In addition, Quest group during the 6 months of 2023 proceeded with significant investments which, together with the net borrowing undertaken for them, amounted to approximately € 10,5 mil. out of which the majority concerns growth investments (Growth Capex & New Investments) related to the acquisition of subsidiary EPAFOS and to infrastructure facilities in the postal services segment.
Due to the significant growth of the Group's turnover, a significant working capital of more than € 35 mil. was required (as has been the case in recent years every year in the middle of the year), while dividends of approximately € 21 mil. were also distributed. This combination resulted in an increase in net borrowings, which at the end of the 6 months of 2023 amounted to € 13,3 mil. compared to € ‐28,7 mil. at the end of 2022. Last, net cash flows from operating activities amounted to approximately € ‐9,5 million.

Current estimates for the entire 2023 include a positive outlook for consolidated sales, EBITDA and EBT operating profits such figures compared to 2022. Investments of the Group are estimated to reach € 30 mil. with the biggest part of them relating to development investments.
Considering the economic conditions, as well as the prospects of Greece, the main goals of the Group Management for 2023, per branch of activity/subsidiary company are as follows:
For 2023, the main objective of the Company is to maintain a lean and efficient operating model with limited operating costs for the Group's consolidated figures, to re‐evaluate and improve the Group's structure, to maintain as far as possible the organic figures of its subsidiaries in order for them to achieve their goals, as well as to implement their strategic plans and finally to look for new investment opportunities in the same or new sectors with growth prospects and/or with higher profit margins.

Info Quest Technologies S.M.S.A. – FoQus M.A.E. – Team Cand M.A.E. (Distribution of Products and IT Solutions)
In the first half of 2023, Info Quest Technologies accomplished the goals it had set, operating in a challenging environment.

(Amounts presented in thousand Euro unless otherwise stated)
In H1 2023 there was a global decline in the sales of personal computers (‐33% in Q1 & ‐12% in Q2) and mobile phones (‐12% in Q1 & ‐11% in Q2). A decrease was also observed in the Greek market, subsequently affecting the sales of the company, which is active in both product categories. The geopolitical turmoil continued, while the increased inflation, mainly in basic consumer goods, and the prolonged election period, contributed to the shrinking of consumer spending. At the same time, supply chain problems were significantly mitigated. At the same time, there was a delay in the implementation of the large digital transformation projects with the utilization of the resources of the Recovery and Resilience Fund. However, forecasts from the international market and cooperating manufacturers, as well as the prospect of acceleration of the digital transformation of the state, organizations and businesses, with the faster absorption of available resources, create significant market recovery prospects in the coming years, for which the company is intensively preparing.
Particularly crucial in the said period for the company was the focus on the operational organization of its new subsidiary in Romania (Info Quest Technologies Romania) with the aim of distributing Xiaomi products in the country and expanding the activity of its subsidiary in Cyprus (Info Quest Technologies Cyprus), to support the distribution of partner companies' products, based on an extension of the relevant contracts. The company expects to have the first positive results from its new activity in both countries within 2023.
During the first half of 2023, the automations and the roll out of applications were completed in the new Logistics Center in Aspropyrgos, Attica, with the first results in terms of efficiency and productivity growth being very positive.
During the reporting period, the company continued its efforts to achieve sustainable development and ESG goals, in the context of the Group's strategy, while particular emphasis was placed on closer monitoring of the risks related to climate change that may affect its operation. At the same time, it initiated the procedures for obtaining ISO27001 for Information Security and continued its investment in the professional development and retention of its employees.
As a result of the above, during the first half of 2023, Info Quest Technologies presented:
The initiatives and actions of the company resulted in the award of important distinctions and certifications during the current period, such as that of 'Best Workplace', for the high quality of its working environment (ranked 4th among the 10 large Greek companies that were distinguished), that of 'Most Admired Company', in the context of the largest reputation survey that was conducted in Greece by Fortune magazine, that of 'Diamond certification', in the ESG Transparency Index of Forbes magazine with the support of EY, etc.
More specifically per operational segment:
In the field of Information Technology and Communication Products (Volume Business), sales presented a decrease by ‐ 4,4% compared to the previous year, as a result of the decrease in consumer spending and of the absence of device subsidy programs in a more strongly declining market, as mentioned above. The conditions/collaborations were created for the development of new product lines in areas related to the circular economy, energy management and smart home/smart city, in accordance with the company's 5‐year business plan.

(Amounts presented in thousand Euro unless otherwise stated)
The second half of 2023 is expected to be another period with non‐recurring market conditions, many challenges and considerable uncertainty. In this environment, Info Quest Technologies is working intensively to continue its development in all areas, to expand its market shares and to accomplish the commercial goals it has set for the company and its subsidiaries. Specifically:
From a commercial point of view, the following factors create positive prospects:
In conclusion, although there are multiple challenges and great uncertainty, the company's Management believe that the continuous monitoring of developments, the systematic preparation for inclusion in new areas and targeted investments, the gradual implementation of large‐scale projects and the acceleration of the transition to the new digital era, will lead the company to achieve its goals and to create added value for the entire Greek society.
The online store of the Quest Group, www.you.gr, is one of the largest and most reliable purely online stores, with 98% of its customers declaring that they are very satisfied with the store and its services.
(Amounts presented in thousand Euro unless otherwise stated)
In H1 2023, consumers continued to choose the hybrid model – physical presence and online – for their purchases, with e‐ commerce having established as a stable choice. The reduction in purchasing power due to the rising inflation, together with the shrinking of sales in basic IT equipment (PCs), which serves as an important pillar of You.gr development, acted as a hindrance to its development. At the same time, government programs, such as the replacement program for old energy‐consuming appliances, and the better positioning in the market of small and large household electrical appliances, contributed to the enhancement of sales in the respective categories. At the same time, continuous improvements in the shopping experience and customer service have strengthened customer loyalty and satisfaction.
As a result of the above, during the reporting period, you.gr incurred a turnover of euro 15,44 million, at the same levels as that of H1 2022, with a significant improvement in EBT (euro 147 thousand, + 16% vs LY), and in other key operational ratios. A significant increase was seen in the sales of Apple products and Smartphones in general, in household electrical appliances, while the products that participated in the state's replacement programs had a significant contribution to the reported turnover as well.
During the first half of the year significant improvements were made to the entire shopping experience offered by You.gr, aiming to the optimization of customer satisfaction. Some of them are indicatively as follows:
Quest Online will continue to proceed with investments in systems and infrastructure, offering multiple choices to consumers, in a safe, modern and easy online shopping environment.
Given the market conditions, the company expects to expand its market share in the product categories it invests in, improving its figures compared to the previous year. It will continue to participate in all subsidized programs related to its activities by recommending top products and services to its customers. Quest Onine will continue aiming to improve the shopping experience of each customer, investing in new innovative technologies, new ways of approaching consumers and new partnerships, expecting you.gr to establish itself in the preferences of consumers who choose online shopping.
During the 1st half of 2023, Clima Quest, exclusive distributor in Greece of Gree, the world's largest manufacturer of air conditioning systems, incurred a turnover of euro 5,1 million, increased by 31% compared to the corresponding period in 2022, and an EBT of euro 0,2 mil., +37% vs LY.
The company's sales were positively affected by the replacement program for old, energy‐consuming air conditioners, which was ongoing in the first half of 2023. The company further focused on the development of its network of partners, consisting both of specialized installers and large retailers serving the consumer market. Nationwide, the company's network includes more than 300 partners.
It is noted that GREE develops and manufactures air conditioning systems, heat pumps, water systems and dehumidifiers, offering complete and integrated solutions for domestic, commercial and industrial applications. At the heart of all Gree's business activities stands innovation and environmental sustainability, fact that is reflected in its commitment to provide the most efficient and sustainable solutions for cooling and heating. In the era of the climate and energy crisis that we are going

