1. COMPANY PERFORMANCE AND FINANCIALS

Sarantis Group financial results for 2009 were in line with the management's 2009 turnover target and exceeded its estimates in the profitability level.

Sarantis Group financial results were negatively affected by the adverse economic environment across all regions and business units of the Group, although the management's timely implementation of cost control initiatives and focus on efficient working capital management helped to mitigate the negative impact. The downward trend eased during Q4 2009, predominantly aided by the stabilisation of the EE countries currency devaluation towards the end of 2009 and the termination of the inventory reduction in the retail market.

In 2009 consolidated turnover declined by 14.93% reaching €220.65 mil. from €259.37 mil. last year. The drop in the Group's consolidated turnover reflects the reduced consumer spending and the continuing adverse macroeconomic environment as well as the negative impact from currency movements, and is in accordance to management's guidance. Excluding the FX translation effect, Group sales reduced by c. 7%. Despite operating in a continuously deteriorating economic environment, the downward trend eased during Q4 2009, predominantly aided by the stabilisation towards the end of the year of the currency devaluation in the Group's foreign markets, as well as the end of the inventory reduction that was implemented in H1 2009. More specifically, Group sales reduced by 9.49% in Q4 2009 vs the last quarter of 2008, which corresponds to a 3% reduction excluding the FX translation impact. Gross profit reduced by 16.27% to €110.58 mil. in 2009 from €132.06 mil. Gross profit margin settled at 50.12% versus 50.92%, partly affected by the adverse currency movements. Nevertheless, the negative impact was in part offset by the high participation of the own brands portfolio as well as more competitive raw material prices. EBITDA posted a decrease of 27.81% to €27.08 mil. in 2009 from €37.51 mil. in 2008, while the EBITDA margin stood at 12.27% from 14.46% in the respective prior-year period. Earnings before interest and taxes reached €23.44 mil. from €33.78 mil., reduced by 30.60% and EBIT margin was reduced from 13.02% in 2008 to 10.63% in 2009, exceeding the estimated EBIT margin of 10%. Earnings before taxes settled at €21.47 mil. from €32.74 mil. in 2008, a reduction of 34.41% compared to last year. Earnings after taxes and minorities reached €16.88 mil., reduced by 33.50% compared to 2008 and the EATAM margin settled at 7.65% from 9.79%, exceeding the estimated margin of 6.82%. Including the one-off tax of €0.49 mil. EATAM settled at 16.39 mil., reduced by 35.42% compared to 2008.

Sarantis Group financial results were in line with the management's guidance in terms of turnover, while exceeded the expectations in terms of profitability. More specifically, Group EBITDA exceeded by 6% the estimate of €25.5 mil., while the EBIT stood 7% higher than the projections. The earnings before tax were by 15% above the guidance of €18.75 mil., while EATAM stood 13% improved compared to the estimate of €15 mil. Including the one-off tax, EATAM exceeded management's guidance by 9%.

Despite the challenging macroeconomic environment Sarantis Group has successfully continued to generate solid cashflows, a fact attributed largely to management's focus behind the efficient working capital management and cost saving initiatives. More specifically, the Group's operating working capital settled at €64.10 mil. in 2009, improved compared to €71.17 mil. during 2008 and €76.50 mil. in 9M 2009. Operating working capital requirements over sales settled at 29.05% in 2009 vs 33.68% in 9M 2009 and 27.44% in 2008. At the same time the Group benefits from a healthy capital structure and low leverage. In 2009, total Group's bank debt reached €56.98 mil. from €64.92 mil. in 2008, reduced by 12.24%. The Group's net debt further reduced to €9.20 mil. from €24.68 mil. in 9M 2009 and €29.31 mil. in 2008.

In terms of the turnover breakdown per business unit, the adverse conditions in the consumer sector as well as the unfavorable foreign exchange rates in the Group's foreign markets had a negative effect on the Group with all the business categories decreasing in sales during 2009 versus the previous year. Nonetheless, it should be noted that there is an improvement during the last quarter of 2009 mainly resulting from the stabilization of the currency devaluation in the Group's foreign markets during the last quarter of 2009.

During 2009 the Household Products turnover declined by 13.08%, reaching €96.32 mil. from €110.81 mil. last year. Own brands within this SBU reduced by 9.82% while their participation to the SBU's turnover increased to 99.28% from 95.70%. During Q4 2009 the Household Products sales reduced by 8.83% vs Q4 2008, improved over the 19.37% decrease of the third quarter of 2009.

During 2009 Cosmetics recorded a sales decline of 16.79% amounting to €94.39 mil. from €113.44 mil. in 2008. In this SBU, own brands demonstrate a decline of 20.63% and their contribution to total turnover also dropped to 67.56% from 70.83%. Cosmetics exhibited improved sales during Q4 2009 compared to the previous quarters of 2009, as Q4 2009 sales dropped by 13.88% vs Q4 2008, while Q3 2009 drop was equal to 18.63%.

The category of Other Sales also had a satisfactory performance during Q4 2009 mainly driven by the subcategory of the Selective Products, which outperformed the previous quarters presenting a 21.10% increase in Q4 2009 versus Q4 2008.

With respect to Earnings Before Interest and Tax, it should be noted that the negative impact of the weak consumer environment, the deteriorating trading conditions and the currency devaluation in the group's foreign countries is partly offset by the realization of cost cutting initiatives and. Additionally, it is worth to note that during 2009 the Household Products have proven to be more resilient in terms of profitability partly thanks to lower commodity costs.

More specifically, Household products EBIT, reversing the previous quarter's trend, increased in 2009 by 24.42% to €11.11 mil. from €8.93 mil. in 2008. Their contribution to total EBIT increased from 26.44% in 2008 to 47.41% in 2009, while their EBIT margin reached 11.54% from 8.06%. Own brands of this category posted an EBIT growth of 25.21% during 2009, reaching €11.06mil.

Cosmetics EBIT decreased in 2009 by 71.62% compared to 2008. The Cosmetics EBIT margin during 2009 settled at 4.33% vs 12.68% in 2008. The operating profits of own brands within this category stood at €3.35 mil. during 2009 from €12.03 mil. in 2008, reduced by 72.12%.

The Estee Lauder JV income settled at €6.17 mil. in accordance with management's estimates.

Looking at the geographical analysis, in 2009 the Greek market was influenced by the drastic inventory reduction that took place mainly during the first half of 2009 as well as the weak consumer spending and the challenging trading conditions that prevailed in the market throughout the year as a result of the adverse macroeconomic environment.

More specifically, sales in the Greek market dropped by 14.30% during 2009, reaching €91.49 mil. from €106.75 mil. in 2008. However, during the fourth quarter of 2009 Greece exhibited an improved performance in terms of sales versus the previous quarters of 2009, aimed by the Luxury Cosmetics subcategory and the Household Products.

In terms of the EE market and more specifically the Group's old countries of operation, the sales drop is largely attributed to the currency devaluation as well as the deteriorating consumption trends in the majority of the EE counties. In particular, the old countries posted a decline of 15.06% in 2009 versus the previous year, which consists of a c. 2% sales drop in local currency and a c.

13% average currency devaluation . It is worth to note that the old countries' local currency sales contraction eased during Q4 2009 at 2.5% compared to the drop of c. 6% observed in Q3 2009.

Turnover contribution to total turnover from the foreign markets in 2009 remains at the previous year's level standing at 58.54%.

As far as EBIT is concerned, The Greek EBIT during 2009 was reduced by 13.15% to €16.49 mil. It is worth to mention that during the fourth quarter the Greek EBIT stood at €5.10 mil increased by 42.75% versus the respective quarter last year and improved over the performance of this year's previous quarters. Excluding the Estee Lauder JV income, the Greek EBIT reached €2.50 mil. in Q4 2009 which corresponds to a 87% increase compared to last year's last quarter. This improvement stems partly from the improvement during Q4 2009 in the subcategory of Luxury Cosmetics and the Household Products. The Greek EBIT margin, excluding the EL JV income, stood at 11.28% in 2009 from 11.32% last year.

The old countries recorded an EBIT reduction of 53.01% to €6.95 mil in 2009 from €14.80 mil in 2008. The old countries EBIT margin settled at 5.39% in 2009 vs 9.74% in 2008.

Gross profit margin was maintained at last year's level, despite the adverse foreign exchange fluctuations, settling at 50.12% versus 50.92% in 12M 2008, as a result of the increased participation of own brands in the total Group turnover.

The EBIT and EATAM margins are lower than last year's margins largely affected by the deteriorating consumer environment, but they exceeded management's estimations.

The operating working capital settled at €64.10 mil. over €71.17 mil. in 2008, thanks to the emphasis that was given on the efficient management of working capital.

During 2009, the Group's net debt reduced significantly to €9.20 mil.

Finally, The Board of Directors will recommend to the Annual General Meeting of shareholders the distribution of dividend of €0.01 per share. This is less than the dividend of 2008, and reflects the higher priority assigned by the Group to the preservation of the greatest possible liquidity so as to

be better positioned to face the challenges of 2010 and also enable the use of the company's liquidity in potential future investments.

2. IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENTS DURING 2009

Α) Corporate Presentation of the Group at the Association of Greek Institutional Investors

Sarantis Group corporate presentation was realized on April 1st 2009 at the Association of Greek Institutional Investors where Mr. Konstantinos Rozakeas, Chief Financial Officer of Sarantis Group, presented the Group's 2008 financial results as well as the management's strategy and estimates for 2009 financial results.

According to Mr. Rozakeas, despite the challenging economic environment in 2008 the Group's core Business Categories of Fragrances & Cosmetics and Household Products continued their satisfactory growth pattern, while at the same time further emphasis was placed on the own brand portfolio. In particular, own brands sales increased by 14.27% and their contribution to total turnover increased to 71.86% from 67.52% which was last year. Furthermore, the Group's foreign countries of operation continued to growth further, increasing at the same time their participation to total Group Turnover. More specifically, the business outside Greece contributed more than 50% to total consolidated sales reaching 58.84% from 55.61% last year.

In addition, Mr. Rozakeas pointed out a few factors that affected negatively the Group's financial results during the fourth quarter of 2008. More specifically, the main reasons of the Group's fourth quarter weak performance are the devaluation of the currencies of the Group's foreign countries, the Athens riots and the deteriorating consumption activity, the reduced earnings by the Estee Lauder JV, the one-off loss assumed due to the close of the aluminium hedge, the Group's cost saving initiatives and additional provisions for potential future bad debts.

In terms of the Group's future prospects and developments, Mr. Rozakeas remarked that in the middle of the adverse economic environment, the Group remains focused on its strategic pillars of growth. A significant part of the Group's strategy is the further organic growth of the core business activities together with the further development of the own brands portfolio. Surely, the company's duty is the continuous examination of the situation in the economies of the Group's foreign countries and modification of the business where deemed necessary according to the new market conditions. In any case, key to the Group's future development is the increase of the existing market shares of the own brands in the region. Finally, following the successful implementation and "go live" of SAP in the parent company in January 2009, the Group now focuses on the implementation of SAP and "go live" in Poland and Romania in January of 2010.

According to the Management's estimates, turnover will reach EUR 220 mil. by the end of 2009, versus EUR 259.37 mil. in the end of 2008. EBITDA is expected to decrease to 25.50 mil. from EUR 37.51 million in 2008. EBIT is estimated to reach EUR 22 mil. in 2009 from EUR 33.78 mil. in

2008, while 2009 EBT is expected to reach EUR 18.75 mil. Finally, EAT and EATAM are expected to settle at EUR 15 mil. in 2009.

B) Extraordinary Tax Contribution

The Law 3808/2009, concerning the extraordinary tax contribution on the profits of the fiscal year 2009, became effective on 10.12.09. According to article 2 of the Law, the Company was burdened with € 487,935.32, amount that burdened the results of the fiscal year 2009 and is paid in 2010.

3. . MAJOR RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES FOR THE YEAR 2010.

The Group's activities expose it to financial and other risks, including the effects of changes in debt and equity market prices and interest rates. The Group's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group as a whole. The Group's financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, trade accounts receivable and payable, loans, associates and dividends payable.

Foreign Exchange Risk

The Group operates in an environment characterized by relatively high foreign exchange risk given that almost 60% of the Group's total turnover comes from Eastern European countries where the volatility of foreign exchange rates has been high in the recent months. The management of the Group is constantly examining the currencies' fluctuations, but at the moment it has not taken any measures against the fx risk due to the lack of appropriate hedging tools.

Interest Rate Risk

Group's interest rate risk management objective is to achieve an optimal balance between borrowing cost and the potential effect of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows. The Group manages its debt and overall financing strategies using a combination of short and long-term debt. It is the policy of the Group to continuously review interest rate trends along with its financing needs. Daily working capital requirements are typically financed with operational cash flow and through the use of various committed lines of credit. The interest rate on these short-term borrowing arrangements, is generally determined as the inter-bank offering rate at the borrowing date plus a pre-set margin. The mix of fixed-rate debt and variable-rate debt is managed within policy guidelines. In case of an interest rate increase, the company will not have a negative impact on FY 2009 financial results as part of the Group's strategy is the continuous reduction of the company's existing bank loans.

Credit Risk

The Group's trade receivables mainly come from wholesale clients. All Group companies monitor the financial position of their debtors on an ongoing basis and control the granting of credit as well as the credit lines. Where considered appropriate, credit guarantee insurance cover is purchased. Moreover, appropriate provision for impairment losses is made for specific credit risks where deemed necessary.

Liquidity Risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies the existence of a balance between cash flows as well as funding through adequate amounts of committed credit facilities. The Group closely monitors the amount of funding as well as the short-term and long-term funding with respect to total debt and the composition of total debt, manages the risk that could arise from the lack of sufficient liquidity and secures that necessary borrowing facilities are maintained. The Group has sufficient credit line facilities that could be utilized to fund any potential shortfall in cash resources. The Group manages and monitors its working capital in order to minimize any possible liquidity and cash flow risks.

