Independent Auditor's Report

To the Shareholders of Quest Holdings SA

Report on the Audit of the Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying separate and consolidated financial statements of Quest Holdings SA which comprise the separate and consolidated statement of financial position (or balance sheet) as of 31 December 2016 and the separate and consolidated income statement and statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement for the year then ended and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management's Responsibility for the Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these separate and consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the European Union, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of separate and consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these separate and consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing which have been transposed into Greek Law (GG/B'/2848/23.10.2012). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the separate 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 separate and consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the separate 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 separate 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 separate 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.

2. Structure of the Group

The structure of the Quest Holdings group is presented as follows:

3. Summary of significant accounting policies

3.1 Preparation framework of the financial information

These financial statements have been prepared by the Management in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), including International Reporting Standards ("IAS"), and the interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee, that have been approved by the European Union, and IFRS that have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of availablefor-sale financial assets, and financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires the Management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. Moreover, it requires the use of estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of preparation of the financial information and the reported income and expense amounts during the reporting period. Although these estimates and judgments are based on the best possible knowledge of the Management with respect to the current conditions and activities, the actual results can eventually differ from these estimates. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in note 5.

Differences between amounts presented in the financial statements and corresponding amounts in the notes results from rounding differences.

for the year ended 31 December 2016

(Amounts presented in thousand Euro except otherwise stated)

3.2 Business Continuity:

The Group and the Company fulfill their needs for working capital through cash flows generated, including bank lending.

Current economic conditions continue to limit the demand for the Group's and Company's products, as well as their liquidity for the foreseeable future.

The Group and the Company, taking into account possible changes in their business performance, create a reasonable expectation that the Company and the Group have adequate resources to seamlessly continue their business operations in the near future.

Therefore, the Group and the Company continue to adopt the "principle of business continuity of their activities" during the preparation of the separate and consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016

3.3 Economic conditions risk - macroeconomic business environment in Greece:

Economic environment and discussions at national and international level about the terms, completion time and evaluation of the financing package in Greece, make the macroeconomic and financial environment volatile in the country. The return to economic stability mainly depends by the actions and decisions of the institutions in the country and abroad. Taking into consideration the nature of the activities and the financial condition of the Company and the Group, any negative macroeconomic changes are not expected to significantly affect the smooth function of the Company and the Group, if they will apply for a short period of time. Nevertheless, the Administration continually evaluates the situation and its possible consequences, to ensure that all necessary and possible precautions are taken to minimize any impact on the activities of the Company and the Group.

More specifically, the Group examined:

• The ability to repay or refinance existing borrowings, given that there is sufficient cash and the Group is not exposed to significant short-term borrowing.

  • The collection of trade receivables, as strict credit policy has been applied per case.
  • Ensuring the level of sales because of the dispersion of its activities
  • The recoverability of the value of tangible and intangible assets, as the Group annually adjust these values based on their fair value.

Differences between amounts presented in the financial statements and the respective amounts in the notes are due to rounding.

3.4 New standards, amendments to standards and interpretations:

New standards, amendments to standards and interpretations: Certain new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been issued that are mandatory for periods beginning during the current financial year and subsequent years. The Group's evaluation of the effect of these new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations is as follows:

Standards and Interpretations effective for the current financial year

IAS 19R (Amendment) "Employee Benefits"

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.

IFRS 11 (Amendment) "Joint Arrangements"

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'.

Financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016

(Amounts presented in thousand Euro except otherwise stated)

IAS 16 and IAS 38 (Amendments) "Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortisation

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.

IAS 16 and IAS 41 (Amendments) "Agriculture: Bearer plants"

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.

IAS 27 (Amendment) "Separate financial statements"

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.

IAS 1 (Amendments) "Disclosure initiative"

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.

IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 28 (Amendments) "Investment entities: Applying the consolidation exception"

These amendments clarify the application of the consolidation exception for investment entities and their subsidiaries.

Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2012

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.

IFRS 2 "Share-based payment"

The amendment clarifies the definition of a 'vesting condition' and separately defines 'performance condition' and 'service condition'.

