Therefore, in the whole year it is estimated that the course of the group shall be positive in comparison to 2018 in all basic lines of Sales results, EBITDA earnings and ΕΒΤ & ΕΑΤ.
The 1st Semester of 2019 was a transitional period of preparation and search for opportunities without any significant change. For the rest of 2019, basic goal of the Company is the maintenance of an operating model with limited operating costs for the consolidated figures of the Group, the reevaluation and improvement of the structure of the Group. At the same time, attention is paid to the enforcement and growth of the operating figures of subsidiaries for the achievement of their goals and the implementation of their strategic plans, and to the search for new investment opportunities in the same or new sectors with higher profit margins.
In detail, the situation and perspectives per activity sector/subsidiary are the following:
(Distribution of products and IT solutions)
Ιn the first semester of 2019, Info Quest Technologies SA has an increase of sales +13.9% in a stagnant or slightly positive local IT & Telecommunications market. The net profitability of the company was positively affected by the reversal of the provision for retrospective copyrights (based on Article 104 of Law 4605/2019). However, the conditions of the market and intense competitiveness led to a slight decrease of the percentage of gross profitability.
Aiming over time to creating value for its customers, partners, shareholders and employees, following systematically the rapid changes and perspectives brought by new technologies and investing in qualified personnel, Info Quest Technologies SA, in the 1st semester of 2019, continued its investments, aiming to the further broadening of its activities and to its transformation, with the objective of excellent operation and more effective service of its customers, achieving:

Continuance of its digital transformation by further use of digital tools and applications and improvement of its efficiency.
In the 1st semester of 2019, Info Quest Technologies achieved its goals, establishing strong foundations for growth throughout the year.
More analytically, regarding the distribution of IT products, the company in a stable/ slightly increased ICT market, has showed an increase ( + 9.1% and + 8.6% in large-series products and value-added products respectively), broadened its market shares and significantly enforced its know-how in sectors like cybersecurity, collaboration & software. At the same time, it further used digital tools and automations, such as e-Invoicing & and the automated pricing system AI, improving its efficiency. Given the anticipated stability in the economy and the implementation of projects which were delayed due to the elections, the company anticipates for the 2nd semester a further broadening of its activities.
At the end of the 2nd semester, the company, based on its five-year development strategic plan, began its involvement in the distribution of air-conditioners. The first positive results of the new activity establish strong foundations and heritage for further development in the sector.
In the sector of Mobility/Xiaomi products, Info Quest Technologies, after a very difficult first quarter, which led to the decline of sales and gross profitability, managed to recover in all figures, showing especially good performance and +14% increase of sales in comparison to the previous year. In the Smartphone sector, it was established at the 3rd place of the local smartphone market with a market share which reached 19% on June, the largest share until today and increase +10% in sales in comparison to the previous year. Respectively, all smart products of Xiaomi were successful. The range of products was enriched by new products, the rollerskater was the leader of the market and, in total, and sales of the ecosystem were increased by 56%. Especially in the firld of fitness, Xiaomi remained the undisputable leader of the market with a share that reaches 33% (in units) and almost double sales in units in comparison to the previous year. In the 1st semester, the first Mi Zone was created, a specialized sector of demonstration and sale of Xiaomi products, within a store of a large retail chain. In the 2nd semester of the year, it is anticipated that success shall continue, with further enlargement of the market share of Smartphones (the goal is 20%), further increase of the sales of the ecosystem, further development of sales in Cyprus, establishment of 4 more Mi Zones & creation of a second Mi Store in Athens. In addition, the further broadening of the range of products by new ones is anticipated, both in the sector of Smartphones by new 5G and in the sector of consumer electronics.
In the other pillar of development, Cloud services and Digital Distribution, Info Quest Technologies continued its investment in the 1st semester of 2019, improving the use of the automated platform www.QuestonCloud.com, enforcing the Value-Added Services Portfolio to its customers and broadening its partnerships. The company achieved the tripling of sales, doubling software authorizations and increasing five times the use. At the same time, it developed new partnerships/distribution channels and enforced pre-sales & engineers support groups, aiming to significant further development during the period ahead. Info Quest Technologies is preparing appropriately and expects to play a leading role in the transition of the market to the new model of subscription services and distribution of digital content.
In the 1st Semester of 2019, Quest Online SA, through the electronic store www.you.gr, the strategic investment of the company in the sector of electronic commerce, continued its upwards course. The implementation of significant projects of automation was continued, while the range of offered products was significantly broadened. Today, more than 20,000 products, of more than 600 brands, in 500 different categories, are available in you.gr – including a lot of -friendly to the environment- products, which assist the consumers to adopt a more "green" – ecological way of life. As a result, www.you.gr achieved +20.3% increase of sales, significantly larger than the estimated percentage of increase of Electronic Commerce in Greece and significant improvement of all e-Commerce indicators - Conversion Rate + 17%, Bounce Rate -36% in comparison to the previous year – and satisfaction of customers, which reaches 98%. you.gr shall continue the systematic investigation of Products Portfolio, as well as investments in tools and automations. In the 2nd semester, the launching of the new redesigned site is planned, which is estimated that it shall significantly contribute to the upgrading of its operation and to the improvement of the purchasing experience of its customers.
In the IT market of Greece, there was a relevant stagnation in all categories in the 1st semester of 2019. Specifically, a small decline in Smartphones, decline in Tablets is observed, while the PC market is stable. According to our initial estimations, we think that 2019 will be one more difficult year in the IT market. We do not expect growth in the market in general.
In the market of Cyprus, for the first semester of 2019, we also observe a negative image. 2019 began downwards in almost all categories, due to the intense incidents with Turkey. We hope that the market of Cyprus shall start recovering gradually due to the start of the summer season and we shall return to development. We estimate that 2019 will be a year of small increase of the market and we aim, as a company, to maintain our shares and sales.
The company, in the first semester of 2019, besides the stagnation of the market, had excellent results by the increase of sales by 23% and important growth in all categories, with the largest increases being recorded both in Mac and iPad, and in Apple Watches. In addition, the profitability of the company was significantly enforced, due to the increase of sales and our efforts to contain expenses. Furthermore, the profitability of the company was enforced by the reversal of extraordinary provisions for additional copyright fees with retrospective force, made in May 2018 and repealed in 2019, and, therefore, significantly enforced the results of the company. Therefore, a very positive first semester ended, and strong foundations have been established for a positive entire year.

