Taxation
The company has finalized its tax obligations up to the year 2009.
The last tax audit was for the years 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 and it was completed in 2011. The
additional taxes were due to expenses which were not considered by the tax auditors as tax allowable.
Nevertheless, the management has its own reservations. The additional taxes per year are as follows:
The sum of the tax obligations of 2.146.407 euros was paid in full in 36 installments up to 31/12/2013.
The nature of the expenses which were considered by the tax authorities as non tax allowable allows to
management the expectation that similar expenses cannot be considered as basis for additional taxes for
the open tax years as well. Therefore no provision has been made as contingent liability for the open tax
years.
For the periods 01/01/2011 to 31/12/2011, 01/01/2012 to 31/12/2012 and 01/01/2013 to 31/12/2013 tax
audit has been conducted by the auditors in accordance with Article 82 § 5 of Law 2238 and tax
certificate has been issued without qualification.
For the period 01/01/2014 to 31/12/2014 the tax audit from the auditors is in progress and until the
signing date of the financial statements it had not been completed.
However the tax certificate is expected to be issued without qualification.

B. Description of Major risks and uncertainties
Market – Foreign currency
The company’s activities are mainly in the domestic market. The fluctuations between currency exchange
rate have effect only at the acquisition of foreign programme which is expressed in currency other than
euro. The company does not enter into any derivative financial instrument to manage its exposure since it
considers that the risk is immaterial.
The following table gives an indication of the impacts of dollar exchange rate fluctuations on the
company’s earnings and equity.

The above mentioned calculations are based on the assumptions that all variables are unchanged except
of the fluctuation of euro-dollar exchange rates.
Interest rate risk
The company is exposed to interest rate risk as it borrows long-term funds at floating interest rate. The
risk is managed by the group by the use of interest rate swap contracts. These hedging actions are being
evaluated periodically in order to estimate their effectiveness.
The following table presents an indication of the impacts of interest rate fluctuations on the company’s
earnings and equity.

The above mentioned calculations are based on the assumptions that the company’s borrowing is the
same in both nature and sizes as that of 2014 and 2013.
Interest Rate Swap Contracts
Through the use of Interest Rate Swap Contracts the company intends to offset differences between fixed
and floating rate based on notional amounts. These contracts provide the entity the ability to minimize the
consequences of interest rate fluctuation in the loan cash flows.
The fair value of these derivatives is calculated at the date where the financial statements are issued as the
present value of the future cash flows, via market observations and estimates on the expected
materialization of interest rates.
Accrued interest on derivatives is paid on a 3month basis and is charged to the Statement of
Comprehensive income.
On 30/12/2014 two cash flow hedging contracts existed of notional amount of € 50.000.000 of maturity
up to 8/12/2015.
The two Interest Rate Swap Contracts cover the 50% of the debenture loan.
The debenture loan carries a floating interest rate, based on 6month Euribor plus margin 6%.
The hedging applies on the 6month Euribor interest rate.

The above swap contracts on 31/12/2014 have been terminated creating revenue of 219.000 euros.
Accrued interest on derivatives is paid on a 3month basis and is charged to the Statement of
Comprehensive income (Finance costs note 9).

Credit risk management
Credit risk refers to the possibility of non-collectability of trade receivables generated from the normal
activities of the Company:
In the year 2014, although the recession and lack of liquidity still holds, the credit risk has decreased.
The doubtful receivables, pertaining to long outstanding checks receivable and outstanding current
advertising balances for companies who face financial difficulties amounted to 8,5 million euro in 2011,
2,8 million euro in 2012 and 0,48 thousands in 2013 and 0,005 million euro in 2014.
Nevertheless, the Company has taken the following precautions and adopted the following policy to
minimize the credit risk as follows:
- continuous evaluation of the customers credit rating
- decrease in the credit period granted for receivables
- partial guarantee provided by the customers
- partial insurance cover of receivables
Liquidity risk management
The company manages the liquidity risk firstly through managing credit period granted to customers and
credit period given by suppliers. Additionally it manages liquidity risk through managing cash resources
available (cash and banks), and the availability of bank credit facilities if the need arises. The continuous
monitoring of budget performance and the actions taken in case of fluctuations between budget and actual
ensures proper balance of cash inflows and outflows.
The tables below are indicative of the settlement dates of the liabilities and receivables of the company
and of the group.

