Report on Review of Interim Financial Information

To the Sharehorders of «ATTICA HOLDINGS S.A.»

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of «ATTICA HOLDINGS S.A.» (the Company), as well as the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries (the Group) as of June 30, 2007 and the related statements of income, changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month period then ended, and the selected explanatory notes, that comprise the interim financial information and which form an integral part of the six-month financial report as required by article 5 of L.3556/2007. The Company's Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards that have been adopted by European Union and apply for 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 International Standard on Review

Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" to which the Greek Auditing Standards indict. 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.

Review 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.

Reference to Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

Apart from the aforementioned interim financial information, we also reviewed the remaining information included in the six-month financial report as required by article 5 of L.3556/2007 as well as the information required by the relevant Decisions of the Capital Markets Committee as set-out in the Law. Based on our review we concluded that the financial report includes the data and the information that are required by the Law and the Decisions referred to above and is consistent with the accompanying financial information.

HALF YEAR REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF ATTICA HOLDINGS S.A. regarding the Interim Financial Results of the period 01.01.2008 – 30.06.2008

(§5 of Law 3556/2007)

The Group's vessels operate in two main markets, the Adriatic Sea and the Greek domestic market. In the Adriatic Sea operate four Superfast and one Blue Star vessel on the routes Patras – Igoumenitsa – Ancona and Patras - Igoumenitsa – Bari, while in the Greek domestic market operate six Blue Star vessels on the routes of Cyclades and the Dodecanese Islands.

Further, the subsidiary Blue Star is also present in the North Sea market serving the route Zeebrugge (Belgium) – Rosyth (Scotland). Blue Star has already decided to discontinue this service and redeploy the vessel Blue Star 1 on the routes of Cyclades and the Dodecanese Islands.

During the first months of the first half of 2008 the Group proceeded to the sale of the four Ro-Ro vessels (Nordia, Marin, Challenge, and Shield) it owned. The contribution of these vessels to the Group's sales and results was very small.

Attica Group's Financial Results

The total revenue for the Group during the first half of 2008 was €156.48 million and the earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization reached €22.21 million. The figures for the same period of 2007 were €144.81 million and €30.08 million, respectively.

The figures per geographic segment are as follows: 48.56% of the revenue stems from the operations in the Adriatic Sea (49.34% for the first half of 2007), 42.73% stems from the operation in the domestic Greek Market (versus 39.83%), and 6.98% stems from the North Sea operations (versus 8.55%), while the rest of the revenue represent 1.73% (versus 2.88%). The main source of the earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization was the domestic Greek market, while the contribution from the operations in the Adriatic Sea to the Group's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization was low when compared with the one of the same period of 2007.

The main factors that affected the results of the first half of 2008 were the high price of the marine fuel oil and the intensity of competition. It is worth noticing here that according to a ministerial decree, the use of low sulphur fuel oil became mandatory since 01.10.2007 to all passenger ships serving the Greek domestic market. This type of fuel oil (380 Cst, 1.5% sulphur) is more expensive than the 380 Cst, 3.5% sulphur fuel oil that all the vessels used. This switch to the new and more expensive fuel oil type caused an additional burden to all shipping companies' results. The average fuel oil price (380 Cst, 1.5% sulphur) increased by more than 60% compared with the already high price of the 380 Cst, 3.5% sulphur of the same period last year. The effect of this increase was that the vessels' operational expenses increased by €19.1 million compared with the same period of 2007. Additionally, the maturity phase the Adriatic Sea market has entered to, during the last years, led to a price competition curtailing the operational profitability in this market.

The Group's operation per geographic segment is as follows:

In the Adriatic Sea operate the vessels Superfast V, Superfast VI, Superfast XI, Superfast XII, and Blue Horizon on the Patras – Igoumenitsa – Ancona and Patras – Igoumenitsa – Bari routes. Despite the fact that this specific market has entered during the last years into a maturity phase and a fierce price competition, the Group achieved a revenue increase, from €71.45 million to €75.98 million (6.34% increase), mainly due to the increased number of the freight units carried. It must be noted that the number of sailings decreased by 1.99%.

The revenue increase has partially offset the considerable increase in the operational expenses, due to the increase of the fuel oil price. The result was that the earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization decreased by 53.78% from €10.19 mil (first half of 2007) to €4.71 million.