(Amounts presented in thousand Euro unless otherwise stated)
through, Gree's innovation and superiority in matters of performance, green design and low energy consumption are expected to boost sales and penetration in the Greek market.
Clima Quest will continue its development course, with the aim of further establishing itself in the market. For 2023, it is estimated that both the state programs to replace air conditioners in place, as well as the imperative need to further accelerate the replacement of energy‐intensive devices that use environmentally harmful refrigerant, will boost its sales and profitability.
Given the investment in know‐how, the technological superiority of the manufacturer, the wide range of products, the orientation towards the availability of more "green" solutions for both the retail and the professional market, the company is prepared to take advantage of all opportunities as well as the programs of the state contributing to a better quality and cleaner environment in our country.
(Distribution of air conditioning and other household electrical appliances)
G.E. Dimitriou, is the exclusive representative of Toyotomi air conditioners, which is the No. 1 brand of air conditioners in the country for many consecutive years, with a market share that, according to analyst data, in the first 5 months of 2023 was close to 18%.
The innovative features of the products, (such as the use of AI technology to adapt to the user's preferences), the environmentally friendly operation (refrigerant R32, low energy consumption, but also low noise level) and the advanced repair and maintenance and customer care services, have contributed to the systematic and ongoing successful presence of the company in the market.
During the first half of 2023 the company G.E. Dimitriou deployed its activity as an independent member of Quest Group and without the support (sub‐distribution) from Info Quest Technologies. Therefore, no comparative figures from the previous year are available. The turnover of the company amounted in H1 2023 to euro 25,8 million and the EBT to euro 1,1 million. The State's device replacement and recycling program, which was ongoing throughout the semester, brought about significant rearrangements in the air conditioning appliances market: sales increased significantly during a period of the year when sales are traditionally low (around 65‐70% of 250 thousand sets sold were given through the program) and the dynamics of retail sales channels increased significantly.
G.E. Dimitriou, with the appropriate commercial strategy, availability and positioning in the market, managed to take advantage of the opportunity and significantly increase its market share (17,9% share in the 5th month period of 2023 according to GFK, against 14,7% in the corresponding period last year).
G.E. Dimitriou will continue its development path, with the aim of providing the best possible services to the market, supporting the utilization of State programs and further expanding its market share. At the same time, in addition to the air conditioners market, it will pursue further development in the market of small household electrical appliances through the brand 'Singer' that it owns.
Today, with the climate crisis requiring immediate action from everyone, G.E. Dimitriou, is preparing to continue from a leadership position, to provide innovative cooling ‐ heating solutions that will contribute to limiting the environmental impact.
(Integrated IT systems to streamline the management and operations of educational organizations)
Important prospects and synergies in the field of activities of Info Quest Technologies have resulted from the 100% acquisition of the company EPAFOS by the parent company Quest Holdings. The company "EPAFOS" offers for more than 30 years a series of
(Amounts presented in thousand Euro unless otherwise stated)
integrated products that cover all the needs of educational institutions from the management of their operations to the education of students. It holds a leading position in the market with a significant share and 3,000 active customers in the field of education, covering a very wide range of providing IT solutions and services.
The first half of 2023 began with significant challenges and difficulties especially for the IT industry. In 2023, the "Digital Care" program was terminated, resulting in a large drop in PC and tablet sales during the first half. At the same time, the two phases of the national elections process, in May and June, significantly affected the consumer market.
Despite the adverse conditions, the company managed to achieve remarkable growth in the first half of 2023 with sales exceeding euro 180 million for the first time representing an increase of 25% yoy. Except for iPad sales, all other product categories presented strong growth, resulting in significant share increase across all categories in which the company operates.
The execution of the investment plan continued with upgrade of multiple points of sale and stronger presence in the large retail chains, that led, in addition to strong sales growth, to the establishment of the company as the best choice of technology in the mind of the consumer.
From July 1, 2023, the new distribution model was put into force, which, as already communicated by the management of the company, basically concerns the deployment of the Apple branch in Greece as a Sales & Marketing office. The new model is expected to lead to the reduction of the profit margins of iSquare from the Apple products business, which otherwise continues as is.
In conclusion, the first half of 2023 was very promising with a 25% increase in sales and a 13% increase in profitability.
In the second half of 2023, the technology sector is not expected to recover, and so product and industry challenges will continue until the end of the year. Overall, harsh market conditions are expected with a recession in the IT industry.
The company is moderately optimistic for the second half of 2023. It estimates that it will be another productive year with sales growth in the main product categories. It is estimated that the second half of the year will not continue with the same intense growth rates of the first half, but with significantly lower ones.
Nevertheless, management aim for another year of growth for the company. In general, improvement is expected in terms of inflation with a de‐escalation of prices both in energy and in other basic consumer goods.
At the same time, the company will carry on with its investment plan focusing on the upgrade of the points of sale in the retail stores and the targeted training of the salesforce aiming at the overall upgrade of the Apple experience for consumers.
In Cyprus, the company will continue with the expansion and upgrading of its network through cooperation with authorized resellers, aiming at strengthening its presence and boosting its sales in the Cypriot market. Finally, a further boost in turnover is expected upon launch of the new innovative products of Apple during the second half of the year, as usual.
In conclusion, regarding ISquare and the Apple ecosystem in Greece and Cyprus in general, it is expected that in 2023, the company will have a fruitful year with further sales growth, as well as empowerment against the competition, increasing market shares but squeezing profit margins resulting both from the competition and the new distribution model.
(Apple Retail Stores ‐ Apple Premium Reseller)
The first half of 2023 began with significant challenges and difficulties especially for the IT industry.

