2.1 FINANCIAL POSITION – PERFORMANCE – OTHER INFORMATION

2.1.1 FINANCIAL FIGURES

In the first half of 2019, the Greek economy continued to follow a path of stabilization and recovery, after a decade of accumulated deep recession. The confidence in the Greek economy has increased and this was reflected in the decline in Greek bond yields, which marks the gradual return to smooth financing.

Nevertheless, growth rates remain low and the economy is still facing major challenges, such as the global economic slowdown and geopolitical tensions as well.

Specifically, in the first quarter of 2019, GDP grew 1.7%, with economic activity primarily attributable to service exports, investment and private consumption. Moreover, in the first half of 2019, the increase in deposits, the suspension of funding of the Greek banking system by the Emergency Liquidity Assistance Facility (ELA), and the relaxation of the restrictions imposed on the banking system, contributed to the increase of banking financing and the improvement of the financial environment.

According to Bank of Greece estimates, economic activity is expected to grow by 1.9% in 2019 as GDP growth relies on private consumption, business investment and exports. Any delays in implementing reforms will have a negative impact on the investment climate and economic activity. In addition, the high stock of non-performing loans, unemployment and low foreign investment as well as geopolitical developments remain the biggest challenges for the Greek economy.

Management continually assesses the potential impact of any changes in the macroeconomic and financial environment to ensure that all necessary actions and measures are taken to minimize any negative impact on the Group's operations. The effort to expand overseas will continue through partnerships as well as tracking and exploiting all the business opportunities that are in line with the Group's philosophy of taking reasonable risks and achieving satisfactory profitability.

The company's activities complied with the applicable legislation and its objectives as defined in its statutes.

More detailed data, of the financial statements, compared to those of the previous period are provided in the following pages.

For the parent company and its Greek subsidiaries this audit is concluded for the fiscal years 2011 to 2018 and the tax audit reports were issued without any qualification

Except the above mentioned there are no other contingent liabilities.

2.2 ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES

The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA / 2015 / 1415el) published the final guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures (APMs) applicable from 3 July 2016 to securities companies traded on organized exchanges. APMs are disclosed by publishers when publishing regulated information and are intended to enhance transparency and promote the usefulness and fair and full information of the investing public.

The Alternative Performance Measurement Score (EMMA) is an adjusted economic measurement of historical or future economic performance, financial position or cash flow, other than the economic measurement set out in the applicable financial reporting framework. That is to say, APM does not rely exclusively on the standards of financial statements, but provides substantial additional information, excluding elements that may differ from operating results or cash flows.

EMMA should always be taken into account in conjunction with the financial results prepared under IFRSs and should under no circumstances be considered as replacing them. The Group uses the Custom Indicators (EMMA) to better reflect the financial and operating performance related to the Group's activity as such in the reference year as well as the corresponding previous comparable period.

Adjusting elements

Figures influencing the adjustment of the indices used by the Group to extract the ALPs according to the first halffinancial statements 2019 and the corresponding financial statements of the prior period are the provisions for trade receivables impairment.

The elements affecting the adjustment of the indicators (ALPs) on 30.06.2019 and 30.06.2018 are shown in the table below:

The project involves the implementation of a series of innovative actions to enhance the sense of security in the city of Piraeus, utilizing the results of the H2020 City.Risks project coordinated by Space Hellas.

The Group's operations in international markets are continued through its subsidiaries in Cyprus, Malta, Serbia, Romania and Jordan, as well as with commercial activity in the Balkans, the Middle East and North Africa. In addition, in cooperation with the Dutch Web-IQ company, SPACE HELLAS, which owns 32.28%, participates in international conferences, presentations and bids addressed to the global Cyber security market and applications for Real Time Web Intelligence. Special emphasis will be given to the launch of the new Web-IQ platform dedicated exclusively to the banking and insurance market for risk recognition and combating financial fraud.

Complex projects from international markets are described in detail in the 2018 Annual Financial Report (paragraph 2.4) and no significant changes are expected for the second half of 2019.

In summary, for the second semester of 2019, it is expected that the growth and strengthening of the financial position of the SPACE HELLAS group is expected to continue. Signing very important contracts and launching in 2019 projects such as Couple II, Civil Aviation Communications and Voice Recording System, HEDD Network MPLS, the Evros surveillance system for the Ministry of Public Order etc. creates a significant amount of backlog and revenue prospects for the coming years. For the preparation and implementation of these projects in 2019 the company continues to invest in both human resources and know-how with the aim of successfully completing the projects.

From the signed contracts and those that are in the tender process, but which have a significant potential for a positive development, it is expected that, as already mentioned, the share of public sector revenue will increase compared to that of the private sector recorded in previous years.

The SPACE HELLAS group, however, remains committed to the technological needs of large businesses and organizations in the private sector and continues to invest in developing innovative solutions and services in collaboration with all leading international ICT manufacturers.

2.5 RISK MANAGEMENT AND HEADGING POLICY

The Group and the Company in the day to day business, is exposed to a series of financial and business risks and uncertainties associated with both the general economic situation as well as the specific circumstances typical of the industry.

The Group's expertise, its highly trained and skilled staff and its state of the arte equipment, together with the development of new products will allow the Group to maintain its competitive advantage and to penetrate in new markets as well.

Furthermore, continuously adaptive to the new business environment, our structures together with the significant amount of ongoing projects allows believing that the Group will meet the critical needs of the coming year and will help minimize uncertainties.

The Group is exposed to the following:

Financial Risk Factors

The Group is exposed to various financial risks, including unpredictable fluctuations in exchange rates and interest rates, market risks, credit risks and liquidity risks. The overall risk management program of the Group seeks to minimize the possible adverse effects of these fluctuations on the financial performance of the Group.

Risk management policy is applied by the Group's management, through the assessment of the risks associated with the Group's activities and functions and carry out the design of the methodology by selecting the appropriate financial products in order to achieve risk reduction.

The financial instruments used by the Group consist mainly of bank deposits, transactions in foreign currency at current prices or short term currency futures, bank overdrafts, accounts receivable and payables.

Foreign Exchange Risk

The Group's exposure to foreign exchange risk arises from actual or anticipated cash flows in foreign currency (imports - exports). The Group's management constantly monitors the fluctuations and the tendency of foreign currencies and evaluates each case individually, taking appropriate action where necessary, through agreements against interest rate risks. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities disclosed in a currency different from the entity's functional currency. For the foreign exchange risk which arises from future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities, the company uses currency futures as required.

The main trading currencies of the Group are the Euro, and USD.

Price Risk

The Group is not exposed to securities price risk. The Group is exposed to risk due to the variations of the value of the goods used for trade and of the raw-materials used. In order to face the risk of impairment of inventories, a

rationalized warehouse management aims to minimize the stock according to progress of the production needs. Our aim is to minimize the warehouse retention time in order to minimize the risk of impairment of inventories.

Interest Rate Risk

The fluctuations in the interest rate markets can have an impact on the Group's income and the Group's operating cash flows.

It is the policy of the Group to continuously review interest rate trends and the tenor of financing needs. In this respect, decisions are made on a case by case basis as to the tenor and the fixed versus floating cost of a new loan. Thus, the amount of short term borrowings is variable. All short term borrowings are based on floating rates. Consequently, the impact of the interest rate (EURIBOR) fluctuations is directly related to the amount of loans.

However in case the credit markets and the capital markets continue to be unstable and the availability of funds remains limited, this will increase the probability that the Group may move to higher interest rates and other costs related to the financing of debt. Thus, the careful monitoring and the interest risk management decreases the risk of significant impact on profits due to short term fluctuations.

Sensitivity analysis of Group's borrowings due to interest rate changes:

Credit Risk

Credit risk lies in the cash, bank deposits, financial instruments as well as exposure to trade risk.

Receivables from customers are mainly from big organizations of the private and the public sector. The financial situation of clients is monitored closely and redefined according to the new conditions. The Group assesses the good standing of each customer, via independent assessment body or internally, taking into account its financial position, past experience and other factors, monitoring the amount of the extent of the credit line. Customer credit limits are set based on internal or external ratings in accordance with limits set by the Management. As the unfavorable economic situation of the domestic market, since the beginning of the economic crisis, creates risks for any doubtful debts, the Group's management has put mechanisms capable of such response, taking into account the structure of the client base of the Group. Regarding the exposure of the company to the risk of non-recovery of debts by the Public sector, this risk is significantly reduced as the receivable from the Public sector entities have been decreased. In addition, the current legislation, favors the offsetting of the companies between their obligations towards the Greek State with overdue receivables. For specific credit risks, provisions for losses from impairment. The backdating of collections is an issue to be managed but is not linked to the good standing of our debtors.

To minimize the credit risk on cash and cash equivalents, the Group under policies approved by the Board of Directors sets limits on the amount to be exposed. Also with regard to money market instruments, the Group only does business with recognized financial rating institutions

Liquidity Risk

Bank financing (focusing on on-the-project basis funding), which is based on the excellent relationship the company has with the largest credit institutions in the country and provides sufficient credit lines to finance our business plans.

In addition, excellent relationships with our suppliers, which are based on long-lasting, reliable and stable relationship, provide us with significant help in trying to smooth cash flow. Capital controls did not materially affect the aforementioned relationships.

Capital Management

The primary objective of the Group's capital management is to ensure that it maintains a strong investment grade credit rating and healthy capital ratios in order to support its operations and expand the Group's activities.

The group's policy is to maintain leverage targets in line with an investment grade profile. The gearing ratio is calculated by dividing the net borrowing with the total capital employed.

Group Company
Amounts in € thousand 30.06.2019 31.12.2018 30.06.2019 31.12.2018

Long term Borrowings 12.988 12.674 12.988 12.674
Less: cash and cash equivalents -7.144 -13.158 -6.234 -12.394

Equity 16.022 15.139 15.320 14.416
Total capital employed 33.392 23.261 33.600 23.302
Gearing ratio 52,02% 34,92% 54,40% 38,13%

Significant cash flow to suppliers led operating cash flows to a negative sign in the first half and was covered by both cash and borrowing. This, while largely explains the increase in the leverage ratio from 34.92% to 52.02%, did not affect the acid liquidity ratio. It is noted that the leverage ratio is constantly showing an improvement every second half of the year.

Business Long term Risk

The Greek economy continues to follow a path of stabilization and recovery after a decade of recession. The emergence of a stable government reinforces expectations for the future of the Greek economy in the coming period.

Strengthening market confidence was reflected in the decline in Greek bond yields, which marks the gradual smoothing of the country's financing.

The Economic Sentiment Indicator (ESI) in Greece saw a major improvement in August, according to a European Commission survey of businesses and consumers, while the corresponding euro area index registered a slight improvement and that of the European Union deteriorated.

The basis for the growth of the economy in the coming years will be both the re-launch of major investment projects, the implementation of structural changes, the ability to relax certain fiscal targets agreed with international creditors, and the complete liberalization of the restriction on the movement of capital, in combination with reducing over taxation.

As the country's debt remains high, there remains the risk of the economy failing to meet the goals of reducing unemployment and economic growth, which have improved significantly compared to previous years.

In addition, global developments affecting both the US and Great Britain are affecting Europe's overall economic environment in combination with geopolitical risks.

In particular, Turkey's financial crisis in the wider region needs to be evaluated. It is particularly difficult to assess the interactions of all of the above and to express an appreciation of their degree of influence in the Greek business environment. As a result, SPACE has opted for a sensible risk-taking policy that breaks down into different product strategies and geographical areas. More specifically, we are trying to expand our know-how in areas essential for today's event and spread the risk geographically as we expand to overseas markets. The banking system is aiding us in this endeavor through the excellent relationships we maintain. Specifically, the Group's seamless collaboration with financial institutions in combination with the banking system's risk-taking policy allows us to cope with both capital constraints and the continued improvement of relationships with our core suppliers.

3 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT ON INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

To the Shareholders of SPACE HELLAS S.A»

REPORT ON REVIEW OF INTERIM CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed separate and consolidated statement of financial position of "SPACE HELLAS S.A." as at 30 June 2019 and the related condensed separate and consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month period then ended, as well as the selected explanatory notes comprising the interim condensed financial information, which is an integral part of the six-month financial report of article 5 L. 3556/2007.

Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim condensed financial information in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and applicable to interim financial reporting (International Accounting Standard "IAS 34"). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim condensed financial information based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing 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.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim condensed financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34.

Report on other legal and regulatory requirements

Our review did not identify any inconsistency or non-correspondence of the other information contained in the sixmonth financial report prepared in accordance with article 5 and 5a of Law 3556/2007, in relation to the accompanying condensed separate and consolidated financial information.

4.5.2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

4.5.2.1 Basis of Preparation

The interim financial statements of the first semester 2019 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 "Interim Financial Reporting".

The accompanying financial statements do not include all the information and notes required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Group and the Company as at 31 December 2018. Nevertheless, the financial statements include selected notes for an explanation of events and transactions that are important to understand the changes in the financial position of the Group and the Company in relation to the latest annual published financial statements.

The accounting policies used for the preparation of the interim condensed financial statements are consistent with those used in the preparation of the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended December 31 2018, except for the new standards and interpretations adopted, the application of which became mandatory for periods after 1 January 2019.

The accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared complying with the historical cost convention, adjusted with the revaluation of certain assets and liabilities at fair values and with the principle of «going concern».

The Group's comparative advantage is its satisfied customers, its specialized know-how, its excellent organization, continuous investment in modern equipment, its staffing with highly specialized human resources, the development of new products, the recognition of its credibility demonstrated by the excellent relations of the Group with its suppliers and the largest credit institutions in the country and abroad are the guarantee for long-term survival with significant benefits for the shareholders.

The preparation of financial statements was made in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and the Group Management is required to make assumptions and accounting estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of preparation financial statements as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on the best knowledge of management with respect to the circumstances and the current conditions, actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are considered reasonable under the circumstances. The Group's management believes that there are no assumptions or estimates that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities. Important assumptions made are mentioned in the notes, whenever deemed necessary.

The figures in this report are shown in thousands of Euro, except when otherwise indicated. Any differences presented between the amounts in the financial statements and the corresponding amounts in the notes are due to rounding. Where necessary, comparative figures have been classified to conform to changes in presentation of the elements of this period.

4.5.3 NEW STANDARDS, INTERPRETATIONS AND AMENDMENTS TO PUBLISHED STANDARDS New standards and interpretations not yet adopted

IFRS 16 (effective for annual accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019). IFRS 16 was issued in January 2016 and replaces IAS 17. The purpose of the standard is to ensure that lessees and lessors provide useful information that reasonably discloses the substance of transactions relating to leases. IFRS 16 introduces a single model for the accounting treatment by the lessee requiring the lessee to recognize assets and liabilities for all lease contracts with a maturity of more than 12 months unless the underlying asset is of non-significant value. Regarding accounting treatment by the lessor, IFRS 16 substantially integrates the requirements of IAS 17. Therefore, the lessor continues to categorize leases in operating and finance leases and to follow different accounting treatment for each type of contract. The impact of applying the Standard to the Group and the Company is described in note 4.5.3.1.

IFRS 9 (Amendments) "Early Repayment Rights with Negative Redemption" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019). The amendments allow companies, if they meet a specific condition, to measure financial assets with the right to early repayment and the payment of negative compensation at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income rather than at fair value through profit or loss. The amendments do not have an impact on the Financial Statements of the Group and the Company.

IAS 28 (Amendments) "Long-term interests in associates and joint ventures" (effective from annual accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019). The amendments specify that entities shall account for their longterm interests in an associate or joint venture - to which the equity method does not apply - under IFRS 9. The amendments have no impact on the Group's and Company's Financial Statements.

IFRIC 23 "Uncertainty about the handling of income tax issues" (applied to annual accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019). The Interpretation provides explanations for the recognition and measurement of current and deferred income tax when there is uncertainty about the tax treatment of certain items. IFRIC 23 applies to all aspects of income tax accounting when there is such uncertainty, including taxable profit / loss, the tax base of assets and liabilities, tax profits and tax losses and tax rates.

IAS 19 (Amendments) "Schedule Amendment, Cut or Settlement" (effective for annual periods accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019). The amendments specify how entities should determine retirement expenses when changes to defined benefit pension plans occur. The amendments do not have a material impact on the financial statements of the Group and the Company.

Annual Improvements to IFRSs (Cycle 2015 - 2017) (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019). The amendments listed below include changes to four IFRSs.

IFRS 3 "Business Combinations". The amendments specify that an entity revalues the percentage previously held in a jointly controlled activity when it acquires control of that entity.

IFRS 11 "Joint arrangements". The amendments specify that an entity does not revalue the percentage previously held in a jointly controlled activity when it jointly obtains control of that entity.

IAS 12 "Income Taxes". The amendments specify that an entity accounts for all the effects of dividend payments in the same way.

IAS 23 "Borrowing Costs". The amendments specify that an entity handles as part of the general lending any loan specifically committed to the development of an asset when that asset is ready for its intended use or sale.

The above amendments did not have an impact on the Financial Statements of the Group and the Company.

Standards and interpretations required for subsequent periods:

The following new Standards, Interpretations and Amendments to Standards have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), but have either not yet entered into force or have been adopted by the European Union.

Amendments to IFRS 3: "Definition of a Business" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 01/01/2020). The new definition focuses on the concept of rendering a business in the form of providing goods and services to customers as opposed to the previous definition which focused on returns in the form of dividends, lower costs or other financial benefits to investors and other parties. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the European Union. The adoption of these amendments is not expected to have an impact on the Financial Statements of the Group and the Company.

Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8: "Definition of Substantive" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 01/01/2020). The amendments clarify the definition of material and how it should be used, supplementing the definition with guidance that has been provided elsewhere in IFRSs. In addition, the clarifications that accompany the definition have been improved. Finally, the amendments ensure that the definition of material is consistently applied to all IFRSs. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the European Union. The adoption of these amendments is not expected to have an impact on the Financial Statements of the Group and the Company.

IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021). IFRS 17 was issued in May 2017 and replaces IFRS 4. IFRS 17 establishes the principles for the recognition, measurement and presentation of insurance policies that are within the scope of the standard and related disclosures. The purpose of the standard is to ensure that an entity provides relevant information that gives a fair view of these contracts. The new standard solves the comparability problems created by IFRS 4 as it requires all insurance policies to be accounted for in a consistent manner. Insurance liabilities will be measured at fair value rather than historical cost. The standard has not yet been endorsed by the European Union. The above standard does not apply to the Financial Statements of the Group and the Company.

4.5.3.1 Accounting Methods and Changes

There are no changes in the accounting policies applied in relation to those used in the preparation of the financial statements as at 31 December 2018, except for the new standards and interpretations adopted, which became mandatory for the periods after 1 January 2019:

IFRS 16 "Leases" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. IFRS 16 was issued in January 2016 and replaces IAS 17. The purpose of the standard is to ensure that tenants and lessors provide useful information presenting it reasonably.

Essence of leasing transactions. IFRS 16 introduces a single model for accounting treatment by the lessee that requires the lessee to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases with a maturity of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of non-significant value. . With regard to the lessor's accounting treatment, IFRS 16 substantially incorporates the requirements of IAS 17. Therefore, the lessor continues to categorize the leases into operating and financial leases, followed by a different accounting treatment for each type of contract. The Group and the Company were not affected by the adoption of IFRS 16 in the case of lessors.

SPACE Group has decided as the most appropriate method for the initial application of IFRS 16, the retrospective application by adjusting the balance of the start-up balance at the transition date. According to this method, it has recognized a financial liability at the present value of the residual lease, discounted at an Incremental borrowing rate on the date of first application, namely 1/1/2019 and a Right to Equity Loan.

A key component in calculating the present value of the remaining lease payments was the use of the Increase Rate. The Incremental Borrowing Rate (I.B.R.) calculated the interest rate that the company could receive in order to acquire assets corresponding to those to which the operating leases concerned relate.

Schematically the methodological approach for the first application of the standard on 1/1/2019 is as follows:

  • i. Moody's rating model with existing lending
  • ii. Moody's rating model with additional lending
  • iii. Determination of augmentation (Delta Rate) due to additional borrowing
Current
interest rate
•Determination of Existing Borrowing Rate
IBR •Determination of IBR on 01.01.2019
• i. Moody's rating model with existing lending
•ii.Moody's rating model with additional lending
•iii. Determination of augmentation (Delta Rate) due to additional borrowing

Liability
•Recognition of a Financial Liability equal to the present value of the leases of each
contract on 01.01.2019
Right of use •Recognition of Rights of Use Equal to the Value of the Financial Obligation on
01.01.2019

= Existing Borrowing Rate + Incremental spread =4.67% + 0.13% =4.80%

The Group recognizes use of rights and lease obligations for most leases other than short-term leases (less than one-year lease) and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value (less than approximately € 4,500).

The right to use and the obligation to lease are recognized at the date of commencement of the lease. The right to use is initially measured at cost and subsequently at cost less any accumulated depreciation, impairment losses and adjustments for certain leases. The recognized rights of use relate to the following asset classes:

Amounts in € thousand Group Company
Vehicle leases 717 717
Bulding leases 346 322

Total Equity and Liabilities 58.268 1.063 59.331 57.224 1.039 58.263

As already stated, the lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the payments of such leases that have not been repaid at the start date, discounted, using the IBR Growth Rate.

Subsequently the lease liability is increased by the interest expense calculated on the lease liability and reduced by the payment of rents.

During the period ended 30.06.2019, the Group and the Company have recognized in the income statement expenses, depreciation and interest expense rather than operating lease expense. At Group level, depreciation expense recognized amounted to € 236 thousand and interest expense amounted to € 28 thousand.

At Company level, depreciation expense recognized amounted to € 230 thousand and interest expense amounted to € 28 thousand.

The impact on Earnings before Taxes, Interest and Depreciation (EBITDA) from the application of IFRS 16 was positive by € 264 thousand for the Group and € 258 thousand for the Company due to the recognition of depreciation expense and interest instead of expense from rentals.

4.5.3.2 Property, Plant And Equipment

Fixed assets are disclosed in the financial statements at their acquisition cost or fair value. Fair value is the amount for which a fixed asset can be exchanged between parties that have knowledge of the subject and act voluntarily in a purely commercial operation. The initial recognition of an asset is always at the cost. The cost of acquisition of fixed assets includes directly allocated costs (purchase price, transport, premiums, non-refundable purchase taxes, etc.) necessary to be operational at the date of preparation of the financial statements.

The Group's and Company's Buildings are measured at fair value as at 30.06.2018 based on valuation performed by independent valuators.

Other assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is charged to the Income Statement on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the fixed assets. The land is not depreciated.

Intangible assets include goodwill, concessions and industrial property rights, as well as computer software both acquired and internally generated as well. The cost of internally generated software comprises the cost of materials and the cost of personnel as well as other costs incurred in order to prepare the asset for the intended use. The criteria used in order to recognize the costs incurred as intangible assets are:

  • Intention of the Group to proceed in the creation of the asset.
  • Technical possibility of completion of the asset to make it ready for use or sale.
  • Adequate technical, financial and other resources for the completion of the asset.
  • Group's ability to use or sale the asset.
  • Capability of the maternally generated asset to create future economic benefits for the Group.
  • Reliable measurement of the expenditure attributable to the asset during its development.

The cost of purchasing and deploying software recognized as intangible assets is depreciated using the straight-line method over its useful life.

Concessions and industrial property rights are no subject to depreciation because of the difficulty to estimate with accuracy their commercial value.

The useful lives of the assets are as follows:

Description Useful live (in years)
Buildings and buildings installations 50

The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.

4.5.3.3 Investment property

Investment property is intended to generate rental income or profit from its resale. The properties used for the Group's operating activities are not considered as investment but operational. This is also the criterion of separation between investment and operating real estate.

Investment properties as long-term assets are disclosed at fair value, which will be revalued at each end of the year. Any changes in fair value, which represents the free market price, are recognized in the other income / expense of the income statement.

4.5.3.4 Impairment of Assets

Assets with an indefinite useful life are not depreciated and are subject to an impairment review annually and when some events suggest that the book value may not be recoverable any resulting difference is charged to the period's results.

Assets that are depreciated are subject to an impairment review when there is evidence that their value will not be recoverable. The recoverable value is the greater between the net sales value and the value in use. An impairment loss is recognized by the company when the book value of these assets (or cash generating unit- CGU) is greater than its recoverable amount.

Net sales value is the amount received from the sale of an asset at an arm's length transaction in which participating parties have full knowledge and participate voluntarily, after deducting any additional direct cost for the sale of the asset, while value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows that are expected to flow into the company from the use of the asset and from its disposal at the end of its estimated useful life.

4.5.3.5 Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group's share of the net assets of the acquired subsidiary, joint venture and associate at the date of acquisition.

Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries and joint ventures are included in intangible assets and disclosed at the acquisition cost. This cost equals the consolidation cost that exceeds the company's share to the assets and liabilities of the acquired entity. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. The Group performs its annual impairment test of goodwill as at 31 December. When needed, impairment is determined for goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating units, to which the goodwill relates.

4.5.3.6 Consolidation

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are entities (including special purpose entities) in which the Group has an interest of more than one half of the voting rights or otherwise has power to govern the financial and operating policies.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and are no longer consolidated from the date that control ceases. The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries. Note 1.6(a) outlines the accounting policy on goodwill. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the sum of the fair values, at the date of exchange, of the assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the Group, in exchange for control of the acquired plus any costs directly attributable to the acquisition. The acquired identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any minority interests.

The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired is recorded as goodwill. Where the cost of the acquisition is less than the fair value of the Group's share of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in the income statement.

Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless cost cannot be recovered. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

Associates

Associates are entities over which the Group generally has between 20% and 50% of the voting rights, or over which the Group has significant influence, but which it does not control. Investments in associates are accounted for by the equity method of accounting and are initially recognized at cost. The Group's investment in associates includes goodwill (net of any cumulative impairments losses) identified in acquisition.

Under this method the Group's share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of associates is recognized in the income statement and its share of post-acquisition movements in other reserves is recognized in other reserves. The cumulative post-acquisition movements in balance sheet assets and liabilities are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment.

Joint Ventures

Joint ventures are consolidated using the full consolidated method. Under this method the investment is initially recognized at cost and is subsequently valued for the cumulative post-acquisition movements in balance sheet assets

and liabilities and adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. The share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of the joint ventures is recognized in the income statement.

Other investments

Other investments concern non listed companies with ownership percentage less than 20% and with absence of control on the voting rights. In accordance with IAS 32 and 39 these investments are disclosed in acquisition cost less provisions for impairments.

4.5.3.7 Inventories

Inventories are disclosed at the lower of their acquisition cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price within the ordinary course of business of the enterprise, minus the estimated cost necessary to make the sale. The cost of inventories is determined using the weighted average method and includes the cost of acquiring inventories and their specific purchase costs (transport, insurance, etc.). Appropriate forecasts are formulated for discarded, useless and slow moving stocks. Write-downs of inventories in net realizable value and other inventory losses are recognized in the income statement in which the write-downs or losses occur.

4.5.3.8 Trade Receivables - Impairment

Trade receivables are initially recognized at fair value, which is at the same time the transaction value. Subsequently, they are valued at their amortized cost less the bad debt provision, which is formed when there is a risk of not collecting all or part of the amount due. The Group's management periodically reassesses the adequacy of the provision for doubtful debts in relation to its credit policy and taking into account the Group's legal service information obtained from the processing of historical data and recent developments of litigations. The amount of the provision for impairment is the difference between the carrying amount of the receivables and the present value of the estimated future cash flows and is included in the period's results. If, in a subsequent period, the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be objectively related to events occurring after the impairment loss has been recognized (for example, improving the borrower's creditworthiness), the reversal of the loss is recognized in profit or loss. The fair value of trade and other receivables approximates the carrying amount.

The trade and other receivables of both the Company and the Group, except those for which a provision has been formed, are considered all collectable.

4.5.3.9 Cash and Cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

4.5.3.10 Statuory Reserves

Legal Reserve: The Company is obliged according to the applicable commercial law 2190/1920 art. 44 and 45 to form as legal reserve of 5% of their annual net profits up to 1/3 of the paid up share capital. This reserve cannot be distributed during the operational life of the company, but can be used to cover loses.

Based on existing Greek tax law, tax exempt reserves under special laws are exempt from income tax, provided that they are not distributed to shareholders. The Group does not intend to distribute these reserves and has thus not provided for the tax liability that would arise in the event that these reserves were to be distributed. Any distribution from these reserves can only occur following the approval of shareholders in a general meeting and after the applicable taxation is paid by the Company.

Tax exempted reserves: These reserves are formed when there are:

Tax exempted Earnings, in accordance with the applicable tax framework in Greece. In case of distribution of these gains these will be taxable at the corporate tax rate in force at the time of distribution to shareholders or converted to equity after the Annual General Meeting of shareholders taking into account the restrictions that may apply every time.

Partially taxed earnings which are taxed at a lower tax rate than the then current rate in Greece. In case of distribution of the gains will be taxable at the corporate tax rate in force at the time of distribution to shareholders or converted to equity after the Annual General Meeting of shareholders taking into account the constraints that may apply each time.

4.5.3.11 Share Capital

All the shares are registered and listed for trading in the Securities Market of the Athens Exchange since 29-9-2000. All shares are ordinary and nominal. The Share capital amounts to € 6.973.052,40 and is divided to 6.456.530 ordinary nominal voting shares of nominal value 1,08 € each and its fully paid up.

4.5.3.12 Revenue and Expense Recognition Revenue:

  • Recognition of contracts with customers.
  • Recognition of the terms of contract execution.
  • Determining the transaction price.
  • Allocation of the transaction price according to the terms of contract execution.
  • Recognition of revenue when the Company fulfills the conditions for performance of the contracts.

Revenue includes sales of goods and services, net of Value Added Tax, Discounts and Refunds. Revenue is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and can be measured reliably. Revenues from technical projects are recognized in the results of the period, depending on the stage of completion of the contractual activity at the date of preparation of the financial statements. Therefore, the cost of projects that have been executed but not invoiced to the customer respectively is recognized in the income statement together with the relevant contract revenue. Intra-group revenues within the Group are completely eliminated.

Interest income: This income is recognized proportionally according to maturity and using the effective rate. Dividends: Dividends are recognized according to the maturity for collection rights.

Expenses are recognized in the income statement on an accrual basis. Payments realized for Operating leases are transferred in the income statement as expenses, during the time of use of the leased element.

4.5.3.13 Grants

Grants are recognized at their fair value when it is probable that the amount of the subsidy will be received and the company has complied or will comply with the terms of the Grant.

State subsidies regarding expenses, are deferred and recognized in the Profit and Loss Statement so as to correspond to the expenses they are designated to indemnify.

4.5.3.14 Financial instruments – Fair Value

The Group and the Company use the following hierarchy to determine and disclose the fair value of financial instruments on a valuation basis:

Level 1: Negotiable (unadjusted) prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities. The fair value of financial assets traded on active financial markets is determined on the basis of the published prices prevailing at the balance sheet date. An "active" money market exists when there are readily available and regularly reviewed prices published by a stock exchange, broker, industry, rating agency or supervising body, which represent real and often repetitive transactions and are made under normal commercial terms.

Level 2: Other techniques for which all inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly. The fair value of financial assets that are not traded on active financial markets (e.g. derivatives contracts outside the derivatives market) is determined using valuation techniques that are mostly based on available information for transactions in active markets while using as few as possible estimates.

Level 3: Techniques using inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value and are not based on observable market data.

Techniques used to measure the financial assets include:

  • Market prices or quotes for similar items.
  • Fair value of commodities hedging transactions, which is determined as the present value of future cash flows (based on available performance trends).

During the year, there were no transfers between levels 1 and 2, nor transfers within or outside level 3, for the measurement of the fair value. The amounts disclosed in the Financial Position Statement with regard to cash, trade receivables, short-term liabilities and short term banking borrowings, approach their corresponding fair values due to their short-term maturity.

The valuation method was determined taking into account all factors to determine accurately the fair value and these items are measured at Level 3 of the hierarchy for determining fair value. There were no changes in valuation techniques used by the Group during the period.

4.5.3.15 Provisions

Provisions, according to IAS 37, are recognized when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Where the Group expects a provision to be reimbursed, for example

under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain.

The Group recognizes a provision for onerous contracts when the expected benefits to be derived from a contract are less than the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract.

Restructuring provisions comprise lease termination penalties and employee termination payments, and are recognized in the period in which the Group becomes legally or constructively committed to payment. Costs related to the ongoing activities of the Group are not provided in advance.

Long-term provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows and taking the risks specific to the liability into account.

4.5.3.16 Borrowings

Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred, in line with IAS 23. In subsequent periods, borrowings are stated at amortized cost using the effective yield method.

4.5.3.17 Employee Benefits

Short-term benefits: Short-term benefits to the employees (apart from the benefits for the termination of the labour relationship) in cash and in goods are recorded for as an expense when they become payable. Any outstanding amount is recorded as a liability, while in the case where the amount already paid exceeds the amount of the benefits; the company records the excess amount as its asset (prepaid expense) only to the extent that the prepayment will lead to the reduction of future payments or to a return.

Benefits after exiting from the service: The benefits comprise defined benefit plans as well as defined contribution plans.

Defined contribution plan: A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity (a fund) and will have no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.

Defined benefit plan: The liability in respect of defined benefit pension or retirement plans, including certain unfunded termination indemnity benefit plans, is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date minus the fair value of plan assets (where funded) together with adjustments for actuarial gains/ losses and past service cost. The defined benefit obligation is calculated at periodic intervals by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates applicable to high quality corporate bonds or government securities which have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related liability.

4.5.3.18 Leases

Determining whether or not a transaction involves a lease is based on the substance of the transaction at the date of the contract, that is, whether the transaction depends on the use of one or more assets or whether the transaction grants rights to use the asset. As of 1.1.2019 the new IFRS 16 "on Leases" applies.

Group as lessee:

Cases of third party leases where the Group does not assume all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset are treated as operating and the leases are recognized as an expense in the statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the lease. The Group's leases under the new IFRS 16, as of 1.1.2019, are treated using retrospective application by adjusting the opening balance of retained earnings to be reclassified without adjusting the comparative amounts of 2018 at the transition date. (note 4.5.3.1).

Group as lessor:

Cases of leases of assets to third parties where the Group does not transfer all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset are treated as operating and the leases are recognized as income in the statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the lease. Initial direct costs incurred by lessors in negotiating an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and are recognized during the lease on the same basis as the lease income. The Company and the Group lease office space. These leases are treated as operating leases.

4.5.3.19 Income Tax & Deferred Tax

Income tax consists of current taxes, deferred taxes, that is, tax charges or rebates related to the economic benefits accruing in the period but which have already been accounted for or will be accounted for by the tax authorities in different periods and the provisions for additional taxes, which may arise from an audit by the tax authorities. Income tax is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income for the period, both that relating to transactions recorded directly in equity and that relating to the period's results. The current income tax relates to the tax on the taxable profits of the companies included in the consolidation as reformed according to the requirements of the tax laws and was calculated on the basis of the applicable tax rates of the countries in which the companies of the

group operate. Deferred income tax is calculated using the liability method in all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax base and the carrying amount of assets and liabilities. The expected tax effects of the temporary tax differences are determined and presented either as deferred tax liabilities or as deferred tax assets. Deferred tax is determined based on the tax rates at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognized for all tax deductible temporary differences and tax losses transferred to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary difference may be utilized. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is unlikely that taxable profits will be available for which part or all of the deferred tax assets may be used.

4.5.3.20 Foreign Currency Transactions

Items included in the financial statements of each entity in the Group are measured in the functional currency, which is the currency of the primary economic environment in which each Group entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Euros, which is the functional, and presentation currency of the Company and the presentation currency of the Group.

Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency re-measurements are reflected in the accompanying statements of income. Gains or losses resulting from transactions are also reflected in the accompanying statements of income. Exchange differences arising from conversion of financial statements in foreign subsidiaries are recognized in equity reserve through the statement of other comprehensive income.

4.5.3.21 Fincancial instruments Financial instruments at fair value

The financial assets and liabilities reflected on the statement of financial position include cash and cash equivalents, trade and other accounts receivable, investments, trade accounts payable, short, and long-term liabilities. These accounts are presented as assets, liabilities or equity components based on the substance and the contents of the related contractual agreements from which they are derived. Interest, dividends, profit o losses which result from financial assets or liabilities are recognized as income or expenses, respectively.

The value at which the Group's financial assets and liabilities are disclosed in the financial statements does not differ from their fair value.

4.5.3.22 Fincancial Risk Management

Financial Risk Factors

The Group's activities give rise to a variety of financial risks, including foreign exchange, interest rate, credit and liquidity risks. The Group's overall risk management program focuses on the volatility of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group as a whole.

Risk management is carried out by the Group's management, which evaluates the risk associated to the Group's activities and functions, and designs the policy by using the appropriate financial tools in order to mitigate the risk. The Group's financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, bank overdrafts, and trade accounts receivable and payable.

Foreign Exchange Risk

The Group's foreign exchange exposure arises from actual or anticipated cash flows (exports/ imports) in currencies other than its base currency. Exposures related to future trade agreements and recognized elements of assets and liabilities are managed through the use of forward exchange contracts when needed. The main transaction currencies are USD and the Euro.

Price Risk

The Group is not exposed to securities price risk. The Group is exposed in risk due to the variations of the value of the goods used for trade and of the raw materials used. In order to face the risk of impairment of inventories, a rationalized warehouse management aims to minimize the stock according to progress of the production needs. The

level of the inventories in relation to the Group's turnover is significantly low. Our goal is to minimize the stock holding time so as to eliminate the risk of impairment.

Interest Rate Risk

The fluctuations in the interest rate markets have a moderate impact on the Group's income and the Group's operating cash flows.

It is the policy of the Group to continuously review interest rate trends and the tenor of financing needs. In this respect, decisions are made on a case by case basis as to the tenor and the fixed versus floating cost of a new loan. Thus, the amount of short-term borrowings is variable. All short-term borrowings are based on floating rates. For medium and long-term loans, both the amounts of loans as well as the interest rates are decreasing. Thus, the interest rate risk exposure is relatively low.

Credit Risk

The Group is not facing significant credit risks. Trade accounts receivable consist mainly of a large, widespread customer base where the predominant position is held by Banking and Public sectors. The Group's Financial Management Department monitors the financial position of their debtors on an ongoing basis.

Each client's credit exposure is monitored by an independent entity, taking into account the client's financial position, the amount of previews transactions and other factors and tests the credit limits granted to the client. The credit limits granted are fixed taking into account internal and external evaluations and are always within the limits approved by the Board of directors.

Appropriate provision for impairment losses is made for specific credit risks. At the end of year 2015 the there is no material credit risk exposure that is not already covered with appropriate doubtful debt provision.

Taking into account the Group's customer base and the relevant liquidity risk, the exposure at the credit risk will be moderate. The post-dated collection of receivables is an important issue but is not related to our customers

credit ability. To minimize this credit risk, the Group operates within an established counterparty policy approved by the Board of Directors, which limits the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution. Also, as regards money market instruments, the Group only deals with well-established financial institutions of high credit standing.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is addressed both by the steady stream of receipts and by providing sufficient cash resources from bank financing (focusing on funding on project basis), which is based on the excellent relationship we have with the largest credit institutions in the country and provides sufficient credit lines to finance our business plans.

In addition, excellent relationships with our suppliers, which are based on long-lasting, reliable and stable relationship, provide us with significant help in trying to smooth cash flow. Capital control restrictions did not materially affect the aforementioned relationships.

Capital Management

The primary objective of the Group's capital management is to ensure that it maintains a strong investment grade credit rating and healthy capital ratios in order to support its operations and maximize shareholder value.

The group's policy is to maintain leverage targets in line with an investment grade profile. The gearing ratio is calculated by dividing the net borrowing with the total capital employed.

Group Company
Amounts in € thousand 30.06.2019 31.12.2018 30.06.2019 31.12.2018

Gearing ratio 52,02% 34,92% 54,40% 38,13%

Significant cash flow to suppliers led operating cash flows to a negative sign in the first half and was covered by both cash and increased lending. This, while largely justifying the increase in the leverage ratio from 34.92% to 52.02%, did not affect the instantaneous liquidity ratio. It is noted that the leverage ratio has historically improved in the second half of the year.

Other operational risk

A reliable internal Control System has been established by the company's management in order to timely identify potential distortions in the company's commercial activities. The insurance coverage against all risks is deemed to be sufficient. The Group and the Company do not expect to face significant short-term risks. The company's expertise, the continuous investment in human resource and the solid infrastructures combined with the development of new products enable the preservation of its competitive advantage and the skill to penetrate in new markets mitigating the risks.

Furthermore, the amount of the ongoing projects together with the ability to adjust to new market conditions allow to believe that the Group will be able to efficiently react to challenging years to come, efficiently and effectively.

Business Long term Risk

The Greek economy continues to follow a path of stabilization and recovery after a decade of recession. The emergence of a stable government reinforces expectations for the future of the Greek economy in the coming period.

Strengthening market confidence was reflected in the decline in Greek bond yields, which marks the gradual smoothing of the country's financing.

The Economic Sentiment Indicator (ESI) in Greece saw a major improvement in August, according to a European Commission survey of businesses and consumers, while the corresponding euro area index registered a slight improvement and that of the European Union deteriorated.

The basis for the growth of the economy in the coming years will be both the re-launch of major investment projects, the implementation of structural changes, the ability to relax certain fiscal targets agreed with international creditors, and the complete liberalization of the restriction on the movement of capital, in combination with reducing over taxation.

As the country's debt remains high, there remains the risk of the economy failing to meet the goals of reducing unemployment and economic growth, which have improved significantly compared to previous years.

In addition, global developments affecting both the US and Great Britain are affecting Europe's overall economic environment in combination with geopolitical risks.

In particular, Turkey's financial crisis in the wider region needs to be evaluated. It is particularly difficult to assess the interactions of all of the above and to express an appreciation of their degree of influence in the Greek business environment. As a result, SPACE has opted for a sensible risk-taking policy that breaks down into different product strategies and geographical areas. More specifically, we are trying to expand our know-how in areas essential for today's event and spread the risk geographically as we expand to overseas markets. The banking system is aiding us in this endeavor through the excellent relationships we maintain. Specifically, the Group's seamless collaboration with financial institutions in combination with the banking system's risk-taking policy allows us to cope with both capital constraints and the continued improvement of relationships with our core suppliers.

From the fiscal year 2011 to the fiscal year 2015, the Greek corporations and the Limited Liability Companies, whose annual financial statements are compulsorily audited, were obliged to receive the "Annual Certificate" provided for in §5 of article 82 of Law 2238 / 1994 and article 65A of Ν4174 / 2014, issued following a tax audit carried out by the statutory auditor or an audit firm that audits the annual financial statements.

From the year 2016 onwards, the tax certificate is optional. Upon completion of the tax audit, the Statutory Auditor or Audit Office issues to the company a "Tax Compliance Report" and the Auditor or audit firm then submits it electronically to the Ministry of Finance, based on POL 1124/2015, as amended by the POL 1108/2017 by the tenth day of the tenth month following the end of the fiscal year.

For the Company and its Greek subsidiaries, and for the years 2011 to 2018, this audit has been completed with the issuance of the relevant Tax Compliance Reports without reservation.

The basic tax rate for Greek limited liability companies for the fiscal year ending 31 December 2018 is the same as for the fiscal year ending 31 December 2017, i.e. 29%. Pursuant to Article 23 of the recent Law 4579, passed in December 2018, tax rates on corporate earnings are gradually reduced by 1% per year, as follows: 28% for the tax year 2019, 27% for the tax year 2020, 26% for the tax year 2021 and 25% for the tax year 2022 onwards. The purpose of the provision is to reduce the tax burden on legal persons and entities, thereby enhancing investment and business competitiveness.

Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for impairment testing purposes. Allocation is made to cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the acquisition from which goodwill originated. The recoverable value of a cash-generating unit is determined using its value in use calculation. This calculation uses cash flow forecasts derived from budgets that have been approved by the management.

Below are the main assumptions adopted by Management in cases where there was a need for impairment, taking into account the specific characteristics:

Discount rate of discount at present value: 3.9%, Growth rate in perpetuity: 2%

An impairment decision is made after an examination of the change in the underlying assumptions and if it is deemed to be material and more than 10% of the carrying amount.

The aforementioned values have been subject to an impairment test the result of which was charged in the results of the period of € 250 thousand and remained as an asset of the company and the Group.

4.6.29 UNDAUDITED FISCAL YEARS BY THE TAX AUTHORITIES

The unaudited fiscal years by the tax authorities for the companies of the Group are as followed:

Company Tax Unaudited Years
SPACE HELLAS (CYPRUS) LTD 2011 – 2018
SPACE HELLAS Doo Beograd-Stari Grad 2012 - 2018
SPACE HELLAS (MALTA) LTD 2012 - 2018

JOINT VENTURE UNISYSTEMS INFORMATION SYSTEMS S.A. (formerly INFO QUEST)– SPACE
HELLAS
2013 - 2018
JOINT-VENTURE SPACE HELLAS - KB IMPULS HELLAS SA 2013 – 2018

For the unaudited tax years of the Group companies, there is the possibility of imposing additional taxes and surcharges at the time of their examination and finalization by the competent tax authorities. The company has formed a cumulative provision of € 61 thousand in order to cover the possibility of imposing additional taxes in the event of an audit by the tax authorities. For the other Group companies, no provision has been made for unaudited tax years as it is estimated that the charge for the imposition of additional taxes will be insignificant.

There is no statutory tax audit system for subsidiaries based abroad. Audits are carried out exceptionally where appropriate by the tax authorities of each country based on specific criteria. Tax liabilities resulting from the submission of the annual tax return remain under audit of the tax authorities for a certain period of time, in accordance with the tax laws of each country.

From the fiscal year 2011 to the fiscal year 2015, the Greek corporations and the Limited Liability Companies, whose annual financial statements are compulsorily audited, were obliged to receive the "Annual Certificate" provided for in §5 of article 82 of Law 2238 / 1994 and article 65A of Ν4174 / 2014, issued following a tax audit carried out by the statutory auditor or an audit firm that audits the annual financial statements. From the year 2016 onwards, the tax certificate is optional. Upon completion of the tax audit, the Statutory Auditor or Audit Office issues to the company a "Tax Compliance Report" and the Auditor or audit firm then submits it electronically to the Ministry of Finance, based on POL 1124/2015, as amended by the POL 1108/2017 by the tenth day of the tenth month following the end of the fiscal year.

For the Company and its Greek subsidiaries, and for the years 2011 to 2018, this audit has been completed with the issuance of the relevant Tax Compliance Reports without reservation.

The Group makes provision when necessary, by case and by company, against possible additional taxes that may be imposed by the tax authorities.

Management estimates that no significant tax liabilities will arise other than those reflected in the financial statements.

4.7 ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES

The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA / 2015 / 1415el) published the final guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures (APMAs) applicable from 3 July 2016 to companies listed in organized exchange systems. ALPs are disclosed by publishers when publishing regulated information and are intended to enhance transparency and promote the usefulness and fair and full information of the investing public.

The Alternative Performance Measurement Score (ALP) is an adjusted economic measurement of historical or future economic performance, financial position or cash flow, other than the economic measurement set out in the applicable financial reporting framework. That is to say, ALP does not rely exclusively on the standards of financial statements, but provides substantial additional information, excluding elements that may differ from operating results or cash flows. Transactions with non-functional or non-cash valuation with a significant effect on the Statement of Comprehensive Income are considered as factors influencing the adjustment of the indicators to EMMA. These non-recurring items, in most cases, could arise, among others, from:

  • impairment of assets
  • Restructuring measures
  • consolidation measures
  • sale of assets or concessions
  • Changes in legislation, Compensation for damages or legal claims.

ALPs should always be taken into account in conjunction with the financial results prepared under IFRSs and should under no circumstances be considered as replacing them. The Group uses the adjusted indicators to better reflect the financial and operating performance that is related to the Group's activity as such in the reference year as well as the corresponding comparable period last year.

The definition, analysis and basis of calculation of the ALPs used by the Group is set out below.

Elements Affecting Adaptation
