On the financial figures presented above we hereby note the following:
In principle, the turnover increase or decrease of oil refining and trading companies is mainly a combination of the following factors:
The industrial activity (refining) concerns sales of products produced in the refinery of the parent company while the trading activity concerns sales generated as a result of imports of finished products from the international market and their subsequent resale to customers in the domestic market and abroad. The Group has the flexibility to take full advantage of the favorable market conditions in the oil sector, whenever these arise, and it is in a position to respond to any exceptional or unpredictable conditions meeting the demand in the domestic and the international market with imports of products.

The breakdown of Group turnover by geographical market (Domestic – Foreign) and type of activity (Refining – Trading) as well as sales category in Metric Tons–Euros is presented hereunder:
In the fiscal 2016 the turnover of the Group decreased in value by Euro 703.4 million or 9.96% compared to the previous fiscal year. The decrease of the turnover of the Group is attributed to the decline of the average prices of petroleum products (denominated in US Dollars) by approximately 18% while part of the decrease was offset by the increase of the sales volume by 3.86% (from MT 13,615,675 in 2015 to ΜΤ 14,141,288 in 2016) and the marginal appreciation of the US Dollar against the Euro (average parity) by 0.23%.
Both in the fiscal 2016 and the fiscal 2015 the Group had revenues for services (storage fees) rendered by "OFC AVIATION FUEL SERVICES S.A.".
The breakdown of the consolidated sales volume confirms the solid exporting profile of the Group given that export and bunkering sales combined accounted for 74.16% of the aggregate sales volume of fiscal 2016 compared to 73.24% in the fiscal 2015, as well as the high contribution of refining activities (81.30% of the aggregate sales volume of fiscal 2016 compared to 85.81% in fiscal 2015).

In the fiscal 2016 the turnover of the Company amounted to Euro 4,511.9 million from Euro 5,276.5 million in 2015 which represents a decrease of 14.49%. This development of the turnover of the Company is attributed to the impact of the same parameters which influenced the development of the turnover at Group level and which have already been mentioned.
The breakdown of the Company sales volume confirms the solid exporting profile of the Refinery given that export and bunkering sales combined accounted for 77.85 % of the aggregate sales volume of the fiscal 2016 compared to 76.07% in the fiscal 2015, as well as the high contribution of refining activities (86.86% of the aggregate sales volume of the fiscal 2016 compared to 90.62% in the fiscal 2015).
It should be noted that during the period May – June 2016 a programmed turnaround of the Refinery process units was performed (reference is made in the section "Capital Expenditure") which explains the relatively lower contribution of the refining activities on the aggregate volume of sales in the fiscal 2016 compared to the fiscal 2015.
The international average prices of petroleum products (in US Dollars per Metric Ton) and the international average prices of the various types of crude (in US Dollars per barrel) during the period 2015 – 2016 are presented hereunder:

A breakdown of the aggregate volume of crude oil and other raw materials processed by the Company during fiscal 2016 compared to the respective volume processed during fiscal 2015 is presented next:
| Refinery Processed Volume |
MT 2016 |
MT 2015 |
|---|---|---|
| Crude | 8,962,136 | 9,133,771 |
| Fuel Oil raw material |
1,151,720 | 1,495,497 |
| Gas Oil |
1,839,719 | 1,637,260 |
| Other | 112,601 | 129,305 |
| Total | 12,066,177 | 12,395,833 |
It is apparent that the difference between the refinery processed volume and the refinery production volume concerns fuel consumption and loss. The lower production of the Refinery and the lower volume of crude oil and other raw materials processed by the Company in the fiscal 2016 compared to the fiscal 2015 is attributed to the programmed turnaround of the Refinery process units.
The Gross Profit (before depreciation) at Group level amounted to Euro 804,255 thousand in the fiscal 2016 compared to Euro 713,720 thousand in the previous fiscal year demonstrating an increase of 12.68%.
This development is attributed to the fact that the Cost of Sales (before depreciation) at consolidated level decreased at a significantly higher rate compared to the respective decrease rate of consolidated Turnover (12.51% versus 9.96%).
The breakdown of the Cost of Sales at consolidated level per type of activity (refining–trading– services) is presented hereunder:
| Amounts in thousand Euros | 2016 | 2015 |
|---|---|---|
| Refining | 3,398,557 | 4,123,263 |
| Trading | 2,149,572 | 2,219,064 |
| Services | 4,471 | 4,168 |
| Total Cost of Sales (before depreciation) | 5,552,600 | 6,346,495 |
The Gross Profit (before depreciation) at Company level amounted to Euro 540,465 thousand in the fiscal 2016 compared to Euro 484,593 thousand in the previous fiscal year representing an increase of 11.53%.
This development is attributed to the fact that the Cost of Sales (before depreciation) at Company level decreased at a significantly higher rate compared to the respective decrease rate of Company Turnover (17.12% versus 14.49%).
It is clarified the Gross Profit of the Company increased further in the fiscal 2016 subsequent to its sizeable increase in the fiscal 2015 on the back of the strong refining margins (the table presents the development of the Company Profit Margin in USD per Metric Ton for the fiscal years 2016 and 2015), the firmly strong USD against the Euro (average Euro/USD parity 2016: 1.1069 – 2015: 1.1095) and the positive impact of the inventory valuation (indicatively the price of Brent from USD 35.74/bbl on 31.12.2015 escalated to USD 54.94/bbl on 31.12.2016).
| Gross Profit Margin (US Dollars / Metric Τon) |
2016 | 2015 |
|---|---|---|
| Company Blended Profit Margin | 57.1 | 52.7 |
In the fiscal 2016 the operating expenses (administrative and selling) at Group level increased by Euro 14,345 thousand or 5.89% and at Company level by Euro 931 thousand or 1.34% compared to the fiscal 2015.
Other Operating Income (Expenses) is distinguished in two classes:
In the fiscal 2016 the Group recorded foreign exchange gains of Euro 21,942 thousand compared to foreign exchange losses of Euro 19,497 thousand in the fiscal 2015.
Likewise the Company recorded foreign exchange gains of Euro 21,175 thousand in 2016 compared to foreign exchange losses of Euro 19,561 thousand in 2015.
It should be noted that at operational level, the Company has chosen to deal with the issue of the movement of the Euro – US Dollar parity by funding its receivables with similar foreign currency exposure liabilities (reference is made in the section "foreign currency risk").
As regards other operating revenue, apart from foreign exchange differences that is, at Group level it amounted to Euro 35,247 thousand in the fiscal 2016 compared to Euro 41,435 thousand in the fiscal 2015 while at Company level it amounted to Euro 31,516 thousand in the fiscal 2016 compared to Euro 35,134 thousand in the fiscal 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 603,495 thousand in the fiscal 2016 from Euro 492,054 thousand in the fiscal 2015 (an increase of 22.65%) while the EBITDA of the Company came in at Euro 522,854 thousand in the fiscal 2016 from Euro 430,795 thousand in the fiscal 2015 (an increase of 21.37%).
The financial cost at Group level came in at Euro 76,268 thousand in the fiscal 2016 compared to Euro 88,914 thousand in the fiscal 2015 reduced by Euro 12,646 thousand or 14.22%. A breakdown of this variation is presented in the table below:

The corporate tax rate for the fiscal years 2016 and 2015 is 29% pursuant to the Law 4334 (Government Gazette A' 80/16.07.2015) which was passed by the Greek Parliament in July 2015.
For the fiscal years 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015, MOH group companies that were obliged to a tax compliance audit by the statutory auditors, have been audited by the appointed in accordance with the Codified Law 2190/1920 statutory auditors, as provided by article 82 of the Law 2238/1994 and article 65A of the Law 4174/13, who have issued the relevant Tax Compliance Certificates. In any case, and according to the Circular 1006/05.01.2016, these companies for which a Tax Compliance Certificate has been issued are not excluded from a further tax audit by the relevant tax authorities. Therefore, the tax authorities may perform a tax audit as well. However, the group's management believes that the outcome of such future audits, should these be performed, will not have a material impact on the financial position of the Group or the Company.Up to the date of approval of these financial statements, the group companies' tax audit by the statutory auditors for the fiscal year 2016 is in progress. No material liabilities are expected to arise from this tax audit.
The Earnings after Tax of the Group amounted to Euro 297,845 thousand in the fiscal 2016 compared to Earnings after Tax Euro 204,977 thousand in the fiscal 2015 (an increase of 45.31%).
The Earnings after Tax of the Company amounted to Euro 274,640 thousand in the fiscal 2016 compared to Earnings after tax Euro 201,104 thousand in the fiscal 2015 (an increase of 36.57%).
The closing price of the share of MOTOR OIL on 31 December 2016 was Euro 13.10 which is 31.66% higher compared to the closing price on 31 December 2015. At its highest, the price of the share reached Euro 13.48 (29 October 2016) and at its lowest it stood at Euro 8.13 (11 February 2016). The Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) of the share was Euro 10.25 which corresponds to a market capitalization of the Company of Euro 1,135.5 million. The market capitalization of the Company as at 31 December 2016 amounted to Euro 1,451.3 million.
Compared to the Athens Exchange (ATHEX) the share of MOTOR OIL outperformed the ATHEX Composite Index by a significant margin considering that the close of the latter as at 31 December 2016 was 643.64 units which is 1.95% higher than its respective close on 31 December 2015.
An average of 117,603 Company shares were traded daily which represents 0.11% on the number of outstanding Company shares and 0.20% on the number of Company shares regarded as free float. The average daily turnover amounted to Euro 1,205,837.
During the year 2016 as a whole 29,283,138 Company shares were traded which represents 26.43% on the number of outstanding Company shares and 49.80% on the number of Company shares regarded as free float.
The management of the Company consistent with the dividend maximization policy of its shareholders will propose at the upcoming Annual Ordinary General Assembly of Company shareholders the distribution of an amount totaling Euro 99,704,682 (or Euro 0.90 per share) as a dividend for the fiscal year 2016. It is noted that in December 2016 an amount of Euro 22,156,596 (or Euro 0.20 per share) was paid and recognized as an interim dividend for the fiscal year 2016, while the dividend remainder of Euro 0.70 per share will be recognised in the year 2017.
The proposed total amount of dividend per share for the fiscal year 2016 corresponds to a dividend yield of 6.87% based on the closing price of the share of the Company on 31 December 2016 and to a dividend yield of 8.78% based on the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) of the share of the Company.
It is noted that dividends are subject to a 15% tax withholding pursuant to the provisions of paragraph 11 of article 112 of the Law 4387/2016 (Government Gazette Α' 85/12.05.2016) as amended with the Law 4389/2016 (Government Gazette A' 94/27.05.2016).
The profitability of the companies engaging in the sector of "oil refining and marketing of petroleum products" is by and large dependent on the volume of sales as well as on the refining margins and the Euro – US Dollar parity. The last two parameters are formed, to a great extent, at international level and hence it is practically impossible to make secure estimates a regards their future development.
With reference to the volume of sales the domestic demand figures per product category (in thousand Metric Tons) during the 2012-2016 period are presented hereunder:
| Product Category | 2012 | 2013 | 2014 | 2015 | 2016 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lubricants | 84 | 112 | 90 | 82 | 79 |
| Asphalt | 99 | 126 | 159 | 154 | 190 |
| LPG | 386 | 425 | 438 | 473 | 494 |
| Jet Kero / A1 (Aviation Fuels) | 964 | 967 | 1,074 | 1,102 | 1,173 |
| Gasoline | 2,898 | 2,670 | 2,524 | 2,458 | 2,420 |
| Fuel Oil | 3,696 | 3,265 | 3,097 | 2,955 | 2,801 |
| Gasoils / Diesels | |||||
| Heating Gasoil | 1,924 | 935 | 968 | 1,389 | 1,200 |
| Automotive Diesel | 2,352 | 2,519 | 2,635 | 2,729 | 2,824 |
| Bunker Gasoil | 537 | 540 | 563 | 630 | 650 |
| TOTAL | 12,939 | 11,560 | 11,547 | 11,972 | 11,830 |
| % Variation over previous year | -13.4% | -10.7% | -0.1% | 3.7% | -1.2% |
From the data presented above it is concluded that the aggregate domestic demand after a diminishing rate retreat in the year 2013, stabilized in the year 2014, increased in the year 2015 (for the first time since the year 2006) and eased in the year 2016 at 11.8 million Metric Tons which is 1.2% lower compared to the year 2015. Over the five year period 2011-2016 domestic demand cumulatively fell by 23.8% and over the ten year period 2006-2016 domestic demand cumulatively fell by 40.3%.
In the last three years a small increase of demand for air carrier services and for bunker gasoil it is noted, attributed to the increased number of tourist arrivals, while the continued increase of LPG demand is accounted for by the use of autogas as alternative fuel for vehicles because of the increase of the Special Consumption Tax applied on gasoline prices (please see below).
The reduction of the consumption of gasoline started in the year 2010 following the increase of the Special Consumption Tax (from € 410/MT to € 670/MT) and continues up until today because of the reduction of the disposable income combined with the increased number of diesel engine new car registrations. The increase in the number of diesel engine car registrations was the result of the reduction of the Special Consumption Tax which took effect in 2012 (from € 412/MT to € 330/MT) in conjunction with the decision by the Greek Government to lift the prohibition regarding the circulation of diesel engine cars in Athens and Thessaloniki which are the most populated cities in Greece. In the years 2015 and 2016 the increase of automotive diesel consumption volume wise exceeded the reduction of gasoline consumption.
Turning to Heating Gasoil the Special Consumption Tax was increased in 2012 (from € 60 to € 330/MT) leading to a sizable decrease in consumption as households turned to alterative means for heating. In October 2014 the Special Consumption Tax was reduced to € 230/MT a fact which contributed to a moderate increase of consumption in the year 2014 (the increase of consumption is attributed mostly to the increased sales effected in the October – December 2014 period) and a notable increase of consumption in the year 2015 (the consumption data concern the full winter season comprised of the January – April 2015 & October – December 2015 periods). In the year 2016 the consumption of Heating Gasoil declined again due to the higher price of the end product from 15th October 2016 onwards following the increase of the Special Consumption Tax to € 280/MT combined with the increase of the V.A.T. rate to 24% (from 23% previously) effected since 1st June 2016 pursuant to the Law 4389/2016 (Government Gazette A' 94/27.5.2016).
The weakening demand for fuel oil is partly attributed to the recession woes of the domestic industrial sector and partly to its substitution for natural gas (natural gas penetration).

