2.1.2 FINANCIAL DATA

The Covid-19 pandemic found Greece in a critical transition period, coming out of a deep and prolonged economic crisis and having to manage the serious problems that the latter left behind. The first signs of recovery of the Greek economy from the deep crisis of recent years appeared in the first quarter of 2020 with the economic climate index climbing to the highest levels of the last twelve years. This climate is reversed by the arrival of the new coronavirus

COVID-19, the spread of which was assessed by the World Health Organization as a pandemic. The intense concern for world health from this dangerous disease, its rapid spread, as well as the ever-increasing number of cases and deaths, has forced countries to take drastic measures to limit social practices, which means a corresponding reduction of economic activity on a global scale.

The impact of this constraint was observed in both the Economic Climate Index and the Consumer Confidence Index, which decreased significantly compared to the first quarter of 2020. Nevertheless, the decline in the Domestic Economic Climate Index was milder than in the EU and the EU., while on the contrary, the change in the Consumer Confidence Index was more pronounced than in Europe.

According to a recent report by the International Monetary Fund, the pandemic had a greater negative impact than expected, and the recovery is now projected to be more gradual than previously estimated, predicting a 4.9% recession this year for the global economy and growth 5, 4% in 2021. In the euro area, GDP is estimated to initially decrease by 10.2% in 2020 and then to recover by 6.0% in 2021.

Governments around the world have reacted swiftly to prevent the worst of the effects of the pandemic and the economic consequences mainly of lockdown, with unprecedented fiscal measures to support income business, household and the economy's liquidity.

In addition, central banks and oversight bodies have globally streamlined banks' capital requirements, as well as unprecedented measures to support the liquidity of government, banks and businesses, while the European Commission and the European Council have initially approved a package of measures € 540 and set up a Recovery Fund entitled "Next Generation EU (NGEU)" to cover the increased costs of health care and support for employees and businesses.

Greece reacted on time with the outbreak of the pandemic, in both health and economic sectors, resulting in one of the best performances in Europe in reducing the spread of the virus in the population, while to limit the effects of the pandemic on the Greek economy, the Government, despite budget constraints, has managed to meet its fiscal commitments for 2020 and 2021. Programs have been implemented and implemented to support incomes, household, businesses and the economy's liquidity. In parallel with its successful presence in the European Council negotiations, Greece secured an aid package of approximately € 70 billion, € 32 billion from the NGEU and € 38 billion from the MFF.

The fact that we are already at the first stage of a second round of the pandemic, which may intensify in the winter and we are not yet sure about the timing of the widespread availability of effective vaccines and drugs, creates new negative social and economic conditions for the immediate future and prospects, as well as significant risks and uncertainties, at least in the short term.

The Space Hellas group implements strict measures to reduce the potential threat from Covid-19, setting as an absolute priority the safety of employees and its uninterrupted operation. To date, the Group remains fullyoperational in all areas of its activity, taking all necessary measures to maintain high liquidity and profitability, remaining committed to the optimal utilization of its funds, with the aim of further organic development and ensuring its business continuity. It is estimated that at this stage, there is no significant impact on its fundamentals as well as on its financial situation. However, uncertainty still exists, and therefore we will constantly review the data and provide further information whenever necessary.

The position of the Group as a leading System Integrator and Value Added Solutions Provider in the field of telecommunications, information technology and security, allows enables it to respond immediately to these difficult times and to implement, as far as possible, its plan for the smooth operation of its activities.

The group's effort to be competitive is continuous and is essentially based on the know-how, skills and dedication of its people, as well as the ongoing investments made during the crisis.

The activities of the company were in accordance with the current legislation and its purposes as defined in its articles of association.

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 issuers in the publication of 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 (APMs) 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.

APMs should always be taken into account in conjunction with the financial results prepared under IFRSs and in no case should it be considered as a substitute.

The Group uses the Custom Indicators (APMs) to illustrate better the financial and operating performance associated with the Group's activity as it stands during the reporting year as well as the corresponding previous comparable period.

The implementation of traffic restrictions, teleworking, and the closure of

several companies have left a significant negative impact on the economic activity and growth prospects despite short-term financial measures to support entrepreneurship and job retention. The telecommunications, IT and security sectors are among those that have shown significant resilience during the restrictive measures as there has been an explosive increase in the use of digital media, entertainment, information, e-shopping, data handling, payments and other transactions.

Furthermore, continuously adaptive to the new business environment, our structures together with the significant amount of ongoing projects allow 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, 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,

rationalized warehouse management aims to minimize the stock according to the progress of the production needs. We aim 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' operating cash flows

It is the Group's policy to continually monitor interest rate trends and the level of financing needs. In this respect, decisions, about the duration as well as, the relationship between fixed and floating costs of a new loan are made on a case-by-case basis. 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.

The period we are going through is characterised as a period of zero and negative interest rates. Recently, the U.S.A. sided with this policy with continuous interest rate cuts.

Thus, careful monitoring and interest risk management decrease the risk of significant impact on profits due to short-term fluctuations.

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 unfavourable 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 has been decreased. In addition, the current legislation favours 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. Regarding the effect of the coronavirus, the Group's estimates are reported below in a special paragraph of chapter 2.5

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.

The table below summarizes the maturity profile of financial liabilities for the 30.6.2020 and 31.12.2019, respectively.

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 30.06.2020 31.12.2019 30.06.2020 31.12.2019

Gearing ratio 53,28% 32,54% 54,93% 36,13%

The increase in leverage is due both to the continuous growth of the company which inevitably affects long-term borrowing and to the increase in turnover with integration projects of longer maturity that affect the increased customer balances at the expense of cash. This is a phenomenon that occurs in our company every six months and then normalizes at the end of each year as cost and pricing flow converge, especially as a reference to maintenance contracts.

Risk of COVID-19 spread

The fact that we are already in the first stage of a second round of the pandemic, which may intensify in the winter and we are not yet sure about the timing of the availability of effective vaccines and drugs, creates new negative, social and economic conditions for the near future and its prospects as well as significant risks and uncertainties, at least in the short term.

Governments around the world have reacted swiftly to prevent the worst of the effects of the pandemic and the economic impact of the lock-down, by taking fiscal measures to support liquidity, businesses and household income.

In addition, central banks and regulators have globally streamlined banks' capital requirements, as well as taking unprecedented measures to support the liquidity of the State, banks and businesses.

Nevertheless, the global recession is estimated to be large for 2020 (between 4% -5%), while in Greece it is estimated that the recession will be between -7% and -10%, while there is great uncertainty about the speed and pace of economic recovery in 2021.

Space Hellas group, in the context of its obligation to disclose information (market disclosure), considers that at this stage there is no significant impact on its fundamental figures as well as on its financial situation. Uncertainty, however, persists and we will therefore continually review the data and provide further information whenever necessary.

In particular, most of the group's activity is carried out with large and medium-sized customers operating in industries with different, in terms of demand for IT products and network equipment, the possible impact from Covid-19, taking into account that due to the current situation needs for communication and interoperability have instead increased. The group and the company equally evaluate the ability to respond to both potential increased demand and reduced lead-time to meet increased maintenance and / or infrastructure improvement needs in response to the collective effort to address the pandemic, given that in many cases electronic Communications are the only means of operation and communication and as such are given priority.

Following the above, the Group is closely monitoring the developments regarding the spread of the COVID-19 corona, its position as a leading System Integrator and Value Added Solutions Provider in the field of telecommunications, IT and security give it the opportunity to respond Immediately in these difficult times and implement, as far as possible, its plan for the smooth operation of its activities, always in compliance with applicable law and obligations as required by the official instructions of competent authorities at the national level.

In this context, it takes precautionary measures for the safety of employees, which at this stage is an absolute priority, has established and maintains clear internal and external protocols for regular and urgent communication with employees and other key stakeholders.

Business travel outside Greece have stopped since the beginning of March and have been kept to a minimum within Greece, and high-tech systems are being used for remote work (teleworking). Additional human resource planning has also been put in place for staff performing critical operations for operational continuity in order to minimize the risk of downtime and ensure operational continuity.

The following additional actions have also been taken:

  • back-up arrangements in case employees who are responsible for health and safety are unable to perform their roles.
  • Special arrangements for employees belonging to vulnerable groups.
  • Establishing policies for the self-isolation of staff.
  • Establish procedures that require staff to report symptoms or absences, and report possible infection or exposure to the virus (including private travel to high-risk areas) or concerns about others they may have come to workplace contact.
  • Practices of regular disinfection in all workplaces.
  • providing staff with appropriate personal protective equipment.

Finally, the company is actively involved in actions that are part of the national effort to address the pandemic.

In addition to the ongoing management of operational risk due to the Covid-19 pandemic, an increased monitoring system was put in place to protect the group's financial position.

  • The investment plan for the year 2020 has been carefully re-evaluated and will be re-evaluated according to the developments of the current situation.
  • A new cost reduction program was designed and implemented in areas where the company's functionality is not significantly affected.

The Group maintains a restrained attitude regarding the timing of the execution of the projects it has already undertaken or will undertake during the year, as in addition to any other unforeseen factors, the spread of the coronavirus in Greece may affect the domestic IT market due to possible delays in the acquisition of equipment from abroad, as well as because some business groups may delay the launch of their investment projects on the technology front for some time and may affect the speed of government mechanisms in promoting public works.

The above are important mitigating factors of the risk involved in the uncertainty for the development of the situation but also maintaining the competitive position of the group in each of its areas of activity. The above planning resulted in the reduction of the potential financial impact on the results so far.

Any further implications will depend, to a large extent, on future developments.

Despite the problems that the coronavirus can cause in the IT market, there are individual activities in the industry that may be positively affected as the current conditions will change the way companies, organizations and working groups operate and will create a wider culture of fewer personal contacts and more remote communications. This is likely to create a culture of more sustainable technology solutions, especially for cloud-based services that Space Hellas is already ready to offer.

The specific circumstances we are experiencing clearly affect, at least in the short term, the economic environment and lead us to assess whether we have a significant increase in credit risk (SICR). The nature of the effects of the economic shock is considered temporary and in combination with the impact of the support and relief measures taken by the government, lead us to conclude that these countervailing forces are being offset.

Using past information and more specifically, the crisis of 2015 in our country, we can say that the increase in credit risk did not affect our company significantly as credit risk management policies worked satisfactorily. The management of the company estimates that at present, there is no need to change the data that affect IFRS 9 and consequently increase the credit risk.

However, given that the phenomenon continues to be in full development, and although we do not see today a significant impact on the fundamental size of the group, its quantitative and qualitative consequences on the operation of the group and the company cannot be estimated at present. More estimates that are reliable will be presented in the Annual Financial Statements.

2.6 GOING CONCERN

The management of the Group considers that the Company and the Group have sufficient resources that ensure the smooth continuation of their operation as a Going Concern in the foreseeable future.

On 26-05-2020, Space Hellas announces the conclusion of an agreement for the investment in "Agricultural Applications PC." with the company name "Agro Apps PC", which is based in Thessaloniki. AgroApps was founded in 2015, with the aim to offer digital solutions for the agricultural sector. Since its inception, AgroApps has invested in the research and development of solutions based on Artificial Intelligence technologies, satellite and meteorological data, advanced mathematical models and crop development models.

If the third stage will be implemented, the total amount of Space Hellas' investment will rise to 45% in AgroApps and will amount to € 1,275,000.

Given the spread of the coronavirus, it is difficult to predict the range of potential effects on the global economy at this point. The results can range from successful virus control and small short-term effects to a prolonged impact that can lead to recession. In addition, governments are implementing policies and fiscal actions aimed at mitigating

potential negative economic impacts. However, the future impact must be assessed in light of the accounting basis used to prepare these Financial Statements. Regarding the activities of the Group, the Management closely monitors the developments since the outbreak of the pandemic, follows the guidance of the local health authorities and observes the requirements and actions implemented by the authorities. The Group has implemented emergency plans to limit the potential adverse effects on the Group's employees and businesses.

Following the clarifications provided in the above relevant paragraphs for the spread of the coronavirus, which is a non-adjusting event, there are no events subsequent to the financial statements that concern either the Group or the company and in which a reference to International Financial Reporting Standards is required.

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 separate and consolidated statement of financial position of "SPACE HELLAS S.A." as at 30 June 2020 and the related 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 (ISRE) 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing 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 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, 2017, 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 «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 preparing 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 the 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

The following new Standards, Interpretations and amendments to Standards have been adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), have been adopted by the European Union and are mandatory from 01/01/2020 onwards.

Revision of the Conceptual Framework of the Financial Report (applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 01/01/2020). In March 2018, the IASB reviewed the Conceptual Framework of the Financial Report, the purpose of which was to integrate issues, which were not covered, as well as updating and clarifying specific guidance. The revised Financial Reporting Conceptual Framework includes a new chapter on measurement, which analyzes the concept of measurement, including factors to consider when selecting a measurement basis, issues related to presentation and disclosure in the Financial Statements and guidance. Regarding the recognition of assets and liabilities from the Financial Statements. Furthermore, the revised Financial Reporting Conceptual Framework includes improved definitions of assets and liabilities, guidance to assist in the application of these definitions, updating of criteria for the recognition of assets and liabilities, as well as clarifications on areas such as the roles of management, conservatism and uncertainty when measuring financial information. The amendments have no effect on the Group's and Company's Financial Statements.

Amendments to the Reports of the Conceptual Framework of the Financial Report (applies for annual periods beginning on or after 01/01/2020). In March 2018, the IASB issued Amendments to the References of the Conceptual Framework of the Financial Report, following its revision. Some Standards include explicit references to earlier versions of the Financial Reporting Conceptual Framework. The purpose of these amendments is to update the above reports and support the transition to the revised Conceptual Framework of the Financial Report. The amendments have no effect on the Group's and Company's Financial Statements.

Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8: "Definition of Essential" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 01/01/2020). In October 2018, the IASB issued amendments to the definition of material to make it easier for companies to make a judgment on materiality. The definition of material helps companies decide what information

should be included in their Financial Statements. The new definition amends IAS 1 and IAS 8. The amendments clarify the definition of materiality and how it should be applied, including guidance that has previously been included in other Standards. The amendments have no effect on the Group's and Company's Financial Statements.

Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7: "Interest Rate Reference Point Reform" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 01/01/2020). In September 2019, the IASB issued amendments to certain requirements of specific hedge accounting operations in order to mitigate any effects arising from the uncertainty arising from the reform of the Interest Rate Benchmark. The amendments were designed to support the provision of useful financial information by companies during the period of uncertainty resulting from the phasing out of interest rate benchmarks, such as interbank rates. In addition, companies are required to provide additional information to investors regarding hedging relationships that are directly affected by these uncertainty conditions. The amendments have no effect on the Group's and Company's Financial Statements.

Amendments to IFRS 3: "Definition of a Business" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 01/01/2020).

In October 2018, the IASB issued limited-purpose amendments to IFRS 3 to improve the definition of a business. The amendments will help companies determine whether an acquisition is a business combination or an acquisition of assets. The amended definition indicates that the outflow of a business is to provide goods and services to customers, while the previous definition focused on returns in the form of dividends, lower costs or other financial benefits to investors and third parties. In addition to amending the definition of an enterprise, the IASB provides additional guidance through this version. The amendments have no effect on the Group's and Company's Financial Statements.

New Standards, Interpretations, Revisions and Amendments to Existing Standards which have not yet entered into force or have been adopted by the European Union.

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 not been adopted by the European Union.

Amendments to IFRS 16 "Leases" Related to Covid-19 Lease Concessions (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 01/06/2020). In May 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 16 which allow lesses not to assess whether a Covid-19 lease is classified as a lease amendment. More specifically, the amendments clarify that in the event that certain conditions are met, lessees are not required to assess whether specific leases related to Covid-19 constitute lease amendments. Instead, lessees applying this practice will adopt an accounting treatment for these leases as non-lease amendments. The above applies to lease concessions related to Covid-19, which reduce lease payments due on or before June 30, 2021. The Group will consider the impact of all of the above on its Financial Statements, although it is not expected to have none. European Union has not adopted the above.

Amendments to IFRS 4 "Insurance Contracts" - deferral of IFRS 9 (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 01/01/2021). In June 2020, the IASB issued amendments amending the date of initial application of IFRS 17 for two years, ie it will apply for annual periods beginning on or after the Semi-Annual Financial Report for the period 55 from 1 January to 30 June 2020 on 1 January 2023. As a result, the IASB has also extended the set deadline for the temporary exemption from the application of IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" contained in IFRS 4 "Insurance Contracts", resulting in entities are required to apply IFRS 9 for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023. The Group does not expect any impact on its Financial Statements. European Union has not adopted the above.

Amendments to IAS 1 "Classification of Liabilities as Short-Term or Long-Term" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 01/01/2022). In January 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 that affect the presentation requirements. In particular, the amendments clarify one of the criteria for classifying a liability as longterm, 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: (a) clarification that an entity's right to defer settlement should exist at the reporting date; (b) clarification that the liability classification is not affected by management 's intentions or expectations regarding the exercise of the deferral (c) explain how lending conditions affect the classification; and (d) clarify the requirements relating to the classification of liabilities of an entity that it is or is likely to settle through the issue of its own equity instruments. The Group will consider the impact of all of the above on its Financial Statements, although they are not expected to have any. European Union has not adopted the above.

Amendments to IFRS 3 "Business Combinations", IAS 16 "Property, Plant and Equipment", IAS 37 "Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets" and "Annual Improvements 2018 - 2020" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after (01/01/2022) In May 2020, the IASB issued a series of amendments, including limited-purpose amendments to three Standards, as well as the Council's Annual Improvements. These amendments provide

clarification regarding the wording of the Standards or correct minor consequences, omissions or inconsistencies between the requirements of the Standards. More specifically:

  • Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Mergers update a reference to IFRS 3 in the Conceptual Framework of the Financial Reporting without amending the accounting requirements relating to business combinations.
  • Amendments to IAS 16 "Property, Plant and Equipment" prohibit a company from deducting from the cost of fixed assets amounts received from the sale of items produced during the preparation of such fixed assets to be ready for use. Instead, the company recognizes these sales revenues and related costs in the Income Statement.
  • Amendments to IAS 37 "Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets" determine the costs that a company should include when assessing whether a contract is loss-making.
  • The Annual Improvements of IFRS Cycle 2018-2020 make minor amendments to IFRS 1 "First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards", IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments", IAS 41 "Agriculture" 16 "Leases". The Group will consider the impact of all of the above on its Financial Statements, although they are not expected to have any. European Union has not adopted the above.

IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 01/01/2023). In May 2017, the IASB issued a new Standard, IFRS 17, which replaces an intermediate Standard, IFRS 4. The purpose of the IASB project was to develop a single principle-based standard for accounting for all types of insurance contracts, including reinsurance contracts held by an insurance company. A single principle-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 financial information related to the insurance contracts it issues and its reinsurance contracts. In addition, in June 2020, the IASB issued amendments, which, however, do not affect the fundamental principles introduced when IFRS 17 was first adopted. The amendments are designed to reduce costs by simplifying certain requirements of the Standard, facilitate the transition, as well as facilitate the transition by postponing the date of application of the Standard for 2023, while providing additional assistance to reduce the effort required during the first application of the Standard. The Group does not expect to have any impact on its Financial Statements. European Union has not adopted the above.

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 of 31 December 2019.

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 30.06.2020 based on a valuation performed by independent evaluators.

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 recognise 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
Buildings and buildings installations in third parties 12
Plant and machinery 16
Plant and machinery Leased 10
Furniture 16
Fittings 10
Office equipment 10
Telecommunication equipment 10
Other equipment 10
Electronics equipment 5
Cars 5
Trucks 10
Other means of transportation 5
Intangible assets (software acquired/internally generated) 5

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 onehalf of the voting rights or otherwise has the 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 the 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 the 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 Statutory Reserves

Legal Reserve: the company is obliged according to the applicable commercial law 2190/1920 art. 44 and 45 to form as the 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 into 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:

The Group and the Company recognize income, excluding interest income, dividends and any other source arising from financial instruments (which are recognized under IFRS 9), to the extent that they reflect the price the Company is entitled to from the transfer of goods and services based on a five-step approach:

  • 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 fulfils 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 Research and Development expenses

Continuous progress is an integral part of the Group's role as the market is characterized by rapidly evolving technology. Many software products are based on proprietary technologies. The Group is investing significant resources in the R&D sector to develop innovative products so that it can meet the requirements of its customers, but also be able to compete effectively in the markets.

4.5.3.14 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.

4.5.3.15 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 (eg 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 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 the fair value accurately 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.

4.5.3.16 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 risks specific to the liability into account.

4.5.3.17 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.

4.5.3.18 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.

4.5.3.19 Leases

Leases in which virtually all property risks and benefits are retained by owners are classified as operating leases. Other leases are classified as finance leases. Rent payments based on operating leases are recorded in the costs based on the fixed method during the lease. Assets held on the basis of financial leases are recorded as assets of the company, appraised at the time of the lease, at their fair value or if they are less than the present value of the minimum rents payable. The relevant obligation to the lessor is recorded in the balance sheet as an obligation from a financial lease. The leased payments are divided into financial expenses and payment of an obligation in a way that gives a fixed interest rate on the remaining balance of the obligation. The financial expense is recorded in the expenses if it is directly related to an asset. Receipts resulting from operating leases are recorded as income based on the fixed method during the lease. Amounts due by tenants based on financial leases are recorded as receivables equal to the net investment in the lease. Relevant revenue is recorded in the results in a way that gives a stable, over time, return on the company's unpaid net investment.

4.5.3.20 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 related 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 on the basis of 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 temporary deductible 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.

4.5.3.21 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.

4.5.3.22 Financial 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 and 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.

4.5.3.23 Financial Risk Management

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, 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.

In the table below, there is a sensitivity analysis of the earnings before taxes due to currency exchange rate changes:

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, rationalized warehouse management aims to minimize the stock according to the progress of the production needs. We aim 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' operating cash flows

It is the Group's policy to continually monitor interest rate trends and the level of financing needs.

In this respect, decisions, about the duration as well as, the relationship between fixed and floating costs of a new loan are made on a case-by-case basis. 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.

The period we are going through is characterised as a period of zero and negative interest rates. Recently, the U.S.A. sided with this policy with continuous interest rate cuts.

Thus, careful monitoring and interest risk management decrease the risk of significant impact on profits due to short-term fluctuations.

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 unfavourable 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 favours 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. Regarding the effect of the coronavirus, the Group's estimates are reported below in a special paragraph of chapter 2.5

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.

Gearing ratio 53,28% 32,54% 54,93% 36,13%

The increase in leverage is due both to the continuous growth of the company which inevitably affects long-term borrowing and to the increase in turnover with integration projects of longer maturity that affect the increased customer balances at the expense of cash. This is a phenomenon that occurs in our company every six months and then normalizes at the end of each year as cost and pricing flow converge, especially as a reference to maintenance contracts.

Risk of COVID-19 spread

The fact that we are already in the first stage of a second round of the pandemic, which may intensify in the winter and we are not yet sure about the timing of the availability of effective vaccines and drugs, creates new negative, social and economic conditions for the near future and its prospects as well as significant risks and uncertainties, at least in the short term.

Governments around the world have reacted swiftly to prevent the worst of the effects of the pandemic and the economic impact of the lock-down, by taking fiscal measures to support liquidity, businesses and household income.

In addition, central banks and regulators have globally streamlined banks' capital requirements, as well as taking unprecedented measures to support the liquidity of the State, banks and businesses.

Nevertheless, the global recession is estimated to be large for 2020 (between 4% -5%), while in Greece it is estimated that the recession will be between -7% and -10%, while there is great uncertainty about the speed and pace of economic recovery in 2021.

Space Hellas group, in the context of its obligation to disclose information (market disclosure), considers that at this stage there is no significant impact on its fundamental figures as well as on its financial situation. Uncertainty, however, persists and we will therefore continually review the data and provide further information whenever necessary.

In particular, most of the group's activity is carried out with large and medium-sized customers operating in industries with different, in terms of demand for IT products and network equipment, the possible impact from Covid-19, taking into account that due to the current situation needs for communication and interoperability have instead increased. The group and the company equally evaluate the ability to respond to both potential increased demand and reduced lead-time to meet increased maintenance and / or infrastructure improvement needs in response to the collective effort to address the pandemic, given that in many cases electronic Communications are the only means of operation and communication and as such are given priority.

Following the above, the Group is closely monitoring the developments regarding the spread of the COVID-19 corona, its position as a leading System Integrator and Value Added Solutions Provider in the field of telecommunications, IT and security give it the opportunity to respond Immediately in these difficult times and implement, as far as possible, its plan for the smooth operation of its activities, always in compliance with applicable law and obligations as required by the official instructions of competent authorities at the national level.

In this context, it takes precautionary measures for the safety of employees, which at this stage is an absolute priority, has established and maintains clear internal and external protocols for regular and urgent communication with employees and other key stakeholders.

Business travel outside Greece have stopped since the beginning of March and have been kept to a minimum within Greece, and high-tech systems are being used for remote work (teleworking). Additional human resource planning

has also been put in place for staff performing critical operations for operational continuity in order to minimize the risk of downtime and ensure operational continuity.

The following additional actions have also been taken:

  • back-up arrangements in case employees who are responsible for health and safety are unable to perform their roles.
  • Special arrangements for employees belonging to vulnerable groups.
  • Establishing policies for the self-isolation of staff.
  • Establish procedures that require staff to report symptoms or absences, and report possible infection or exposure to the virus (including private travel to high-risk areas) or concerns about others they may have come to workplace contact.
  • Practices of regular disinfection in all workplaces.
  • providing staff with appropriate personal protective equipment.

Finally, the company is actively involved in actions that are part of the national effort to address the pandemic.

In addition to the ongoing management of operational risk due to the Covid-19 pandemic, an increased monitoring system was put in place to protect the group's financial position.

  • The investment plan for the year 2020 has been carefully re-evaluated and will be re-evaluated according to the developments of the current situation.
  • A new cost reduction program was designed and implemented in areas where the company's functionality is not significantly affected.

The Group maintains a restrained attitude regarding the timing of the execution of the projects it has already undertaken or will undertake during the year, as in addition to any other unforeseen factors, the spread of the coronavirus in Greece may affect the domestic IT market due to possible delays in the acquisition of equipment from abroad, as well as because some business groups may delay the launch of their investment projects on the technology front for some time and may affect the speed of government mechanisms in promoting public works.

The above are important mitigating factors of the risk involved in the uncertainty for the development of the situation but also maintaining the competitive position of the group in each of its areas of activity.

The above planning resulted in the reduction of the potential financial impact on the results so far.

Any further implications will depend, to a large extent, on future developments.

Despite the problems that the coronavirus can cause in the IT market, there are individual activities in the industry that may be positively affected as the current conditions will change the way companies, organizations and working groups operate and will create a wider culture of fewer personal contacts and more remote communications. This is likely to create a culture of more sustainable technology solutions, especially for cloud-based services that Space Hellas is already ready to offer.

The specific circumstances we are experiencing clearly affect, at least in the short term, the economic environment and lead us to assess whether we have a significant increase in credit risk (SICR). The nature of the effects of the economic shock is considered temporary and in combination with the impact of the support and relief measures taken by the government, lead us to conclude that these countervailing forces are being offset.

Using past information and more specifically, the crisis of 2015 in our country, we can say that the increase in credit risk did not affect our company significantly as credit risk management policies worked satisfactorily. The management of the company estimates that at present, there is no need to change the data that affect IFRS 9 and consequently increase the credit risk.

However, given that the phenomenon continues to be in full development, and although we do not see today a significant impact on the fundamental size of the group, its quantitative and qualitative consequences on the operation of the group and the company cannot be estimated at present. More estimates that are reliable will be presented in the Annual Financial Statements.

Other operational risk

The Management of the company has in place a reliable system of internal control for the detection of malfunctions and exceptions in the context of its commercial operations. Insurance coverage for property and other risks is considered adequate. The Group and the Company will not face significant risks in the short term in general. The specialized know-how of the company and the group, the continuous investment in highly specialized human resources and the strong infrastructure in combination with the development of new products help and support the Group so that it is constantly competitive and penetrates new markets, reducing its risks from the competition.

Goodwill is subject to impairment testing when there is evidence of impairment and is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. At each balance sheet date, the Group conducts an analysis to assess whether the carrying amount of goodwill is recoverable.

  • the amount of € 428 thousand comes from the acquisition of the remaining 50% of the 29/6/2007 after the absorption of the subsidiary "SPACEPHONE SA".
  • the amount of € 169 thousand comes from the acquisition of 100% of our 15/10/2012 subsidiary "SPACE TECHNICAL CONSTRUCTION BUILDING SA."

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.

The fair value of customer receivables approximates the book value. Receivables from customers of both the company and the Group, except for those for which a provision has been made, are all considered receivable.

In the context of working capital management, the Group uses receivables agency services (factoring) for the most timely collection of receivables from its customers in Greece.

The specific conditions we are experiencing clearly affect, at least in the short term, the economic environment and lead us to assess whether we have a significant increase in credit risk (SICR). The nature of the effects of the economic shock is considered temporary and, combined with the impact of government support and relief measures, lead us to conclude that these counterbalanced forces are offset.

Using past information and more specifically, the crisis of 2015 in our country, we can say that the increase in credit risk did not significantly affect our company as credit risk management policies worked satisfactorily.

The management estimates that at this time, there is no need to change the data affecting IFRS 9 and consequently, the increase in credit risk.

4.6.24 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

The financial assets measured by the Group and the Company, at the fair value as of the balance sheet date are classified under the following levels, in accordance with the method used for determining their fair value:

Level 1: for assets traded in an active market and whose fair value is determined by the market prices (unadjusted) of similar assets.

Level 2: for assets whose fair value is determined by factors related to market data, either directly (prices) or indirectly (prices derivatives).

Level 3: for assets whose fair value is not determined by observations from the market, but is mainly based on internal estimates.

During the period, there were no transfers between Levels 1 and 2, nor transfers within and outside Level 3 for the measurement of fair value. The amounts presented in the Financial Statements for cash, trade and other receivables, trade and other short-term liabilities and Bank short-term liabilities approximate their respective fair values due to their short-term maturity.

The method used for the fair value measurement considers all possible parameters in order to approximate the fair value, and the financial assets are classified at level 3 except for banking loans classified a level 2.

4.6.30 UNAUDITED FISCAL YEARS BY THE TAX AUTHORITIES

Company Tax Unaudited Years
SPACE HELLAS (CYPRUS) LTD 2011 – 2019
SPACE HELLAS Doo Beograd-Stari Grad 2012 - 2019
SPACE HELLAS (MALTA) LTD 2012 - 2019
SPACE HELLAS INTEGRATOR SRL 2010 - 2019
SPACE ARAB LEVANT TECHNOLOGIES LLC 2017 - 2019

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.

It is noted that, for the companies that are subject to the Greek tax jurisdiction, the tax years 2013 and previous, have been permanently barred.

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 submit 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.

There is an ongoing tax audit of the company for the year 2019 by statutory auditors, from which no significant additional charges are expected to arise.

The Group forms a 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.

4.6.31 CONTINGENT EVENTS

4.6.31.1 Commitments -Guarantees

The Group has contingent liabilities in respect of banks, other guarantees and other matters arising in the ordinary course of business. No substantial charges are expected to arise from contingent liabilities. No additional payments are expected after the date of preparation of these financial statements.

The contingent liabilities for letters of guarantee for the Company and the Group in the ordinary course of business are:

As at 30.06.2020 and 31.12.2019 there were no outstanding letters of guarantee issued in favour of subsidiaries.

4.6.31.2 Excess clause provisions and Disputed claims

There are no cases (note. 4.6.29) that might have a significant impact on the financial position both of the Group and the Company.

4.6.31.3 Other contingent liabilities

The tax framework and tax practices in Greece, which determine the tax base for the transactions of Group companies, may give rise to uncertainties inherent in their complexity and the fact that they are subject to changes and alternative interpretations by the competent authorities at different times. Therefore, there may be categories of costs or handling of various issues for which a company may have evaluated on a different basis from that applied during the preparation of the tax returns or the preparation of the financial statements. It is customary for tax inspections to be carried out by Tax Authorities, on average 5-7 years after filing the tax return. All of this leads to inherent difficulties in identifying and accounting for tax liabilities. As a result, the management aims to define its policy based on the legislation available at the time of accounting for a transaction, by obtaining specialized legal and tax advice

For the unaudited tax years of the Group companies, as mentioned in note 4.6.28, 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.

4.6.31.4 Capital commitments

As at 30.06.2020 there were no capital commitments for the Group and the Company.

4.7 ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES (APMS)

The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA / 2015 / 1415el) published the final guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures (APMs) applicable from 3 July 2016 to companies listed in organized exchange systems. 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 (APMs) 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, APMs 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, damages 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.

4.8 SIGNIFICANT POST-BALANCE SHEET EVENTS

On 26-05-2020, Space Hellas announces the conclusion of an agreement for the investment in "Agricultural Applications PC." with the company name "Agro Apps PC", which is based in Thessaloniki.

Given the spread of the coronavirus, it is difficult to predict the range of potential effects on the global economy at this point. The results can range from successful virus control and small short-term effects to a prolonged impact that can lead to recession. In addition, governments are implementing policies and fiscal actions aimed at mitigating potential negative economic impacts. However, the future impact must be assessed in light of the accounting basis used to prepare these Financial Statements. Regarding the activities of the Group, the Management closely monitors the developments since the outbreak of the pandemic, follows the guidance of the local health authorities and observes the requirements and actions implemented by the authorities. The Group has implemented emergency plans to limit the potential adverse effects on the Group's employees and businesses.

Following the clarifications provided in the above relevant paragraphs for the spread of the coronavirus, which is a non-adjusting event, there are no events subsequent to the financial statements that concern either the Group or the company and in which a reference to International Financial Reporting Standards is required.
