Report on Review of Interim Financial Information

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

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying (separate and consolidated) condensed statement of financial position of ATTICA HOLDINGS SA (the Company) as at 30 June 2009, the related (separate and consolidated) condensed statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month period then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and selected explanatory notes, that comprise the interim financial information, which is 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 International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by European Union and applied to interim financial reporting ("IAS 34"). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim condensed 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". 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.

Reference to Other Legal Requirements

Based on our review, we verified that the content of the six-month financial report, as required by article 5 of L.3556/2007, is consistent with the accompanying condensed interim financial information.

HALF YEAR REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF ATTICA HOLDINGS S.A. for the period 01.01.2009 – 30.06.2009

(§5 of Law 3556/2007)

The present half year report of the Board of Directors is complied according to article 5 of Law 3556/2007 and of relevant decisions of the Hellenic Capital Market Commission and is part of the Half Year Financial Report for the period 01.01.2009 – 30.06.2009 that includes interim financial statements and other figures and information as per law dictates.

Based on the fact that Attica Holdings S.A. (the Company or Attica) also compiles consolidated financial results, the present report is single with main point of reference the consolidated financial figures of the Company and its subsidiaries while reference in the parent company's figures is made only when it is considered necessary in order to better understand its content.

SECTION A FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENTS AND PERFORMANCE FOR THE PERIOD 1.1.2009 – 30.6.2009

1. Attica Group's Financial Results

The total revenue for the Group during the first half of 2009 grew to Euro 139.9 mln against Euro 156.5 mln during the same period in 2008, posting a decrease of 10.6%. The breakdown of the Group's total revenue per market is as follows: Greek domestic routes, 55.7%, Adriatic Sea 44.1% and other income 0.2%.

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

In the Greek domestic market Attica Group is operating in the Cycladic routes with four vessels, Blue Star Paros, Blue Star Naxos, Blue Star Ithaki and Superferry II, in the Dodecanese routes with Blue Star 1, Blue Star 2 and Diagoras and as of 12th March, 2009, in the Piraeus – Heraklion, Crete route with Superfast XII which was redeployed from the Adriatic Sea. In this market, revenue increased by 16.5% (Euro 77.9 mln in 2009 against Euro 66.9 mln in 2008) which is mainly contributed to the re-deployment of vessels Superfast XII and Blue Star 1 in the domestic routes. Revenue includes the grants received for public services performed under contracts with the Ministry of Mercantile Marine and the Ministry of Aegean and Island Policy amounting to Euro 3.7 mln for the first half of 2009 against Euro 2.6 mln for the first half of 2008.

In the Adriatic Sea, the Group's vessels that operated in the route Patras-Igoumenitsa-Ancona were Superfast V, Superfast VI, Superfast XI and Superfast XII until the first ten days of March and Superfast I and Blue Horizon in the Patras- Igoumenitsa-Bari route. In this market, the revenue decreased by 18.8% (Euro 61.7 mln in 2009 against Euro 76.0 mln in 2008) mainly due to adverse economic conditions that had a direct impact to traffic volumes and pricing policy. Nevertheless, the Group managed to maintain the leading position in all categories of traffic with market shares of 37.0% in passengers, 33.0% in freight units and 32.3% in private vehicles.

Earnings before taxes, investing and financial results, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) stood at 13.6 mln against Euro 22.2 mln (38.7% decrease) compared to the first half of 2008. To be more specific, Euro 17.3 mln comes from the Domestic routes market (Euro 19.2 mln for the first half of 2008) while a negative balance of Euro -2.7 mln comes from the Adriatic Sea market (Euro 4.7 mln for the first half of 2008) and another negative balance of Euro -1.0 mln comes from other income that includes the parent company which as a holding company does not have any sales activity, the 100% subsidiary Attica Premium S.A. and the ex-ship owning companies. In terms of EBITDA, the Group managed to have satisfactory results in the Greek Domestic routes considering the negative economic conditions of the market and the challenge of operating a new service (Piraeus- Heraklion, Crete) as of March 2009. The Adriatic Sea presents a negative development that is mainly due to the revenue's decrease in conjunction with the fixed operating costs.

Administrative expenses stood at Euro 13.9 mln against Euro 13.2 mln in 2008 while distribution expenses were slightly increased by 8.8% (Euro 13.6 mln in 2009 against Euro 12.5 mln in 2008) due to the delivery of new-built Superfast I and the marketing and advertising expenses for launching the new service of Piraeus-Heraklion, Crete route with Superfast XII.