The decline of the market share of MOTOR OIL in the year 2015 compared to the year 2014 is accounted for by the reduced sales of fuel oil to "PUBLIC POWER CORPORATION S.A." while the decline of the market share in the year 2016 compared to the year 2015 is accounted for by the absence of aviation fuel sales (such sales are effected by the Company only on an occasional basis in the domestic market) as well as the reduced sales to PPC. The above explain the lower domestic sales volume generated by the Company over the last couple of years.
Taking advantage of its exporting orientation, MOTOR OIL managed to fully offset the reduction of its domestic sales volume by generating combined volume of product sales (domestic, exports) amounting to 13,042 thousand Metric tons in 2016 which is a historic high for the Company exceeding significantly the annual production capacity of its Refinery. This fact has particular importance considering that the programmed turnaround of the Refinery process units was completed in the year 2016 (reference is made in the section "Capital Expenditure").
It is hereby noted that, as a representative of the energy sector, the Company is treated with priority by the Banking Transactions Approval Committee of the Greek Ministry of Economy regarding the purchase of crude oil and of raw materials from abroad so as to secure the sufficiency of the Country with reference to petroleum products. Moreover, through its exports which historically constitute the majority of its sales, the Company is in a position to finance the purchases of crude oil further securing the uninterrupted supply of its Refinery with raw material, without being affected by the capital controls imposed in Greece.
The development of the blended profit margin of the Company in US Dollars per Metric Ton for the fiscal years 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 is presented next.
| Gross Profit Margin (US Dollars / Metric Τon) | 2012 | 2013 | 2014 | 2015 | 2016 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Company Blended Profit Margin |
41.3 | 29.0 | 20.6 | 52.7 | 57.1 |
The primary objectives of the Company for the following years are, firstly, to keep delivering healthy profit margins at the top end of the sector on the back of the higher contribution of the industrial activity utilizing the production flexibility of its technologically advanced Refinery, and, secondly, to enhance its market share based on the contribution of its quality retail station networks (AVIN, CORAL & CYCLON).
Lastly, as regards the development of Euro – US Dollar parity it is noted that the Company follows a physical hedging policy (reference is made in the section "foreign currency risk").
In fiscal 2016 the capital expenditure of the Company amounted to Euro 58.3 million the most sizeable part of which (approximately 45%) 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. Total capital expenditure for the Group for fiscal 2016 amounted to Euro 87.9 million.
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 enhance 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.
For the fiscal 2017 the Company's capital expenditure is estimated at Euro 55 million which is regarded as a representative figure considering the current size of the Refinery.

There are no other events significantly influencing the financial structure or business course of the Group until the time of the writing of the present report.
The preparation of the financial statements presumes that various estimations and assumptions are made by the Group's management which possibly affect the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the required disclosures for contingent assets and liabilities as well as the amounts of income and expenses recognized. The use of adequate information and the subjective judgment used are basic for the estimates made for the valuation of assets, liabilities derived from employees benefit plans, impairment of receivables, unaudited tax years and pending legal cases. The estimations are important but not restrictive. The actual future events may differ than the above estimations. The major sources of uncertainty in accounting estimations by the Group's management, concern mainly the legal cases and the financial years not audited by the tax authorities, as described in detail in note 30 of the financial statements.
Other sources of uncertainty relate to the assumptions made by the management regarding the employee benefit plans such as payroll increase, remaining years to retirement, inflation rates etc. and other sources of uncertainty is the estimation for the useful life of fixed assets. The above estimations and assumptions are based on the up to date experience of the management and are revaluated so as to be up to date with the current market conditions.
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, management considers the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital.