Nevertheless, iStorm demonstrated resilience, and managed to grow in all categories during the first half of 2023. The contribution of the new stores, that opened during the second half of 2022, and fully operated during the first half of 2023, was particularly significant.
The company managed to achieve a significant sales growth of 31% yoy with double digit growth in all categories. In the first half of the year, iStorm exceeded euro 39.5 million in sales, managed to control its expenses and achieved a satisfactory profitability. At the same time, it increased its market share in all categories.
During the second half of 2023, the challenges and difficulties, both globally and on a country level, are expected to continue. The technology sector is not expected to recover in the second half and so adverse market conditions with a downturn in the IT sector are anticipated.
Nevertheless, the company is moderately optimistic for the second half of 2023 and management estimate that it will be another productive year with further growth overall.
The company expects that during the second half of the year, there will be an improvement on an economic and consumption level, due to the stable political environment in our country and the positive course of tourism, which is expected to contribute significantly to the development and boost of the market in general.
During the second half, the company aims to further expand its network of stores with the inauguration of two new stores in Greece, as well as to upgrade one out of its two stores located in Thessaloniki, in order to achieve better coverage of new geographical areas and to further strengthen the iStorm network and brand in Greece and Cyprus.
At the same time, iStorm intends to continue investing in its online store as well as in new services that it plans to launch in the coming months, which will further improve the customer experience. The significant investment of the company's central CRM is already in pilot operation, something that will significantly contribute businesswise and will improve customer service and tracking. Finally, it will further upgrade consumer loans monitoring, trade‐in and same‐day product delivery services, in order to provide an even better experience to customers during the second half of 2023.
In conclusion for 2023, with the addition of new points of sale and the upgrade of existing hub stores, it is anticipated that the company will have another productive year with a further improvement of its financial figures both in terms of sales, as well as strengthening against the competition, increase in market shares and in profitability.

Significant prospects also appear in the domestic IT market in both the private and public sectors. Of particular importance are the foreseen funds from the Recovery Fund and the new Partnership Agreement for the Development Framework (ESPA). The
(Amounts presented in thousand Euro unless otherwise stated)
company has already contracted important public projects of the Recovery Fund and participates with an increased probability of award in large IT projects of the Public Sector. These projects will start generating revenue and profitability in the near future.

C. Postal Services Segment ACS (Postal Services)
The company during the first 6 months of 2023 had an overall positive course regarding its revenues and profitability. In particular courier revenues presented an increase by 9,4% driven basically from an increase in volumes by 11,9%. Revenue from postal services incurred a slight decrease by 2,6% compared to the previous year due to enhancement of the customer base, while the revenue from postal services now represents only 4% of the total turnover of the company. The operating EBITDA profits of the company amounted to € 12 million in H1 2023 (increased by 11,3% compared to 2022) while the EBT amounted to € 9,8 million (increased by 7,3% compared to 2022). The market share of the company in the sector of courier services was significantly enhanced.

(Amounts presented in thousand Euro unless otherwise stated)
The Company participates in the acquisition process of "Kotsovolos", which at this stage is in the phase of submitting indicative and non‐binding offers, having respectively submitted its own indicative and non‐binding offer. This process is in progress, so it is not certain that this process will lead to a definitive agreement with the Company.
The Company proceeded during the period from the end of the reporting period and till the date the financial statements were ratified by the Board of Directors, with the purchase of 34.950 own shares at an average price of 6,24 euro and with a total transaction value of euro 218.227 thousand. Following this, the Company holds 930.422 own shares or 0,8677% of the total outstanding shares.
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 are dispersed among 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 defined by the Group or Company, as the risk of inability to meet financial obligations when required. For the purposes of monitoring and management of liquidity risk, the companies of the Group prepare forecasts for future cash flows on a regular basis. Liquidity risk is kept at low levels by maintaining adequate cash and cash equivalents and credit lines, in order to ensure satisfaction of financial obligations expiring during the next 12 months.
Market risk is defined as the risk that market prices fluctuations, i.e. fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, interest rates and share prices, will cause fluctuations in the value of the Group's and the Company's financial assets. The effective management of market risk is essentially the ability to manage and maintain the exposure for the Group and the Company at an acceptable level.
The components of market risk, as well as the specific risk management strategies employed by the Group and the Company, are outlined below:
As neither the Group nor the Company have material interest‐bearing assets, except for some limited time deposits, the income of the Group and the Company are not significantly impacted by changes in interest rates. The exposure to interest rate risk for
(Amounts presented in thousand Euro unless otherwise stated)
borrowings relates to the risk that the net cash flows from borrowings decrease as a result of changes in interest rates. Management constantly assesses the interest rate trends in conjunction with borrowing needs.
The Group operates in Europe and consequently the biggest part of the Group's transactions is conducted in Euro. However, part of inventory purchases is done in US Dollar and Romanian LEU. Early repayment of suppliers' balances in foreign currency significantly reduces exposure to foreign exchange risk. The Group also pre‐purchases foreign currency on an ad‐hoc basis and does not conclude foreign exchange future contacts.
The objective of the Company when managing capital is to safeguard the ability of the Group to continue operating in providing returns for shareholders and for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure in order to reduce the cost of capital.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets in order to decrease debt.
Following market practices, the Company monitors its capital structure by using the leverage ratio. The leverage ratio is calculated as total debt (long and short‐term borrowings and lease liabilities) less cash and cash equivalents, divided by total equity plus total debt.
In addition to the financial risks, the Group also focuses on non‐financial risks related to specific issues, some of which have been identified as critical in the context of sustainable development. These issues concern the full compliance with the legislation and the implementation of corporate governance policies, human resources, the environmental impact of the companies' activity, the supply chain and the evolution of the companies in the market in which they operate.
Companies face risks regarding the security of their systems and infrastructure, which could affect the integrity and security of any form of information they manage, such as personal data of customers, associates or employees, and confidential corporate information.
The Company collects, stores and uses data in the normal course of its operations and protects them in accordance with the data protection legislation.
On 27 April 2016, the European Parliament and the European Council adopted the Data Protection Regulation (EU) (2016/679) ("Data Protection Regulation"). The Data Protection Regulation contains extensive obligations for companies in relation to procedures and mechanisms for processing personal data and rights of data subjects and in cases of violation allows the supervisory authorities to impose fines of up to 4% of the annual global turnover of the Group (or Euro 20 million whichever is greater). The Data Protection Regulation entered into force on 25 May 2018 after a transitional period of two years.
In order to reduce the relevant risks, the Group in 2018 has established the Data Protection Division that develops all necessary policies and procedures, oversees their implementation, designs new systems and security infrastructure 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.


(Amounts presented in thousand Euro unless otherwise stated)
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.
Realizing the responsibility of its companies around environmental issues, the Group has adapted its business practices to the needs of environmental protection and the saving of natural resources. This has led to the adoption of an ESG strategy for the environment which, in the long run, is expected to provide cost savings for the Group's companies (reduction of energy consumption, focus on the circular economy model, replacement of the leased vehicles fleet with environmentally friendly ones upon expiration of existing lease contracts etc.). Based on the nature of the group activities, no significant exposure to environmental risks has been assessed. It should also be noted that the increasing awareness on the protection of the environment has boosted the demand for the products of some of the Group's IT companies, in the context of their customers' efforts to reduce their own environmental footprint (enhancement of the digitalization process, automation solutions, cloud distribution etc.), a trend which is expected to strengthen further in the future. Regarding the financial and the non‐financial assets of the Group, Management has assessed that no material exposure to climate‐related risks exists and has therefore concluded, that no adjustments to the carrying amounts of the assets or to the judgments/assumptions made in the context of IFRS is required as of 30 June 2023, as a direct consequence of climate‐related risks.

The 6‐month financial report includes the interim condensed financial statements of Quest Holdings S.A. (the "Company") and the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (the "Group") for the period ended June 30rd, 2023, according to International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), as adopted by the European Union.
The main activities of the Group are commercial activities, the design, deployment and support of information systems and technology solutions, courier and postal services and the production of electric power from renewable sources.
The Group operates in Greece, Romania, Cyprus, Luxembourg, Belgium, Spain and Italy and the Company's shares are traded in Athens Stock Exchange.
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors of Quest Holdings S.A. on September 6th, 2023.
The shareholders' composition of the Company as of 30 June 2023 was as follows:
| Total 100% | ||
|---|---|---|
| | Treasury shares 0,84% | |
| | Other investors 23,89% | |
| | Eftichia Koutsoureli 25,25% | |

On May 29th, 2023, Mr. Theodoros Fessas, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, transferred as contribution in kind, 53.634.195 shares and voting rights, corresponding to a percentage of 50,021% of the share capital of Quest Holdings S.A., in the company TEDINVEST Ltd of which he is a 100% shareholder.
The premises of the Company are in Greece, Attica, Municipality of Kallithea, on 2A Argyroupoleos str., and the General Registry Number is 121763701000 (former S.A. Register Number 5419/06/Β/86/02).
The Board of Directors of the Company is as follows:
The Audit Company is: KPMG Certified Auditors SA 44 Syngrou Avenue 117 42 Athens Greece
(Amounts presented in thousand Euro unless otherwise stated)
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the interim condensed financial statements of Quest Holdings S.A. and subsidiary companies, over which the Company directly or indirectly exercises control. The subsidiaries are presented in Notes 11 and 23.
The Group has classified its subsidiaries and the rest participations according to the business sector in which they operate. The structure of the Group as of 30 June 2023 is as follows:

(Amounts presented in thousand Euro unless otherwise stated)
This interim condensed financial information covers the six‐month period ended on June 30th, 2023 and has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34 "Interim Financial Reporting", as adopted by the European Union.
The accounting policies used in the preparation and presentation of this interim condensed 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, 2022.
The interim condensed financial information does not include all the information and notes required for the Annual Financial Statements and for this reason, they must be considered in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31st, 2022, 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 remeasurement of the financial assets and liabilities measured 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 (Note 5). It also requires 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 may eventually deviate from these estimates.
Differences between amounts presented in the financial statements and corresponding amounts in the notes are due to rounding.
The Group and the Company cover their needs for working capital through the cash flows generated, including bank borrowing.
Current economic conditions impact (a) the demand for the products of the Group and the Company and (b) their ability to borrow funds from banks for the foreseeable future.
Positive future perspectives, taking into account possible fluctuations on the performance of the Group and the Company, create a reasonable expectation that both the Company and the Group have the ability to continue their operations as going concerns in the foreseeable future.
Therefore, the Group and the Company continue to adopt the "going concern" principle for the preparation of the interim condensed separate and consolidated financial statements for the period from January 1st, to June 30th, 2023, considering the particularly positive performance accomplished during the first half of 2023.
Since 1 January 2023, the Group has implemented all the amendments in IFRS as adopted by the European Union ('EU') and that are relevant with its operations. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Financial Statements of the Group.
The following new Standards, Interpretations and amendments to Standards have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), have been adopted by the European Union and their application is mandatory from 01/01/2023 onwards.
(Amounts presented in thousand Euro unless otherwise stated)
In May 2017, the IASB issued a new standard, IFRS 17, which replaces an interim standard, IFRS 4. The purpose of the IASB project was to develop a single principle‐based standard for the accounting treatment of all types of insurance contracts, including reinsurance contracts, held by an entity. A single principles‐based standard will enhance the comparability of financial reporting between entities, jurisdictions and capital markets. IFRS 17 sets out the requirements that an entity should apply to the financial information related to insurance contracts that it issues and reinsurance contracts that it holds.
In February 2021, the IASB issued amendments concerning disclosure of accounting policies. The purpose of the amendments is to improve disclosures of accounting policies to provide more useful information to investors and other users of financial statements. More specifically, these amendments require the disclosure of information regarding accounting policies when they are material and provide guidance on the concept of materiality when it is applied to disclosures of accounting policies.
In February 2021, the IASB issued amendments that clarify how an entity can distinguish between a change in accounting estimate and a change in accounting policy.
In May 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 12 to specify how entities should treat deferred tax arising from transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations ‐ transactions for which entities recognize both an asset and a liability. In certain circumstances, entities are exempt from recognizing deferred tax when they recognize assets or liabilities for the first time. The amendments clarify that this exemption does not apply and entities are required to recognize deferred tax on these transactions.
The amendment is a transition option relating to comparative information about financial assets presented on initial application of IFRS 17. The amendment is aimed at helping entities to avoid temporary accounting mismatches between financial assets and insurance contract liabilities, and therefore improve the usefulness of comparative information for users of financial statements.
The following new Standards, Interpretations and Amendments to Standards have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB') but are either not yet effective or have not yet been adopted by the European Union. The ones relevant to the operations of the Group are stated below. The Group does not intend to adopt the below new Standards, Interpretations and Amendments to Standards before their effective date.
In January 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 that affect the presentation requirements for liabilities. Specifically, the amendments clarify one of the criteria for classifying a liability as non‐current, the requirement for an entity to have the right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. The amendments include, among others, clarification that an entity's right to defer settlement should exist at the reporting date and clarification that the classification of the liability is not affected by management's intentions or expectations regarding the exercise of the right to defer settlement. In addition, in July 2020, the IASB issued an amendment to clarify the classification of debt liabilities with financial covenants, which provides for a one‐year deferral of the effective date of the originally issued amendment to IAS 1.
The adoption of the above is not expected to have a significant impact on the Financial Statements of the Group.
The amendment clarifies how an entity accounts for variable lease payments when acting as a seller‐lessee in sale and leaseback transactions. The entity applies the Standard requirements retrospectively on sale and leaseback transactions occurred on or after the date of first‐time application of IFRS 16. The amendment has not yet been adopted by the European Union. The adoption of the above is not expected to have a significant impact on the Financial Statements of the Group.

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange, 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 financial performance of the Group and the Company.
Risk management is carried out centrally by the Finance Department 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.
Credit risk consists of the probability that a third party causes financial damage to the Group and the Company by failing to fulfill their contractual obligations. The book value of the financial assets of the Group and the Company at the reporting date reflects the maximum credit risk the Group and the Company are exposed to on that date.
The Group and the Company implement a specific credit policy that focuses on the evaluation of the creditworthiness of customers on the one hand, and on the effective management of trade receivables before they reach their due date on the other hand, covering cases of overdue or doubtful receivables as well. Indicative practices in this respect concern the use of credit insurance where possible, the prepayment of orders from customers and potentially the use of guarantees/collaterals.
For the purposes of credit risk monitoring, customers are grouped under criteria such as customer category, credit risk characteristics, age of receivable balances and any collectability issues that may have arisen in the past. In the context of IFRS 9, the Group applies the simplified approach for the impairment of trade receivables and assesses expected credit losses throughout the lifetime of receivables.
In the context of determining the risk of default during the initial recognition of trade receivables, the Group defines default based on the following general criteria:
‐ 90 days or more since the receivable became overdue and
‐ the debtor is unable to fully repay his credit obligations to the Group without the Group's recourse to actions such as the liquidation of guarantees (if any)
With reference to the 90‐day period limit, this may vary, as considered appropriate depending on the individual characteristics of the customers and/or of each Group company.
With reference to the write‐off policy implemented by the Group, a financial asset is written off when there are no reasonable prospects of recovering it either in whole or part of. The Group conducts a relevant assessment on a customer level regarding the amount and timing of the write‐off assessing whether there is a reasonable expectation of recovery of the relevant receivable amount.
The following ratios may be also used for the evaluation of the risk of default and/or write‐off of customers' balances:
Regarding financial assets that have been written off, the Group has no reasonable prospects of recovering them, however these could potentially be subject to enforcement proceedings initiated by the Group as part of the efforts for the collection of overdue balances.
On each balance sheet date, the Group conducts an impairment test on trade receivables setting up a provision matrix whereby the expected credit losses are calculated by customer category and based on historical data adjusted, when necessary, for future
(Amounts presented in thousand Euro unless otherwise stated)
financial prospects relevant to the customers and the economic environment in general. The cash and cash equivalents of the Group and the Company are mainly invested in customers with a high credit rating and for a limited period.
There are no material overdue and non‐impaired balances of trade receivables for the Group or the Company on the 30th June 2023.
Liquidity risk is defined by the Group or Company, as the risk of inability to meet financial obligations when required. For the purposes of monitoring and management of liquidity risk, the companies of the Group prepare forecasts for future cash flows on a regular basis. Liquidity risk is kept at low levels by maintaining adequate cash and cash equivalents and credit lines, in order to ensure satisfaction of financial obligations expiring during the next 12 months.
Market risk is defined as the risk that market prices fluctuations, i.e. fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, interest rates and share prices, will cause fluctuations in the value of the Group's and the Company's financial assets. The effective management of market risk is essentially the ability to manage and maintain the exposure for the Group and the Company at an acceptable level.
The components of market risk, as well as the specific risk management strategies employed by the Group and the Company, are outlined below:
As neither the Group nor the Company have material interest‐bearing assets, except for some limited time deposits, the income of the Group and the Company are not significantly impacted by changes in interest rates. The exposure to interest rate risk for borrowings relates to the risk that the net cash flows from borrowings decrease as a result of changes in interest rates. Management constantly assesses the interest rate trends in conjunction with borrowing needs.
The Group operates in Europe and consequently the biggest part of the Group's transactions is conducted in Euro. However, part of inventory purchases is done in US Dollar. Early repayment of suppliers' balances in foreign currency significantly reduces exposure to foreign exchange risk. The Group also pre‐purchases foreign currency on an ad‐hoc basis and does not conclude foreign exchange future contacts.
The objective of the Company when managing capital is to safeguard the ability of the Group to continue operating in providing returns for shareholders and for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure in order to reduce the cost of capital.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets in order to decrease debt.
Following market practices, the Company monitors its capital structure by using the leverage ratio. The leverage ratio is calculated as total debt (long and short‐term borrowings and lease liabilities) less cash and cash equivalents, divided by total equity plus total debt.

| GROUP | COMPANY | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30/06/2023 | 31/12/2022 | 30/06/2023 | 31/12/2022 | ||

The leverage ratio of the Group on 30 June 2023 and 31 December 2022 are presented below:
In addition to the financial risks, the Group also focuses on non‐financial risks related to specific issues, some of which have been identified as critical in the context of sustainable development. These issues concern the full compliance with the legislation and the implementation of corporate governance policies, human resources, the environmental impact of the companies' activity, the supply chain and the evolution of the companies in the market in which they operate.
Companies face risks regarding the security of their systems and infrastructure, which could affect the integrity and security of any form of information they manage, such as personal data of customers, associates or employees, and confidential corporate information.
The Company collects, stores and uses data in the normal course of its operations and protects them in accordance with the data protection legislation.
On 27 April 2016, the European Parliament and the European Council adopted the Data Protection Regulation (EU) (2016/679) ("Data Protection Regulation"). The Data Protection Regulation contains extensive obligations for companies in relation to procedures and mechanisms for processing personal data and rights of data subjects and in cases of violation allows the supervisory authorities to impose fines of up to 4% of the annual global turnover of the Group (or Euro 20 million whichever is greater). The Data Protection Regulation entered into force on 25 May 2018 after a transitional period of two years.
In order to reduce the relevant risks, the Group in 2018 has established the Data Protection Division that develops all necessary policies and procedures, oversees their implementation, designs new systems and security infrastructure and evaluates their effectiveness and compliance with the regulatory framework for the protection of personal data.
Realizing the responsibility of its companies around environmental issues, the Group has adapted its business practices to the needs of environmental protection and the saving of natural resources. This has led to the adoption of an ESG strategy for the environment which, in the long run, is expected to provide cost savings for the Group's companies (reduction of energy consumption, focus on the circular economy model, replacement of the leased vehicles fleet with environmentally friendly ones upon expiration of existing lease contracts etc.). Based on the nature of the group activities, no significant exposure to environmental risks has been assessed. It should also be noted that the increasing awareness on the protection of the environment has boosted the demand for the products of some of the Group's IT companies, in the context of their customers' efforts to reduce their own environmental footprint (enhancement of the digitalization process, automation solutions, cloud distribution etc.), a trend which is expected to strengthen further in the future. Regarding the financial and the non‐financial assets of the Group, Management has assessed that no material exposure to climate‐related risks exists and has therefore concluded, that no adjustments to the carrying amounts of the assets or to the judgments/assumptions made in the context of IFRS is required as of 30 June 2023, as a direct consequence of climate‐related risks.
(Amounts presented in thousand Euro unless otherwise stated)
The Group and the Company make estimates and judgements about the future. The estimates and judgements that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next 12 months concern:
The impairment test on goodwill is performed annually. The recoverable amount of each cash generating unit, over which goodwill has been allocated, has been determined based on value in use calculations. These calculations require the use of estimates (refer to Note 8).
The Group and the Company follow the simplified approach of IFRS 9 for the estimation of the expected credit losses on trade receivables, based on which the impairment allowance is based on the lifetime expected credit losses on trade receivables. The assessment of expected credit losses is based on past experience adjusted by expectations around the future financial ability of customers and the future conditions prevalent in the economic environment. These estimates are highly subjective and entail the exercise of judgement by management.
The Company assesses on each reporting date whether there are any indicators for impairment / reversal of impairment of investments in subsidiaries. When impairment indicators exist, the Company performs an impairment review in accordance with the accounting standards requirements. The determination of the recoverable amount of each subsidiary is based on the estimation of the future cash flows which depend on several assumptions regarding, among others, the sales future growth rate, future costs and an appropriate discount rate (refer to Note 11).
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 the benefits. Changes in these assumptions will change the present value of the obligations presented on the statement of financial position.
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.
Other significant assumptions used are partially dependent on current market conditions.
Revenue from contracts with customers, for which a specific transaction price has been predetermined with the customer (fixed price) and which must be performed within a specific time frame, is recognized over time as the Group transfers control of the goods or services. The Group measures progress towards satisfaction of performance obligations for each contract using the input method. In the input method, the revenue recognized in any given accounting period is based on estimates of the total estimated contract costs. Estimates are continually reassessed and revised as necessary throughout the life of the contract. Any adjustments to revenues and earnings resulting from changes in the underlying estimates are accounted for in the period when the change in the estimate incurred. When estimates indicate that a loss will arise from a contract upon completion, a provision for the expected loss is recognized in the period when such evidence arises. Management assesses the progress of long‐term projects, that exceed one year in duration, against the budget. When the outcome of a contract can be estimated reliably, contract revenue and expenses are recognized over the contract term as revenue and expense, respectively. The Group uses the percentage‐of‐completion method to determine the appropriate amount of income and expense to recognize in a particular period. The stage of completion is measured based on the costs incurred up to the reporting date in relation to the total estimated costs for each contract.

(Amounts presented in thousand Euro unless otherwise stated)
For determining the cost incurred by the end of the year, any costs related to future work to fulfill the contract are excluded and shown as work in progress. The total cost incurred and the profit / loss recognized for each contract is compared with the progressive billings until the end of the year.
The Group and the Company examine on each reporting date whether events have occurred that could cause a loss for the Group or the Company and proceeds with an assessment and accounting for a provision. To assess the amount to be provided, all available information on future development of income and expenses is taken into account.
Provisions are discounted to present value when the effect of the time value of money is assessed as material, using a pre‐tax discount rate that reflects current market conditions.
The provision for income taxes in accordance with IAS 12 "Income taxes", are the amounts expected to be paid to the taxation authorities and includes provision for current income taxes reported and the potential additional tax that may be imposed as a result of audits by the taxation authorities. Group entities are subject to income taxes in various jurisdictions and significant management judgment is required in determining provision for income taxes. Actual income taxes could vary from these estimates due to future changes in income tax law, significant changes in the jurisdictions in which the Group and the Company operate, or unpredicted results from the final determination of each year's liability by tax authorities. These changes could have a significant impact on the Group's and the Company's financial position. Where the actual additional taxes payable are different from the amounts that were initially recorded, these differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such a determination is made. Further details are provided in Note 19.
On 15 June 2023 the Annual General Meeting of the shareholders of the Company approved a program for share‐based payments for the executive members of the Board of Directors of the Company and its subsidiaries. Specifically, certain executives from various group companies are granted the option to receive equity instruments (shares) of the Company provided that specific vesting conditions have been met. There is no option for the equity‐based payment agreement plans to be settled in cash. Also, in accordance with the terms of the plan, intragroup charges may be imposed by the Company to other group entities for executives that belong to the payroll of other group entities.
Services received in return for equity‐based payments are measured at fair value. The fair value of the services of the executives, at the date when the shares are granted, is recognized in accordance with IFRS 2 "Share‐based payments" as an expense in profit or loss, with a corresponding increase in equity, during the period in which the services for which the shares are granted are received.
Total expenses during the vesting period are calculated based on the best available estimate of the number of shares expected to be vested. The fair value of the shares is based on the stock price of the share of the Company.

For management information purposes, the Group is organised into the following business segments:
| Business segment | Operations |
|---|---|
| Commercial activities | Includes sales of a wide range of products, mostly IT related, such as IT equipment, Apple and Xiaomi mobile phone devices, air conditioning devices and other home appliances |
| Information technology services | Concerns production and maintenance services of IT software |
| Postal services | Relates to rendering of services (courier and post) for the handling of shipments for customers |
| Production of electric power from renewable energy sources | Relates to production and sale of electric power generated from renewable energy sources |
Management monitors the financial results of each business segment separately. Business segments are managed independently. Operating segments are presented in a manner consistent with the internal information provided to the chief operating decision makers. The chief operating decision makers are responsible for allocating resources and evaluating the performance of the business segments.
The business segments presented above are the reportable segments of the Group and have arisen from the aggregation of the operating segments of the Group (individual group companies), as the relevant criteria set out in IFRS 8 "Operating segments" are met. More specifically, the operating segments within the Group present similar economic characteristics and are also roughly similar in terms of product/services offered, nature of production processes, customers and distribution channels that they use.
The financial results for the years ended 30 June 2023 and 30 June 2022 per business segment are as follows (under category unallocated mainly the Company's activity is included):

The balance of euro 22.767 thousand of the unamortized value of the industrial property rights in the Group mainly includes euro 19 million relating to licenses for energy production from renewable energy sources and euro 4 million relating to trademarks (euro 1 mil.) and products distribution rights (euro 3 mil.).
Regarding licenses, the above amount was determined following the purchase price allocations of the power plants and is being amortized under a useful life of 50 years from the date of commencement of operation of each plant. It is noted that since 1 January 2023 the useful economic life of the energy licenses has been reassessed from 27 to 50 years following decision no. 867/24.11.2022 of the Energy Regulatory Authority, based on which the validity period for production licenses for renewable energy power stations, which were put into operation before the entry into force of Law 3468/2006, may be extended to a period of 50 years. As of 30 June 2023, the change in the accounting estimate relating to the increase in the expected useful economic life of energy production licenses from 27 to 50 years, resulted in a decrease in administrative expenses by euro 241 thousand for the period 1/01‐30/06/2023 compared to prior year. On an annual basis, the increase in the UEL will result in a decrease in administrative expenses by approximately euro 482 thousand on a Group level for the following fiscal periods.
Regarding trademarks, these concern trademark of the subsidiary "G.E. Dimitriou AEE" with cost of euro 1 mil. and indefinite useful life, which will be tested for impairment on an annual basis following the method "Relief from Royalties".
On a Group level, an amount of euro 3.296 thousand is included in the additions of prior year that relates to the cost of an intangible asset, which was identified for subsidiary G.E. Dimitriou in the context of the purchase price allocation process that was completed as of 30 June 2023 and was recognized retrospectively as of 31 August 2022. The specific intangible, that concerns the distribution contract for Toyotomi products that the subsidiary has concluded, meets the recognition criteria, as set forth in IFRS 3 "Business Combinations" and IAS 38 "Intangible assets", and consequently was accounted for retrospectively on a Group level (Notes 28 and 31). The useful life of the asset has been determined at 8,6 years.

According to the valuation report, the fair value of the land was assessed at euro 2.767 thousand with reference date the 18 January 2023.

On 22 May 2023, the Company acquired 100% of the shares and the respective voting rights in EPAFOS S.M.S.A. The acquiree has been developing integrated information systems to streamline the management and operations of educational organizations for the past 30 years. It holds a leading position in its market segment with a customer base of 3.000 active customers in the sector of education and a significant market share, offering a wide range of IT and new technologies solutions. EPAFOS, which is currently a customer of group subsidiary Info Quest Technologies, will become the vehicle that will enable the penetration of the Group into the sector of IT systems for education, which is particularly promising with very positive prospects. The specific investment is estimated to contribute around euro 5.000 thousand extra revenue to the Group on an annual basis at an EBITDA margin of around 10%.
The consideration transferred for the acquisition amounted to euro 2.514 thousand (cash consideration). The total consideration agreed includes a contingent component (earn‐out) and is expected to reach up to euro 4.984 thousand in total.
The following table summarizes the acquisition date fair value of each major class of consideration transferred:

|---|---|---|
| Cash | 2.514 | |
| Contingent consideration | 2.470 | |
| Total consideration transferred | 4.984 |

(Amounts presented in thousand Euro unless otherwise stated)
In accordance with the terms of the acquisition agreement and as already mentioned, the Group may pay out to the shareholder of EPAFOS an additional amount within 2025, which shall reach up to a maximum of euro 2.470 thousand, provided that specific targets regarding turnover and EBITDA for the years 2023‐2024 are achieved.
The goodwill that arose from the acquisition has been calculated as follows: Amounts in thousand euros

The goodwill arising from the acquisition of EPAFOS has been determined on a provisional basis, as the relevant purchase price allocation (PPA) process has not been completed until the date the interim financial statements of 30 June 2023 were authorized for issue, and therefore the book values of the acquired assets and liabilities as of the acquisition date 31 May 2023 have been used for its determination. During the 12‐month measurement period after the acquisition date, the acquisition accounting will be completed with any necessary adjustments that might arise upon the finalization of the PPA. The goodwill is attributable mainly to the know‐how and specialization that EPAFOS has developed in the field of Information Systems for education.
During the previous fiscal year 2022, the Company participated in the restructuring of G.E. DIMITRIOU. Specifically, the Decision no. 146/2002 of the Multi Member Court of First Instance of Athens upheld the petition of the company G.E. DIMITRIOU, dated 31/03/2021 bearing General Filing Number 16524/2021 and Special Filing Number 98/2021, regarding the immediate ratification of the restructuring agreement (according to article 44 of Law 4738/2020) and ratified the restructuring agreement dated 30/03/2021 between G.E. DIMITRIOU and its creditors.
The Board of Directors of the Company was informed about the Extraordinary General Meeting of the shareholders of G.E. DIMITRIOU, that was convened on 18/7/2022 in implementation of the restructuring agreement and in particular, article 7 thereof. The General Meeting decided, inter alia, to increase the Share Capital of the Company by the amount of euro 5.000.000

(Amounts presented in thousand Euro unless otherwise stated)
with the issuance of 125.000.000 shares of a nominal value of euro 0,04 each. Furthermore, the Board of Directors of the Company was informed that the restructuring agreement stipulates that the Company would undertake, in accordance with the terms of the restructuring agreement, the obligation to cover the entire amount of the increase of the share capital of the company G.E. DIMITRIOU, within 6 months upon the ratification of the restructuring agreement by the competent Court, and that the existing shareholders would participate in the increase of the share capital of G.E. DIMITRIOU, up to the amount of euro 210.239,16. Following this, and in accordance with the provisions of the restructuring agreement, the Company on 25 August 2022, paid out a lump sum of euro 4.789.760,84 in this respect, holding a share of 95,03% after the exercise of the relevant preemptive rights of the existing shareholders.
Finally, according to the decision made by the Board of Directors of the company G.E. DIMITRIOU, concerning the newly issued shares that had remained unsold after the exercise of the preemptive rights granted to the existing shareholders upon the share capital increase, and after notification given to the Company, the Company paid out on 25 August 2022 an additional amount of euro 204.387,16 for the acquisition of the total number of the shares unsold (namely 5.109.679 newly issued shares). As a result, the interest held by the Company on the share capital of G.E. DIMITRIOU finally reached at 99,089%.
Regarding the goodwill that arose, that had been measured on a provisional basis as at 31/8/2022, it was finalized as of 30/06/2023 retrospectively upon completion of the Purchase Price Allocation process ('PPA'). The final goodwill was calculated as follows:

Based on the PPA process, the fair values of the net assets of G.E. DIMITRIOU as of 31/08/2023 were determined as follows:
For G.E. DIMITRIOU a new intangible asset was identified and recognized that concerns the distribution agreement for products of brand "Toyotomi" that had been concluded by the subsidiary, since the recognition criteria set forth in IFRS 3 "Business Combinations" and IAS 38 "Intangible assets" are being met. The cost of the asset was determined at euro 3.296 thousand and the useful life was set at 8,6 years. The acquisition accounting was completed retrospectively as of 30/06/2023 (Note 32).
For the measurement of the fair value of the intangible assets of G.E. DIMITRIOU, that are the most material assets of the acquiree, internationally accepted methodologies and techniques were used, together with information and data provided by the Management of the acquiree, including, among others, business plans, estimates and forecasts for future financial figures, as required by IFRS 13 "Fair Value Measurement". The valuation of the agreement concluded by G.E. DIMITRIOU for the distribution rights of the products of globally acknowledged company TOYOTOMI, given the fact that it is the main source of revenue of G.E. DIMITRIOU, was based on the Multi‐Period Excess Earnings Method, which is an income approach and is deemed the most appropriate in the circumstances valuation technique. The Multi‐Period Excess Earnings Method considers the present value of the net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset, after excluding any cash flows related to contributory assets.
The control acquired over company G.E. DIMITRIOU S.A. enabled the Group to increase its market share mainly in the market segment of heating and cooling electric appliances, as G.E. DIMITRIOU S.A. acts as representator of strong brands in the market (Toyotomi, Singer, Kerosun etc.). In addition, the Group was benefited from the extended distribution network and the clientele of G.E. DIMITRIOU S.A. and achieved significant synergies.
For the period 1/09‐31/12/2022, G.E. DIMITRIOU had contributed revenue of euro 4.995 thousand and losses before taxes of euro (307) thousand into the results of the Group.
The consideration for the acquisition of G.E. DIMITRIOU did not include any contingent or deferred component.
As of 31 December 2022 and, in the context of IAS 36 "Impairment of assets" regarding the goodwill recognized from the acquisition of G.E. DIMITRIOU, Management performed an impairment review whereby it was assessed that the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit ('CGU'), where the goodwill had been allocated to, exceeded the relevant carrying amount of the CGU and therefore no impairment was required as of 31 December 2022. An impairment review will be conducted at the end of the fiscal year 2023 as well.
The 100% subsidiary company "Quest Energy S.A.", proceeded within the year 2022 with the acquisition of 100% of the share capital of the companies "ΜΚΒΤ PC" and "SUNNYVIEW PC" against a consideration of euro 240 thousand and euro 273 thousand respectively.
The goodwill that resulted from the above acquisitions was determined based on the fair value of the net assets of the companies acquired in accordance with IFRS 3 "Business Combinations" and was as follows:

The above acquisitions concerned acquisitions of businesses and were therefore accounted for in accordance with IFRS 3 "Business combinations", since they include the three elements that constitute a business, namely the inputs (equipment of the photovoltaic station) and the process (operating process of the photovoltaic station) in order to generate an output (electric power).
The acquisition of the companies SUNNYVIEW, MKVT, Damafco Energy, DMN Energy and Pharos Energy significantly enhanced the energy sector of the Group, as the total capacity of the electric power photovoltaic stations reached at 34,3 MW following the specific acquisitions. The goodwill that arose from the acquisitions concerned the deferred tax recognized on the licenses of electric power production identified as part of the purchase price allocation processes.
In the context of the purchase price allocations for the determination of the fair values of the assets and the liabilities of the acquired companies, intangible assets were identified that related to the license that each acquiree has in order to produce electric power from renewable energy sources. For each acquiree, the amount recognized for licenses as of 31 December 2022 on a Group level was the following: MKVT euro 390 thousand, SUNNYVIEW euro 413 thousand, Damafco Energy euro 988 thousand and DMN Energy euro 374 thousand. Regarding the acquisition of Pharos Energy, that was a bargain purchase and generated a gain that was recognized in the profit and loss of the Group, as described above, no intangible asset was recognized for licenses as the amount was evaluated as immaterial on a Group level as of 31 December 2022.

The balance as of 30 June 2023 on a Group level of euro 1.253 thousand concerns subsidiary G.E. DIMITRIOU S.A.. More specifically, it represents the carrying amount of property owned by G.E. DIMITRIOU located in Sepolia, Attica.
On this property, a promissory note in favor of the Piraeus Bank (former Bank of Cypurs Ltd) had been registered for the amount of euro 1.500 thousand and fully mortgaged on 16.7.2019. In the context of the validation of the restructuring agreement a note with no. 539/20.04.2022 was registered for the company's obligation to transfer the property to Piraeus Bank (Note 17). The sale of the property is expected to complete in 2023. The specific property is classified by the Group as of 31 December 2022 as held for sale, as the requirements of IFRS 5 "Non‐current assets held for sale and discontinued operations" are met, namely the subsidiary has been committed to a plan to sell the asset, and the sale is expected to be completed within 2023 and at a reasonable price compared to its current fair value.
The carrying amount of the property as of 30 June 2023 represents its fair value, considering the fact that based on agreement with Piraeus Bank, the carrying amount of euro 1.253 thousand will be offset against the relevant loan liability once the transfer of ownership of the property from G.E. DIMITRIOU to the bank has been completed within 2023. Further to that, based on the latest property valuation available for the specific property prepared by an independent valuer, the fair value has been estimated at euro 1.300 thousand with reference date 15 February 2021.

On a Company level, a loss of euro (20) thousand resulted from the sale of Cardlink One SA eliminated for consolidation purposes.
As of 30 June 2023, the Group finalized the goodwill, that arose from the business combination with G.E. DIMITRIOU effected on 31 August 2022, upon completion of the relevant PPA. In the context of the PPA, an intangible asset was separately recognized relating to the long‐term distribution agreement that the subsidiary has for the exclusive distribution of cooling and heating devices of TOYOTOMI. The recognition of the intangible asset and the finalization of the provisional goodwill on a Group level were accounted for retrospectively as of 31 August 2022 (Note 28), and so the following restatements have been made:

To the Shareholders of Quest Holdings S.A.
We have reviewed the accompanying interim standalone and consolidated condensed Statement of Financial Position of Quest Holdings S.A. (the "Company") as at 30 June 2023 and the related standalone and consolidated condensed Statements of Comprehensive Income, Changes in Equity and Cash Flows for the six-month period then ended and the selected explanatory notes, which comprise the condensed interim financial information and which forms an integral part of the six-month financial report of articles 5 and 5a of Law 3556/2007. Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this condensed interim financial information in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards adopted by the European Union and specifically with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this condensed interim financial information based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements (ISRE) 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 incorporated in 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 as at 30 June 2023 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting".
Our review did not identify any material inconsistency or error in the statements of the members of the Board of Directors and in the information of the six-month Financial Report of the Board of Directors as defined in articles 5 and 5a of Law 3556/2007 in relation to the accompanying condensed interim financial information.