(Amounts presented in thousand Euro except otherwise stated)
For the second semester of the year, the perspectives are positive for the company despite the subdued market in which it engages. New products are expected in the last quarter of the year, which, as in the previous years, will enforce significantly our sales and help in the positive closure of one more difficult year regarding the market. In addition, in the second semester, its investments with focus to further enhancement of points of sale, creation of new Apple Retail programs and continuous training of salesmen in Greece and Cyprus shall be continued.
In conclusion, 2019 is expected to be another positive year in the course of the company with important growth in sales and further increase of its market shares and strengthening of its position, both in Greece and in Cyprus.
(Apple Retail Stores- Apple Premium Reseller)
iStorm SA (www.istorm.gr) is active in the market since 2010 and has as its subject the development and operation of model stores exclusively for Apple products (Apple Premium Reseller - APR). iStorm stores provide the best experience of the ecosystem of Apple, as they offer all Apple products, a wide range of peripherals and accessories, top service and technical support, free seminars and personnel with specialized knowledge. Today, eight (8) iStorm stores are operating in total. In Greece 6 stores are operating, of which four (4) in Athens and two (2) in Thessaloniki. In Cyprus 2 stores are operating, one (1) in the center of Nicosia and one (1) at the harbor of Limassol.
2019 begun positively for the company despite the difficult market and low consumption. The first semester of 2019 closed with strong increase of sales by 13%, which is due to the strong demand of Apple products, as well as to the addition of the new store at the harbor of Limassol, which opened in October 2018. iStorm shows increase in all product categories, both in Greece and in Cyprus, during the first semester of the year. Moreover, the full renovation and upgrading of 4 stores (Kolonaki, Golden Hall, Tsimiski & Cosmos) to the new Apple Premium Reseller Stores model of Apple has played an important role in the increase of sales.
The perspectives of the company for the second semester are positive. We expect the demand for Apple products and services to continue, both in Greece and in Cyprus. The company enforces demand by improved offers, new services and full range, both in Apple solutions and in accessories and products of third manufactures which complement the experience of the consumer.
In conclusion, in 2019, iStorm SA aims to maintain the potential of the first semester and anticipates the increase of its sales and shares in the market, as well as the qualitative upgrading of its network.
(Integrated Solutions and IT and Telecommunications Services)
Unisystems, in the 1st semester of 2019, showed a significant increase of its turnover in comparison to the relevant semester of 2018 (from €44 million to €55 million or increase by 27%). Revenue from activities abroad were increased by 26% and from €17.6 million in the 1st semester of 2018 amounted to €22.3 million in the relevant semester of 2019, while they constitute 40% of the total revenue and 47% of the revenue from services. Correspondingly, there was an increase in the sales in the domestic market and from €26 million in the 1st semester of 2018; they amounted to €33 million in the relevant period of 2019, that is, an increase by 27%. It is noted that such increase in growth in the domestic market has not been seen for many years.
The operating profitability of the company was also significantly increased, mainly due to the improvement of failures in specific large projects in Greece and Abroad. As in the previous years, the management of the company focused on the development of the company and the increase of the personnel in the sector of services and software, the minimum, as far as possible, use of borrowed funds and the production of positive cash flow. The extension to the markets abroad was a main sector of focus of the company. Important perspectives are currently arising in the domestic IT market, both in the public and private sector.
The total of project bookings under contract amounts to €260+ million and constitutes an important factor of sustainability for the company for the next years.
The Management of the company continues its organizational changes at the level of Software Technical Management, horizontal solutions and Business Development. It has focused its attention to the improvement of software development, quality and complex projects management procedures. Emphasis has, also, been placed on the development of innovation and Research and Development (R&D).
For the rest financial year of 2019 and to the extent that there are also positive domestic growth policies by the new government, in addition to the increase of turnover in comparison to 2018, the improvement of profitability in comparison to the 1st semester, the continuance of the extension of sales abroad, the production of positive cash flow, as well as the increase of the total volume of project bookings are expected.

