Νotes to the Condensed Financial Statements

1. General Information

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

Major shareholders of the Company are "Petroventure Holdings Limited" holding 40% and "Doson Investments Company" holding 5.9%.

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

As at 31 March 2018 the number of employees, for the Group and the Company, was 2,173 and 1,262 respectively (31/3/2017: Group: 2,103 persons, Company: 1,227 persons).

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

The interim condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, 'Interim financial reporting' and should be read in combination with the 2017 annual financial statements.

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

The accounting policies adopted in these condensed interim financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017 except for the following: a) Changes in accounting policies due to the new impairment rules based on IFRS 9 and b) adoption of new standards, amendment to existing standards and interpretations.

a) Changes in accounting policies

This note explains the impact of the adoption of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments on the group's financial statements and discloses the new accounting policies that have been applied from 1 January 2018, where they are different to those applied in prior periods.

Impact on Financial Statements

As a result of the changes in the entity's accounting policies, opening equity in financial statements had to be restated. As explained below, IFRS 9 was adopted without restating comparative information. The reclassifications and the adjustments arising from the new impairment rules are therefore not reflected in the balance sheet as at 31 December 2017, but are recognised in the opening balance sheet on 1 January 2018.

The following tables show the adjustments recognised for each individual line item. Line items that were not affected by the changes have not been included. As a result, the sub-totals and totals disclosed cannot be recalculated from the number provided.

The adjustments for the Group and the Company are explained in more detail by standard below:

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments – Impact of adoption

IFRS 9 replaces the provisions of IAS 39 that relate to the recognition, classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities, derecognition of financial instruments and impairment of financial assets.

The adoption of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments from 1 January 2018 resulted in changes in accounting policies and adjustments to the amounts recognised in the financial statements. The new accounting policies are set out below. In accordance with the transitional provisions in IFRS 9, comparative figures have not been restated.

The total impact on the Group's and the Company's retained earnings as at 1 January 2018 is as follows:

GROUP COMPANY
Closing retained earnings as at 31 December 2017 844,303 744,190

9 on 1 January 2018 (12,536) (229)
Opening retained earnings 1 January 2018 -
IFRS 9
831,767 743,961

Impairment of financial assets

The group has one type of financial assets that are subject to IFRS 9's new expected credit loss model: Trade and other receivables for sales of inventory and services.

The group was required to revise its impairment methodology under IFRS 9 for its financial assets. The impact of the change in impairment methodology on the group's retained earnings and equity is disclosed above.

The group applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables.

To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due.

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

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

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

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

IAS 7 (Amendment) "Disclosure Initiative''

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

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

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

IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers"

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

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

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

IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments"

IFRS 9 is the first Phase of the Board's project to replace IAS 39 and deals with: the classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities, impairment of financial assets, hedge accounting, derecognition of financial assets and liabilities. The standard has been adopted by EU.

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

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

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

Amends IFRS 4 'Insurance Contracts' to provide two options for entities that issue insurance contracts within the scope of IFRS 4: a) an option that permits entities to reclassify, from profit or loss to other comprehensive income, some of the income or expenses arising from designated financial assets; this is the so-called overlay approach; b) an optional temporary exemption from applying IFRS 9 for entities whose predominant activity is issuing contracts within the scope of IFRS 4; this is the so-called deferral approach. Deferral approach effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 and only available for three years after that date. The application of both approaches is optional and an entity is permitted to stop applying them before the new insurance contracts standard is applied. Overlay approach to be applied when IFRS 9 is first applied. The amendment is has been endorsed by the EU in November 2017 and is estimated that it will have no impact in the Financial statements of the Group and the Company.

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

Amends IFRS 2 to clarify the classification and measurement of share-based payment transactions with respect to a) the accounting for cash-settled share-based payment transactions that include a performance condition; b) the classification of share-based payment transactions with net settlement features; and c) the accounting for modifications of share-based payment transactions from cash-settled to equity-settled. The amendment is has been endorsed by the EU and is estimated that it will have no impact in the Financial statements of the Group and the Company.

IFRIC 22 "Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration"

The interpretation addresses foreign currency transactions or parts of transactions where i) there is consideration that is denominated or priced in a foreign currency; ii) the entity recognises a prepayment asset or a deferred income liability in respect of that consideration, in advance of the recognition of the related asset, expense or income; and iii) the prepayment asset or deferred income liability is non-monetary. The Interpretations Committee concluded that the date of the transaction, for the purpose of determining the exchange rate, is the date of initial recognition of the non-monetary prepayment asset or deferred income liability and in case there are multiple payments or receipts in advance, a date of transaction is established for each payment or receipt. The interpretation is has been endorsed by the EU and the Group will estimate any impact of this standard in the financial statements of the Company and the Group.