IFRS 3 "Business combinations"

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.

IFRS 8 "Operating segments"

The amendment requires disclosure of the judgements made by management in aggregating operating segments.

IFRS 13 "Fair value measurement"

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.

IAS 16 "Property, plant and equipment" and IAS 38 "Intangible assets"

Both standards are amended to clarify how the gross carrying amount and the accumulated depreciation are treated where an entity uses the revaluation model.

for the year ended 31 December 2016

(Amounts presented in thousand Euro except otherwise stated)

IAS 24 "Related party disclosures"

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.

Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2014

The amendments set out below describe the key changes to four IFRSs.

IFRS 5 "Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations"

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.

IFRS 7 "Financial instruments: Disclosures"

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.

IAS 19 "Employee benefits"

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.

IAS 34 "Interim financial reporting"

The amendment clarifies what is meant by the reference in the standard to 'information disclosed elsewhere in the interim financial report'.

Standards and Interpretations effective for subsequent periods

IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" and subsequent amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018)

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 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018)

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 "Leases" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019)

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.

for the year ended 31 December 2016

(Amounts presented in thousand Euro except otherwise stated)

IAS 12 (Amendments) "Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised Losses" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017)

These amendments clarify the accounting for deferred tax assets for unrealised losses on debt instruments measured at fair value. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU.

IAS 7 (Amendments) "Disclosure initiative" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017)

These amendments require entities to provide disclosures that enable users of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU.

IFRS 2 (Amendments) "Classification and measurement of Shared-based Payment transactions" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018)

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.

IFRS 4 (Amendments) "Applying IFRS 9 Financial instruments with IFRS 4 Insurance contracts" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018)

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.

IAS 40 (Amendments) "Transfers of Investment Property" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018)

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.

IFRIC 21 "Foreign currency transactions and advance consideration" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018)

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.

Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2014 (2014 – 2016 Cycle) (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017)

The amendments set out below describe the key changes to two IFRSs. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU.

IFRS 12 "Disclosures of Interests in Other Entities"

The amendement clarified that the disclosures requirement of IFRS 12 are applicable to interest in entities classified as held for sale except for summarised financial information.

IAS 28 "Investments in associates and Joint ventures"

The amendements 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.

for the year ended 31 December 2016

(Amounts presented in thousand Euro except otherwise stated)

3.5 Consolidated financial statements

(a) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group.

The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition by the Group. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any minority interest. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Group's share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the group's share of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised directly in the income statement

Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Subsidiaries' accounting policies have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

The Company accounts for its investment in subsidiaries, in its stand alone accounts, on the cost less impairment basis.

(b) Associates

Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for by the equity method of accounting and are initially recognised at cost. The Group's investment in associates includes goodwill (net of any accumulated impairment loss) identified on acquisition.

The Group's share of its associates' post acquisition profits or losses is recognized in the income statement, & its share of postacquisition movements in reserves is recognized in reserves. The cumulative post acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. When the Group's share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group doesn't recognize further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

Unrealized gains on transactions between the Group & its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group's interest in the associates. Accounting policies of associates have been changed when necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

Although the Group has certain investments in which its share is between 20% and 50%, it does not exercise significant influence, since the other shareholders either individually or collectively have the control. For this reason, the Group classifies the above investments as available for sale financial assets.

(c) Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group's share of the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary/ associate at the date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill on acquisition of associates is included in investment of associates. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.

Goodwill is allocated to cash – generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those cash – generating units (CGU) or groups of CGU that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose identified according to operating segment.

Financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016

(Amounts presented in thousand Euro except otherwise stated)

3.6 Segmental reporting

A business segment is a group of assets and operations engaged in providing products or services that are subject to risks and returns that are different from those of other business segments.

A geographical segment is engaged in providing products or services within a particular economic environment that is subject to risks and returns that are different from those of segments operating in other economic environments.

The nature and the source of the Group's income are used as the basis of determining its primary and secondary segments. The Group has concluded that its primary segment should be based on the nature of its products and services and its secondary segment should be based on the geographic location of its operations.

