The Company informed the investing public on August 3rd 2017 that as a result of the decision taken by the annual Ordinary General Assembly of the 10th of May 2016, and the decision taken by the empowered Board of
Directors on the 21st of July 2017, announced that on 2nd of August 2017, signed a contract, for issuing a Common Bond Loan via private placement, according to the c.l. 3156/2003 and c.l. 2190/1920, of nominal value of € 6.000.000,00, with a duration of six (6) years. The Bond holders are "National Bank of Greece S.A." and "NBG BANK MALTA LTD". The empowered for the bank payments and the representative of the Bond holders was appointed the bank "National Bank of Greece S.A.". The aim of the common Bond Loan, which bears no lien, was the refinancing of the short-term bank loans of the Company.
The most common risks that the Group is likely to be exposed to at the second half of the current year are the following:
Since May 2010, Greece in combination with its Partners has undertaken and implemented significant structural reforms for the improvement of the competition and the promotion of the financial development, through a programme agreed with European Union, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund ("the Institutions").
The above-mentioned reforms led to an improvement to the fiscal figures especially to primary surpluses in 2013 and 2014 and to marginal increase in GDP in 2014, for the first time after a five year recession period. Following the national elections of 25th of January 2015, the new Greek government achieved a four-month extension of the Master Financial Assistance Facility Agreement (MFFA). The fact that there was not an agreement by the expiring date of the aforementioned extension led to capital controls, and to discussions for the third bailout programme with the Institutions for the Agreement for Convention of Financial Support by the European Stability Mechanism (ESM) and the settings for the Financial Assistance Agreement (l. 4336/14.8.2015).
The imposed capital controls in the country, which include amongst others restrictions on payments abroad, consequently affecting domestic transactions and dealings with foreign suppliers and creditors. Purchase of inventory of the Group and of the Company is highly dependent to suppliers outside Greece.
After a two-year period with imposed capital controls, the approval procedure has significantly been improved and the Government has amended the relevant regulatory framework, by improving some of the restrictive provisions, especially to commercial transactions. Under these circumstances, the Company has estimated that the negative effects of the capital controls, especially the effects concerning the imports have been limited. However, the cost of following and taking actions under the relevant procedures still exists as wells as the cost from the no-optimum cash utilisation of the Group.
Under a macroeconomic perspective, the GDP of the country in the second quarter of 2017, increased by 0,5% compared with the first quarter of 2017 and increased by 0,8% compared with the second quarter of 2016. This increase is mainly attributed to the increased expenditure for consumption by 1,9% (despite the decrease in the remaining household income and the dissaving) and the improvement in the negative trade balance (imports minus exports). However, it is observed a negative evolution in the Gross Fixed Capital growth. The estimation for the annual growth rate of GDP refers 1,8% - 2% growth. The tourism industry will be the main influencer for the annual growth rate of GDP. The most important driver for the market Plaisio in which operates is the individuals' tendency to consume, except GDP growth. The consumers' intention to consume has deteriorated in the first quarter of the year due to the negotiations for the completion of the second national evaluation by the Institutions. The consumers' attitude improved in the end of the second quarter, as a consequence of the completion of the national evaluation. As a result, the most significant influencing factor for the retail sector is the completion of the third evaluation in the second half of the year.
The long term loans of the Company and of the Group, on June 30th 2017, were 6.585 th. € (877 th. € on 31.12.2016), the short term bond loans were 584 th. € (584 th. € on 31.12.2016). The increased bond debt compared to 31.12.2016 is attributed to the issuance of a common bond loan of 6.000 th. € with floating interest rate with Eurobank Ergasias S.A. in the first half of the current year. The aforementioned action is part of the refinancing strategy of the short-term bank loans through more long-term loans. Consequently, the total short-term bank loans of the Company on 30.06.2017 decreased by 4.000 th. € and amounted to 10.000 th. € compared to 14.000 th. € on 31.12.2016. Under the above-mentioned refinancing, the Company issued a common bond loan of 6.000 th. € with National Bank of Greece on August 2nd 2017.
The following table presents the sensitivity analysis of both the results of the period and the net equity to a change of the interest rate of +1% or -1%. The relevant influence is presented as follows:
The results of the period as well as the Net Equity of the Group and of the Company, in this case, would decrease by 160 th. € and 118 th. € on 01.01-30.06.2017 and on 01.01-30.06.2016 respectively.
The results of the period as well as the Net Equity of the Group and of the Company, in this case, would increase by 160 th. € and 118 th. € on 01.01-30.06.2017 and on 01.01-30.06.2016 respectively.
Taking into account the increased variance regarding the interest rate, the Management of the Group monitors the course of interest rates and assumes all the necessary actions to smooth any negative effects. In any case, the limited exposure of the Group to debt capital results to consider the risk of significantly low interest rates, globally, as not material. In addition, cash and cash equivalents of the Group on 30.06.2017 exceed the total of the Group's borrowings by 19.465 th. €.
The Group has no significant credit risk, mainly because of the large dispersion of its customers. Retail sales are paid in cash or via credit cards whereas for wholesales the Group has all the necessary internal procedures according to which it gives credit, examining the creditworthiness of the customer, by each case separately. Furthermore, it is a policy of the Group, that the largest amount of receivables from customers is insured. The Company has divided its customer's base to named and non-named. The balances of the Public Sector are not insured.
The Company and the Group form a provision for doubtful receivables, as stated in Note 11 of the Half Year Financial Report.
On June 30th 2017 the total balance of customers and other trade receivables (not including the subsidiary) for the Group and the Company, was 19.729 th. € and 18.917 th. € while the provision for doubtful receivables was 3.993 th. € and 3.921 th. €. On 31.12.2016 the total balance of customers and other trade receivables, for the Group and the Company, was slightly increased to 20.697 th. € and 19.805 th. €, while the provision for doubtful receivables came up to 4.775 th. € and 4.700 th. € for the Group and the Company respectively.
a) a strictly defined provision for all the customers that have been characterized as doubtful
b) a specific provision for all the customers that have overdue balances based on the ageing of their balances
c) a provision, based on the increased level of risk because of the conditions of the economic environment, taking in consideration: 1) the reduced liquidity of Greek businesses and 2) the difficult access to bank financing.
It is noted that this provision includes also non-overdue receivables. For this provision the balances of all the customers have been taken into account, with the exception of the receivables from Plaisio Computers JSC, as it is considered that there is no risk of non-collection of these particular balances, given that PLAISIO COMPUTERS JSC is controlled 100% by the Parent Company. The debit balance of the Company Plaisio Computers JSC to the parent company PLAISIO COMPUTERS SA on 30.06.2017 amounted to 480 th. €.
d) the Group has already moved to a provision for the balances from the Public Sector. It is noted that this provision, also includes non-overdue balances.
It is also noted that the amount of the formed provision for the current period remains stable at a high level (20,3% compared to 23,1% in 2016), confirming the conservative policy of the Management, in an environment of increased credit fluctuations, in which the probability of creation of doubtful debts has not been limited. The decrease in 2017 is attributed to the higher solvency of debtors and, mainly, the improved receivables turnover. In any case, the high level of the provisions, in addition to the conservative policy regarding the provision for impairment lead to the estimation that this particular risk is controlled and any negative consequences in the future are probably limited.
The Group takes all the necessary measures (insurance, safekeeping) so as to minimize the risk and contingent damages due to physical disasters, thefts etc. Furthermore, since the Group takes activity in a sector of high technology, where the risk of technical devaluation is extremely increased, the Management reviews the net realizable value and forms the appropriate provisions so that their value in the financial statements coincides with the real one.
On 30.06.2017 the total amount of inventories was 57.579 th. € and 56.418 th. €, while the provision for devaluation was 11.676 th. € and 11.653 th. € for the Group and for the Company respectively. The amount of inventory, significantly, decreased by approximately five million Euros from 61.997 th. € in the end of 2016, returning to the inventory level of 30.06.2016. The increased inventory in the end of 2016 is attributed, mainly, to the estimation of future price increase in spare parts which led the Management to increase the inventory of those parts in lower prices by exploiting the Company's wide liquidity.
In the period under examination, the Group retained the provision of devaluation of its inventory in high levels. As a result the relevant percentage ended up to the percentage of 20,3% from 18,2%.
Finally, the Company considers the suppliers' risk limited, and in any case non-important for the financial results of the Group, since there is no significant dependence for the Group on any one of its suppliers by more than 11% of the total supplies. All the above mentioned depict the standard policy of the Management for operational independency in relation to particular vendors, while during the following period no significant changes are expected concerning this risk also in the second half of this current financial year of 2017.
