The financial data and information presented below provide a general overview of the financial position and results of the Group and ELGEKA A.E. Trade - Distributions - Representations - Industry. Therefore, it is recommemded to any reader, before proceeeding to any investment decision or other transaction with the company, to visit the company's website (www.elgeka.gr) where the Interim Financial Statements prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards, are published, together with the review report of certified auditors - accountants whenever is required

Website: www.elgeka.gr Date of approval of the Interim Financial Statements of the 1st half : 30 August 2007

Certified Auditor Accountant: Nikolaos A. Arghyrou Audit firm : ERNST & YOUNG (HELLAS) CERTIFIED AUDITORS ACCOUNTANTS A.E. Type of auditor's opinion: Unqualified opinion

(2) SAMBROOK PHARMACEUTICAL S.A. was included in the current period Consolidated Financial Statements using the full consolidation method, because the Parent company ELGEKA S.A. participates directly in its share capital by 45% and the Group controls the majority of the voting rights due to an agreement with one of the shareholders. In the comparative period of 2006, ELGEKA S.A. participated indirectly (through HERO HELLAS S.A.) to SAMBROOK PHARMACEUTICAL S.A. (ex SAMBROOK & SIA O.E.) by 25,50% and had been fully consolidated by the exact share. (see note 1 Interim Financial Statements - Other Information).

(3) MEDIHELM PHARMAC.WHOLESALE STORE A.E. has been fully consolidated in the current period with the percentage of 51% (direct) while in the comparative period of 2006 it has been consolidated with the percentage of 50,49% (indirect). The reason for this change is that on September 28, 2006 the Parent Company acquired the 51% of MEDIHELM PHARMAC.WHOLESALE STORE A.E. from HERO HELLAS A.E. which owned the 99%.

(4) SAMBROOK PHARMA PHARMACEUTICALS LTD, which was established in October 2006, has been included in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the current period 01/01 – 30/06/2007 and has not been included in the comparative period. The company's figures considered as not important for the Group.

(5) ELGEKA FERFELIS BULGARIA LTD, which was established in July 2006, has been included in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the current period 01/01 – 30/06/2007 and has not been included in the comparative period. "ELGEKA FERFELIS ROMANIA SRL" participates in the aforementioned company by 75%. It should also be mentioned that the company's figures considered as not important in the consolidated results.

(6) On March 19, 2007 ELGEKA FERFELIS ROMANIA SRL established "ELGEKA FERFELIS SRL" located in Chisinau, Moldova whose operation will mainly be commercial including imports and exports of goods and services and commercial representation.

(7) HOODLE HOLDINGS LTD, is in the process of voluntary liquidation. The company's figures considered as not important for the Group and as a result no adjustments are required to be performed. (8) GREC ROM BUSINESS GROUP SRL has been consolidated using the proportionate method in the current period 01/01 – 30/06/2007 unlike the comparative period of 2006 when it has been fully consolidated. The rationale for this change in the consolidation method is that the Group no longer possesses the majority of the votes of the company while its share remains the same.

NOTES: a) PALIRRIA – SOULIOTIS S.A. has not been included in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the period 01/01 – 30/06/2007, unlike the comparative period of 2006, using the equity method, due to the disposal of the total share of 20% that the Parent Company possessed on December 20, 2006. In the Consolidated figures of the corresponding period in 2006 there is a total amount of euro 164 thousand concerning "Gains/(losses) from affiliated companies" from which an amount of euro 162 thousand concerned the results of PALIRRIA – SOULIOTIS S.A for that period. b) ONIA – NET S.A. was included in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the period 01/01 – 30/06/2006, unlike the current period due to its write – off on May 08, 2006 following the respective court decision (the aforementioned company had terminated its operation since 2003 and it was in a dormant state thereafter). The Company's figures considered as not significant for the Group, while in the Consolidated Financial Statements was fully impaired. c) NETWORK MARKETING SRL which was consolidated using the equity method has not been included in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the period 01/01 – 30/06/2007, unlike the comparative period of 2006, due to the completion of its liquidation process on June 26, 2006. The Company's figures considered as insignificant for the Group, and it was fully impaired. d) HIGHWAY TRADING SRL (subsidiary of ELGEKA S.A. with indirect participation of 100%, fully consolidated) has been absorbed by S.C. GATEDOOR HOLGINGS SRL on November 21, 2006. The book and fair values applied were the same with those on March 31, 2006. e) EVEREST FRANCHISING SRL together with both its subsidiariesEVEREST FOODS SRL and EVEREST PRODUCTION SRL has been included in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the period 01/01 – 30/06/2006 using the equity method, unlike the current period, because ELGEKA (CYPRUS) LTD disposed its share of 49,22% in the EVEREST FRANCHISING SRL and consequently in its subsidiaries (99,98% and 98,00% share in EVEREST FOODS SRL and EVEREST PRODUCTION SRL respectively) during the first quarter 2007. The gain on the above disposal amounted to euro 30 thousand. The figures of the above companies considered as insignificant for the Group.

2. The accounting principles applied are the same with the ones applied for the preparation of the annual Financial Statements for the year ended on
-- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- -- --

December 31, 2006. 3. There are no encumbrances on the fixed assets of the Parent Company, while there are mortgages on the buildings of subsidiaries amounting to euro 11.607 thousand as security for loans.

6. Sales and purchases (of goods and services) aggregated from the beginning of the period as well as receivable and payable balances of the parent Company and the Group in the end of the current period, created from transactions with related companies, as these are defined in IAS 24, are given below:

  • 7. Investments in fixed assets that took place from the Parent Company and the Group during the first half of 2007 amounted to euro 929 thousand (1st half 2006: euro 393 thousand) and euro 4.676 thousand respectively (1st half 2006: euro 2.331 thousand).
  • 8. The income statement account of the Group and the Company "Other financial results", includes gain on sale (13/4/2007) of available for sale financial assets amounting to euro 1.226 thousand.
