| Total Sales | 6,255,650 | 6,498,494 | (3.74%) | 2,656,168 | 3,657,432 | (27.38%) |
In the first half of 2016 the turnover of the Group decreased by an amount of Euro 1,001.3 million or 27.38% compared to the corresponding period of 2015. The decrease of the consolidated turnover is accounted for by the fall of the average prices of petroleum products (denominated in US Dollars) by 34.4% and the drop of the sales volume by 3.74%. The latter is attributed to the programmed maintenance turnaround of the process units of the Refinery of the parent company (relevant reference is made in the section "Capital Expenditure").
The Group had revenues from services (storage fees) rendered by "OFC AVIATION FUEL SERVICES S.A." both in the first half of 2016 and the first half of 2015.
The breakdown of the consolidated sales volume confirms the exporting profile of the Group given that export and bunkering sales combined accounted for 73.49% of the aggregate sales volume in the first six months of 2016 compared to 72.90% in the first six months of 2015 as well as the high contribution of refining activities (83.04% of the aggregate sales volume in the first half of 2016 compared to 86.77% in the first half of 2015).

| Total Sales | 5,810,146 | 6,114,701 | (4.98%) | 1,790,701 | 2,800,839 | (36.07%) |
In the first half of 2016 the turnover of the Company amounted to Euro 1,790.7 million compared to Euro 2,800.8 million in the corresponding period of 2015 which represents a decrease of 36.07%. This development of Company turnover is attributed to the impact of the same parameters which influenced the development of 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 (export and bunkering sales combined accounted for 76.88% of the aggregate sales volume in the first half of 2016 compared to 76.28% in the corresponding period of 2015) as well as the high contribution of refining activities (89.03% of the aggregate sales volume in the first six months of 2016 compared to 92.22% in the corresponding period of 2015).
A breakdown of the aggregate volume of crude oil and other raw materials processed by the Company during the first six months of 2016 compared to the respective volume processed during the corresponding period of 2015 is presented hereunder:
| Metric Tons First half 2016 |
Metric Tons First half 2015 |
||
|---|---|---|---|
| Crude oil | 4,144,199 | 4,458,910 | |
| Fuel Oil – raw material |
514,893 | 721,512 | |
| Gas Oil | 899,303 | 699,360 | |
| Others | 35,977 | 54,372 | |
| Total | 5,594,372 | 5,934,154 |
The aggregate volume of crude oil and other raw materials processed by the Company in the first half of 2016 is lower compared to the volume processed in the first half of 2015 because of the programmed maintenance turnaround of the Refinery process units which took place in the period May – June 2016.
In the first half of 2016 the Gross Profit (before depreciation) of the Group came in at Euro 361,056 thousand from Euro 406,363 thousand in the corresponding period of 2015 (a reduction of 11.15%), while the Gross Profit at Company level came in at Euro 241,628 thousand from Euro 292,942 thousand (a reduction of 17.52%).
The reduction of the Gross Profit as an absolute figure, both at Group and at Parent Company level, is attributed to the lower volume of sales, due to the programmed maintenance turnaround of the Refinery process units carried out in the period May – June 2016, as well as the weaker first half 2016 refining margins compared to those of the first half 2015 as demonstrated in the next table presenting the development of the Gross Profit Margin of the Company in USD/MT:
| Gross Profit Margin (USD/ΜΤ) | H1 2016 | H1 2015 |
|---|---|---|
| Company Blended Profit Margin | 59.0 | 63.3 |
The Operating expenses (Administrative and Selling) at Group level increased in the first half of 2016 by Euro 2,802 thousand or 2.46% while at Company level by Euro 190 thousand or 0.63% compared to the corresponding period of 2015.
Other Operating Income (Expenses) is distinguished in two classes:
The Group recorded foreign exchange losses of Euro 2,863 thousand in the first half of 2016 compared to losses of Euro 17,797 thousand in the respective interim period of 2015. Likewise, the Company recorded foreign exchange losses of Euro 3,102 thousand in the first half of 2016 compared to losses of Euro 17,843 thousand in the respective interim period of 2015.
As regards other operating income, apart from foreign exchange differences, at Group level it amounted to Euro 18,193 thousand in the first half of 2016 compared to Euro 12,643 thousand in the first half of 2015 while at Company level it amounted to Euro 14,295 thousand in the first half of 2016 compared to Euro 9,308 thousand in the first half of 2015.
Subsequent to the above developments at Gross Margin level and at Operating Income & Expenses level, the EBITDA of the Group came in at Euro 259,843 thousand in the first half of 2016 compared to Euro 287,468 thousand in the first half of 2015 while the EBITDA of the Company came in at Euro 222,543 thousand in the first half of 2016 compared to Euro 254,318 thousand in the respective interim period of 2015.
In the first half of 2016 the financial cost at Group level amounted to Euro 39,865 thousand compared to Euro 43,736 thousand in the corresponding period of 2015 reduced by Euro 3,871 thousand or 8.85%. A breakdown of this variation is presented in the table below:
| For the 6-month period ended | Variation | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amounts in thousands Euros |
30 June 2016 | 30 June 2015 | Amount | % |
| Share of (profits) / losses from Associates |
117 | 1,521 | (1,404) | (92.31%) |
| Income from Participations & Investments | 0 | (123) | 123 | (100.00%) |
| Interest Income | (700) | (1,051) | 351 | (33.40%) |
| Interest Expenses & bank charges | 40,448 | 43,389 | (2,941) | (6.78%) |
| Total Finance Cost |
39,865 | 43,736 | (3,871) | (8.85%) |
The "Share of (profits) / losses from Associates" amount of Euro 117 thousand for the first half of 2016 and of Euro 1,521 thousand for the first half of 2015 correspond to the share of the Group in the combined financial results of the companies: "M and M NATURAL GAS S.A.", "KORINTHOS POWER S.A.", "SHELL & MOH AVIATION FUELS A.E." and "RHODES - ALEXANDROUPOLIS PETROLEUM INSTALLATION S.A." which are consolidated under the net equity method.
The "Income from Participations & Investments" amount of Euro 123 thousand for the first half of 2015 relates to the dividend from the fiscal year 2014 earnings of the company "ATHENS AIRPORT FUEL PIPELINE COMPANY S.A.". During the second half of 2016 this company is scheduled to proceed with a dividend payment for fiscal 2015.
In the first half of 2016 the financial cost at Company level amounted to Euro 27,821 thousand compared to Euro 30,907 thousand the first half of 2015 reduced by Euro 3,086 thousand or 9.98%. A breakdown of this variation is offered in the table below:
| For the six-month period ended | Variation | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amounts in Thousand Euros | 30 June 2016 | 30 June 2015 | Amount | % |
| Income from Investments Interest income |

32,156 30,907 |
(3,150) (3,086) |
(9.80%) (9.98%) |
The "Income from Investments" amount of Euro of Euro 663 thousand for the first half of 2016 corresponds to the dividend from the fiscal year 2015 earnings of the company "OFC AVIATION FUEL SERVICES S.A." (please see section "Related Party Transactions"). The amount of Euro 794 thousand for the first half of 2015 corresponds to the dividends from the fiscal year 2014 earnings of the companies "ATHENS AIRPORT FUEL PIPELINE COMPANY S.A." and "OFC AVIATION FUEL SERVICES S.A.".
The decrease of Interest Expenses in the first half of 2016, both at consolidated and at parent company level, is attributed to the de-escalation of bank debt balance (Group as at 30.06.2016: Euro 1,278 million compared to Euro 1,439 million as at 30.06.2015 – Parent Company as at 30.06.2016: Euro 950.7 million compared to Euro 1,093.7 million as at 30.06.2015).
The Earnings before Tax of the Group in the first half of 2016 amounted to Euro 170,898 thousand compared to Earnings before Tax of Euro 193,422 thousand in the respective interim period of 2015 while the Earnings after Tax amounted to Euro 118,006 thousand compared to Earnings after Tax of Euro 141,907 thousand in the respective interim period of 2015.
The Earnings before Tax of the Company in the first half of 2016 amounted to Euro 157,213 thousand compared to Earnings before Tax of Euro 185,038 thousand in the respective interim period of 2015 while the Earnings after Tax amounted to Euro 110,393 thousand compared to Earnings after Tax of Euro 137,359 thousand in the respective period of 2015.
It is noted that the applicable corporate tax rate for the first half of 2016 is 29% (Law 4334 - Government Gazette A' 80/16.07.2015) while the applicable corporate tax rate for the first half of 2015 was 26% (Law 4110 - Government Gazette A' 17/23.01.2013).
The operations as well as the profitability of the companies engaged in the "oil refining and marketing of petroleum products" sector are influenced by a series of external parameters and mainly the prices of crude oil, the refining margins, the EURO/US Dollar parity and the development of the interest rates (reference to the latter two parameters is made in the section "Management of Financial Risks").
During the first half of 2016 the price of Brent was characterized by increased volatility (max price 50.72 USD/barrel – min price 25.99 USD/barrel – average price 39.81 USD/barrel). In the period after June 30th (closing price 48.44 USD/barrel) Brent has been trading within the 40-50 USD/barrel range (max price 49.77 USD/barrel – min price 40.26 USD/barrel – average price 45.27 USD/barrel) and at least in the short term no noticeable volatility is anticipated because of the seemingly sufficient supply of crude oil at international level.
On the operational front the Company, through its exports which historically constitute the bulk of its sales, can finance the purchases of crude oil at current price levels securing the continuous supply of its Refinery without being affected by the capital controls imposed in Greece.
For the second half of 2016 the operating results of the Company are expected to be satisfactory given the capability of the Refinery to deliver refining margins at the top end of the sector, assuming sustainability of the operations of the Company at high level, and taking into account that the impact from the programmed maintenance turnaround of the Refinery units (lower volume of sales, small charge on refining margins) are reflected on the financial figures of the first half of the year.
The capital expenditure of the Company in the first six months of 2016 amounted to Euro 30 million the largest share of which (approximately 80%) concerned the programmed turnaround of the Refinery process units. The maintenance program which commenced at the end of May and took approximately one month to complete was necessary in order to secure the Refinery Reliability.
More specifically, the emphasis was put on the Hydrocracker Complex, the New Crude Distillation Unit (first maintenance since the commencement of its operation in May 2010), and the Lubes Complex.
The remainder capital expenditure amount was absorbed by investment projects in progress aiming to upgrade the quality of the Refinery output and to improve its infrastructure. The projects that stand out involve the Jet & ADO production increase from the Hydrocracker and the construction of new storage tanks at the area freed as a result of placing the overhead Public Power Corporation (PPC) lines underground.
The most important events for the Company during the first half of 2016 until the time of the writing of the present half year financial report are presented hereunder:
The Annual Ordinary General Meeting of the shareholders of MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) CORINTH REFINERIES S.A. convened on June 8, 2016 and granted the special permission pursuant to article 23a of the Codified Law 2190/1920 for the participation of the Company in a joint venture with the company VEGAS OIL AND GAS LIMITED. More specifically, the participation of MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) CORINTH REFINERIES S.A. in the joint venture (MOTOR OIL VEGAS UPSTREAM LIMITED) with a 65% stake was approved (VEGAS OIL AND GAS LIMITED stake: 35%). The registered address of MOTOR OIL VEGAS UPSTREAM LIMITED is in Cyprus and its corporate objective is the exploration and production of potential new oil resources (upstream).
In July 2016 MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) CORINTH REFINERIES S.A. effected a payment of Euro 1,950,000 for its participation in the share capital increase of MOTOR OIL VEGAS UPSTREAM LIMITED as analysed in note 18 of the financial statements of the first half 2016 referring to the Establishment of Subsidiaries.
Apart from the above there are no events significantly influencing the financial structure or the business course of the Group until the time of the writing of the present report.
The preparation of the financial statements presumes that various estimates 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 estimates are important but not restrictive. The actual future events may differ from the above estimates. The major sources of uncertainty in accounting estimates 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 19 of the financial statements.
Other sources of uncertainty relate to the assumptions made by management regarding the employee benefit plans such as payroll increase, remaining years to retirement, inflation rates etc. Another source of uncertainty regards the estimate for the fixed assets useful life. The above estimates and assumptions are based on the up to date experience of management and are re-evaluated so as to reflect the prevailing market conditions.
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 that are still in force, may materially affect the normal course of business of the Group and the Company.
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, issued a bond loan for an amount of EURO 350 million in 2014 through the offering of five year Senior Notes bearing a fixed rate coupon and maintains also access at the international money markets broadening materially its financing alternatives.