The foreign exchange risk is the risk of volatility of the value of financial assets and liabilities due to changes of exchange rates. The majority of the Group's transactions and balances are in Euro, but at the same time, the Group has deposits in foreign currency. Furthermore, there are no loan liabilities in a currency other than the Euro. The Group in certain cases, outweighs the foreign exchange risk, by conducting derivative contracts, without proceeding with hedge accounting for that matter.
The Management of the Group observes at all times the foreign currency risks that may arise and evaluates the need for relevant measures. Due to the fact that the purchase invoicing from many suppliers is expressed in US dollar terms, hedging is usual, which results in variations in the financial periods at the exchange rate results. The activity of the Group in Bulgaria is not considered to affect currency risk, as the exchange rate of the Bulgarian currency to the Euro is fixed.
The Group retains high level of cash and cash equivalents, which exceed significantly the total of its exposure to borrowing, while at the same time it has issued bond loans and has pre-approved credit balances from banks in order to minimize liquidity risk. The Group, is also highly estimated by the Greek banks and its vendors, because of its more than 47 year dynamic course in the Greek market.
The financial liabilities of the Group and of the Company on 30.06.2017 are analyzed as follows:
| THE GROUP 30.06.2017 | up to 12 months | from 1 up to 2 years | from 2 up to 5 years |
|---|---|---|---|
| Suppliers & Other Short term Liabilities | 28.983 | 0 | 0 |
| Loans & Interest | 11.002 | 1.949 | 5.172 |
| Total | 39.985 | 1.949 | 5.172 |
| THE GROUP 31.12.2016 | up to12 months | from 1 up to2 years | from 2up to5 years |
| Suppliers & Other Short term liabilities | 39.219 | 0 | 0 |
| Loans & Interest | 14.859 | 621 | 301 |
| Total | 54.078 | 621 | 301 |
| THE COMPANY 30.06.2017 | up to12 months | from 1 up to2 years | from 2up to5 years |
| Suppliers & Other Short term liabilities | 28.619 | 0 | 0 |
| Loans & Interest | 11.002 | 1.949 | 5.172 |
| Total | 39.620 | 1.949 | 5.172 |
| THE COMPANY 31.12.2016 | up to12 months | from 1 up to2 years | from 2up to5 years |
| Suppliers & Other Short term liabilities | 38.670 | 0 | 0 |
| Loans & Interest | 14.859 | 621 | 301 |
| Total | 53.528 | 621 | 301 |
The Group considers its liabilities to suppliers as short-term. In the same category it includes other short term
liabilities and tax liabilities. In the first semester of 2017, the Group achieved to reduce the relevant liabilities by more
than 10 m. €, compared to 2016, by exploiting its wide liquidity. As a result, the working capital ratio improved from 2,1x
to 2,6x and the commercial relationships with the suppliers were strengthened.
Taking into consideration all the above mentioned acknowledgments and the wide liquidity, at this moment and for the rest of the fiscal period, this particular risk is considered under the Group's control.
Despite the above mentioned risks, no other risks are important for citation at this Interim Financial Report.

| % Δ | (1,4%) | (6,7%) | 2,8% | 0,9% | (3,4%) |
The Cost of Sales appeared a higher percentage decrease (3,69%) compared with the respective decrease in sales, resulting the Group's gross profit to end up to 27.590 th. € in the first half of 2017 compared to 28.191 th. € in 30.06.2016, slightly decreased by 2,13%. The Gross Profit Margin improved to 21,6% from 21,3%.
The expenses of the Group, including the financial expenses, reduced by 1,7% and ended up to 26.714 th. €, versus 27.173 th. € in the respective period of 2016 and are analyzed as follows:
| Administrative Expenses: | 3.334 th. € |
|---|---|
| Distribution Expenses: | 21.982 th. € |
| Other Expenses: | 498 th. € |
| Net Financial Expenses: | 922 th. € |
| Profits from Associates: | 23 th. € |
The relevant figures for 2016 were:
| Administrative Expenses: | 3.228 th. € |
|---|---|
| Distribution Expenses: | 23.552 th. € |
| Other Income: | 107 th. € |
| Net Financial Expenses: | 548 th. € |
Profits from Associates: 49 th. €
From the above analysis, it is observed a restraint in the administrative expenses and a significant decrease in the distribution expenses by more than 1,5 m. €. The total of the increase in the other expenses is attributed to foreign exchange rate differences which were negative for the Group in the first half of the current year. The total effect of the foreign exchange rate differences in the results of the first semester of 2017 compared with the respective period in 2016, came up to 0,8 m. €. Finally, the operating expenses has been affected by 0,45 m. € as a result of the newly issued debt during the semester.
