SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES USED IN THE PREPARATION OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accounting principles set out below have been applied consistently for fiscal year 2020 and the prior year.
2.1. BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
The Consolidated Financial Statements comprise those of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries, of which the Parent owns, directly or indirectly, a majority of the voting rights and over which it exercises control, or from which it is able to ben- efit by virtue of its power to govern the subsidiaries financial and operating policies.
The financial results of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the Parent Company, using con- sistent accounting policies.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and cease to be consol- idated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group. Where the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the Consolidated Financial Statements include the results for the portion of the reporting period during which the Parent Com- pany had control. In the Consolidated Financial Statements, non-controlling interests are presented separately within eq- uity and in the statement of income. Changes in the parent s ownership interest, that do not result in a loss of control or changes that represent acquisition of non-controlling inter- ests after the control has been obtained, are accounted for as changes in equity.
In preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements, the effects, the balances as well as the unrealised profit or loss recognised in assets resulting from intra-group transactions are fully eliminated.
INVESTMENTS IN ASSOCIATES
Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method whereas the initial recognition is stated at acquisition cost and adjusted thereafter for the post-acquisition change in the investor s share of net assets. On acquisition of the in- vestment any difference between the cost of the investment and the investor s share of the net fair value of the associate s assets and liabilities is included in the carrying amount of the investment. If the investor s share of losses of the associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, the investor s interest is reduced to zero and additional losses are provided for and a liability is recognised to the extent that the investor has incurred a legal obligation or has the intention to make payments on behalf of the associate.
2.2. FOREIGN CURRENCY
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group s entities are measured using the currency of the pri- mary economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency).
TRANSACTIONS IN FOREIGN CURRENCIES
Foreign currency transactions are recorded by applying the spot exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Monetary
assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, which are held at year-end, are translated into the functional curren- cy at the exchange rate ruling at the reporting date. Exchange differences arising on the settlement on the translation of mon- etary transactions at a rate different from those at which they were translated at initial recognition are recognised in the con- solidated income statement in the period in which they arise.
TRANSLATION OF THE RESULTS OF OVERSEAS BUSINESSES
Assets and liabilities of overseas subsidiaries included in the Consolidated Financial Statements are translated into the Group s reporting currency of Euros at the exchange rate rul- ing at the reporting date. Income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the reporting period, as it is considered to approximate at best the actual exchange rate at the transaction date. Differences arising on the adoption of this method are recognised separately in other compre- hensive income and are presented in a separate component of equity as translation reserve until disposal of the foreign operation. Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the ex- change rate ruling at the reporting date.
The main exchange rates used to convert into Euro the Consolidated Financial Statements of foreign subsidiaries as at and for the years ended 31 December 2020 and 31 Decem- ber 2019 are as follows:
