In the first half of 2017 the turnover of the Group increased by an amount of Euro 1,087.2 million or 40.93% compared to the corresponding period of 2016. The increase of the consolidated turnover is accounted for by the increase of the average prices of petroleum products (denominated in US Dollars) by 38.5%, the increase of the sales volume by 15% and the strengthening of the USD against the EURO (first half 2017 average parity EURO/USD 2017 = 1.083 compared to 1.116 in the first half of 2016) by 2.95%.

The Group had revenues from services (storage fees) rendered by "OFC AVIATION FUEL SERVICES S.A." both in the first half of 2017 and the first half of 2016.

The breakdown of the consolidated sales volume confirms the exporting profile of the Group given that export and bunkering sales combined accounted for 79.78% of the aggregate sales volume in the first six months of 2017 compared to 73.49% in the first six months of 2016 as well as the high contribution of refining activities (87.92% of the aggregate sales volume in the first half of 2017 compared to 83.04% in the first half of 2016).

The respective breakdown of Company Turnover is presented hereunder:

In the first half of 2017 the turnover of the Company amounted to Euro 2,748.2 million compared to Euro 1,790.7 million in the corresponding period of 2016 which represents an increase of 53.47%. This increase in the Company's 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 82.93% of the aggregate sales volume in the first half of 2017 compared to 76.88% in the corresponding period of 2016) as well as the high contribution of refining activities (92.79% of the aggregate sales volume in the first six months of 2017 compared to 89.03% in the corresponding period of 2016).

A breakdown of the aggregate volume of crude oil and other raw materials processed by the Company during the first six months of 2017 compared to the respective volume processed during the corresponding period of 2016 is presented hereunder:

Total 6,697,746 5,594,372

The lower aggregate volume of crude oil and other raw materials processed by the Company in the first half of 2016 is attributed to the programmed maintenance turnaround of the Refinery process units which took place in the period May – June 2016.

2. Gross Profit

In the first half of 2017 the Gross Profit (before depreciation) of the Group was Euro 417,701 thousand from Euro 361,056 thousand in the corresponding period of 2016 (an increase of 15.69%), while the Gross Profit at Company level was Euro 293,784 thousand from Euro 241,628 thousand (an increase of 21.59%).

The increase of the Gross Profit as an absolute figure, both at Group and at Parent Company level, is attributed to the notably higher volume of sales combined with the satisfactory first half 2017 refining margins, despite the fact that a significant part of the refinery processed volume concerned Fuel Oil and Gas Oil upgrading.

The development of the Gross Profit Margin of the Company in USD/MT is demonstrated in the following table:

Gross Profit Margin (USD/ΜΤ) H1 2017 H1 2016
Company Blended Profit Margin 57.1 59.0

3. Administrative and Selling Expenses (before depreciation) – Other Operating Income

The Operating expenses (Administrative and Selling) at Group level increased in the first half of 2017 by Euro 8,675 thousand or 7.44% while at Company level by Euro 742 thousand or 2.45% compared to the corresponding period of 2016.

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

  • Foreign exchange gains or losses 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 income concerning mainly storage rentals from third parties as well as income from the usage of the Truck Loading Terminal of the Refinery.

The Group recorded foreign exchange losses of Euro 33,260 thousand in the first half of 2017 compared to losses of Euro 2,863 thousand in the respective interim period of 2016. Likewise, the Company recorded foreign exchange losses of Euro 32,108 thousand in the first half of 2017 compared to losses of Euro 3,102 thousand in the respective period of 2016. This development, both at Group and at Parent Company level is by and large attributed to the significant bank deposits kept in USD, given that that EURO/ USD parity was 1.0541 on 31.12.2016 and 1.1412 on 30.6.2017.

As regards other operating income, apart from foreign exchange differences, at Group level it amounted to Euro 13,878 thousand in the first half of 2017 compared to Euro 18,193 thousand in the first half of 2016 while at Company level it amounted to Euro 16,311 thousand compared to Euro 14,295 thousand.

4. 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 came in at Euro 273,100 thousand in the first half of 2017 compared to Euro 259,843 thousand in the first half of 2016 while the EBITDA of the Company was Euro 246,967 thousand in the first half of 2017 compared to Euro 222,543 thousand in the respective period of 2016.

5. Income from Investments – Financial Expenses

In the first half of 2017 the financial cost at Group level amounted to Euro 43,226 thousand compared to Euro 39,865 thousand in the corresponding period of 2016 increased by Euro 3,361 thousand or 8.43%. A breakdown of this variation is presented in the table below:

The "Income from Participations & Investments" amount of Euro 101 thousand for the first half of 2017 relates to the dividend from the fiscal year 2016 earnings of the company "ATHENS AIRPORT FUEL PIPELINE COMPANY S.A.".

In the first half of 2017 the financial cost at Company level amounted to Euro 34,334 thousand compared to Euro 27,821 thousand the first half of 2016 increased by Euro 6,513 thousand or 23.41%. A breakdown of this variation is offered in the table below:

The "Income from Investments" amount of Euro 766 thousand for the first half of 2017 corresponds to the dividends from the fiscal year 2016 earnings of the companies "ATHENS AIRPORT FUEL PIPELINE COMPANY S.A." and "OFC AVIATION FUEL SERVICES S.A.". The amount of Euro 663 thousand for the first half of 2016 corresponds to the dividends from the fiscal year 2015 earnings of the company "OFC AVIATION FUEL SERVICES S.A." (please see section "Related Party Transactions").

The first half 2017 increase of Interest Expenses & bank charges, both at consolidated and at parent company level, is attributed to the one-off charge due to the payment of the applicable premium and

accrued but unpaid interest in the context of the refinancing of the Senior Notes issued by MOTOR OIL FINANCE PLC (please see section "Significant Events").

6. Earnings (losses) before Tax – Earnings (losses) after Tax

The Earnings before Tax of the Group in the first half of 2017 amounted to Euro 177,914 thousand compared to Earnings before Tax of Euro 170,898 thousand in the respective interim period of 2016 while the Earnings after Tax amounted to Euro 125,083 thousand compared to Earnings after Tax of Euro 118,006 thousand in the respective interim period of 2016.

The Earnings before Tax of the Company in the first half of 2017 amounted to Euro 174,113 thousand compared to Earnings before Tax of Euro 157,213 thousand in the respective interim period of 2016 while the Earnings after Tax amounted to Euro 123,160 thousand compared to Earnings after Tax of Euro 110,393 thousand in the respective period of 2016.

It is noted that the applicable corporate tax rate is 29% for the first half of 2017 (Law 4334 - Government Gazette A' 80/16.07.2015) as well as for the respective period of 2016.

ΙΙ. PROSPECTS

The operations as well as the profitability of the companies engaged in the sector of "oil refining and marketing of petroleum products" 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 2017 no particular volatility was noted with regard to the price of Brent which had been trading within the 45-55 USD/barrel range (max price 56.30 USD/barrel – min price 44.28 USD/barrel – average price 51.72 USD/barrel). In the period after June 30th (closing price 47.39 USD/barrel) the price of Brent has been likewise trading within the already mentioned 45-55 USD/barrel range (max price 52.91 USD/barrel – min price 46.53 USD/barrel – average price 49.86 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.

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. On the operational front, 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 uninterrupted supply of its Refinery with raw material, without being affected by the capital controls imposed in Greece.

For the second half of 2017 the Company's operating results are expected to be satisfactory taking advantage of the Refinery's capability to deliver refining margins at the top end of the sector, combined with the continuation of the Company's operations at high level, the decrease of interest expenses, as a result of the de-escalation of bank liabilities and the reduced interest coupon of the new Bond Senior Notes due 2022, and taking into account that the one-off impact from the refinancing of the Euro 350 million Senior Notes (relevant reference is made in the section "Significant Events") has already been reflected on the financial figures of the first half of the fiscal year.

ΙΙΙ. CAPITAL EXPENDITURE

In the first six months of 2017 the Company carried out investments of Euro 38.5 million including the amount (Euro 15 million) for the acquisition of the storage installations of REVOIL S.A. (relevant reference is made in the section "Significant Events").

The capital expenditure for the first six months of 2017 was Euro 23.5 million absorbed by investment projects in progress aiming to upgrade the quality of the Refinery output and to enhance its energy

performance and 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.

For the fiscal 2017 the Company's capital expenditure is estimated at Euro 55 million.

IV. SIGNIFICANT EVENTS

The most important events for the Company during the first half of 2017 until the time of the writing of the present half year financial report are presented hereunder:

On 3rd January 2017 CORAL A.E., a wholly owned subsidiary of MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) S.A., acquired 100% of the shares issued by the company LUKOIL CYPRUS LIMITED owned by LUKOIL EUROPE HOLDINGS B.V. (registered address, Amsterdam, Netherlands) which was the seller. The value of the transaction amounted to Euro 9.5 million approximately.

From the share capital increase referred to above, an amount of Euro 3,000 was booked for the payment of the nominal value of the shares and the remaining amount of Euro 4,997,000 was booked as share premium. The payment of the Euro 3,250,000 amount corresponding to the participation of MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) S.A. in the above share capital increase was effected on 7th March 2017.

On 20th June 2017 the Ordinary Resolution of the Shareholders of the company MOTOR OIL VEGAS UPSTREAM LIMITED decided a subsequent share capital increase in cash issuing additional 2,000 ordinary shares of nominal value Euro 1 each at a subscription price of Euro 2,000 each.

The payment of the Euro 2,600,000 amount corresponding to the participation of MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) S.A. in the above share capital increase was effected on 27th June 2017.

Following the corporate actions referred above, the share capital of MOTOR OIL VEGAS UPSTREAM LIMITED is Euro 10,000 divided into 10,000 ordinary shares of nominal value Euro 1 each. MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) S.A. owns 65% of the shares of MOTOR OIL VEGAS UPSTREAM LIMITED and the total amount it has injected through consecutive share capital increases amounts to Euro 7,800,000. MOTOR OIL VEGAS UPSTREAM LIMITED is based in Cyprus and its corporate objective is the exploration and production of potential new oil resources (upstream).

In April 2017 the wholly owned subsidiary of MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) S.A. under the legal name MOTOR OIL FINANCE PLC which is based in London priced its Euro 350 million Senior Notes due 2022 at a coupon of 3.250% per annum (the "Notes") and at an issue price of 99.433% of their nominal value. The notes are guaranteed on a senior basis by MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) S.A. and are traded on the Irish Stock Exchange's Global Exchange Market.

The proceeds of the Notes were used by MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) S.A., together with cash on hand, to redeem all of the MOTOR OIL FINANCE PLC Euro 350 million 5.125% Senior Notes due 2019, including payment of the applicable premium and accrued but unpaid interest.

In May 2017 MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) S.A. acquired the storage installations of REVOIL S.A.. The installations are located at the prefecture of New Karvali close to the city of Kavala. The value of the transaction was Euro 15 million payable in installments.

On 26th June 2017, MOTOR OIL VEGAS UPSTREAM LTD" (HELLAS) S.A. completed the acquisition of 100% of the shares of VEGAS WEST OBAYED LTD which is registered in Nicosia, Cyprus and its major objectives are crude oil research, exploration and trading (upstream). The amount paid was 1 USD.

During the period after 30th June 2017 up to the date of these financial statements, the Company has repaid part of its Long-Term bank loans, approximately Euro 142.3 million (including USD 41.5 million), which has led to a significant de-escalation of its bank liabilities.

There are no events that could have a material impact on the Group's and the Company's financial structure or operations that have occurred since 1/7/2017 up to the date of issue of these financial statements.

V. MAIN SOURCES OF UNCERTAINTY IN ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

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.

VΙ. 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 that are still in force, 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.

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 as of 30/6/2017 and 31/12/2016 was as follows:

GROUP COMPANY
(In 000's Euros) 30/06/2017 31/12/2016 30/06/2017 31/12/2016
Bank loans 1,138,647 1,183,838 806,530 857,329
Cash and cash equivalents (853,407) (800,285) (760,164) (688,735)
Net debt 285,240 383,553 46,366 168,594
Equity 874,200 824,060 752,287 706,675
Net debt to equity ratio 0.33 0.47 0.06 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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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 30/6/2017 amounted to Euro 23.7 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.

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 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.

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.

VII. QUALITY – ENVIRONMENT- HEALTH & SAFETY

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 2010-2016 according to the more recent European Regulation standard EMAS III 1221/2009. The year 2016 Environmental Statement was submitted to the MINISTRY OF PRODUCTIVE RECONSTRUCTION ENVIRONMENT & ENERGY in July 2017 bearing the Protocol Number 12588/17.07.2017.

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.

Νotes to the Condensed 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.

As at 30 June 2017 the number of employees, for the Group and the Company, was 2,153 and 1,228 respectively (30/6/2016: Group: 2,012 persons, Company: 1,186 persons).

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

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 2016 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 2016 except for the following:

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 not yet been endorsed by the EU 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.

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.

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

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 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 not yet been endorsed by the European Union. The Group will assess the impact of the standard 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 endorsed by the European Union. The Group will assess the impact of the standard in the Financial statements of the Group and the Company.

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. The Group will assess the impact of the standard in the Financial statements of the Group and the Company.

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

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 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.

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. 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.

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 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.

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

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.

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. Operating Segments

The major part of the Group's activities takes place in Greece, given that most Group Companies included in the consolidation, are based in Greece, while those having activities abroad are very few with limited operations for the time being.

All operational segments fall under one of three distinct activity categories: Refinery's Activities, Sales to/from Gas Stations and Services.

Segment information is presented in the following table:

21. 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.

21. Management of Financial Risks (continued)

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.

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 period end was as follows:

GROUP COMPANY
(In 000's Euros) 30/6/2017 31/12/2016 30/6/2017 31/12/2016
Bank loans 1,138,647 1,183,838 806,530 857,329
Cash and cash equivalents (853,407) (800,285) (760,164) (688,735)
Net debt 285,240 383,553 46,366 168,594
Equity 874,200 824,060 752,287 706,675
Net debt to equity ratio 0.33 0.47 0.06 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.

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.

21. Management of Financial Risks (continued)

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.

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 30/6/2017 amounted to Euro 23.7 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.

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 following tables present the Group's remaining contractual maturity for its financial liabilities:

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.

22. Events after the Reporting Period

During the period from 1 July 2017 up to the date of these financial statements the Company has paid part of its Long-Term bank debt of approx. € 142.3 million (including USD 41.5 million).

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 1/7/2017 up to the date of issue of these financial statements.

Report on Review of Interim Financial Information

To the Shareholders of MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) CORINTH REFINERIES S.A.

Introduction

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, 2017 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.

Scope of 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.

Conclusion

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.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

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.
