REVIEW OF FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2023
Developments and Prospects of the Greek Economy
In 2023, the global and European economies showed signs of slowing down amid sustained, albeit easing, inflationary
pressures, volatility in financial markets, and geopolitical uncertainty. The war in Ukraine, combined with escalating conflicts
in the Middle East and their impacts on regional and global stability and security, continue to negatively affect the global and
European economies. Geopolitical risks, concerns about energy prices, energy supply, and inflationary pressures have
increased. In the field of monetary policy, the European Central Bank (ECB) has implemented ten interest rate hikes in 2022
and 2023, with the most recent one in September 2023, increasing the ECB's three key interest rates by a total of 450 basis
points.

In this environment of intense challenges, the Greek economy showed resilience as the real growth rate in Greece stood at
2,0%, outperforming the Eurozone for the third consecutive year, however, the growth rate was lower than expected.
Contributing factors to this included lower-than-expected investment growth, the impacts of floods in Thessaly, and a modest
boost in exports due to the unfavorable international economic environment.
Thus, according to ELSTAT's estimation (The Greek Economy - March 8, 2024), the GDP in 2023 amounted to €194,5 billion
compared to € 190,7 billion in 2022. Changes in data leading to the above measurement stem from the exports of goods and
services, which increased by 2,1% compared to the 4th quarter of 2022, mainly supported by services, as goods exports
decreased by 1,6%, while services exports increased by 4,7%.
According to estimates and data from the European Commission (estimates for 2024, Report of February 15, 2024) the increase
in the country's GDP, economic growth is expected to remain generally stable at 2,3% in 2024 and 2025, while the annual
inflation based on HICP is expected to gradually decrease in 2024 and 2025 to 2,7% and 2%, respectively, compared to 4,2% in
2023.
The increase in primary surpluses, projected to be over 2% of GDP during the same period, will help reduce the public debt as
a percentage of GDP to below 150% of GDP by 2025, after the estimated 160% of GDP last year. Nevertheless, the increase in
real GDP in Greece at a faster pace than in the Eurozone should be maintained in order to narrow the gap separating the Greek
economy from the Eurozone average in terms of real per capita GDP.
An important positive development for the Greek economy is the fact that within the year, the significant and European Central
Bank-recognized rating agencies, 'Standard & Poor’s', 'DBRS', and 'Fitch', have given investment-grade ratings to the Greek
Economy. The most recent update comes from 'DBRS' on 08.03.2024, which continues to rate the Greek credit with a BBB-
investment grade with stable prospects.
Specifically, in 2023 there was a particularly successful period as the Group managed to increase rental income, its organic
profitability, and achieve increases in the values of certain real estate sectors within its portfolio. Key factors contributing to
this performance include: (a) the maturity and completion of new investments, (b) the portfolio of high-standard properties
with stable income streams, (c) the business model, and (d) its strong balance sheet, allowing management to leverage the
different conditions arising in the volatile environment in the most effective way, while also safeguarding the Company's future
profitability and maintaining its growth trajectory.
Developments and Prospects of the Real Estate Market
The real estate market was significantly affected in 2023 by the dramatic increase in interest rates, the resulting inflationary
trends, and the rise in energy prices. However, so far, there have been no signs of market fatigue or a decline in property
prices. The increase in interest rates has stabilized since the 4th quarter of 2023, and to the extent that inflation returns timely
to the medium-term target of 2%, markets expect a decrease in rates in 2024, which is expected to lead to stability and growth
in the domestic real estate market.
The domestic real estate sector of storage and distribution spaces (logistics) is characterized by a strong under-supply
alongside increased demand. The lack of modern storage spaces exceeding 10,000 sq.m. is significant, as the majority of the
old industrial properties that are sold or auctioned off do not have the necessary infrastructure for reconstruction into new
functional storage and distribution spaces, mainly due to insufficient internal height and lower specifications. These shortages
have led to high occupancy rates and a significant increase in rents, a trend expected to continue into 2024.
Additionally, new developments in logistics spaces face the highest construction costs, resulting in a noticeable decrease in
returns for properties in the sector.
The office space market, according to research published by the Bank of Greece in November 2023 ('Market Research for
Commercial Real Estate 1st Semester 2023'), maintained investment interest throughout 2023, both domestically and
internationally, with attractive yields for high-spec properties, an increase in the number of building permits for new
developments, and low vacancy rates. The low vacancy rates for high-spec properties have also influenced the trajectory of
rents, resulting in a 30-40% increase over the last five years. The high construction costs have affected new developments as
well as renovations. However, as foreign multinational corporations and large Greek conglomerates increasingly seek
sustainable buildings, a new reality is emerging in the office space market, with two speeds. The new 'green' buildings demand
rents that can reach up to €30/sq.m., while the rest of the buildings, depending on their location, age, and services offered,
have significantly lower rents.
Regarding the tourism sector, during 2023, there was a double-digit increase in tourist arrivals and revenues, creating optimism
for 2024. Specifically, inbound travel increased by 17,6% compared to 2022, reaching 32,7 million travelers, while travel
revenues increased by 15,7%, reaching €20,45 billion. More specifically, travel through airports increased by 12,7%, while
travel through road border stations increased by 34,9% (21/02/2024 - Bank of Greece Press Release: Developments in the
travel balance of payments: December 2023). The rise in tourism also positively affected the hotels in the Group's portfolio,
which saw an increase in occupancy and average daily rate (ADR) for the year.

Investments in Real Estate
As of December 31, 2023, the Group's portfolio included 25 properties, two of which belong to the subsidiary companies, with
a total area of 147.706 sq.m.. On October 23, 2023, the sale of a commercial property was completed - with a total area of
281,35 sq.m., located at 25th Martiou 1 & Ethel. Dodekanesiou Street in Rhodes - for a price of one million euros (€1,0 million).
(see Note 6).
The fair value of the Group's properties, including own used properties, as appraised by the independent appraisers of
'ATHINAIKI OIKONOMIKI LTD.' and 'Savills HELLAS I.K.E.', amounted to €148,9 million on December 31, 2023, compared to a
value of €136,3 million on December 31, 2022, representing an increase of €12,6 million or 9,2%. The value of the Group's
property portfolio is distributed as follows: 51% in warehouse and distribution center properties (logistics), 26% in office
properties, 20% in hotels, and 3% in other uses.
The fair value of Investments in Properties (excluding the value of owner-occupied properties of €1,4 million and €1,3 million
respectively) as of December 31, 2023 amounted to €147,5 million compared to a value of €135,0 million on December 31,
2022. This increase of €12,5 million is analyzed as follows:
€5,3 million corresponds to capital expenditures for the renovation and development of existing properties,
€8,1 million relates to the revaluation of the existing portfolio (+5,7% on the value of property investments as of
31.12.2022), of which €4,7 million pertains to the warehouse and distribution center sector (logistics) and €2,1 million
relates to the hotel sector due to increased performance of these property sectors.
There is a decrease of €0,9 million from the sale of investment properties (see Note 6),
The valuation of the Group's properties was conducted according to:
(a) the method of Discounted Cash Flows (DCF) or Income Capitalization method, (b) the method of Comparable Data or
Comparative method, and (c) the residual method (see Note 6).
The most significant development for the Group during the 2023 fiscal year was the signing of a merger agreement through
absorption, which took place on February 23, 2023, between: a) BriQ, b) the Cypriot company named "Ajolico Trading Limited"
(hereinafter referred to as "Ajolico"), which is the main shareholder of Intercontinental International REIC ("ICI") with a stake
of approximately 78.78%, c) ICI. The purpose of the agreement is the merger through absorption of ICI by BriQ, according to
the provisions of Law 4601/2019, Law 4548/2018, Article 54 of Law 4172/2013, the Athens Stock Exchange Regulation, and
the Capital Market legislation (the "Transaction").
Based on the above agreement, on January 31, 2024, the acquisition of 16 properties from ICI was completed for a total
consideration of €56,6 million, and a preliminary agreement was signed for the transfer of one more property with an agreed
price of €4,0 million. The acquisition of these properties on January 31, 2024, is not included in the results as of December 31,
2023. After the acquisition of these 17 properties, BriQ Properties' portfolio will consist of 42 properties with a total value of
approximately €211 million (see Note 6).
The completion of the merger process depends on the relevant approvals from the competent authorities, as well as the
determination of the exchange ratio by the independent appraiser and is subject to the approval of the general meetings of
the shareholders of the two companies.
Revenues
The Rental Income of the Group for the year 2023 amounted to € 9,1 million compared to € 8,0 million for the year 2022,
showing an increase of € 1,1 million or 13,8%. This increase is attributed to the incorporation of income from new investments,
mainly in logistics, and the annual adjustment of rents based on the Consumer Price Index.
Key tenants of the Group for the year 2023 were the Group companies Quest Holdings with a share of 33% and Sarmed Logistics
S.A. with a share of 28% (tenant of the property of the subsidiary SARMED Warehouses S.A.) of the total revenues for 2023.
Following the acquisition of the 16 properties of ICI on 31.01.2024), the main tenants of the Group are Alpha Bank with a share
of 34%, Quest Holdings companies with 20%, and Sarmed Logistics S.A. with 16% of the annualized revenues.
On December 31, 2023, the total occupancy rate (the total of leased spaces divided by the total leasable area excluding land,
buildings under development, and owner-occupied properties) of the Group's properties was 99,2% (2022: 99,8%).
Net profit from fair value adjustments on investment properties
The Group's profits from the revaluation of property investments at fair value for the year 2023 amounted to €8,1 million
compared to €7,5 million for the year 2022. Of these, €4,7 million relates to the logistics sector and €2,1 million to the hotel
sector, where there were overperformances of the properties during 2023.

Specifically, Real Estate Investment Companies (REICs) under Article 31 paragraph 3 of Law 2778/1999, as amended, are not
subject to income tax but are taxed at a rate equal to 10% on the respective intervention interest rate of the European Central
Bank (Reference Interest Rate), increased by 1 percentage point (10,0% * (ECB Reference Rate + 1,0%)), on the average of their
semi-annual investments plus their available amounts at current prices. In case of a change in the Reference Interest Rate, the
resulting new tax basis applies from the first day of the following month of the change. For the year 2023, the tax rate
amounted to 0,51% on the average of the total investments for the year (2022: 0,16%) (Note 24).
Net profit after tax
The net profits of the Group for the year 2023 amounted to € 14,63 million compared to profits of € 12,06 million for the year
2022.
Net profits, excluding gains from the revaluation of investments in properties to fair value and gains from the valuation of
financial instruments to fair value through profit or loss of € 1,7 million (see Note 23), amounted to € 4,8 million compared to
€ 4,6 million for the year 2022, showing an increase of 4,3%.
Statement of Financial Position
The total Net Asset Value (NAV) of the Group attributable to the Company's shareholders for the year ended December 31,
2023, amounts to € 108,3 million compared to € 98.2 million as of December 31, 2022. The total Net Asset Value (NAV) per
share was € 3,06 as of December 31, 2023, compared to € 2,78 as of December 31, 2022, representing an increase of 10%.