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

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

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

IFRS 16 "Leases''

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

IFRIC 23 "Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

IAS 12 "Income Taxes"

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

IAS 23 "Borrowing Costs"

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

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

IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts"

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

3. Operating Segments

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

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

Segment information is presented in the following table:

There are also legal claims of the Group against third parties amounting to approximately € 20.0 million (Company: approximately € 0.1 million). No provision has been made as all above cases concern legal claims where the final outcome cannot be currently estimated.

The Company and, consequently, the Group in order to complete its investments and its construction commitments, has entered into relevant contracts with construction companies, the non-executed part of which, as at 31/3/2018, amounts to approximately € 3.9 million.

The Group companies have entered into contracts to purchase and sell crude oil and fuels, at current prices in line with the international market effective prices at the time the transaction takes place.

The bank accounts of the subsidiary "OFC AVIATION FUEL SERVICES S.A." are pledged as collateral for its bond loan repayment.

18. Contingent Liabilities/Commitments (continued)

The total amount of letters of guarantee given as security for Group companies' liabilities as at 31/3/2018, amounted to € 118,821 thousand. The respective amount as at 31/12/2017 was € 123,307 thousand.

The total amount of letters of guarantee given as security for the Company's liabilities as at 31/3/2018, amounted to € 19,027 thousand. The respective amount as at 31/12/2017 was € 19,795 thousand.

Companies with Un-audited Fiscal Years

The tax authorities have not performed a tax audit on "CYTOP SA" for the fiscal years 2012 up to and including 2014 as well as for "KEPED SA" and "ELTEPE SA" for the fiscal years 2012 up to and including 2016. Thus the tax liabilities for those companies have not yet finalized. At a future tax audit it is probable for the tax authorities to impose additional tax which can not be estimated at this point of time. The Group though estimates that this will not have a material impact on the financial position of the Group.

The tax audit for fiscal years 2009 and 2010 for CORAL GAS AEBEY 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. For the fiscal years 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 MOH group companies that were obliged for a tax compliance audit by the statutory auditors, have been audited by the appointed statutory auditors in accordance with L2190/1920, art. 82 of L 2238/1994 and art. 65A of L4174/13 and have issued the relevant Tax Compliance Certificates. In any case and according to Circ.1006/05.01.2016 these companies for which a Tax Compliance Certificate has been issued are not excluded from a further tax audit by the relevant tax authorities. Therefore, the tax authorities may perform a tax audit as well. However, the group's management believes that the outcome of such future audits, should these be performed, will not have a material impact on the financial position of the Group or the Company.

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

20. Management of Financial Risks

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

a. Capital risk management

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

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

20. Management of Financial Risks (continued)

Gearing Ratio

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

The gearing ratio at the period end was as follows:

GROUP COMPANY
(In 000's Euros) 31/3/2018 31/12/2017 31/3/2018 31/12/2017
Bank loans 911,597 994,065 562,057 667,375
Cash and cash equivalents (563,694) (714,026) (511,202) (638,815)
Net debt 347,903 280,039 50,855 28,560
Equity 1,046,698 1,018,883 920,810 881,837
Net debt to equity ratio 0.33 0.27 0.06 0.03

b. Financial risk management

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

c. Market risk

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

d. Foreign currency risk

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

20. Management of Financial Risks (continued)

e. Interest rate risk

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

f. Credit risk

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

The Group's trade receivables are characterized by a high degree of concentration, due to a limited number of customers comprising the clientele of the parent Company. Most of the customers are international well-known oil companies. Consequently, the credit risk is limited to a great extent. The Group companies have signed contracts with their clients, based on the course of the international oil prices. In addition, the Group, as a policy, obtains letters of guarantee from its clients in order to secure its receivables, which as at 31/3/2018 amounted to Euro 27.6 million. As far as receivables of the subsidiaries "Avin Oil S.A.", "CORAL A.E.", "CORAL GAS A.E.B.E.Y." and "L.P.C. S.A." are concerned, these are spread in a wide range of customers and consequently there is no material concentration and the credit risk is limited. The Group manages its domestic credit policy in a way to limit accordingly the credit days granted in the local market, in order to minimise any probable domestic credit risk.

g. Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is managed through the proper combination of cash and cash equivalents and available bank loan facilities. 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.

As at today the Company has available total bank loans credit facilities of approximately € 1 billion of which € 562 million have been withdrawn and total available bank Letter of Credit facilities up to approximately € 400 million.

Going Concern

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

21. Events after the Reporting Period

On 9 May 2018 the 100% subsidiary "Coral SA" concluded with the public offer for the issue of a 5-year term bond loan of € 90 million with an annual rate at 3%. There were 90,000 bonds issued at a par value of € 1,000 each that were listed on the fixed income market of the Athens Exchange on 14 May 2018. Within May 2018 the Group, through its 100% subsidiary "Motor Oil Finance plc", was granted a 3 year term bank loan of USD 41.9 million with a rate of LIBOR + spread repayable in 6 semiannual installments.

Besides the above, there are no events that could have a material impact on the Group's and Company's financial structure or operations that have occurred since 1/4/2018 up to the date of issue of these financial statements.