In the Greek domestic market the Group deploys the vessels Blue Star Paros, Blue Star Naxos, Blue Star Ithaki, and Superferry II on the Cyclades route and Blue Star 2 and Diagoras on the Dodecanese route. In this market the Group's revenue was €66.87 million, while during the same period of 2007 the revenue stood at €57.67 million (15.95% increase), despite the decrease of sailings by 5.17%. The vessels' load factor improvement contributed to the before-mentioned revenue increase.

This revenue increase has offset the operational cost increase, caused by the higher fuel oil price, so that the final result was a marginally higher earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. These earnings stood during the first half of 2008 at €19.16 million, versus €18.78 million during the same period of 2007 (2.01% increase).

In the Zeebrugge (Belgium) – Rosyth (Scotland) route the Group's revenue was €10.92 million, versus €12.38 million during the same period of 2007 (11.82% decrease), while the number of sailings was 150, versus 155 during the same period of 2007. The Group deployed on this route the vessel Superfast X until its sale at the 29th January, 2007 and then the vessel Blue Star 1. The Group's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization were negative (€-0.7 million) on this route, versus €0.90 million during the same period of 2007. The subsidiary Blue Star Ferries Group has decided the discontinuation of this service as of September 2008 and the redeployment of the vessel Blue Star 1 on the routes of Cyclades and the Dodecanese Islands.

The Group's total profit before taxes for the first half of 2008 was €9.74 million, including the €9.65 million profit from the sale of the four Ro-Ro vessels (Marin, Challenge, Shield, and Nordia). During the first half of 2007 the Group's total profit before taxes was €47.06 million, including the €12.5 million extraordinary profit from the sale of the vessel Superfast X and the €27.67 million profit from the sale of the Group's participation in Minoan Lines S.A.

The Group's total profit after taxes and minority interests was €5.51 million, versus €42.05 million during the same period of 2007.

It must be noted here that the Group's financial data during the first half of 2008 and those of the same period of 2007 are not completely comparable, since: a) the RoRo vessel Marin operated throughout the year 2007 until its sale at the beginning of February 2008, b) the RoRo vessel Nordia operated throughout the year 2007 until its sale at the beginning of April 2008, c) the RoRo vessels Challenge and Shield operated until their sale in mid February 2008. The Group acquired these vessels in the second half of 2007.

Analyzing the results of the first half of 2008, it must be taken into consideration the fact that the Group operates in markets with very high seasonality. The volumes carried in the passenger and private vehicle segments are high between July and September and low between November and February. The opposite takes place in the freight unit segment. The seasonality is lower in this segment, with the volumes carried being allocated evenly throughout the whole year.

Operating review

1. Adriatic Sea

The volumes carried of the four Superfast vessels (Superfast V, Superfast VI, Superfast XI, Superfast XII) on the Patras – Igoumenitsa – Ancona and Patras – Igoumenitsa – Bari routes during the first half of 2008 were 239,239 passengers, 43,521 private vehicles, and 66,376 freight units. Compared with the same period during 2007, these figures represent a 1.44% and 3.20% decrease in the passenger and private vehicle numbers, respectively and a 10.73% increase in the freight unit numbers. The number of sailings remained almost the same (0.86% increase during the first half of 2008).

Blue Star Ferries was present in the Adriatic Sea with the vessel Blue Horizon (on the Patras – Igoumenitsa – Bari route). The volumes carried of the Blue Star Group were 48,936 passengers (11.1% decrease compared with the same period during 2007), 5,091 private vehicles (28.05% decrease), and 12,525 freight units (9.23% decrease). The number of sailings decreased by 14.84% during the first half of 2008, compared with the same period during 2007.

The market shares of Superfast Group on the Greece – Italy routes for the first half of 2008 were 29.1% in the passenger (30.5% in the same period during 2007), 25.2% in the private vehicle (26.3% in the same period during 2007), and 25.3% in the freight unit segment (26.2% in the same period during 2007). The shares of the Blue Star Group were 5.9% in the passenger (versus 6.9%), 2.7% in the private vehicle (versus 3.7%), and 4.7% in the freight units segment (versus 5.9%).

The above-mentioned market shares were derived by data of the Greek Port Authorities of Patras and Igoumenitsa.