The acquisition of the aforementioned 17th property, as well as the shares of ICI, will be financed through borrowing, while
the merger by absorption of ICI by BriQ will be carried out through a stock exchange. The completion and the exchange ratio
will be finalized according to the terms of the contractual documents and will be subject to the confirmation of fairness and
reasonableness by the appointed certified auditors, as provided for by the applicable legislation, and therefore subject to the
approval of the general assemblies of the shareholders of the two companies, resulting in the control of ICI not being
transferred as of December 31, 2023. The Company estimates that following the completion of the merger by absorption, the
total real estate portfolio of the Group will amount to approximately € 270 million, while the total debt will amount to
approximately € 125 million (LTV 46%).
It is noted that each of the aforementioned stages B and C is subject to respective and corresponding suspensive conditions
for similar transactions, including the necessary approvals from the competent corporate bodies and regulatory authorities.
Β. Other Subsequent Events
On January 15, 2024, the Company proceeded with the issuance of additional bonds in the amount of €1,0 million from the
bond loan program with Alpha Bank S.A. through the Recovery and Resilience Fund to finance part of the construction of the
new LEED-certified office building located at 42 Poseidonos Street in Kallithea, Attica.
On January 19, 2024, the Company proceeded with the issuance of additional bonds in the amount of €1,6 million from the
bond loan program with Alpha Bank S.A. for the financing of part of the construction of the new warehouse and distribution
building in Aspropyrgos, Attica (KAD2).
On February 19, 2024, the Company proceeded with the issuance of additional bonds in the amount of €1,0 million from the
bond loan program with Alpha Bank S.A. for the financing of the expansion of the hotel complex in Paros and for the
construction of a new LEED-certified office building at 42 Poseidonos Street in Kallithea, Attica.
On February 9, 2024, the subsidiary "Plaza Hotel Skiathos S.A." with an extraordinary general meeting of its shareholders
decided to increase its share capital by €198 thousand through the capitalization of untaxed reserves according to law
1262/1982, and to issue 147.914 new registered shares, each with a nominal value of €1,34.
PROSPECTS FOR 2024
Following the acquisition of the 16 properties of Intercontinental International REIC, the Company's portfolio include 41
properties with a total value of approximately €208 million. The Company's rental income is expected to increase by around
€6,1 million on an annual basis, estimated to reach a total of €15,3 million.
With its significantly increased size, the Company anticipates achieving better profit margins and increased returns for its
shareholders in 2024.
Further increase in revenues is expected for 2024 from the Company's planned investments. The most significant of these
investments are:
a) the expected completion of the transfer of the 17th property of IC for a price of € 4,0 million for which a purchase
agreement has been signed,
b) the completion of the construction and leasing of the new modern warehouse and distribution building (KAD2) with a
total area of 19.236,42 sq.m., the completion of which is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2024, and
c) the completion of the expansion of the Mr & Mrs White Paros hotel complex in Paros on an adjacent plot with the
construction of a complex of 12 suites and the increase of the hotel's capacity to 61 rooms and suites. The expansion is
estimated to be ready for operation for the summer tourist season of 2024.
Also, a priority for the Company in 2024 remains the completion of the transaction for the merger by absorption of ICI by BriQ,
the gradual energy upgrade of the property portfolio, and the prudent management of available and loan capital with the aim
of maintaining optimal dividend yield to the shareholders.
Finally, the gradual reduction of interest rates expected to begin in the middle of the year is anticipated to bring immediate
improvement to the Company's results through the reduction of interest and tax obligations.
SIGNIFICANT RISKS
Α) Market Risk
Annual Separate and Consolidated Financial Report for the year ended
on December 31st, 2023
(Amounts presented in thousand € except if otherwise stated)
15
i) Foreign Exchange Risk
The Group operates in Greece, transactions are conducted in (€) Euro, and therefore is not exposed to foreign currency risks.
ii) Risk of Revaluations in Property Value
The Group is exposed to the risk of fluctuations in the value of properties, which impacts its financial performance and financial
position. To mitigate this risk, the Group has entered into long-term lease agreements with reliable tenants and has increased
the diversification of its property portfolio across different property categories. In the current period, the Group has recorded
gains from the revaluation of investments in properties at fair value.
iii) Inflation Risk
The Group's exposure to inflation risk is limited as most of the lease agreements include annual rent adjustments linked to the
Consumer Price Index.
Furthermore, in most lease agreements, it is stipulated that in the case of negative inflation, there is no negative impact on
the rents. The Group's rental income is not subject to seasonal fluctuations, except for some individual leases where, in
addition to the monthly (base) rent, there is a percentage based on excess turnover, which is calculated at the beginning of
each year based on the turnover of the previous calendar year.
The Group is, however, exposed to the increase in construction costs as there are projects under development. The Group has
already entered into construction contracts and has included the increased construction cost in its business models.
iv) Cash Flow Risk and Fair Value Risk Due to Interest Rate Changes
The Group's exposure to interest rate fluctuations primarily arises from bank loans with variable interest rates (see Note 15),
which expose the Group to cash flow risk due to possible changes in interest rates. The Group is exposed to market interest
rate fluctuations, which affect its financial position, as the cost of borrowing has significantly increased as a result of such
changes. The Group's exposure to interest rate fluctuations is limited by the low borrowing (31.12.2023: Net Loan To Value
Ratio 24.9%); however, it affects the final return on invested capital and therefore the results of the Group and the Company.
B) Credit Risk
The credit risk of the Group is related to the receivables arising from lease agreements and cash equivalents. Credit risk
management is centralized at the Group level. Credit risk concerns cases where tenants default on their obligations to pay
rents. The receivables are considered in default based on the time they remain uncollected, while also assessing the
creditworthiness of the tenant, their financial status, transactional behavior, and other parameters. When monitoring the
credit risk of tenants, they are categorized according to their credit characteristics, the maturity characteristics of their
receivables, and any previous collection issues they have displayed.
The Group, to secure its receivables, requests the payment of guarantees for leases or issues bank guarantees. The Group uses
a table to calculate the expected credit losses throughout the life of its receivables. This table is based on past experience but
is adjusted to reflect forecasts for the future financial condition of customers as well as the economic environment (e.g.,
inflation and interest rate fluctuations). Historically, the Group has not incurred significant losses from the initial recognition
of receivables, and significant losses are not expected, as the property lease agreements are made with tenants who have
sufficient creditworthiness and liquidity.
A part of the Group's exposure to credit risk also arises from transactions with related parties, as a portion of the Group's
property portfolio is leased to companies within the Quest Group.
Significant tenants of the Group during the year 2023 were Quest Holdings Group companies, accounting for 30% of the total
revenues in 2023, and Sarmed Logistics S.A. (tenant of the subsidiary SARMED Warehouses S.A.) with a share of 28% of the
total revenues in 2023. Following the acquisition of the 16 properties from ICI on January 31, 2024, and as of the date of this
financial information, the largest tenant of the Group is Alpha Bank with a share of 34%, Quest Holdings Group companies
with 20%, and Sarmed Logistics S.A. with a share of 17% of the annualized revenues, respectively. (see Note 17 and 29).
C) Liquidity Risk
The existing or potential risk for earnings and capital stems from the Group's inability to liquidate/collect receivables without
incurring significant losses. The Group ensures the necessary liquidity well in advance to meet its obligations on time, through
regular monitoring of liquidity needs and rental collections from tenants, as well as prudent management of available funds.
The liquidity of the Group and the Company is monitored by Management at regular intervals, while the Company has secured
open lines of financing for its future operational needs.
D) External Factors
Annual Separate and Consolidated Financial Report for the year ended
on December 31st, 2023
(Amounts presented in thousand € except if otherwise stated)
16
The Group only invests in the Greek territory and may be affected by factors such as economic instability, geopolitical unrest
in the region as well as globally, tourism trends, increases in raw material prices, and tax changes.
The outlook for the real estate market is influenced by the broader economic environment and investment attractiveness. In
periods of uncertainty and economic instability, investments in properties are considered more appealing as they provide
increased security compared to other investments and have shown greater resilience.
High inflation and aggressive monetary policy have slowed down the growth rate of the economy for 2023, but it has
outperformed against the Eurozone in 2023. The increase in interest rates has stabilized since the 4th quarter of 2023, with
markets expecting a decrease from mid-2024 onwards if inflation returns promptly to the medium-term target of 2%.
Regarding the economic prospects for the coming months, the main macroeconomic risks and uncertainties are as follows:
(a) Geopolitical upheavals such as the Russia-Ukraine war and the ongoing crisis in the Middle East and their impact on regional
and global stability and security, as well as on the European and Greek economies.
(b) An extension and/or worsening of the current wave of inflationary pressures with effects on economic growth, production
costs for businesses, and the quality of business assets.
(c) The timeframe during which the ECB will maintain its policy interest rates at current levels, which are the highest in the last
twenty years, exerting upward pressure on the borrowing costs of the public and private sectors and discouraging investments.
Also, the possibility of future interest rate hikes that prevent and reduce investment returns, increase volatility in financial
markets, and lead the economy to slowdown or recession.
(d) The ability to utilize the resources of the "Next Generation EU" (NGEU), mainly through the Recovery and Resilience
Mechanism (RRF), and the attraction of new investments to the country.
E) Environmental factors
The Company recognizes the risks arising from climate change and environmental disasters, as well as its obligations towards
the environment according to current environmental legislation, and the need for balanced economic development in
harmony with it.
The likelihood of similar disasters, such as the recent floods in Thessaly, becoming common in the near future due to climate
change, with a direct impact on the Greek GDP, employment, and inflation. In September 2023 (5-07.09.2023), the property -
hotel of the subsidiary company Plaza Hotel Skiathos MAE was affected by the storm DANIEL. However, according to the
insurance coverage for all properties of the Group, Plaza Hotel Skiathos MAE has already received rental insurance
compensation for the period during which the hotel was mandatory closed, and it also expects compensation for the damages
to the property, most of which have already been restored.
However, the macroeconomic risks that could negatively affect the Greek economy and, consequently, the financial figures of
the Company and the Group are beyond the control of the Group. The Management is not able to reliably predict the potential
impact of these risks.
The Management continuously assesses the situation and the potential impact of current developments to ensure that all
necessary and feasible measures and actions are taken promptly to minimize any impact on the activities of the Group.
RELATED PARTIES TRANSACTIONS
Although the Company is not a member of the Group of companies of Quest Holdings SA, nevertheless it is an affiliated party
with the above Group, due to the existence of common key shareholders in the Company and in this Group.
All transactions with related parties are objective and are carried out on an arm’s length basis, with the usual commercial
terms for similar transactions with unrelated third parties. Significant related party transactions, as defined in IAS 24, are also
described in detail in Note 29 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2023.
BRANCHES
The Company maintains a branch in the Municipality of Athens, Attica, at 3 Mitropoleos Street, Postal Code 10557, on a

