3. Main risks and uncertainties in the second semester of 2016

We present the main risks and uncertainties which Group may be exposed.

Risk from the impact of adverse economic circumstances on the Greek economy

The macroeconomic and financial environment in Greece remains volatile during 2016 due to developments and discussions at national and international level on the review of the terms of Greece's funding program. On 29.06.2015 the Greek Government imposed capital controls and declared bank holiday that lasted until 19.07.2015, facts that have significantly affected consumer behavior and spending capacity.

During the third quarter of 2015, the negotiations of the Hellenic Republic for the coverage of the financing needs of the Greek economy were completed on the basis of the announcements at the Euro Summit on 12.7.2015 resulting in an agreement for a new financial support by the European Stability Mechanism. The relative agreement with the European Stability Mechanism (ESM), that was signed on 19.8.2015, among others, provides for the coverage of the financing needs of the Greek State for the medium-term period from 2015 to 2018, provided that the economic reforms that are expected to contribute to the economic stability and the sustainable development of the Greek economy will be implemented.

Although any further negative development in the economy would affect the normal operations as well as from the assessment of the Greek economy from international creditors in the context of the above mentioned agreement, Management continually adjusts to the situation and ensures that all necessary actions are taken, to maintain undisturbed activities.

Change in regulatory requirements

The developments in the Greek regulatory framework, drive evolving regulatory challenges for the Group. Changes in the regulatory environment may have a substantial impact, through restricting betting activities or changing compliance costs and taxes.

OPAP consistently complies with regulatory standards, while understands and addresses changing regulatory requirements in an efficient and effective manner. At the same time new regulatory regimes which make it commercially unviable for the Company to operate its products can restrict our ability to grow the business. Additionally, restrictions on advertising can reduce our ability to reach new customers, thus impacting our strategic objectives to focus on sustainable value increase. OPAP is willing to actively engage and maintain dialogue with authorities, regulators and other key stake holders, to continually monitor the changing regulatory/legal landscape and through appropriate policies, processes and controls for a rational and balanced gaming regulation.

Tax Change risk

The Company is exposed to the risk of changes to the existing gaming taxation status or the gaming tax rates, creating unexpected increased costs for the business and impacting our strategic objectives for sustainable revenues and additional investments. The Company is seeking to promptly respond to any potential tax changes, by maintaining the required tax planning resources and developing contingency plans so as to implement the required mitigating actions and to minimize the overall impact.

Market risk

Market risk arises from the possibility that changes in market prices such as exchange rates and interest rates affect the results of the Group and the Company or the value of financial instruments held. The management of market risk consists in the effort of the Group and the Company to control their exposure to acceptable limits.

Currency risk

Group operates in Greece and Cyprus, and there are not any agreements with suppliers in currencies other than in euro. All revenues from games are in euro, transactions and costs are denominated or based in euro, subsequently, there is not any substantial foreign exchange risk. Additionally, the vast majority of Group's cost base is, either proportional to our revenues (i.e. payout to winners, agents commission) or to transactions with domestic companies (i.e. IT, marketing).

Capital Management

The primary objective of the Group and the Company, relating to capital management is to ensure and maintain strong credit ability and healthy capital ratios to support the business plans and maximize value for the benefit of shareholders.

The Group manages the capital structure and makes the necessary adjustments to conform to changes in business and economic environment in which they operate. The Group and the Company in order to optimize the capital structure, may adjust the dividend paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares.

Credit risk

The Group's exposure to credit risk arises mainly from agents' bad debts as well as from the debts of agents for which arrangements have been made. The main credit risk management policy is the establishment of credit limits per agent. Additionally, the Group is taking all necessary steps to mitigate credit risk exposure towards financial institutions. The Group is also exposed towards credit risk in respect of entities with which it has deposited funds or with which it has other contractual relationships. The Group manages credit risk exposure to its agents through various practices. Each agent is required to provide the Group with a warranty deposit as a guarantee. These deposits are aggregated and are available in the event of a default in payment by any agent. In addition, a maximum amount that an agent may owe during each settlement period has been imposed. If the amounts owed by an agent exceed the relevant limit during any settlement period, the agent's terminal is automatically blocked from accepting wagers.