Maturity of the outstanding debtors’ balances is grouped within 12 months and there are no other material
outstanding balances beyond 6 months.
On 31/12/2014 the total of receivables that were characterized as doubtful were:

TELETYPOS TELEVISION PROGRAMMES S.A.
“MEGA CHANNEL - GREECE”
Board of Directors’ Annual Report for the period January 1
st to December
31st 2014
Towards the doubtful receivables mentioned above, a provision of € 17.318.518 has been created.
Apart from the doubtful debts there are no other receivables on delay.
Working Capital
Given what is mentioned above, and the possibility of the continuing recession and prevailing public
policy. It is forecasted that in the forthcoming 12 months the working capital would not be sufficient for
the company to operate. The deficiency in the working capital would be covered through an increase in
the share capital and the better management of receivable and payables (if needed).
Uncertainties faced
The company operates in an environment that is characterized by continuous monitoring from the
Government and a strict legal environment. The product generated is subject to social evaluation criteria
and the competition is high. There is uncertainty regarding the level of broadcasting which is a major
factor relating to income generated. The company has history of a number of years and is well established
and therefore the risk in this area is low.

“MEGA CHANNEL – GREECE”
We have audited the accompanying financial statements and the consolidated financial statements of

the statement of financial position as at 31 December, 2014, the 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 notes.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards that have been adopted by the European
Union and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of
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 financial statements based on our audit. We
conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that
we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
Page 26
In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s
preparation and fair presentation of the 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 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 aforementioned financial statements and the consolidated financial statements give a
true and fair view of the financial position of TΕLETYPOS TELEVISION PROGRAMMES S.A.
“MEGA CHANNEL - GREECE” as of 31 December, 2014 and of its financial performance and its cash
flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards that have
been adopted by the European Union.
Emphasis of matter
We draw your attention to the note 1. “General Information” on the financial statements where the
management refers to the contingency of working capital deficiency and the measures which they take to
prevent it. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainly that may cast significant
doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
We have not qualified our opinion in respect of the above issue.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Issues
a) Included within the Directors’ Report is the Corporate Governance declaration which contains the
information required by Paragraph 3d, Article 43a of Law 2190/1920.

1. General Information (cont.)
Going Concern
Management evaluates the effect of accumulated losses on cash liquidity of the entity in
conjunction with any overdue instalments of the debenture loan, a fact that implies a material
uncertainty which may cast a significant doubt over the entity’s ability to continue as a going
concern, and the entity has adopted measures which will enable the entity to continue as a
going concern. In the course of negotiations of the restructuring of loans the company has
obtained the opinion of an independent financial advisor on strategic planning (independent
business review) and based on this, the company negotiates with the banks. The progress in
negotiations up until now enables the company to believe in a favourable outcome, along
with the expectation of the country’s financial stability, the company has prepared their
financial statements based on the going concern assumption.

(Expressed in Euro)
2. Adoption of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards
2.1 New and amended standards adopted by the Group / the Company
The Group / The Company has adopted the following new and amended IFRSs, as adopted by the
European Union, as of 1 January 2014:
a. IFRS 10, ‘Consolidated Financial Statements’, is effective for accounting periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2014. The standard establishes the principles for the
presentation and preparation of consolidated financial statements when an entity controls one
or more other entities. The new standard provides extensive guidance on applying the
principle of control, which then governs the consolidation of an entity. The standard sets out
the accounting requirements for the preparation of consolidated financial statements, which
are unchanged from those that are required by the current IAS 27, ‘Consolidated and Separate
Financial Statements’. However IAS 27 has been amended to conform with IFRS 10, and
will only apply to separate financial statements when IFRS 10 is applied. The Group/ the
Company has not evaluated the full extent of the impact that the standard will have on its
financial statements.
b. IFRS 11, ‘Joint Arrangements’, is effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1
January 2014. The standard applies to all entities that are a party to a joint arrangement and
will replace IAS 31, ‘Interest in Joint Ventures’. The accounting treatment is dependent on
the type of joint arrangement, which is determined by considering the rights and obligations
of the investor.
c. IFRS 12, ‘Disclosures of Interests in Other Entities’, is effective for accounting periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2014. The standard requires disclosure of information on the nature
of, and risks associated with, interests in other entities; and the effects of those interests on the
primary financial statements. The disclosures required relate to interests in subsidiaries, joint
arrangements, associates and unconsolidated structured entities. The standard is unlikely to have a
material effect on the Group/ the Company.
d. IAS 32 (amendment), ‘Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities’. The IAS 32
amendment clarifies the existing offsetting requirements and therefore is unlikely to have any
impact on the group. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1
January 2014.