3.7 Foreign currency translation

(a) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the 'functional currency').

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Euros, which is the Company's functional and presentation currency.

(b) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at the year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the income statement. Translation differences on non – monetary financial assets & liabilities are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss.

(c) Group companies

The results and financial position of all group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the present currency as follows:

  • i. Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet
  • ii. Income and expenses for each income statement are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions) and
  • iii. All resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of equity and transferred in Income Statement with the sale of those entities.

Exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign entities are recognised in equity. When a foreign operation is sold, such exchange differences are recognised in the income statement as part of the gain or loss on sale.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate.

3.8 Property, plant and equipment

All property, plant and equipment ("PPE") is shown at cost less subsequent depreciation and impairment. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group higher than the initially expected according to the initial return of the financial asset and under the assumption that the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.

for the year ended 31 December 2016

(Amounts presented in thousand Euro except otherwise stated)

Interest cost on borrowings specifically used to finance construction of property plant and equipment are capitalized during the construction period. All other interest expense is included in profit & loss statement.

Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on PPE is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of each asset to its residual value over its estimated useful life, in order to write down the cost in its residual value. The expected useful life of property, plant and equipment is as follows:

Buildings (and leasehold improvements): 50 years

Machinery: 1-5 years

Technical installations & other equipment: 5-20 years

Transportation equipment: 5-8 years

Telecommunication equipment: 9-13 years

Furniture and fittings: 7-10 years

The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.

When the carrying amount of the asset is higher than its recoverable amount, the resulting difference (impairment loss) is recognized immediately as an expense in the Income Statement.

In case of sale of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying amount is recognized as profit or loss in the income statement.

3.9 Intangible Assets

(a) Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group's share of the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary/ associate at the date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill on acquisition of associates is included in investment of associates. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.

Goodwill is allocated to cash – generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those cash – generating units (CGU) or groups of CGU that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose identified according to operating segment.

(b) Concessions and industrial rights

Concessions and industrial rights are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment loss. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of each asset to its estimated useful life.

Brand name: 30 years

Licenses for production of electric power: 5 years

(c) Computer software

The computer software licenses are carried at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of each asset to its estimated useful life, which is 4 years.

Expenditures for the maintenance of software are recognized as expenses in the income statement when they occur.

When the carrying amount of the intangible assets is higher than its recoverable amount, the resulting difference (impairment loss) is recognized immediately as an expense in the Income Statement.

Financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016

(Amounts presented in thousand Euro except otherwise stated)

3.10 Impairment of assets

Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment and whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Assets that are subject to amortisation are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Impairment losses are recognised as an expense to the Income Statement, when they occur.

3.11 Financial assets

The Group classifies its financial assets into the categories detailed below and depends on the purpose for which the assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition and re-evaluates this designation at every reporting date.

(a) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and with no intention of trading. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the balance sheet date. These are classified as non-current assets. The Group's loans and receivables comprise "trade and other receivables" in the balance sheet.

(b) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

This category has three sub-categories: financial assets held for trading, those designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception and derivatives unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current if they are either held for trading or are expected to be realised within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

(c) Investments held-to-maturity

Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities that the Group's management has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. The Group did not hold any investments in this category during the year.

(d) Available for sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Purchases and sales of investments are recognised on trade-date – the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.

Investments are initially recognized at fair value plus any transaction cost.

Available for sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are presented at fair value.

Realized and unrealized gains or losses from changes in fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recorded in the income statement when they occur.

Unrealized gains or losses from changes in fair value of financial assets that classified as available for sale are recognized in revaluation reserve. In case of sale or impairment of available for sale financial assets, the accumulated fair value adjustments are transferred to profit or loss.

The fair values of quoted investments are based on current bid prices. If the market for a financial asset is not active (and for unlisted securities), the Group establishes fair value by using valuation techniques. These include the use of recent arm's length transactions, reference to other instruments that are substantially the same and discounted cash flow analysis refined to reflect the issuer's specific circumstances.