The decrease in sales was not fully outweighed by the decrease in the total expenses, resulting the Group's earnings before taxes to end up to 931 th. €, compared with the 1.070 th. € in the respective period of 2016. Consequently, earnings after taxes ended up to 570 th. € from 905 th. € in the relevant period in 2016. The increase of approximately 0,2 m. € in taxation is attributed to the completion of the statutory tax audit (50 th. €) for the years 2009 & 2010 in the first half of 2017.
The earnings per share, basic and diluted came up to 2,58 eurocents, than 4,10 eurocents in the relevant period of 2016.
As Alternative Performance Measure (APM) is considered, according to the definition of the European Capital Commission, a financial ratio which measures the historical or the future financial performance, financial position or cash flows, which is not defined by the IFRS. Even if APM are not included in IFRS, APM have to be evaluated supplementary with the figures provisioned by the IFRS and always in combination with the IFRS results.
The Group uses in a limited extent the Alternative Performance Measures during the publication of the financial performance with target the better understandability of the operating results of the Group and its financial position. Plaisio has as a general principle, the presentation of the examined performance measures to be clear, in order the measures to be suitable and useful for the decision making by the users of the financial statements.
The Group, both in the current and the previous year has not used adjusted APM,( i.e. adjustments in the figures of P&L, Balance Sheet or Cash Flow), as the Group has not implemented extraordinary actions (such as operating restructures or non-repeated revenue or expense) that are not in accordance with the main activity of the Group and which significantly affect the formation of these measures. The below amounts presented in th. Euro.
A. Net Debt (Net Liquidity): Consist of an APM that is used in order to estimate the capital structure of the Group. It is calculated as the difference between the total debt (long-term and short-term) and the total of cash and cash equivalents. If the result of the aforementioned difference is negative (as in the case of Plaisio) indicates the liquidity of the Company exceeds its total liabilities.

B. Earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation/amortisation – EBITDA: Constitutes the most used measure of operating effectiveness, because it considers only the expenses that are relative with the daily operation of the Group and the Company. EBITDA is the sum of the operating results (Earnings before Taxes, interest and investing results), the depreciation and the impairment. The operating results (Earnings before taxes and interest) are calculated by adding to the Earnings before Taxes the net interest expenses. EBITDA expressed as a percentage to sales is calculated by dividing EBITDA with the Turnover.

On 21/07/2017, the Company received the Tax Audit Command with number 196/0/1118 from the tax authorities for the tax audit of the corporate year 2012. Τhere are no other events after the reporting period, of the Group or the Company, which have a significant effect on the financial position of the Group or the Company.
In the first semester of 2017 appeared a negative consuming attitude due to the uncertainty for the completion of the second evaluation by the Institutions. The attitude for consumption was improved in June, when the agreement with the Country's Creditors was signed. Because of the timing, the aforementioned improvement was not able to influence the sales and the results of the Group. In the second semester, the anticipated recovery of GDP and the stability in the political scene may drive to increased consumption which will be financed by the individuals' dissaving. The factors, which, will also influence the results are the intensity of the competition, the evolutions in €/\$ - which were fluctuated intensively in the first semester - and the political & financial situation in Greece during the Christmas period, when the Group achieves significant part of its sales.

The Board of Directors
To the Shareholders of PLAISIO COMPUTERS S.A.
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed separate and consolidated statement of financial position of the Company «PLAISIO COMPUTERS S.A.» as of June 30, 2017 and the related condensed separate and consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month period then ended, as well as the selected explanatory notes that comprise the interim condensed financial information, which form an integral part of the six-month financial report as provided by Law. 3556/2007. Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim condensed financial information in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as they have been adopted by the European Union and applied to interim financial reporting (International Accounting Standard "IAS" 34). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim condensed financial information, based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, mainly of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently it does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Consequently, with the present document we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on the review conducted, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim condensed financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34.
Our review has not detected any inconsistency or discrepancy of the other information of the six-month financial report, as required by article 5 of L.3556/2007, with the accompanying condensed financial information.

The notes on the accounts are an integral part of the interim financial statements.