2. Adoption of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (cont.)
2.2 Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards that are not yet
effective and have not been adopted early by the Group /the Company
The following standards and amendments to existing standards have been published and are
mandatory for accounting periods beginning after 1 January 2014, but which have not been
adopted early by the Group/ the Company :
a. IFRS 9, ‘Financial Instruments’, had an effective date for accounting periods beginning on
or after 1 January 2018. However, the standard since it was originally issued in November
2009, has undergone subsequent amendments, in October 2009, December 2011 and
November 2013. The November 2013 amendment removed the effective date, which will be
added once the standard has been finalised. Currently IFRS 9 outlines the recognition and
measurement of financial assets, financial liabilities and the derecognition criteria for
financial assets. Financial assets are to be measured either at amortised cost or fair value
through profit and loss, with an irrevocable option on initial recognition to recognise some
equity financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. A financial asset
currently can only be measured at amortised cost if the Group has a business model to hold
the asset to collect contractual cash flows and the cash flows arise on specific dates and are
solely for payment of principal and interest on the principal outstanding. On adoption of the
standard the Group/ the Company will have to redetermine the classification of its financial
assets specifically for available-for-sale and held-to-maturity financial assets.
Most financial liabilities will continue to be carried at amortised cost, however, some
financial liabilities will be required to be measured at fair value through profit and loss (for
example derivatives) with changes in the liabilities’ credit risk to be recognised in other
comprehensive income.
The derecognition principles of IAS 39, ‘Financial Instrument: Recognition and
Measurement’ have been transferred to IFRS 9. There is unlikely to be an impact on the
Group/ the Company from this section of the standard when it is applied.
The hedge accounting requirements issued in November 2013, have been liberalised from that
allowed previously. The requirements will be based on whether an economic hedge is in
existence, with less restriction to prove whether a relationship will be effective than current
requirements.
The Group/the Company has not evaluated the full extent of the impact that the standard will
have on its financial statements. However the standard has not been EU endorsed.
b. IAS 19 (amendment), ‘Defined Benefit Plans - Employee Contributions’ , is effective for
periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014. The amendment simplifies the accounting
treatment of contributions received from employees or third parties for defined benefit plans.
The accounting treatment depends on whether the contributions are independent of the
number of years of employee service. If the contributions are independent for example,
employee contributions that are calculated according to a fixed percentage of salary, the
contributions may be recognised as a reduction in the service cost in the period in which the
related service is rendered. If the contribution is linked to years of service the contribution is
recognised as part of the gross benefit attributed to the employee.
The Group/ the Company has not evaluated the full extent of the impact that the amendment
will have on its financial statements.

2. Adoption of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (cont.)
2.2 Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards that are not yet effective and
have not been adopted early by the Group /the Company (cont.)
c. IAS 28 and IFRS 10 (amendment), ‘Sale or Contribution of Assets between an investor
and its associate or joint venture’, are effective for periods beginning on or after 1
January 2016. The amendment requires on the transfer of an asset that is a business in a
downstream transaction that the group recognise the gain or loss on the transfer in full.
On transfer of an asset that is not a business, the investor recognises a partial gain or loss
based on the group’s unrelated interest in the associate or joint venture.
Consistently IFRS 10 has been amended that the full gain or loss is not recognised when a
subsidiary is transferred that does not meet the definition of a business.
The Group has not evaluated the full extent of the impact that the amendment will have on its
financial statements.
d. IAS 16 & IAS 38 (amendments), ‘Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation
and Amortisation’, is effective for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016. The
amendment clarifies that a deprecation method based on revenue is not an appropriate
method in determining a pattern in which the assets future economic benefits are
consumed. The Group has not as yet evaluated the full extent of the impact that the
amendment will have on its financial statements.
e. IAS 16 & IAS 41 (amendments), ‘Agriculture: Bearer Plants’, is effective for periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2016. The amendment provides a definition of bearer
plants which are scoped out of IAS 41. Instead bearer plants would fall to be within the
scope of IAS 16. Bearer plants are broadly those which are used in the production or
supply of agricultural produce over more than one period and are unlikely to be sold as
agricultural produce. The amendment is unlikely to have a material impact on the Group
as current agricultural activities do not involve bearer plants.
f. IFRS 11 (amendment), ‘Accounting for acquisitions of interests in joint operations’, is
effective prospectively for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016. The
amendments clarifies that a joint operator that acquires an asset or group of assets in a
joint operation that represents a business in accordance with IFRS 3, applies the
principles in IFRS 3 in accounting for business combinations to the acquisition. This will
result in separate recognition of goodwill if any arises on the acquisition. If the asset or
group of assets acquired does not constitute a business the principles of IFRS 3 are not
applied.
The amendment also clarifies that a joint operator that increases their interest in an
existing joint operation in which the operator retains joint control, does not remeasure the
previously held interest in the joint operation.
The amendment is unlikely to have an impact on the Group on application, but will do if
the Group acquires a joint operation.