The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. In the case of equity securities classified as available for sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered in determining whether the securities are impaired. If any such evidence exists for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss – measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit or loss – is removed from equity and

(Amounts presented in thousand Euro except otherwise stated)

recognised in the income statement. Impairment losses recognised in the income statement on equity instruments are not reversed through the income statement.

3.12 Derivative financial instruments and hedging accounting

Derivative financial instruments include forward exchange contracts, currency and interest-rate swaps.

Derivatives are initially recognised on balance sheet at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value. Fair values are obtained from quoted market prices and discounted cash flow models.

All derivatives are carried as assets when fair value is positive and as liabilities when fair value is negative.

The gains and losses on derivative financial instruments held for trading are included in the income statement.

3.13 Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average method. It excludes borrowing costs. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less any applicable selling expenses.

3.14 Trade receivables

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for impairment of trade receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. The amount of the provision is recognised in the income statement.

3.15 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short term highly liquid investments of three months or less & bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the balance sheet.

3.16 Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations

Non-current assets (or disposal groups) are classified as assets held for sale and stated at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell if their carrying amount is recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through a continuing use.

3.17 Share Capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown after the reduction of the relative income tax in reduction to the product of issue. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares for the acquisition of other entities are included in the cost of acquisition of the new company.

Where any Group company purchases the Company's equity share capital (treasury shares), the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes), is deducted from equity attributable to the Company's equity holders until the shares are cancelled, reissued or disposed of. Where such shares are subsequently sold or reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the Company's equity holders.

3.18 Borrowings

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.

Financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016

(Amounts presented in thousand Euro except otherwise stated)

3.19 Deferred income tax

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. The deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction affects either accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

3.20 Employee benefits

(a) Short-term benefits

Short-term employee benefits in cash and in items are recognized as an expense when they become accrued.

(b) Retirement benefits

The Group participates in retirement schemes in accordance with the Greek practices and conditions by paying into applicable social security schemes. These schemes are both funded and unfunded.

A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate social security fund. The Group has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.

A defined benefit plan comprise retirement benefit plans according to which the Group pays to the employee an amount upon retirement that is based on the employee's period of service, age and salary.

The liability in respect of defined benefit plans, including certain unfunded termination indemnity benefit plans, is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date together with adjustments for actuarial gains/ losses and past service cost. The defined benefit obligation is calculated by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method.

Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments, changes in actuarial assumptions and amendments to pension plans, which exceed 10% of the compounded obligation, are charged or credited to income over the average remaining service lives of the related employees.

Past service costs are recognised in the profit and loss account; with the exception of movements in the related obligation that are based on the average remaining service lives of the related employees. In this instance the past service cost is amortised to the profit and loss account on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

(c) Termination benefits

Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated before the normal retirement date, or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Group recognises termination benefits when it is demonstrably committed to either terminating the employment of current employees according to a detailed formal plan without possibility of withdrawal or providing termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after balance sheet date are discounted to present value.

In case of termination of employment where there is weakness to determine the number of employees that will use these benefits, they are not accounted for but disclosed as a contingent liability.

3.21 Grants

Government grants are recognised at fair value when it is virtually certain that the grant will be received and the group will comply with anticipated conditions.

for the year ended 31 December 2016

(Amounts presented in thousand Euro except otherwise stated)

Government grants relating to expenses are deferred and recognized in the income statement over the period necessary to match them with the costs they are intended to compensate.

Government grants relating to the purchase of property, plant and equipment are included in non-current liabilities as deferred government grants and are credited to the income statement on a straight line basis over the expected lives of the related assets.

3.22 Provisions

Provisions are recognized when:

  • i. There is present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events
  • ii. It is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation
  • iii. The amount can be reliably estimated

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

Provisions are measured at the present value of management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet data (see Note 4). The discount rate used to determine the present value reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the increases specific to the liability.