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 as of 30/6/2016 and 31/12/2015 was as follows:
| GROUP | COMPANY | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (In 000's Euros) | 30/06/2016 | 31/12/2015 | 30/06/2016 | 31/12/2015 |
| Bank loans | 1,278,012 | 1,351,841 | 950,717 | 1,020,019 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | (716,008) | (670,559) | (644,651) | (567,726) |
| Net debt | 562,004 | 681,282 | 306,066 | 452,293 |
| Equity | 666,237 | 603,814 | 565,741 | 510,778 |
| Net debt to equity ratio | 0.84 | 1.13 | 0.54 | 0.89 |
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.
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 recently incorporated Middle East based 100% subsidiary, the Group aims to exploit its endeavours 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.
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.
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.
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 30/06/2016 amounted to Euro 16.7 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. A.E." 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.
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 in conjunction with the fact that cash and cash equivalents are deposited in well known domestic and foreign banks due also to the very strong exporting orientation of the Company. Moreover, the major part of the Group's borrowings is long term borrowings which facilitates liquidity management.
The commitment of the Group to the fulfillment of its main goal, which involves its engagement in the wider energy sector catering for the energy needs of 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 on its policy for Quality, Environmental Protection and Health & Safety.
The Quality Management System of the Company was certified initially in 1993 according to the ISO 9002 standard while the reformation of the system commenced in 2002 aiming at the development of a new one meeting the standards of the (then) new ISO 9001:2000 which was certified by Bureau Veritas Quality International (BVQI) in January 2003. In March 2006 the system was recertified with validity until March 2009 when it was certified according to the new version of the standard ISO
9001:2008 and 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.
The commitment of the management as well as the personnel of MOTOR OIL to continuous quality development is universal. In 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 initially with 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 Environmental Management System (EMS) of the Refinery was initially certified by Bureau Veritas Certification (BV Cert.) according to the ISO 14001:1996 standard in December 2000. In March 2007 the system was certified according to the more stringent standard ISO 14001:2004 and validity until January 2010. In March 2010 the system was recertified with validity until January 2013 when its certification was renewed with validity 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.
Furthermore, in July 2007, and given the firm 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 voluntarily adopted the European Regulation (ER) 761/2001 EMAS (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme) and since then has been issuing an annual Environmental Statement certified by Bureau Veritas. The annual Environmental Statements for the fiscal years 2006-2009 were compiled according to the above mentioned European Regulation standard EMAS II 761/2001 while these of the fiscal years 2010-2015 according to the more recent European Regulation standard EMAS III 1221/2009. The year 2015 Environmental Statement was submitted to the MINISTRY OF PRODUCTIVE RECONSTRUCTION ENVIRONMENT & ENERGY in July 2016 bearing the Protocol Number 35873/15.07.2016.
The triple combination of certifications, ISO 14001:2004 & EMAS with regard to environment, and ISO 9001:2008 with regard to quality, is of great importance and is encountered only in a handful of European refineries with high degree of complexity similar to that of the Refinery of MOTOR OIL.
MOTOR OIL is also committed to incorporate Health & 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 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.

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 7.6%.
These financial statements are presented in Euro because that is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group operates.
As at 30 June 2016 the number of employees, for the Group and the Company, was 2,012 and 1,186 respectively (30/6/2015: Group: 2,039 persons, Company: 1,196 persons).
The interim condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, 'Interim financial reporting' and should be read in combination with the 2015 annual financial statements.
The interim condensed financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.
The accounting policies adopted in these condensed interim financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015 except for the following:
IAS 19 is amended so as to clarify the requirements that relate to how contributions from employees or third parties that are linked to service should be attributed to periods of service. In addition, it permits a practical expedient if the amount of the contributions is independent of the number of years of service, in that, contributions can but are not required, to be recognized as a reduction in the service cost in the period in which they are due. The amendment has not yet been endorsed by the European Union.
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 2013. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the E.U.
Amends the definitions of 'vesting condition' and 'market condition' and adds definitions for 'performance condition' and 'service condition'.
The amendment requires contingent consideration that is classified as an asset or a liability to be measured at fair value at each reporting date.
The amendment requires disclosure of the judgments made by management in applying the aggregation criteria to operating segments. Further to this the amendment clarifies that reconciliations of segment assets to total assets are only required if segment assets are reported regularly to the CODM.
The amendment clarifies that issuing IFRS 13 and amending IFRS 9 and IAS 39 did not remove the ability to measure certain short-term receivables and payables on an undiscounted basis.
These standards are amended so as to clarify that the gross amount of property, plant and equipment is adjusted in a manner consistent with a revaluation of the carrying amount.
Clarifies that payments to entities providing key management personnel services are to be disclosed as transactions with related parties.
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 2013. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the E.U.
Clarifies that first time adopters are allowed to apply new IFRSs that are not yet mandatory if the IFRSs permit early application.
Clarify that IFRS 3 excludes from its scope the accounting for the formation of a joint arrangement in the financial statements of the joint arrangement itself.
Clarify the scope of the portfolio exception in paragraph 52, so that it can be applied to all contracts under the scope of IAS 39 even if the definitions of financial assets and financial liabilities are not met.
Clarifies that IAS 40 and IFRS 3 are not mutually exclusive and that application of both standards may be required.
Amends IFRS 11 to require an acquirer of an interest in a joint operation in which the activity constitutes a business (as defined in IFRS 3 Business Combinations) ,to apply all of the business combinations accounting principles in IFRS 3 and other IFRSs, except for those principles that conflict with the guidance in IFRS 11 and also disclose the information required by IFRS 3 and other IFRSs for business combinations. The amendments apply both to the initial acquisition of an interest in joint operation, and the acquisition of an additional interest in a joint operation (in the latter case, previously held interests are not remeasured). The amendment has been endorsed by the European Union.
Amends IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements to address perceived impediments to preparers exercising their judgement in presenting their financial reports by making the following changes:
clarification that in formation should not be obscured by aggregating or by providing immaterial information, materiality considerations apply to the all parts of the financial statements, and even when a standard requires a specific disclosure, materiality considerations do apply; clarification that the list of line items to be presented in these statements can be disaggregated and aggregated as relevant and additional guidance on subtotals in these statements and clarification that an entity's share of OCI of equity accounted associates and joint ventures should be presented in aggregate as single line items based on whether or not it will subsequently be reclassified to profit or loss; additional examples of possible ways of ordering the notes to clarify that understand ability and comparability should be considered when determining the order of the notes and to demonstrate that the notes need not be presented in the order so far listed in paragraph 114 of IAS 1. The amendment has been endorsed by the European Union.
Amends IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities and IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (2011) to address issues that have arisen in the context of applying the consolidation exception for investment entities by clarifying the following points.
The exemption from preparing consolidated financial statements for an intermediate parent entity is available to a parent entity that is a subsidiary of an investment entity, even if the investment entity measures all of its subsidiaries at fair value. A subsidiary that provides services related to the parent's investment activities should not be consolidated if the subsidiary itself is an investment entity. When applying the equity method to an associate or a joint venture, a non-investment entity investor in an investment entity may retain the fair value measurement applied by the associate or joint venture to its interests in subsidiaries. An investment entity measuring all of its subsidiaries at fair value provides the disclosures relating to investment entities required by IFRS 12. The amendment has not yet been endorsed by the European Union.
Amends IAS 16 & IAS 38 so as to clarify that a depreciation method that is based on revenue that is generated by an activity that includes the use of an asset is not appropriate for property, plant and equipment. Also the amendment introduces a rebuttable presumption that an amortisation method that is based on the revenue generated by an activity that includes the use of an intangible asset is inappropriate, which can only be overcome in limited circumstances where the intangible asset is expressed as a measure of revenue, or when it can be demonstrated that revenue and the consumption of the economic benefits of the intangible asset are highly correlated. Further to this the amendment adds guidance that expected future reductions in the selling price of an item that was produced using an asset could indicate the expectation of technological or commercial obsolescence of the asset, which, in turn, might reflect a reduction of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset. The amendment has been endorsed by the European Union.
Amends IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements to permit investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates to be optionally accounted for using the equity method in separate financial statements. This amendment has been endorsed by the EU.
The amendments set out below describe the key changes to four IFRSs. The improvements have not yet been endorsed by the EU.
Adds specific guidance in IFRS 5 for cases in which an entity reclassifies an asset from held for sale to held for distribution or vice versa and cases in which held-for-distribution accounting is discontinued.
Provides additional guidance to clarify whether a servicing contract is continuing involvement in a transferred asset, and clarification on offsetting disclosures in condensed interim financial statements.