The Group's financial expenses decreased to Euro 9.1 mln from Euro 11.5 mln and financial income stood at Euro 1.2 mln against Euro 3.2 mln at 30.06.2008. The Group has also been hedged against the interest rate risk that posted a loss of Euro -2.7 mln in the financial results for the period ended 30.06.2009.

Attica's consolidated results for the first half of 2009 show Losses after Taxes and minorities of Euro 11.4 mln against profits of Euro 5.5 mln for the first half of 2008. It must be noted that for the same period of 2008 the Group had profits of Euro 9.65 mln as a result of the sale of four RoRo vessels.

For the first half of 2009, there are no Minority interests as the Group fully owns all its subsidiaries after the completion of the merger by absorption of Blue Star Maritime S.A. and Superfast Ferries Maritime S.A.

It must be noted that the Group's financial data during the first half of 2009 and those of 2008 are not directly comparable since:

a) the vessel Superfast I has been deployed in the present period. The above vessel has not been owned by the Group the previous year,

b) the vessel Blue Star 1 operated in North Sea during the whole course of the first half of 2008, while in the present period is deployed in the Greek Market,

c) as of 12th March, 2009, Superfast XII, which is rerouted from the Greece-Italy routes, commenced trading between Piraeus and Heraklion, Crete,

d) in the period February to April 2008, all the Group's RoRo vessels (Marin, Nordia, Challenge and Shield) were sold.

Analyzing the results of the first half of 2009, it must be taken into consideration the fact that the Group operates in markets with high seasonality. The volumes carried in the passenger and private vehicle segments are high between the months of July and September while the lowest traffic is observed between November and February. On the contrary, freight sales are not affected significantly by seasonality.

2. Certain financial data and ratios of the Group

Tangible assets decreased from 732.7 mln to Euro 744.7 mln compared to 31/12/2008. This decrease was due to the depreciations of the period 1/1 – 30/6/2009.

Other current assets increased compared to 31/12/2008 (Euro 22.1 mln against Euro 19.6 mln). This increase was due to the receivables from the Greek State.

For the first half of the year the group paid the amount of Euro 19.4 mln against its long term borrowings.

"Other short-term liabilities" increased (Euro 42.1mln against Euro 18.3 mln at 31.12.2008) mainly due to the "Deferred income" which refer to passenger tickets issued but not yet travelled until 30/6/2009, as well as to the dividends payable of 2008.

Cash and cash equivalents stood at 101.4 mln at 30.06.2009 against Euro 119.1 mln at 31.12.2008.

The Group's cash flow from operating activities was Euro 2.6 mln against a negative operational cash flow of Euro -2.4 mln at 30.06.2008.

  • Equity over Total Bank Debt stood at 1.29 on 30.06.2009 against 1.27 on 31.12.2008.

  • Ratio of Total Tangible Assets over Long-term bank debt stood at 2.17 on 30.06.2009 against 2.09 on 31.12.2008.

  • Current ratio stood at 1.90 on 30.06.2009 against 2.41 on 31.12.2008.

  • Gearing ratio (net debt / total capital employed) stood at 36.1% on 30.06.2009 against 35.5% on 31.12.2008.

3. Traffic volumes and market shares Adriatic Sea

On the lines Patras-Igoumenitsa-Ancona and Patras-Igoumenitsa-Bari, Attica's vessels Superfast I, Superfast V, Superfast VI, Superfast XI, Blue Horizon and until the first 10 days of March, Superfast XII carried 275,710 passengers (4.3% decrease), 53,189 private vehicles (6.9% increase) and 67,696 freight units (13.0% decrease). As of 12.03.2009, Superfast XII is operating into the new service of Piraeus-Heraklion, Crete.

The Adriatic Sea market posted a significant decrease in traffic figures compared to the first half of 2008. In detail, a decrease of 10.0% in passengers and 7.0% in private vehicles carried was observed, while freight units carried decreased by 20.9%.

The market share of the Group on the Greece-Italy routes for the period ended 30.06.2009 stood at 37.0% in passengers (against 35.0% in the first half of 2008), 32.3% in private vehicles (against 27.9% in the first half of 2008) and 33.0% in freight units (against 30.1% in the first half of 2008).

Above figures illustrating the market share of the Group in the Adriatic Sea are derived from the Greek port authorities of Patras and Igoumenitsa.

The Greek Domestic Market

Attica Group operated in the routes of Piraeus-Cyclades, Rafina-Cyclades, Piraeus-Dodecanese and as of 12.03.2009 into the new route of Piraeus-Heraklion, Crete.

Attica's participation in the share capital of the new subsidiary company amounts to Euro 48.0 mln. Attica Ferries Maritime Company is the new owner of the vessel Superfast XII which was acquired from Attica's wholly owned subsidiary Superfast Dodeka Inc at book value.

On 12th March, 2009, Attica Group announced the launch of a new service operated by ultramodern high-speed ferry SUPERFAST XII from Heraklion, Crete to Piraeus.

In April 2009, the taxation audit of Attica Holdings S.A. was completed for the fiscal year 2007 and no additional amount was arised.

The Annual General Meeting of Shareholders that took place on 16th June, 2009, decided among other things, on the following:

On 25th June, 2009, the Company announced the signing of shipbuilding contracts with Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering Co. (DSME), Korea for the building of two monohull-type, fast car-passenger ferries at a price of Euro 68.50 mln a piece. The delivery of the first vessel will take place in spring 2011 and of the second vessel in the first quarter of 2012. The ships will have overall length 145.5 meters and speed 25.5 knots and the capacity to carry 2,400 passengers and 450 private vehicles or 50 freight units and 150 private vehicles.

2. Important developments after 30.06.2009

On 13th July, 2009, Attica Group announced the participation in the capital increase of its two wholly owned subsidiary companies, namely BLUE STAR MARITIME COMPANY and BLUE STAR FERRIES MARITIME COMPANY of total amount Euro 26.55 mln.

The two subsidiary companies will be the ship owning companies of the two new fast carpassenger ferries following the agreement with DSME, Korea. The capital increase was principally aiming to the funding of the building of the two new vessels.

On 14th July, 2009, the Company disposed the 4,573 shares that resulted as share's fractions from the share capital increase due to the merger by absorption of BLUE STAR MARITIME S.A. The corresponding amount of Euro 1.7021 per share was available to the beneficiaries through the Deposits and Loan Fund.

SECTION C PROSPECTS FOR THE SECOND HALF OF 2009

The severe economic slow-down all around the world has affected the tourism services industry and has generated conditions of more intense competition in the passenger shipping sector.

A further decrease is foreseen for the second half of 2009 in terms of passengers and private vehicles that will travel by sea and this is expected to affect the Group's revenue and financial results.

Based on statistics data provided by the Greek port authorities of Patras and Igoumenitsa, total volumes of freight units carried in the Adriatic Sea was dropped to 20.9% for the period ended 30.06.2009.

In contrast with the first half of 2008 that fuel oil prices remained at a low level resulting in a significant operational cost reduction of Euro 11, 4 mln for the Group, the average price of the heavy fuel oil in July 2009 stood between 20% - 26% higher than the average fuel oil price in the first half of 2009 with indications for a further increase during the second half of 2009.

In this adverse economic environment, Attica Group has taken a series of very important decisions and actions aiming to have a good position into the new economical era that will follow. In view of Attica Group's investing plan that amounts to Euro 293 mln, the first phase is completed with the delivery of Superfast I operating since October 2008 in the Patras-Igoumenitsa-Bari route while the second new-built vessel, Superfast II is expected to be delivered in September 2009. Furthermore, the Group has placed an order at Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering Co., Korea, for the building of two fast car-passenger ferries. The delivery of the first vessel will take place in spring 2011 while the second one is expected to be delivered in the first quarter of 2012.

SECTION D MAIN RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

In this section are presented the main risks and uncertainties regarding the Group's business activities:

Fuel oil prices fluctuation risk

The Group as all the shipping companies, is affected by the volatility of fuel oil prices. It must be noted that the cost of fuel oil and lubricants is the most significant operating cost, representing the 43% of Attica Group's operating expenses for the first half of 2009. Changes in fuel oil prices equal to Euro 10 per metric tone for a period of six months, could affect the Group's profit and equity by approximately Euro 1.7 mln.

Interest rate risk

The interest rate of all long-term borrowings of the Group is calculated by adding the floating Euribor plus a spread. Therefore, any 1% change in Euribor will affect the financial results and the Equity of the Group by approximately Euro 3.8 mln.

In order to hedge the interest rate risk, the Group has entered a financial instrument which protects the interest rate risk for approximately 64% of its present borrowings.

