On the 7 item,the President of the General Meeting, Mr. Dimitrios Malamos, informed the attendants as well as the represented shareholders regarding the financial performance during the fiscal year 2017 saying that in the 1st quarter of the current fiscal year the sales volume posted a two digit growth rate compared to the same period of year 2016. As result of the investments implemented for new production lines during the period 2015 - 2016, the technical fabrics sector was the largest contributor in the above sales volume growth. Despite the above but also in line with the management's expectations, the sales volume growth was not reflected into the profit mainly due to the actions taken for the distribution of the increased production volumes and the increase of raw material prices. It is estimated that the raw material prices are likely to appreciate during the second quarter of the year as well therefore the Group has planned all the necessary actions for the rollover of raw material price increases into the final sale prices as well as for the utilization of the new production lines.

In closing the President of the General Meeting noted that prospects of the Group during the current fiscal year 2017 depend directly on the conditions prevailing in both the domestic as well as the global market and economy. However the strong capital structure of the Group in combination with the healthy operating and organizational structures it possesses provide the Management with the ability to effectively manage any difficulties arising and to continue implementing its strategic plan on an uninterrupted basis.