Liquidity risk

OPAP S.A. | 112 Athinon Ave, 104 42 Athens, Greece, Tel: +30 (210) 5798800 The Group manages liquidity risk by managing betting games' payout ratio and the proper design of each game. With the exception of fixed-odds sports betting games, all of the remaining games have a theoretical payout (relating to prizes normally attributed to winners) based on each game's mathematics. As the theoretical payout is calculated on a very large number of draws, small deviations can occur in some of the numerical games in shorter time frames. For example, Kino is a fixed odds game that statistically distributes approximately 69.5% of net receivables to the winners, with deviations mostly around 1%. The Group manages liquidity risk by limiting the size of player winnings. For example, Kino has a maximum prize of € 1.0 million. Maximum winnings/column are also defined for Stihima, a fixed odds betting game in which winning depends on correctly guessing the results of sporting events, and other events that by their nature allow for wagering. For Stihima game a comprehensive risk management methodology is implemented at different stages of the sport-betting cycle, setting different limits and odds per sport, league and game while treating each event

differently. At any given time, bets placed are tracked, received and accepted or not accepted. In addition, the trading team can also monitor any high bets placed and negotiate with the bettor so that the bet is within the approval limits. Finally, proper software is used to find, in real-time, suspicious betting patterns and cases for sure bets or arbitrage opportunities.

Cash flow risk and fair value change risk due to interest rate changes

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk principally in relation to outstanding debt. The existing debt facilities, as of 30.06.2016, were the Company's Bond Loans, HELLENIC LOTTERIES S.A. Bond Loan and Horse Races S.A. Bond Loan. The Group follows all market developments with regards to the Interest Rate environment and acts accordingly. On 30.06.2016 the Group had no outstanding hedge transactions.

Security risk

Reliability and transparency in relation to the operation of the games are ensured by several security measures designed to protect information technology system from breaches in security such as illegal retrieval and illegal storage of data and accidental or intentional destruction of data. Security measures cover data processing system, software applications, the integrity and availability of data and the operation of the on-line network.

5. Company's strategy and Group's prospects for the second semester of 2016

Business Strategy: Long-Term Strategic Priorities

OPAP aims to be established as a "world class gaming entertainment company". Through the development of a complete and comprehensive product offering and a modern, dedicated and branded agency network, OPAP will be able to compare positively with its peers. The intention is, not only to maintain the status as a strong player in the European gaming sector, but also to promote and invest in the brand, with the long-term strategic priorities being formed as follows:

Embedding Customer Obsession

Making sure that Customer Focus is embedded as a company–wide obsession and that the relation with, and understanding of its customers is as wide and deep as possible, consists a major priority. The Company puts emphasis on strengthening the relationship with customers, enriching customer experience by remote gambling and building better understanding of its customers.

Investing In Our Network

Definitely, it is the most critical part of OPAP's business. The Company is dedicated to invest in any relevant area in order to both strengthen and maximize the potential of its Network. To this end, OPAP's intention is to develop a standardized, unified top-class customer experience within store facilities. This, alongside with operational improvements, will boost stores' efficiency.

Building a World-class Portfolio of Products and Services

Learning from both customer feedback and other international markets in order to offer a broad range of attractive, industry-leading, products and services across all channels consists a key-goal of the company. To this end, OPAP will establish a dedicated business development team with focus on accelerating the strengthening of existing products, improving customer frequency and turnover and developing new attractive products.

Developing Our People

Attracting, retaining and developing a diverse group of high-performing employees and agents fully engaged and motivated in the delivery of our strategic objectives is of significant importance. Accordingly, enforcing the concept of teamwork and team building, investing on the talent development and recognizing the high-performing teams, will improve collaboration between individuals and increase the motivation of all employees.

Leveraging the latest Digital & Technology capabilities

Transformation of the role of technology within the company aims to accelerate, innovate and create new products and services for both our customers and our people. Focusing on new-technology driven services developing industry-leading digital gaming experience by recruiting young, talented developers will contribute to further improving our customer understanding, bring new ideas and drive corporate cultural change.

Maximising the power of our Brand

The objective is to leverage on OPAP's strong brand awareness by maximizing its capacity as one of the most well-known brands in Greece/Cyprus.

Committing to our Communities and our Society

Maintaining a strong commitment to its communities, OPAP will enhance the ongoing investment in the CSR activities. The company is committed to support the following four CSR pillars: Sport, Health, Employment, and Responsible Gaming. The reflection of these actions will further highlight the company's significant contribution to Society and its ongoing engagement.

Commit to a prudent financial policy by focusing on cash generation and limited leverage

The Group has a strong track record of profitability. The aim is to increase EBITDA primarily driven by the new product offering and focusing on cost efficiency and robust cash flow generation. There is a clear intention to distribute the bulk of the FCF as dividend, excluding any potential investments, in a counterbalanced manner (i.e. semi-annually twice a year). In any case, the Company remains committed to a prudent financial policy aiming to safeguard long-term returns to shareholders.

An asset-light agent business model will be maintained with targeted investments in personnel, network and equipment. The proven ability to effectively manage payout ratio coupled with the largely variable cost structure and fixed cost optimization initiatives, will allow the Group to maintain a high level of cash flow from operating activities. The high cash conversion rate is reinforced by the moderate ongoing maintenance capital expenditure requirements and the absence of any major upfront concession payments in the short-to-medium term.

The management is confident that the flexible operating structure, effective cost management and structurally capital expenditure requirements, coupled with the well-invested game offering, represent key elements of an attractive financial profile.

C. Condensed Interim Financial Statements

The attached Condensed Interim Financial Statements as of 30 June 2016 were approved by the Board of Directors of OPAP S.A. on 30 August 2016 and are posted at the Company's website www.opap.gr as well as in the website of Athens Stock Exchange. The attached Condensed Interim Financial Statements will remain at the disposal of investors for at least five years from the date of their announcement. It is noted that the published attached condensed financial information arises from the Condensed Interim Financial Statements, which aim to provide the reader with a general information about the financial status and results of the Company but they do not present a comprehensive view of the financial position and results of financial performance and cash flows of OPAP S.A. (the "Company") and the Group of OPAP S.A. (the "Group"), in accordance with the International Financial Reporting

Independent Auditors' Report on Review of Condensed Interim Financial Information

(Translated from the original in Greek)

To the Shareholders of Greek Organization of Football Prognostics S.A.

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying Condensed Standalone and Consolidated Statement of financial position of Greek Organization of Football Prognostics S.A. (the "Company") as of 30 June 2016 and the related Condensed Standalone and Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, Changes in Equity and Cash Flows for the six-month period then ended and the selected explanatory notes, which comprise the interim financial information and which forms an integral part of the six-month financial report of article 5 of Law 3556/2007. Company's management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this condensed interim financial information in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards adopted by the European Union and specifically with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this condensed interim financial information based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 "Review of interim financial information performed by the independent auditor of the entity". A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting".

Report on other legal and regulatory requirements

Our review did not identify any inconsistency or disparity of the other information of the sixmonth financial report as provided for by article 5 of L. 3556/2007 with the accompanying interim financial information.

D. Notes on the condensed interim financial statements

5. General information for the Group and the Company

OPAP S.A. (the "Company" or "parent company" was established as a private legal entity in 1958. It was reorganized as a société anonyme in 1999 domiciled in Greece and its accounting as such began in 2000. The Company's registered offices and principal place of business, is 112 Athinon Avenue, 104 42 Athens, Greece. OPAP's shares are listed in the Athens Stock Exchange.

The group OPAP ("the Group") beyond the parent company includes the companies which OPAP S.A., either directly or indirectly controls.

The Condensed Interim Financial Statements for the period that ended on 30.06.2016 (including the comparatives for the period that ended on 30.06.2015 and for the year that ended on 31.12.2015) were approved by the Board of Directors on 30.08.2016.

6. Basis for the preparation of the condensed interim financial statements

The condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting".

The condensed interim financial statements do not include all the information required in the annual financial statements and for this reason they should be read along with the annual audited financial statements for the year ended 31.12.2015 which can be found in the Company's website www.opap.gr.

The condensed interim financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost principle and the principle of the going concern.

The preparation of the condensed interim financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires the Management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies.