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 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.
Had the current interest rates been 50 basis points higher/lower, all other variables kept constant, the Group's profit for the year ended 31 December 2016 could have decreased/increased by approximately € 6.5 million.
The Group's credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade and other receivables.
The Group's trade receivables are characterized by a high degree of concentration, due to a limited number of customers comprising the clientele of the parent Company. Most of the customers are international well known oil companies. Consequently, the credit risk is limited to a great extent. The Group companies have signed contracts with their clients, based on the course of the international oil prices. In addition the Group, as a policy, obtains letters of guarantee from its clients in order to secure its receivables, which as at 31/12/2016 amounted to Euro 21.5 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, maintaining also increased cash balances. 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.
The commitment of the Group to the fulfilment of its main goal, which includes its involvement in the wider energy sector catering for the needs of the society while contributing to the economic and community prosperity, respecting the principles of Sustainable Development and minimizing the impact on the environment resulting from its operations, is reflected by its Policy for Quality, Environmental Protection and Health & Safety.
From the beginning of its operations MOTOR OIL has focused its efforts on the production of products of high quality standards having as a main objective to fulfill the needs of its customers. The aim of the Company is to provide reliable and quality products to its customers by the means of a universal motivation of its management while proactively dealing with potential problems before these arise.
For the above mentioned reasons, in 1992 the Company initiated action to develop a Quality Assurance System covering all its activities meeting the requirements of the ISO 9002 standard. In December 1993 the system was certified by Bureau Veritas Certification (BV Cert.). Since then, the Quality System has become an integral part of MOTOR OIL operations.
In January 2003 MOTOR OIL received by the same company the accreditation according to the requirements of the (at the time) new standard ISO 9001:2000 for its Quality Management System. In November 2009 the system was certified according to the new version of the standard ISO 9001:2008 with validity until February 2012 when its certification was renewed with validity until February 2015. In December 2014, within the context of the simultaneous evaluation of Company certifications, the ISO 9001:2008 standard was recertified with validity until December 2017.
The commitment of the Company management as well as its personnel to the continuous development of quality 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 and validity until September 2010. Since then, the validity of the accreditation was extended until September 2014 when it was extended once more until September 2018.
The adoption of methods and procedures that protect the environment comprise top priority for MOTOR OIL. The Refinery operation conforms to the environmental terms set by the Ministry of Environment Urban Planning & Public Works and the Ministry of Development for the granting of operation license. Furthermore, the Refinery operation is fully harmonized with the most stringent international standards for environmental protection adopting the most advanced processing methods causing the minimum environmental harm possible. The Refinery Environmental Management System (EMS) was certified by Bureau Veritas Certification (BV Cert.) according to the ISO 14001:1996 initially in December 2000 and since 2004 according to the more stringent standard ISO 14001:2004.
Following the EMS recertification in January 2013, the validity of the certificate was extended until January 2016. In December 2014, within the context of the simultaneous evaluation of Company certifications already mentioned, the Company EMS was recertified with validity until December 2017.
Furthermore, since July 2007 and given the commitment of the Company to continuous improvement of environmental management and dissemination of information regarding the impact of its operations on the environment, MOTOR OIL has voluntarily and beyond any legal obligation adopted the European Regulation (ER) 761/2001 EMAS (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme) verified by Bureau Veritas and proceeded with the issuance of an annual Environmental Statement. The annual Environmental Statements for the fiscal years 2006 – 2009 were compiled based on the EMAS II 761/2001 regulation while those for the fiscal years 2010 – 2015 were compiled based on the more recent EMAS III 1221/2009 regulation. The annual Environmental Statements EMAS which through appropriate indices and measurements pertaining to the refining sector offer a thorough assessment of the environmental performance of the Refinery as well a detailed description of the Emergency Plans set out by the Company, their effectiveness is displayed by the absence of environmental incidents / accidents, are available in electronic form through the Company's website www.moh.gr at the particular option Environment & Society / Environment and Sustainable Development / EMAS Environmental Statements and in print form through the Integrated Management Systems Section of the Refinery. MOTOR OIL is registered in the European System of Eco-Management and Audit Scheme while its Refinery is registered in the Hellenic Register of EMAS Registered Organizations.
The triple combination of certifications, ISO 14001:2004 & EMAS (for the environment) and ISO 9001:2008 (for quality), is of the utmost importance and is only met in a handful of European refineries such high degree of complexity as that of the Refinery of MOTOR OIL.
MOTOR OIL has been committed to incorporate the Health and Safety requirements in its planning, decision making and Refinery operation always considering all Stakeholders.
Within the context of this commitment the Health & Safety Management of the Refinery was revised thoroughly and was certified by Bureau Veritas Certification (BV Cert.) according to the international standard OHSAS 18001:2007 in December 2008. This certification initially had a three year validity. In December 2011 the OHSAS 18001:2007 was recertified with validity until December 2014 when it was recertified with validity until December 2017.
Personnel relations are at a particularly good level. The Company not only complies with the legal requirements, relating to worker participation and the protection of human rights, but also aims to cultivate mutual trust and co-operation. It operates a progressive system of human resources management policies, which enshrines clarity and fairness in matters of recruitment, transfers, promotion, remuneration, education and training, benefits, holidays and other types of leave of absence. The terms and conditions of employment are covered by a collective labor agreement approved by the Ministry of Labor. Refinery employees are unionized, the Union being a signatory to a collective labor agreement with the Federation of Greek Industries since 1986. In 2006 the Company and the Union of Refinery Employees jointly established a supplementary operational employment contractual agreement which they renew each year.
The approach of the Company to a salary policy is to set, manage and review salary levels in a consistent, transparent and objective way. The Company offers competitive and performance-linked remuneration packages.
Besides the basic pay and benefits package, the Company provides to its employees and their families a wide range of discretionary non-wage benefits. These benefits aim to cater for the employees' welfare and insurance beyond the requirements set out by the Law, to strengthen their bonds with the Company, to cultivate cooperation and team spirit, and to assist them to achieve a healthy work/life balance. Among the benefits introduced on the Company's initiative are:
It is recognized that in such a globalized and highly specialized sector as the one of oil refining and trading, the growth prospects of the Company and the implementation of its business policy are closely associated with the development of the skills and abilities of its employees. To this end, providing training to personnel with regard to aspects of professional skills and personal development is a matter of paramount importance for which the Company allocates significant resources both in terms of money and time. The Company training policy aims to ensure that the educational background and personal skills of each employee suit the requirements of his/her job position the ultimate objective being to provide continuous, responsible, flexible and complete professional training.
Each year MOTOR OIL compiles a Sustainability Report which describes in detail, through representative to the refining sector indices and measurements, all activities of the Group relating to its commitment to the Environment, Health & Safety and Employees. These Sustainability Reports also provide an analysis regarding the allocation of the Social Product among selected stakeholder groups: Personnel, State, Shareholders, Banks, Suppliers (not including suppliers of crude oil, other raw materials and finished products), Society at large (donations and sponsorships) as well as expenditure for Health & Safety and the Environment, insurance premium for Company installations and premises, repairs and preventive maintenance. The Sustainability Reports are available in electronic form through the Company website www.moh.gr at the particular option Environment & Society / Sustainability Reports and in print from through the Communication, Corporate Affairs and SCR Section.