Foreign currency risk

The functional currency of the Group is Euro, therefore the Group has transactional currency exposure because the trading currency of the fuel oil is USD and because the Group's cash equivalents include the amount of USD 41.5 mln.

A change in the EUR / USD parity by 10% could affect the Group's results and equity by approximately Euro 4.1 mln.

Credit risk

The Group, due to its large number of customers, is exposed to credit risk and therefore it has established credit control procedures in order to minimize effects from such risk. More specifically, the Group has defined credit limits and specific credit policies for all of its customers, while it has obtained bank guarantees from major customers, in order to secure its trade receivables.

In general, the Group is not exposed to any significant credit risk as it is estimated that there is no considerable concentration of trade receivables except in the case of 100% subsidiary company, Attica Premium S.A.

Liquidity risk

The Group monitors its risk to a shortage of funds by following closely the maturity of both its assets and liabilities. The Group's objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through its high credit rating from banks.

The Group's cash at 30.06.2009 stands at Euro 101.4 mln against Euro 119.1 mln at 31.12.2008. Total short-term liabilities amount to Euro 107.8 mln.

There are no overdue liabilities, or liabilities that are about to become due, that cannot be paid.

Capital structure management

The Group's objective when managing its capital structure is to safeguard the Group's ability to continue its activities having as a going concern to provide returns for its shareholders and benefits for all other parties related to the Group as well as to maintain an optimal capital structure in order to reduce the cost of capital. The gearing ratio at 30.06.2009 and 31.12.2008 respectively, is as follows:

30/06/2009 31/12/2008
Total Borrowings 375,984 395,569
Less: Cash and Cash Equivalents 101,397 119,124
Net debt 274,587 276,445
Equity 486,063 502,832
Total capital employed 760,650 779,277
Gearing ratio 36.1% 35.5%

Competition

The Group's vessels are operating in markets that are characterized by intense competition with the presence of two to four competitors in almost every route.

SECTION E IMPORTANT TRANSACTION WITH RELATED PARTIES

In this section are included the most important transactions between the Company and its related parties for the period 01.01.09 – 30.06.09 as they are defined by IAS 24.

  • The Company received as dividend of fiscal year 2008, the amount of Euro 11.5 mln from its 100% subsidiary SUPERFAST DODEKA INC. and the amount of Euro 5.3 mln from its 100% subsidiary NORDIA MC. The Company has also an amount of Euro 18.8 mln as receivable dividend arising from its 100% subsidiary company BLUE STAR FERRIES MARITIME S.A.
  • The 100% subsidiaries NORDIA MC, MARIN MC and SUPERFAST DODEKA INC have returned part of their share capital to parent company ATTICA HOLDINGS S.A. due to sale of their assets. The capital return amounts to Euro 31.6 mln.
  • The Company, due to the merger of BLUE STAR MARITIME S.A. has an obligation of Euro 29.4 mln to the entities of Blue Star Group.

There are no obligations between the Company and the other companies of the Group, except the before mentioned one, due to the merger by absorption of Blue Star Maritime S.A. by Attica Holdings S.A.

The intercompany balances for the period 01.01.2009 - 30.06.2009 between the companies of Superfast Group and Blue Star Group derive from the Group's business activity in the shipping industry with operational rather than substantial meaning, indicating a common revenue and expenses management through joint ventures and companies that operate under the Law 378/68, which create intercompany transactions with the other companies of the Group.

The intercompany transactions between Attica Group with the other companies of Marfin Investment Group Holdings S.A. (MIG) are of no significance neither have any effect on the financial condition of the Company or the Group. They are mostly related to food and beverage supplying services on board the Group's vessels. Furthermore, Attica Group has signed finance lease contracts and keeps bank accounts at Marfin Egnatia Bank.

Finally, Executive Directors' salaries and remuneration of the members of the Group's Board of Directors stood at Euro 1.5 mln for the period ended 30.06.2009 against Euro 2.0 mln for the same period of 2008. The Group has neither receivables nor liabilities towards its Directors and members of the Board of Directors.

Athens, 26th August, 2009

On behalf of the Board of Directors The Managing Director

The interim financial statements of the Company and the Group for the period ending at 30 June 2009 were approved by the Board of Directors on August 26, 2009.

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

2. Framework for the preparation of financial statements

The financial statements for the period 1/1-30/6/2009 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".