The condensed interim financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies as were applied in the annual financial statements for the year ended 31.12.2015, considering the changes to Standards and Interpretations applicable from 01.01.2016.

All amounts presented in the condensed interim financial statements are in thousands of euro unless otherwise stated.

The amounts included in the financial statements have been rounded in thousands of euro. Any differences between the amounts included in the financial statements and the respective amounts included in the notes are attributed to roundings.

The comparative figures have been reclassified where was necessary in order to comply with changes in presentation of the current period.

6.1. Important accounting decisions, estimations and assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Fair value of financial instruments

Management uses techniques of assessment of fair value of financial instruments where they are not available prices from active market. For the application of techniques of assessment, Management uses the best available estimates and assumptions that are in line with the existing information which participants would use in order to value a financing instrument. Where the information does not exist, Management uses the best possible estimates for the assumptions to be used. These estimates may differ from the real prices at the closing date of the financial statements.

6.2. Seasonality

Under the International Financial Reporting Standards, the Company's operations are not affected by seasonality or cyclical factors, except for those relating to PAME STIHIMA sales that increase in connection with significant sports events, such as the UEFA Euro or the FIFA World Cup.

7. Group structure

There are no changes in the structure of OPAP Group as at 30.06.2016.

8. Operating segments

A segment is a distinguishable component of the Group that is engaged either in providing products or services (business segment) or in providing products or services within a particular economic environment (geographical segment), which is subject to risks and rewards that are different from those of other segments. The Management recognizes business segment as primary and reports separately revenues and results from each game. The reports concerning results per game are the basis for the management's decisions, mainly the Chairman and CEO of OPAP S.A..

9.20. Risk management from macroeconomic developments

Risk from the impact of adverse economiccircumstances on the Greek economy

The macroeconomic and financial environment in Greece remains volatile during 2016 due to developments and discussions at national and international level on the review of the terms of Greece's funding program. On 29.06.2015 the Greek Government imposed capital controls and declared bank holiday that lasted until 19.07.2015, facts that have significantly affected consumer behavior and spending capacity.

During the third quarter of 2015, the negotiations of the Hellenic Republic for the coverage of the financing needs of the Greek economy were completed on the basis of the announcements at the Euro Summit on 12.7.2015 resulting in an agreement for a new financial support by the European Stability Mechanism. The relative agreement with the European Stability Mechanism (ESM), that was signed on 19.8.2015, among others, provides for the coverage of the financing needs of the Greek State for the medium-term period from 2015 to 2018, provided that the economic reforms that are expected to contribute to the economic stability and the sustainable development of the Greek economy will be implemented.

Although any further negative development in the economy would affect the normal operations as well as from the assessment of the Greek economy from international creditors in the context of the above mentioned agreement, Management continually adjusts to the situation and ensures that all necessary actions are taken, to maintain undisturbed activities.

Change in regulatory requirements

The developments in the Greek regulatory framework, drive evolving regulatory challenges for the Group. Changes in the regulatory environment may have a substantial impact, through restricting betting activities or changing compliance costs and taxes.

OPAP consistently complies with regulatory standards, while understands and addresses changing regulatory requirements in an efficient and effective manner. At the same time new regulatory regimes which make it commercially unviable for the Company to operate its products can restrict our ability to grow the business. Additionally, restrictions on advertising can reduce our ability to reach new customers, thus impacting our strategic objectives to focus on sustainable value increase. OPAP is willing to actively engage and maintain dialogue with authorities, regulators and other key stake holders, to continually monitor the changing regulatory/legal landscape and through appropriate policies, processes and controls for a rational and balanced gaming regulation.

Tax Change risk

The Company is exposed to the risk of changes to the existing gaming taxation status or the gaming tax rates, creating unexpected increased costs for the business and impacting our strategic objectives for sustainable revenues and additional investments. The Company is seeking to promptly respond to any potential tax changes, by maintaining the required tax planning resources and developing contingency plans so as to implement the required mitigating actions and to minimize the overall impact.

Market risk

Market risk arises from the possibility that changes in market prices such as exchange rates and interest rates affect the results of the Group and the Company or the value of financial instruments held. The management of market risk consists in the effort of the Group and the Company to control their exposure to acceptable limits.

Currency risk

Group operates in Greece and Cyprus, and there are not any agreements with suppliers in currencies other than in euro. All revenues from games are in euro, transactions and costs are denominated or based in euro, subsequently, and there is not any substantial foreign exchange risk. Additionally, the vast majority of Group's cost base is, either proportional to our revenues (i.e. payout to winners, agents commission) or to transactions with domestic companies (i.e. IT, marketing).

Capital Management

The primary objective of the Group and the Company, relating to capital management is to ensure and maintain strong credit ability and healthy capital ratios to support the business plans and maximize value for the benefit of shareholders.

The Group manages the capital structure and makes the necessary adjustments to conform to changes in business and economic environment in which they operate. The Group and the Company in order to optimize the capital structure, may adjust the dividend paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares.

Credit risk

The Group's exposure to credit risk arises mainly from agents' bad debts as well as from the debts of agents for which arrangements have been made. The cumulative figure for the Group for bad debts up to 30.06.2016 amounts to € 35,216 million and a respective provision of 100% has been already included in the interim condensed Financial Statements. The main credit risk management policy is the establishment of credit limits per agent. Additionally, the Group is taking all necessary steps to mitigate credit risk exposure towards financial institutions. The Group is also exposed towards credit risk in respect of entities with which it has deposited funds or with which it has other contractual relationships. The Group manages credit risk exposure to its agents through various practices. Each agent is required to provide the Group with a warranty deposit as a guarantee. These deposits are aggregated and are available in the event of a default in payment by any agent. In addition, a maximum amount that an agent may owe during each settlement period has been imposed. If the amounts owed by an agent exceed the relevant limit during any settlement period, the agent's terminal is automatically blocked from accepting wagers.

Liquidity risk

OPAP S.A. | 112 Athinon Ave, 104 42 Athens, Greece, Tel: +30 (210) 5798800 The Group manages liquidity risk by managing games' payout ratio and the proper design of each game. With the exception of fixed-odds sports betting games, all of the remaining games have a theoretical payout (relating to prizes normally attributed to winners) based on each game's mathematics. As the theoretical payout is calculated on a very large number of draws, small deviations can occur in some of the numerical games in shorter time frames. For example, Kino is a fixed odds game that statistically distributes approximately 69.5% of net receivables to the winners, with deviations mostly around 1%. The Group manages liquidity risk by limiting the size of player winnings. For example, Kino has a maximum prize of € 1.0 million. Maximum winnings/column are also defined for Stihima, a fixed odds betting game in which winning depends on correctly guessing the results of sporting events, and other events that by their nature allow for wagering. For Stihima game a comprehensive risk management

methodology is implemented at different stages of the sport-betting cycle, setting different limits and odds per sport, league and game while treating each event differently. At any given time, bets placed are tracked, received and accepted or not accepted. In addition, the trading team can also monitor any high bets placed and negotiate with the bettor so that the bet is within the approval limits. Finally, proper software is used to find, in real-time, suspicious betting patterns and cases for sure bets or arbitrage opportunities..

Cash flow risk and fair value change risk due to interest rate changes

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk principally in relation to outstanding debt. The existing debt facilities, as of 30.06.2016, were the Company's Bond Loans, HELLENIC LOTTERIES S.A. Bond Loan and Horse Races S.A. Bond Loan. The Group follows all market developments with regards to the Interest Rate environment and acts accordingly. On 30.06.2016 the Group had no outstanding hedge transactions.

Security risk

Reliability and transparency in relation to the operation of the games are ensured by several security measures designed to protect information technology system from breaches in security such as illegal retrieval and illegal storage of data and accidental or intentional destruction of data. Security measures cover data processing system, software applications, the integrity and availability of data and the operation of the on-line network.

9.21. Subsequent events

HELLENIC LOTTERIES S.A. – Share capital increase/decrease

The Extraordinary General Meeting of Hellenic Lotteries S.A. decided first, a share capital increase by €19,995 via capitalization part of share premium account without issuance of new shares and simultaneous increase of each share's nominal value. Secondly, a share capital decrease by € 19,995 was decided via decrease of each share's nominal value with return of the respective amount to the shareholders of the Company.