The Company does not engage in research and development activities beyond the necessary research and studies for the
utilization of existing properties or for investment in new ones, within the scope of its exclusive business operations in the real
estate sector.
ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
The Company acknowledges both its obligations to the environment in accordance with the applicable environmental
legislation and the need for balanced economic development in harmony with it.
The Company has set the following objectives as part of its operations:
Green Investments in the properties of the Group aimed at reducing its carbon footprint and promoting renewable
energy sources. The Company is also rapidly proceeding with the installation of photovoltaic systems in its portfolio
properties.
Monitoring the natural locations and environmental performances of the investment properties and continuously
upgrading their energy efficiency, in relation to relevant standards wherever feasible.
Selecting partners and suppliers who respect the environment and aim to reduce their environmental footprint.
Informing its employees about environmental issues and fostering environmental awareness.
The Company, due to the nature of its activities, does not generate significant waste and therefore does not significantly
burden the environment.
Its direct environmental footprint mainly arises from the consumption of electricity (Category/Scope II) for the operation of
its offices and the consumables it uses (Category/Scope III). However, in order to minimize the impact of the latter on the
environment, circular economy practices have been adopted and implemented.
In the same category of carbon footprint (Category/Scope III) are also the energy consumptions of the properties owned by
the Group and leased to third parties. These emissions, indirectly charged to the business according to the standard
methodology, have been initially recorded and assessed, are systematically monitored, and wherever possible, action plans
for reduction are developed through interventions in energy renovation of buildings (envelope) and technical
electromechanical equipment of these properties.
The actions for implementing the above include measuring the consumed electrical energy, improving the infrastructure, and
using technologies to reduce consumption. This also involves collecting consumables and electrical devices for recycling, while
also encouraging the staff for active participation.
In July 2023, the Company, operating with awareness of its environmental responsibility and taking into account the new data
brought by the new climate law 4936/2022 and the framework of ESG, conducted a Gap Analysis on its real estate portfolio
with the aim of recording its energy and carbon footprint, ultimately aiming to find measures to reduce its environmental
footprint. The aforementioned work was carried out in collaboration with the Technical Consultants Company Envirometrics
S.A., through on-site verifications. At the time of drafting this, the work is in the final stages, and the results will be reflected
in the Company's Sustainability Report for 2023, expected to be published in September 2024. As part of the implementation
of the Corporate Social Responsibility program concerning environmental protection, the reduction of its carbon footprint,
and the promotion of renewable energy sources, the Company is rapidly proceeding with the installation of photovoltaic
stations in its portfolio properties.
To mitigate its negative impacts and maximize its positive effects, the Company has developed and implemented a Sustainable
Development Policy to monitor and improve its performance concerning commitments towards employees, shareholders, the
market, society, and the environment on sustainability matters.

Joint Ministerial Decision 26294/Β.1425/19.07.2000 (Greek
Official Government Gazette issue No. 949/31.07.2000),
using
mainly
the
discounted
cash
flow
method
in
combination with the comparative method or the residual
method.
The value of the Company’s and the Group’s property is a
result of the weighted average of the values resulting from
the aforementioned valuation methods and this accounting
policy has been consistently applied to the prior year
financial statements.
Pursuant to the provisions of Law 2778/1999, management
engages certified valuators to carry out the valuation of the
Company's and the Group’s investment properties at each
reporting date, in order to support the estimates that form
the appropriate basis of these properties’ fair value
determination.
The fair value of the investment property was adopted by
management on 19 February 2024 through the Board of
Directors approval of the Statement of Investments for the
year ended as at 31 December 2023 that was prepared in
accordance with the requirements of article 25 of Law
2778/1999.
As stated in Note 6 of the financial statements, according to
the estimates made by the certified valuators and the
management, the fair value of the Company's and the
Group’s investment property amounted to € 105.8 mil and €
147.5 mil respectively as at 31 December 2023, representing
73.5% and 94.5% of the Company’s and the Group’s total
assets
while
the
revaluation
of
the
aforementioned
investment property for the year 2023 resulted in gain of
amount € 7.6 mil and
€ 8.1 mil for the Company and the
Group respectively, and has been appropriately recorded in
the separate and consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss
and Other Comprehensive Income.

Our audit procedures relating to the Company’s and the
Group’s investment property portfolio for the year ended 31
December 2023 included the following:
We reviewed the procedures applied by the Company
and the Group and the relevant decisions of the Board
of Directors over the acquisition of new investment
property. We confirmed the purchase price of new
investment property with the purchase agreements in
place and we have reviewed the fair value as
determined by the certified valuators at the
acquisition date. We compared the purchase price
with the fair value of the investment property as at 31
December 2023 in order to assess the reasonableness
of the movement.
We obtained an understanding of the processes
followed by management for the valuation of
investment properties.
We obtained the valuations of the Entity’s and the
Groups investment properties, prepared by
management’s certified valuators as of 31 December
2023.
We reconciled the fair value of the investment
property as presented in the valuation reports to the
Company’s and the Group’s accounting records.
We received and reviewed the contract between the
certified valuators and the companies of the Group to
assess the scope and terms of their engagement.
We evaluated and verified the independence of the
Group’s external certified valuators, their capabilities
and objectivity. We found no evidence to suggest that
the independence of the valuators was compromised.
For the investment property, we confirmed that the
valuation methods used were acceptable according to
International Valuation Standards and were
considered appropriate for the determination of the
fair value of the investment property as at 31
December 2023.
We examined, on a sample basis, the accuracy and
relevance of the data provided by management to the
certified valuators and used for the determination of
Annual Separate and Consolidated Financial Report for the year ended
on December 31st, 2023
(Amounts presented in thousand € except if otherwise stated)

expenditure and other ownership expenses form the basis
for the determination of the fair value of the Company’s and
the Group’s investment property. Additionally, factors such
as the location, age and utilities of the property, the market
conditions, future rental revenue, the average daily rate
(ADR) for hotels, including related adjustments as required,
and exit yields at the maturity of lease agreements have
direct impact in the calculation of the property fair value.
We focused on this matter because of:
The significant size of investment property in the
separate and consolidated financial statements
The subjective nature and the use of judgement of the
appropriate methods and sources of data used by the
management in making the assumptions and estimates
for the valuation of investment properties carried at
fair value
The sensitivity of valuations to changes in the used
assumptions (such as rates concerning less active
markets, discount rates, inflation and yield to maturity)
The wider challenges the real estate market currently
facing as a result of macroeconomic uncertainty
following the geopolitical developments in Europe and
the subsequent impact on energy costs, inflationary
trends and interest rate curves.
the fair value of the Group’s investment properties as
at 31 December 2023. These data related to
information relevant to the lease rentals of the
investment property as derived from signed rental
contracts as well as other information including
relevant notarial documents.
We have used the services of experts in property
valuation, in order to evaluate, on a sample basis, the
appropriateness of the methodology used and the
relevance of the underlying key assumptions adopted
in the valuations, such as capitalisation rates (exit
yields to maturity and discount rates) and the market
rents of the individual lease agreements.
We also assessed the reasonableness of the
assumptions adopted (such as discount rates, yields to
maturity and market lease rentals), by comparing
them with market data in order to determine a
reasonable range of variation of the respective values.
We met with the Group’s certified valuers to develop
an understanding of their approach and judgments
made in the valuations of investment property.
From the audit procedures performed we concluded
that the valuations were based on reasonable
assumptions and appropriate data, taking into account
the current market conditions and trends that have
been shaped in real estate market as a result of the
recent geopolitical developments in Europe.
Furthermore, the rental income from the lease of the
Group’s investment properties was supported by the
agreements in place, while the discount rates, the
market rents and exit yields were in line with our
expectations, based on the current market conditions.
Finally, we confirmed that the disclosures included in
Note 6 of the separate and consolidated financial
statements were sufficient and appropriate in line
with the requirements of International Financial
Reporting
Standard
(IFRS)
13
and
International
Accounting Standard (IAS) 40.
Other Information
The members of the Board of Directors are responsible for the Other Information. The Other Information, which is included in
the Annual Report in accordance with Law 3556/2007, is the Statements of Board of Directors members and the Board of
Directors Report (but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon), which we obtained prior to
the date of this auditor’s report.
Annual Separate and Consolidated Financial Report for the year ended
on December 31st, 2023
(Amounts presented in thousand € except if otherwise stated)
43
Our opinion on the separate and consolidated financial statements does not cover the Other Information and except to the
extent otherwise explicitly stated in this section of our Report, we do not express an audit opinion or other form of assurance
thereon.
In connection with our audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the Other
Information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the Other Information is materially inconsistent with the
separate and consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially
misstated.
We considered whether the Board of Directors Report includes the disclosures required by Law 4548/2018 and the Corporate
Governance Statement required by article 152 of Law 4548/2018 has been prepared.
Based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit, in our opinion:
The information given in the the Board of Directors’ Report for the year ended at 31 December 2023 is consistent
with the separate and consolidated financial statements,
The Board of Directors’ Report has been prepared in accordance with the legal requirements of articles 150, 151
and 153 of Law 4548/2018,
The Corporate Governance Statement provides the information referred to items c and d of paragraph 1 of article
152 of Law 4548/2018.
In addition, in light of the knowledge and understanding of the Company and the Group and their environment obtained in
the course of the audit, we are required to report if we have identified material misstatements in the Board of Directors’
Report and Other Information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report. We have nothing to report in this
respect.
Responsibilities of Board of Directors and those charged with governance for the separate and consolidated financial
statements
The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the separate and consolidated financial
statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the European Union and comply
with the requirements of Law 4548/2018, and for such internal control as the Board of Directors 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.
In preparing the separate and consolidated financial statements, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the
Company’s and Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and
using the going concern basis of accounting unless Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company and Group or
to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s and Group’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the separate and consolidated financial statements as a
whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with
ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered
material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users
taken on the basis of these separate and consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism
throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the separate and consolidated financial statements,
whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit
evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material
Annual Separate and Consolidated Financial Report for the year ended
on December 31st, 2023
(Amounts presented in thousand € except if otherwise stated)
44
misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery,
intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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
Company’s and Group’s internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and
related disclosures made by the Board of Directors.
Conclude on the appropriateness of Board of Directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on
the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast
significant doubt on the Company’s and Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material
uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the separate
and consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions
are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions
may cause the Company and Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the separate and consolidated financial statements,
including the disclosures, and whether the separate and consolidated financial statements represent the underlying
transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities
within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the
direction, supervision and performance of the Company and Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit
opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the
audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements
regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought
to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements of the year under audit and are therefore the
key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report.