These financial statements include the interim condensed financial statements of the company PLAISIO COMPUTERS S.A. (the "Company") and the consolidated interim condensed financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary (together "the Group"). The names of the subsidiary and affiliates are presented in note 7.
The Company assembles and trades PCs, Telecommunication and Office Equipment. The Group has presence in Greece and Bulgaria and PLAISIO COMPUTERS S.A. is listed in the Athens Stock Exchange since 1999.
The Board of Directors of PLAISIO COMPUTERS S.A. approved the financial statements for the six month period ending on June 30th 2016 on the 25th of September 2017.
The interim financial statements of the company and the group dated June 30th 2017 refer to period from January 1st 2017 to June 30th 2017. They have been prepared based on I.A.S 34 "Interim Financial Information" and have to be examined in comparison to the annual financial statements of December 31st 2016 which are available on the company web site www.plaisio.gr. The comparable data, wherever it has deemed necessary were adjusted according to the changes the Group has made in the presentation of the financial statements.
The accounting principles that have been used in the preparation and presentation of the annual financial statements are in accordance with those used for the preparation of the Company and Group financial statements as of December 31st , 2016 as were published in website of the Company for information purposes.
The preparation of the Financial Statements, in conformity with IFRS, requires the use of certain estimates and assumptions which affect the balances of the assets and liabilities, the contingencies disclosure as at the balance sheet date of the financial statements and the amounts of income and expense relating to the reporting year. These estimates are based on the best of the knowledge of the Company's and Group's management in relation to the current conditions and actions.
Any differences between amounts in the primary financial statements and similar amounts detailed in the explanatory notes are due to rounding of figures.
These narrow scope amendments apply to contributions from employees or third parties to defined benefit plans and simplify the accounting for contributions that are independent of the number of years of employee service, for example, employee contributions that are calculated according to a fixed percentage of salary.
This amendment requires an investor to apply the principles of business combination accounting when it acquires an interest in a joint operation that constitutes a 'business'.
This amendment clarifies that the use of revenue-based methods to calculate the depreciation of an asset is not appropriate and it also clarifies that revenue is generally presumed to be an inappropriate basis for measuring the consumption of the economic benefits embodied in an intangible asset.
These amendments change the financial reporting for bearer plants, such as grape vines and fruit trees. The bearer plants should be accounted for in the same way as self-constructed items of property, plant and equipment. Consequently, the amendments include them within the scope of IAS 16, instead of IAS 41. The produce growing on bearer plants will remain within the scope of IAS 41.
This amendment allows entities to use the equity method to account for investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates in their separate financial statements and clarifies the definition of separate financial statements.
These amendments clarify guidance in IAS 1 on materiality and aggregation, the presentation of subtotals, the structure of financial statements and the disclosure of accounting policies.
These amendments clarify the application of the consolidation exception for investment entities and their subsidiaries.
The amendments set out below describe the key changes to certain IFRSs following the publication of the results of the IASB's 2010-12 cycle of the annual improvements project.
The amendment clarifies the definition of a 'vesting condition' and separately defines 'performance condition' and 'service condition'.
The amendment clarifies that an obligation to pay contingent consideration which meets the definition of a financial instrument is classified as a financial liability or as equity, on the basis of the definitions in IAS 32 "Financial instruments:
Presentation". It also clarifies that all non-equity contingent consideration, both financial and non-financial, is measured at fair value through profit or loss.
The amendment requires disclosure of the judgements made by management in aggregating operating segments.
The amendment clarifies that the standard does not remove the ability to measure short-term receivables and payables at invoice amounts in cases where the impact of not discounting is immaterial.
Both standards are amended to clarify how the gross carrying amount and the accumulated depreciation are treated where an entity uses the revaluation model.
The standard is amended to include, as a related party, an entity that provides key management personnel services to the reporting entity or to the parent of the reporting entity.
The amendments set out below describe the key changes to four IFRSs.
The amendment clarifies that, when an asset (or disposal group) is reclassified from 'held for sale' to 'held for distribution', or vice versa, this does not constitute a change to a plan of sale or distribution, and does not have to be accounted for as such.
The amendment adds specific guidance to help management determine whether the terms of an arrangement to service a financial asset which has been transferred constitute continuing involvement and clarifies that the additional disclosure required by the amendments to IFRS 7, 'Disclosure – Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities' is not specifically required for all interim periods, unless required by IAS 34.
The amendment clarified that the disclosures requirement of IFRS 12 are applicable to interest in entities classified as held for sale or distribution according to IFRS 5, except for the summarised financial information required (par B10-B16).
The amendment clarifies that, when determining the discount rate for post-employment benefit obligations, it is the currency that the liabilities are denominated in that is important, and not the country where they arise.
The amendment clarifies what is meant by the reference in the standard to 'information disclosed elsewhere in the interim financial report'.
IFRS 9 replaces the guidance in IAS 39 which deals with the classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities and it also includes an expected credit losses model that replaces the incurred loss impairment model used today. IFRS 9 establishes a more principles-based approach to hedge accounting and addresses inconsistencies and weaknesses in the current model in IAS 39. The Group is currently investigating the impact of IFRS 9 on its financial statements.
IFRS 15 has been issued in May 2014. The objective of the standard is to provide a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers to improve comparability within industries, across industries, and across capital markets. It contains principles that an entity will apply to determine the measurement of revenue and timing of when it is recognised. The underlying principle is that an entity will recognise revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Group is currently investigating the impact of IFRS 15 on its financial statements.
IFRS 16 has been issued in January 2016 and supersedes IAS 17. The objective of the standard is to ensure the lessees and lessors provide relevant information in a manner that faithfully represents those transactions. IFRS 16 introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. IFRS 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements in IAS 17. Accordingly, a lessor continues to classify its leases as operating leases or finance leases, and to account for those two types of leases differently. The Group is currently investigating the impact of IFRS 16 on its financial statements. The standard has not yet been endorsed by the EU.
The standard measures insurance contracts either under a general model or a simplified version at current value. Companies will report estimated future payments to settle incurred claims on a discounted basis and use current discount rates that reflect the characteristics of the financial risks as well as a risk adjustment for non-financial risk.
A full gain or loss should be recognised on the loss of control of a business, whether the business is housed in a subsidiary or not. It was also recommended to amend IFRS 10 so that the gain or loss resulting from the sale or contribution of a subsidiary that does not constitute a business as defined in IFRS 3 to an associate or joint venture is recognised only to the extent of unrelated investors' interests in the associate or joint venture.
The amendment clarifies the measurement basis for cash-settled, share-based payments and the accounting for modifications that change an award from cash-settled to equity-settled. It also introduces an exception to the principles
in IFRS 2 that will require an award to be treated as if it was wholly equity-settled, where an employer is obliged to withhold an amount for the employee's tax obligation associated with a share-based payment and pay that amount to the tax authority. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU.
The amendments introduce two approaches. The amended standard will: a) give all companies that issue insurance contracts the option to recognise in other comprehensive income, rather than profit or loss, the volatility that could arise when IFRS 9 is applied before the new insurance contracts standard is issued; and b) give companies whose activities are predominantly connected with insurance an optional temporary exemption from applying IFRS 9 until 2021. The entities that defer the application of IFRS 9 will continue to apply the existing financial instruments standard— IAS 39. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU.
The amendments clarified that to transfer to, or from, investment properties there must be a change in use. To conclude if a property has changed use there should be an assessment of whether the property meets the definition and the change must be supported by evidence. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU.
The interpretation provides guidance on how to determine the date of the transaction when applying the standard on foreign currency transactions, IAS 21. The Interpretation applies where an entity either pays or receives consideration in advance for foreign currency-denominated contracts. The interpretation has not yet been endorsed by the EU.
The interpretation is to be applied when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments under IAS 12. An entity is required to use judgement to determine whether each tax treatment should be considered independently or whether some tax treatments should be considered together. If the entity concludes that it is not probable that a particular tax treatment is accepted, the entity has to use the most likely amount or the expected value of the tax treatment in its calculations.
The amendments set out below describe the key changes to two IFRSs. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU.
The amendement clarified that the disclosures requirement of IFRS 12 are applicable to interest in entities classified as held for sale or distribution according to IFRS 5, except for the summarised financial information required (par B10-B16).
The amendments clarified that when venture capital organisations, mutual funds, unit trusts and similar entities use the election to measure their investments in associates or joint ventures at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), this election should be made separately for each associate or joint venture at initial recognition.
IFRS 1 has been amended to remove short-term exemptions which are no longer applicable and had been available to entities for reporting periods that have now passed.
The Group is exposed to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Group's financial performance. The risks below are significantly affected by not only the enforced capital controls but also by the macroeconomic and financial environment in Greece, as they were analysed in the interim report of the Board of Directors.