2. The Greek Domestic Market

The Group operated in the Piraeus – Cyclades, Rafina – Cyclades, and Piraeus – Dodecanes routes. Despite the fact that the number of sailings decreased by 5.17% during the first half of 2008, compared with the same period during 2007, the volumes carried increased significantly. The figures are 1,596,943 passengers, versus 1,502,805 during the same period of 2007 (increase 6.26%), 211,612 private vehicles, versus 196,759 during the same period of 2007 (increase 7.55%), and 58,353 freight units, versus 58,210 during the same period of 2007 (increase 0.25%).

Selected financial data and ratios

Total Equity for the Group after minority interests were €385.05 million, versus €389.12 million at 31.12.2007.

The Group's long-term debt obligations stood at €333.93 million, versus 361.75 million at 31.12.2007. The long-term liabilities to equity (after minority interests) ratio stood at 0.86 versus 0.93 for the fiscal year 2007. This considered satisfactory for the industry the Group is active in.

The Group's total bank obligations (long- and short-term debt) stood at €367.67 million, versus €422.80 million at 31.12.2007. The Group's cash position was at 30.06.2008 €158.89 million, versus €171.87 million at 31.12.2007.

The gearing ratio (net debt / total capital employed) was 29% at 30.06.2008, versus 33% at 31.12.2007.

The Group's liquidity ratio was 2.44 at 30.06.2008, versus 2.90 during the fiscal year 2007. The acid-test ratio was 2.40 at 30.06.2008, versus 2.85 during the fiscal year 2007. The equity (excluding minority interests) to total debt ratio was 1.05 at 30.06.2008, versus 0.92 during the fiscal year 2007.

The Group's cash flow from operating activities was negative (€-4.50 million), versus a positive operational cash flow of €18.10 million at 30.06.2007.

Financial results of the parent company Attica Holdings S.A.

ATTICA HOLDINGS S.A. is a Holding Company and its revenues derive from dividends and from interest received.

During the first half of 2008 the Company's dividend received of the fiscal year 2007 was €4.61 million from Blues Star Maritime S.A. and €4.00 million from Superfast Maritime S.A. The Company's receivables derived from fiscal year 2007 dividend are €6.62 million and originate from its 100% subsidiaries.

During the first half of 2008 the Company's interest received was €1.5 million.

Taking into consideration the above, as well as the administrative and other expenses, the profit after taxes of Attica Holdings S.A. was €15.17 million, versus €55.64 mil during the same period of 2007. It must be noted that there is no direct comparability possible, mainly due to the additional profit of €27.67 million the Company achieved through the sale of its stake in Minoan Lines S.A.

Cash and cash equivalents of the parent company at 30.06.2008 stood at €84.06 million, versus 76.87 million at 31.12.2007. An amount of €15.6 million is committed to the agreement for the acquisition of the two Ro-Pax vessels that are built in the Italian yards Nuovi Cantieri Apuania.

The parent company has neither long- nor short-term debt obligations.

Important developments for the half year 2008

After the acquisition of the majority stake in October 2007 and the completion of the Mandatory Public Offering in January 2008, MARFIN INVESTMENT GROUP HOLDINGS S.A. (MIG) owns - directly or indirectly through its 100% subsidiary MIG SHIPPING S.A. – 89.8% of the company's equity capital.

The most important decisions of the Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting of the 12th of February 2008 are the following:

  • o The conversion of the Group's outstanding shares from bearer to registered.
  • o Establishment of a stock options plan for the Members of the Board of Directors, the Company's members of staff, and these of affiliated companies, including persons who offer their services to the Company and its affiliates on a regular basis. The strike price was fixed at €6.20 per share and the duration of the program was set to five years.
  • o Election of new Board of Directors with the following members:

Mr. Charalambos S. Paschalis (Chairman / Non Executive Member), Andreas E. Vgenopoulos (Vice Chairman / Non Executive Member), Mr. Petros M. Vettas (C.E.O. / Executive Member), Mr. Michalis G. Sakellis (Executive Member), Mr. Spiros Ch. Paschalis (Executive Member), Mr. Markos A. Foros (Non Executive Member), Mrs. Areti Souvatzoglou (Non Executive Member), Mr. Theofilos – Aristeides G. Priovolos (Independent, Non Executive Member), and Mr. Alexander Th. Edipidis (Independent, Non Executive Member).

At the beginning of April 2008 the Group concluded the sale of the four RoRo vessels, achieving capital gains of €9.64 million and generating additional cash of approximately €24.48 million.

In May 2008 the Board of Directors of the subsidiary Blue Star Maritime S.A. decided the discontinuation of the route Rosyth (Scotland) – Zeebrugge (Belgium) as of September 2008. The vessel Blue Star 1 will be redeployed on the routes of the Dodecanese Islands and the Cyclades.

At 05/06/2008 Attica Group announced the agreement with Grimaldi Holdings S.p.A. of Genova, Italy, regarding the acquisition of two modern Ro-Pax vessels that are built in the yards Nuovi Cantieri Apuania in Italy. The vessels are of high standards, have a speed of 24 knots, and a carrying capacity of 950 passengers, 170 freight units, and 100 private vehicles. The first vessel will be delivered during autumn 2008 and the second one during summer/autumn 2009. The vessels will be deployed on routes the Group's vessels already operate in.

The Annual General Meeting at 17/06/2008 approved, among others, a dividend distribution of €0.08 per share.

At 27/06/2008 the Group's Board of Directors, following the respective decision at 26/02/2008, decided to propose to the Shareholders' General Meeting the merger by absorption of the listed in the Athens Stock Exchange subsidiary Blue Star Maritime S.A. and the 100% owned subsidiary Superfast Ferries Maritime S.A. by the parent company Attica Holdings S.A., as per the provisions of the articles 69-78 of Common Law 2190/1920, the articles 1-5 of Law 2166/1993, and other provisions of the Commercial Law as applicable. The Transformation Balance Sheet date is the 30th of June, 2008.

Prospects

The prospects for the second half of 2008 are that our Group, as well as the rest of the Greek passenger shipping industry, will be affected by the considerable fuel oil price increase, the highly competitive environment, and the economic slowdown observed not only in the Euro zone countries, but also in the rest of the world. In this context, the Group is prepared accordingly in order to take advantage of any opportunity that could emerge in the before-mentioned environment. Attica Group is studying methodically potential markets and operational areas, streamlining its corporate structure, and enhancing its size through the upcoming acquisition of the minorities by its merger of its subsidiaries Blue Star Maritime S.A. and Superfast Ferries Maritime S.A. In this context, several decisions have been made, such as the agreement for the acquisition of two modern Ro-Pax vessels that are built by the Italian yards Nuovi Cantieri Apuania, as well as the discontinuation of the route Zeebrugge (Belgium) - Rosyth (Scotland) and the redeployment of the vessel Blue Star 1 in the routes of the Cyclades and the Dodecanese Islands

Principal risk factors

The principal risk factors the Group and its operation are exposed to continuously and not only during the second half of 2008 are the following:

1. Foreign exchange risk

The Group faces financial risk from adverse movements in the currency exchange rates. Such risk arises: a) from sales (until September 2008) in GBP, due to the employment of the car-passenger ferry Blue Star 1 on the Zeebrugge (Belgium) – Rosyth (Scotland) route. Approximately 3% of the Group's sales are denominated in GBP; b) from the USD pricing of the fuel oil that the Group's vessels use; c) from the fact that the Group includes in its cash position USD53.5 million. A potential weakening of the USD versus the Euro would have a negative impact on the Group's results, while the opposite will take place with a stronger USD / € rate.

2. Credit risk

The Group has established credit control procedures in order to minimize the credit risk. To this purpose, the management has established specific credit policies and limits for all of its customers, while the Group has obtained bank guarantees from its major customers (port and sales agents), in order to secure its trade receivables.

The maximum Group's exposure to the credit risk is described in the following table (all amounts are in € thousand).

Maximum Group's exposure to credit risk

Plus:
30/06/2008

Contingency guarantees 324 324
Letters of guarantee, mortgages, mortgage attachments 7,148 6,538
Maximum credit risk exposure 30,450 10,340

A respective analysis does not apply for the parent company, due to its nature as a holding company.

The

3. Liquidity risk

The Group is monitoring its risk to a shortage of funds considering carefully the maturity of both its receivables and payables aiming to a balance between the continuity of its funds and its flexibility driven by the high credit rating from the banks.

