On the financial figures presented above we hereby note the following:

1. Turnover (Sales)

In principle, the turnover increase or decrease of oil refining and trading companies is mainly a combination of the following factors:

  • a) Volume of Sales
  • b) Crude Oil and Petroleum Product Prices, and
  • c) Euro / US Dollar parity.

The industrial activity (refining) concerns sales of products produced in the refinery of the parent company while the trading activity concerns sales generated as a result of imports of finished products from the international market and their subsequent resale to customers in the domestic market and abroad. The Group has the flexibility to take full advantage of the favorable market conditions in the oil sector, whenever these arise, and it is in a position to respond to any exceptional or unpredictable conditions meeting the demand in the domestic and the international market with imports of products.

The breakdown of Group turnover by geographical market (Domestic – Foreign) and type of activity (Refining – Trading) as well as sales category in Metric Tons–Euros is presented hereunder:

Total Sales 14,932,198 14,141,288 5.59% 7,843,482 6,356,855 23.39%

In the fiscal 2017 the turnover of the Group increased in value by Euro 1,486.6 million or 23.39% compared to the previous fiscal year. The increase of the turnover of the Group is attributed to the rise of the average prices of petroleum products (denominated in US Dollars) by approximately 29.5% combined with the 5.59% higher sales volume generated (from MT 14,141,288 in 2016 to ΜΤ 14,932,198 in 2017). Part of the increase of the turnover of the Group was offset by the small depreciation of the US Dollar against the Euro (average parity) by 2.06%.

Both in the fiscal 2017 and the fiscal 2016 the Group had revenues for services (storage fees) rendered by "OFC AVIATION FUEL SERVICES S.A.".

The breakdown of the consolidated sales volume confirms the solid exporting profile of the Group considering that export and bunkering sales combined accounted for 78.65% of the aggregate sales volume of fiscal 2017 compared to 74.16% in the fiscal 2016, as well as the high contribution of refining activities (86.86% of the aggregate sales volume of fiscal 2017 compared to 81.30% in fiscal 2016).

The respective breakdown of Company turnover is presented hereunder:

In the fiscal 2017 the turnover of the Company reached Euro 5,739.4 million from Euro 4,511.9 million in 2016 which represents an increase of 27.20%. This development of the turnover of the Company is attributed to the impact of the same parameters which influenced the development of the turnover at Group level and which have already been mentioned.

The breakdown of the Company sales volume confirms the solid exporting profile of the Refinery considering that export and bunkering sales combined accounted for 82.28 % of the aggregate sales volume of the fiscal 2017 compared to 77.85% in the fiscal 2016, as well as the high contribution of refining activities (92.37% of the aggregate sales volume of the fiscal 2017 compared to 86.86% in the fiscal 2016).

The international average prices of petroleum products (in US Dollars per Metric Ton) and the international average prices of the various types of crude (in US Dollars per barrel) during the period 2016 – 2017 are presented hereunder:

Other 198,283 112,601
Total 13,544,749 12,066,177

It is apparent that the difference between the refinery processed volume and the refinery production volume concerns fuel consumption and loss. The lower production of the Refinery and the lower volume of crude oil and other raw materials processed by the Company in the fiscal 2016 is attributed to the programmed turnaround of the Refinery process units executed in June 2016.

2. Cost of Sales (before Depreciation) – Gross Profit

The Gross Profit (before depreciation) at Group level reached Euro 899,506 thousand in the fiscal 2017 compared to Euro 804,255 thousand in the previous fiscal year denoting an increase of 11.84%.

The breakdown of the Cost of Sales at consolidated level per type of activity (refining–trading–services) is presented hereunder:

Amounts in thousand Euros 2017 2016
Refining 4,666,041 3,398,557
Trading 2,273,187 2,149,572
Services 4,747 4,471
Total Cost of Sales (before depreciation) 6,943,975 5,552,600

The Gross Profit (before depreciation) at Company level reached Euro 625,774 thousand in the fiscal 2017 compared to Euro 540,465 thousand in the previous fiscal year denoting an increase of 15.78%.

It should be noted that the Gross Profit of the Company increased further in the fiscal 2017 subsequent to its substantial increase in the fiscal 2016 impacted positively by the higher refining margins (the table presents the development of the Company Profit Margin in USD per Metric Ton for the fiscal years 2017 and 2016) combined with the USD exchange rates (average Euro/USD parity 2017: 1.1297 – 2016: 1.1069).

Gross Profit Margin (US Dollars /
Metric Τon)
2017 2016
Company Blended Profit Margin 62.2 57.1

3. Operating Expenses (before depreciation) (Administrative and Selling)

In the fiscal 2017 the operating expenses (administrative and selling) at Group level increased by Euro 10,514 thousand or 4.08% while at Company level decreased by Euro 5,941 thousand or 8.45% compared to the fiscal 2016.

4. Other Operating Income (Expenses)

Other Operating Income (Expenses) is distinguished in two classes:

  • Foreign exchange gains or losses for the Group and the Company which relate to the net difference which evolves from receivables and payables denominated in foreign currency as well as bank deposits kept in foreign currency
  • Other operating revenue relating mainly to storage rentals from third parties as well as income from the usage of the Truck Loading Terminal of the Refinery. The Company has invested and continues to invest significant funds in the construction of storage tanks (please see section "Capital Expenditure").

In the fiscal 2017 the Group recorded foreign exchange losses Euro 44,749 thousand compared to foreign exchange gains Euro 21,942 thousand in the fiscal 2016.

Likewise, the Company recorded foreign exchange gains of Euro 42,760 thousand in 2017 compared to foreign exchange gains Euro 21,175 thousand in 2016.

This development, both at Group and at Parent Company level, is by and large attributed to the significant bank deposits kept in USD, considering that the EURO/ USD parity was 1.1993 on 31.12.2017 compared to 1.0541 on 31.12.2016.

As regards other operating revenue, apart from foreign exchange differences that is, at Group level it reached Euro 34,250 thousand in the fiscal 2017 compared to Euro 35,247 thousand in the fiscal 2016 while at Company level it reached Euro 32,882 thousand in the fiscal 2017 compared to Euro 31,516 thousand in the fiscal 2016.

5. Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA)

Subsequent to the above developments at Gross Margin level and at Operating Income & Expenses level, the EBITDA of the Group reached Euro 620,544 thousand in the fiscal 2017 from Euro 603,495 thousand in the fiscal 2016 (an increase of 2.83%) while the EBITDA of the Company reached Euro 551,536 thousand in the fiscal 2017 from Euro 522,854 thousand in the fiscal 2016 (an increase of 5.49%).

The noted in the fiscal 2017 reduction of interest expenses, both at consolidated and parent company level, is accounted for by: a) the refinancing of the Euro 350 million Senior Notes due 2019 at a coupon 5.125% with new Senior Notes due 2022 at a coupon 3.25% (issuer of the Notes: MOTOR OIL FINANCE PLC please see section "Group Structure"), b) the significant de-escalation of bank liabilities (Group bank debt 31.12.2017: Euro 994.1 million compared to 31.12.2016: Euro 1,183.8 million – Company bank debt 31.12.2017: Euro 667.4 million compared to 31.12.2016: Euro 857.3 million) and c) the improvement of the relevant terms, which the Group is in a position to attain.

The corporate tax rate for the fiscal years 2017 and 2016 is 29% pursuant to the Law 4334 of 2015 (Government Gazette A' 80/16.07.2015).

For the fiscal years 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 MOH group companies that were obliged to a tax compliance audit by the statutory auditors, have been audited by the appointed in accordance with the Codified Law 2190/1920 statutory auditors, as provided by article 82 of the Law 2238/1994 and article 65A of the Law 4174/13, who have issued the relevant Tax Compliance Certificates. In any case, and according to the Circular 1006/05.01.2016, these companies for which a Tax Compliance Certificate has been issued are not excluded from a further tax audit by the relevant tax authorities. Therefore, the tax authorities may perform a tax audit as well. However, the group's management believes that the outcome of such future audits, should these be performed, will not have a material impact on the financial position of the Group or the Company. Up to the date of approval of these financial statements, the group companies' tax audit by the statutory auditors for the fiscal year 2017 is in progress. No material liabilities are expected to arise from this tax audit.

ΙΙΙ. PROSPECTS

The profitability of the companies engaging in the sector of "oil refining and marketing of petroleum products" is by and large dependent on the volume of sales as well as on the refining margins and the Euro – US Dollar parity. The last two parameters are formed, to a great extent, at international level and hence it is practically impossible to make secure estimates regarding their future development.

With reference to the volume of sales the domestic demand figures per product category (in thousand Metric Tons) during the 2013-2017 period are presented hereunder:

Product Category 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017
Lubricants 112 90 82 79 98
Asphalt 126 159 154 190 145

Automotive Diesel 2,519 2,635 2,729 2,824 2,943
Bunker Gasoil 540 563 630 650 674
TOTAL 11,560 11,547 11,972 11,830 12,397
% Variation over previous year -10.7% -0.1% 3.7% -1.2% 4.8%

From the data presented above it is concluded that after the 10.7% drop in the year 2013, the domestic market stabilized in the year 2014 and subsequently grew in the years 2015 and 2017 to exceed the MT 12 million mark for the first time since the year 2012 when consumption of petroleum products reached MT 12,939 thousands.

The aggregate decrease of petroleum products consumption of the domestic market during the five year period 2012 – 2017 was 4.2%. The year 2017 increase is by and large accounted for by the increased freight or cargo traffic which led to increased consumption of bunker fuel oil.

Throughout the five year period it is noted a continued increase of demand for jet and for bunker gasoil, attributed to the increased number of tourist arrivals, and also a continued increase of LPG demand, which is accounted for by the use of autogas as alternative fuel for vehicles because of the increase of the Special Consumption Tax applied on gasoline prices (please see below).

Change in Excise Tax and V.A.T. over time

The reduction of the consumption of gasoline started in the year 2010 following the increase of the Special Consumption Tax and continues up until today because of the reduction of the disposable income combined with the increased number of diesel engine new car registrations. The increase in the number of diesel engine car registrations was the result of the reduction of the Special Consumption Tax which took effect in 2012 in conjunction with the decision by the Greek Government to lift the prohibition regarding the circulation of diesel engine cars in Athens and Thessaloniki which are the most populated cities in Greece. In the years 2015, 2016 and 2017 the increase of the volume of automotive diesel consumption exceeded the reduction of the volume of gasoline consumption.

Turning to Heating Gasoil the Special Consumption Tax was increased in 2012 leading to a sizable decrease in consumption as households turned to alterative means for heating. In October 2014 the Special Consumption Tax was reduced, a fact which contributed to a moderate increase of consumption in the year 2014 (the increase of consumption is attributed mostly to the increased sales effected in the October – December 2014 period) and a notable increase of consumption in the year 2015 (the consumption data concern the full winter season that is the January – April 2015 & October – December 2015 periods). In the year 2016 the consumption of Heating Gasoil lowered again due to the higher price of the end product from October 2016 onwards following the increase of the Special Consumption Tax combined with the increase of the V.A.T. rate. Heating Gasoil consumption fell slightly in 2017 due to mild weather conditions.

The decline of the market share of MOTOR OIL after the year 2014 is mainly accounted for by the gradually declining fuel oil sales to "PUBLIC POWER CORPORATION S.A." which zeroed in the year 2017. Furthermore, aviation fuel sales are effected by the Company only on an occasional basis. The above explain the lower domestic sales volume generated by the Company over the last three years, given its business decision to focus on sales related to the retail sector of petroleum products.

Taking advantage of its exporting orientation, MOTOR OIL managed to fully offset the reduction of its domestic sales volume by generating combined volume of product sales (domestic, exports) amounting to 13,830 thousand Metric tons in 2017 which is a historic high for the Company exceeding significantly the annual production capacity of its Refinery.

It is hereby noted that, as a representative of the energy sector, the Company is treated with priority by the Banking Transactions Approval Committee of the Greek Ministry of Economy regarding the purchase of crude oil and of raw materials from abroad so as to secure the sufficiency of the Country with reference to petroleum products. Moreover, through its exports which historically constitute the majority of its sales, the Company is in a position to finance the purchases of crude oil further securing the continuous supply of its Refinery with raw material, without being affected by the capital controls imposed in Greece.

The development of the blended profit margin of the Company in US Dollars per Metric Ton for the fiscal years 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 is presented next.

Gross Profit Margin (US Dollars / Metric Τon) 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017
Company
Blended
Profit Margin
29.0 20.6 52.7 57.1 62.2

The primary objectives of the Company for the following years are, firstly, to keep delivering healthy profit margins at the top end of the sector on the back of the higher contribution of the industrial activity utilizing the production flexibility of its technologically advanced Refinery, and, secondly, to further enhance its presence in the retail sector of petroleum products on the back of the quality networks of AVIN, CORAL & CYCLON.

Lastly, as regards the development of Euro – US Dollar parity it is noted that the Company follows a physical hedging policy (reference is made in the section "foreign currency risk").

ΙV. CAPITAL EXPENDITURE

In fiscal 2017 the investments of the Company totaled Euro 68 million. This amount includes the Euro 15 million amount spent for the acquisition of the storage installations of REVOIL S.A. located in Northern Greece.

Consequently, the year 2017 capital expenditure of the Company reached Euro 53 million and concerned the MOTOR OIL Refinery as follows:

a) An amount of Euro 24 million was spent on regular maintenance at the existing Refinery units and on a series of miscellaneous small scale projects relating to the improvement of health and safety conditions of the Refinery, the improvement of its environmental terms as well as the attainment of high level of operability and flexibility of production.

b) The balance of Euro 28 million was spent on the so-called major investment projects the most notable ones being: the processing capacity increase of the Lubricants Complex (Euro 6.5 million capex in 2017), the Jet production increase from the Hydrocracker (Euro 2.5 million capex in 2017), the construction of new storage tanks at the area freed as a result of placing the overhead Independent Power Transmission Operator (ADMIE) high voltage lines underground (Euro 6.2 million capex in 2017), and the enhancement of energy efficiency of the Refinery (i.e. Power Plant upgrade and GT-3 major field inspection, Euro 3 million capex in 2017).

For the fiscal 2018 the investment program of the Company will put the emphasis on the following fields: Refinery Quality Production Optimization mainly through the Lubes Vacuum Distillation Unit revamping –Refinery Safety and Reliability Enhancement through the FCC Regenerator & Reactor Revamping – Logistics chain Improvement through the construction of six (6) new storage tanks.

VΙΙ. SIGNIFICANT POST BALANCE SHEET EVENTS

During the period from 1 January 2018 up to the date of these financial statements the Company has paid part of its debt of approx. € 103 million.

Besides the above, there are no events that could have a material impact on the Group's and Company's financial structure or operations that have occurred since 1/1/2018 up to the date of issue of these financial statements.

VΙΙΙ. MAJOR SOURCES OF UNCERTAINTY WITH REGARD TO ACCOUNTING ASSESSMENTS

The preparation of the financial statements presumes that various estimations and assumptions are made by the Group's management which possibly affect the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the required disclosures for contingent assets and liabilities as well as the amounts of income and expenses recognized. The use of adequate information and the subjective judgment used are basic for the estimates made for the valuation of assets, liabilities derived from employees benefit plans, impairment of receivables, unaudited tax years and pending legal cases. The estimations are important but not restrictive. The actual future events may differ than the above estimations. The major sources of

uncertainty in accounting estimations by the Group's management, concern mainly the legal cases and the financial years not audited by the tax authorities, as described in detail in note 30 of the financial statements.

Other sources of uncertainty relate to the assumptions made by the management regarding the employee benefit plans such as payroll increase, remaining years to retirement, inflation rates etc. and other sources of uncertainty is the estimation for the useful life of fixed assets. The above estimations and assumptions are based on the up to date experience of the management and are revaluated so as to be up to date with the current market conditions.

IΧ. MANAGEMENT OF FINANCIAL RISKS

The Group's management has assessed the impacts on the management of financial risks that may arise due to the challenges of the general business environment in Greece. In general, as it is further discussed in the management of each financial risk below, the management of the Group does not consider that any negative developments in the Greek economy in connection with the capital controls of the Greek banks may materially affect the normal course of business of the Group and the Company.

a. Capital risk management

The Group manages its capital to ensure that Group companies will be able to continue as a going concern while maximizing the return to stakeholders through the optimization of the debt and equity balance. The capital structure of the Group consists of debt, which includes borrowings, cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to equity holders of the parent, comprising issued capital, reserves and retained earnings. The Group's management monitors the capital structure on a frequent basis.

As a part of this monitoring, the management reviews the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. The Group's intention is to balance its overall capital structure through the payment of dividends, as well as the issue of new debt or the redemption of existing debt. The Group through its 100% subsidiary "Motor Oil Finance plc" that is based in London, has already issued, since 2014, bond loans through the offering of Senior Notes bearing a fixed rate coupon and also maintains access at the international money markets broadening materially its financing alternatives. A possible exit of Great Britain from EU (Brexit) is not expected to have any impact in this subsidiary or in the Group.

Gearing Ratio

The Group's management reviews the capital structure on a frequent basis. As part of this review, the cost of capital is calculated and the risks associated with each class of capital are assessed.

GROUP COMPANY
(In 000's Euros) 31/12/2017 31/12/2016 31/12/2017 31/12/2016
Bank loans 994,065 1,183,838 667,375 857,329
Cash and cash equivalents (714,026) (800,285) (638,815) (688,735)
Net debt 280,039 383,553 28,560 168,594
Equity 1,018,883 824,060 881,837 706,675
Net debt to equity ratio 0.27 0.47 0.03 0.24

The gearing ratio at the year end was as follows:

b. Financial risk management

The Group's Treasury department provides services to the business, co-ordinates access to domestic and international financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Group. These risks include market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group does not enter into or trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes. The Treasury department reports on a frequent basis to the Group's management that monitors risks and policies implemented to mitigate risk exposures

c. Market risk

Due to the nature of its activities, the Group is exposed primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (see (d) below), interest rates (see (e) below) and to the volatility of oil prices mainly due to the obligation to maintain certain level of inventories. The Company, in order to avoid significant fluctuations in the inventories valuation is trying, as a policy, to keep the inventories at the lowest possible levels. Furthermore, any change in the pertaining refinery margin, denominated in USD, affects the Company's gross margin. There has been no change to the Group's exposure to market risks or the manner in which it manages and measures these risks. Considering the conditions in the oil refining and trading sector, as well as the negative economic environment in general, we consider the course of the Group and the Company as satisfactory. Through its Middle East based 100% subsidiary, the Group aims to exploit its endeavors at international level and to further strengthen its already solid exporting orientation. Moreover, the instability in the domestic market, in connection with the capital controls, is not expected to create problems to the normal course of business of the Company, which due to its strong exporting orientation generates adequate cash flows to cover the necessary imports of crude oil for the refinery activities. Furthermore, crude oil prices are determined in the international markets and are not affected so by any domestic market turbulences.

d. Foreign currency risk

Due to the use of the international Platt's prices in USD for oil purchases/sales, exposures to exchange rate fluctuations may arise for the Company's profit margins. The Company minimises foreign currency risks through physical hedging, mostly by monitoring assets and liabilities in foreign currencies.

e. Interest rate risk

The Group has access to various major domestic and international financial markets and manages to have borrowings with competitive interest rates and terms. Hence, the operating expenses and cash flows from financing activities are not materially affected by interest rate fluctuations.