The present statement that has been compiled according to the provisions of the Law 4403/2016 (Government Gazette Α' 125/7.7.2016) forms part of the Report of the Board of Directors of the year 2016 of "MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) S.A." as a separate section of it and it is available through the Company's website, www.moh.gr.
Part of the information included in the topics that follow is included in the Report of the Board of Directors and the Notes of the year 2016 Financial Statements of "MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) S.A.".
a) The legal framework governing the operation of "MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) S.A." and defining its obligations as a company having its registered address in Greece is comprised by Law 2190/1920 on "Societés Anonymes" as this Law is in force following its occasional amendments. Apart from Law 2190/1920, issues such as the objectives of the Company, its corporate goals, its duration, the responsibilities of the Board of Directors and of the General Assemblies, the appointment of Certified Auditors, the liquidation and dissolution of the Company are set at its "Company Memorandum & Articles of Association", available on its website. As a Company the shares of which are listed on the Athens Stock Exchange, "MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) S.A." is under additional obligations pertaining to the specific areas of corporate governance, dissemination of information to the investment community and the supervisory authorities, the publication of financial statements etc. The fundamental law that stipulates and imposes the additional obligations is the Law 3016/2002 (Government Gazette Α' 110/17.5.2002), a copy of which is also available on the Company website. Moreover, the Athens Stock Exchange Regulation, available on the website of Hellenic Exchanges Group www.helex.gr, clearly sets forth the obligations of listed companies in conformity to the decisions of the Board of Directors of the Athens Stock Exchange. Lastly, the introduction of Law 3693/2008 (Government Gazette Α' 174/25.8.2008) made mandatory for all listed companies the establishment of an Audit Committee.
The Board of Directors of "MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) S.A." compiled, customized and approved the Corporate Governance Code (CGC) of the Company on March 31st , 2011. This deadline was set by the Hellenic Capital Market Commission with a relevant recommendation sent to all companies with shares listed on the Athens Stock Exchange. Since then, following amendments of the Company Memorandum & Articles of Association as well as additional changes relating to the organization chart of the Company and the composition of its Board, the initial CGC has been revised four times. The Board approval dates of the revised CGC were August 1st, 2011, January 25th, 2012, January 30th, 2015 and January 25th, 2016 respectively. All versions of the Corporate Governance Code of the Company have been submitted to the Hellenic Capital Market Commission. The present Corporate Governance Code of the Company with the indication "January 2016" is available through the Company's website at the particular option "About MOH / Corporate Governance".
b) No practices additional to those provided by the law are applied as the Board of "MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) S.A." deems the existing institutional and regulatory framework in place in our country as fully adequate. It must be stressed that the Company fulfilled
requirements introduced by the Law 3016/2002 prior to the listing of its shares on the Athens Stock Exchange, such as, indicatively and not exhaustively, the Internal Audit Department (in operation since 1990) as well as the Audit and Remuneration Committees (since 1996). In addition, the balance between executive and non-executive members of the Board of Directors in the case of "MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) S.A." existed before the Law 3016/2002 took effect. Each section of "MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) S.A." Corporate Governance Code (for example: Board of Directors, Remuneration Policy, General Meetings etc.) apart from general reference to the institutional, regulatory and legal framework governing the operation of the Company, offers a brief description of the "best practices of corporate governance" followed by the Company on a timely basis.
c) With reference to the way of function of the Internal Control and Risk Management – ICRM – Systems of the Company in relation to the process of preparation of Company financial statements, it is hereby mentioned that the reporting system of "MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) S.A." utilizes a professional and highly advanced software for reporting to the top management of the Company and to external users. Comprehensive Income and Financial Position Statements along with other relevant analyses are reported to top management on a monthly basis and are prepared on a stand alone and consolidated basis for management and statutory reporting purposes in accordance to IFRS and the pertaining regulations on a quarterly basis. Both management and statutory reporting include all the necessary information pertinent to an up-to-date controlling system, including sales, costs, operating profit and other details. All management reports include current period data which are compared to the budget that was approved by the BoD and to the Previous Year comparative reporting period. All the statutory interim and year end reporting financial statements are prepared in accordance to IFRS, include all the necessary financial information and disclosures according to IFRS, are respectively reviewed by the Audit Committee and duly approved by the BoD as a whole.
d) The total number of shares issued by "MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) S.A." are 110,782,980 with a nominal value of Euro 0.75 per share. All shares are common registered shares and besides these no other securities exist, embodying rights to Company control. Each share embodies the right of one vote in the General Assemblies (see next section "ee"). The major shareholder of the Company is the entity under the legal name "Petroventure Holdings Limited" which holds 40.00% of the voting rights of "MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) S.A.". The holding company under the legal name "Motor Oil Holdings Ltd" is the controlling shareholder of "Petroventure Holdings Limited". "Motor Oil Holdings Ltd" directly holds 1.49% of the voting rights of MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) S.A. (based on Share Register data as of December 31st, 2016). Consequently, "Motor Oil Holdings Ltd" controls on aggregate (directly and indirectly) 41.49% of the voting rights of MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) S.A. The Company shares are traded on the Athens Stock Exchange and there are no restrictions to their transferability, there are no shareholders with special control rights nor are there any restrictions on voting rights. Furthermore, there are no agreements according to the provisions of article 11a of Law 3371/2005, cases (i) and (j), (i.e., material agreements put in force, revised or terminated in case of change in the control of the Company as a result of a public offer as well as agreements with BoD members or Company personnel that provide for compensation in case of retirement without material reason or termination of their term or
employment as a result of public offer). Furthermore, it is noted that the BoD or its members have no authority on matters of share capital increase, issuance of new shares or purchase of treasury shares. The authority on the above mentioned matters lies with the General Assembly of the Shareholders of "MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) S.A.". Amending the Company Memorandum and Articles of Association of "MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) S.A." requires a 2/3 quorum of the paid up share capital of the Company and a decision supported by a 2/3 majority of the present or represented shareholders.
The General Assembly Meetings of the Shareholders of "MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) S.A." are convened in accordance with the provisions of Law 3884/2010 (Government Gazette Α' 168/24.9.2010). As standard practice the notice to the shareholders is released earlier than the 20 day deadline prior to the General Assembly meeting stipulated by the Codified Law 2190/1920 while the article 39 excerpts on minority rights (paragraphs 2, 2a, 4 and 5 of the Codified Law 2190/1920), the comments of the Board of Directors on the items on the agenda, the forms – of – proxy for representation at the General Assembly and the number of Company shares with the corresponding number of voting rights are available on the Company website. Due to the absence of a relevant provision in the Company Memorandum & Articles of Association, electronic or remote participation and voting at the General Assembly or a possible Repeat Assembly is not feasible. By the same token, due to lack of any relevant provision in the Company Memorandum & Articles of Association, the Company does not accept electronic acknowledgments of appointments of shareholder representatives and their revocations. According to article 23 of the Company Memorandum & Articles of Association, the General Assembly of the shareholders is the supreme authority of the Company and is entitled to deliberate on any Company affair or matter. Moreover, the same article provides that the General Assembly is the only authoritative body entitled to deliberate on issues such as, indicatively and not exhaustively, amendments to the Company Memorandum & Articles of Association, election of new BoD members, any increase or decrease of the Company share capital, appointment of Certified Auditors, approval of annual financial statements and distribution of Company earnings, issue of bonds and bond loans1 . In as much as the General Assembly is convened in conformity to the provisions of Company Memorandum & Articles of Association, its decisions are binding on all shareholders, including those absent and those dissenting. The General Assembly of Company Shareholders convenes regularly once for every fiscal year until the tenth (10th) calendar day of the ninth month following the end of the fiscal year at the latest (Law 4403/2016) and extraordinarily whenever the BoD deems necessary. Shareholders may participate in the General Assembly meeting either in person or through a representative, provided the relevant transcripts are submitted to the Company at the latest three (3) days prior to the General Assembly meeting. Shareholders who do not send to the Company the relevant documents within the above deadline participate in the General Assembly only by the latter's permission. Participation in the General Assembly meeting does not require the prior blocking of shares. Shareholder status is verified through a relevant certificate issued by "Hellenic Central Securities Depository - HCSD." and by means of the electronic file listing all shareholders entitled to participate and vote at the General Assembly meeting which "MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) S.A." receives from "HCSD". The General Assembly is at a quorum and lawfully