3.21 Revenue recognition

Revenue comprises the fair value of the sale of goods and services, net of value-added tax, rebates and discounts and after eliminating sales within the Group. Revenue is recognised as follows:

(a) Sales of goods

Sales of goods are recognized when a Group entity has delivered products to the customer; the customer has accepted the products; and collectability of the related receivables is reasonably assured. In cases of guarantees of money returns for sale of goods, returns are counted at each financial year-end as a reduction of income, according to prior period statistical information.

(b) Sales of services

Sales of services are recognized in the accounting period in which the services are rendered, by reference to completion of the specific transaction assessed on the basis of the actual service provided as a proportion of the total services to be provided.

d) Contracts for projects under construction

A construction contract is a contract concluded specifically for the construction of an asset or a combination of assets that are closely related or interdependent in terms of their design, technology and function or their purpose or use.

Expenses regarding construction contracts are recognized when incurred.

When a construction contract cannot be reliably assessed, as income from the contract are recognized only the expenses incurred and expected to be collected.

When the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, revenue and expenses of the contract are recognized as income and expense respectively. The Group uses the percentage of completion method to determine the appropriate amount of income and expense to be recognized in a specific period. The completion stage is measured based on the expenses incurred to the balance sheet date compared to the total estimated costs for each contract. When the total contract cost is likely to exceed the total revenue, the expected loss is recognized immediately in the income statement as an expense.

To determine the total cost until the end of the period of a contract, expenses related to future activities are excluded and appear as work in progress. The total cost and the profit / loss recognized for each contract is compared with the progressive invoicing until the end of the year.

Where the expenses, plus net profits (less losses) exceeds the progressive invoicing, the difference appears as a receivable from construction contract customers in the account "Trade and other receivables". When progress billings exceed costs incurred plus net profits (less losses) recognized, the balance appears as a liability towards construction contract customers in the account "Suppliers and other creditors".

Financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016

(Amounts presented in thousand Euro except otherwise stated)

(d) Interest income

Interest income is recognized on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest method. When a receivable is impaired, the Group reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount, being the estimated future cash flow discounted at the original effective interest rate of the instrument, and continues unwinding the discount as interest income. Afterwards, interests are calculated by using the same rate on the impaired value (new carrying amount).

(e) Dividends income

Dividend income is recognised when the shareholder's right to receive payment is established.

3.24 Leases

Leases of property, plant and equipment, where the Group has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership, are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the lease's inception at the lower of the fair value of the leased property and the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in liabilities. The interest element of the finance cost is charged to the income statement over the lease period. The property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases is depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term.

Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the income statement on a straightline basis over the period of the lease.

3.25 Dividend distribution

Dividend distribution to the Company's shareholders is recognised as a liability in the Group's financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Company's shareholders.

3.26 Investment property

Property held for long-term rental yields which is not occupied by the companies in the consolidated Group is classified as investment property. Investment property is carried at fair value. Fair value is based on active market prices, adjusted, if necessary, for any difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset.

3.27 Suppliers

Trade payables are the obligations of payment for goods or services that have been acquired during the performance of typical commercial activity by suppliers. Trade payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as noncurrent liabilities. Trade payables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

3.28 Comparative figures and rounding

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Differences between amounts presented in the financial statements and corresponding amounts in the notes results from rounding differences.

4. Financial risk management

4.1 Financial risk factors

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange price, 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.

Risk management is carried out by a central treasury department (Group Treasury) under policies approved by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as written policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest-rate risk and credit risk.

(a) Currency risk

The Group operates in Europe and consequently the major part of the Group's transactions is denominated in Euros. Nevertheless, part of the Group's purchases of goods are denominated in US Dollar. The prompt payment of these trade payables decreases significantly the exchange rate risk. The Group's firm policy is to avoid purchasing foreign currency in advance and contracting FX future contracts with external parties.

(b) Credit risk

The Group has set and applies procedures of credit control in order to minimize the bad debts and cover receivables with securities. Commercial risk is relatively low as sales are allocated in a large number of customers. The wholesales are made mainly in customers with an assessed credit history. Credit control management sets credit limits for each customer and applies certain conditions on sales and receipts. Whenever necessary, the Group requests customers to provide security for outstanding receivables.

