Furthermore it sets the requirements of relevant disclosures for the products and services, the geographical area and the significant clients. The new standard is not expected to have a significant effect on the Group's financial ftatements.

IFRIC 7 Applying the Restatement Approach under IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflatory Economies: (effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 March 2006)

IFRIC 7 requires entities to apply IAS 29 in the reporting period in which an entity first identifies the existence of hyperinflation in the economy of its functional currency as the economy had always been hyperinflatory. IFRIC 7 is not relevant to the Group's financial statements.

10. VOLUNTARY RETIREMENT PROGRAM COST

On 28 February 2007, OTE signed a collective labor agreement with OME-OTE, according to which, eligible employees will be entitled to benefits in order to retire up to 30 December 2007. The deadline for the applications' submission on behalf of the employees expired on 31 March 2007 and can not be recalled. The relative total cost was determined to Euro 22.1 and is included in the income statement of the first half 2007.

In May 2007 European Commission by its relevant decision with reference number 2/2006 (ex L 405/2005) judged that Hellenic Republic's proposal to grant a 4% of its ownership to OTE Pension Fund, according to the article 74 of L. 3371/2005 is not against common market regulation as is defined in the article 87 paragraph 3. The total contribution of the Hellenic Republic to OTE Pension Fund according to the above decision could not exceed the amount of Euro 390.4. The exact amount will depend on the timing and the procedures that will be followed by the Hellenic Government for the implementation of the decision.

12. SEGMENT REPORTING

The following information is provided for the reportable segments, which are separately disclosed in the financial statements and is regularly reviewed by the Group's chief operating decision makers.

Segments were determined based on the Group's legal structure, as the Group's chief operating decision makers review financial information separately reported by the parent company (OTE) and each of the Group's consolidated subsidiaries.

Using quantitative thresholds OTE, COSMOTE and ROMTELECOM, have been determined as reportable segments. Information about operating segments that do not constitute reportable segments have been combined and disclosed in an "All Other" category.

Accounting policies of the segments are the same as those followed for the preparation of the financial statements. The Group evaluates segment performance based on operating income before depreciation and amortization, operating income and profit for the period.

15. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

OTE's repeating General Assembly of 3 April 2007 approved the Board of Directors' decision to adopt a management stock option plan (the "Option Plan") based on performance conditions for OTE's management personnel and Directors of subsidiaries.

More specifically, the beneficiaries are entitled to obtain a certain number of options of the Company for a predefined price (Exercise price), by the end of a certain period of time, based upon the satisfaction of certain criteria of performance, individual and of the Company, during the respective period.

The Option Plan's is expected to be implemented in 2007. The Option Plan, permits our Board of Directors to grant Option Rights to eligible employees on an annual basis. Upon their initial participation in the Option Plan, eligible employees become entitled to a number of initial options ("Basic Option Rights"), while, in subsequent years, the Board may also grant to eligible employees further option ("Additional Option Rights") on an annual basis.

Basic Option Rights vest in stages over a three-year period (40%, 30% and 30% upon the first, second and third anniversaries, respectively, of the commencement of the Plan), while Additional Option Rights vest 100%, upon the third anniversary of the commencement of the Plan.

Each Option Right represents the right to one share. Beneficiaries may exercise vested Option Rights within the first four years from the vesting date of such rights for the first vested Option Rights under the Option Plan, the exercise price will be equal to the average closing price of our shares in the second half of the year immediately preceding the date on which the Board of Directors recommended the Option Plan to the General Assembly for approval. As for subsequent implementations, the exercise price will be equal to the average closing price of the shares during the month immediately preceding the date on which the Board of Directors granted such rights.

The number of granted Rights for the first implementation of the Option Plan, is adjusted according to the beneficiary's seniority level, as follows:

  • a. With respect to the Managing Director, the General Directors and Deputy General Directors, the maximum aggregate value of Option Rights that may be granted under the Option Plan, according to the exercise price can be up to five times the beneficiary's annual gross salary with respect to Basic Option Rights and up to the annual gross salary with respect to Additional Option Rights.
  • b. With respect to other beneficiaries, the following table sets out the maximum numbers of Basic and Additional Option Rights that, according to the beneficiary's seniority level, may be granted under the Option Plan, in its first three years:
Beneficiaries Maximum number of
Basic Rights per
beneficiary
in the first three years

Report on Review of Interim Financial Information

To the Shareholders of Hellenic Telecommunications Organization S.A.

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying Stand Alone and Consolidated Balance Sheets of Hellenic Telecommunications Organization 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).