The notes on pages 8-50 are an integral part of these Financial Statements.
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 6.1%.
These financial statements are presented in Euro because that is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group operates.
As at 31 December 2016 the number of employees, for the Group and the Company, was 2,017 and 1,190 respectively (31/12/2015: Group: 2,008 persons, Company: 1,191 persons).
New standards, amendments of existing standards and interpretations: Specifically new standards, amendment to existing standards and interpretations have been issued, which are obligatory for accounting periods beginning during the present fiscal year or at a future time, and have an impact in the Group's financial data. The Group's appraisal regarding the effects from adopting new standards, amendment to existing standards and interpretations is analyzed below.
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.
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 not yet 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 not yet 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 not yet 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 not yet 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.
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 2016. The amendments have been endorsed by the E.U. on February 2017.
Deletes the short-term exemptions in paragraphs E3–E7 of IFRS 1, because they have now served their intended purpose
Clarifies the scope of the standard by specifying that the disclosure requirements in the standard, except for those in paragraphs B10–B16, apply to an entity's interests listed in paragraph 5 that are classified as held for sale, as held for distribution or as discontinued operations in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.
Clarifies that the election to measure at fair value through profit or loss an investment in an associate or a joint venture that is held by an entity that is a venture capital organisation, or other qualifying entity, is available for each investment in an associate or joint venture on an investment-by-investment basis, upon initial recognition.
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.
IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" (applies to annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018)
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.
The principal accounting policies adopted which are consistent with those of the prior year are set out below:
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) which are effective at the date of preparing these financial statements as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and adopted by the European Union (EU).
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and the entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries) at the end of each respective year. Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an investee entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
On acquisition, the assets and liabilities and contingent liabilities of a subsidiary are measured at their fair values at the date of acquisition. Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired is recognized as goodwill. Any deficiency of the cost of acquisition below the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired (i.e. discount on acquisition) is credited to profit and loss in the year of acquisition.
The accounting policies of the subsidiaries are in line with those used by the parent Company.
All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.
An associate is an entity over which the Group is in a position to exercise significant influence, but not control or joint control, through participation in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee. The results, assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in these financial statements using the equity method of accounting unless these investments are classified as available for sale. Investments in associates are carried in the Statement of Financial Position at cost as adjusted by post-acquisition changes in the Group's share of the net assets of the associate, less any impairment in the value of individual investments. Losses of the associates in excess of the Group's interest in those associates are not recognized.
Profits or losses arising on transactions among associates and companies included in the consolidated accounts are eliminated to the extent of the Group's share in the associates. Losses may be an indication of impairment of the asset, in which case a relevant provision is accounted for.
Investments in subsidiaries and associates are stated in the Company's stand alone Statement of Financial Position at cost and are subject to impairment testing.
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts, VAT and sales related taxes.
Revenue is recognized when goods are delivered and/or ownership has passed.
Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset's net carrying amount.
Dividend income from investments is recognized when the shareholders' rights to receive payment have been established.
Rental income from operating leases is recognized in accordance with the lease agreements as it is considered a more representative method of recognizing the respective income.
The subsidiaries "AVIN OIL S.A.", "CORAL Α.Ε." and "CORAL GAS A.E.B.E.Y.", lease under long-term operating leases (approx. at least 9 years), immovable property for use as gas stations, which in turn are subleased to physical/legal persons for a corresponding period for the operation of fuel and lubricants stations under the "AVIN", "SHELL", "CYCLON", "CORAL" and "CORAL GAS" trademarks.
Assets held under finance leases are recognized as assets of the Group at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the Statement of Financial Position as a finance lease obligation.
Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged to profit or loss, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalized in accordance with the Group's general policy on borrowing costs (see below).
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to profit or loss and recognized in accordance with the lease agreements as it is considered a more representative method of recognizing the respective expense.
In preparing the financial statements of the individual entities, transactions in currencies other than the entity's functional currency (foreign currencies) are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At each Statement of Financial Position date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the Statement of Financial Position date.
Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the retranslation of monetary items, are included in profit or loss for the year.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.
All other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the year in which they are incurred.
Government grants towards staff re-training costs are recognized as income over the years necessary to match them with the related costs and are deducted from the related expense.
Government grants relating to property, plant and equipment are treated as deferred income and released to profit and loss over the expected useful lives of the assets concerned.
Payments to defined contribution retirement plans are charged as an expense as they fall due. Payments made to state-managed retirement benefit schemes are dealt with as payments to defined contribution plans where the Group's obligations under the plans are equivalent to those arising in a defined contribution retirement benefit plan.
For defined benefit retirement benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at each year end Statement of Financial Position. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized in Other Comprehensive income in the year in which they are incurred.
Past service cost is recognized immediately in the profit or loss to the extent that the benefits are already vested, and otherwise is amortised on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested.
The retirement benefit obligation recognized in the Statement of Financial Position represents the present value of the defined benefit obligation as reduced by the fair value of plan assets.
The tax expense represents the sum of the current tax expense and deferred tax expense, plus any additional tax from the prior years' tax audit.
The current tax expense is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the Statement of Comprehensive Income because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group's current tax expense is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or will be enacted by the Statement of Financial Position date.
Deferred tax is recognized on differences, between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit and is accounted for using the Statement of Financial Position liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the tax profit nor the accounting profit. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, and interests in joint ventures, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each Statement of Financial Position date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the liability is settled or the asset is realized. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the Statement of Comprehensive Income, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
