The structure of the Quest Holdings group is presented as follows:
This interim financial information covers the nine-month period ended March 31st, 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.
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
(Amounts presented in thousand Euro except otherwise stated)
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 March 31st, 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.
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.
(Amounts presented in thousand Euro except otherwise stated)
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.
(Amounts presented in thousand Euro except otherwise stated)
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:
IAS 17 Leases;
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 |

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
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.
(Amounts presented in thousand Euro except otherwise stated)
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.
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:

In the previous year, during the annual assessment of the Management for the recovery of the intangible asset (trade name) of the subsidiary Unisystems SA, an impairment loss of €5,177 thousand arose. Following the above impairment, its undepreciated value as at December 31st, 2018 amounted to €314 thousand.
This relates to an intangible asset recognized at Group level of an initial amount of €15,600 thousand, which is amortized in over 30 years and relates to the Unisystems brand name that arose during the acquisition of the aforementioned subsidiary in 2007 and is covered by valuation with the method of Discounted Cash Flow (DCF). The key assumptions used by the Management to calculate future cash flows are as follows: interest rate has been used to calculate the present value: 9,9%, sales increase: 5%, EBITDA margin: 3% and growth rate in perpetuity:1%.
