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

This interim financial information covers the three-month period ended March 31st, 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.

(Amounts presented in thousand Euro except otherwise stated)

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 March 31st, 2017.

3.2 Macroeconomic conditions in Greece – Capital controls

The macroeconomic and financial environment in Greece has become volatile due to the completion of the Greek evaluation program. The return to economic stability largely depends on the actions and decisions of the institutions in the country and abroad. Taking into consideration the nature of the activities and financial condition of the Company and the Group, any negative developments are not expected to significantly affect the smooth functioning if they apply for a short time. Nevertheless, the management continually assess the situation and its possible consequences, to ensure that all necessary and possible measures and actions are taking on time to minimize any negative impacts on the Company's and Group's activities.

In particular, the Group examined and have sufficient capacity for the following:

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

• The recoverability of trade receivables, given the strict credit policy.

• Ensuring the level of sales due to the dispersion of its activities.

• The recoverability of the value of tangible and intangible assets, as the Group adjusts least annually these values based on fair value.

3.3 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

New standards, amendments to standards and interpretations: Certain new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been issued that are mandatory for periods beginning on or after 1.1.2017. 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

There are no new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations that are mandatory for periods beginning on 1.1.2017.

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.

(Amounts presented in thousand Euro except otherwise stated)

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.

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 22 "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 currencydenominated 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.

4 Critical accounting estimates and judgments

Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical data, forecasts and expectations of future events that are deemed reasonable under the circumstances

5 Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

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.

(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 trade receivables impairment

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.

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

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.

(d) 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.

(Amounts presented in thousand Euro except otherwise stated)

(e) Provisions for pending legal cases

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.

Current period:

In Group level, the assets held through leasing amounted to € 24.182 thousand with accumulated depreciation amounting to € 6.568 thousand.

Previous year:

For the Group, the amount of € 4.305 thousand of the Impairments relates to provisions for impairments in Company's land and building through the income statement of the closed fiscal year.

For the Group, the amount of € 4.630 thousand minus € 4.490 thousand in accumulated depreciations relates mainly to the destruction of computer equipment of the subsidiary Info Quest Technologies.

For the Group, the amount of € 12.751 thousand in group's vehicle and machinery equipment mainly concerns Cardlink's additions through leasing terminals electronic transactions (POS).

For the Group, the amount of € 30.341 thousand in group's disposals of subsidiaries minus € 7.006 thousand relates to the disposal of the indirect subsidiaries Quest Solar S.A. and Quest Solar Almirou S.A. (note 29).

for the period ended 31 March 2017

(Amounts presented in thousand Euro except otherwise stated)

The amount of € 2.067 thousand minus € 2.127 in Group's accumulated depreciation relates to part of the contribution of buildings and equipment to the subsidiary «BriQ Properties R.E.I.C.» (note 28). According to IFRS 13 (Fair Value Measurement), the Company's Management believes that the carrying value of the asset group "Land and buildings" approximates the fair value and that there are no indications yielded for extra impairments in this Financial Report. These assumptions will be reviewed in the annual financial statements of 2017.

The amount of € 25.537 thousand of goodwill contains € 4.932 thousand for the acquisition of «Rainbow AE», which absorbed in 2010 by the 100% subsidiary "iSquare SA", € 3.785 thousand from the acquisition of minority interests of the subsidiary "ACS SA" and the amount of € 16.820 thousand the goodwill of the acquired company named "Cardilink SA".

Goodwill is allocated to the Group's cash generating units (CGU) identified according to country of operation & business segment. The recoverable amount of a CGU is determined based on value in use calculations. These calculations are pre-tax cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management and cover a five-year period.

The key assumptions used for value-in-use calculations are consistent with the external information sources. For the "Apple products distribution" segment, these are: discount rate: 9,9%, sales growth rate: 3%, gross margin: 8%, growth rate in perpetuity: 1,5%. Concerning the segment of courier services, the key assumptions are: discount rate: 9,9%, sales growth rate: 3%, gross margin: 27%, growth rate in perpetuity: 1,5%. Relating to the segment of financial services: discount rate: 10,5%, sales growth rate:9%, EBITDA margin: 34%, growth rate in perpetuity: 1%. The budgeted gross margin is calculated based on the gross margins of the previous year increased by the expected efficiency improvement.

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:

  • The 100% held subsidiary of "ACS S.A.", "ACS Courier SH.pk.", which is established in Albania, the 100% held subsidiary of "ACS S.A.", "GPS" and the 100% subsidiary INVEST LIMITED based in the United Kingdom.
