On July 30th 2020, the Board of Directors of Vassiliko Cement Works Public Company Ltd approved the financial results of the Group for the first half of the year that ended 30 June 2020.
The restrictive measures taken by the authorities due to the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the operations of the Company and the financial results of the first half of the year. As a result, revenues for the first half of 2020 decreased to €44.512.000 compared to €53.996.000 for the corresponding period of 2019, which in turn had an impact on the overall profitability. The profit for the first six months of 2020 was €4.858.000 versus €10.411.000 for the fist half of 2019.
The management of the Company has implemented a crisis management plan and is taking additional measures to improve the operational cost structure and liquidity in response to the uncertainty of the market conditions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The transactions with related parties for the first half of 2020 are presented on note 4 of the consolidated interim financial statements.
The main risks and uncertainties faced by the Group are presented on note 5 of the consolidated interim financial statements.
The construction industry resumed operations in May, following a lockdown of 40 days. Some important sectors of the economy are still suffering from the consequences of the restrictive measures and it is not clear yet as to the negative impact that these may have on the domestic or the world economy or on the demand in the construction industry in the months to come.

(3) the cash flow forecasts of the Group and the assessment of impairment of other financial and non financial assets.

Considering the above uncertainties the Group's Management is taking measures to limit exposure to certain risks and mitigate any possible negative consequences.
Other risks and uncertainties faced by the Group are detailed in note 35 of the Annual Report and Financial Statements for 2019.
