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 31 March 2023 is as follows:


(Amounts presented in thousand euros unless otherwise stated)
This interim condensed financial information covers the nine-month period ended on March 31st, 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 31 st, 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 fundsfrom banksfor 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 March 31st, 2023, considering the particularly positive performance accomplished during the first quarter of 2023.
The turmoil in the economy during the past years, resulting from the ongoing war in Europe and the epidemic crisis, led to significant increase in the cost of energy, transportation, production and basic consumer goods, the increase in inflation and the decrease in consumer spending, and inevitably affected the Group as well. At the same time, the disruption in the global supply chain resulted in a significant lack of products worldwide, while the change in the dollar-euro exchange rate brought about cost and financial changes. Although the Group does not have any direct exposure in terms of operations or dependence on suppliers in Ukraine or Russia, the possible risks that may arise from the continuous reduction of household disposable income and the increase of operating expenses due to inflationary pressures are being constantly evaluated by Management. The effect on the Group financial figures so far has not been significant, as the Group achieved a particularly positive performance during the first quarter of 2023. Regarding the outlook for the rest of 2023, it is estimated that there will be a relatively limited if not zero effect on the Group's figures based on the data available so far.

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.
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.

(Amounts presented in thousand euros unless otherwise stated)
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.
Management's estimates and judgments are being constantly reassessed and are based on historic information and expectations for future events, which are deemed reasonable under the current circumstances.
The global energy crisis that began in 2021 is characterized by the continuing lack of energy on a global level, but also by the sharp increase in its prices, affecting countries such as the United Kingdom, China and, among others, the European Union. Greece is experiencing a significant price increase in all forms of energy. The Group management has effectively managed the crisis to date, having minimized the negative effects on the activities of the Group. Further to that, management remains vigilant for any future developments and is ready to take all measures necessary, remaining at the same time optimistic around the achievement of the goals set for 2023.
The war between Russia and Ukraine has had a negative effect on the entire global economic activity, since both countries were significant suppliers of natural gas, oil and wheat, primarily on a European, but also on a global level. The Group operates in sectors that do not have a direct geographical connection to the events in Ukraine on the one hand, and on the other hand management has effectively managed so far the negative consequences caused by the geopolitical uncertainty, the rising inflation and the disruptions in the global supply chain. Furthermore, management remains vigilant for any future developments and their potential impact on the operations of the Group.
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 31 March 2023, as a direct consequence of climate-related risks.
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.

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. 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.

(Amounts presented in thousand euros unless otherwise stated)
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.
The activities of the Group are divided 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 31st of March 2023 and 31st of March 2022 per business segment are as follows (under category unallocated mainly the Company's activity is included):

The balance of euro 19.889 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 1 million relating to trademarks.
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. The increase of the useful economic life is a change in accounting estimate and is therefore being recognized prospectively from 1 January 2023 in accordance with IAS 8 "Accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and errors".
Regarding trademarks, these concern the subsidiary "G.E. Dimitriou AEE", are of indefinite useful life and are therefore annually tested for impairment following the method "Relief from Royalties".

Lease contracts are usually concluded for fixed periods from 4 to 10 years but may have extensions or termination rights. The main contracts of the Group containing this type of rights mainly concern the category of buildings. In their majority, these leases provide termination rights after a determined period.
In most cases, it is considered that the termination rights will not be exercised, as they basically serve the activities of the Group.
Lease contracts do not impose other penalties except for the security on the leased assets held by the lessor. Leased assets may not be used as security for borrowing purposes.
Lease liabilities relate to the discounted future lease payments in accordance with IFRS 16 'Leases'.

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 at 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 Decision no. 146/2002 of the Multi Member Court of First Instance of Athens upheld the petition of the company under the name "G.E. DIMITRIOU S.A.", 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 S.A." and its creditors.
The Board of Directors of the Company was informed about the Extraordinary General Meeting of the shareholders of "G.E. DIMITRIOU S.A.", 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 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 S.A. ", 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 S.A.", 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 an amount 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 S.A.", 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 S.A." reached at 99,089%.
The provisional goodwill recognized on a Group level was calculated as follows:

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 goodwill that arose from the acquisition of G.E. DIMITRIOU S.A. was measured on a provisional basis, as the relevant Purchase Price Allocation process ('PPA') had not been completed by the Group until the date the financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors of the Company. Its measurement was therefore based on the book values of the assets and the liabilities acquired as of 31 August 2022. During the measurement period of twelve months from the acquisition date, the accounting of the acquisition will be finalized after considering any adjustments that may be required once the PPA has been completed. The PPA will determine whether an intangible asset can be recognized by the Group relating to the long-term distribution contracts of G.E. DIMITRIOU, if it is probable that the future economic benefits attributed to the asset will flow to the Group and the cost of the asset can be reliably estimated, meeting therefore the recognition criteria of IAS 38 "Intangible assets". The consideration of the acquisition of G.E. DIMITRIOU did not include any contingent or deferred components.
In the context of IAS 36 "Impairment of assets" regarding the goodwill recognized from the acquisition of G.E. DIMITRIOU of euro 16.525 thousand, 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.
This conclusion was directly related with the positive future prospects of the acquiree regarding its financial performance, considering the fact that the actual key figures of G.E. DIMITRIOU had already exceeded the budgeted ones for 2023. Since 1 January 2023, G.E. DIMITRIOU operates independently from subsidiary Info Quest Technologies (till 31 December 2022 G.E. DIMITRIOU was selling its products through Info Quest Technologies).