Goodwill arising on the acquisition of a subsidiary or a jointly controlled entity represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group's interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the subsidiary or jointly controlled entity recognized at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is initially recognized as an asset at cost and is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group's cash-generating units expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment at each Statement of Financial Position date, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount of the unit, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period.
On disposal of a subsidiary or a jointly controlled entity, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal.
Expenditure on research activities is recognized as an expense in the year in which it is incurred.
An internally-generated intangible asset arising from the Group's development is recognized only if all of the following conditions are met:
Internally-generated intangible assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over their useful lives. Where no internally-generated intangible asset can be recognized, development expenditure is recognized as an expense in the year in which it is incurred.
Subsequent to initial recognition, internally-generated intangible assets are reported at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets acquired separately.
Other intangible assets include Group's software, the rights to operate gas stations on property leased by the subsidiaries "Avin Oil S.A.", "CORAL Α.Ε." and "CORAL GAS A.E.B.E.Y." the Company's emission rights and furthermore, Service Concession Arrangements for the subsidiary "OFC Aviation Fuel Services S.A.".
These assets are initially recorded at acquisition cost and then amortised, using the straight-line method, based on expected useful lives in respect of software, and in respect of leasing/emission rights, over the year the Group entitled to the rights.
The useful life of these assets is noted bellow:
| Useful life | |
|---|---|
| Intangible assets |
(years) |
| Software | 3 – 8 |
| Leasing Rights (average) | 10 |
| Service Concession Arrangements | 21 |
The estimated useful lives of intangible assets, residual values if any and depreciation method are reviewed on a frequent basis, with the effect of any changes in estimate to be accounted for on a prospective basis.
Land and buildings held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes, are stated in the Statement of Financial Position at cost less any subsequent accumulated depreciation.
Assets under construction for production, rental or administrative purposes, or for purposes not yet determined, are carried at cost, less any recognized impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and, for qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalized in accordance with the Group's accounting policy. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other property assets, commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.
Fixtures and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any recognized impairment loss.
Fixed assets under finance leases are depreciated over the same useful lives as the Group owned fixed assets or if shorter over the year as per the finance lease contract.
Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets, other than land and properties under construction, over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method, on the following bases:
| Fixed Asset category | Useful life |
|---|---|
| (years) | |
| Land | Indefinite |
| Buildings | 5-40 |
| Plant & machinery | 7-33 |
| Transportation equipment | 7-20 |
| Fixtures and equipment | 4-33 |
The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed on a frequent basis, with the effect of any changes in estimate to be accounted for on a prospective basis.
The gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an asset is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss.
Emission Rights are accounted under the net liability method, based on which the Company recognizes a liability for emissions when the emissions are made and are in excess of the allowances allocated. Emission Rights acquired in excess of those required to cover the relevant shortages are recognized as expenses. Profit and/or loss arising on sale of emission rights is recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
The Company is a member of ΙOPC Fund (International Oil Pollution Compensation Fund) an international organization for the protection of the environment from oil pollution. The Company is obliged to pay contributions to this organization in case of a relevant accident. These liabilities are accounted for according to IAS 37 "Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets" while any refund is accounted for upon receipt.
The Group applies a Customer Loyalty Programme concerning retail sales through gas stations. Retail customers collect bonus points thru purchase of goods and services, which they may then cash to get free gifts based on specific catalogs. The Group applies IFRIC 13 "Customer Loyalty Programmes" accounting for the income from the transaction when the bonus points are cashed and the Group completes its granting obligation. The bonus points valuation granted by the Group from the rewarding of the customer loyalty programme is done at fair value based on a generally accepted method. The cost from the cash of the bonus points is charged in the cost of goods sold.
At each Statement of Financial Position date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from other assets, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized as an expense immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized as income immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost comprises direct materials and where applicable, direct labor costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized on the Group's Statement of Financial Position when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Trade receivables are mostly interest free and are stated at their nominal value as reduced by appropriate allowances for estimated irrecoverable amounts.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits with original maturity of 3 months or less.
Investments in unlisted equity shares are classified as available for sale and are stated at cost as their fair value cannot be reliably estimated. Dividends on AFS equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when the Group's right to receive the dividends is established.
Investments in listed companies' shares are classified as short-term available for sale and are valuated at the listed price at the reporting date. Dividends on AFS shares are recognized in profit or loss when the Group's right to receive the dividends is established. Any profit or loss from sale or from valuation of these shares is recognised in profit or loss for the year.
Interest-bearing bank loans and overdrafts are recorded according to the amounts received, net of direct issue costs. Finance charges, including premiums payable on settlement or redemption and direct issue costs, are accounted for on an accrual basis to the profit and loss account using effective interest method and are added to the carrying amount of the instrument to the extent that they are not settled in the year in which they arise.
Trade payables are interest free and are stated at their nominal value.
Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that the Group will be required to settle that obligation. Provisions are measured at the Group management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the Statement of Financial Position date, and are discounted to present value where the effect is material.
Provisions for restructuring costs, if any, are recognized only when the entity has developed a detailed formal plan for the restructuring and have announced details of plan to the involved parties. The measurement of a restructuring provision includes only the direct expenditures arising from the restructuring, which are those amounts that are both necessarily entailed by the restructuring and not associated with the ongoing activities of the entity.
The preparation of the financial statements presumes that various estimations and assumptions are made by the Group's management which possibly affect the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the required disclosures for contingent assets and liabilities as well as the amounts of income and expenses recognized. The use of adequate information and the subjective judgment used are basic for the estimates made for the valuation of assets, liabilities derived from employees benefit plans, impairment of receivables, unaudited tax years and pending legal cases. The estimations are important but not restrictive. The actual future events may differ than the above estimations. The major sources of uncertainty in accounting estimations by the Group's management, concern mainly the legal cases and the financial years not audited by the tax authorities, as described in detail in note 30.
Other sources of uncertainty relate to the assumptions made by the management regarding the employee benefit plans such as payroll increase, remaining years to retirement, inflation rates etc. and other sources of uncertainty is the estimation for the useful life of fixed assets. The above estimations and assumptions are based on the up to date experience of the management and are revaluated so as to be up to date with the current market conditions.

The provision for doubtful trade receivables has increased during 2016 by € 9,328 thousand in the subsidiaries books to cover additional bad debts.

In determining the recoverability of trade receivables, the Group considers any change in the credit quality of the trade receivable from the date credit was initially granted up to the reporting date. The concentration of credit risk is limited due to the customers' wide base. Accordingly, the management considers that there is no further credit provision required in excess of the existing allowance for doubtful debts.
Management considers that the carrying amount of trade and other receivables approximates their fair value.
Cash and cash equivalents consist from cash and short term deposits of initial duration of three months or less. The book value for cash and cash equivalents approximates their fair value.

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

The Group ´s obligations to its employees in relation to the future payment of benefits in proportion to their time of service are based on an actuarial study. This liability is computed and presented in the Statement of Financial Position date based on the expected vested benefit of every employee. The vested benefit is presented at its present value based on expected date of payment.
The Group operates funded defined benefit plans for eligible employees who work for "Motor Oil (Hellas) S.A." and its subsidiary "L.P.C. S.A.".

In addition the Group is obligated to pay retirement compensation to its employees in accordance with Law 2112/1920, based on the above mentioned rights and retirement age limits. No other postretirement benefits are provided.
The most recent actuarial valuations of plan assets and the present value of the defined benefit obligation as well as of the obligation for retirement compensation to personnel were carried out at 31 December 2015 by an independent certified actuary. The present value of the defined benefit obligations, and the related current service cost, were measured using the projected unit credit method.

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 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 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.
Had the current interest rates been 50 basis points higher/lower, all other variables kept constant, the Group's profit for the year ended 31 December 2016 could have decreased/increased by approximately € 6.5 million.
The Group's credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade and other receivables.
The Group's trade receivables are characterized by a high degree of concentration, due to a limited number of customers comprising the clientele of the parent Company. Most of the customers are international well known oil companies. Consequently, the credit risk is limited to a great extent. The Group companies have signed contracts with their clients, based on the course of the international oil prices. In addition the Group, as a policy, obtains letters of guarantee from its clients in order to secure its receivables, which as at 31/12/2016 amounted to Euro 21.5 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, maintaining also increased cash balances. Moreover the major part of the Group's borrowings is long term borrowings which facilitates liquidity management.

To the Shareholders of MOTOR OIL (HELLAS) CORINTH REFINERIES S.A.
We have audited the accompanying Company stand-alone and consolidated financial statements of the Company Motor Oil (Hellas) Corinth Refineries S.A., which comprise the Company stand-alone and consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2016, and the Company stand-alone and consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flow for the year then ended, as well as a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes.
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these Company stand-alone and consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as these have been adopted by the European Union, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of Company stand-alone and consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these Company stand-alone and consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing, which have been incorporated into Greek Law (FEK/B'/2848/23.10.2012). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the Company stand-alone and consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the Company stand-alone and consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Company standalone and consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the Company stand-alone and consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Company stand-alone and consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
In our opinion, the accompanying Company stand-alone and consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company Motor Oil (Hellas) Corinth Refineries S.A. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2016, and of their financial performance and their cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as these were adopted by the European Union.
Taking into account that management is responsible for the preparation of the Directors' Report and of the Corporate Governance Statement included therein, in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 5 of article 2 (part B) of L. 4336/2015, we note that:
