-19" pandemic is provided in the Annual Management Report of the Board of Directors, Chapter E "Main Risks and Uncertainties for the Second Half of 2022".

The Company's Financial Instruments consist of Receivables from Customers and Short-term Liabilities with annual maturity and therefore their book value can be considered as reasonable. Regarding the Long-Term Loans, the Company's weighted average cost of capital is very close to the borrowing rate and thus the book value of the item is very close to the fair value. The fair value of the rest Financial Assets and Liabilities is close to their book value.
Regarding the receivables, the Company does not have significant credit risk concentration. A Credit Control system is in place to manage this risk more efficiently and to assess and classify customers according to the level of risk and, where appropriate provisions have been made for impaired receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risk on the Balance Sheet date is the fair value of each class of financial instrument, as shown in the table below:

The Group and the Company use the following allocation to determine and disclose the fair value of receivables and liabilities per valuation method:
Level 1: based on the negotiable (unadjusted) prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities.
Level 2: based on the valuation methods, in which all data with a significant effect on fair value are either directly or indirectly observable and includes valuation methods with negotiable prices in less active markets for similar or less similar assets or liabilities.
Level 3: based on valuation methods using data that have a significant effect on fair value and are not based on apparent market data.
The table below presents the allocation of the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the Group and the Company.
| Group | Company | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30.06.2022 | 31.12.2021 | 30.06.2022 | 31.12.2021 | Fair Value Hierarchy | |

| Financial Receivables | 699.593 | 513.392 | 554.654 | 348.201 | Level 2 |
During the year there were no transfers between the allocation levels.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate fair values:
The fair value of the Level 2 Land, Buildings and Investment Properties is valued for the Group and the Company by independent external expert using a combination of a) Comparative Method, b) Residual Approach and c) Depreciated Replacement Cost.
The Group and the Company use various methods and assumptions based on market conditions prevailing at each reporting date.
The Company is exposed to financial risks such as exchange risk, interest rates risk, credit risk and liquidity risk arising from its activities and operation. The Company's policy aims to minimize the impact of those risks when they may arise. The Company uses financial instruments such as long-term and short-term loans, foreign currency transactions, trade receivables accounts, accounts payable, liabilities arising from financial leasing agreements, dividends payable, bank deposits and investments in securities.
Risk management is performed by the Financial Department. However, the BoD of the Company is fully responsible for setting the strategy, performing the overall planning and determining the risk management policies.
The Group does not have a significant concentration of credit risk in any of its contracting parties, mainly due to the large number of customers and the great dispersion of the Group's customer base.
The Management of the Group has adopted and applies credit control procedures to minimize its doubtful receivables through the evaluation of the credit ability of its customers and the effective management of the receivables before they become overdue. For the monitoring of credit risk, customers are classified according to their credit profile, the maturity of their receivables and the historical background of their collection. Additionally, the Group's companies have an insurance contract that covers most of their claims. This contract cannot be sold or transferred. Customers considered to be unreliable are reevaluated at every reporting date and when a likelihood of non-recovery of these receivables occurs, a provision for doubtful debts is formed.
The Group keeps its liquidity risk at low levels through the availability of adequate cash or/and approved bank credit limits ensuring the fulfillment of the Group's short-term financial liabilities. The Group's liquidity ratio (current assets to current liabilities) amounted to 2,81 at June 30, 2022 towards 3,12 at June 30, 2021. For the monitoring and management of liquidity risk the Group forms cash flow projections on a regular basis.
The Group is exposed to risk derived from the variation in prices of the used raw materials for its products. The fluctuation in prices of the raw materials during the recent years as well as the general economic crisis led us to the conclusion that this fluctuation will continue to exist. Therefore, exposure to that risk is considered high and for that reason the Group's Management takes all the necessary measures in order, firstly, to eliminate the Group's exposure to that risk through achieving special agreements with its suppliers and using derivative financial instruments and secondly, to timely adjust its pricing and commercial policy.
The Group's exposure to the risk of changes in the interest rates relates to its short-term and long-term loans. The Group manages Interest Rate Risk through keeping the total of its loans at variable interest rates. Since
the Company's loans are linked with the Euribor index, the maintenance of the latter at low levels has a direct positive impact on the financial cost of the Group.
The table below presents the sensitivity of the Earnings Before Tax of the Group and the Company if the interest rates change by a percentage point:
| Interest Rate Volatility | Impact on Company's EBT | Impact on Group's EBT | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01.07.2021 | 1,00% | -743.503 | -851.225 |
| 30.06.2022 | -1,00% | 743.503 | 851.225 |
| 01.07.2020 | 1,00% | -488.012 | -579.160 |
| 30.06.2021 | -1,00% | 488.012 | 579.160 |
The Group operates in Southeast Europe and as a result any change in the operating currencies of those countries towards other currencies exposes the Group to risk of exchange rate. The main currencies involved in the Group's transactions are Euro and Bulgarian Lev.
The Group's Management continuously monitors the foreign exchange risks that may arise and assesses the need for action, yet at the moment there is no such risk since the exchange rate between the two currencies is stable from 1 January 1999 (BGN 1,95583 = EUR 1).
The Management of the Company has adopted a reliable internal control system for the detection of dysfunctions and exceptions within its business activities. The insurance coverage of the property and of other risks is adequate.
The Company's shares are common and listed on the Athens Stock Exchange's market bearing the symbol LOULI .
The share capital of the Company at 30.06.2022 amounted to € 16.093.063,20 divided into 17.120.280 common registered shares of a par value of € 0,94 each.

According to Law 4799/2021 the Corporate Income Tax of Legal Entities in Greece has been decreased from 24% to 22% from the year 2021 onwards.
The Corporate Income Tax Rate of Legal Entities in Bulgaria has been set to 10%, while in Cyprus it has been set to 12,5%.
Investments in fixed assets for the first half of 2022 amounted to € 2.563 thousand for the Group € 1.898 thousand for the Company.
The Group's contingent liabilities relate to the Banks, other guarantees and other issues arising from the Group's usual operations and they are not expected to have significant additional burden to the Group. In addition, the Company has provided guarantees for the loans of its subsidiaries.
On May 11, 2017, the Group's subsidiary "LOULIS MEL-BULGARIA EAD" came to an agreement with the company "National Company Industrial Zones", which is under the supervision of the Ministry of Finance of Bulgaria for the planning, development and management of the free industrial areas of the country in order to acquire a plot of land in the industrial zone of Bozhurishte in Sofia, Bulgaria in order to make a similar investment until November 9, 2021. The subsidiary of the Group on April 12, 2021 began the construction of a cereal silo with a capacity of 7.000 tons in the aforementioned plot, with the cost of the investment having been budgeted at € 2,8 million. The Group's subsidiary expects to complete the above investment on time in accordance with the terms of the contract and according to the applicable law. The Group's management estimates that there will be no additional obligations to the Bulgarian state in the future because of this case.
Within 2020, the company "KENFOOD TROFOGNOSIA SA" which was merged by absorption by the Group's subsidiary "KENFOOD SA" in accordance with the notarial deed of repetition and correction No 1.106/10-09- 2018 has been officially served with an audit mandate by the competent Greek tax authorities for the years 2015-2016. The audit is still in progress and is expected to be completed by the end of 2022. Management estimates that the audit will not have a material impact on the Financial Statements.
For the fiscal years 2011 up to 2015 the Greek Public Limited companies (SA) whose Financial Statements were mandatorily audited by a Certified Auditor, were subject to tax audit by the same Auditor or audit firm who audited their annual Financial Statements and received "Tax Compliance Certification" according to par.5, art.82 of L.2238/1994 and art.65A of L.4174/2013. For the fiscal years 2016 and onwards the tax audit and the provision of the "Tax Compliance Certification" is optional. The Group has chosen to continue being tax audited by the Auditors, which is now optional for the Group's most significant subsidiaries. It is noted that in application of relevant tax provisions on December 31, 2021, the years up to 2015 are considered written off.
The parent company and its subsidiary "KENFOOD SA" have been subjected to the tax auditing from Certified Auditors and have received "Tax Compliance Certification" for the years until 31.12.2020
For the fiscal year 2021, the parent Company and the subsidiary of KENFOOD SA have been subjected to tax auditing from an auditor in accordance with Law 4174/2013 article 65A as currently in effect. That audit for the year 2021 is in progress and the related tax certificate is expected to be provided after the publication of the Interim Financial Statements of the first half of 2022. If upon completion of the tax audit additional tax liabilities occur, we consider that they will not have substantial impact on the Financial Statements.
Considering the above, the table of note 6.2 "Group structure" shows the years for which the tax obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries have not characterized as final.