2. Adoption of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (cont.)
2.2 Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards that are not yet effective and
have not been adopted early by the Group /the Company (cont.)
g. IFRS 15, ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’, is effective for periods beginning on
or after 1 January 2017. The standard has been developed to provide a comprehensive set
of principles in presenting the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash
flows arising from a contract with a customer. The standard is based around five steps in
recognising revenue:
1) Identify the contract with the customer
2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract
3) Determine the transaction price
4) Allocate the transaction price
5) Recognise revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied
The standard also provides specific principles to apply, when there is a contract
modification, accounting for contract costs and accounting for refunds and warranties.
On application of the standard the disclosures are likely to increase. The standard
includes principles on disclosing the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue
and cash flows arising from contracts with customers, by providing qualitative and
quantitative information.
The Group has not as yet evaluated the full extent of the impact that the standard will
have on its financial statements.
h. IAS 1 (amendment), ‘Disclosure initiative’, is effective for periods beginning on or after
1 January 2016. The amendment seeks to clarify a number of disclosure requirements,
that cover:
the disclosure of significant accounting policies
the application of materiality to financial statements
presentation of sub-totals
information to be presented in the other comprehension section of the performance
statement
the structure of the financial statements
The Group does not believe the amendment will have a material effect on the financial
statements, however the Group will consider the areas addressed in the amendment to aid
clear and concise reporting. The amendment has not been EU endorsed.

3. Significant Accounting Policies
3.1. Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International
Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union.
3.2. Historical cost convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention,
except for derivatives and stocks which are measured at fair value.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the parent
company and its subsidiary, which is controlled directly by the parent company.
Control is achieved when the parent company has the power to govern the financial
and operating policy of the entity that is investing in so as to obtain benefits from its
activities.
Consolidated financial statements are based on separate companies’ financial
statements which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS and certain
accounting principles followed by the Group. All group’s companies have the same
reporting date.
All the intra-company transactions and intra-company balances have been eliminated
on consolidation.
Since the parent company holds 100% of the participation on the subsidiary’s share
capital no minority interest is affected.
3.3. Investments in associates
Participations in affiliated companies are valuated at acquisition costs plus any other
cost.
Affiliate companies are these in which the parent company holds a share of up to
49% without exercising control or having a significant influence.
Provisions for impairments of the investment value are made only when there is
significant evidence of substantial impairment. The non realised gains or losses that
are due to changes in appropriate value are included in the shareholder’s equity after
taking account the taxation effect.
3.4. Foreign currency transactions and balances
a. Transactions in foreign currencies and presentation
The company’s parent and consolidated accounts are presented in the country’s
currency which is the functional currency of the company. The consolidated
accounts are presented in euros which is the parent’s company functional
currency. From 1/1/2008 euro is the functional currency of Teletypos S.A.’s
subsidiary Teletypos Cyprus Ltd.