Clarify that the high quality corporate bonds used in estimating the discount rate for post-employment benefits should be denominated in the same currency as the benefits to be paid.
Clarifies the meaning of 'elsewhere in the interim report' and requires a cross-reference.
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 not yet been endorsed by the EU.
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.
To achieve this objective, the IASB requires that the following changes in liabilities arising from financing activities are disclosed (to the extent necessary): (i) changes from financing cash flows; (ii) changes arising from obtaining or losing control of subsidiaries or other businesses; (iii) the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates; (iv) changes in fair values; and (v) other changes. The IASB defines liabilities arising from financing activities as liabilities "for which cash flows were, or future cash flows will be, classified in the statement of cash flows as cash flows from financing activities". It also stresses that the new disclosure requirements also relate to changes in financial assets if they meet the same definition.
The amendments state that one way to fulfil the new disclosure requirement is to provide a reconciliation between the opening and closing balances in the statement of financial position for liabilities arising from financing activities. This is a departure from the December 2014 exposure draft that had proposed that such a reconciliation should be required.
Finally, the amendments state that changes in liabilities arising from financing activities must be disclosed separately from changes in other assets and liabilities. The amendment has not yet been endorsed by the EU.
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 not yet been endorsed by the European Union.
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 not yet been endorsed by the European Union.
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 Company is currently investigating the impact of IFRS 9 on its financial statements. The Company cannot currently early adopt IFRS 9 as it has not been endorsed by the EU. Only once approved will the Company decide if IFRS 9 will be adopted prior to 1 January 2018. The standard has not yet been endorsed by the European Union.
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 not yet been endorsed by the EU.
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 not yet been endorsed by the EU.
All of the Group's activities take place in Greece, given that all Group Companies included in the consolidation, have their headquarters in Greece and no branches abroad.
All operational segments fall under one of three distinct activity categories: Refinery's Activities, Sales to Gas Stations and Services.

* The tax audit for fiscal years 2009 and 2010 has been completed based on temporary tax audit reports and there are no material additional taxes expected for those years upon the finalization of the tax audits.
** Tax audit for those fiscal years is not yet finalized thus tax liabilities for these fiscal years are not yet final. In a future tax audit, it is possible that additional taxes and surcharges will be imposed, the amount of which cannot be determined accurately at present. However, the group's management believes that the outcome of such future audits, should these performed, will not have a material impact on the financial position.
For the fiscal years 2011, 2012, 2013 & 2014, 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 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 2015 is in progress. However, it is not expected that material liabilities will arise from this tax audit.

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.
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, issued a bond loan for an amount of EURO 350 million in 2014 through the offering of five year Senior Notes bearing a fixed rate coupon and maintains also access at the international money markets broadening materially its financing alternatives.
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) | 30/6/2016 | 31/12/2015 | 30/6/2016 | 31/12/2015 |
| Bank loans | 1,278,012 | 1,351,841 | 950,717 | 1,020,019 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | (716,008) | (670,559) | (644,651) | (567,726) |
| Net debt | 562,004 | 681,282 | 306,066 | 452,293 |
| Equity | 666,237 | 603,814 | 565,741 | 510,778 |
| Net debt to equity ratio | 0.84 | 1.13 | 0.54 | 0.89 |
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.
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 recently incorporated 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.
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.
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.
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 30/6/2016 amounted to Euro 16.7 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.
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 in conjunction with the fact that cash and cash equivalents are deposited in well-known domestic and foreign banks due also to the very strong exporting orientation of the Company. Moreover, the major part of the Group's borrowings is long term borrowings which facilitates liquidity management.
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

To the Shareholders of MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) CORINTH REFINERIES S.A.
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed stand alone and consolidated statement of financial position of MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) CORINTH REFINERIES S.A. (the Company) and its subsidiaries, as of June 30, 2016 and the related condensed stand alone and consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month period then ended, and selective explanatory notes which comprise the interim financial information, which represents an integral part of the six month financial report as provided by article 5 of Law 3556/2007. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of this interim condensed financial information in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and applicable to interim financial reporting ("IAS 34"). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim condensed financial information based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34.
Our review has not revealed any inconsistency in the content of the management half year financial report provided by article 5 of Law 3556/2007 when compared to the accompanying interim financial information.