The distribution of trade and other receivables presented as follows:

(c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is keeping in low levels by having adequate cash and cash equivalent and by using adequate credit limits with collaborating banks.

The following table shows the maturing analysis of financial liabilities and derivatives of the Group:

(d) Interest fluctuation risk

As the Group has no significant interest bearing assets, the Group's income & operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates. Group borrowing are issued at variable rates, and according to market conditions, can be changed to fixed or remain variable. Group does not use financial derivatives.

Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group at fair value interest rate risk.

(e) Economic conditions risk - macroeconomic business environment in Greece

Economic conditions and discussions at national and international level about the terms of the financing program of Greece, create a volatile macroeconomic and financial environment. To achieve economic stability is largely depended on the actions and decisions of the institutions in the country and abroad. Given the nature of activities and financial condition of the Company and the Group, the smooth function is not to expected to be significantly affected.

Nevertheless, the management constantly assess the situation and its possible consequences, to ensure that all necessary possible measures and actions are taken to minimize any impact on the activities of the Company and the Group.

More specifically, the Group examined and is capable for:

• The ability to repay or refinance the existing borrowings, as there is sufficient cash and the Group is not exposed to significant short-term borrowing.

  • The collection of trade receivables as strict credit policy has been implemented.
  • Ensuring the level of sales ratio due to the dispersion of its activities

• The recoverability of the value of tangible and intangible assets as the Group annually adjust these values based on their fair value.

(f) Interest fluctuation risk

The Group's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the group's ability to continue operating in providing returns for shareholders and for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure in order to reduce the cost of capital.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or raise debt.

4.2 Determination of fair values

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (stock exchanges) (e.g. derivatives, shares, debentures, mutual funds) is determined by quoted market prices at the balance sheet date.

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in active markets is determined by using valuation techniques and assumptions refined to reflect the market's specific circumstances at the balance sheet date.

The nominal value of trade receivables is assumed to approximate their fair values. The fair values of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes are estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Group for similar financial instruments.

5. Critical accounting estimates and judgments

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

5.1 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

The Group makes estimates and judgements concerning the future. The estimates and judgements that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next 12 months' concern:

(a) Income tax

Judgement is required by the Group in determining the provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

(b) Estimated goodwill impairment

The impairment test of Goodwill's value is performed annually according to the accounting policy which is mentioned in note 2 (a). The recoverable amounts of cash generating units have been determined based on value in use calculations. These calculations require the use of estimates (see note 8).

(c) Estimated trade receivables impairment

The Group and the Company consider annually if their receivables have suffered any form of impairment. Recoverable amounts of receivables require estimates. Estimates are made taking into consideration the timing and amount of repayment of receivables and any collateral of claims received. These statements involve significant degree of subjectivity and require the judgment of management.

(d) Estimation of investments and non-financial assets impairment

Financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016

(Amounts presented in thousand Euro except otherwise stated)

The Company examine annually and whether the shareholdings and non-financial assets have suffered any impairment in accordance with accounting practices. The recoverable amounts of cash generating units have been determined based on value in use. These calculations require the use of estimates.

(e) Retirement obligations

The present value of retirement obligations depends on a number of factors that are determined using actuarial methods and assumptions. Such actuarial assumption is the discount rate used to calculate the cost of delivery. Changes in these assumptions will change the present value of the obligations in the balance sheet.

The Group and the Company determine the appropriate discount rate at the end of each year. This is defined as the rate that should be used to determine the present value of future cash flows, which are expected to be required to meet the obligations of the pension plans. Low risk corporate bonds are used to determine the appropriate discount rate, which are converted to the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and whose expiry date is approaching that of the related pension obligation.

(f) Estimated property investments impairment

When the book value of investments in property exceeds its recoverable amount, the difference is recognized as an expense. The Group monitors the recoverability of investments in real estate and makes the necessary accounting entries where required.

5.2 Critical management estimates in applying the entity's accounting policies

There are no areas that require management estimates in applying the Group's accounting policies.

6. Segment information

Primary reporting format – business segments

The Group is organised into four business segments:

  • (1) Information Technology solutions and equipment
  • (2) Information Technology solutions and equipment Apple products
  • (3) Courier & post services
  • (4) Production of electric power from renewable sources
  • (5) Financial Services

Management monitors the financial results of each business segment separately. These business segments are managed independently. The management making business decisions is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the business areas.

In Unallocated mainly included the Company's activity.

Following the acquisition of the company "Cardlink SA" in January 2015, the Group's management decided to classify the latter into a new business segment called Financial Services ".

The segment results for the year ended 31st of December 2016 and 31st of December 2015 are analysed as follows:

The amount of € 2.845 thousand concerns the value of the subsidiary's, "UNISYSTEMS S.A.", land, in Athens, which had been acquired in 2006 with initial plan the construction of offices.

In 2007 the management decided not to construct the mentioned offices. Thus, this land is owned for long term investment other than short term disposal, based on the requirements of I.F.R.S. 40 «Investment Properties» and thus has been transferred from Property, plant and equipment to Investment Properties.

The depreciation of € 10 thousand relates to small-scale installations associated with the above land.

The available-for-sale financial assets include mainly mutual funds and EU member bonds and investments in unquoted shares. The Group establishes the fair values of unlisted securities by using refined valuation techniques and estimations in order to reflect the market's specific circumstances at the financial statements date. The fair values of listed shares are based on bid prices of the date of the financial statement.

In the prior year, the amount of € (23.505) thousand in disposals, refers the EU state bond liquidation from "ACS" amounting € 7.507 thousand and € 15.998 thousandfrom liquidation of bonds held by the Company and its subsidiaries. The above liquidation of financial assets had no impact on Group results.

Furthermore, the amount of € 3.523 thousand in Group's additions is mainly the investment of the subsidiary "Info Quest Technologies S.A." (€ 1,500 thousand) and "Unisystems S.A". (€ 2,000 thousand) in low risk mutual funds. These investments were liquidated in the prior year without a significant effect on the results of the Group.

The value of the available-for-sale financial assets for the Group and the Company amounts to € 4.231 thousand, which relates to Company's investments in a percentage rating from 25% to 38%. However, the Company is not capable of exercising a significant influence to them, since other shareholders are controlling them either individually or in an agreement between them. For the above mentioned reason, the Company classifies the companies IASON S.A. (33,5% percentage), AMERICAN COMPUTERS & ENGINEERS HELLAS S.A. (35,48% percentage) and TEKA SYSTEMS S.A. (25% percentage) in the category "Available-for-sale financial assets".

Furthermore, the Company's management estimates that there are no further indications of impairment of available for sale financial assets and that this approximates the fair. The Company at year-end 2016 had made a revaluation of such securities by using discounted cash flows.

(a) Statutory reserve

The statutory reserve is created according to the provisions of Greek law (Law 2190/20, articles 44 and 45), according which an amount of at least 5% of the annual profit (after tax) must be transferred to the statutory reserve until it reaches a third of the repaid share capital. The statutory reserve can only be used, after approval of the Annual Ordinary General Assembly, to offset retained losses and therefore cannot be used for any other purpose.

(b) Available-for-sale reserve

The available-for-sale reserve includes non-realized profit or losses that occur from changes of the fair value of the financial assets that are reclassified as held for sale. In case of disposal or impairment of the held for sale financial assets, the cumulative readjustments of the fair value are transferred to P&L.

45. Construction contracts

Construction contracts refer to "Unisystems" constructions which need more than one year to be completed. When the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably and it is probable that the contract will be profitable, contract revenue is recognized over the period of the contract by reference to the stage of completion. Contract costs are recognized as expenses by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the end of the reporting period. When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognized as an expense immediately. The group uses the 'percentage-ofcompletion method' to determine the appropriate amount to recognize in a given period. The stage of completion is measured by reference to the contract costs incurred up to the end of the reporting period as a percentage of total estimated costs for each contract.