Furthermore, the consolidated financial statement have been prepared based on historic cost principal as amended for readjustment of land plots and buildings, financial assets available for sale and financial assets and liabilities (including financial derivatives) at fair value through profit and loss, going concern principle, and are in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (I.A.S.B.) as well as their interpretations, as issued by International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) of I.A.S.B.

Condensed interim financial statements comprise limited scope of information as compared to that presented in the annual financial statements. Therefore, the attached interim financial statements shall be used in line with the annual financial statements as of 31st December 2008.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) requires the use of accounting assumptions. Moreover, it requires the management estimates under the application of the Group accounting principle. The cases comprising higher degree of estimates, judgments and complexity or cases where assumptions and estimates are material to the consolidated financial statements are included in Note 2.2.

The accounting principles used by the Group for the preparation of the financial statements are the same as those used for the preparation of the financial statements for the fiscal year 2008 and have been consistently applied to all the periods presented as apart from the changes listed below.

2.1. Changes in Accounting Principles

2.1.1. Review of changes

The Group first adopted IFRS 8 «Operating Segments» (an entity shall apply IFRS 8 for annual periods beginning on or after

1 January 2009. Earlier application is encouraged). The Standard has been applied retrospectively, through the adjustments of the accounts and presentation of the items of 2008. Therefore, the comparative items of 2008, included in the financial statements, are different from those publicized in the financial statements for the year ended as at 31.12.2008. Moreover, within the period, the entity adopted IAS 1 «Presentation of financial statements».

Paragraph 2.1.2 analyses the significant changes to the above Standards. No other standards have been adopted within the current year. The effect arising from the first application of the standards on the current, prior and subsequent financial statements pertain to recognition, measurement and presentation and are further presented in Note 2.1.2.- 2.1.3. Note 2.1.4. briefly presents the Standards and Interpretation that the Group will adopt in subsequent periods.

2.1.2. Changes in Accounting Principles (Amendments to 2009 opening publicized standards 2009)

The changes in the adapted accounting principles are analyzed as follows:

Adoption of IFRS 8 «Operating Segments»

The Group adopted IFRS 8 Operating Segments 8 that replaces IAS 14 "Segment Reporting"». Despite the fact that the adoption of the new standard has not affected the way in which the Group recognizes operating segments for the purpose of providing information, the results of each segment are presented based on the data set and used by the management for internal information purposes.

Te main changes are as follows:

Each segment results are based on operating results of every individual information segment. The operating segments results do not comprise the financial costs and financial income, including results of investments in the companies' share capital and the results from taxes and discontinued operations.

Moreover, for the purposes of decision making pertaining to distribution of resources within geographical segments as well as for the purposes of measuring the segments efficiency, The Group Management does not take into account the costs concerning the end of service provisions to personnel, nor does it take into account the costs arising from the settlement of share based transactions. The geographical segments are further presented in Note 5.1.

IAS 1: Presentation of Financial Statements

Of the main revisions of this IAS is the requirement of separate presentation of changes in equity, in the statement of changes in equity, from transactions with the shareholders (i.e. dividends, share capital increase) and other kind of changes affecting equity (i.e. reserves movements). Additionally the revised IAS changes the terminology used as well as the presentation of the financial statements.

The new definitions of IAS 1 however do not change the recognition, valuation or notification rules for certain transactions or events required by the other IASs. Implementation of the revised IAS 1 is mandatory for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009 while these requirements are applicable also in IAS 8 "Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors". The changes caused from the amendment of IAS 1 are applies retrospectively (IAS 8.19 (b)) .

Annual Improvements in 2008

The IASB issued in 2008 its first omnibus of amendments to its standards, "Improvements to IFRSs 2008" .The majority of these amendments are effective for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009. The Company expect that the amendments to IAS 23 Borrowing Costs will affect the Group Financial Statements. Several other IASs had minor amendments but again the management does not expect that there will be any material impact on the Company's financial statements.

2.1.3. New standards ,modifications in existing standards and interpretations issued by the IASB but not effect are as follows.

The below mentioned accounting standards, amendments and revisions are effective from 2009 onwards but do not apply to the Company.

IAS 23: Borrowing Costs

Revised IAS 23 eliminates the existing option of immediate expensing of all borrowing costs relating to the acquisition, construction of qualifying assets to the income statement. A qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to be in the condition for its intended use or sale. Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of a qualifying asset must be capitalized to the cost of the asset by the Company.

Revised IAS 23 does not require the capitalization of borrowing costs relating to assets accounted at their fair values and inventories that are constructed or produced regularly or in large quantities even if it takes a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale.

Revised IAS 23 applies for qualifying assets only and is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009. Earlier application is permitted. It is not expected to have a material impact on the Company.

IFRIC 13: Customer Loyalty Programmes

Customer loyalty programmes give incentives to the entity's clients to buy products or services from that entity. If a customer buys products or services, then the Company offers to the client award credits which the client can redeem in the future for products or services free of charge or at a reduced price.

These customer loyalty programmes may be run by the Company in house or assigned to a third party. IFRIC 13 applies to every award credits loyalty programmes a Company may offer to its customers as part of a transaction. IFRIC 13 is effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 July 2008 and it is mandatory. Retrospective application is mandatory as well while earlier application in encouraged when it is disclosed to the notes to the financial

Statements.

IFRS 2: Share-based Payments

IASB amended IFRS 2 regarding the vesting conditions of the accumulated retirement capital and its cancellation. None of the current share based benefit schemes is affected from these amendments. The management of the Company does not expect that the amended IFRS 2 will have any effect on the accounting

Policies of the Company's.

IAS 32: Financial Instruments Presentation and IAS 1: Presentation of Financial Statements

Amendments to puttable financial instruments

The amendment to IAS 32 requires certain puttable financial instruments and obligations arising on liquidation of an investment entity to be classified as part of equity if certain criteria are met.

The amendment to IAS 1 requires disclosure of certain information relating to puttable instruments classified as part of equity.

The Company does not expect these amendments to impact the financial statements for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009. Earlier application of the Interpretation is encouraged as long as it is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

IFRIC 15: Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate

The purpose of IFRIC 15 is to provide guidance for the issues below:

  • Whether an agreement for the construction of real estate is within the scope of IAS 11 or IAS 18.
  • The time recognition of the revenue resulting from such construction.

This Interpretation applies to the accounting for revenue and associated expenses by entities that undertake the construction of real estate directly or through subcontractors.

The agreements that fall within the scope of IFRIC 15 are the agreements for the construction of real estate. In addition to the construction of real estate,

these agreements may also require the delivery of additional products or services.

IFRIC 15 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009. Earlier implementation is encouraged provided that it will be disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. Changes in accounting policies should be recognized according to IAS 8.

2.1.4. Standards, amendments and interpretations to already effective standards that are not effective yet and have not been adopted

The following new Standards and Revised Standards as well as the following interpretations to the effective standards have been publicized though are not mandatory for the current financial statements and have not been earlier adopted by the Group:

IFRS 3 «Business Combinations»

The effect of IFRS 3 «Business Combinations» pertains to:

  • The choice made by the Company concerning non-controlling interests.

  • The change to recognition concerning contingent liabilities. In compliance with the prior requirements of the standard, contingent liabilities were recognized on the acquisition date only in case there was compliance with the criteria such as reliable measurement and the possibility of realizing such a contingent liability.

In compliance with the revised Standard, under the acquisition of companies attention shall be paid to recognition of contingent liability at fair value. As the fair value of contingent liabilities at the acquisition date is determined, subsequent adjustments are made to goodwill only to the extent they relate to fair value at the acquisition date and occur within the measurement period (not exceeding one year from the acquisition date).

Under the previous requirements of the Standard, adjustments to contingent liabilities were made to the goodwill. Where the business combination is effected by a pre-existing relationship between the Group and the acquired company, it is required to recognize gain or loss, at fair value of these non-contractual relationships. - The costs related to the acquisition shall be accounted for regardless of the business combination and thus burden the results in the period incurred. The previous accounting treatment for these costs was to recognise them as part of acquisition cost.

The revised IFRS 3 also requires additional disclosure pertaining to business combinations.

The results of subsequent periods are likely to be affected by the impairment of goodwill and potential changes due to recognition of contingent liabilities.

The revised standard will affect the accounting for business combinations in future periods but the effect will be assessed when these combinations are realised.

IAS 27 Consolidated Financial Statements and Accounting for Investment in Subsidiaries

The revised Standard brings about a change in accounting principles pertaining to increase or decrease in investments in subsidiaries. In the prior periods, taken the absence of specific requirements of the Standards, increases in investments in subsidiaries followed the same accounting treatment as at the acquisition of subsidiaries with goodwill recognition where appropriate. The effect of the reduction of an investment in a subsidiary not leading to a loss of control was recognized in the results of the period when incurred.

