The decrease in the results before taxes is due to: a significant increase in depreciation due to the revaluation of the useful life of mechanical equipment, as provided by the International Financial Reporting Standards; the impairment of obsolete and underutilized assets; and a significant increase in provisions, reflecting realistically the Company's and third parties' claims.

Commenting on the financial results, Chairman of the BoD and Chief Executive Officer of ThPA SA, Sotiris Theopanis, stated: 'ThPA SA has great financial and growth potential, that should be properly exploited. The new Management Team with a strong sense of responsibility is willing to work with vision; plan; and commitment for the Company's growth and to respond to the trust of the shareholders and the economic community of Northern Greece as well.
In the context of this effort, the financial statements reflect realistically the financial position of the Company. We will continue in the same way, our committed effort on the Company's growth'.