C. Electronic Transactions/payments sector
(provision of POS terminal network services)
The 1st semester of 2019 ended with Cardlink SA managing approximately 230,000 active terminals and consistently more than 35,000,000 transactions monthly. The 1st semester of 2019 was a stabilization period for Cardlink, where emphasis was placed on the development and promotion of new products.
The Sales of the company during the 1st semester declined in comparison to the previous year, affected by the volume rebates agreed in the Q4 2018 by €3 million, the maturation of the market, the limitation of equipment sales and the stabilization of the basis of active POSs of the company to 230 thousand POSs. The profits of the company declined in comparison to the previous year, EBITDA by €3.4 million and ΕΒΤ by 2.4 million, affected mainly by increased opex expenses for the development of new products and the increased maintenance expenses for the POSs.
For the 2nd semester of 2019, no significant demand for new terminals is expected and emphasis is placed on the more effective management of the POSs, focusing on the better service of existing and new businesses and containment of opex. At the same time, action is taken for the medium-term improvement of the operating costs, while the continuance of increase of penetration of transactions is expected. During the 2nd semester, it is estimated that there will be a gradual decrease of the decline rate of profits in comparison to 2018 and similar figures to those of the 1st Semester of 2019 (EBT margin at ~ 15%+ of the sales).
Finally, the company has started the implementation of the strategic plan for the development of new products and services and the new samples shall be available within 2020.
During the 1st semester (H1) of 2019, ACS had a good course, as its total revenue amounted to approximately € 52.6 million (higher by +5.8% in comparison to 2018). The revenue from courier services were increased by approximately 5.6%, coming mainly from electronic commerce, while the revenues from postal services were increased by approximately 7% in comparison to the relevant period of 2018, coming mainly from the attraction of new customers. Ebitda earnings of the company amounted to approximately € 8.1 million (higher by approximately 31% than 2018), while EBT amounted to € 6.8 million (higher by 25% than 2018).
At the same time, during the 1st semester of 2019, the study and authorization works for the new facilities of the company in Attica, in the area of Egaleo, have progressed, which are estimated to be ready at the end of 2020 – beginning of 2021.
For the entire 2019, ACS expects growth of its revenues in the Courier services, stability and slight increase in the Postal services and growth of the total revenues in comparison to 2018. The activity of courier services is estimated that it shall continue to be positively affected by the development of e-commerce, while the activity of postal services shall be negatively affected by the development of electronic communications. Therefore, for the entire 2019, ACS is estimated to have a mild increase of its total turnover and profitability in comparison to 2018.
E. Sector of Renewable Energy Sources and other Activities (Quest Holding)
(Wind and photovoltaic parks)
The company, during the 1st semester of 2019 had a significant increase – doubling of its figures, which is due to the investments and doubling of the installed capacity made at the end of 2018.
The strategy of the company provided for the gradual increase of the installed capacity of its active plants at 20ΜW, through the purchase of active photovoltaic plants, which has already been achieved in July 2019.

No other significant events have arisen after the financial information date.
The Group is exposed to financial risks, such as market risks (changes in exchange rates, interest rates, market prices), credit risks and liquidity risks. The Group's general risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of the financial markets and seeks to minimize its potential negative impact on the Group's financial performance.
Risk management is carried out by the Group's central financial department, which operates under specific rules approved by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors provides directives and guidance on general risk management as well as specific directives for managing specific risks, such as currency risk, interest rate risk and credit risk.
The Group has established and applies credit control procedures, aiming at the minimization of bad debt and immediate coverage of requirements with securities. Commercial risk across the Group is relatively low, since sales involve a large number of customers. Wholesales are mainly made to customers with an assessed credit history. The Credit Control Department of each Group company sets credit limits for each customer and applies certain conditions on sales and payments. Where possible, physical or other collateral is requested.
Liquidity risk is kept at a low level by having adequate cash and by using adequate credit limits with the collaborating banks.
The Group's capital management goal is to ensure its ability to continue its business and maintain an ideal capital structure in order to reduce capital costs. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may increase or decrease borrowing, issue or repurchase shares, adjust the amount of dividends to shareholders or return capital to shareholders.
The Group holds no significant interest-bearing items, so operating revenue and cash flows are substantially independent of changes in interest rates. Group loans have been issued with variable interest rates, which can be changed to fixed, or remain variable, depending on market conditions. Interest rate risk mainly stems from long term loans. Variable rate loans expose the Group to cash flow risks. Fixed rate loans expose the Group to the risk of fair value changes.
The Group operates in Europe and consequently the major part of the Group's transactions is carried out in Euros. Nevertheless, a part of the Group's purchases of goods is carried out in US Dollar. The prompt payment of these trade payables decreases significantly the exchange rate risk. The Group purchases foreign currency in advance as required and as a general rule avoids executing currency future contracts with external parties.
After the country's official exit from the economic adjustment program on August 20th, 2018, the macroeconomic and financial environment in Greece demonstrates signs of stabilization, but there is still uncertainty and the economy is still vulnerable to fluctuations of the external environment. Capital controls that had initially imposed on the country were abolished based on the article 86 of law 4624/29.8.2019.
The Management continuously assesses the likely impact of any changes in the macroeconomic and financial environment in Greece to ensure that all necessary actions and measures will be taken to minimize any impact on the Group's activities. The Management is not in a position to accurately predict possible developments in the Greek economy, but on the basis of its assessment, it has come to the conclusion that there is no need for significant additional provisions of impairment of the Group's financial and non-financial assets on June 30rd, 2019.
More specifically, the Group examined and is capable for:

Financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2019
(Amounts presented in thousand Euro except otherwise stated)
• The ability to repay or refinance the existing borrowings, as there is sufficient cash and the Group is not exposed to significant shortterm borrowing.
In addition to financial risks, the Group focuses on non-financial risks regarding certain issues that have been identified as substantial in the context of sustainable development. These issues relate to full compliance with legislation and the implementation of corporate governance policies, human resources, environmental impact of corporate activity, the supply chain and the growth of the companies within the market.
The effects of these topics are further analyzed in the Non-Financial Risks section of this report.
Companies face security risks regarding the security of their systems and infrastructure, which could affect the integrity and security of any information they manage, such as personal data of customers, associates or employees, and confidential corporate information.
The Company collects, stores and uses data in its normal course of business and protects them against based on the data protection legislation.
On April 27th, 2016, the European Parliament and the European Council adopted the Data Protection Regulation (EU) (2016/679) ("Data Protection Regulation"). The Data Protection Regulation includes extensive obligations for companies in relation to procedures and mechanisms for the processing of personal data and rights of data subjects, and in cases of breach, the Supervisory Authorities are allowed to impose fines of up to 4% of the Group's annual global turnover (or €20 million, whichever is greater). The Data Protection Regulation entered into force on May 25th, 2018 after a transitional period of two years.
In order to limit the risks involved, in 2018, the Group set up the Data Protection Directorate that develops all the necessary policies and procedures, oversees their implementation, designs new security systems and infrastructures and evaluates their effectiveness and compliance with the regulatory framework for the protection of personal data.
The fair value of financial assets traded in active markets (stock exchanges), such as derivatives, shares, bonds, and mutual funds, is determined by quoted market prices at the balance sheet date.
The fair value of financial assets not trading in active markets is determined using valuation techniques and assumptions based on market data at the balance sheet date.
The nominal value of trade receivables less the applicable provision is estimated to approximate their fair value. The fair values of financial liabilities for the purpose of their disclosure in the financial statements are calculated based on the present value of future cash flows arising from certain contracts using the current interest rate available to the Group for the use of similar financial instruments.

[Translation from the original text in Greek]
To the Board of directors 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 2019 and the related condensed company and consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flow statements 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, as they have been transposed into Greek Law 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 condensed interim financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34.

Our review has not revealed any material inconsistency or misstatement in the statements of the members of the Board of Directors and the information of the six‐month Board of Directors Report, as defined in articles 5 of Law 3556/2007, in relation to the accompanying condensed interim financial information.

2. Structure of the Group
The structure of the Quest Holdings group is presented as follows:

This interim financial information covers the six-month period ended June 30th, 2019 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, 2018.
The interim financial information must be considered in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31st, 2018, which are available on the Group's web site at the address www.quest.gr.

(Amounts presented in thousand Euro except otherwise stated)
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, 2019.
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:
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 1.1.2019. The Group's evaluation of the effect of these new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations is as follows:
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 effect of this standard on the Group on 31 January 2019 on right-of-use assets was euro 21.574 thousand, on lease receivables euro 2.578 thousand and on lease liabilities euro 24.307 thousand. There is no significant impact in earnings before tax.
The amendments allow companies to measure particular prepayable financial assets with so-called negative compensation at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income if a specified condition is met—instead of at fair value through profit or loss.
The amendments clarify that companies account for long-term interests in an associate or joint venture—to which the equity method is not applied—using IFRS 9.

(Amounts presented in thousand Euro except otherwise stated)
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 amendments specify how companies determine pension expenses when changes to a defined benefit pension plan occur.
The amendments set out below include changes to four IFRSs.
The amendments clarify that a company remeasures its previously held interest in a joint operation when it obtains control of the business.
The amendments clarify that a company does not remeasure its previously held interest in a joint operation when it obtains joint control of the business.
The amendments clarify that a company accounts for all income tax consequences of dividend payments in the same way.
The amendments clarify that a company treats as part of general borrowings any borrowing originally made to develop an asset when the asset is ready for its intended use or sale.
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.
The amended definition emphasises that the output of a business is to provide goods and services to customers, whereas the previous definition focused on returns in the form of dividends, lower costs or other economic benefits to investors and others. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU.
The amendments clarify the definition of material and how it should be applied by including in the definition guidance which until now was featured elsewhere in IFRS. In addition, the explanations accompanying the definition have been improved. Finally, the amendments ensure that the definition of material is consistent across all IFRS. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU.