Had the current interest rates been 50 basis points higher/lower, all other variables kept constant, the Group's profit for the year ended 31 December 2017 could have decreased/increased by approximately € 5.5 million.

f. Credit risk

The Group's credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade and other receivables.

The Group's trade receivables are characterized by a high degree of concentration, due to a limited number of customers comprising the clientele of the parent Company. Most of the customers are international well-known oil companies. Consequently, the credit risk is limited to a great extent. The Group companies have signed contracts with their clients, based on the course of the international oil prices. In addition, the Group, as a policy, obtains letters of guarantee from its clients in order to secure its receivables, which as at 31/12/2017 amounted to Euro 33.9 mil. As far as receivables of the subsidiaries "Avin Oil S.A.", "CORAL A.E.", "CORAL GAS A.E.B.E.Y." and "L.P.C. S.A." are concerned, these are spread in a wide range of customers and consequently there is no material concentration and the credit risk is limited. The Group manages its domestic credit policy in a way to limit accordingly the credit days granted in the local market, in order to minimise any probable domestic credit risk.

g. Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is managed through the proper combination of cash and cash equivalents and the bank loan facilities granted, when needed. In order to address such risks, the Group's management monitors the balance of cash and cash equivalents and ensures available bank loans facilities, maintaining also increased cash balances. Moreover, the major part of the Group's borrowings is long term borrowings which facilitates liquidity management.

Going Concern

The Group's management considers that the Company and the Group have adequate resources that ensure the smooth continuance of the business of the Company and the Group as a "Going Concern" in the foreseeable future.

Χ. QUALITY - ENVIRONMENT – HEALTH & SAFETY – LABOUR MATTERS

The commitment of the Group to the fulfilment of its main goal, which includes its engagement in the wider energy sector catering for the needs of the society while contributing to the economic and community prosperity, respecting the principles of Sustainable Development and minimizing the impact on the environment resulting from its operations, is reflected by its Policy on Quality, Environmental Protection and Health & Safety.

From the beginning of its operation, MOTOR OIL has focused its efforts on the production of high quality products which meet the most stringent standards. The aim of the Company is to fulfill the needs of its customers delivering reliable and quality products through the universal motivation of its management which at the same time acts proactively handling any potential problems before the incidents occur.

In 1992 the Company, for the reasons mentioned, initiated action to develop a Quality Assurance System covering all its activities meeting the requirements of the ISO 9002 standard. In December 1993 the system was certified by Bureau Veritas Certification (BV Cert.). Since then, the Quality System has become an integral part of the operations of MOTOR OIL.

In January 2003 MOTOR OIL was accredited by Bureau Veritas Certification (BV Cert.) according to the requirements of the (at the time) new standard ISO 9001:2000 for its Quality Management System. In November 2009 the system was certified according to the new version of the standard ISO 9001:2008 with validity until February 2012 when its certification was renewed with validity until February 2015. In December 2014, within the context of the simultaneous evaluation of Company certifications, the ISO 9001:2008 standard was recertified with validity until December 2017.

In December 2017 the Quality Management System of the Company was certified with the currently most recent standard ISO 9001:2015 with validity until December 2020.

The commitment of the management of the Company as well as its personnel to the continuous development of quality is universal. Within the context of this commitment, the Refinery Chemical Laboratory was accredited by the National Accreditation System (ESYD) with the ISO / IEC 17025 standard in September 2006 and validity until September 2010. Since then, the validity of the accreditation was extended until September 2014 when it was extended once more until September 2018.

The adoption of methods and procedures that protect the environment comprise top priority for MOTOR OIL. The Refinery operation conforms to the environmental terms set by the Ministry of Environment Urban Planning & Public Works and the Ministry of Development for the granting of operation license. Furthermore, the Refinery operation is fully harmonized with the most stringent international standards for environmental protection adopting the most advanced processing methods causing the minimum environmental harm possible. The Refinery Environmental Management System (EMS) was certified by Bureau Veritas Certification (BV Cert.) according to the ISO 14001:1996 initially in December 2000 and since 2004 according to the more stringent standard ISO 14001:2004. Following the EMS recertification in January 2013, the validity of the certificate was extended until January 2016. In December 2014, within the context of the simultaneous evaluation of Company certifications already mentioned, the Company EMS was recertified with validity until December 2017.

In December 2017 the Environment Management System of the Company was certified with the currently most recent standard ISO 14001:2015 with validity until December 2020.

Additionally, in November 2017 the Refinery Energy Management System of the Company was certified by Bureau Veritas Certification (B V Cert.) according to the ISO 50001:2011 standard with validity until November 2020.

By implementing this system MOTOR OIL is committed to effectively use energy so as to preserve natural resources, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to abate the repercussions on climate change. Energy consumption data are utilized in a systematic way, planning changes in the operation and the equipment as a means to achieve continuous improvement of the energy performance and the relative economic indicators.

Furthermore, since July 2007 and given the commitment of the Company to continuous improvement of environmental management and dissemination of information regarding the impact of its operations on the environment, MOTOR OIL has voluntarily and beyond any legal obligation adopted the European Regulation (ER) 761/2001 EMAS (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme) verified by Bureau Veritas and proceeded with the issuance of an annual Environmental Statement. The annual Environmental Statements for the fiscal years 2006 – 2009 were compiled based on the EMAS II 761/2001 regulation while those for the fiscal years 2010 – 2016 were compiled based on the more recent EMAS III 1221/2009 regulation. The annual Environmental Statements EMAS which through appropriate indices and measurements and other nonfinancial data and indices pertaining to the refining sector offer a thorough assessment of the environmental performance of the Refinery as well a detailed description of the Emergency Plans set out by the Company, their effectiveness is displayed by the absence of environmental incidents / accidents, are available in electronic form through the Company's website www.moh.gr at the particular option Environment & Society / Environment and Sustainable Development / EMAS Environmental Statements and in print form through the Integrated Management Systems Section of the Refinery. MOTOR OIL is registered in the European System of Eco-Management and Audit Scheme while its Refinery is registered in the Hellenic Register of EMAS Registered Organizations.

The triple combination of certifications, ISO 14001:2004 & EMAS (for the environment) and ISO 9001:2008 (for quality), is of the utmost importance and is only met in a handful of European refineries such high degree of complexity as that of the Refinery of MOTOR OIL.

MOTOR OIL has been committed to incorporate the Health and Safety requirements in its planning, decision making and Refinery operation always considering all Stakeholders.

Within the context of this commitment the Health & Safety Management of the Refinery was revised thoroughly and was certified by Bureau Veritas Certification (BV Cert.) according to the international standard OHSAS 18001:2007 in December 2008. This certification initially had a three year validity. In December 2011 the OHSAS 18001:2007 was recertified with validity until December 2014 when it was recertified with validity until December 2017.

In December 2017 the validity of the OHSAS 18001:2007 certificate of the Company was extended until December 2020.

Moreover, in November 2017 the Management System for Private Security operations of the Refinery of the Company was certified by Bureau Veritas Certification (B V Cert.) according to the standard ISO 18788:2015 with validity until November 2020.

This standard sets the requirements and provides the guidelines for organizations conducting or contracting security operations. It stipulates a business and risk management framework for the effective conduct of security operations. The purpose is to improve and demonstrate consistent and predictable security operations maintaining the safety and security within a framework that aims to safeguard the respect for human rights, national and international laws and fundamental freedoms. This presupposes the utilisation of tactics, techniques, procedures, training and equipment in such a way so as to attain the operational as well as the risk management objectives.

Personnel relations are at a particularly good level. The Company not only complies with the legal requirements, relating to worker participation and the protection of human rights, but also aims to cultivate mutual trust and co-operation. It operates a progressive system of human resources management policies, which enshrines clarity and fairness in matters of recruitment, transfers, promotion, remuneration, education and training, benefits, holidays and other types of leave of absence. The terms and conditions of employment are covered by a collective labor agreement approved by the Ministry of Labor. Refinery employees are unionized, the Union being a signatory to a collective labor

agreement with the Federation of Greek Industries since 1986. In 2006 the Company and the Union of Refinery Employees jointly established a supplementary operational employment contractual agreement which they renew each year.

The approach of the Company to a salary policy is to set, manage and review salary levels in a consistent, transparent and objective way. The Company offers competitive and performance-linked remuneration packages.

Besides the basic pay and benefits package, the Company provides to its employees and their families a wide range of discretionary non-wage benefits. These benefits aim to cater for the employees' welfare and insurance beyond the requirements set out by the Law, to strengthen their bonds with the Company, to cultivate cooperation and team spirit, and to assist them to achieve a healthy work/life balance. Among the benefits introduced on the Company's initiative are:

  • o A life insurance and hospital care program for the employees and their dependant family members.
  • o A pension scheme.

It is recognized that in such a globalised and highly specialized sector as the one of oil refining and trading, the growth prospects of the Company and the implementation of its business policy are closely related with the development of the skills and abilities of its employees. To this end, providing training to personnel with regard to aspects of professional skills and personal development is a matter of paramount importance for which the Company allocates significant resources both in terms of money and time. The Company training policy aims to ensure that the educational background and personal skills of each employee suit the requirements of his/her job position the ultimate objective being to provide continuous, responsible, flexible and complete professional training.

Each year MOTOR OIL compiles a Sustainability Report which describes in detail, through representative to the refining sector indices and measurements and other nonfinancial data, all activities of the Group relating to its commitment to the Environment, Health & Safety and Employees. These Sustainability Reports also provide an analysis regarding the allocation of the Social Product among selected stakeholder groups: Personnel, State, Shareholders, Banks, Suppliers (not including suppliers of crude oil, other raw materials and finished products), Society at large (donations and sponsorships) as well as expenditure for Health & Safety and the Environment, insurance premium for Company installations and premises, repairs and preventive maintenance. The Sustainability Reports are available in electronic form through the Company website www.moh.gr at the particular option Environment & Society / Sustainability Reports and in print form through the Communication, Corporate Affairs and SCR Section.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT (LAW 4403 / 2016)

The present statement that has been compiled according to the provisions of the Law 4403/2016 (Government Gazette Α' 125/7.7.2016) forms part of the Report of the Board of Directors of the year 2017 of "MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) S.A." as a separate section of it and it is available through the Company's website, www.moh.gr.

Part of the information included in the topics that follow is included in the Report of the Board of Directors and the Notes of the year 2017 Financial Statements of "MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) S.A.".

a) The legal framework governing the operation of "MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) S.A." and defining its obligations as a company having its registered address in Greece is comprised by Law 2190/1920 on "Societés Anonymes" as this Law is in force following its occasional amendments. Apart from Law 2190/1920, issues such as the objectives of the Company, its corporate goals, its duration, the responsibilities of the Board of Directors and of the General Assemblies, the appointment of Certified Auditors, the liquidation and dissolution of the Company are set at its "Company Memorandum & Articles of Association", available on its website. As a Company the shares of which are listed on the Athens Stock Exchange, "MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) S.A." is under additional obligations pertaining to the specific areas of corporate governance, dissemination of information to the investment community and the supervisory authorities, the publication of financial statements etc. The fundamental law that stipulates and imposes the additional obligations is the Law 3016/2002 (Government Gazette Α' 110/17.5.2002), a copy of which is also available on the Company website. Moreover, the Athens Stock Exchange Regulation, available on the website of Hellenic Exchanges Group www.helex.gr, clearly sets forth the obligations of listed companies in conformity to the decisions of the Board of Directors of the Athens Stock Exchange. Furthermore, the introduction of Law 3693/2008 (Government Gazette Α' 174/25.08.2008) made mandatory for all listed companies the establishment of an Audit Committee. Lastly, the relatively recent Law 4449/2017 (Government Gazette A' 7/24.01.2017) brought significant changes strongly in favor of an upgrade of the role and the status of the Audit Committee the duties and responsibilities of which have been greatly enhanced.

The Board of Directors of "MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) S.A." compiled, customized and approved the Corporate Governance Code (CGC) of the Company on March 31st , 2011. This deadline was set by the Hellenic Capital Market Commission with a relevant recommendation sent to all companies with shares listed on the Athens Stock Exchange. Since then, following amendments of the Company Memorandum & Articles of Association as well as additional changes relating to the organization chart of the Company, the composition of its Board, and the Regulatory framework governing the behavior of the listed companies, the initial CGC has been revised five times. The Board approval dates of the revised CGC were August 1st, 2011, January 25th, 2012, January 30th, 2015, January 25th, 2016 and January 29th, 2018 respectively. All versions of the Corporate Governance Code of the Company have been submitted to the Hellenic Capital Market Commission. The present Corporate Governance Code of the Company with the indication "January 2018" is available through the Company's website at the particular option "About MOH / Corporate Governance".

b) No practices additional to those provided by the law are applied as the Board of "MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) S.A." deems the existing institutional and regulatory framework in place in our country as fully adequate. It must be stressed that the Company fulfilled requirements introduced by the Law 3016/2002 prior to the listing of its shares on the Athens Stock Exchange, such as, indicatively and not exhaustively, the Internal Audit Department (in operation since 1990) as well as the Audit and Remuneration Committees (since 1996). In addition, the balance between executive and non-executive members of the Board of Directors in the case of "MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) S.A." existed before the Law 3016/2002 took effect. Each section of "MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) S.A." Corporate Governance Code (for example: Board of Directors, Remuneration Policy, General Meetings etc.) apart from general reference to the institutional, regulatory and legal framework governing the operation of the Company, offers a brief description of the "best practices of corporate governance" followed by the Company on a timely basis.

c) With reference to the way of function of the Internal Control and Risk Management – ICRM – Systems of the Company in relation to the process of preparation of Company financial statements, it is hereby mentioned that the reporting system of "MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) S.A." utilizes a professional and highly advanced software for reporting to the top management of the Company and to external users. Comprehensive Income and Financial Position Statements along with other relevant analyses are reported to top management on a monthly basis and are prepared on a stand alone and consolidated basis for management and statutory reporting purposes in accordance to IFRS and the pertaining regulations on a quarterly basis. Both management and statutory reporting include all the necessary information pertinent to an up-to-date controlling system, including sales, costs, operating profit and other details. All management reports include current period data which are compared to the budget that was approved by the BoD and to the Previous Year comparative reporting period. All the statutory interim and year end reporting financial statements are prepared in accordance to IFRS, include all the necessary financial information and disclosures according to IFRS, are respectively reviewed by the Audit Committee and duly approved by the BoD as a whole.

d) The total number of shares issued by "MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) S.A." are 110,782,980 with a nominal value of Euro 0.75 per share. All shares are common registered shares and besides these no other securities exist, embodying rights to Company control. Each share embodies the right of one vote in the General Assemblies (see next section "ee"). The major shareholder of the Company is the entity under the legal name "Petroventure Holdings Limited" which holds 40.00% of the voting rights of "MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) S.A.". The holding company under the legal name "Motor Oil Holdings Ltd" is the controlling shareholder of "Petroventure Holdings Limited". "Motor Oil Holdings Ltd" directly holds 1.53% of the voting rights of MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) S.A. (based on Share Register data as of December 31st, 2017). Consequently, "Motor Oil Holdings Ltd" controls on aggregate (directly and indirectly) 41.53% of the voting rights of MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) S.A. The Company shares are traded on the Athens Stock Exchange and there are no restrictions to their transferability, there are no shareholders with special control rights nor are there any restrictions on voting rights. Furthermore, there are no agreements according to the

provisions of article 11a of Law 3371/2005, cases (i) and (j), (i.e., material agreements put in force, revised or terminated in case of change in the control of the Company as a result of a public offer as well as agreements with BoD members or Company personnel that provide for compensation in case of retirement without material reason or termination of their term or employment as a result of public offer). Furthermore, it is noted that the BoD or its members have no authority on matters of share capital increase, issuance of new shares or purchase of treasury shares. The authority on the above mentioned matters lies with the General Assembly of the Shareholders of "MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) S.A.". Amending the Company Memorandum and Articles of Association of "MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) S.A." requires a 2/3 quorum of the paid up share capital of the Company and a decision supported by a 2/3 majority of the present or represented shareholders.

The General Assembly Meetings of the Shareholders of "MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) S.A." are convened in accordance with the provisions of Law 3884/2010 (Government Gazette Α' 168/24.9.2010). As standard practice the notice to the shareholders is released earlier than the 20 day deadline prior to the General Assembly meeting stipulated by the Codified Law 2190/1920 while the article 39 excerpts on minority rights (paragraphs 2, 2a, 4 and 5 of the Codified Law 2190/1920), the comments of the Board of Directors on the items on the agenda, the forms – of – proxy for representation at the General Assembly and the number of Company shares with the corresponding number of voting rights are available on the Company website. Due to the absence of a relevant provision in the Company Memorandum & Articles of Association, electronic or remote participation and voting at the General Assembly or a possible Repeat Assembly is not feasible. By the same token, due to lack of any relevant provision in the Company Memorandum & Articles of Association, the Company does not accept electronic acknowledgments of appointments of shareholder representatives and their revocations. According to article 23 of the Company Memorandum & Articles of Association, the General Assembly of the shareholders is the supreme authority of the Company and is entitled to deliberate on any Company affair or matter. Moreover, the same article provides that the General Assembly is the only authoritative body entitled to deliberate on issues such as, indicatively and not exhaustively, amendments to the Company Memorandum & Articles of Association, election of new BoD members, any increase or decrease of the Company share capital, appointment of Certified Auditors, approval of annual financial statements and distribution of Company earnings, issue of bonds and bond loans1 . In as much as the General Assembly is convened in conformity to the provisions of Company Memorandum & Articles of Association, its decisions are binding on all shareholders, including those absent and those dissenting. The General Assembly of Company Shareholders convenes regularly once for every fiscal year until the tenth (10th) calendar day of the ninth month following the end of the fiscal year at the latest (Law 4403/2016) and extraordinarily whenever the BoD deems necessary. Shareholders may participate in the General Assembly meeting either in person or through a representative, provided the relevant transcripts are submitted to the Company at the latest three (3) days prior to the General Assembly meeting. Shareholders who do not send to the Company the relevant documents within the above deadline participate in the General Assembly only by the latter's permission. Participation in the General Assembly meeting does not require the prior blocking of shares.

1 According to article 7 of the Codified Memorandum & Articles of Association of the Company, in cases of common bond loans the responsibility may rest and on the Board of Directors provided the decision is taken with a majority of at least two thirds (2/3) of its total number of its members

Shareholder status is verified through a relevant certificate issued by "Hellenic Central Securities Depository - HCSD." and by means of the electronic file listing all shareholders entitled to participate and vote at the General Assembly meeting which "MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) S.A." receives from "HCSD". The General Assembly is at a quorum and lawfully transacts its business on the issues on the agenda insofar as those present or represented at the meeting comprise at least 1/5 of the paid up share capital of the Company. If such a quorum is not attained, a Repeat meeting is convened within twenty days that is considered at quorum and lawfully transacts its business on the issues of the original attendance regardless of the percentage of attendees. Decisions on the items of the agenda require simple majority of those shareholders present or represented. According to article 29 of the Company Memorandum & Articles of Association, for decisions involving 1) change of nationality, 2) change of business activity, 3) increase in shareholder obligations, 4) increase of Company share capital, 5) decrease of Company share capital, 6) issuance of a convertible bond loan, 7) change in earnings distribution policy, 8) merger / split / extension of lifetime / dissolution of the Company, 9) amendment of the Company Memorandum & Articles of Association, the Assembly convenes lawfully insofar as present or represented in it are shareholders representing 2/3 of Company paid up share capital. In case such a quorum is not attained, a first Repeat General Assembly meeting is called that is considered being at quorum if at least 50% of the Company paid up share capital is represented in it. If neither this quorum is attained, a second Repeat General Assembly meeting is called that is considered being at quorum if at least 20% of Company paid up share capital is represented in it. Voting at General Assembly meetings takes place in an open/overt manner; nevertheless the General Assembly may opt for a secret vote prior to voting on any particular issue. Each share carries the right to one vote. The General Assembly makes its decisions on the basis of absolute majority of present and represented shareholders. Specifically on issues requiring increased quorum, the General Assembly decides on the basis of 2/3 majority of present and represented shareholders.

e) The Board of Directors is the Company's highest governing body, and, according to article 14 of its Company Memorandum & Articles of Association, may consist of eight (8) up to twelve (12) members elected by the General Assembly of Company shareholders for a one – year term. Members of the Board of Directors may be shareholders or not, as well as "MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) S.A." executives. BoD members may be re-elected indefinitely without limitation and may be freely recalled. Immediately following its election by the General Assembly, the Board of Directors organizes as a Body Corporate and appoints its Chairman, up to two (2) Vice-Chairmen and the Managing Director. The Chairman of the Board of Directors presides over the meetings and, in case he is absent or cannot attend he is substituted by one of the Vice-Chairmen; in case both Vice-Chairmen are absent or cannot attend they are substituted by any member appointed by the BoD. The Chairman, the Vice-Chairmen and the Managing Director may always be re-elected. The Board of Directors holds a meeting whenever the law, the Company Memorandum & Articles of Association and the Company requirements dictate so and is considered to be at quorum and lawfully conducts its business when half the number plus one of its members are present or represented, but the number of present members can never be less than three. The decisions of the Board of Directors are taken on the basis of simple majority of the present and represented members.

Each member is entitled to one vote while the Chairman or any person acting as Chairman has no decisive vote at any meeting of the Board of Directors.

According to Article 20 of the Company's Memorandum & Articles of Association of "MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) S.A.", the Board of Directors is entitled to deliberate on any affair, matter, deed or action pertaining to the administration of the Company in general or to the management of Company property, to represent the Company in all its relations and transactions with third parties and to take any action that enhances its goals, including the granting to third parties of Company guarantees on behalf of affiliated or related companies, with the exception of only those matters that, according to the provisions of the Law or the Company Memorandum & Articles of Association, fall within the jurisdiction of the General Assembly. The responsibility of the Directors regarding the management of "MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) S.A." is limited to carrying out their duties and terminates each year following approval of the Company financial statements by the General Assembly and their subsequent discharge from any liability for damages in connection with the financial statements.

Νotes to the Financial Statements

1. General Information

The parent company of the MOTOR OIL Group (the Group) is the entity under the trade name "Motor Oil (Hellas) Corinth Refineries S.A." (the Company), which is registered in Greece as a public company (Societe Anonyme) according to the provisions of Company Law 2190/1920, with headquarters in Maroussi of Attica, 12Α Irodou Attikou street, 151 24. The Group operates in the oil sector with its main activities being oil refining and oil products trading.

Major shareholders of the Company are "Petroventure Holdings Limited" holding 40% and "Doson Investments Company" holding 5,9%.

These financial statements are presented in Euro because that is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group operates. Amounts in these financial statements are expressed in € 000's unless otherwise indicated. Any difference up to €1,000 is due to rounding.

As at 31 December 2017 the number of employees, for the Group and the Company, was 2,189 and 1,257 respectively (31/12/2016: Group: 2,017 persons, Company: 1,190 persons).

2. Adoption of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs)

New standards, amendments of existing standards and interpretations: Specifically, new standards, amendment to existing standards and interpretations have been issued, which are obligatory for accounting periods beginning during the present fiscal year or at a future time, and have an impact in the Group's financial data. The Group's appraisal regarding the effects from adopting new standards, amendment to existing standards and interpretations is analyzed below.

New Standards and Amendments to Standards effective for periods beginning on or after January 1 st 2017

IAS 12 (Amendment) "Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised Losses''

Amends IAS 12 Income Taxes in order to clarify that unrealised losses on debt instruments measured at fair value and measured at cost for tax purposes give rise to a deductible temporary difference regardless of whether the debt instrument's holder expects to recover the carrying amount of the debt instrument by sale or by use. The carrying amount of an asset does not limit the estimation of probable future taxable profits and estimates for future taxable profits exclude tax deductions resulting from the reversal of deductible temporary differences.

An entity assesses a deferred tax asset in combination with other deferred tax assets. Where tax law restricts the utilisation of tax losses, an entity would assess a deferred tax asset in combination with other deferred tax assets of the same type. The amendment has been endorsed by the EU in November 2017 and is estimated that it will not have a significant impact in the Financial statements of the Group and the Company.

IAS 7 (Amendment) "Disclosure Initiative''

Amends IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows in order to clarify that entities shall provide disclosures that enable users of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities.

The amendment has been endorsed by the EU in November 2017 and is estimated that it will not have a significant impact in the Financial statements of the Group and the Company.

New Standards effective for periods beginning on or after January 1st 2018

IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers"

IFRS 15 provides a single, principles based five-step model to be applied to all contracts with customers. The five steps in the model are as follows: Identify the contract with the customer, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contracts, recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. Guidance is provided on topics such as the point in which revenue is recognised, accounting for variable consideration, costs of fulfilling and obtaining a contract and various related matters. New disclosures about revenue are also introduced. The standard has been endorsed by the European Union and is estimated that it will not have a significant impact in the Financial statements of the Group and the Company.

IFRS 15 (Amendment) "Revenue from Contracts with Customers"

Clarifications to IFRS 15 amend three areas and specifically regard changes that clarify the application of the concept of 'distinct' in the context of performance obligations identification, changes that clarify the application of the principal of 'control' in making the determination of whether an entity is acting as principal or agent and changes that assist in determining whether an entity's activities 'significantly affect' intellectual property during the period for which it has been licensed to a customer. The amendment has been endorsed by the EU in October 2017 and is estimated that it will not have a significant impact in the Financial statements of the Group and the Company.

IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments"

IFRS 9 is the first Phase of the Board's project to replace IAS 39 and deals with: the classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities, impairment of financial assets, hedge accounting, derecognition of financial assets and liabilities. The standard has been adopted by EU and it is initially estimated that during its first application will not have any material impact for the Company, while for the Group will result in an impact of approx. € 14 mil. The Group is in the process of finalization of this impact in the financial statements.

IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments: Hedge accounting and amendments to IFRS 9, IFRS7 and IAS 39"

The IASB has published IFRS 9 Hedge Accounting, the third phase of its replacement of IAS 39 which establishes a more principles based approach to hedge accounting and addresses inconsistencies and weaknesses in the current model in IAS 39. The second amendment requires changes in the fair value of an entity's debt attributable to changes in an entity's own credit risk to be recognised in other comprehensive income and the third amendment is the removal of the mandatory effective date of IFRS 9. These amendments have been endorsed by the EU and their estimated impact on the Financial statements of the Group and the Company is as above mentioned in IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments".

IFRS 4 (Amendment) "Applying IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments' with IFRS 4 'Insurance Contracts"

Amends IFRS 4 'Insurance Contracts' to provide two options for entities that issue insurance contracts within the scope of IFRS 4: a) an option that permits entities to reclassify, from profit or loss to other comprehensive income, some of the income or expenses arising from designated financial assets; this is the so-called overlay approach; b) an optional temporary exemption from applying IFRS 9 for entities whose predominant activity is issuing contracts within the scope of IFRS 4; this is the so-called deferral approach. Deferral approach effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 and only available for three years after that date. The application of both approaches is optional and an entity is permitted to stop applying them before the new insurance contracts standard

is applied. Overlay approach to be applied when IFRS 9 is first applied. The amendment is has been endorsed by the EU in November 2017 and is estimated that it will have no impact in the Financial statements of the Group and the Company.

IFRS 2 (Amendment) "Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions"

Amends IFRS 2 to clarify the classification and measurement of share-based payment transactions with respect to a) the accounting for cash-settled share-based payment transactions that include a performance condition; b) the classification of share-based payment transactions with net settlement features; and c) the accounting for modifications of share-based payment transactions from cash-settled to equity-settled. Not yet endorsed for use in the EU and is estimated that it will have no impact in the Financial statements of the Group and the Company.

IFRIC 22 "Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration"

The interpretation addresses foreign currency transactions or parts of transactions where i) there is consideration that is denominated or priced in a foreign currency; ii) the entity recognises a prepayment asset or a deferred income liability in respect of that consideration, in advance of the recognition of the related asset, expense or income; and iii) the prepayment asset or deferred income liability is non-monetary. The Interpretations Committee concluded that the date of the transaction, for the purpose of determining the exchange rate, is the date of initial recognition of the non-monetary prepayment asset or deferred income liability and in case there are multiple payments or receipts in advance, a date of transaction is established for each payment or receipt. The interpretation has not been adopted yet by EU and the Group will estimate any impact of this standard in the financial statements of the Company and the Group.

IAS 40 (Amendment) "Investment Property"- Transfers of Investment Property

Amends IAS 40 Investment Property to state in paragraph 57 that an entity shall transfer a property to, or from, investment property when, and only when, there is evidence of a change in use. A change of use occurs if property meets, or ceases to meet, the definition of investment property. A change in management's intentions for the use of a property by itself does not constitute evidence of a change in use. The list of examples of evidence in paragraph 57 (a) – (d) is now presented as a non-exhaustive list of examples instead of the previous exhaustive list. The standard is not yet endorsed for use in the EU and is estimated that it will not have a significant impact in the Financial statements of the Group and the Company.

New Standards effective for periods beginning on or after January 1st 2019

IFRS 16 "Leases''

IFRS 16 establishes principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases, with the objective of ensuring that lessees and lessors provide relevant information that faithfully represents those transactions. The standard provides a single lessee accounting model, requiring lessees to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases unless the lease term is 12 months or less or the underlying asset has a low value. Lessors continue to classify leases as operating or finance, with IFRS 16's approach to lessor accounting substantially unchanged from its predecessor, IAS 17. The standard has been endorsed by the EU in October 2017. The Group will assess the impact of the standard in the Financial statements of the Group and the Company.

IFRIC 23 "Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments"

The interpretation sets out how to determine taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments under IAS 12 Income Taxes. The Interpretation requires an entity to a) determine whether uncertain tax positions are assessed separately or as a group; and b) assess whether it is probable that a tax authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment used, or proposed to be used, by an entity in its income tax filings. If yes, the entity should determine its accounting tax position consistently with the tax treatment used or planned to be used in its income tax filings. If no, the entity should reflect the effect of uncertainty in determining its accounting tax position. The standard is not yet endorsed for use in the EU. The Group will assess the impact of the standard in the Financial statements of the Group and the Company.

IAS 28 (Amendment) "Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures"

The amendments clarify that an entity applies IFRS 9 Financial Instruments to long-term interests in an associate or joint venture that form part of the net investment in the associate or joint venture but to which the equity method is not applied. Detailed amendments to the initial IAS text are provided. Not yet endorsed for use in the EU. The Group will assess the impact of the standard in the Financial statements of the Group and the Company.

IFRS 9 (Amendment) "Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation"

The amendment addresses concerns about how IFRS 9 Financial Instruments classifies particular prepayable financial assets. Ιt amends the existing requirements in IFRS 9 regarding termination rights in order to allow measurement at amortised cost (or, depending on the business model, at fair value through other comprehensive income) even in the case of negative compensation payments. In addition, the IASB has clarified an aspect of the accounting for financial liabilities following a modification. It clarifies that an entity recognises any adjustment to the amortised cost of the financial liability arising from a modification or exchange in profit or loss at the date of the modification or exchange.The amendments are to be applied retrospectively for fiscal years beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The Group will assess the impact of the standard in the Financial statements of the Group and the Company.

IAS 19 (Amendment) "Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement"

The Amendments to IAS 19 clarify that in case a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement occurs, it is now mandatory that the current service cost and the net interest for the period after the remeasurement are determined using the assumptions used for the remeasurement. In addition Amendments have been included to clarify the effect of a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement on the requirements regarding the asset ceiling.

The amendment has not yet been endorsed by the European Union.

Amendments to standards being part of the annual improvement program of 2017 of the IASB (International Accounting Standards Board) 2015 – 2017 Cycle.

The following amendments describe the most important changes brought to the IFRS due to the results of the annual improvement program of the IASB published in December 2017. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the E.U.

IFRS 3 "Business Combinations" and IFRS 11 "Joint Arrangements"

The amendments to IFRS 3 clarify that when an entity obtains control of a business that is a joint operation, it remeasures previously held interests in that business. The amendments to IFRS 11 clarify that when an entity obtains joint control of a business that is a joint operation, the entity does not remeasure previously held interests in that business.

IAS 12 "Income Taxes"

The amendments clarify that all income tax consequences of dividends (i.e. distribution of profits) should be recognised in profit or loss, regardless of how the tax arises.

IAS 23 "Borrowing Costs"

The amendments clarify that if any specific borrowing remains outstanding after the related asset is ready for its intended use or sale, that borrowing becomes part of the funds that an entity borrows generally when calculating the capitalisation rate on general borrowings.

New Standards effective for periods beginning on or after January 1st 2021

IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts"

IFRS 17 requires insurance liabilities to be measured at a current fulfillment value and provides a more uniform measurement and presentation approach for all insurance contracts. These requirements are designed to achieve the goal of a consistent, principle-based accounting for insurance contracts. IFRS 17 supersedes IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts as of 1 January 2021. The standard is not yet endorsed for use in the EU and is estimated that it will have no impact in the Financial statements of the Group and the Company.

3. Significant Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies adopted which are consistent with those of the prior year are set out below:

3.1. Basis of Accounting

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) which are effective at the date of preparing these financial statements as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and adopted by the European Union (EU).

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.

3.2. Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and the entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries) at the end of each respective year. Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an investee entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

On acquisition, the assets and liabilities and contingent liabilities of a subsidiary are measured at their fair values at the date of acquisition. Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired is recognized as goodwill. Any deficiency of the cost of acquisition below the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired (i.e. discount on acquisition) is credited to profit and loss in the year of acquisition.

The accounting policies of the subsidiaries are in line with those used by the parent Company.

All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.

3.3. Investments in Associates

An associate is an entity over which the Group is in a position to exercise significant influence, but not control or joint control, through participation in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee. The results, assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in these financial statements using the equity method of accounting unless these investments are classified as available for sale. Investments in associates are carried in the Statement of Financial Position at cost as adjusted by post-acquisition changes in the Group's share of the net assets of the associate, less any impairment in the value of individual investments. Losses of the associates in excess of the Group's interest in those associates are not recognized.

Profits or losses arising on transactions among associates and companies included in the consolidated accounts are eliminated to the extent of the Group's share in the associates. Losses may be an indication of impairment of the asset, in which case a relevant provision is accounted for.

Investments in subsidiaries and associates are stated in the Company's stand alone Statement of Financial Position at cost and are subject to impairment testing.

3.4. Revenue Recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts, VAT and sales related taxes.

The Group recognizes within the current year results the sales of goods at the time that the risks and rewards associated to the ownership of these goods are transferred to the client.

Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset's net carrying amount.

Dividend income from investments is recognized when the shareholders' rights to receive payment have been established.

3.5. The Group as lessor

Rental income from operating leases is recognized in accordance with the lease agreements as it is considered a more representative method of recognizing the respective income.

The subsidiaries "AVIN OIL S.A.", "CORAL Α.Ε." and "CORAL GAS A.E.B.E.Y.", lease under long-term operating leases (approx. at least 9 years), immovable property for use as gas stations, which in turn are subleased to physical/legal persons for a corresponding period for the operation of fuel and lubricants stations under the "AVIN", "SHELL", "CYCLON", "CORAL" and "CORAL GAS" trademarks.

3.6. The Group as lessee

Assets held under finance leases are recognized as assets of the Group at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the Statement of Financial Position as a finance lease obligation.

Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged to profit or loss, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalized in accordance with the Group's general policy on borrowing costs (see below).

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to profit or loss and recognized in accordance with the lease agreements as it is considered a more representative method of recognizing the respective expense.

3.7. Foreign Currencies

In preparing the financial statements of the individual entities, transactions in currencies other than the entity's functional currency (foreign currencies) are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At each Statement of Financial Position date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the Statement of Financial Position date.

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the retranslation of monetary items, are included in profit or loss for the year.

3.8. Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.

All other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the year in which they are incurred.

3.9. Government Grants

Government grants towards staff re-training costs are recognized as income over the years necessary to match them with the related costs and are deducted from the related expense.

Government grants relating to property, plant and equipment are treated as deferred income and released to profit and loss over the expected useful lives of the assets concerned.

3.10. Retirement Benefit Costs

Payments to defined contribution retirement plans are charged as an expense as they fall due. Payments made to state-managed retirement benefit schemes are dealt with as payments to defined contribution plans where the Group's obligations under the plans are equivalent to those arising in a defined contribution retirement benefit plan.

For defined benefit retirement benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at each year end Statement of Financial Position. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized in Other Comprehensive income in the year in which they are incurred.

Past service cost is recognized immediately in the profit or loss to the extent that the benefits are already vested, and otherwise is amortised on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested.

The retirement benefit obligation recognized in the Statement of Financial Position represents the present value of the defined benefit obligation as reduced by the fair value of plan assets.

3.11. Taxation

The tax expense represents the sum of the current tax expense and deferred tax expense, plus any additional tax from the prior years' tax audit.

The current tax expense is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the Statement of Comprehensive Income because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group's current tax expense is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or will be enacted by the Statement of Financial Position date.

Deferred tax is recognized on differences, between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit and is accounted for using the Statement of Financial Position liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the tax profit nor the accounting profit. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, and interests in joint ventures, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each Statement of Financial Position date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the liability is settled or the asset is realized. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the Statement of Comprehensive Income, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

3.12. Goodwill

Goodwill arising on the acquisition of a subsidiary or a jointly controlled entity represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group's interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the subsidiary or jointly controlled entity recognized at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is initially recognized as an asset at cost and is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group's cash-generating units expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment at each Statement of Financial Position date, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount of the unit, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period.

On disposal of a subsidiary or a jointly controlled entity, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal.

3.13. Internally-generated Intangible Assets-Research and Development Expenditure

Expenditure on research activities is recognized as an expense in the year in which it is incurred.

An internally-generated intangible asset arising from the Group's development is recognized only if all of the following conditions are met:

  • an asset is created that can be identified (such as software and new processes);
  • it is probable that the asset created will generate future economic benefits; and
  • the development cost of the asset can be measured reliably.

Internally-generated intangible assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over their useful lives. Where no internally-generated intangible asset can be recognized, development expenditure is recognized as an expense in the year in which it is incurred.

Subsequent to initial recognition, internally-generated intangible assets are reported at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets acquired separately.

3.14. Other intangible assets

Other intangible assets include Group's software, the rights to operate gas stations on property leased by the subsidiaries "Avin Oil S.A.", "CORAL Α.Ε." and "CORAL GAS A.E.B.E.Y." the Company's emission rights and furthermore, Service Concession Arrangements for the subsidiary "OFC Aviation Fuel Services S.A.".

These assets are initially recorded at acquisition cost and then amortised, using the straight-line method, based on expected useful lives in respect of software, and in respect of leasing/emission rights, over the year the Group entitled to the rights.

The useful life of these assets is noted bellow:

Useful life
Intangible
assets
(years)
Software 3 –
8
Leasing Rights (average) 10
Service Concession Arrangements 21

Fixed assets of acquisition cost less than € 1,500 are fully depreciated in the year of their acquisition. The estimated useful lives of intangible assets, residual values if any and depreciation method are reviewed on a frequent basis, with the effect of any changes in estimate to be accounted for on a prospective basis.

3.15. Property, Plant and Equipment

Land and buildings held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes, are stated in the Statement of Financial Position at cost less any subsequent accumulated depreciation.

Assets under construction for production, rental or administrative purposes, or for purposes not yet determined, are carried at cost, less any recognized impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and, for qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalized in accordance with the Group's accounting policy. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other property assets, commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.

Fixtures and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any recognized impairment loss.

Fixed assets under finance leases are depreciated over the same useful lives as the Group owned fixed assets or if shorter over the year as per the finance lease contract.

Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets, other than land and properties under construction, over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method, on the following bases:

Fixed Asset category Useful
life
(years)
Land Indefinite
Buildings 5-40
Plant & machinery 7-33
Transportation equipment 7-20
Fixtures and equipment 4-33

Fixed assets of acquisition cost less than € 1,500 are fully depreciated in the year of their acquisition. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed on a frequent basis, with the effect of any changes in estimate to be accounted for on a prospective basis.

The gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an asset is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss.

3.16. Emission Rights

Emission Rights are accounted under the net liability method, based on which the Company recognizes a liability for emissions when the emissions are made and are in excess of the allowances allocated. Emission Rights acquired in excess of those required to cover the relevant shortages are recognized as expenses. Profit and/or loss arising on sale of emission rights is recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

3.17. Rights to Interests arising from Decommissioning, Restoration and Environmental Rehabilitation Funds

The Company is a member of ΙOPC Fund (International Oil Pollution Compensation Fund) an international organization for the protection of the environment from oil pollution. The Company is obliged to pay contributions to this organization in case of a relevant accident. These liabilities are accounted for according to IAS 37 "Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets" while any refund is accounted for upon receipt.

3.18. Customer Loyalty Programmes

The Group applies a Customer Loyalty Programme concerning retail sales through gas stations. Retail customers collect bonus points thru purchase of goods and services, which they may then cash to get free gifts based on specific catalogs. The Group applies IFRIC 13 "Customer Loyalty Programmes" accounting for the income from the transaction when the bonus points are cashed and the Group completes its granting obligation. The bonus points valuation granted by the Group from the rewarding of the customer loyalty programme is done at fair value based on a generally accepted method. The cost from the cash of the bonus points is charged in the cost of goods sold.

3.19. Impairment of tangible and intangible assets excluding goodwill

At any reporting date, the Group examines the book value of tangible and intangible assets in order to determine any impairment of these assets. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from other assets, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized as an expense immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized as income immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

3.20. Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost comprises of direct materials and where applicable, direct labor costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is calculated using the monthly weighted average.

3.21. Financial Instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized on the Group's Statement of Financial Position when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

3.22. Trade receivables

Trade receivables are mostly interest free and are stated at their nominal value as reduced by appropriate allowances for estimated irrecoverable amounts.

3.23. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits with original maturity of 3 months or less.

3.24. Available for sale investments (AFS)

Investments in unlisted equity shares are classified as available for sale and are stated at cost as their fair value cannot be reliably estimated. Dividends on AFS equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when the Group's right to receive the dividends is established.

3.25. Shares available for sale

Investments in listed companies' shares are classified as short-term available for sale and are valuated at the listed price at the reporting date. Dividends on AFS shares are recognized in profit or loss when the Group's right to receive the dividends is established. Any profit or loss from sale or from valuation of these shares is recognised in profit or loss for the year.

3.26. Borrowings

Interest-bearing bank loans and overdrafts are recorded according to the amounts received, net of direct issue costs. Finance charges, including premiums payable on settlement or redemption and direct issue costs, are accounted for on an accrual basis to the profit and loss account using effective interest method and are added to the carrying amount of the instrument to the extent that they are not settled in the year in which they arise.

3.27. Trade payables

Trade payables are interest free and are stated at their nominal value.

3.28. Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that the Group will be required to settle that obligation. Provisions are measured at the Group management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the Statement of Financial Position date, and are discounted to present value where the effect is material.

Provisions for restructuring costs, if any, are recognized only when the entity has developed a detailed formal plan for the restructuring and have announced details of plan to the involved parties. The measurement of a restructuring provision includes only the direct expenditures arising from the restructuring, which are those amounts that are both necessarily entailed by the restructuring and not associated with the ongoing activities of the entity.

3.29. Main sources of uncertainty in accounting estimations

The preparation of the financial statements presumes that various estimations and assumptions are made by the Group's management which possibly affect the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the required disclosures for contingent assets and liabilities as well as the amounts of income and expenses recognized. The use of adequate information and the subjective judgment used are basic for the estimates made for the valuation of assets, liabilities derived from employees benefit plans, impairment of receivables, unaudited tax years and pending legal cases. The estimations are important but not restrictive. The actual future events may differ than the above estimations. The major sources of uncertainty in accounting estimations by the Group's management, concern mainly the legal cases and the financial years not audited by the tax authorities, as described in detail in note 30.

Other sources of uncertainty relate to the assumptions made by the management regarding the employee benefit plans such as payroll increase, remaining years to retirement, inflation rates etc. and other sources of uncertainty is the estimation for the useful life of fixed assets. The above estimations and assumptions are based on the up to date experience of the management and are revaluated so as to be up to date with the current market conditions.

For the fiscal years 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 MOH group companies that were obliged for a tax compliance audit by the statutory auditors, have been audited by the appointed statutory auditors in accordance with L2190/1920, art. 82 of L 2238/1994 and art. 65A of L4174/13 and have issued the relevant Tax Compliance Certificates. In any case and according to Circ.1006/05.01.2016 these companies for which a Tax Compliance Certificate has been issued are not excluded from a further tax audit by the relevant tax authorities. Therefore, the tax authorities may perform a tax audit as well. However, the group's management believes that the outcome of such future audits, should these be performed, will not have a material impact on the financial position of the Group or the Company.

Up to the date of approval of these financial statements, the group companies' tax audit, by the statutory auditors, for the fiscal year 2017 is in progress. However it is not expected that material liabilities will arise from this tax audit.

36. Retirement Benefit Plans

The Group ´s obligations to its employees in relation to the future payment of benefits in proportion to their time of service are based on an actuarial study. This liability is computed and presented in the Statement of Financial Position date based on the expected vested benefit of every employee. The vested benefit is presented at its present value based on expected date of payment.

The Group operates funded defined benefit plans for eligible employees who work for "Motor Oil (Hellas) S.A." and its subsidiary "L.P.C. S.A.". According to the terms of plans, the employees are entitled to retirement benefits as a lump sum which depend on each employee's final salary upon retirement and the years of service with the Group. There are also defined contribution plans at the subsidiaries "CORAL GAS A.E.B.E.Y", "CORAL A.E." and "AVIN OIL SA". In addition, the Group is obligated to pay retirement compensation to its employees in accordance with Law 2112/1920, based on the above mentioned rights and retirement age limits. No other postretirement benefits are provided.

The most recent actuarial valuations of plan assets and the present value of the defined benefit obligation as well as of the obligation for retirement compensation to personnel were carried out at 31 December 2017 by an independent certified actuary. The present value of the defined benefit obligations, and the related current service cost, were measured using the projected unit credit method.

Valuation at:
31/12/2017 31/12/2016
Key assumptions used:
Discount rate 1.40% 1.40%
Expected return on plan assets
1.40% 1.40%
Expected rate of salary increases 0.00%-1.75% 0.00%-1.75%

The mortality tables used for the actuarial valuations up to and including 2016, were the swiss tables EVK 2000 (Minist. Dec. K3-3974/93) that remain in power. These tables though, do not reflect the current mortality expectations that according to OECD and the World Health Orginisation have increased by 5 years. Following this, the 2017 actuarial valuation applies the respective adjusted mortality tables resulting in an increase in the leaving indemnity provision as at 31.12.2017, by € 13.6 mil. for the Company and € 16 mil. for the Group that is included respectively in "Other Comprehensive Income".

The amount recognized in the Statement of Financial Position in respect of the defined benefit retirement benefit plans are as follows:

38. Management of Financial Risks

The Group's management has assessed the impacts on the management of financial risks that may arise due to the challenges of the general business environment in Greece. In general, as it is further discussed in the management of each financial risk below, the management of the Group does not consider that any negative developments in the Greek economy in connection with the capital controls of the Greek banks may materially affect the normal course of business of the Group and the Company.

a. Capital risk management

The Group manages its capital to ensure that Group companies will be able to continue as a going concern while maximizing the return to stakeholders through the optimization of the debt and equity balance. The capital structure of the Group consists of debt, which includes borrowings, cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to equity holders of the parent, comprising issued capital, reserves and retained earnings. The Group's management monitors the capital structure on a frequent basis.

As a part of this monitoring, the management reviews the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. The Group's intention is to balance its overall capital structure through the payment of dividends, as well as the issue of new debt or the redemption of existing debt. The Group through its 100% subsidiary "Motor Oil Finance plc" that is based in London, has already issued, since 2014, bond loans through the offering of Senior Notes bearing a fixed rate coupon and also maintains access at the international money markets broadening materially its financing alternatives. A possible exit of Great Britain from EU (Brexit) is not expected to have any impact in this subsidiary or in the Group.

Gearing Ratio

The Group's management reviews the capital structure on a frequent basis. As part of this review, the cost of capital is calculated and the risks associated with each class of capital are assessed.

