2. Basis of preparation

The attached Interim Parent Company and Consolidated Financial Statements (herein referred to as the "Financial Statements") have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". The Financial Statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for the valuation of various assets and liabilities, which are at fair value, and on a going, concern basis.

3. Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies and valuation methods adopted and followed are the same as those in the published Financial Statements as at 31/12/2006.

Note that because the Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting", they do not contain all the information required by the year-end financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group's published financial statements as at 31/12/2006 which have been uploaded to the internet at the address www.fourlis.gr.

For purposes of better information, specific accounts of the interim financial statements have been reclassified and the respective accounts of the previous financial period have been reformed accordingly for comparison reasons.

4. Management's estimates

The preparation of interim financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions, which may affect the amounts recorded as assets, liabilities, income and expenses during the period, as well as the disclosures for contingent assets and liabilities. The use of available information and the application of judgment are an integral part in the determination of estimates. The actual final outcomes may vary from the above estimates.

Management's estimates are constantly re-evaluated in accordance with historical data and future expectations, and are judged in accordance with present conditions.

5. Segment information

The Group's activities comprise mainly one geographical area, that of the wider European region, and mainly in Greece and also in countries of Southeastern Europe, therefore the main financial interest is concentrated in the business classification of the Group's activities, where the different economic environments comprise different risks and rewards.

Report on Review of Interim Financial Information

(Translated from the original in Greek)

To the Shareholders of FOURLIS HOLDINGS S.A.

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying Stand Alone and Consolidated Balance Sheet of FOURLIS HOLDINGS S.A. (the "Company") as at 30 June 2007, the related Stand Alone and Consolidated Statements of Income, Changes in Equity and Cash Flows for the six-month period then ended and a summary of explanatory notes (the "Interim Financial Information"). Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this Interim Financial Information in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards adopted by the European Union applicable to Interim Financial Information (IAS 34). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this 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" as specified by Greek Auditing Standards. 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 Greek Auditing Standards 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 as at 30 June 2007 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards adopted by the European Union applicable to Interim Financial Information (IAS 34).

Matter of emphasis

Without qualifying our review report, we draw attention to note 11 to the attached Interim Financial Information that explains that the tax obligations of the Group have not yet been audited by the tax authorities for certain years and accordingly its tax obligations for those years are not considered final. The outcome of a tax audit can not presently be determined.