In accordance with the revised IAS 27, all increases and decreases in investments in subsidiaries are recognized directly in equity with no effect on the goodwill and the results of the period.

In case of loss of control of a subsidiary as a result of a transaction, the revised standard requires the Group to proceed to derecognition of all assets, liabilities and non-controlling interest at their current value.

Any interest remaining in the former subsidiary of the Group is recognized at fair value at the date when control is lost. Κέρδος ή Profit or Loss from a loss of control is recognized in results for the period as the difference between the proceeds, if any, and adjustments.

The revised standard will affect the accounting treatment for business combinations in future periods, and this effect will be assessed when these combinations are realised.

IAS 28 Investments in Associates

Due to revision of IAS 27 (see above) there have been made amendments to IAS 28, pertaining to loss of control in subsidiary and measurement at fair value of a subsidiary held by the Group that was a former subsidiary.

IAS 39: Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement

Amendment to IAS 39 for financial instruments that meet the hedge accounting requirements

Amendment to IAS 39 clarifies issues in hedge accounting and more particularly the inflation and the one-sided risk of a hedged financial instrument.

Amendments to IAS 39 are applied by entities for annual accounting periods commencing on or after 1 July 2009.

IFRIC 16: Hedges of a Net Investment in a foreign operation

Investments in activities abroad may be held directly by the parent Company or indirectly through a subsidiary. IFRIC 16 aims at providing guidance regarding the nature of the risks hedged, the amount of the hedged item (net investment) for which there is a hedging relationship, and which balances should be reclassified from equity to the income statement as reclassification amendments, with the disposal of the foreign investment activity.

IFRIC 16 applies to an entity that hedges the foreign currency risk arising from its net investments in foreign operations and wishes to qualify for hedge accounting in accordance with IAS 39. The Interpretation applies only to hedging of net investments in foreign operations and does not apply to other types of hedge accounting such as hedging of fair values or cash flows.

IFRIC 16 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 October 2009. Earlier application is encouraged provided that it will be disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

IFRIC 17: Distributions of Non-cash Assets to Owners

When an entity announces the distribution of dividends and has the obligation to distribute a part of its assets to its owners, it should recognize a liability for those dividends payable.

The purpose of IFRIC 17 is to provide guidance when a Company should recognize dividends payable, how to calculate them and how should recognize the difference between the dividend paid and the carrying amount of

the net assets distributed when the dividends payable are paid by the entity.

IFRIC 17 is effective prospectively for annual periods starting on or after 1 July 2009. Earlier application is allowed provided that it will be disclosed in the notes to the financial statements and at the same time applies IFRS 3 (revised 2008), IFRS 27(revised May 2008) and IFRS 5 (revised). Retrospective application is not allowed.

IFRIC 18: Transfers of Assets from Customers

IFRIC 18 mainly applies to entities that provide services of general interest. The purpose of IFRIC 18 clarifies the requirements of the IFRSs regarding the agreements where a tangible asset (land, buildings, equipment) is given by a customer to the entity. The entity must either connect the customer to the network or the customer will acquire continuous access to the supply of products or services (i.e. supply of water or electricity).

In some cases, the entity receives cash from a customer which must be used only to acquire or construct the item of property, plant and equipment in order to connect the customer to a network or provide the customer with ongoing access to a supply of goods or services (or to provide both).

IFRIC clarifies the circumstances in which the definition of an asset is met, the recognition of the asset and the measurement of its cost on initial recognition, the identification of the separately identifiable services (one or more services in exchange for the transferred asset) and the accounting for transfers of cash from customers.

IFRIC 18 is effective for annual periods starting on or after 1 July 2009.

The Group does not intend to proceed to earlier application of the Standards or Interpretations.

Based on the current Group structure and accounting principles followed, the Management does not expect significant effects on the financial statements arising from the application of the above standards and interpretations when they become effective.

Financial Statements have been prepared ,in all material respects , in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards(IFRS),including International Accounting Standards and disclosures approved by the Disclosures Committee of the IASC as those are adopted by the eu , as well as International Financial Accounting Standards published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and especially IAS 34 ΄΄Interim Financial Statements''.

Accounting estimations are required to be used for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

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.

In preparing its financial statements, the Group has chosen to apply accounting policies which secure that the financial statements comply with all the requirements of each applicable Standard or Interpretation. 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 31, 2009.

2.2. 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, 2009.
