Report on Review of Interim Financial Information
To the Shareholders of Quest Holdings S.A
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed company and consolidated statement of financial position of Quest Holdings S.A. (the "Company") as of 30 June 2017 and the related condensed company and consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month period then ended and the selected explanatory notes, that comprise the interim condensed financial information and which form an integral part of the six-month financial report as required by L.3556/2007. Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this condensed interim 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 International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34.
Our review has not revealed 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 interim condensed financial information.

This interim financial information covers the six-month period ended June 30th, 2017 and has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34 "Interim Financial Reporting".
The accounting policies used in the preparation and presentation of this interim financial information are the same as the accounting policies that were used by the Company and the Group for the preparation of the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31st, 2016.
The interim financial information must be considered in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31st, 2016, which are available on the Group's web site at the address www.quest.gr.
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of available-for-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.
Differences between amounts presented in the financial statements and corresponding amounts in the notes results from rounding differences.
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 period from January 1st, to June 30th, 2017.
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:
There are no new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations that are mandatory for periods beginning on 1.1.2017.
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.
(Amounts presented in thousand Euro except otherwise stated)
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.
IFRS 17 has been issued in May 2017 and supersedes IFRS 4. IFRS 17 establishes principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of insurance contracts within the scope of the Standard and its objective is to ensure that an entity provides relevant information that faithfully represents those contracts. The new standard solves the comparison problems created by IFRS 4 by requiring all insurance contracts to be accounted for in a consistent manner. Insurance obligations will be accounted for using current values instead of historical cost. The standard has not yet been endorsed by the EU.
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.
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.
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.
(Amounts presented in thousand Euro except otherwise stated)
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 currencydenominated contracts. The interpretation has not yet been endorsed by the EU.
The interpretation explains how to recognise and measure deferred and current income tax assets and liabilities where there is uncertainty over a tax treatment. IFRIC 23 applies to all aspects of income tax accounting where there is such uncertainty, including taxable profit or loss, the tax bases of assets and liabilities, tax losses and credits and tax rates. The interpretation has not yet been endorsed by the EU.
The amendments set out below describe the key changes to two IFRSs. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU.
The amendment clarified that the disclosures requirement of IFRS 12 are applicable to interest in entities classified as held for sale except for summarised financial information. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017.
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. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018.
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.
The implementation of Greece's economic adjustment programm establishes the country's macroeconomic and financial environment volatile. To a great extent, economic stability depends on the actions and decisions of domestic and foreign institutional bodies. Taking the nature of the Company's and Group's operations and financial status into consideration, any negative developments are not expected to significantly influence its smooth operation, provided these are in effect for a short term. Nevertheless, Management constantly evaluates the situation and possible implications, to ensure that all the necessary and possible measures are promptly taken in order to minimise any consequences in the Company's and Group's operations.
Specifically, the Group constantly examines and is capable of:
•Repaying or refinancing its existing borrowing given that it has sufficient cash and is not exposed to significant short-term borrowing.
•Recovering trade receivables given the strict credit policy and the per circumstance credit security that it implements.
•Ensuring sales levels given the dispersion of its operations
•Recovering tangible and intangible asset values given that the Group annually adapts these values based on their fair value.
(Amounts presented in thousand Euro except otherwise stated)
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty may cause financial loss to the Group and the Company to failure to fulfil its obligations.
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.
Furthermore, a significant portion of the Group's transactions, mainly through its subsidiaries ACS, Quest on Line, iStorm are made with cash. Also, Cardlink does not use credit, so there is no great exposure to credit risk. In addition Quest Energy sells to the Greek public operator. Finally, all Group companies have conducted sufficient provision. Cash and cash equivalents are also considered elements with high credit risk due to the current macroeconomic conditions in Greece. The majority of the Group's cash is invested with counterparties with a high credit rating and for short periods.
Liquidity risk is keeping in low levels by having adequate cash and cash equivalent and by using adequate credit limits with collaborating banks. However, the current conditions in the Greek banking system, may significantly affect the availability of additional funding for the development of our activities. Due to the lack of banking financing there may be a negative effect on the ability of our customers to timely repay their obligations to the Group companies, or reduce the current levels of product and service demand. To monitor the risk, the Group prepares forecasted cash flows on a regular basis.
The market risk created by the possibility that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and equity prices may affect the value of financial instruments held by the Group and the Company. The management of market risk refers in the effort of the Group and of the Company to manage and control exposure within acceptable limits.
The individual risks that are comprised in market risk are described below:
The risk of interest rate fluctuation is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.The Group's exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to long-term debt of the Group. The Group manages interest rate risk through floating rate loans which can be converted into a fixed rate if necessary. The Group uses financial derivatives swap through indirect subsidiary "; Quest Solar SA" to secure the bond loan kept by the latter. The interest rate risk arises from long-term loans. Fixed rate loans expose the Group to cash flow 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.
The primary objective of the Group and the Company regarding capital management is to ensure a strong credit rating and healthy capital ratios in order to support their operation and maximize value for the benefit of shareholders.
The Group and the Company manage their capital structure in order to harmonize with changes in the economic environment. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group and the Company may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares.
An important tool for managing capital is the use of the leverage ratio (the ratio of net debt to equity) which is monitored at Group level. In the calculation of net debt are used the interest-bearing loans and debts, less the cash and cash equivalents.
(Amounts presented in thousand Euro except otherwise stated)
The leverage ratio of 2017 compared to 2016:
| GROUP | ||
|---|---|---|
| 30/06/2017 | 31/12/2016 | |
| Total borrowings (Note 16) | 37.260 | 46.073 |
| Less : Cash and cash equivalents (Note 21) | (58.157) | (65.931) |
| Net Borrowings | (20.897) | (19.858) |
| Total equity | 162.092 | 165.958 |
| Total employed capital | 141.195 | 146.100 |
| Leverage ratio | -14,80% | -13,59% |
The Group uses the following levels to define the fair value of the financial instruments by valuation method:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices).
Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs).
During the current period there were no transfers between Levels 1 and 2, and no transfers from and to level 3 for fair value measurement.
The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, customers, treasury, and suppliers are close to their book values. The fair value of other financial assets and financial liabilities are determined based on discounted cash flows using directly or indirectly observable inputs and are included in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Company and the Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. Estimates and assumptions involving significant risk adjustment to the carrying value of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below.
Estimates and assumptions are continually reassessed and are based on historical experience as adjusted for current market conditions and other factors, including expectations of future events which are considered reasonable under the circumstances.
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.
The Company examines the overdue balances of customers and whether exceeding the credit policies. The Company makes impairments of doubtful balances and creates corresponding provisions based on estimations. Estimates are made taking into consideration the timing and amount of repayment of receivables and any collateral of claims received. In particular, when there are guarantees, the Company creates provisions for doubtful debts, with percentage less than 100% of the claim. These statements involve significant degree of subjectivity and require the judgment of management.
(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.
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.
The Company has pending legal cases. Management evaluates the outcome of the cases and, if there is a potential negative outcome then the Company makes the necessary provisions. The provisions, when they are required are calculated based on the present value of management's estimation of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date. This value is based on a number of factors which require the exercise of judgment.
The Group is organised into five business segments:
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.

Under the provisions of IFRS on the valuation of subsidiaries (IAS 36 - Impairment of Assets) contributions have been valuated at the lower value between acquisition and recoverable value. The recoverable amount was determined at the end of the previous year 2016, using the method of the projected discounted cash flows (DCF) of the Group financial budgets which are approved by management. The Company's management believes that there are no indications of impairment of its subsidiaries value and that it approximates the fair.
In addition to the above subsidiaries, the Group consolidated financial statements also include the indirect investments as they are presented below:
All the subsidiaries (direct & indirect) of the Company as well as the method of their consolidation are also mentioned in Note 24 (Periods unaudited by the tax authorities).
After the capital increase of "Quest Energy S.A." the indirect investment of the Company in "ALPENER S.A." amounts to 49.5%.

No other significant changes have been realized in "Investments in subsidiaries".