Principles for the preparation of the Financial Statements
2.1
Framework for the preparation of the Financial Statements
The present annual Corporate and Consolidated Financial Statements include the financial information of the Company and
the Group.
These Corporate and Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the Interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee, as adopted by the European Union.
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are presented below.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis for the Group and the Company, applying the historical
cost principle, as modified to include the revaluation of investments in properties at fair value.
The Company and the Group are aware of the assessment required and the disclosures to be included to understand
sustainability issues related to climate change, risk management, and opportunities related to the climate.
The Group recognizes both its obligations to the environment under current environmental legislation and the need for
balanced economic development in harmony with it.
Within the framework of its operations, the Group has set the following objectives:
Monitoring the physical locations and environmental performance of the investment properties and continuously
upgrading their energy efficiency, in relation to relevant standards, where feasible.
Selecting partners and suppliers who respect the environment and aim to reduce their environmental footprint.
Informing the company's employees about environmental issues and fostering environmental awareness.
The Company, due to the nature of its activities, does not generate significant waste and therefore does not significantly
burden the environment. Its environmental footprint is mainly related to energy consumption and consumables it uses, where
through the practices it has adopted, it ensures the minimization of their impacts on the environment.
The actions to implement the above involve measuring the electricity consumed, improving infrastructure and using
technologies to reduce consumption, as well as collecting consumables and electrical devices for recycling, also encouraging
its personnel for active participation.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of certain significant accounting estimates
and management's judgment in the application of accounting principles. Areas involving complex transactions and containing
a high degree of subjectivity, or assumptions and estimates that are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in
Note 4.
Continuing operations
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which was deemed appropriate by the Board of
Directors, considering the following factors.
In 2023, the global and European economy showed signs of slowdown amid sustained, albeit moderating, inflationary
pressures, volatility in financial markets, and geopolitical uncertainty. The war in Ukraine, combined with escalating conflicts
in the Middle East and their impact on regional and global stability and security, continue to negatively affect the global and
European economy. Geopolitical risks, concerns about energy prices, energy supply, and inflationary pressures have increased.
In this environment of intense challenges, the Greek economy showed resilience, with the real growth rate in Greece reaching
2.0%, outperforming the Eurozone for the third consecutive year.
In the field of monetary policy, the European Central Bank (ECB) has implemented ten interest rate hikes in 2022 and 2023,
with the most recent one in September 2023, raising the ECB's three key interest rates by a total of 450 basis points.
Meanwhile, the annual inflation based on the HICP stood at 4,2% in 2023.
However, the period during which the ECB will maintain its policy rates at the current levels, which are the highest in the last
two decades, exerting upward pressure on the cost of borrowing for the public and private sectors and discouraging
investments, coupled with the possibility of any future interest rate hikes that have a direct impact on investment returns, is
likely to increase volatility in financial markets and lead the economy to slowdown or even recession.
The Company is responsibly monitoring the increased geopolitical uncertainty, inflationary pressures on the economy, and the
tightening of monetary policy, constantly reassessing the situation and its potential impacts. To the extent possible, the
 
Annual Separate and Consolidated Financial Report for the year ended
on December 31st, 2023
(Amounts presented in thousand € except if otherwise stated)
56
Company ensures that all necessary and feasible measures are taken in a timely manner to minimize any potential impacts on
the activities of the Group.
In this context, (a) the Group does not have exposure to Russian or Ukrainian assets and continuously monitors developments
in the macroeconomic and geopolitical landscape, as well as the performance of key indicators assessing the quality of
investments in properties; (b) The Group's exposure to inflationary pressures is relatively limited, as rents in all leases are
adjusted based on inflation; (c) The Group's exposure to interest rate fluctuations is limited by the low borrowing (31.12.2023:
Net Loan To Value Ratio 24.9%); however, it affects the final return on invested capital and therefore the results of the Group
and the Company, (d) Regarding increases in raw material costs, the Company has contracted a large portion of the
construction costs for properties under construction/development without being significantly affected by future increases,
while the energy costs are borne by the tenants of the properties and not the owner; and (e) The real estate market continued
to show resilience with a positive rate of change in property values, intense investment activity, and strengthening of
construction activity, which may act as a mitigating and restrictive factor in economic slowdown for 2024.
Taking into consideration the Group's results, the long-term lease agreements entered into by the Group, the diversification
and solvency of its tenants, the quality of the Group's real estate portfolio, and its sufficient liquidity, it is reasonable to expect
that the Company and the Group have adequate resources to continue their business activities smoothly in the near future.
Therefore, the Group continues to apply the "going concern principle" in preparing its financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2023.
2.2
New standards, amendments to standards and interpretations
New standards, amendments to standards and interpretations:
Certain new standards, amendments to standards and
interpretations have been issued that are mandatory for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023. The Group’s evaluation
of the effect of these new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations is as follows:
Standards and Interpretations effective for the current financial year
IAS 1 (Amendments) ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’ and IFRS Practice Statement 2 ‘Disclosure of Accounting policies’
(effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023)
The amendments require companies to disclose their material accounting policy information and provide guidance on how to
apply the concept of materiality to accounting policy disclosures.
IAS 8 (Amendments) ‘Accounting policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors: Definition of Accounting Estimates’
(effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023)
The amendments clarify how companies should distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting
estimates.
Standards and Interpretations effective for subsequent periods
IAS 1 ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’
(Amendments)
(effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January
2024)
2020 Amendment
‘Classification of liabilities as current or non-current’
The amendment clarifies that liabilities are classified as either current or non-current depending on the rights that
exist at the end of the reporting period. Classification is unaffected by the expectations of the entity or events after
the reporting date. The amendment also clarifies what IAS 1 means when it refers to the ‘settlement’ of a liability.
2022 Amendments ‘Non-current liabilities with covenants’
The new amendments clarify that if the right to defer settlement is subject to the entity complying with specified
conditions (covenants), this amendment will only apply to conditions that exist when compliance is measured on or
before the reporting date. Additionally, the amendments aim to improve the information an entity provides when
its right to defer settlement of a liability is subject to compliance with covenants within twelve months after the
reporting period.
The 2022 amendments changed the effective date of the 2020 amendments. As a result, the 2020 and 2022
amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024 and should be applied
 
Annual Separate and Consolidated Financial Report for the year ended
on December 31st, 2023
(Amounts presented in thousand € except if otherwise stated)
57
retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8. As a result of aligning the effective dates, the 2022 amendments override
the 2020 amendments when they both become effective in 2024.
IFRS 16 (Amendment) ‘Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback’
(effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January
2024)
The amendment clarifies how an entity accounts for a sale and leaseback after the date of the transaction. Sale and leaseback
transactions where some or all the lease payments are variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate are
most likely to be impacted. An entity applies the requirements retrospectively back to sale and leaseback transactions that
were entered into after the date when the entity initially applied IFRS 16.
IAS 7 ‘Statement of Cash Flows’ and IFRS 7 ‘Financial Instruments’ (Amendments) - Disclosures: Supplier Finance
Arrangements
(effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024)
The amendments require companies to disclose information about their Supplier Finance Arrangements such as terms and
conditions, carrying amount of financial liabilities that are part of such arrangements, ranges of payment due dates and
liquidity risk information. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU.
2.3
Accounting Policies
2.3.1
Segment Reporting
Operating segments are presented in accordance with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker.
The Management, as the decision maker of the Company is responsible for the decision making, allocating resources and
evaluating the efficiency of the segments and taking the strategic decisions of the Company.
2.3.2
Foreign currency translation
(a) Functional and presentational currency
Items included in the financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which
each entity operates (the ‘functional currency’). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Euro, which is the
Company’s functional and presentation currency.
(b) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are converted into the functional currency based on the exchange rates prevailing at the date
of each transaction or valuation when the amounts are re-measured. Gains and losses from foreign exchange differences
arising from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies at the prevailing exchange rates at the reporting date are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive
Income, except for cases where they are transferred to other comprehensive income as a hedge of cash flows and net
investment hedge. Gains or losses from foreign exchange differences related to the monetary items of assets and liabilities
such as cash and cash equivalents or borrowings are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income under "Financial
Income/(Expenses) - Net."
Non-monetary items of assets and liabilities are translated based on the exchange rate prevailing at the date of initial
recognition, except for non-monetary items denominated in a foreign currency that are measured at fair value and are
translated based on the exchange rate at the date the fair value was determined. In this case, foreign exchange differences
are part of the gain or loss from the change in fair value and are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income or
directly in equity, based on the classification of the non-monetary item.
2.3.3
Investment Properties
Properties that are held for long-term rental returns or for capital revaluation or both, and are not used by the Company, are
categorized as real estate investments. Real estate investments mainly include offices, warehouses, hotels and special purpose
properties.
Investment property is initially recognized at cost, including related direct acquisition costs and borrowing costs. Investment
property is then recognized at fair value. Fair value is based on prices that are valid in an active market, adjusted where
necessary, due to differences in the nature, location or condition of the asset. If this information is not available, then the
Company applies alternative valuation methods, such as recent prices in less active markets or cash flow discounting. These
assessments are reviewed on June 30 and on December 31 of each year by independent professional appraisers, with
knowledge of the real estate market, proven professional experience and registered in the relevant register of Real Estate
Appraisers of Ministry of Finance, according to the instructions issued by the International Standards Committee.
Investment properties that are used for a permanent use as investments in real estate or for which the market has become in
less active, continue to be categorized as investment property and are valued at fair value. The fair value of real estate
 