IFRS 16 provides a comprehensive model for the identification of lease arrangements and their treatment in the financial statements of both lessees and lessors. The new lease standard applies a control model to the identification of leases, distinguishing between leases and service contracts on the basis of whether the use of an identified asset is controlled by the customer. It supersedes the following Standards and Interpretations:
IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease; SIC-15 Operating Leases—Incentives; and SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease.
IFRS 16 introduces significant changes to lessee accounting in the sense that it removes the distinction between operating and finance leases under IAS 17 and requires a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at lease commencement for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low value assets. In contrast to lessee accounting, the IFRS 16 lessor accounting requirements remain largely unchanged from IAS 17, and continue to require a lessor to classify a lease either as an operating lease or a finance lease. However, under IFRS 16, an intermediate lessor is required to classify the sublease as a finance or operating lease by reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease and not by reference to the underlying asset. In addition, IFRS 16 provides guidance on the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions. Extensive disclosures are also required by the new Standard.
The Group adopted IFRS 16 as of 1 January 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. All modifications made at the date of transition to IFRS 16 were recognized as adjustments in the opening balances of the respective captions of the Group's statement of financial position (Note 2.2.1) as of 1 January 2019 without restating the comparative figures.
Under the provisions of IAS 17, the Group classified each of its leases (as a lessee) at the inception date as either a finance lease or an operating lease. Upon adoption of IFRS 16, the Group applied a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Group has opted to recognize a lease expense on a straight-line basis for short-term leases and leases of low value assets. The Group has not made use of the practical expedient available on transition to IFRS 16 not to reassess whether a contract is or contains a lease. Accordingly, the definition of a lease and related guidance in IFRS 16 has been applied to all lease contracts that were effective as of 1 January 2019. The reassessment did not change significantly the scope of the contracts that meet the definition of a lease for the Group. In applying IFRS 16, the Group also elected to use the following practical expedients available by the standard at the date of initial application: (a) the exclusion of initial direct costs from the measurement of the right-of-use asset, (b) reliance on the assessment made before the date of initial application on whether leases are onerous by applying the provisions of IAS 37 and (c) the use of hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease. After excluding the short-term leases and leases of low-value assets, the Group recognized a right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities for all leases previously classified as operating. The right-of-use assets were
recognized based on the amount equal to the lease liabilities, adjusted for prepayments previously recognized. There were no onerous lease contracts that would have required an adjustment to the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application. Lease liabilities were recognized based on the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application.
The reconciliation schedule between the operating lease commitments disclosed in the Group's annual financial statements as of 31 December 2018 and the lease liabilities recognized in the statement of financial position as of 1 January 2019 is presented below:
| Group | Company | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Operating lease commitments | 27.380 | 771 | |
| Effect from discounting rate | ‐3.589 | ‐103 | |
| Adjustments as a result of different of extention or termination options | 516 | ‐6 | |
| Lease liabilities as of 1 January 2019 | 24.307 | 662 |
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.

(Amounts presented in thousand Euro except otherwise stated)
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.
After the country's official exit from the economic adjustment program on August 20th, 2018, the macroeconomic and financial environment in Greece demonstrates signs of stabilization, but there is still uncertainty and the economy is still vulnerable to fluctuations of the external environment. Capital controls that had initially imposed on the country were abolished based on the article 86 of law 4624/29.8.2019.
The Management continuously assesses the likely impact of any changes in the macroeconomic and financial environment in Greece to ensure that all necessary actions and measures will be taken to minimize any impact on the Group's activities. The Management is not in a position to accurately predict possible developments in the Greek economy, but on the basis of its assessment, it has come to the conclusion that there is no need for significant additional provisions of impairment of the Group's financial and non-financial assets on June 30rd, 2019.
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 shortterm borrowing.
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:

(Amounts presented in thousand Euro except otherwise stated)
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.
The leverage ratio of 2019 compared to 2018:
| GROUP | ||
|---|---|---|
| 30/06/2019 | 31/12/2018 | |
| Total borrowings (Note 16) | 60.813 | 37.441 |
| Less : Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash | (58.430) | (63.164) |
| Net Borrowings | 2.383 | (25.722) |
| Total equity | 150.872 | 140.173 |
| Total employed capital | 153.255 | 114.450 |
| Leverage ratio | 1,55% | -22,47% |
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.
In addition to financial risks, the Group focuses on non-financial risks regarding certain issues that have been identified as substantial in the context of sustainable development. These issues relate to full compliance with legislation and the implementation of corporate

(Amounts presented in thousand Euro except otherwise stated)
governance policies, human resources, environmental impact of corporate activity, the supply chain and the growth of the companies within the market.
The effects of these topics are further analyzed in the Non-Financial Risks section of this report.
Companies face security risks regarding the security of their systems and infrastructure, which could affect the integrity and security of any information they manage, such as personal data of customers, associates or employees, and confidential corporate information.
The Company collects, stores and uses data in its normal course of business and protects them against based on the data protection legislation.
On April 27th, 2016, the European Parliament and the European Council adopted the Data Protection Regulation (EU) (2016/679) ("Data Protection Regulation"). The Data Protection Regulation includes extensive obligations for companies in relation to procedures and mechanisms for the processing of personal data and rights of data subjects, and in cases of breach, the Supervisory Authorities are allowed to impose fines of up to 4% of the Group's annual global turnover (or €20 million, whichever is greater). The Data Protection Regulation entered into force on May 25th, 2018 after a transitional period of two years.
In order to limit the risks involved, in 2018, the Group set up the Data Protection Directorate that develops all the necessary policies and procedures, oversees their implementation, designs new security systems and infrastructures and evaluates their effectiveness and compliance with the regulatory framework for the protection of personal data.
The fair value of financial assets traded in active markets (stock exchanges), such as derivatives, shares, bonds, and mutual funds, is determined by quoted market prices at the balance sheet date.
The fair value of financial assets not trading in active markets is determined using valuation techniques and assumptions based on market data at the balance sheet date.
The nominal value of trade receivables less the applicable provision is estimated to approximate their fair value. The fair values of financial liabilities for the purpose of their disclosure in the financial statements are calculated based on the present value of future cash flows arising from certain contracts using the current interest rate available to the Group for the use of similar financial instruments.
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.
The segment results for the period ended 30rd of June 2019 and 30rd June 2018 are analysed as follows:

| At the beginning of the year | 31.649 | 27.225 | |
| Additions | 573 | 4.424 | |
| At the end | 32.221 | 31.649 |
The amount of € 32.221 thousand of goodwill contains € 4.932 thousand for the acquisition of «Rainbow S.A.», which has been absorbed in 2010 by the 100% subsidiary "iSquare SA", € 3.785 thousand from the acquisition of minority interests of the subsidiary "ACS SA", € 16.820 thousand value of the goodwill of the acquired company under trade name "Cardilink SA" and a total amount of €6,686 thousand of temporary and definitive goodwill on acquisitions of indirect subsidiaries and presented in the present financial report of the Group (Note 30 – Business combinations). The calculation of the above goodwill and the financial exposure of the Group is presented in the present Financial Reporting note under number 30 – "Business combinations".
The recoverable amount of a CGU is determined according to the value in use calculations. These calculations are pre-tax cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by the 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%, EBITDA margin: 2,33%, growth rate in perpetuity: 1,5%. Concerning the segment of courier services, the key assumptions are: discount rate: 9,9%, sales growth rate: 5%, EBITDA margin:12,8%, growth rate in perpetuity: 1,5%. Relating to the segment of financial services: discount rate: 9,9%, sales growth rate: 0%, EBITDA margin: 33%, growth rate in perpetuity: 1,5%.
Budgeted gross margin is based on last year's performance increased by the expected growth rate of return.