b. Transactions and company’s accounts
In preparing the financial statements of the individual entities, transactions in
currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are
recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At
each statement of financial position date monetary items denominated in foreign
currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at each statement of financial
position date.
Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign
currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was
determined. Non-monetary items measured at historic cost that are denominated
in foreign currency are translated at the rates prevailing at the date of acquisition.
Exchange differences are recognised in statement of comprehensive income in
the period in which they except for:
Exchange differences which relate to assets under construction for future
productive use, which are included in the cost of these assets.
Exchange differences on monetary items received from or payable to a
foreign operation for which settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur,
which form part of the net investment of a foreign operation. These exchange
differences are recognised as a foreign currency translation reserve and are
transferred in profit and loss within the period in which the operation is
disposed of.
For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets
and liabilities of the Group’s foreign operations are expressed in the parent
company’s reporting currency, using the exchange rates at the statement of
financial position date. Income and expense are translated at the average
exchange rate of the period. Exchange differences arising are recognised as
foreign currency reserve in equity.
Such exchange differences are recognized in profit and loss in the period in
which the foreign operation is disposed of. The subsidiary has adopted from
1/1/2008 euro as its operating currency, resulting in no exchange rate
differences.
3.5. Borrowing Cost
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, constructions or production
of qualifying assets which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time
to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets.
Investment income on the temporary investment of specific borrowing is deducted
from borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.
All other borrowing costs (i.e. bonds issue costs) are recognised as impairment of the
liability.

3.7. Depreciation and Amortization
Fixed Assets
Equipment and vehicles of the parent company are presented at cost minus
accumulated depreciation and impairment loss. Depreciation is charged using the
straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Depreciation rates remain
constant throughout the useful life of the assets. Land is not depreciated.
%
Improvements on third party properties 10
Plant and machinery 4 or 10
Office equipment 10
Transportation means 12 or 16
Computer and software programmes 20
The carrying amounts of plant and machinery are examined for a possible
impairment in the case of events indicating such impairment. When such indications
appear and the value is estimated to be lower than carrying amount, this value is
revised.
Programme and film rights
The television programs (films, serials, musical shows, festival broadcasting,
entertainment programs, athletic, and items of similar nature, including rights and
royalties) are amortised according to the defined accounting policy, and the best
estimates of management, and the future cash flows on the basis of 7 years from the
date of first broadcasting , irrespective of their future brodcasting

not have a useful life in excess of one year are amortised fully in the period of their
first show.
For the internally generated intangible assets (own produced programme i.e. TV
movies, series, entertainment programmes, talk shows, sports, variety shows) the
company implements the provisions of IAS 38 by expensing research costs (Concept
and scene selection and rates of series promoting the program, audience appreciation,
etc.) and capitalizing development costs (the own produced programme) if they meet
all the criteria for recognition laid down in IAS 38.

3. Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)
3.8. Taxation
Taxation is the sum of the current taxation plus the deferred taxation.
Current taxation
Income tax is calculated on taxable profits and according to the rate which is in force,
which for the year 2014 amounts to 26%.
Due to the reported losses of the company no such tax has be reported.
Taxable profit differs from company’s profit as reported in the financial statement
because it excludes items of income or expenses that are not taxable or deductible in
other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible.
Income tax of subsidiary company is calculated with a 12.5% tax rate on net profit
and no further tax is charged as stipulated by legislation in the country of
subsidiaries’ incorporation.
Deferred tax is the tax payable or receivable due to temporary differences in income
taxation or in expense recognition for taxation purposes and is accounted for to the
extent that it will be utilised in the future.
Deferred taxation
Deferred tax liability is recognised mainly for all short-term taxation differences and
deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probably that future taxable
profit will be available, and tax asset will be utilised against the resulting tax liability.
Deferred tax liability is also recognised for short-term taxation differences which are
related with investments in subsidiaries and associates, except for occasions where
the Group has the ability to direct the mitigation of tax difference and it is likely that
this difference would not be mitigated in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred taxes (assets and liabilities) are reviewed at each
Statement of financial position date and are revised if it is necessary to the extent that
it is no longer probable that taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the
asset or liability to be recovered.
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period
when the liability is settled or assets realised. This tax is charged or credited to profit
or loss, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity in which
case the deferred tax is also accounted for against equity.

3. Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)
3.9. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is calculated
using the weighted average cost of the successive balance. Net realisable value
represents the estimated selling price less all estimated costs.
3.10. Provisions
Provisions are recognised when:
There are present obligations (legal or constructive) as a result of past events.
Their settlement through an outflow of resources is probable.
The exact amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated.
Provisions are reviewed by management of the company during the date when each
statement of financial position is compiled and can be recalculated if their current
value is different from their accounting value. The Board of Directors proposal for
distribution of profits to the staff and the Board of Directors is also accounted as
provision charging staff wages and third parties fees and expenses respectively.
3.11. Revenues recognition
Revenues come mainly from the sale of advertising time though advertising agencies
and from the sale of royalties. Revenues are accounted in the year in which they are
realized and are adjusted by deducting customer rebates directly related to revenues.
3.12. Impairment of assets
At each statement of financial position date, the company’s management reviews the
carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is
indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. On 31.12.2014, there
was no such indication.
3.13. Trade receivables
At first, trade receivables are accounted at their appropriate value, and then, are
revalued taking into consideration their present value using a real discount rate.
Impairment because of differences with the present value or because of provision for
bad debts is accounted only for substantial amounts. The amount of provision for
possible impairment is transferred to statement of comprehensive income. Such
differences within the accounting period were immaterial.
For doubtful customers a provision that is accounted in the statement of
comprehensive income in the year that the customers have been characterized as
such.

3.14. Investments
Investments are accounted at their appropriate value plus any cost directly related to
their acquisition.
The securities that the company intends and is able to hold up to their maturity date
‘held to maturity’ are valued at real cost using the real discount rate minus possible
loss connected to amounts that cannot be recovered.
Non-recoverable amounts, as well as, possible difference from valuation are
transferred to statement of comprehensive income.
Other non-investment securities are characterised as tradable or intended for resale
and are valued at their appropriate value. Profit or loss incurred by valuation of
tradable or intended for reselling securities is transferred directly to statement of
comprehensive income or directly to equity respectively, up to the date of their sale
or recognition of possible impairment of their value, in which case, profit or loss
accounted in equity is transferred to statement of comprehensive income.
3.15. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in the bank and in hand as well as short term
highly liquid investments.
3.16. Bank loans
Interest – bearing bank loans and overdrafts are recorded at the proceeds received,
net of direct issue cost. Then, they are recognised as the present value of total
payments due using the real discount rate. Possible difference between present value
of payments due and real proceeds from the loan is recognised according to the
company policy for recognizing borrowing cost (note 3.5).
3.17. Trade Creditors
Trade creditors are stated, at first, at the nominal value of the liabilities. Then, they
are revised at their fair value using the real discount rate method, and if there is
significant difference from the nominal value, then this difference is recognised in the
statement of comprehensive income.

5.1.4 Loans and receivables Trade receivables, loans and other receivables that have fixed or determinable
payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as loans and
receivables. Loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost and for short-term
receivables the recognition of interest by applying the effective interest rate would be
immaterial.
5.1.5 Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at each statement of
financial position date. Financial assets are impaired when there is objective evidence
that, as a result of an event that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial
asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been impacted.
Financial assets as trade receivables are assessed for impairment on a collective basis.
Objective evidence of impairment of receivables could include the past experience of
collecting payments, an increase if the number of delayed payments as well as
observable changers in national or local economic conditions.
The entity assesses partially the trade receivables and creates provision of doubtful
debtors when there is objective evidence of un-collectability. These provisions are
recognised in the statement of comprehensive income on the year that trade
receivables are considered uncollectible.

5.2 Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the Group (cont.)
5.2.2 Financial liabilities (cont.)
5.2.2.2 Other financial liabilities
Other financial liabilities including borrowing are initially measured
at fair value, net of transaction costs.
Other financial liabilities (loans) are subsequently measured at
amortised cost using the effective interest method at statement of
financial position date at present value by applying the effective
interest rate, when the loan interest is materially different.
Considering the short-dated life of financial liabilities the estimated
future cash payments do not materially differ from the initial
measure of the liability.
5.3. Derivative financial instruments
The company has loan agreement carrying variable interest rate,
consequently it is exposed to fluctuations of interest rates. To mitigate the
risk of such it enters into interest rate swap agreement.
These agreements are measured at fair value at inception and re-measured at
the date of the financial statements.
The results (gain or loss) are recognised in the statement of comprehensive
income, except for cases which are considered as a hedging/fair value or cash
flow hedging. Derivatives with positive fair value are treated as assets and
with negative fair value as liabilities.