Annual Separate and Consolidated Financial Report for the year ended
on December 31st, 2023
(Amounts presented in thousand € except if otherwise stated)
58
investments reflects, among other things, rental income from existing leases and assumptions about rental income from future
leases, in the light of current market conditions. The fair value also reflects, on a similar basis, any cash outflows (including
rent payments and other outflows) that would be expected for each property. Some of these outflows are recognized as a
liability, while other outflows, including contingent rent payments, are not recognized in the financial statements.
Subsequent expenses are added to the carrying amount of the asset only when it is probable that future economic benefits
associated with the asset will flow to the Company and that the relevant costs can be measured reliably. Repairs and
maintenance costs expenses in the financial period in which they have incurred.
Changes in fair values are recorded in profit or loss. Investment property is derecognized when sold or when the use of
investment property is ended, and no economic benefit is expected from its sale.
If an investment property becomes owner-occupied, it is reclassified as Property Plant and equipment and its fair value at the
date of reclassification becomes its cost for accounting purposes.
If a fixed asset is reclassified from property, plant and equipment to investment property, due to a change in its use, any
discrepancy between the carrying amount and the "fair value" at the date of its transfer is recognized in other comprehensive
income and is recognized in equity as a revaluation of Property Plant and equipment under IAS 16. However, if a fair value gain
reverses a previous impairment loss, the gain is recognized in the income statement to the extent that this gain reverses a
previous impairment loss. Any remaining profit is recognized in OCI by increasing the asset revaluation reserve in equity.
Investment properties held for sale without reutilization are classified under non-current assets as available for sale, in
accordance with IFRS 5. The cost of the property for subsequent accounting treatment is its fair value at the date of transfer.
Sales of investment properties are recognized upon completion of the transaction. The resulting gains and losses are
recognized in the results of the year and are determined as the difference between the net sales revenue and the book value
of the asset at the last fair value measurement plus the capital expenditures of that period.
2.3.4
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. The acquisition
cost also includes the costs directly related to the acquisition of the fixed assets.
Subsequent expenses are either included in the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment or when deemed more
appropriate are recognized as a separate asset only when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Company
that are greater than initially expected according to the original performance of the asset and under the assumption that their
cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced asset is written off.
Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to the results of the year in which they are incurred.
Land-plots are not depreciated. Depreciation of other items of property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-
line method with equal annual charges over the expected useful life of the item, so that the cost is written off at residual value.
The estimated useful life of the fixed assets, from the year of construction for the buildings and the year of acquisition for the
furniture and equipment, is as follows:
Buildings
50
Years
Furniture and other equipment
4-7
Years
The photovoltaic park of the subsidiary "Sarmed Warehouses S.A." has a guaranteed 20-year contract with HTSO, starting from
the date of issuance of the manufacturer's operating license and can be extended in accordance with the terms of the relevant
production license.
The residual values and useful lives of property, plant and equipment are reviewed and adjusted accordingly, at least at the
end of each financial year. The carrying amount of a tangible fixed asset is reduced to its recoverable amount when its carrying
amount exceeds its estimated recoverable amount.
Profit or losses on sale arise from the difference between sales revenue and carrying amount and are recognized in profit or
loss in the item «Other profit / (loss) net».

(Amounts presented in thousand € except if otherwise stated)
59
2.3.5
Intangible assets
Amortized intangible and fixed assets are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount may not be recoverable. When the book value of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the corresponding
impairment loss is recorded in the results. The recoverable amount is determined as the higher of the fair value less costs to
sell and the value in use. For the purposes of determining impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which cash
flows can be determined separately (cash-generating units). Impairments recognized in prior periods on non-financial assets
(other than goodwill) are reviewed at each reporting date for any reversal.
2.3.6
Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
The Group classifies financial assets in the following categories for measurement purposes:
financial assets that are subsequently measured at fair value (either through other comprehensive income or
through profit or loss), and
financial assets at amortized cost.
The classification depends on the business model applied by the Group to manage its financial assets and the characteristics
of the contractual cash flows of the financial asset.
During the year ended, the Group does not hold equity or debt securities at fair value, while the only financial assets held are:
Cash and cash equivalents (note 2.3.10)
Customers and other receivables (note 2.3.8)
2.3.7 Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable are amounts required to provide services in the normal course of business. They are initially recognized
at the amount of the consideration that is not subject to conditions, unless they contain a significant financing component in
which case they are recognized at fair value. The Group maintains receivables from customers with the objective of collecting
the contractual cash flows, therefore, it subsequently recognizes them at amortized cost using the effective interest method,
less any impairment losses.
The Group applies the simplified approach of IFRS 9 for the calculation of expected credit losses. The loss allowance is always
measured at an amount equal to the expected credit losses throughout the lifetime of the claim. To determine expected credit
losses in relation to commercial and other receivables, the Group uses a credit loss forecast table based on the maturity of the
remaining receivables. Credit loss forecasts are based on historical data taking into account future factors in relation to
borrowers and the economic environment.
2.3.8
Cash and cash equivalents
In the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents include cash, demand deposits, short-term investments with high
liquidity and low risk, maturing in up to 3 months. In the statement of financial position, bank overdrafts appear as borrowings
in short-term liabilities.
2.3.9
Share Capital
The Company's share capital consists of common registered shares.
Direct expenses for the issue of shares appear as a reduction of the proceeds of the issue.
The cost of acquiring own shares is shown as a deduction from the Company's equity, until the own shares are sold, canceled
or reissued. Any profit or loss from the sale of own shares, net of other costs and taxes directly related to the transaction,
appears as a reserve in equity.
2.3.10 Suppliers and other payables
Trade payables include obligations for products and services acquired during the Company's normal operations from suppliers.
Trade payables are recorded as short-term liabilities when their payment is due within the next year. If their payment extends
beyond the year, they are classified as long-term liabilities.
Trade payables are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest
method.
2.3.11 Guarantees
The Company receives advances from tenants as security within the framework of operational leases. These specific
guarantees constitute financial liabilities based on IFRS 9 and are initially recognized at fair value. The guarantees are classified
 
Annual Separate and Consolidated Financial Report for the year ended
on December 31st, 2023
(Amounts presented in thousand € except if otherwise stated)
60
as short-term liabilities unless the Company has the right to defer settlement of the liability for 12 months after the Balance
Sheet date, in which case they are classified as long-term liabilities
2.3.12
Current tax obligations
Pursuant to article 31 of Law 2778/1999, real estate investment companies are required to pay a tax whose rate is set at ten
percent (10%) on the applicable interest rate of the European Central Bank (Reference Rate) added by one (1) percentage
point. This tax is calculated on the average of investments, plus reserves, at current prices, as shown in the six-monthly
investment statement, provided for by paragraph 1 of article 25 of Law 2778/1999. In the event of a change in the Reference
Interest Rate, the resulting new basis for calculating the tax is valid from the first day of the month following the change. The
tax is paid to the competent tax authority within the first fortnight of the month following the period covered by the six-
monthly investment tables. In case of withholding tax on acquired dividends, this tax is offset against the tax resulting from
the declaration submitted by the real estate investment company within the month of July. Any credit balance is carried over
to set off against subsequent statements. By paying this tax, the tax liability of the company and its shareholders is exhausted.
When calculating the above tax, the properties owned directly or indirectly by REIC subsidiaries are not taken into account, as
long as they are listed separately in their investment statements.
As the Company's tax liability is calculated on the basis of its investments, plus its reserves, and not on the basis of its profits,
no temporary differences arise and therefore no corresponding deferred tax liabilities and/or receivables are created.
Current tax liabilities include the short-term liabilities to the tax authorities related to the above tax payable. The Management
at regular intervals evaluates its position in matters related to the tax authorities and calculates provisions where necessary
for the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
2.3.13 Employee Benefits
Post-employment benefits include defined benefit plans as well as defined contribution plans and post-retirement health care
plans.
(a)
Post-retirement benefits
Defined contribution plan is a pension plan, in which the Company pays fixed contributions to a separate entity. The Company
has no legal or constructive obligation to pay additional contributions if the invested assets are insufficient to meet the
expected employee service benefits for the current period as well as previous periods.
A defined benefit plan is a retirement plan that is not a fixed contribution plan. Typically, defined benefit plans determine the
amount of the retirement benefit that an employee will receive upon retirement, which usually depends on one or more
factors such as age, years of service and compensation.
The liability recorded in the statement of financial position for defined benefit plans is the present value of the defined benefit
obligation at the reporting date less the fair value of the plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by
an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is
calculated by discounting the expected future cash outflows using high quality corporate bond interest rates denominated in
the currency in which the benefit will be paid and with a term approaching the maturity of the relevant retirement obligation.
The cost of current employment in the defined benefit plan is recognized in the income statement, unless it is included in the
cost of an asset. The cost of current employment reflects the increase in the defined benefit obligation arising from the
employment of employees during the year, as well as changes due to cuts or arrangements.
The cost of previous service is recorded directly in the profit and loss for the year.
The net interest cost is calculated as the net amount of the defined benefit obligation. These costs are included in the income
statement on employee benefits.
Actuarial gains and losses arising from empirical adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized in other
comprehensive income in the year in which they arise.
For defined contribution plans, the Company pays contributions to public or private insurance funds either compulsorily or
contractually or voluntarily. After the payment of the contributions there is no further commitment for the Company.
Contributions are recognized as employee benefit costs when they become payable. Prepaid contributions are recognized as
an asset to the extent that prepayment will result in a reduction in future payments or a refund.
(b)
Termination benefits
Termination benefits are payable when the Company terminates employment before the normal retirement date or when the
employee accepts voluntary retirement in exchange for these benefits. The Company registers these benefits no earlier than
 
Annual Separate and Consolidated Financial Report for the year ended
on December 31st, 2023
(Amounts presented in thousand € except if otherwise stated)
61
the following dates: a) when the Company can no longer withdraw the offer for these benefits and b) when the Company
recognizes reorganization costs that are in application of IAS 37, to which including the termination of employment benefits.
In the event that an offer is made for voluntary departure, the termination benefits are calculated based on the number of
employees who are expected to accept the offer. Termination benefits due 12 months after the reporting date are discounted.
2.3.14 Provisions
The Company recognizes provisions for contingent liabilities and risks when there is a present legal or presumed obligation, as
a result of past events, a high probability of outflow of resources that contain financial benefits for the settlement of the
liability, and it is possible to estimate the relevant liability.
Provisions are calculated at the present value of the expenses, which based on the best management estimate, are required
to meet this obligation at the balance sheet date. The discount rate used to determine the present value reflects current
market estimates of the time value of money and the risks associated with the liability.
2.3.15 Revenue recognition
Income from operating leases is recognized in profit or loss, based on the straight-line method, over the term of the lease.
Variable (contingent) leases, such as rents based on turnover, are recorded as income in the periods in which they are incurred.
When the Group provides incentives to its customers, the cost of these incentives is recognized over the lease term, using the
straight-line method, less operating lease income.
Other revenue is recognised, in accordance with IFRS 15, at the amount the Group expects to be entitled to as consideration
for the transfer of the goods or services to a customer when the customer obtains control of the goods or services, specifying
the time of the transfer of control - either at a given point in time or over time.
Revenue from the sale of goods (renewable energy sources) is recognized when control of the good is transferred to the
customer, usually upon delivery, and there is no outstanding obligation that could affect the customer's acceptance of the
good.
2.3.16
Interest Income and Expenses
Interest income is recognized using the effective interest rate. When there is an impairment of loans or receivables, their book
value is reduced to their recoverable amount which is the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the
initial effective interest rate. Interest income is then calculated at the same rate (original effective rate) on the depreciated
(new book) value. Borrowing interest expenses are recognized in the "Financial expenses" of the income statement using the
effective interest method, with the exception of borrowing expenses directly related to the acquisition, construction or
production of fixed assets for which a significant construction period is required and which increase the cost of fixed assets,
until they become substantially ready for use or sale. Fees and direct costs related to the issuance of a loan or the purchase of
securities, financing or modification and commitments for loans are recognized gradually in the income statement over the
period of the item using the effective interest method.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial asset or financial liability and
allocating interest income or expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is that interest rate that accurately
discounts future cash payments or receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or, when required, a shorter
period, to the net book value of the financial asset or liability. When calculating the effective interest rate, the Group calculates
cash flows taking into account all contractual terms governing the financial instrument (for example, prepayments) but will
not take into account future credit losses. The calculation includes all fees and units paid or received between the parties that
form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and any mark-up or discount.
2.3.17 Leases
Cases in which the Company is the lessor:
(i) Operating lease
- The Company leases all its owned properties under operating leases. When properties are leased under
operating leases, they are classified as investment properties in the statement of financial position (Note 6). Rental income
(less the value of any incentives provided by the lessor) is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
(ii) Finance lease
– The Company has not yet entered into a financial lease as a lessor.
When the Company is the tenant:
Leases in which the Company is the tenant are recognized in the statement of financial position as a right of use asset and a
liability lease, the date on which the leased asset becomes available for use.
 
Annual Separate and Consolidated Financial Report for the year ended
on December 31st, 2023
(Amounts presented in thousand € except if otherwise stated)
62
Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following leases:
fixed rents (including "substantially" fixed payments)
variable rents, which depend on an index or an interest rate, which are initially measured using the index or the
interest rate at the date of the beginning of the lease term, the amounts expected to be paid on the basis of
guaranteed residual values
the price of the purchase right, if it is rather certain that the Company will exercise this right, and
the payment of a penalty for termination of the lease, if the duration of the lease reflects the exercise of the
Company's right to terminate the lease.
Lease payments are discounted at the rate implicit in the lease or, if this rate cannot be determined by the contract, at the
incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate at which the Group would borrow funds to acquire a similar item, of similar value
to the leased asset, for a similar period of time, with similar collateral and in a similar economic environment.
After their initial measurement, the lease liabilities increase due to their financial cost and decrease due to the lease payments.
The lease obligation is revalued to reflect any revaluations or modifications of the lease.
2.3.18
Loan Liabilities
Loan liabilities are initially recognized at their fair value, less transaction costs. Subsequently, the liabilities from loans are
valued at amortized cost. Liabilities from loans are recorded in current liabilities unless the Company and the Group has the
right to defer settlement of the liability for 12 months after the balance sheet date.
Borrowing costs directly related to the acquisition, construction or production of fixed assets for which a significant period of
construction time is required until they become essentially ready for use (qualifying assets), increases the cost of the assets.
Borrowing costs are those that could have been avoided if the expenditure on the qualifying asset had not been incurred.
To the extent that the Group borrows capital specifically for the purpose of acquiring and constructing a qualifying asset, the
amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalization is determined as the actual cost incurred in the period for such borrowing,
reduced by any income from the temporary placement of these loans.
The Group begins capitalizing borrowing costs as part of the cost of the qualifying item from the inception date. The start date
for capitalization is the date the entity meets all of the following conditions for the first time:
(a) incurs investment expenditure on the asset;
(b) incurs borrowing costs and
(c) undertakes activities necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale.
The Group ceases to capitalize borrowing costs when substantially all of the necessary activities to prepare the asset to qualify
for its intended use or sale have been completed. The Group recognizes other types of borrowing costs as expenses in the
period in which they were incurred.
2.3.19 Distribution of Dividends and Dividend Income
The distribution of dividends is recognized as a deduction from the Group's equity and is recorded as a liability when approved
by the General Meeting of shareholders. Any pre-dividends are recognized as a deduction from the Group's equity when
approved by the Board of Directors. Dividends are recognized in the income statement when the right to receive a dividend is
approved by the shareholders. Accordingly, interim dividends from subsidiaries are recognized in the income statement when
approved by the Board of Directors.
2.3.20 Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net earnings attributable to the shareholders by the weighted average
number of the ordinary shares outstanding during each year, excluding the average rate of the ordinary shares acquired as
own shares. The adjusted earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net earnings attributable to shareholders by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each year (adjusted for the effect of the stock option).
2.3.21
Grants
Government grants are recognized at their fair value when it is reasonably expected that the grant will be collected and the
Group will comply with all stipulated conditions.

on December 31st, 2023
(Amounts presented in thousand € except if otherwise stated)
63
2.3.22
Derivative Financial Instruments
"Derivative financial instruments" refer to futures contracts on shares and are initially recognized in the balance sheet at fair
value on the date the contracts are entered into, and subsequently re-measured at their fair value. The method of recognizing
the gain or loss arising from the above measurement depends on whether these derivative financial instruments have been
designated as hedging instruments, as well as the nature of the hedged item. Derivative financial instruments that are not
designated as hedging instruments and do not meet the requirements for hedge accounting are classified as derivatives and
recognized at fair value through the Statement of Comprehensive Income. The fair value of derivative financial instruments is
determined based on market prices, taking into account recent transactions in the market, or using appropriate other valuation
techniques.
2.4. Consolidated Financial Statements
2.4.1 Consolidation
The consolidated Financial Statements include the Financial Statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, which are
controlled by the Company. Control exists only when the Company a) exercises power over its subsidiaries, b) holds positions
or rights with variable returns from its participation in the subsidiaries and c) has the ability to use its power over the
subsidiaries to influence the amount of its returns.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated (total consolidation) from the date on which control over them is acquired and cease to be
consolidated from the date such control does not exist.
Acquisitions of subsidiaries are accounted for using the acquisition method. The acquisition cost of a subsidiary is the fair value
of the assets transferred, shares issued, and liabilities incurred at the acquisition date, plus any costs directly attributable to
the acquisition. Identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired in a business combination are measured on
acquisition at fair value, regardless of the percentage of participation.
Transactions, balances and unrealized profits arising between the companies of the Group are eliminated during the
consolidation. Unrealized losses are also eliminated, unless the transaction shows signs of impairment of the transferred asset.
The accounting principles of the subsidiaries have been adjusted to be uniform with those adopted by the Group.
For the acquisition of subsidiaries, which do not fall within the definition of a business combination, the Group divides the
costs between the individual identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquired business based on their fair values at the
acquisition date. No goodwill arises from such transactions.
The Company records investments in associates in the separate financial statements of the Parent at cost.
The subsidiaries that are consolidated in the Group are
«Plaza Hotel Skiathos M.S.A.»
and «
Sarmed Warehouses S.A.».
2.5. Reclassification of comparatives
In the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, reclassifications have been made, where necessary, in order
to make the funds similar and comparable to the funds of the current year.
3.
Financial risk management
3.1. Financial risk factors
The Group is exposed to financial risks, such as market risks (changes in interest rates, market prices), credit risk and liquidity
risk. The Company's general risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to
minimize their potential negative impact on the Company's financial performance.
The Management implements an integrated risk management framework, which aims at the continuous monitoring of the
Group's business operation, in order to identify the risk areas in time, to evaluate and categorize and then to manage through
appropriate actions.
At the level of organizational structure, the Risk Management Service in collaboration with the executive members of the
Management, as well as the supervisory units of the Company, are in charge of risk management, while the internal control
function evaluates the adequacy and effectiveness of the risk management system.
In addition to the above, the Company's Board of Directors must regularly review the main risks faced by the Group, as well
as the effectiveness of the internal control system in terms of managing these risks.
(a) Market risk
(i) Foreign exchange risk
 
Annual Separate and Consolidated Financial Report for the year ended
on December 31st, 2023
(Amounts presented in thousand € except if otherwise stated)
64
The Group operates in Greece, its transactions are conducted in Euro and therefore is not exposed to foreign currency risks.
(ii) Price risk
The Group is not exposed to risk related to financial instruments since it does not hold equity instruments.
The Group is exposed to the risk from fluctuation in the fair value of real estate property and in lease income. In order to
reduce the risk of prices not related to financial instruments, such as the risk of real estate prices, the Group leases its property
under long-term operating lease agreements, which provide for annual adjustments of rents associated with the Consumer
Price Index, while in case of negative inflation there is no negative impact on rents. Rental income of the Group is not subject
to seasonal fluctuations, except for some individual leases where there is a percentage of turnover in addition to the monthly
rent which is calculated at the beginning of each year and relates to the previous calendar year.
In addition, the Company is governed by an institutional framework of REIC, according to which:
a) periodic valuation of its investment properties by an independent appraiser is required;
b) valuation of the property is required before acquisition or pre-sale by an independent appraiser;
c) the construction, completion or repair of real estate is allowed as long as the relevant costs do not exceed, in total, forty
percent (40%) of the total investment of the company in real estate, as it will have been formed after the completion of the
works and,
d) the value of each property, at the time of acquisition or completion of works, is prohibited to exceed 25% of the value of all
its investments.
This scheme contributes significantly to the avoidance and / or timely treatment of the relevant risks.
(iii) Cash flows risk and risk of fair value changes due to interest rate changes
Interest rate risk refers to the existing or future risk to the profits and capital of the Group and the Company, which results
from adverse interest rate fluctuations affecting the assets and liabilities of the Company. The Group's exposure to the risk of
fluctuations in interest rates comes from demand deposits (see Note 11) that it has in its assets as well as bank loans with
variable interest rates (see Note 15) which expose the Group to cash flow risk due to a possible change of interest rates.
The Group is exposed to fluctuations in market interest rates which affect its financial position and cash flows, as borrowing
costs may increase as a result of such changes.
The Group's exposure to interest rate fluctuations is not significant due to the low borrowing, with a Net Loan to Value Ratio
of 24,9% as of December 31, 2023.
If the reference interest rate had changed by +/-1%, the effect on the Group's results would have been estimated to be reduced
by € 331 thousand and increased by € 331 thousand respectively.
(b) Credit risk
The Group's credit risk is linked to rent receivables from operating lease contracts and cash and cash equivalents. Credit risk
is managed centrally, at Group level. The credit risk concerns cases of default by counterparties to fulfill their transactional
obligations if they become due. Receivables are considered in default based on the time during which they remain uncollectible
while evaluating the customer's creditworthiness, his financial situation, his trading behavior as well as other parameters.
When monitoring customer credit risk, customers are grouped according to their credit characteristics, the maturity
characteristics of their receivables and any previous collection problems they have demonstrated. The Group, in order to
secure its claims, requests the payment of a guarantee for the leases or letters of guarantee. The Group uses a table with
which it calculates the expected credit losses throughout the lifetime of its receivables. This table is based on past experience
but is adjusted in such a way as to reflect forecasts of the future financial situation of the customers as well as the economic
environment (eg inflation and interest rate fluctuations).
The Group has historically not incurred significant losses from the initial recognition of receivables, and no significant losses
are expected, as the property lease agreements are made with clients - lessees who have sufficient creditworthiness and
liquidity. The Group's exposure to credit risk also arises from transactions with related parties, as part of the Group's real
estate portfolio is leased to Quest Group companies. The percentage of annualized rental income derived from subsidiaries
and affiliated companies of Quest Group Holdings S.A. as of the approval date of the 2023 financial statements is 20%, down
from 34% in the corresponding period last year, of the total annualized rental income. It is also noted that the corresponding
percentage of annualized rental income derived from the company Sarmed Logistcs S.A. (tenant of the property of the
subsidiary SARMED Warehouses S.A.) is currently 17%, compared to 28% in the corresponding period last year, while the
largest tenant of the Company is Alpha Bank with 34% of the annualized income (see Note 17 and 29).

(c) Liquidity risk
The current or future risk for profits and capital arises from the inability of the Group to liquidate / collect overdue receivables
without suffering significant losses. The Group ensures the required liquidity in a timely manner in order to meet its obligations,
through the regular monitoring of liquidity needs and the collection of debts by employees and the prudent management of
cash.
The liquidity of the Group and the Company is monitored by the Management at regular intervals while the Company has
secured open lines of financing for its future operational needs. Below is the breakdown with maturities of financial assets and

3.2 Capital management
Regarding capital management, the Group's objective is to ensure its ability to remain in continuous operation in order to
generate profits for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce
the cost of capital. The maintenance or adjustment of the capital structure can be achieved through adjusting the amount of
dividends paid to shareholders, issuing new shares, or selling assets to reduce borrowing.
The Group monitors capital risk based on the leverage ratio. This ratio is calculated as the ratio of total debt to total assets
(debt ratio) and as the ratio of net debt to total assets (net debt ratio). Net debt is calculated as the total of borrowings (long-
term and short-term) plus lease obligations minus cash and cash equivalents.
The legal framework governing Societes Anonymes with Share Capital (A.E.E.A.P.) in Greece allows for loans and credit to be
extended to them, with amounts totaling up to 75% of their total assets, for the acquisition and utilization of properties. Below
are the leverage ratios as of December 31, 2023, compared to December 31, 2022.

3.3 Fair values
The Company and the Group provide the necessary disclosures regarding the fair value measurement through a three-level
hierarchy.
Financial assets that are traded in active markets and their fair value is determined based on the published purchase prices
that are valid at the reporting date for similar assets and liabilities ("Level 1").
Financial assets that are not tradable in active markets, the fair value of which is determined using valuation techniques
and assumptions based either directly or indirectly on market data at the reporting date ("Level 2").
Financial assets that are not tradable in active markets, the fair value of which is determined using valuation techniques
and assumptions that are not fundamentally based on market data ("Level 3").
The Company and the Group hold derivative financial instruments (note 23) and investment properties (note 6) measured at
fair value. As of December 31, 2023, the carrying amount of trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, loans and
borrowings, as well as the provisions for suppliers and other liabilities, approximated their fair values. During the year, there
were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, nor transfers into and out of Level 3 for the measurement of the fair value of
investment properties.
4.
Significant accounting estimates and judgments of the Management
The estimates and judgments of the Management are constantly reviewed and are based on historical data and expectations
for future events, which are considered reasonable according to the current ones.
Significant accounting estimates and assumptions
The Company makes estimates and assumptions regarding the development of future events. The estimates and assumptions,
which pose a significant risk of causing substantial adjustments to the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities over the
next 12 months, mainly relate to the determination of the fair values of investment properties.
The most appropriate indication of fair value is the current values that apply in an active market for related leases and other
contracts. If it is not possible to find such information the value is determined within a range of reasonable estimates of fair
values. According to the current legislation for REICs, the estimates of real estate investments must be supported by estimates
made by independent professional appraisers, included in the Register of Certified Appraisers of the Ministry of Finance for
June 30 and December 31st of each year.
The estimates are mainly based on discounted cash flow forecasts due to the nature of the investment properties. The
independent appraiser takes into account data from various sources, including:
 
Annual Separate and Consolidated Financial Report for the year ended
on December 31st, 2023
(Amounts presented in thousand € except if otherwise stated)
68
(i) Current prices in an active real estate market of a different nature, status or location (or subject to different leases or other
contracts), which have been adjusted for these differences.
(ii) Recent prices of similar properties in less active markets, adjusted to reflect any changes in economic conditions that have
occurred since the date on which those transactions were made at those prices.
(iii) Discounted cash flow, based on reliable estimates of future cash flows, derived from the terms of applicable leases and
other contracts and (where applicable) from external factors such as current rental rates of similar properties in the same
location and situation, using discount rates reflecting the current market estimate, regarding the uncertainty of the amount
and time of occurrence of these cash flows.
Regarding point (iii) above, for the application of cash flow discounting valuation techniques, assumptions are used, which are
mainly based on the prevailing market conditions, at the date of preparation of the financial statements.
The main assumptions underlying fair value estimates are those related to the collection of contractual rents, expected future
rents in the market, vacancies, maintenance obligations, and appropriate discount rates. These estimates are systematically
compared with actual data from the market, with the Company's transactions and with those announced by the market.
Expected future rents are determined on the basis of current rents, as those apply in the market, for similar properties, in the
same location and situation. Further information concerning the main assumptions can be found in Note 6.
5.
Segment reporting
The operational sectors of the Group and the Company are presented according to the investment activity sectors referred to
in internal reports and are used for decision-making and monitoring of the financial results by the Company's management
bodies, in accordance with its Articles of Association and its Internal Operating Regulations.
The operational sectors concern investment types of properties and include income from real estate assets belonging to
different types of properties.

of the Group are categorized into offices, mixed-use buildings (offices with ground-floor retail spaces), commercial
warehouses, hotels, stores, and properties of special use. The Company's land parcels are included in the logistics and hotel
sectors as they serve and are leased to the lessees of adjacent logistics and hotel properties, respectively. The properties of
special use include a property for the care and accommodation of the elderly.
The management of the Group monitors the operational results of the sectors separately with the aim of allocating resources
and evaluating performance. The assessment of sector performance is based on the profits related to investments in
properties as presented below. The Company applies the same principles for the aggregation of the operational results of the
sectors as those of the financial statements. The analysis of investments in properties by operational sector is presented in
Note 6.

Investment Property Valuation Method
According to the current legislation for REIC, the values of real estate investments are valued by independent appraisers,
whose reports must be prepared twice a year, on June 30th and December 31st. Each report is based on two methods
according to International Valuation Standards. For the estimation of the value of the Group's portfolio as at 31.12.2023, the
(a) method of comparative data or comparative method, (b) the method of capitalization of income or the method of
discounted cash flows (DCF) and (c) the residual method.
All the properties of the Group are located in Greece. The following table contains information on the valuation methods of

The logistics include the property at 123 Kifissou Street, which functions as a loading and unloading and vehicle parking area
to service the warehouse property at 125-127 Kifissou Street.
The measurement of the fair value of non-financial assets was determined by taking into consideration the Company's ability
to achieve their maximum and best use, assessing the use of each element that is physically possible, legally permissible, and
economically feasible. This assessment is based on the physical characteristics, permitted uses, and the opportunity cost of
the investments made.
Furthermore, the appraiser and the company understand the trends and emerging issues, incorporating, where possible based
on available data, the ESG criteria in the assessment process. In this context, the impact of ESG is taken into account and
measured by the market to reflect the actions of participants, buyers, sellers, tenants, and owners. In July 2023, the Company,
operating with a sense of its environmental responsibility and taking into account the new data brought by the new climate
law 4936/2022 and the ESG framework, conducted a "Gap Analysis" on its real estate portfolio with the aim of recording its
energy and carbon footprint, with the ultimate goal of finding measures to reduce its environmental footprint. During the
preparation of this report, the work is in the final stages, and the results will be reflected in the Company's Sustainable
Development Report for 2023, expected to be published in September 2024. From this, the next steps and the impact on the
Group and the Company will be derived. Concurrently, as part of the implementation of the Corporate Social Responsibility
program focusing on environmental protection, reducing its carbon footprint, and promoting renewable energy sources, the
Company is rapidly progressing with the installation of photovoltaic stations in its portfolio properties and their energy
upgrading. Additionally, the Company is constructing a new LEED-certified office building at 42 Poseidonos Avenue in Kallithea,
Attica, funded by the Recovery and Resilience Fund. The main method used for the valuation of the fair value of the Group's
real estate investment portfolio as of December 31, 2023, is the discounted cash flow method with primarily long-term lease
contracts.
The Company has developed a significant presence in the logistics, office, and hotel sectors, and the activity displayed within
these categories during 2023 (such as A-class office buildings in prime locations, new warehouses, and hotels), resulted in a
sufficient volume of comparative data that was taken into account during the assessments of the respective properties. The
investment portfolio in the Group's real estate, with an occupancy rate of around 99,2% (excluding the properties under
construction) and a collection rate of 100%, demonstrated significant resilience to the increasing challenges posed by high
inflation, rising interest rates, and intense geopolitical uncertainty primarily due to its composition. It mainly consists of high-