The Group's cash position was at 30.06.2008 €158,887 thousand, while its short-term liabilities were €107,595 thousand. There are no overdue liabilities, or liabilities that are about to become due that cannot be paid.

4. Interest rate risk

The Group's exposure to the risk of changes in the market interest rates relates primarily to the Group's long-term debt obligations. For hedging this risk, the Group purchased a financial instrument according to which, if the interest rates are floating between 3.5% and 5.5% the Group has a profit, while in the case that the interest rates move beyond these barriers the Group has a loss.

5. Capital management risk

The management's objective when managing capital is to safeguard the Group's going concern, thus its ability to provide adequate returns to its shareholders and benefits to the other related parties and maintain an optimal capital structure in order to minimize the cost of capital. The Group's gearing ratio at 30.06.2008 and 30.12.2007 was as the following table shows (amounts in € thousand):

30/06/2008 31/12/2007
Total debt 367,673 422,803
Minus:
Cash and cash equivalents 158,887 171,873
Net debt 208,786 250,930
Plus:
Total equity (incl. minority interests) 500,905 506,145
Total capital employed 709,691 757,075
Gearing ratio 29% 33%

The Group is continuously monitoring its funds targeting to sustain its gearing ratio between 20% and 45%.

6. Fuel oil prices fluctuation risk

The Group, as the rest of the ferry industry, is significantly affected by the volatility of the fuel oil prices. It must be noted that the fuel oil and lubricant expenses are the most important component of Attica Group's operational expenses, representing them by 54% during the first half of 2008. It must be also noted that during the first six months of 2008 the average price of marine fuel oil (380 Cst, 1.5% sulphur) has increased by over 60% compared with the already high average price of 380 Cst, 3.5% sulphur during the same period of 2007.

The following table gives an example of the impact on the Group's profit during 6 months, following a fuel price increase (decrease):

Increase / (decease)

7. Competition

The Group operates on routes that are characterized by intense competition. There are between two to four major competitors that operate on the same routes as Attica Group.

Corporate Social Responsibility

Attica Group continued throughout 2008 its Corporate Social Responsibility Program, through its subsidiaries Superfast Ferries and Blue Star Ferries, promoting and supporting various activities in areas such as Education, Sports, Culture, and Environment.

Various activities have been undertaken, mainly for the benefit of children, students, and the inhabitants of Cyclades and the Dodecanese Islands. We can refer here to the completion of the school competition "Aegean – O Mikros Naftilos", the donation of laboratory equipment to the 1st Technical Vocational Educational School of Kalimnos in order to support the Maritime Studies, as well as the Group's support to the cultural, nonprofit organization "Diadrasi" that visited remote Aegean islands, where it undertook programs of cultural education for students and for the local inhabitants.

Further, demonstrating its active concern about the major issue of climatic changes and their implications into our quality of life, the Group seeks practices and methods that will contribute to the conservation of our environment.

For this purpose we:

There are no inter-company transactions between the ship owning companies of the SUPERFAST Group and the ones of BLUE STAR Group.

The inter-company balances at 30.06.2008 between the Groups of SUPERFAST and BLUE STAR are of administrative and by no means substantive nature and derive from the Groups' operations in the maritime industry and the need for common management of the vessels' revenues and expenses that takes place through the joint ventures and the ship management companies that produce the inter-company transactions with the other Group's companies.

The before-mentioned inter-company transactions are presented in the following tables (amounts in € thousand):

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. General information

ATTICA HOLDINGS S.A. ("ATTICA GROUP") is a Holding Company and as such does not have trading activities of its own. The Company, through its subsidiaries, mainly operates in passenger shipping and in travel agency services.

The headquarters of the Company are in Athens, Greece, C. Karamanli Avenue 157, 16673, Voula.

The number of employees, at period end, was 6 for the parent company and 1.274 for the Group, while at 30/6/2007 was 9 and 1.354 respectively.

Attica Holdings S.A. shares are listed in the Athens Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol ATTICA.

The corresponding ticker symbol for Bloomberg is ATTEN GA and for Reuters is EPA.AT.

The total number of common nominal shares outstanding as at 30 June 2008 was 104.173.680. Each share carries one voting right. The total market capitalization was € 479.199 thousand approximately.

The financial statements of Attica Holdings S.A. are included, using the full consolidation method, in the consolidated financial statements of MARFIN INVESTMENT GROUP HOLDINGS S.A. whose total participation in the company (directly & indirectly), was 89,8%.

The interim financial statements of the Company and the Group for the period ending at 30 June 2008 were approved by the Board of Directors on August 27, 2008.

Due to rounding there may be minor differences in some amounts.

2. Significant Group accounting policies

The accounting policies used by the Group for the preparation of the financial statements for the period 1/1-30/6/2008 are the same with those used for the preparation of the financial statements for the fiscal year 2007.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) which have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the interpretations which have been issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee as adopted by the European Union. More specifically, for the preparation of the current period's Financial Statements the Group has applied IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting".

In addition, the Group has prepared the financial statements in compliance with the historical cost principle, the going concern principle, the accrual basis principle, the consistency principle, the materiality principle and the accrual basis of accounting.

The Management of the Group considers that the financial statements present fairly the company's financial position, financial performance and cash flows.

The preparation of the financial statements calls for the use of estimates and assumptions which must be in line with the provisions of generally accepted accounting principles. The above estimates are based οn the knowledge and the information available to the Management of the Group until the date of approval of the financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2008.

2.1. Major accounting judgements and main sources of uncertainty for accounting estimations

The Management must make judgements and estimates regarding the value of assets and liabilities which are uncertain. Estimates and associated assumptions are based mainly on past experience. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and associated assumptions are continually reviewed.

The accounting judgements that the Management has made in implementing the Company's accounting policies and which have the greatest impact on Company financial statements are:

Management examines whether there is an indication of impairment on the value of investments in subsidiaries, and if so, assesses the extent pursuant to the Company's accounting policy on this subject. The recoverable amount of the examined cash generating unit is determined on the basis of value in use and is based on estimates and underlying assumptions.

In addition, on an annual basis the Management examines, on the basis of assumptions and estimates the following items:

  • useful lives and recoverable vessels' values

  • the amount of provisions for staff retirement compensation, for disputes in litigation and for labour law disputes.

On the financial statements preparation date, the sources of uncertainty for the Company, which may have impact on the stated assets and liabilities values, concern:

  • Unaudited years of the Company, insofar as it is possible that the future audits will result in additional taxes and charges being imposed that cannot be estimated at the time with reasonable accurancy.

  • Estimates on the recoverability of contingent losses from pending court cases and doubtful debts.

The above estimates are based οn the knowledge and the information available to the Management of the Group until the date of approval of the financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2008.

5.1. Revenue Analysis and Geographical Segments Report

The Group has decided to provide information based on the geographical segmentation of its operations.

The Group operates in the Greek Domestic Routes, in Adriatic Sea and in North Sea. The Group's vessels provide transportation services to passengers, private vehicles and freight.

Seasonality

The Company's sales are highly seasonal. The highest traffic for passengers and vehicles is observed during the months July, August and September while the lowest traffic for passengers and vehicles is observed between November and February. On the other hand, freight sales are not affected significantly by seasonality.

In the course of the first half of 2008, the Group sold the RoRo vessels, Marin, Challenge, Shield and Nordia for € 52.475 thousand net value. The profit from this transaction stood at € 9.649 thousand.

5.4. Tangible assets

Tangible assets decreased compared to 31/12/2007. This decrease was due to the sale of the RoRo vessels Marin, Challenge, Shield and Nordia as well as due to the depreciations of the period 1/1 – 30/6/2008.

5.5. Derivatives

Refer to the interest rate hedging contract of the Group.

5.8. Fair value reserves

In the statements of changes in equity and particularly in "Gains/(losses) taken to equity", the change that is presenting refers to the interest rate cash flow hedges of the Group's loan.

5.9. Long – term and Short – term liabilities

Long – term and Short – term liabilities decreased compared to 31/12/2007. This decrease was due to the repayment, with equity, of the loan of the car passenger ferry Diagoras, the sale of the RoRo vessels Marin, Challenge, Shield and Nordia and consequently to the repayment of their loans.

5.10. Non – current provisions

Non-current provisions refer to:

Superfast Group which has made a provision amounting € 462 thousand which concerns claim for compensation from the crew that was employed on board the sold vessels previously deployed in the Baltic Sea.