Since May 2010, Greece in combination with its Partners has undertaken and implemented significant structural reforms for the improvement of the competition and the promotion of the financial development, through a programme agreed with European Union, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund ("the Institutions").
The above-mentioned reforms led to an improvement to the fiscal figures especially to primary surpluses in 2013 and 2014 and to marginal increase in GDP in 2014, for the first time after a five year recession period. Following the national elections of 25th of January 2015, the new Greek government achieved a four-month extension of the Master Financial Assistance Facility Agreement (MFFA). The fact that there was not an agreement by the expiring date of the aforementioned extension led to capital controls, and to discussions for the third bailout programme with the Institutions for the Agreement for Convention of Financial Support by the European Stability Mechanism (ESM) and the settings for the Financial Assistance Agreement (l. 4336/14.8.2015).
The imposed capital controls in the country, which include amongst others restrictions on payments abroad, consequently affecting domestic transactions and dealings with foreign suppliers and creditors. Purchase of inventory of the Group and of the Company is highly dependent to suppliers outside Greece.
After a two-year period of the imposed capital controls, the approval procedure has significantly been improved and the Government has amended the relevant regulatory framework, by improving some of the restrictive provisions, especially to commercial transactions. Under these circumstances, the Company has estimated that the negative effects of the capital controls, especially the effects concerning the imports have been limited. However, the cost of following and taking actions under the relevant procedures still exists as wells as the cost from the no-optimum cash utilisation of the Group.
Under a macroeconomic perspective, the GDP of the country in the second quarter of 2017, increased by 0,5% compared with the first quarter of 2017 and increased by 0,8% compared with the second quarter of 2016. This increase is mainly attributed to the increased expenditure for consumption by 1,9% (despite the decrease in the remaining household income and the negative deposits) and the improvement in the negative trade balance (imports minus exports). However, it is observed a negative evolution in the Gross Fixed Capital. The estimation for the annual growth rate of GDP refers 1,8% - 2% growth. The tourism industry will be the main influencer for the annual growth rate of GDP. The most important driver for the market Plaisio in which operates is the individuals' tendency to consume, except GDP growth. The consumers' intention to consume has deteriorated in the first quarter of the year due to the negotiations for the completion of the second national evaluation by the Institutions. The consumers' attitude improved in the end of the second quarter, as a consequence of the completion of the national evaluation. As a result, the most significant influencing factor for the retail sector is the completion of the third evaluation in the second half of the year.
The main risks are the following:
The foreign exchange risk is the risk of volatility of the value of financial assets, of assets and liabilities due to changes in the exchange rates. The majority of the Group's transactions and balances are in Euro and there are no loans in any other currency than the Euro. Therefore the Management estimates that the Group is exposed to minimal foreign exchange risks. Furthermore the Management monitors constantly the risks that might arise and evaluates the need of taking measures. Due to the fact that the purchase invoicing from many suppliers is expressed in US dollar terms, hedging is usual, which results in variations in the financial periods at the exchange rate results. The activity of the Group in Bulgaria does not magnify this risk as the exchange rate of the Bulgarian Lev to the Euro is fixed.
The Group analyses its interest rate exposure on a dynamic basis. Various scenarios are simulated taking into consideration refinancing, renewal of existing positions, alternative financing and hedging. Based on these scenarios, the Group calculates the impact on profit and loss of a defined interest rate shift.
The policy of the Company is to keep loans at a low level, assuring at the same time that there is a financing capability from the banks that PLAISIO cooperates with, that satisfy without a problem the planned development of the Group.
On June 30th 2017, the long term loans of the Group and the Company were 6.585 th. € (877 th. € on 31.12.2016) and the short term bond loans were 584 th. € (584 th. € on 31.12.2016). The increased bond loans compared to 31.12.2016 is attributed to the issuance of a common bond loan of 6.000 th. € with floating interest rate with Eurobank Ergasias S.A. in the first half of the current year. The aforementioned action is part of the refinancing strategy of the short-term bank loans through more long-term loans. Consequently, the total short-term bank loans of the Company on 30.06.2017 decreased by 4.000 th. € and amounted to 10.000 th. € compared to 14.000 th. € on 31.12.2016. Under the above-mentioned refinancing, the Company issued a common bond loan of 6.000 th. € with National Bank of Greece on August 2nd 2017.
The following table presents the sensitivity analysis of the results of the period as well as the net equity to a change of the interest rate of +1% or -1%. The relevant influence is presented as follows:
The results of the period as well as the Net Equity of the Group and of the Company, in this case, would decrease by 160 th. € and 118 th. € on 01.01-30.06.2017 and 01.01-30.06.2016 respectively.
The results of the period as well as the Net Equity of the Group and of the Company, in this case, would increase by 160 th. € and 118 th. € on 01.01-30.06.2017 and 01.01-30.06.2016 respectively.
Taking into account the increased variance regarding the interest rate, the Management of the Group monitors the course of interest rates and assumes all the necessary actions to smooth any negative effects. In any case, the limited exposure of the Group to debt capital results to consider the risk of significantly low interest rates, globally, as not material. In addition, cash and cash equivalents of the Group on 30.06.2017 exceed the total of the Group's borrowings by 19.465 th. €.
Credit risk is managed on Group level. Retail sales are collected in cash or by credit cards. For wholesales the Group has the necessary policies in order to ensure that sales are made to customers with an appropriate credit record. Furthermore, the biggest part of the Group's receivables, is insured.
On June 30th 2017 the total balance of customers and other trade receivables for the Group and the Company, was 19.729 € and 18.917 th. €, while the provision for doubtful receivables was 3.993 th. € and 3.921 th. €. On 31.12.2016 the total balance of customers and other trade receivables, for the Group and the Company, was slightly increased to 20.697 th. € and 19.805 th. €, while the provision for doubtful receivables came up to 4.775 th. € and 4.700 th. € for the Group and the Company respectively.
The financial liabilities of the Group and for the Company are analyzed as follows:
| THE GROUP 30.06.2017 | up to12 months | from 1 up to2 years | from 2up to5 years |
|---|---|---|---|
| Suppliers & Other Short term liabilities | 28.983 | 0 | 0 |

| Loans & Interest | 14.859 | 621 | 301 |
| Total | 53.528 | 621 | 301 |
The Group considers its liabilities to suppliers as short-term. In the same category it includes other short term liabilities and tax liabilities. In the first semester of 2017, the Group achieved to reduce the relevant liabilities by more
than 10 m. €, compared to 2016, by exploiting its wide liquidity. As a result, the working capital ratio improved from 2,1x to 2,6x and the commercial relationships with the suppliers were strengthened.
Taking into consideration all the above mentioned acknowledgments and the wide liquidity, at this moment and for the rest of the fiscal period, this particular risk is considered under the Group's control.
The Group and Company objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group and Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
In the following tables the net borrowing of the Company and the Group, that as mentioned before is negative, is presented.

It is noted that the decrease of the net liquidity of the Group is attributed almost exclusively by the strategic policy of the Management to decrease its liabilities to suppliers in the first half of 2017.
The Group makes estimates and assumptions based on historical data and expectations concerning the development of future events. In the Financial Statements of June 30th 2017, the basic accounting principles and estimates of the Financial Position of December 31st 2016 have been preserved.
The Management of the Group recognizes three main segments of its operation (the product categories): a) office products, b) PCs & Digital Technology products and c) telecommunications products), as its main operation segments. The before mentioned operation segments are those used by the management team for internal purposes and the strategic decisions are thus made, taking into consideration the results, efficiency and productivity of each one separately. There are two more segments of a less importance and are included in the category "other". The main source of revenue for these two segments is the provision of service for the PCs and the provision of transportation services.

| THE GROUP | THE COMPANY | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Net Change of the Period | (782) | (662) | (779) | (660) |
| Balance at the end of the period 30/06 | 3.993 | 4.475 | 3.921 | 4.402 |
The above mentioned bad debt provision includes:
a) a strictly defined provision for all the customers that have been characterized as doubtful
b) a specific provision for all the customers that have overdue balances based on the ageing of their balances
c) a provision, based on the increased level of risk because of the conditions of the economic environment. It is noted that this provision includes also non overdue receivables. For this provision the balances of all the customers have been taken into account, with the exception of the receivables from Plaisio Computers JSC, as it is considered that there is no risk of non-collection of these balances
d) a provision for the balances from the Public Sector
On 30.06.2017 the total balance of customers and other trade receivables for the Group and the Company, was 19.729 € and 18.917 th. €, while the provision for doubtful receivables was 3.993 th. € and 3.921 th. €, for the Group and the Company respectively.