74
quality properties with stable income flows, as well as the specific characteristics regarding the quality of tenants and lease
terms, which were considered by the appraisers in determining the fair value of the Company's and the Group's investment
properties. On the other hand, the commercial real estate sector, excluding large stores, remains under pressure due to the
lack of sufficient market data, to the extent necessary for short-term leases, requiring a high degree of judgment in determining
the estimated cash flows used in the assessment of the fair value of the investment properties.
The fair value of the Real Estate Investments as of December 31, 2023 increased to €147,5 million compared to €135,0 million
as of December 31, 2022 (excluding the value of self-used properties of €1,4 million and €1,3 million, respectively). This
increase of €12,5 million is analyzed as follows:
An amount of €5,4 million pertains to capital expenditures for the renovation and development of existing properties.
An amount of €8,1 million relates to gains from the revaluation of investments in properties to fair value (+5.7% on the
value of property investments as of 31.12.2022).
A decrease of €0,9 million from the sale of investment properties.
The largest percentage increases from the revaluation of investments to fair value are in the Group's hotel sector, with gains
from the revaluation of property values at a rate of 7,7% (€2,1 million) compared to their value as of 31.12.2022. This increase
was considered by the appraiser due to the potential of the hotel locations, which continue their upward trend compared to
last year, their increased occupancy rates, and the higher revenues they achieved in 2023.
Furthermore, an increase in the revaluation of property values by 6,5% (€4,7 million) was observed in the warehouse sector,
specifically in the Logistics Park of Aspropyrgos, mainly due to the development undertaken by the Company and the ongoing
increase in rents.
The most significant non-observable data used in the estimation of the fair value of property investments include the monthly
market rent, the discount rate, the capitalization rate, the average daily room rate (ADR) used in the valuation of hotels, and
the construction period timeline.
If as of December 31, 2023, the discount rate used in the discounted cash flow analysis differed by +/-5% from the
Management's estimates, the accounting value of the property investments would be estimated at €3.975 thousand lower or
€4.153 thousand higher, compared to €3.792 thousand lower or €4.336 thousand higher for the respective estimates as of
December 31, 2022.
If as of December 31, 2023, the capitalization rate used in the discounted cash flow analysis differed by +/-5% from the
Management's estimates, the accounting value of the property investments would be estimated at €3.048 thousand lower or
€3.368 thousand higher, compared to €2.948 thousand lower or €3.887 thousand higher for the respective estimates as of
December 31, 2022.
If as of December 31, 2023, the monthly market rent used in the discounted cash flow analysis differed by +/-5% from the
Management's estimates, the accounting value of the property investments would be estimated at €3.263 thousand higher or
€2.265 thousand lower, compared to €3.606 thousand higher or €3.625 thousand lower for the respective estimates as of
December 31, 2022.
If as of December 31, 2023, the construction period for the under-construction investment properties in Poseidonos Avenue,
Aspropyrgos, and Paros is extended by six months, then the fair value of investments in properties would be €81 thousand
lower for offices and €453 thousand lower for warehouses, and €98 thousand lower for hotels compared to €80 thousand
lower for offices and €241 thousand lower for warehouses for the respective estimates as of December 31, 2022.
If by December 31, 2023, the Average Daily Rate (ADR) used in the estimation of the hotels differed by +/-5% from the
Management's estimates, then the accounting value of the property investments would be estimated to be €1.080 thousand
higher or €1.039 thousand lower.

As of December 31, 2022, the receivables from the Greek State include an amount of € 500 thousand for the refund of the
capital concentration tax and the remaining amount pertains to the refund of construction VAT. As of December 31, 2023, the
item concerns the receivable for the refund of construction VAT. It is noted that on December 19, 2022, the Company received
the decision of the Court of Appeals of Piraeus, accepting the Company's appeal for the refund of € 500 thousand, which
pertains to the aforementioned capital concentration tax. The amount was refunded to the Company on January 24, 2023.
The Company had submitted an application which was approved, and on May 17, 2023, it also received the legal interest
amounting to € 100 thousand.
The other receivables include an amount of € 65 thousand related to expenses from the initial stage of the transaction
concerning the merger by absorption of ICI with the acquisition of 16 properties, completed on January 31, 2024 (Note 31).
Historically, the Group has not incurred significant losses from the initial recognition of receivables, and no significant losses
are expected, as the property lease agreements are made with customers - tenants who have sufficient creditworthiness and
liquidity. The maximum exposure of the Group to credit risk mainly arises from transactions with related parties, as a significant
portion of the Group's real estate portfolio is leased to companies of the Quest Group and Sarmed Logistics.

The Group leases its properties under long-term operating lease agreements. Since the Group's properties are located in
Greece, the annual rent adjustments are linked to the Greek CPI. In most leases, in case of deflation, there is no negative
impact on the Group's income.
The Group's rental income is not subject to seasonal fluctuations, except for leases, mainly for tourist properties, where a
percentage of turnover is provided in addition to the monthly rent. This turnover percentage is calculated at the beginning of
each year and pertains to the previous calendar year.
The other income includes € 30 thousand for 2023 and € 32 thousand for 2022, which relate to income from the sale of
renewable energy sources from the photovoltaic station installed on the roof of one of the buildings of the subsidiary company
SARMED Warehouses. Additionally, in other income for 2023, there is an income of € 77 thousand, related to the subsidiary
company Plaza Hotel Skiathos, resulting from the insurance compensation for rental loss due to the flooding during the storm
DANIEL that affected the subsidiary's property in September 2023.

The amount of financial expenses in 2023 is increased mainly due to the rise in financing interest rates as well as the increase
in the Company's borrowing. Additionally, within the year 2023, interest expenses of a bond loan amounting to €114 thousand
were capitalized, related to the financing of the under-development storage and distribution center in Aspropyrgos based on
IFRS 23. The amortization of the present value of the loan is increased as a result of the modification of the terms of existing
loans that did not result in the cessation of recognition.

The profits from the revaluation of financial instruments at fair value through the statement of comprehensive income
amounting to €1.7 million relate to a result recognized based on the agreement dated February 23, 2023, among: a) The
Company, b) The Cypriot company named "Ajolico Trading Limited" (hereinafter "Ajolico"), the main shareholder of ICI with a
stake of approximately 78.78%, and c) ICI, with the purpose of the basic terms under which the Company and ICI will proceed
with a merger by absorption of ICI by the Company, in accordance with the provisions of Law 4601/2019, Law 4548/2018,
Article 54 of Law 4172/2013, the Regulation of the Athens Stock Exchange, and the legislation of the Capital Market (the
"Transaction"). Based on the above agreement, on January 31, 2024, the acquisition of 16 properties from ICI was completed
for a total amount of €56.6 million, and a preliminary agreement was signed for the transfer of another property at an agreed
price of €4.0 million (Stage "A"). According to the contract between the Parties as modified and in force, following the
completion of Stage A, ICI will proceed with distributions to its shareholders. In accordance with the provisions of the Share
Deal and Merger Agreement the Company and Ajolico should proceed with the over the direct counter sale and transfer of an
outstanding amount of ICI's shares corresponding to a fixed consideration of €10.2m (Phase B). Specifically, the Company has
the right to receive approximately 27% of the shares of ICI and the obligation to pay the fixed purchase price, subject to any
contractual adjustments, at the settlement date. Therefore, the forward contract for the purchase of shares is within the scope
of IFRS 9 and was accounted for as a derivative with changes in its fair value recognized in the income statement. On 31
December 2023 the fair value of the forward contract based on a valuation technique is €1.7m. The fair value of the forward
contract to buy the shares of ICI was calculated with an option pricing valuation model, using both observable and
unobservable inputs. Due to the significance of the unobservable inputs used, the whole fair value measurement was classified
in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Due to the short maturity of the forward contract, a reasonable increase/decrease in the
main unobservable inputs (net asset value per share, volatility) would result in an insignificant change in its fair value. In
addition, for the period ended 31 December 2023, there was no movement in the fair value of the contract. (2022: €0).

The Group's taxes for the year 2023 amounted to €709 thousand compared to €203 thousand for the year 2022, showing an
increase due to the rise in the value of the Group's investments and the increase in the reference interest rate by the ECB in
the second half of 2022. Investment Companies in Real Estate (REIC) according to article 31 par. 3 of law 2778/1999 as
amended, are not subject to income tax but are taxed at a rate of 10% on the current intervention interest rate of the European
Central Bank (Reference Interest Rate), increased by 1 percentage point (10,0% * (ECB Reference Interest Rate + 1,0%)), on
the average of their semi-annual investments plus available funds at current prices. Therefore, the corporate tax for the first
half of 2022 was set at a rate of 0.05% on the average of investments plus available funds for each respective half-year. In case
of a change in the Reference Interest Rate, the resulting new basis for calculating the tax applies from the first day of the next
month after the change. From the second half of 2022, the European Central Bank proceeded with a gradual increase in the
reference interest rate from 0%, which was in the first half of 2022, to 4,50% (as of 20/09/2023) for the calculation of the
second half of 2023. This led to an increase in the tax calculation rate compared to the corresponding period of 2022.
On 08.03.2023, a partial income tax audit report for the tax years 2018-2019 was communicated to the subsidiary "Sarmed
Warehouses A.E." for the split company "Greek Warehouses Sarantitis S.A.". As the universal successor of the split company,
Sarmed Warehouses A.E. paid a tax of €94 thousand. This amount, at a rate of 80%, i.e., €75 thousand, was attributed to the
parent company BriQ Properties on 04.04.2023 according to the share purchase agreement of 14.12.2020, which referred to
the non-tax-controllable uses before the acquisition.
Current tax liabilities include short-term obligations to the tax authorities as provided for by Article 31(3) of Law 2778/1999,
as amended.

the land registry entries related to the Company's property in Aspropyrgos with KAEK 050258050171/0/0. The correction
involves two parcels of land measuring 58,61 sq.m. and 1.090,42 sq.m. out of the total of 102.813,17 sq.m. owned by the

Based on the agreement between the Parties as amended and in force, after the completion of Stage A, ICI will proceed with
a reduction of its share capital and distributions to its shareholders. Subsequently, Ajolico, a major shareholder of ICI, will
transfer to BriQ shares issued by ICI, which will correspond to a value of €10.2 million, representing approximately 27% of the
share capital of ICI, as it will be configured after the reduction of the share capital and the distributions of Stage A (hereinafter
"Stage B").
Following the completion of Stage B, the parties will proceed with a merger by absorption of ICI by BriQ (hereinafter "Stage
C").
The acquisition of the above 17 properties as well as the shares of ICI will be financed through borrowing, while the merger by
absorption of ICI by BriQ will be carried out through an exchange of shares. The completion and the terms of the exchange will
be finalized in accordance with the terms of the contractual documents and will be subject to the confirmation of fairness and
reasonableness by the statutory auditors to be appointed as provided by the applicable legislation, and therefore subject to
the approval of the general assemblies of the shareholders of the two companies, with the result that the control of ICI will
not have been transferred by December 31, 2023. The Company estimates that following the completion of the merger by
absorption, the total portfolio of the Group's properties will amount to approximately € 270 million, while the total borrowing
will amount to approximately € 128 million (LTV 47%).
It is noted that each of the above stages B and C is subject to relative and corresponding suspensive conditions, including the
