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 six-month period ended September 30th, 2021 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, 2020.

The interim financial information must be considered in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31st, 2020, 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

for the period ended 30 September 2021

(Amounts presented in thousand Euro except otherwise stated)

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 September 30th, 2021.

3.2 New standards, amendments to standards and interpretations:

New standards, interpretations and amendments to existing standards and interpretations that were adopted by the Group and the Company

The amendments and interpretations that first applied in 2021 do not have a material effect on the Interim Condensed separate and consolidated Financial Statements for the period ended June 30, 2021. These are also included below

Standards and Interpretations effective for the current financial year

IFRS 16 (Amendment) "COVID-19 Related Rental Concessions" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 June 2020).

The amendment provides lessees (but not lessors) with relief in the form of an optional exemption from assessing whether a rent concession related to COVID-19 is a lease modification. Lessees can elect to account for rent concessions in the same way as they would for changes which are not considered lease modifications.

IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 (Amendments) "Reference rate adjustment - Phase 2" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021)

The amendments complement those issued in 2019 and focus on the impact on the Financial Statements when a company replaces the old interest rate benchmark with an alternative benchmark rate as a result of the reform . More specifically, the amendments relate to how a company will account for changes in the contractual cash flows of financial instruments, how it will account for changes in its hedging relationships and the information it needs to disclose.

Standards and Interpretations mandatory for later periods

IAS 37 (Amendment) 'Onerous Contracts – Cost of Fulfilling a Contract' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022)

The amendment clarifies that 'costs to fulfil a contract' comprise the incremental costs of fulfilling that contract and an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling contracts. The amendment also clarifies that, before a separate provision for an onerous contract is established, an entity recognises any impairment loss that has occurred on assets used in fulfilling the contract, rather than on assets dedicated to that contract. The amendment has not yet been endorsed by the EU.

Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018–2020 (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022) The amendments set out below include changes to four IFRSs. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU.

IFRS 9 'Financial instruments'

The amendment addresses which fees should be included in the 10% test for derecognition of financial liabilities. Costs or fees could be paid to either third parties or the lender. Under the amendment, costs or fees paid to third parties will not be included in the 10% test.

IFRS 16 'Leases'

The amendment removed the illustration of payments from the lessor relating to leasehold improvements in Illustrative Example 13 of the standard in order to remove any potential confusion about the treatment of lease incentives.

IAS 16 (Amendment) 'Property, Plant and Equipment – Proceeds before Intended Use' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022)

for the period ended 30 September 2021

(Amounts presented in thousand Euro except otherwise stated)

The amendment prohibits an entity from deducting from the cost of an item of PP&E any proceedsreceived from selling items produced while the entity is preparing the asset for its intended use. It also requires entities to separately disclose the amounts of proceeds and costs relating to such items produced that are not an output of the entity's ordinary activities. The amendment has not yet been endorsed by the EU.

IFRS 3 (Amendment) 'Reference to the Conceptual Framework' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022)

The amendment updated the standard to refer to the 2018 Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting, in order to determine what constitutes an asset or a liability in a business combination. In addition, an exception was added for some types of liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired in a business combination. Finally, it is clarified that the acquirer should not recognise contingent assets, as defined in IAS 37, at the acquisition date. The amendment has not yet been endorsed by the EU.

IAS 1 (Amendment) 'Classification of liabilities as current or non-current' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023)

The amendment clarifies that liabilities are classified as either current or non-current depending on the rights that exist at the end of the reporting period. Classification is unaffected by the expectations of the entity or events after the reporting date. The amendment also clarifies what IAS 1 means when it refers to the 'settlement' of a liability. The amendment has not yet been endorsed by the EU.

IAS 1 (Amendment) "Presentation of Financial Statements and IFRS Practice Statement 2: Disclosure of Accounting policies":

The Amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023 with earlier application permitted. The amendments provide guidance on the application of materiality judgements to accounting policy disclosures. In particular, the amendments to IAS 1 replace the requirement to disclose 'significant' accounting policies with a requirement to disclose 'material' accounting policies. Also, guidance and illustrative examples are added in the Practice Statement to assist in the application of the materiality concept when making judgements about accounting policy disclosures.

IAS 8 Accounting policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors: Definition of Accounting Estimates (Amendments):

The amendments become effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 with earlier application permitted and apply to changes in accounting policies and changes in accounting estimates that occur on or after the start of that period. The amendments introduce a new definition of accounting estimates, defined as monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty. Also, the amendments clarify what changes in accounting estimates are and how these differ from changes in accounting policies and corrections of errors.

4. Critical accounting estimates and judgments

Spread of the epidemic COVID-19

The coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19), which appeared and spread in Greece, had a negative impact on global economic activity, but did not adversely affect the Group's business activities. The rapid spread of COVID - 19 in the previous year but also in the closing period, on a global scale has led to disruption and shutdown of many companies. The Group will possibly face consequences in some of the markets in which the Group is active, due the imposition of quarantine measures, the phenomena of market falling and the changes in the behavior of customers, due to the fear of the pandemic, as well as the impact on the labor force of the Group, if the virus is widely spread. In addition, the customers, the distribution partners, the service providers or the suppliers of the Group may face economic difficulty, file application for bankruptcy, cease their operation or suffer disruption in their business activity due to the pandemic. At the moment, the extent of the hit in the results of the Group due to the pandemic is uncertain. However, given the dynamic nature of the epidemic, the extent to which COVID-19 shall affect the results of the Group shall depend on the future developments, which remain extremely uncertain and cannot be foreseen at the time. Continued spread of COVID-19 may cause economic slow-down or downturn, a fact that will adversely affect the demand for the products of the Group, or cause other unforeseen events, each of which may affect the business activity, operating results or financial situation of the Group. However, the ongoing vaccination programme against COVID19 at global level makes management's forecasts relatively optimistic.

Impact of the energy crisis

The global energy crisis that has impact in the global economy for a few months, has not had a serious impact on the financial figures and results of the Group due to the nature of the sectors in which it operates. However, it is estimated that in the coming months the operating costs of the facilities of the group companies will increase. To the extent that the energy crisis will not be very long or intense, it is expected that there will be no significant impact on the financial results of the Group.

(Amounts presented in thousand Euro except otherwise stated)

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.

(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.

6. Segment information

The Group is organised into five business segments:
