ΙΙ. AUDIT REPORT BY INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED AUDITOR ACCOUNTANT

To the Shareholders of TERNA ENERGY SOCIETE ANONYME COMMERCIAL TECHNICAL COMPANY S.A.

Report on the Audit of the Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying separate and consolidated financial statements of TERNA ENERGY SOCIETE ANONYME COMMERCIAL TECHNICAL COMPANY S.A., which comprise the separate and consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2016, and the separate and consolidated statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management's Responsibility for the Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these separate and consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the European Union, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of separate and consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these separate and consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing which have been transposed into Greek Law (GG/B'/2848/23.10.2012). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the separate and consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the separate and consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the separate and consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the separate and consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the separate and consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the accompanying separate and consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of TERNA ENERGY SOCIETE ANONYME COMMERCIAL TECHNICAL COMPANY S.A. and its subsidiaries as at December 31, 2016, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the European Union.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

Taking into consideration, that management is responsibility for the preparation of the Board of Directors' report and Corporate Governance Statement that is included to this report according to provisions of paragraph 5, article 2 of Law 4336/2015 (part B), we note the following:

  • a) In the Board of Directors' report is included the Corporate Governance Statement that contains the information that is required by article 43bb of Codified Law 2190/1920.
  • b) In our opinion, the Board of Directors' report has been prepared in accordance with the legal requirements of articles 43a and 107A and paragraph 1 (c and d) of article 43bb of Codified Law 2190/1920 and the content of the Board of Directors' report is consistent with the accompanying financial statements for the year ended 31/12/2016.
  • Based on the knowledge we obtained from our audit for the company TERNA ENERGY SOCIETE ANONYME COMMERCIAL TECHNICAL COMPANY S.A. and its environment, we have not identified any material misstatements in the Board of Directors' report.

ΙΙΙ. ANNUAL MANAGEMENT REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR FINANCIAL YEAR 2016

Dear Shareholders,

According to the provisions of C.L. 2190/1920 (article 43α par.3, article 107 par. 3 and article 136, par.2) as well as L. 3556/2007 article 4 par. 2(c), 6, 7 & 8 and the decision issued by the Hellenic Capital Market Commission under No. 7/448/11‐10‐2007 article 2 and the Company's Articles of Association, we hereby submit the annual management report by the Board of Directors for the present financial year from 01/01/2016 to 31/12/2016, which includes the audited company and consolidated financial statements, the notes on the financial statements and the audit report by the certified auditors – accountants.

Α. Financial Developments & Performance for the Reporting Period

The crisis of the Greek economy continued in 2016, resulting in the preservation of the restrictions on capital transfers leading to the further reduction of liquidity, which is a prerequisite for the support of business growth and the recovery of the economy. In spite of the aforementioned crisis and in view of the confidence that the RES sector will continue to be a top investment selection both in Greece and abroad, TERNA ENERGY continued the implementation of its business plan by executing its investment program with new RES plants in Greece and the USA.

The careful selection of the investments that the Company undertakes to implement, tracks the strategy of the Management for expansion of its investment portfolio and diversification of its business risk in order to ensure the required duration and balance of the Company's development path and preserve the interests of its shareholders over time.

In the context of this strategy, the company has already set in operation 738 MW in Greece and abroad. Specifically, the company has already installed 468 MW in Greece, 138 MW in the USA, 102 MW in Poland and 30 MW in Bulgaria. At the same time, the company completes a Wind Park of 150 MW capacity in Texas of USA, whereas it constructs new projects of 90 MW capacity in Greece, targeting to achieve the landmark goal of 1 GW in operation.

Characteristically, during the past 5 years, the Group invested approximately 120 million euro on average basis.

The Company's construction business segment continues to render services to external customers as well as for the construction of the Company's own projects or of its subsidiaries' ones.

For the year 2016, the Group's consolidated sales amounted to 225.6 mil euro compared to 198.6 mil euro in 2015, posting a 13.6%% increase mainly due to increased income from the construction segment and from the sale of energy. Operating profit before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) amounted to 115.8 mil euro compared to 99.3 mil in the previous year, increased by 16.6% due to the Group's increased operating capacity in the energy sector. Earnings before taxes amounted to 36.3 mil, increased by 19.8% compared to the previous year, whereas earnings after taxes and minority interests amounted to 20.6 mil euro, posting a 21.9% increase.

As regards to the results of the individual sectors: The energy sector generated sales of 151.1 million euro, posting a 7.7% increase compared to the year 2015, whereas the energy trading segment posted revenues of 31.5 million euro. The operating profitability before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of the energy sector amounted to 109 million euro, posting an increase of 11.7% versus the year 2015, whereas the respective profitability in the energy trading business was marginal.

TERNA ENERGY's construction activity towards third parties presented sales amounting to 30.3 mil euro versus 20.2 mil euro in 2015. Operating profit before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of the sector amounted to 6.4 mil euro compared to 1.2 mil euro in the previous year. The backlog of construction projects towards third parties at the end of 2016 amounted to 52.6 mil euro.

Finally, revenues from the concessions segment amounted to 12.8 million euro, whereas the operating profitability of the segment was marginal.

The Group's financial position remains constantly satisfactory, as its cash & cash equivalents amounted to 164.4 mil euro, while bank debt amounted to 667.9 mil euro, resulting in a net debt position (cash minus bank debt) at the level of 503.5 mil euro. It is noted that the Group's cash & cash equivalents include amounts of 87.1 million euro that are to be returned. The amounts concern collected grants and will be returned due to due to the cancellation of certain wind parks' construction or the time expiry of decisions for inclusion of others whose construction has not been cancelled.

The Board of Directors of the Company intends to propose to the Annual Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting the distribution of a dividend of 0.09 euro per share.

Β. Significant events during financial year 2016

The completion of construction and the full operation of a Wind Park with capacity of 73.2 MW in Ai Giorgis Island of Municipality of Lavreotiki took place in 2016.

Finally, the Hellenic Competition Commission (HCC), within the framework of its competencies, conducted an ex officio investigation for a restrictive cartel in the competition of the public‐projects market. This survey examined almost all Hellenic Construction Companies ‐ including our Company ‐ as well as a significant number of foreign companies.

Within the context of the aforementioned investigation, it was mentioned as a possible participant, in only one case, a twenty‐year company, which in the distant past merged with our Company under transformation procedures.

As a result of the aforementioned event, our Company, on the basis of article 25a of Law 3959/2011 as well as the resolution no. 628/2016 of the Plenary Session of the HCC, submitted, on the grounds of an obvious corporate interest and short settlement with a view to the reasonable possible discharge, a request to be subject to the envisaged settlement dispute procedures, namely in a conciliation procedure.

As a result of the above request, the settlement procedure is in the process of being fully completed, and after the issuance of the relevant recommendation by the Hellenic Competition Commission and the submission by the Company of the required unconditional and irrevocable commitment, declaration, acceptance and resignation, the relevant decision is expected.

Further to the foregoing and always in the context of confidentiality which, in accordance with the applicable provisions, covers any relevant information, we can state that according to our submitted statements and the issued Recommendation, does not arise or is not being undertaken any risk of breaches for our Company.

C. Significant Events after the end of financial year

On 24/02/2017 our Company was notified of the Settlement Initiative by HCC. As it has already been analyzed, an irrevocable statement was submitted for the commitment and inclusion in the Dispute Settlement Procedure. Based on this statement does not arise or is not being undertaken any risk of breaches regarding our Company.

D. Risks and Uncertainties

The positive prospects for the TERNA ENERGY Group for 2017 remain stable, since:

a) the construction of two new investments in Greece continues, one of which will be completed and will start operating in 2017

b) the investment in Ai‐Giorgis will be fully operational within 2017

c) the new investment (FLUVANNA I) will be completed and will start operating in the USA, while,

(d) the two waste management projects that the company intends to implement are maturing in procedural and financial manner.

Of course, the continuation of the crisis and the restrictions on the capital transfers may have a negative impact on the operation of the market and cause delay in the implementation of the Group's investment scheme in Greece. With the aforementioned effort of the Group for expansion of its operations abroad, the Management aims at the diversification of the relevant risks and the balancing of the potential impact on the Group's financial figures.

Within this context, it continuously and systematically monitors the developments in the Greek economy, discusses and cooperates with financial agents and specialists in international markets and, in direct, continuous and systematic cooperation with the Group's executives, the Management plans and implements measures in order to deal with each identified risk so as to minimize its adverse effects to the minimum possible extent.

As a result of the above approach, the Company, despite the current financial crisis, at the reporting date of the Annual Consolidated Financial Statements maintains satisfactory capital adequacy, profitability and liquidity and continues to be fully consistent with its obligations to suppliers, state, insurance organizations e.t.c. creditors. It is noteworthy that in the middle of the crisis, it continues its investment scheme successfully, while at the same time it distributes dividend to its shareholders.

Also, the Management believes that by 2017 the promises of the competent authorities and bodies regarding the reduction of the deficits in the energy management system will be kept, and thus the credit risk will be limited in relation to the energy sector requirements for both the Parent Company and the Other Greek companies of the Group.

The Group's activities are also subject to other risks and uncertainties, such as market risk (exchange rate fluctuations, interest rates, market prices, etc.), financial risks (credit risk, liquidity risk, etc.) wind and weather conditions.

To address financial risks and reduce their negative impact on the results, the Group monitors the fluctuations of the factors that affect cost and sales and uses appropriate, as per case, products such as deposits to banks, commercial debtors and creditors, other accounts receivable and payable, securities, long‐term and short‐ term loans.

The impact of the main risks and uncertainties on the Group's activities is analyzed as follows.

Credit risk

The Group continuously controls its receivables, either separately or by group and it incorporates the resulting information in its credit control.

The total of receivables of the energy sector concerns the broader public sector, nationally (including LAGIE and HEDNO) and abroad, while the same applies for the majority of receivables of the construction sector.

The Group, traditionally, by nature of its operations, is not exposed to significant credit risk from trade receivables, apart from possible overdue payments from LAGIE. The overdue payments can be significantly reduced following the adoption of Law 4254/14.

Credit – transaction risk for cash equivalents, as well as for other receivables is low, given that the relevant parties are reliable banks with high quality capital structure, the Greek state or companies of the broader public sector or powerful business groups.

The Group's Management considers that all the above mentioned financial assets, for which the necessary impairments have been implemented, are of high credit quality.

Foreign exchange risk

Apart from Greece, the Group operates in Eastern Europe and the United States of America and therefore it may be exposed to foreign exchange risk that may result from the exchange rate of the euro against other currencies. This type of risk may arise only from trade transactions in foreign currency, from financial investments in foreign currency, as well as from net investments in foreign entities.

To address this risk, the Group's financial management department systematically monitors exchange rate fluctuations and ensures that it does not adversely affect its cash flows.

With regard to the company's transactions with foreign entities, such primarily take place with European groups where the settlement currency is the euro and therefore such transactions are not exposed to foreign exchange risk.

Interest rate risk

The Group's policy is to minimize its exposure to interest rate risk with regards to long‐term financing and operation. In the context of this policy, the long‐term loans received by the Group are either under fixed interest rates or are hedged for interest rate risk for almost the whole of their duration. Therefore, 23.7% of the Group's long‐term debt is under fixed interest rates, 36.5% refers to floating interest rate loans that have been hedged with derivatives through which future payments of fixed interest rate are exchanged with future floating interest rate receipts, while 39.8% is under floating interest rates either linked to euribor or wibor. The Group's total short‐term debt is in euro under floating interest rates linked to euribor. Short‐term loans are primarily received as bridge financing during the phase of implementation and construction of the Group's investments.

The relevant loans are repaid either when the relevant government grants are received or through long‐term loans during the completion of construction and commencement of operation of the wind parks. These loans are expected to be repaid within one year, while new short‐term loans are expected to be received to finance the construction of new wind parks. Therefore the Group is exposed to interest rate risk arising from short‐ term debt and the part of long‐term debt that is under floating interest rates.

Sensitivity analysis of interest rate risk

The following table presents the sensitivity of the year's results against the Group's short‐term debt and deposits, to an interest rate change of +20% –20% (2015: +/‐20% as well). The interest rate changes examined are considered to fluctuate on a reasonable basis given the recent market condition and, until today, appear stable in relation to the previous year.

2016 2015
Amounts in thousands € 20% (20%) 20% (20%)
Result after taxes ‐ Group (107) 107 (261) 261
Result after taxes – Company 2 (2) (14) 14

The Group is not exposed to other interest rate risks.

Analysis of market risk

The Group is not exposed to market risk with regards to its financial assets.

Analysis of liquidity risk

The Group's liquidity is considered satisfactory, as apart from existing cash and cash equivalents, wind parks currently in operation create satisfactory cash flows. Net cash flows from operating activities amounted to 28.3 mil euro during 2016 compared to 63.1 mil euro in 2015. The Group manages its liquidity needs by applying a cautious cash flow planning, by carefully monitoring the balance of long‐term financial liabilities as well as by systematically managing the payments which take place on a daily basis. The liquidity needs are monitored at different time zones, on a daily and weekly basis, as well as on the basis of a moving 30‐day period. The liquidity needs for the next 6 months and the next year are defined monthly.

The company maintains cash and cash equivalents in banks, in order to cover its liquidity needs for periods up to 30 days. The capital for mid‐term liquidity needs is released from the company's term deposits.

Other risks and uncertainties

The company remains exposed to short‐term fluctuations of wind and hydrologic data, a fact however that does not affect the long‐term efficiency of its projects, as prior to the implementation of the investments extensive studies take place with regards to the long‐term behavior of such factors.

The construction sector of TERNA ENERGY is subject to significant fluctuations, both with regards to turnover and with regards to the profitability of each construction project, because the construction activity, particularly of specialized companies such as ours, entails increased volatility that is mainly related to the ongoing renewal of the backlog of construction agreements towards third parties, which are mainly Public entities.

Ε. Prospects & Outlook

As it was mentioned previously, the positive prospects for the TERNA ENERGY Group for 2017 remain stable, since:

a) the construction of two new investments in Greece continues, one of which will be completed and will start operating in 2017

b) the investment in Ai‐Giorgis will be fully operational within 2017

c) the new investment (FLUVANNA I) will be completed and will start operating in the USA, while,

(d) the two waste management projects that the company intends to implement are maturing in procedural and financial manner.

F. Definitions and reconciliation of the Alternative Performance Measures ("APM")

During the description of the Group's performance, ratios such as the following are used:

Adjusted "Operating results (EBIT)" is an indicator via which the Management of the Group assesses the operating performance of a business segment. The above element is defined as the Gross Profit, minus the Administrative and distribution expenses, minus the Research and development expenses, plus/minus the Other income/(expenses) apart from the items of the Foreign exchange differences due to payment and valuation, the Impairments of fixed assets, the Impairments of inventories, the Other impairments and provisions, and the Impaired / Written‐off receivables, as they are presented in the attached financial statements (Note 5).

"Net debt / (Surplus)" constitutes an indicator via which the Management of the Group assesses the cash position of a business segment at any point in time. The above element is defined as the sum of liabilities from loans and leasing agreements minus the cash reserves (Note 5).

The "EBITDA" is defined as the Operating results (EBIT), plus the depreciation of assets, minus the corresponding for the year grants on fixed assets, as they are presented in the attached financial statements (Note 5).

The ratio Bank Debt over Total Employed Capital: Total Employed Capital is defined as the sum of total equity, bank debt, the titles issued in the context of the tax equity investment (note 22), the repayment of which is secondary to the repayment of the primary debt of the respective Wind Parks and is performed only to the extent that the required return from their operation is achieved, the state grants minus the amount of cash which is not subject to any limitation of use or to any suspension.

Amounts in € thous. 31.12.2016 31.12.2015
Bank Debt 667,856 486,072
Total Equity 355,294 346,781
Bank Debt 667,856 486,072
Financial liabilities from secondary securities 48,554 49,388
Grants 159,156 236,239
Minus: Cash and Deposits (113,355) (139,790)
Capital 1,117,441 978,690
Bank Debt / Total Employed Capital 60% 50%

The ratio at the end of the financial years 2016 and 2015 is the following:

G. Treasury Shares

During the period 01/01/2016 – 31/12/2016, the Company bought back 1,330,470 shares with a nominal value of 399,141 euro and market value of 3,250,278 euro.

From January 1st, 2005 they are obliged, according to the legislation in effect, to prepare their Statutory Financial Statements according to the IFRS that have been adopted by the European Union.

The Company and the Greek companies of the Group continue to keep their accounting books in accordance with the provisions of the tax laws, as they have the right to do so. Off balance sheet adjustments are then made in order to prepare the accompanying financial statements in accordance with the IFRS.

c) New Standards, Interpretations and Amendments of Standards

The accounting principles applied for the preparation of the financial statements are the same with those applied for the preparation of the annual financial statements of the Company and the Group as of 31 December 2015, apart from the adoption of new accounting standards. The Group has fully adopted all IFRS and interpretations which up to the preparation date of the financial statements had been endorsed by the European Union and whose application was mandatory, according to the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), for the financial period that ended on 31 December 2016.

i. New Standards, Interpretations, Revisions and Amendments to existing Standards that are in effect and have been endorsed by the European Union

The present amendment applies to contributions made by employees or third parties with respect to defined benefit plans. The purpose of this amendment is to simplify the accounting treatment of those contributions that are independent of the employee's years of service, such as the contributions calculated as a fixed percentage of payroll.

- Standards' Annual Improvements ‐ Cycle 2010‐2012 (effective for accounting periods beginning on 01/02/2015 or after)

The IASB proceeded in December 2013 with the publication "Annual Improvements in the International Financial Reporting Standards period 2010‐2012", which is consisted of a series of adjustments in 8 Standards and it is part of the scheme for the annual improvements in standards. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2014, although the economic entities are allowed to apply them earlier. The topics included in this cycle of changes are as follows: IFRS 2: Definition of vesting conditions, IFRS 3: Accounting treatment of potential consideration in business combinations, IFRS 8: Aggregation of operating segments, IFRS 8: Alignment of reportable segments' assets with the assets of the company, IFRS 13: Current assets and liabilities IAS 7: Interest paid that are capitalized, IAS 16 / IAS 38: Revaluation method‐ proportionate restatement of accumulated depreciation and IAS 24: Key Executives' Services.

IAS 16 and IAS 38 establish the principles so as to be clarified the way in which depreciation is treated in the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset. The IASB has clarified that the utilization of the methods based on revenues for the calculation of an asset's depreciation is not appropriate, because the revenues generated by an activity that involves the use of an asset generally reflect factors other than the consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset. The amendments have no effect on the consolidated Financial Statements.

- Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 41: "Agriculture: fruit plantations" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 01/01/2016)

ii. New Standards, Interpretations, Revisions and Amendments to existing Standards that are not yet in effect or have not been endorsed by the European Union

The following new Standards and Revisions of Standards have been published by the International Accounting Standards Board. However they are not yet in effect or approved by the European Union. Specifically:

- IFRS 14 "Regulatory Deferral Accounts" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 01/01/2016)

In January 2014, IASB issued a new standard, IFRS 14. The objective of this intermediate standard is to enhance the financial reports' comparability of companies that have regulated activities. In many countries there are sectors that are subject to specific rules according to which government authorities regulate the supply and pricing of certain types of activities of private business entities. The Group will consider the impact of all the above on the Financial Statements, although it is not expected to incur any impact. These have not been adopted by the European Union in anticipation of the final version of the Standard.

- IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 01/01/2018)

In May 2014, the IASB issued a new standard, IFRS 15. This standard is fully harmonized with the requirements for the recognition of revenue in accordance with IFRS and American accounting principles (US GAAP). The basic principles of the particular Standard are in line with significant part of current practices. The new Standard is expected to improve the financial information by establishing a more solid framework for the resolution of the issues which may arise, thus strengthening the comparability among sectors and capital markets, as well as providing additional disclosures and clarifying the accounting treatment of the contracts' cost. The new standard is been formed to replace IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction Contracts and some interpretations that are related to revenues.

These have been adopted by the European Union with the effective date set on 01/01/2018.

- IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 01/01/2018)

In July 2014 the IASB issued the final version of IFRS 9. The improvements made to the new standard refer to the existence of a logical model regarding the classification and measurement, a single proactive model for "expected losses" from impairment and also a substantially reformed approach for hedge accounting. The Group will consider the impact of all the above in the Financial Statements of the Group, even though it is not expected to be any. These have been adopted by the European Union with the effective date set on 01/01/2018.

- Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28: "Sales or Contributions of Assets among an investor and the Associate or Joint Venture" (the IASB postponed indefinitely the initiation of the above amendments)

In September 2014, the IASB issued amendments of limited scope to IFRS 10 and IAS 28. The aim of the above amendments is to effectively treat a recognized inconsistency between the requirements of IFRS 10 and those of IAS 28 regarding the treatment of the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its affiliate or joint venture. In December 2015, the IASB postponed indefinitely the initiation of the above amendments, in anticipation of the outcome of the research work concerning the accounting treatment based on the equity method. The Group will consider the impact of all the above in the Financial Statements of the Group, although it is not expected to be any. These have not been adopted by the European Union.

IFRS 16 "Leases" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 01/01/2019)

In January 2016, IASB published the new Standard, IFRS 16. The aim of the project by IASB was to develop a new Standard for leases which determines the principles applied by both parties in a corresponding agreement, namely the customer ("the lessee") and the supplier ("the lessor"), concerning the provision of information for the leases in a manner that accurately depicts such transactions. In order to serve the above aim, the lessee will have to recognize the assets and liabilities emanating from the lease. The Group will consider the impact of all the above in the Financial Statements of the Group, although it is not expected to be any. These have not been adopted by the European Union.

Amendment to IAS 12 Deferred Taxation "Recognition of deferred tax assets for unrealized losses" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 01/01/2017)

In January 2016, IASB proceeded with the issuance of a narrow‐scope amendment to IAS 12. The aim of the said amendments was to clarify the accounting treatment of the deferred tax assets for the unrealized losses from securities measured at fair value.

Amendments in IAS 7: «Disclosure Initiative» (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 01/01/2017)

In January 2016, IASB proceeded with the issue of amendments of limited scope in IAS 7. The aim of the amendments is to make feasible for the users of the financial statements to evaluate the changes in liabilities occurring from financial activities. The amendments require from the economic entities to provide disclosures, which will make feasible to the investors to evaluate the changes in liabilities occurring from financial activities, including the changes deriving from cash flows, as well as non‐cash changes. The Group will consider the impact of all the above in the Financial Statements of the Group, although it is not expected to be any. These have not been adopted by the European Union.

Clarification to IFRS 15 «Revenue from Contracts with Customers» (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 01/01/2018)

In April 2016, IASB proceeded to the issuance of clarifications concerning IFRS 15. The amendments of IFRS 15 do not alter the basic principles of the Standard, but provide clarifications regarding the application of these standards. The amendments clarify the pattern with which a commitment for the execution of contract is recognized, how it is determined whether an economic entity constitutes the entity giving or receiving a mandate, as well as how it is determined whether the income from a license should be recognized at a particular point in time or gradually with the passage of time. The Group will consider the impact of all the above in the Financial Statements of the Group, although it is not expected to be any. These have not been adopted by the European Union.

Amendment in IFRS 2: «Classification and Measurement of Share‐based Payment Transactions» (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 01/01/2018)

In June 2016, IASB proceeded with the issuance of an amendment of limited scope in IFRS 2. The aim of the particular amendment is to provide clarifications regarding the accounting treatment of certain types of share‐ based payment transactions. More specifically, the amendment introduces the requirements regarding the accounting treatment of the effect of the vesting and non‐vesting conditions in the measurement of share‐ based payments arranged in cash, the accounting treatment of the share‐based payment transactions which carry a characteristic of settlement on an offsetting basis regarding the obligation for withheld tax, as well as an amendment in the conditions and terms of share‐based payment, which alters the classification of the transaction from arranged in cash to arranged based on shares. The Group will consider the impact of all the above in the Financial Statements of the Group, although it is not expected to be any. These have not been adopted by the European Union.

‐ Amendments to IFRS 4: "Application of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments in Accordance with IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 01/01/2018)

In September 2016, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 4. The purpose of these amendments is to determine the treatment of temporary accounting effects due to the different date of entry into force of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and the current version of the Standard on Insurance Contracts. The amendments to the existing requirements of IFRS 4 allow to entities whose main activities are related with insurance to postpone the application of IFRS 9 by 2021 ("temporary exemption") and allow all issuers of insurance contracts to recognize the other comprehensive Income, rather than profits or losses, the volatility that may result from the application of IFRS 9 before the issuance of the new Standard on Insurance Contracts ("overlapping approach"). The Group will examine the impact of all of the above on its Financial Statements, although they are not expected to have any. These have not been adopted by the European Union.

Annual Improvements to IFRSs ‐ Cycle 2014‐2016 (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 01/01/2017 and 01/01/2018)

In December 2016, the IASB issued the "Annual Improvements to IFRS ‐ Cycle 2014‐2016", which consists of a series of amendments to some Standards and is part of the program for annual improvements to IFRSs. The amendments included in this circle are as follows: IFRS 12: Clarification of the implementation context of the Standard, IFRS 1: Deletion of short‐term exemptions for first‐time IFRS adopters, IAS 28: Measurement of a related or a joint venture at fair value. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017 with respect to IFRS 12 and on or after 1 January 2018 with respect to IFRS 1 and IAS 28. The Group will examine the impact of all of the above in its Financial Statements Situations, although it is not expected to have any. The above have not been adopted by the European Union.

‐ IFRIC 22 "Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Payments" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 01/01/2018)

In December 2016, the IASB issued a new IFRIC 22 Interpretation. This Interpretation includes the exchange rate requirements to be used when presenting foreign currency transactions (e.g. revenue transactions) when payment has been received or paid in advance. The Group will examine the impact of all of the above in its Financial Statements, although it is not expected to have any. These have not been adopted by the European Union.

‐ Amendments to IAS 40 "Transfers of Property Investments from or to Other Categories" (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 01/01/2018)

In December 2016, the IASB issued amendments of limited scope to IAS 40. The purpose of these amendments is to strengthen the principle of transfers from or to investment property so as to determine that (a) a transfer from, or to Property investments should be made only if there is a change in the use of the property and (b) such a change in the use of the property would include the valuation of the property that meets the criteria for classification as an investment property. This change in use should be supported by relevant documentation / evidence. The Group will examine the impact of all of the above in its Financial Statements, although it is not expected to have any. These have not been adopted by the European Union.

d) Approval of Financial Statements

The accompanying annual consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors of the Parent Company on 26 April 2017.

e) Use of Estimates

The Group makes estimations, assumptions and judgments in order to choose the best accounting principles related to the future evolution of events and transactions. These estimations, assumptions and judgments are continuously assessed in order to reflect current information and risk and are based on the management's experience related to level/volume of transactions or events.

The main assumptions and judgments that may affect the financial statements in the coming 12 months are as follows:

a) Recognition of income from construction contracts: The Group uses the percentage of completion method to recognize revenue from construction contracts, in accordance with IAS 11. According to this method the construction cost as of each balance sheet date is compared to the budgeted total cost of the project in order to determine the percentage of completion of the project.

The cumulated effect of the restatements/reassessments of the total budgeted cost of the projects and the total contractual payment (recognition of work over and above the contract) is recorded in the financial years during which such restatements arise. The total budgeted cost and the total contractual payment of the projects arise from estimation procedures and are reassessed and reviewed at each balance sheet date.

b) Provision for income tax: The provision for income tax according to IAS 12 is calculated with the estimation of taxes to be paid to tax authorities and includes the current income tax for each financial year and a provision for additional taxes that may occur from tax audits. The final settlement of income tax may differ from the relevant amounts recognized in the financial statements.

c) Provision for environmental rehabilitation: The Group creates a provision against its relevant liabilities for dismantlement of technical equipment of wind parks and environmental rehabilitation, that arise based on the written environmental legislation or by the Group's restrictive practices. The environmental rehabilitation provision reflects the present value (based on an appropriate discount rate), at the balance sheet date of the rehabilitation liability less the estimated recoverable value of material estimated to be dismantled and sold.

d) Valuation of inventories: For the valuation of inventories, the Group estimates according to statistical data and market conditions, the expected sale prices and the finalization and distribution cost of such per category of inventories.

e) Impairment of assets and recovery: The Group performs evaluation of the technological, institutional and financial developments by examining indications of impairment of all assets (fixed, trade and other receivables, financial assets etc.) as well as their recovery. Also, the installation licenses of wind parks that have not been set in operation are subject to an annual impairment review. The establishment of possible impairment requires, among others, estimation of the value in use, which is estimated using the discounted cash flow method. During the application of this method, the Group relies on a series of factors, which include future operating results as well as market data. The estimation of future operating results is based on efficiency estimations of the wind parks according to wind statistical data and historical data on comparable units.

f) Provision for staff indemnities: The Group, according to IAS 19, performs estimations of assumptions based on which the actuarial provision for staff indemnities is calculated.

g) Depreciation of fixed assets: For the calculation of depreciations, the Group reviews the useful economic life and residual value of tangible and intangible fixed assets based on the technological, institutional and financial developments, as well as the experience from their use.

h) Acquisition of companies: The Group consolidates all companies it acquires from the date when control on such is acquired. In case where the acquisition depends on the realization of a series of future events – conditions, the company examines whether according to the actual events it has acquired control on the relevant companies. In case of a company acquisition, it is examined whether the acquired company meets the definition of a business according to IFRS 3. A business company usually consists of inflows, procedures that are applied on such inflows and resulting outflows that are used or will be used for the generation of income. In case where a company acquired is assessed not to consist of a complete series of activities and assets with the form of a company, then the acquisition is accounted for as an acquisition of assets and not of a company.

i) Fair value of financial assets and liabilities: The Group applies estimation of the fair value of financial assets and liabilities.

j) Financial Liabilities: The Group has issued financial securities, in the context of a tax equity investment program (note 19), the payments of which depend on the future returns on specific Group investments. This financial liability is measured at amortized cost with the effective interest rate method. The calculation of the effective interest rate is based on management's estimations regarding the future cash flows of the specific investments for the entire expected duration of such.

k) Reviewing of contracts incorporating lease elements: In the context of energy selling contracts, that the Group enters into, with an electricity supply company, it undertakes to sell all of the electricity produced by a particular installation. Pursuant to the requirements of IFRIC 4 "Determining whether a contract contains a lease", the Group reviews the electricity selling contracts in order to assess whether they contain elements of lease, so as to recognize the relevant receipts in accordance with IAS 17 "Leases". It is deemed that lease elements are included in a contract when the entire production of a particular wind park is sold to the provider and the contract price is neither constant nor represents the current market price at the time of production. The estimated lease revenue, which is recognized according to the direct method, depends on the future production of the park according to its capacity and the wind measurements.

3 SUMMARY OF KEY ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

The main accounting principles adopted during the preparation of the accompanying annual consolidated and individual financial statements are the following:

a) Consolidation Basis

The attached consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of TERNA ENERGY and its subsidiaries. The subsidiary companies in which the Group holds directly or indirectly more than half of the voting rights or has the right to exercise control over their operation have been consolidated. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date that the Group acquires control over them and cease to be consolidated from the date it no longer has control.

The Group's interests in Joint Ventures, in the cases where they are subject to common control, are consolidated in the consolidated financial statements using the equity consolidation method which provides for the recording of participation at cost plus the share of participation in the joint venture less any provisions for impairment in the value of the participations. As a result, the assets, liabilities and total income of j/v are not included in the consolidated financial statements.

Intra‐group transactions and balances have been cancelled‐out in the attached consolidated financial statements. Whenever required the accounting principles of the subsidiaries have been amended in order to ensure consistency with the accounting principles adopted by the Group.

b) Investments in Associates

Includes companies in which the Group exercises significant influence however they are not subsidiaries or joint ventures. The Group's participating interests are recorded using the equity method. According to this method the participating interest in the associate company is carried at acquisition cost plus any change in the percentage of its equity held by the Group, less any provisions for impairment. The consolidated income statement shows the Group's share in the associate's results, while the amounts recorded by the associates directly in their equity, are recognized directly in Group's equity.

c) Joint operations

These concern tax construction joint ventures. They are not separate entities in the context of IFRS. Their assets and liabilities are incorporated according to the proportion they refer to, to the financial statements of the Company or its subsidiaries.

d) Investments and other (non‐derivative) financial assets

Financial assets that fall under the provisions of IAS 39 and are governed by them are classified according to their nature and characteristics into one of the following four categories:

  • (i) Investments available for sale
  • (ii) Receivables and loans
  • (iii) Financial assets at fair value through the profit or loss
  • (iv) Investments held to maturity

Initially they are recognized at acquisition cost, which represents the fair value plus, in some cases, the direct transaction and acquisition expenses.

The classification of the above financial assets is made upon their initial recognition and wherever permitted it is reviewed and reassessed on a periodic basis.

(i) Investments available for sale

Financial assets (non‐derivative) that cannot be classified in any of the remaining three categories are designated and classified as investment available for sale. After the initial recognition, available for sale investments are registered in other comprehensive income. Upon sale or write‐off or impairment of the investment the accumulated gains or losses are included in the profit or loss.

(ii) Receivables and loans

Receivables and loans created by the activities of the Group (and which fall outside the usual credit limits) are valued at net amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains or losses are recorded in the profit or loss when the relevant amounts are written‐off or suffer impairment as well as through the amortization process.

(iii) Financial assets at fair value through the profit and loss

This relates to the trading portfolio and comprises investments acquired with a view to liquidate them in the near future. Gains or losses from the valuation of such assets are recorded in the profit or loss.

(iv) Investments held to maturity

Financial assets (non‐derivative) with defined flows and defined maturity are classified as held to maturity when the company is willing and able to retain them until their maturity. Investments held indefinitely or for a predetermined period cannot be classified in this category. Held to maturity investments are valued, after the initial recording, at net amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains or losses are recorded in the profit or loss when the relevant amounts are written‐off or suffer impairment as well as through the amortization process.

The current value of such investments that are traded in an organized exchange is derived by the exchange value of the investment at the closing date. As regards investments that are not traded in an active market, their fair value is calculated on the basis of relevant valuation techniques.

These techniques are based on recent arm's‐length investment transactions, with reference to the exchange value of another investment with characteristics similar to the investment valued, discounted cash‐flow analysis and investment valuation models.

e) Financial Instruments and Risk Management

Non‐derivative financial assets and liabilities in the balance sheet include cash balances, receivables, participations bank loans and other short and long‐term liabilities. The Company does not use derivative financial products. The accounting principles for the recognition and measurement of these items are mentioned in the respective accounting principles, which are presented in this Note. Financial instruments are disclosed as receivables, liabilities or equity based on the substance and the contents of the relevant contracts from which they stem. Interest, dividends, gains and losses resulting from the financial instruments that are classified as receivables or liabilities are accounted for as expenses or income respectively. The distribution of dividends to shareholders is accounted for directly through equity. Financial instruments are netted‐off when the Company, according to the law, has this legal right and intends to set them off (against each other) on a net basis or to recover the asset and net the liability off at the same time. Financial risk management aims to minimize possible negative effects and specifically:

Interest rate risk and exchange rate risk

The Company's bank loans are mainly denominated in euro and are subject to variable and fixed interest rates. As regards to interest rate risk, the Company uses derivative instruments in order to reduce its exposure to interest rate risk, while it uses natural hedging methods to hedge exchange rate risk in countries it operates in, by borrowing partly in local currency thus hedging the exchange rate risk of its receivables. The Management of the Company follows the development of interest rates and exchange rates and takes the necessary measures to reduce the risk.

Fair Value

The amounts appearing in the attached Statement of Financial Position for cash balances, short‐term receivables and other short‐term liabilities approximate their respective real values due to their short‐term nature. The fair value of short‐term bank loans does not differ from their accounting value due to the use of variable interest rates.

Credit Risk Concentration

A substantial part of trade receivables in general relate to agencies and entities of the Public sector with which there is no significant credit risk, apart from contingent payment delays. Furthermore, the total income from the energy sector is derived from two Public sector companies.

The Group's policy is to seek business with customers of satisfactory credit standing while the constant aim is to resolve any resulting differences within an amicable settlement context.

Market Risk

The Group has not entered into contracts in order to hedge the market risk arising from its exposure to fluctuations in the prices of raw materials used in the production process.

f) Operation and Presentation Currency and Foreign Exchange Conversion:

The euro is the currency of operation and presentation of the Group and its Greek subsidiaries. Transactions in other currencies are converted into euro using the exchange rates in effect at the date of the transaction. At the date of compilation of the financial statements the monetary asset and liability items that are denominated in other currencies are adjusted so as to reflect the current exchange rates.

The profits and losses resulting from the end‐of‐year valuation of monetary items in foreign currencies are reflected in the attached consolidated income statement. The profits or losses resulting from transactions are also reflected in the consolidated income statement.

The currency of operation of the foreign subsidiaries of the Group is the official currency of the country each subsidiary operates in. Accordingly, at each reporting period all the accounts of the Statement of Financial Position of subsidiaries are converted into euro using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Income and expenses are converted using the weighted average rate in effect during the year.

The resulting exchange differences from the valuation of foreign subsidiaries as described above are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Upon sale or disposal of a foreign subsidiary the cumulated exchange differences described above are recorded in the profit and loss account.

g) Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist of rights for use of forestry land, where Wind Parks are installed, purchased Wind Park licenses and software acquisition costs. The right of use of forestry land, where Wind Parks are installed, includes the related acquisition costs less accumulated amortization and possible impairment.

The value of software includes the acquisition cost and all expenses incurred to develop the software in order to bring it to operating condition less accumulated amortization and possible impairment. Significant subsequent expenses are capitalized when such increase the software's capacity after initial specifications.

Amortization of licenses and on the rights of use for land where Wind Parks are installed is accounted for, using the straight‐line method over the duration of the contractual right for the production of energy (approximately 20 years), beginning from the period when each Wind Park starts operating. Amortization of software is accounted for based on the straight‐line method over 3 years. The amortization of all the aforementioned items is included in the income statement.

h) Income recognition

Income is recognized to the extent that it is probable that economic benefits will result for the Group and that the relevant amounts can be accurately measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met for the recognition of income.

(i) Income from construction activities

The Group and the joint‐ventures it participates in recognize income from construction contracts in their accounting books based on amounts invoiced to customers, which result from the relevant partial certifications of work completed that are issued by the responsible engineers and correspond to the work completed up to the closing date. For reasons of compliance with the IFRS income from construction activity is accounted for in the attached consolidated financial statements using the percentage‐of‐completion method in accordance with the provisions of IAS 11 "Construction Contracts".

According to the percentage‐of‐completion method the construction costs incurred up to the reporting date are compared to the total estimated cost of the project in order to determine the percentage of the project that has been completed. This percentage is applied to the total revised contract price in order to determine the cumulated income from the project, based on which the invoiced income to date is revised. The cumulated effect of the revisions of the total estimated construction cost and the total contract price are accounted for during the accounting periods in which they arise. In the cases of contracts where it is forecast that the total estimated cost will exceed the total contract price, the entire loss is recognized in the year during which the loss‐making events become probable.

Non‐invoiced accrued income relates to income recognized on the basis of the method described above that has not yet been invoiced. Non‐accrued income comprises amounts invoiced up to the balance sheet date over and above the income calculated using the percentage‐of‐completion method.

Project execution down payments represent amounts received by the Group upon signing the relevant contracts and are proportionally netted‐off with the partial invoicing. The remaining amount appears as a liability in the attached financial statements.

(ii) Sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods, net of trade discounts, sales incentive discounts and the corresponding VAT, is recognized when the significant risks and benefits from ownership of the goods have been transferred to the buyer.

(iii) Revenue from the sale of Electric Energy

Revenue from the sale of Electric Energy is accounted for in the year in which it accrues. Revenue from sales of electric energy to LAGIE or any other customer that have not yet been invoiced is recognized as accrued non‐ invoiced income in the financial statements. Furthermore, the expected receipts from energy production, in the context of energy selling contracts, which according to IFRIC 4 contain lease elements, are recognized as revenues, proportionately, over the term of the contract and to the extent that these receipts relate to the lease contract. An energy selling contract is deemed to involve lease elements when it concerns to the total of energy produced by a particular installation of the Group and the price per unit of energy is neither constant throughout the duration of the contract, nor represents the market price at the date of production.

(iv) Rent Revenue

Rent revenue is recognized using the straight‐line method, according to the terms of the lease.

(v) Dividends

Dividends are accounted for when the right to receive them has been finalized by the shareholders by virtue of a General Meeting resolution.

(vi) Interest

Interest income is recognized on an accruals basis.

i) Tangible Fixed Assets

The Group has valued certain land, buildings, machinery and vehicles at fair value on January 1st, 2004 and these fair values have been used as implied cost at the date of transition to IFRS. The resulting surplus was credited to the profits carried forward account. The remaining land, buildings, machinery and vehicles are measured at purchase cost less accumulated depreciation and any provisions for impairment.

Repairs and maintenance are booked as expenses during the year in which they are incurred. Significant improvements are capitalized in the cost of the respective fixed assets provided that they augment the useful economic life, increase the production level or improve the efficiency of the respective fixed assets.

Tangible fixed asset items are eliminated from the balance sheet on disposal or withdrawal or when no further economic benefits are expected from their continued use. Gains or losses resulting from the elimination of an asset from the balance sheet are included in the income statement of the financial year in which the fixed asset in question is eliminated.

Fixed assets under construction include fixed assets that are work in progress and are recorded at their cost, as well as advances for asset acquisitions. Fixed assets under construction are not depreciated until the asset is completed and put into operation.

j) Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated according to the straight‐line method using rates that approximate the relevant useful economic lives of the respective assets. The useful economic lives per fixed asset category are as follows:

Asset Category Years
Buildings and technical installations 8‐30
Machinery and Technical Installations 3‐20
Vehicles 5‐12
Fixtures and Other Equipment 3‐12

k) Impairment of the Value of Fixed Assets

The book values of licenses of Wind Parks that are not yet in operation and of intangible assets with an indefinite life are reviewed for impairment purposes on an annual basis. Other long‐term assets are reviewed for impairment purposes when facts or changes in circumstances imply that the book value may not be recoverable. When the book value of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the respective impairment loss is registered in the income statement. The recoverable amount is defined as the largest value between the net estimated sales price and the value in use. The net sales value is the plausible income from the sale of an asset in the context of an arm's‐length transaction, in which all parties have full knowledge and willingness, after the deduction of each additional direct sales cost for the asset. The acquisition cost consists of the net present value of future estimated cash flows expected to occur from the continuous use of the asset and from the income expected to arise from its sale at the end of its estimated useful economic life. In order to determine the impairment, the asset items are grouped at the lowest level for which cash flows can be recognized separately.

A reversal of an impairment loss for the value of assets accounted for in previous years, takes place only when there are sufficient indications that such an impairment no longer exists or it has been reduced. In these cases the above reversal is treated as income.

The Management assesses that there is no case of impairment of the Group's fixed assets and thus a calculation of the assets' recoverable amounts has not been made.

l) Investment property

Investments in property are those held for rent income or capital gain and are valued at their fair value that is based on market value, that is to say the amount the property is likely to be sold at the date of a transaction. The assessment, when necessary, is made by external professional evaluators. Profits or losses that arise from changes in the real value of investments in property are included in the income statement of the period during which they arise. Repairs and maintenance are recorded as expenses in the year in which they are incurred. Material subsequent expenses are capitalized when they augment the useful economic life of the buildings, their productive capacity or reduce their operation cost. Investment properties are eliminated from the accounts upon sale. All gains or losses resulting from the sale of a property are included in the income statement of the year during which it was sold. Investment property under construction is recorded at cost value as tangible assets till its completion and then is transferred to investment property account.

m) Financial Assets – Loans and Receivables

The financial assets include rights acquired based on concession agreements from the public sector and specifically concern the Study, Financing, Installation, Support of Operation, Maintenance and Technical Administration of a Unified Automatic Ticket Collection System for the companies of OASA Group. The concessionaire will recognize a financial asset to the extent there is a contractual right to receive cash. The amount of the receivable of the concessionaire party is calculated according to IAS 39, is classified under the category "Loans and receivables" and is valued at the non depreciated cost based on the real interest rate. The value of the financial asset increases with the construction and financial costs, plus a construction and operating profit margin, and decreases with the receipts that are made according to the relevant contract.

n) Inventories

Inventories comprise machinery parts and raw and auxiliary materials of Wind Parks. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of raw materials, semi‐finished and finished products is defined based on the weighted average method.

The cost of finished and semi‐finished products includes all the realized expenses in order for them to reach the current point of storing and processing and consists of raw materials, labor costs, general industrial expenses and other costs that directly relate to the purchase of materials. The net realizable value of finished products is their estimated selling price during the Group's normal course of business less the estimated costs for their completion and the estimated necessary costs for their sale. The net realizable value of raw materials is their estimated replacement cost during the normal course of business. A provision for impairment is made if it is deemed necessary.

o) Receivables Accounts

Short‐term receivables are accounted for at their nominal value less the provisions for doubtful receivables, while long‐term receivables are valued at net amortized cost based on the effective interest rate method. At each reporting period all overdue or doubtful receivables are reviewed in order to determine the necessity for a provision for doubtful receivables. The balance of the specific provision for doubtful receivables is appropriately adjusted at each balance sheet date in order to reflect the estimated relevant risks. Each write‐ off of customer balances is debited to the existing provision for doubtful receivables.

p) Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Group considers time deposits and other highly liquid investments with a maturity less than three months, as cash and cash equivalents, as well as time deposits with a maturity over three months, which however include the right for early liquidation with no loss of capital.

For the preparation of the cash flow statements, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, deposits in banks and cash and cash equivalents as defined above.

q) Loan liabilities

All long‐term and short‐term loan liabilities are initially booked at cost, which is the actual value of the received payment less the issuance expenses related to the loan. After the initial recording, interest‐bearing loans, except for loans classified as financial liabilities at fair value through the results, are valued at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. The amortized cost is calculated after taking into account the issuance expenses and the differences between the initial amount and the amount at maturity. Profits and losses are registered in the net profit or loss when the liabilities are written off or impaired and through the amortization procedure.

In case of a subsequent substantial amendment in the terms of an existing loan contract, the Group writes‐off the existing liability, recognizes the new loan liability at fair value and the difference is registered in the results. In contrast, in case of a non‐substantial amendment of the terms of the contract, the loan continues to be recognized at its amortized cost, until that time, and the Group re‐defines the effective interest rate, in order for the amortized cost to equal the present value of the new amended cash flows of the loan. An amendment of loan terms is considered as non‐substantial when the present value of cash flows of the new contract discounted with the initial effective interest rate, does not exceed 10% of the present value of the cash flows of the old loan contract.

The interest on loans is recognized as an expense in the period such arise according to the accrual principle, apart for loan interest that is allocated directly or indirectly to the acquisition or construction of selective tangible assets, which are capitalized during the period that is required to construct the assets and until such are ready for use.

The Group classifies loans with embedded derivatives, whose financial characteristics are not linked closely with the loan agreement, as financial liabilities at fair value through the results during their initial recognition. The Group classifies financial titles it issues in liabilities or equity, depending on the objective of the agreement, regardless of the legal form (shares, preferential shares, bonds etc.). When the group does not have a contractual right to avoid payments to holders of such financial titles, then such titles are classified in liabilities.

r) Provisions for Staff Retirement Indemnities

According to the provisions of L2112/20, the Group reimburses its retiring or dismissed employees, and the amount of the relevant indemnities depends on the years of service, the level of wages and the reason for exit from employment (dismissal or retirement). The liabilities for staff retirement indemnities are calculated using the discounted value of future benefits that have accrued at the end of the year, based on the recognition of the employees' benefit rights during the duration of their expected working years.

The above liabilities are calculated based on the financial and actuarial assumptions and are defined using the projected unit method of actuarial valuation. Net retirement costs for the period are included (a) in the attached income statement and consist of the present value of benefits that have accrued during the year, the interest on the benefits' liability and the cost of prior service (b) the statement of comprehensive income which includes the actuarial profit or loss and any other additional retirement costs. The prior service costs are recognized on a straight‐line basis over the average period during which access to the program's benefits is earned. The liabilities for retirement benefits are not financed. As at the 1st of January 2004 (transition date to IFRS and compilation of initial Balance Sheet) the Group, applying the exemptions provided for by IFRS 1 for the first‐time application of the IFRS, recognized the total actuarial losses that had accumulated as of the 1st of January 2004. During the compilation of subsequent financial statements and until 31/12/2012, the Group, applying the general provisions of IAS 19, followed the "margin" method for the recognition of accumulated actuarial losses/profits.

Actuarial profits and losses were registered as income or expenses when the accumulated actuarial profit or losses for each program separately exceeded 10% of the largest value between the liability of the defined benefit and the actual value of the program's assets. These profits or losses were systematically recorded during the expected average remaining working life of employees participating in the plans.

Since the fiscal year 2013, the Group has adopted the revised IAS 19, according to which, the "margin" method is removed and the effect resulting from recalculations in the current year is required to be recognized as other comprehensive income. It also alters the measurement and presentation of specific cost elements of defined benefits. The net amount in the results is affected by subtracting the expected income on the plan's assets and the cost of interest and their replacement with a net cost of interest based on the net asset or net liability of the defined benefit plan. It increases disclosures, including more information regarding the characteristics of defined benefit plans and the risks involved.

s) Government Pension Plans

The staff of the Group is mainly covered by the main Government Social Security Fund for the private sector (IKA) and which provides pension and medical‐pharmaceutical benefits. Each employee is required to contribute part of his/her monthly salary to the fund, while part of the total contribution is covered by the Group. At the time of retirement, the pension fund is responsible for the payment of retirement benefits to the employees. Consequently, the Group has no legal or constructive obligation for the payment of future benefits according to this plan.

t) Income Tax (Current and Deferred)

The current and deferred taxes are calculated based on the financial statements of each of the companies included in the consolidated financial statements, according to the tax regulation effective in Greece or other tax frameworks under which the foreign subsidiaries operate. Income tax is calculated based on the earnings of each company as such are reformed on the companies' tax reports, on additional income taxes emerging from the Tax Authorities' tax audits and on deferred income taxes based on the enacted tax rates.

Deferred income tax is calculated using the liability method on all temporary differences between the tax base and the book value of assets and liabilities on the balance sheet date. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences.

Deferred tax receivables are recognized for all the exempt temporary differences and transferable tax losses, to the extent that it is likely that there will be available taxable earnings, which will be set against the exempt temporary differences and the transferable unused tax losses.

The deferred tax assets are estimated during each reporting period and are reduced to the degree that it is not considered likely that there will be adequate taxable earnings against which part or the total of receivables from deferred income taxes may be used.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated according to the tax rates that are expected to be in effect during the financial year when the asset will be realized or the liability will be settled, and are based on the tax rates (and tax regulations) that are effective or enacted during the reporting period.

Income tax that relates to items, which have been recognized in other comprehensive income, is directly recorded in other comprehensive income and not in the consolidated income statement.

u) Finance and Operating Leases

Finance leases, which essentially transfer to the Group all the risks and returns related to the leased fixed asset, are capitalized during the inception of the lease based on the leased asset's fair value or, if it is lower, on the present value of the minimal leases. Payments for finance leases are allocated between the financial expenses and the reduction of the financing liability, in order to achieve a fixed interest rate on the remaining portion of the liability. The financial expenses are debited directly to the results. Capitalized leased fixed assets are depreciated with the straight‐line method based on the estimated useful life of the asset. Leases where the lessor maintains all the risks and returns related to ownership of the fixed asset, are recorded as operating leases. The payments of operating leases are recognized as an expense in the income statement on a constant basis for the duration of the lease.

v) Government Grants

Government grants relating to subsidies of tangible fixed assets are recognized when there is reasonable certainty that the grant will be received and all relevant terms will be met. These government grants are recorded in a deferred income account and are transferred to the income statement in equal annual installments based on the expected useful life of the asset that was subsidized, as a reduction to the relevant depreciation expense. When the grant relates to an expense it is recognized, as income during the period deemed necessary to match the grant on a systematic basis with the expenses it is meant to reimburse.

w) Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Receivables

Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is possible that a transfer of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The provisions are reviewed during each reporting period and are adjusted in order to reflect the present value of expenses that are deemed necessary for the settlement of the liability. If the effect of the time value of money is significant, then provisions are calculated by discounting the expected future cash flows with a pre‐tax rate, which reflects the market's current estimations for the time value of money, and wherever considered necessary, the risks related specifically to

the obligation. Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements but are disclosed, unless the probability of an outflow of economic benefits is small. Contingent assets are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements but are disclosed when an inflow of financial benefits is likely.

x) Provision for wind park dismantlement and rehabilitation of environment

The Group forms provisions for the dismantlement of power generators from wind parks and the rehabilitations of environment. These provisions reflect the present value, during the reporting period, of the estimated cost, reduced by the estimated residual value of recoverable materials. The provisions are re‐examined on each reporting date of the statement of financial position and are adjusted in order to reflect the present value of the expense that is expected to be cashed for the settlement of liability for dismantlement and rehabilitation.

The relevant provision is recorded increasingly of the cost value of wind power generators and is depreciated based on the straight line during a 20‐year period in which the contract for the production of energy lasts. The depreciation‐expense of the capitalized expenses for dismantlement and rehabilitation is included in the income statements together with the depreciations of wind parks.

Any changes of estimations regarding the estimated cost or the discount rate are added or deducted respectively from the cost of the asset. The discounting effect of estimated cost is recorded in income statements as interest expense.

y) Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share (EPS) are calculated by dividing net earnings with the average weighted number of common shares that are outstanding during each year, with the exception of the average common shares acquired by the Group as treasury‐shares.

Earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net earnings attributed to shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year.

z) Acquisition of non‐controlling interests

The Group records its transaction with non‐controlling interests as transactions with owners. In case of a minority acquisition in subsidiaries, the possible difference between the acquisition cost and the book value of the non‐controlling interest, is recognized in the statement of changes in equity.

Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedge Accounting

The Group uses derivative financial instruments when applying the hedging policy for cash flow risk emanating from changes in interest rates.

For the purpose of hedge accounting, hedges are classified when:

  • (a) During the opening of the hedging, the hedging relation and the Group's objective in relation to its risk management and strategy to undertake the hedging can be evidenced.
  • (b) The hedging is expected to be fully effective as regards to offsetting changes in cash flows that are attributed to the hedged risk, according to the evidenced risk management strategy for the specific hedge.
  • (c) As regards to hedges of estimated cash flows, the expected transaction with is the underlying of the hedge is highly probably and presents exposure to cash flow risk that may affect the results.

(d) The effectiveness of the hedge is estimated reliably.

(e) The hedge is assessed as fully effective throughout the entire year.

Derivatives that constitute hedging instruments are valued at the end of each reporting period.

Derivatives that do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting, profit or losses that arise from changes in fair value of such are recognized in the period's profit or loss.

Cash Flow Hedge Accounting

For cash flow hedges that meet the criteria for hedge accounting, the proportion of profit or loss from the derivative that is defined as an active hedge, are registered directly in reserves and the proportion defined as inactive hedge is registered in profit and loss. Profit or losses that had been recognized in other comprehensive income and cumulatively in the reserves, are transferred to Profit and Loss in the same period during which the hedge transaction affected the results.

Hedge accounting is suspended when the hedging instrument matures or is sold, terminated or exercised or when the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting. The cumulative amount of profit or losses that had been recognized directly in equity until then remains in the reserves until the hedged item affects Profit and Loss. In case where a hedge transaction is no longer expected to take place, the net cumulative profit or losses that had been registered in reserves are directly transferred to Profit or Loss.

5 INFORMATION REGARDING OPERATING SEGMENTS

An operating sector is a component of an economic entity: a) that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses that concern transactions with other components of the same economic entity) and, b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker of the entity to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess of its performance. The term "chief operating decision maker" defines the function of the Group that is responsible for the allocation of resources and the assessment of the economic entity's operating segments. For the application of IFRS 8, this function is assigned to the Managing Director (Chief Executive Officer).

The economic entity presents separately the information on each operating segment that fulfils certain criteria of characteristics and exceeds certain quantitative limits.

The amount of each element of the segment is that which is presented to the chief operating decision maker with regard to the allocation of resources to the segment and the evaluation of its performance.

The above information is presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position, comprehensive income and cash flows according to the IFRS, whereas previously recorded operating segments –as presented in the financial statements of the previous financial year‐ require no modifications. The Group recognizes the following operating segments that must be reported, whereas no other segments exist that could be incorporated in the "other segments" category.

Construction: Refers , almost exclusively, to contracts for the construction of technical projects.

Electricity from renewable sources of energy: Refers, mainly, to the electricity production from wind generators (wind parks), photovoltaic parks and hydroelectric plants.

Trading of electric energy : refers to the trading of electric energy

Concessions: concerns the construction and operation of infrastructure and public sector projects in exchange for the long‐term operation of the above projects through the provision of services to the public.

In line with the application of the revised standard, the Group allocates –whenever such allocation is not possible to be made directly‐ all assets and liabilities per segment as well as the corresponding income and expenses for the period, such as financial results and income tax.

Apart from the income tax receivables that can be allocated directly to the corresponding segment, the allocation of the income tax expense, liabilities and other receivables is based on the financial results of each segment for the period.

In Concessions and Rights it is recorded the cost of obtaining licenses for the intervention and use rights of forestry land where wind farms are located. Furthermore, in the respective account it is recorded as well the value of the licenses obtained by the Group during the acquisition of the companies. From the reductions of the Group's specific account for the year 2016, an amount of € 1,315 relates to the reduction in the acquisition price of companies which took place in previous years.

During the year 2015, a Wind Park sub‐station with acquisition cost of €1,839 and accumulated depreciation of €894 was transferred to DEDDIE at no cost. The Group withholds the exclusive right to utilize the sub‐station and therefore it continues to recognize the sub‐station in its fixed assets. Due to the change of the type of rights possessed by the Group on the particular asset (from full ownership to utilization right), the non depreciated cost of the sub‐station was reclassified from the category of Tangible Assets to the category of Intangible Assets.

7 TANGIBLE FIXEDASSETS

Tangible fixed assets and their movement for the periods from 1 January to 31 December 2016 and 2015, in the accompanying financial statements, are analyzed as follows:

The account "Technological and mechanical equipment" includes Wind Park generators that have been collateralized at banks as security against long‐term loans.

The categories "Land‐Plots", "Buildings and installations" and "Technological and mechanical equipment", include fixed assets with a net book value of € 75,283 and € 18,959, during December 31st 2016 and 2015 respectively, which refer to Installations of Distribution Networks constructed by the Company, and as stipulated by the agreements with DEDDIE, such are transferred to DEDDIE, free of charge, during the commissioning of each Wind Park. However, and after their transfer, such installations will continue to serve the purpose for which they were constructed, namely the sale of produced electric energy to DEDDIE and LAGIE, remaining at the exclusive use of the Company and therefore, the net book cost during the transfer date, will continue to depreciate, as previously, until the 20‐year depreciation period of the Wind Parks is fulfilled.

In reductions / write –offs of year 2015 of the item "Assets under Construction" there is amount of € 3,481 concerning the accumulated construction cost of a wind park. The particular asset will not be constructed and will not be placed in operation. The above amount was written‐off affecting the results of the previous year.

The policy of the Group is to minimize its exposure to cash flow interest rate risk as regards to long‐term financing for which the Group applies hedge accounting. The result from the valuation is recognized in the account "Income/expenses from cash flow hedges" in the statement of comprehensive income.

In September 2016, the Group entered into two derivatives, one collar derivative on the trading date of 23.09.2016 and one swaption derivative. For the collar derivative the effective date will be on 1/1/2018 whereas for the swaption the effective date will be on 31/12/2022.

The Group has entered into these derivatives with the ultimate purpose of using them to hedge the risk of cash flow variability in the energy for the Group's investment in a Wind Park in the USA, through its subsidiary Fluvanna Wind Energy LLCs. This particular subsidiary constructs and will operate a wind park of 150 MW‐ capacity in West Texas of the United States.

The Group examined all the elements and requirements of IAS 39 in order to use the cash flow hedging accounting. The requirements of the standard were met within the first quarter of 2017 and as a result cash flow hedging accounting will be used from that date and onwards while until 31.12.2016 the change in the fair value of the derivatives, of €1,069 was recognized in the income statement.

The fair value of the collar on 31.12.2016 implied a liability of €95 whereas the swaption an asset of €1,219.

19 PROVISIONS FOR STAFF RETIREMENT INDEMNITIES

According to Greek labor law, each employee is entitled to a lump‐sum indemnity in case of dismissal or retirement. The amount of the indemnity depends on the length of service with the company and the employee's wages the day he/she is dismissed or retires. Employees that resign or are justifiably dismissed are not entitled to such an indemnity. The indemnity payable in case of retirement in Greece is equal to 40% of the indemnity calculated in case of dismissal. According to the practices in the countries where the subsidiaries of the Group are operating in, staff indemnity programs are usually not funded.

The estimations for staff indemnity liabilities were determined through an actuarial study. The following tables present an analysis of the net expenditure for the relevant provisions recorded in the consolidated results and comprehensive income for the financial year ended on the 31st of December 2016 and the movement of the relevant provision accounts for staff indemnities presented in the attached consolidated Statement of Financial Position for the year ended on December 31st 2016.

The amount of the approved and non‐received grants for Group is included in "Prepayments and other receivables". Such grants were recognized based on the Group Management's certainty that all the requirements to receive such are regularly met and eventually the amounts will be received with the completion of the relevant investments.

The aforementioned grants are amortized in income only by the portion that corresponds to fully completed and operating wind parks.

In the year 2016, due to the cancellation of certain wind farms' construction or the time expiry of decisions for inclusion of others whose construction has not been cancelled, subsidies were de‐recognized amounting to €68,040 (out of which €60,102 had been collected in previous years). The amount of € 60,102 was reclassified in the account "accrued and other short‐term liabilities", whereas the amount of € 7,938 was de‐recognized from the account "Grants" as well as from the account "Prepayments and Other Receivables" (note 13).

22 FINANCIAL LIABILITIES

In the USA, TERNA ENERGY Group, in order to take advantage of the tax benefits provided by local law as much as possible, entered a transaction during the financial year of 2012 where the counterparty company paid the amount of €49,693 in order to receive the right to receive, mainly, cash and tax losses (tax equity investment).

The control is based on a contractual agreement with the company MetLife, which contributed capital as Tax Equity Investor (TEI) and is fully consolidated. According to the agreement between the two parties, TEI contributed capital in exchange for 50% of the corporate shares (membership interests), the contractual rights of which define that the TEI will receive 99% of the tax losses, as well as a certain percentage of the net cash flows until the return on the invested capital (as it was defined in the relevant agreement) is achieved.

The relevant membership interests have been recognized as financial liability according to IAS 32. There are no contractual obligations of the parent company TERNA ENERGY and its subsidiaries for the provision of any form of financial support in case of economic difficulty or inability for the repayment of obligations by Terna Energy USA Holding Corporation, including the contractual liability to the TEI.

The basic characteristics of the transaction are as follows:

‐ Regardless of the participation stake in the share capital held by the counterparty company, TERNA ENERGY group maintains control of management of the wind parks and therefore such are fully consolidated in the group's financial statements.

‐ The counterparty company receives a significant portion of the earnings and tax losses created from such wind parks until such achieve a predefined (during the initial investment) rate of return.

‐ The counterparty company remains a shareholder of the wind parks until the predefined rate of return on their investment is achieved.

‐ When the return on the investment of the counterparty company reaches the predefined level, the Group has the option to acquire the rights of the counterparty company in the return of the investment.

‐ The return of the investment of the counterparty company, depends exclusively on the performance of the wind parks. Even though TERNA ENERGY group commits to operate such parks in the best possible manner and takes all possible measures to ensure their smooth operations, it is not obliged to pay cash to the counterparty company over the amount required to achieve the predefined return on their investment.

The Group, based on the objective of such transactions, classifies the initial investment of the counterparty company as a "Financial liability" in the consolidated statement of financial position. The financial liability is measured at net book cost with the method of the effective rate.

28 INCOME TAX

According to Greek tax legislation the tax rate corresponded to 29% for the years 2016 and 2015. The effective tax rate differs from the nominal. The calculation of the effective tax rate is affected by several factors, the most important of which are the non‐exemption of specific expenses, differences from the use of depreciation rates that emerge between the fixed asset's useful life and the use of rates stipulated by L. 4110/2013, and the capability of companies to create tax‐exempt discounts and tax‐exempt reserves.

Income tax in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, is analyzed as follows:

The income tax statement is submitted on an annual basis but the profits or losses declared remain provisional until the tax authorities audit the taxpayer's books and records and issue a final audit report. In this case it is possible that the tax authorities may impose additional taxes and surcharges.

The tax losses, to the extent that such are accepted by the tax authorities, may offset future profit for a period of five years from the year such emerged.

The parent company, TERNA ENERGY S.A. is tax‐audited up to the fiscal year 2008 included. On 28th December 2015, the Group received an audit call concerning the ordinary tax audit from the pertinent tax authorities for the financial years 2009 and 2010. The audit has commenced and is expected to complete within the year 2017. The taxes which may potentially arise following the above audit from the tax authorities will not have any material effect on the financial statements, since the Company has already formed adequate provisions.

During the preparation date of the accompanying financial statements, the non‐audited tax years (including fiscal year 2016) of the Group's companies are presented in Note 4.

For the financial years 2011, 2012 and 2013, the Company has been tax audited according to the Decision 1159/26/7/2011 whereas for the years 2014 and 2015 according to article 65A paragraph 1 Law 4174/2013. The finalization of the above audits is pending from the Ministry of Finance. For the year 2016, the Company is subject to the tax audit of Certified Auditors Accountants stipulated by the provisions of article 65A paragraph 1 of Law 4174/2013. This audit is underway and the relevant tax certificate is expected to be issued following the release of the 2016 financial statements. The particular audit is not expected to materially affect the tax obligations already recorded in the Financial Statements.

Deferred tax

Deferred income tax is calculated on all the temporary tax differences between the book value and the tax value of the assets and liabilities.

The Company and Group maintain tax‐exempt reserves and reserves taxed with specific way amounting to €11,992 and €30,912, respectively, which in case of distribution or capitalization will be taxed under the current tax rate. In the immediate future the Group does not plan to distribute or capitalize this reserve.

The deferred income tax is calculated using the expected tax rate at the time in which the tax receivable/ liability matures:

34 AIM AND POLICIES OF RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group is exposed to many financial risks such as market risk (volatility in exchange rates, interest rates, market prices etc.), credit risk and liquidity risk. The risk management plan aims to eliminate the negative effect of these risks on financial results of the group as these effects are the results of the uncertainty in financial markets and the changes in costs and sales.

The risk management policy is undertaken by the treasury of the Group and the procedure is as follows:

  • Evaluation of risks related to Group's activities and operations.
  • Planning of the methodology and choice of the necessary financial products for the reduction of risk.
  • Execution/application, in accordance with the approved procedure by the management, of the risk management plan.

The financial means of the Group are mainly deposits in banks, overdraft facility by banks, short‐term financial products of high liquidity traded in the money market, trade debtors and creditors, loans to and from subsidiaries, related companies and joint ventures, equity investments, dividends payable and liabilities arising from leasing.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK

Foreign exchange risk refers to the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will be subject to fluctuation due to changes in exchange rates.

This kind of risk may arise for the Group from transactions performed in foreign currency, with countries outside the Euro zone, and with countries that do not have a currency pegged to the euro. Such transactions mainly concern purchases of fixed assets and inventories, trade sales, investments in financial assets, loans, as well as net investments in foreign units. The Group operates through its subsidiaries in Greece, Cyprus, Eastern Europe and North America, and thus it may be exposed to foreign exchange risk.

The Group's current foreign activities concern projects for the production of energy and the trading of electric energy.

In relation to projects in countries such as Bulgaria, the contractual receivables and liabilities are either in euro or in local currency (which is pegged to the euro) and thus exposure to foreign exchange risk is limited.

However, the development of energy projects and the trading of electric energy in other countries, such as Poland, the USA, Serbia and FYROM where the local currency fluctuates against the euro, may lead to foreign exchange differences and to foreign exchange risk exposure from changes in the exchange rate of the US Dollar (USD), Polish Zloty (PLN), Serbian dinar (RSD) and the dinar of FYROM against the euro. The Group uses natural hedging methods for foreign exchange risk in countries where it operates by borrowing partly in local currency, thus hedging foreign exchange risks from its receivables.

To manage this category of risk, the Group's Management and risk management department ensure that receivables (income) and liabilities (expenses) are as most as possible in euro or in currencies pegged to the euro, or in the same currency in order to offset the foreign exchange risk.

SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS OF INTEREST RATE RISK

The Group's policy is to minimize its exposure to interest rate risk as regards to long‐term financing. In the context of this policy, the long‐term loans received by the Group are either under fixed interest rates or are hedged for interest rate risk for almost their total duration. Therefore, 23.7% of the Group's long‐term debt is under fixed interest rates, 36.5% under floating interest rates that have been hedged with derivatives that swap future fixed interest rate payments against the receipt of floating interest rate payments, whereas 39.8% under floating interest rates linked either to euribor or to wibor (Notes 17 & 18).

The Group's short‐term debt is under floating interest rates (Note 25). It is noted that it is Group policy to convert short‐term debt to long‐term when the Wind Park, whose construction is being financed, has been completed. The balance of the Group's short‐term debt on 31.12.2016 amounts to € 5,396 thousand.

The following table presents the sensitivity of the results towards the Group's short‐term debt and deposits, in case of an interest rate change of +20% –20% (2015: +/‐20% as well). The changes in interest rates are estimated to be in line with the recent market conditions which until today are stable as compared to the previous year.

Results after taxes – Group (107) 107 (261) 261

The Group is not exposed to other interest rate risks.

ANALYSIS OF MARKET RISK

The Group is not exposed to market risk on its financial assets.

ANALYSIS OF CREDIT RISK

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty in a financial instrument will cause loss to the other by failing to pay the relevant liability.

The Group continuously controls its receivables and it incorporates the resulting information in its credit control.

The entire sum of the energy sector's receivables concerns the broader public sector in the domestic market (including LAGIE and DEDDIE) as well as abroad, and the same applies for the largest part of the receivables from the construction sector.

The Group, traditionally, by nature of its operations, is not exposed to significant credit risk from trade receivables, apart from possible overdue payments from LAGIE which can been reduced following the adoption of Law 4254/14.

The credit risk for the cash and cash equivalents and other receivables is negligible as the counterparties of the relevant transactions are trustworthy banks with high quality capital structure, the State or companies belonging in the broader public sector or large business groups.

The Group's management considers that all the above financial assets for which all the necessary impairments have been made, are of high credit quality.

The amounts that represent the largest exposure to this risk at the end of the current and the comparative period, are the current value of such accounts in the respective periods. The largest credit risk of the company is the possibility of default of the counterparty.

On 31/12/2016 there are no guarantees and credit enhancements for security against credit risk of the above receivables, both for the Company and for the Group.

On 31/12/2016 there are no bad debts, both for the Company and the Group.

ANALYSIS OF LIQUIDITY RISK

TERNA ENERGY Group manages its liquidity needs by carefully monitoring the balance of long‐term financial liabilities as well as payments that take place on a daily basis. The liquidity needs are monitored at different time zones, on a daily and weekly basis, as well as on the basis of a moving 30‐day period. The liquidity needs for the next 6 months and the next year are defined monthly.

The company maintains cash and cash equivalents in banks to cover its liquidity needs for periods up to 30 days. Capital for mid‐term liquidity needs are released from the company's term deposits.

The maturity of the financial liabilities on 31 December 2016 for the TERNA ENERGY Group, is analyzed as follows:

31.12.2016

FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES AT FAIR VALUE

The derivative financial instruments and the securities held by the Group in its trading portfolio constitute the sole financial instruments which as of 31/12/2016 are measured at fair value. The other comprehensive (losses) / income recognized directly in the Equity of year 2016 include an amount of € 873 (loss) that has been recorded in the cash flow hedging reserves.

The Group has adopted the revision of IFRS 7 with regard to the hierarchy of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value as follows:

  • Level 1: Market prices in an active market
  • Level 2: Prices from valuation models which are based on observable data of the market
  • Level 3: Prices from valuation models which are not based on observable data of the market

The financial derivatives are included in level 2, as the measurement of their fair value is performed with reference to the market yield curves.

The securities are included in level 1, as the measurement of their fair value is performed with reference to prices determined in the Athens Exchange, Greece.

35 POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The aims of the Group regarding the management of its capital is as follows:

  • to ensure the ability of the Group to continue its activity (going‐concern) and
  • to secure a satisfactory return for its shareholders by pricing products and services according to their level of risk.
  • to fulfill its contraction obligations as regards to specific debt agreements.
  • to ensure it meets the minimum requirements set by law regarding the undertaking of contractual constructions.

The Group defines the level of capital in proportion to the risk of its activities, it monitors the developments of the economic environment and their effect on the risk characteristics, and it manages the capital structure (relation of debt to capital) with the adjustment of the amount and maturity of debt, the issue of new shares or the return of capital to shareholders, with the adjustment of the dividend and the sale of individual or a group of assets.

The Group finances the construction of Wind Parks and other projects through a mix of equity, bank debt and government grants. For this purpose, the Group monitors the ratio of Bank Debt to Total Employed Capital. Total Employed Capital is defined as total equity, bank debt, titles issued in the context of the tax equity investment (Note 22), the repayment of which follows the servicing of the primary debt of the respective Wind Parks and is applied only to the extent that the required performance is achieved from their operation, and government grants decreased by the amount of cash that has not been blocked or being suspended for any reason.

The ratio at the end of 2016 and 2015 was as follows:

Amounts in € thousand 31.12.2016 31.12.2015
Bank debt 667,856 486,072
Total equity 355,294 346,781
Bank debt 667,856 486,072
Financial liabilities from secondary titles 48,554 49,388
Grants 159,156 236,239
Minus: Cash and Deposits (113,355) (139,790)
Capital 1,117,441 978,690
Bank Debt / Total Employed Capital 60% 50%

The Group has satisfied all its significant contractual obligations that emanate from loan agreements.

36 EXISTING COLLATERAL ASSETS

37 SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING THE PERIOD

The completion of construction and the full operation of a Wind Park with capacity of 73.2 MW in Ai Giorgis Island of Municipality of Lavreotiki took place in 2016.

Finally, the Hellenic Competition Commission (HCC), within the framework of its competencies, conducted an ex officio investigation for a restrictive cartel in the competition of the public‐projects market. This survey examined almost all Hellenic Construction Companies ‐ including our Company ‐ as well as a significant number of foreign companies.

Within the context of the aforementioned investigation, it was mentioned as a possible participant, in only one case, a twenty‐year company, which in the distant past merged with our Company under transformation procedures.

As a result of the aforementioned event, our Company, on the basis of article 25a of Law 3959/2011 as well as the resolution no. 628/2016 of the Plenary Session of the HCC, submitted, on the grounds of an obvious corporate interest and short settlement with a view to the reasonable possible discharge, a request to be subject to the envisaged settlement dispute procedures, namely in a conciliation procedure.

As a result of the above request, the settlement procedure is in the process of being fully completed, and after the issuance of the relevant recommendation by the Hellenic Competition Commission and the submission by the Company of the required unconditional and irrevocable commitment, declaration, acceptance and resignation, the relevant decision is expected.

Further to the foregoing and always in the context of confidentiality which, in accordance with the applicable provisions, covers any relevant information, we can state that according to our submitted statements and the issued Recommendation, does not arise or is not being undertaken any risk of breaches for our Company.

38 SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

On 24/02/2017 our Company was notified of the Settlement Initiative by HCC. As it has already been analyzed, an irrevocable statement was submitted for the commitment and inclusion in the Dispute Settlement Procedure. Based on this statement does not arise or is not being undertaken any risk of breaches regarding our Company.

39 CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

During the execution of projects, the Group may face contingent legal claims by third parties. According to the Management, as well as the legal counselor of the Group there are no cases under litigation or arbitration which could impact negatively the financial position fo the Group.