The gearing ratio at the year end was as follows:

GROUP COMPANY
(In 000's Euros) 31/12/2017 31/12/2016 31/12/2017 31/12/2016
Bank loans 994,065 1,183,838 667,375 857,329
Cash and cash equivalents (714,026) (800,285) (638,815) (688,735)
Net debt 280,039 383,553 28,560 168,594
Equity 1,018,883 824,060 881,837 706,675
Net debt to equity ratio 0.27 0.47 0.03 0.24

b. Financial risk management

The Group's Treasury department provides services to the business, co-ordinates access to domestic and international financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Group. These risks include market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group does not enter into or trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes. The Treasury department reports on a frequent basis to the Group's management that monitors risks and policies implemented to mitigate risk exposures

38. Management of Financial Risks (continued)

c. Market risk

Due to the nature of its activities, the Group is exposed primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (see (d) below), interest rates (see (e) below) and to the volatility of oil prices mainly due to the obligation to maintain certain level of inventories. The Company, in order to avoid significant fluctuations in the inventories valuation is trying, as a policy, to keep the inventories at the lowest possible levels. Furthermore, any change in the pertaining refinery margin, denominated in USD, affects the Company's gross margin. There has been no change to the Group's exposure to market risks or the manner in which it manages and measures these risks. Considering the conditions in the oil refining and trading sector, as well as the negative economic environment in general, we consider the course of the Group and the Company as satisfactory. Through its Middle East based 100% subsidiary, the Group aims to exploit its endeavors at international level and to further strengthen its already solid exporting orientation. Moreover, the instability in the domestic market, in connection with the capital controls, is not expected to create problems to the normal course of business of the Company, which due to its strong exporting orientation generates adequate cash flows to cover the necessary imports of crude oil for the refinery activities. Furthermore, crude oil prices are determined in the international markets and are not affected so by any domestic market turbulences.

d. Foreign currency risk

Due to the use of the international Platt's prices in USD for oil purchases/sales, exposures to exchange rate fluctuations may arise for the Company's profit margins. The Company minimises foreign currency risks through physical hedging, mostly by monitoring assets and liabilities in foreign currencies.

e. Interest rate risk

The Group has access to various major domestic and international financial markets and manages to have borrowings with competitive interest rates and terms. Hence, the operating expenses and cash flows from financing activities are not materially affected by interest rate fluctuations.

Had the current interest rates been 50 basis points higher/lower, all other variables kept constant, the Group's profit for the year ended 31 December 2017 could have decreased/increased by approximately € 5.5 million.

f. Credit risk

The Group's credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade and other receivables.

The Group's trade receivables are characterized by a high degree of concentration, due to a limited number of customers comprising the clientele of the parent Company. Most of the customers are international well-known oil companies. Consequently, the credit risk is limited to a great extent. The Group companies have signed contracts with their clients, based on the course of the international oil prices. In addition, the Group, as a policy, obtains letters of guarantee from its clients in order to secure its receivables, which as at 31/12/2017 amounted to Euro 33.9 mil. As far as receivables of the subsidiaries "Avin Oil S.A.", "CORAL A.E.", "CORAL GAS A.E.B.E.Y." and "L.P.C. S.A." are concerned, these are spread in a wide range of customers and consequently there is no material concentration and the credit risk is limited. The Group manages its domestic credit policy in a way to limit accordingly the credit days granted in the local market, in order to minimise any probable domestic credit risk.

g. Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is managed through the proper combination of cash and cash equivalents and the bank loan facilities granted, when needed. In order to address such risks, the Group's management monitors the balance of cash and cash equivalents and ensures available bank loans facilities, maintaining also increased cash balances. Moreover, the major part of the Group's borrowings is long term borrowings which facilitates liquidity management.

(the Company), which comprise the separate and consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2017, and the separate and consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flow for the year then ended, as well as a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes.

In our opinion, the accompanying separate and consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company Motor Oil (Hellas) Corinth Refineries S.A. and its subsidiaries (the Group) as of December 31, 2017, and of their financial performance and their cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as endorsed by the European Union.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) as they have been transposed in Greek Legislation. Our responsibilities under those standards are described in the "Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements" section of our report. During our audit, we remained independent of the Company and the Group, in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) as transposed in Greek legislation and the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements in Greece. We have fulfilled our responsibilities in accordance with the provisions of the currently enacted law and the requirements of the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the separate and the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the separate and the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. In identifying the key audit matters below, we considered the risk of management override of internal control over financial reporting, including the impact on the recognition of revenue.

Key audit matter How our audit addressed the Key audit matter
Revenue Recognition in the correct period
Sales of products and merchandise (goods) of the
Group for the year ended December 31, 2017
amounted to € 7.843.482 thousand (Company:
€ 5.739.354 thousand).

contracts defining respective obligations, costs, and
risks involved in the delivery of goods from the
seller to the buyer. The terms are agreed between
the parties and vary on a case-by-case basis.
We have selected a representative sample of
transactions close to year-end (before and after),
and we have assessed whether revenue has been
recognised appropriately in accordance with the
contract terms, the delivery documents and the
other data relating to these transactions.
Due to the significance of the value of each
transaction and the particularity of the terms of
each contract, we consider that the revenue
recognition in the correct period is a key audit
matter.
The Group discloses the accounting policy related to
revenue recognition in Notes 3.4 and 4 of the
financial statements.
Valuation of inventories
The inventories of the Group as at December 31,
2017 amounted to € 635.541 thousand (Company:
€ 498.763 thousand).
We performed a risk based approach and our audit
includes, among others, the following elements:
The Group values inventories at the lower of cost
and net realisable value. Net realisable value is
estimated based on current sale prices of inventory.
We have assessed the accounting policies, the
methodology and the internal controls that the

end. For inventory codes where the net realisable
value was lower than its cost, we verified that the
calculation of impairment is accurate and properly
recognized in the financial statements.

Key audit matter How our audit addressed the Key audit matter

Assessment of whether non-current assets may be impaired

As at December 31, 2017, the Group has recognised Goodwill amounting to € 19.772 thousand (Company: € 0), Property, Plant and Equipment amounting to € 1.023.031 thousand (Company: € 679.765 thousand) and Investments in subsidiaries and associates amounting to € 48.707 thousand (Company: € 194.115 thousand).

In accordance with IFRS, the Group tests the above non-current assets for impairment by comparing their carrying amount with their recoverable amount. This assessment is based on significant judgment, estimates and assumptions made by Group management, given that the petroleum market is significantly influenced by international political, economic and geopolitical developments as well as by the legislative framework governing the Greek market.

Due to the significance of the value of the above non-current assets, the subjectivity of the assumptions and the significance of the estimates and judgment of management, involved in the determination of the recoverable amount, we consider that the impairment assessment of noncurrent assets is a key audit matter.

The Group discloses the accounting policy related to the impairment test of the above non-current assets in Notes 3.12, 3.19, 13, 15 and 16 of the financial statements.

Other Information

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information is included in the Board of Directors' Report, as referred to the "Report on other Legal and Regulatory Requirements" section, in the Declaration of the Board of Directors Representatives and in any other information which is either required by Law or the Company optionally incorporated, in the required by Law 3556/2007, Annual Report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.

Our opinion on the separate and consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the separate and consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the procedures performed, we

We performed a risk based approach and our audit includes, among others, the following elements:

We have assessed the accounting policies, the methodology and the internal controls that the Group has established relevant to the impairment testing.

We have assessed whether the methodology used for the determination of the recoverable amount, has been applied appropriately and consistently.

We have assessed the appropriateness and reasonableness of significant assumptions (such as growth rates, interest rates) and models used, where necessary, for the determination of the recoverable amount. In this assessment process, we have involved our internal specialists.

conclude that there is a material misstatement therein; we are required to communicate that matter. We have nothing to report in this respect.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the separate and consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the separate and consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as endorsed by the European Union, and for such internal control as Management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of separate and consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the separate and consolidated financial statements, Management is responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless Management either intends to liquidate the Company or the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. The Audit Committee (art. 44 of Law 4449/2017) of the Company is responsible for overseeing the Company's and the Group's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the separate and consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the separate and the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs, as they have been transposed in Greek Legislation, will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these separate and consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs as they have been transposed in Greek Legislation, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the separate and consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's and the Group's internal control.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by Management.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of Management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's and the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the separate and consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence

obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company and the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the separate and consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the separate and consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the separate and consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of the Company and the Group. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

1) Board of Directors' Report

Taking into consideration that Management is responsible for the preparation of the Board of Directors' Report which also includes the Corporate Governance Statement, according to the provisions of paragraph 5 of article 2 (part B) of L. 4336/2015, we note the following:

  • a) The Board of Directors' Report includes the Corporate Governance Statement which provides the information required by Article 43bb of Greek Codified Law 2190/1920.
  • b) In our opinion the Board of Directors' Report has been prepared in accordance with the applicable legal requirements of articles 43a and 107A and of paragraph 1 (cases c' and d') of article 43bb of Greek Codified Law 2190/1920 and its content is consistent with the accompanying separate and consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31/12/2017.
  • c) Based on the knowledge we obtained during our audit about the Company Motor Oil (Hellas) Corinth Refineries S.A. and its environment, we have not identified any material inconsistencies in the Board of Directors' Report.

2) Additional Report to the Audit Committee

Our audit opinion on the separate and the consolidated financial statements is consistent with the additional report to the Audit Committee referred to in article 11 of EU Regulation 537/2014.

3) Non Audit Services

We have not provided to the Company and the Group any prohibited non-audit services referred to in article 5 of EU Regulation No 537/2014.

The allowed services provided to the Company and the Group, in addition to the statutory audit, during the year ended 31 December 2017 have been disclosed in Note 7 to the accompanying separate and consolidated financial statements.

4) Appointment

We were appointed as statutory auditors for the first time by the General Assembly of shareholders of the Company on 28 June 1996. Our appointment has been, since then, uninterrupted renewed by the Annual General Assembly of shareholders of the Company for 26 consecutive years.
