NOTES

-

When the minus sign (-) appears to Income Tax Payable account or to other Tax accounts indicates that company is obliged to pay the particular tax amount, while the opposite signifies a tax return.

-

Some ratios are calculated using the average value of the accounts of the Balance Sheet or Midterm Statements. For applying this type of calculation, company's financial statements must be presented in succession, with common accounting standards (either Greek Standards or IFRS) and with the same depth of analysis. In the opposite case, the corresponding ratios are calculated based on the accounts as at they are presented in the reporting year.