Raw material prices risk

The Group is exposed to the volatility of raw material prices. For instance, aluminium is a basic raw material for the Group and as such movements in the aluminium price affect the Group's financials. In order to protect itself against adverse aluminium price movements, the Group hedges against fluctuations of the aluminium price over short term periods of time.

4. FUTURE PROSPECTS

Sarantis Group 2009 financial results were according to management's expectations and reflect the highly challenging trading environment. Despite operating in a continuously deteriorating economic environment, the downward trend eased during the fourth quarter of 2009, aided by the low base in Q4 2008, the stabilization towards the end of the year of the currency devaluation in the EE region, the end of the key accounts destocking process, as well as the timely implementation of cost saving initiatives and the management's tight focus on working capital and solid cash flow generation.

The future prospects of the Group are undoubtedly affected by the challenging economic and business environment. However, exact estimations on the 2010 prospects are difficult to be made at the moment given the unstable and volatile environment.

As the economic uncertainty remains, the management expects the difficult trading conditions will persist in 2010 and the emphasis will be placed on aligning the business cost structure with the expected sales growth.

The Group, is aware of the turbulent market conditions, keeps a close look on the developments of its foreign countries and is able to adjust to the new circumstances.

In the middle of the particularly challenging economic and business environment, the Group remains focused on its strategic pillars of growth that consist of organic growth of the core business activities and emphasis on Sarantis own brands portfolio, increase of the existing market shares of own brands in the EE region, continuous examination of the situation in the economies of the Group's foreign countries and modification of the business where deemed necessary according to the new market conditions and finally, focus on potential acquisitions in the old countries of operation, as long as market share, profitability and cost structure allow for synergies.

1.3 Business activity

The group is active in the production and trade of cosmetics, household use products, parapharmaceutical items and car accessories.

The group's main activities have not changed from the previous year.

2. BASIS FOR THE PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

2.1 Compliance with IFRS

The consolidated and individual financial statements of "GR. SARANTIS S.A." are in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), which have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) as well as their interpretations, which have been issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) of IASB that have been adopted by the European Union.

2.2 Basis for the preparation of the Financial Statements

The consolidated and individual financial statements of "GR. SARANTIS S.A." have been prepared according to the going concern principle and the historic cost principle, as such is amended by the adjustment of specific asset and liability items.

2.3 Approval of Financial Statements

The annual consolidated financial statements have been approved by the company's Board of Directors on 12/03/2010.

2.4 Covered period

The present annual consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of "GR. SARANTIS S.A." and its subsidiaries, which together are referred to as the group, and cover the period from January 1st 2009 to December 31st 2009.

2.5 Presentation of the Financial Statements

The present financial statements are presented in €, which is the group's operating currency, namely the currency of the primary economic environment in which the parent company operates.

2.6 Significant judgments and estimations by Management

The preparation of the Financial Statements according to the International Accounting Standards requires the implementation of estimations, judgments and assumptions, that may affect the accounting balances of assets and liabilities and the required disclosures for

contingent receivables and liabilities, as well as the amount of income and expenses recognized.

The use of adequate information and the implementation of subjective judgment constitute inseparable data for the conduct of estimations in the valuation of assets, liabilities for employee benefits, impairment of assets, tax un-audited fiscal years and pending judicial cases. The estimations are considered significant but not binding. Real future results may differ from the aforementioned estimations.

2.7 New standards – Amendments and interpretations to existing standards

IFRS 8 - Operating Sectors (in effect for annual periods beginning from January 1st 2009 and onwards)

IFRS 8 replaces IAS 14 and requires the disclosure of specific descriptive and financial information as regards to operating sectors, while it also increases requirements for existing disclosures. The Group applies IFRS 8 from January 1st 2009.

IAS 23 Borrowing cost (amendment)

In the amendment of IAS 23 "Borrowing cost", the previously considered basic method for recognition of borrowing cost in the results has been eliminated. Borrowing cost that is directly attributed to the acquisition, construction or production of a selective asset, as defined by IAS 23, must be part of the item's cost. The amended version of IAS 23 is mandatory for annual periods beginning from January 1st 2009 and onwards. The group will not be affected by this amendment.

IFRIC 11 – IFRS 2: Group and Treasury Share Transactions

The interpretation is applied for annual financial periods beginning from March 1st 2007 and onwards and clarifies the case when employees of a subsidiary receive shares of the parent company. It also clarifies whether specific types of transactions should be accounted for as transactions settled with participating titles or as transactions settled with cash. The interpretation will not affect the group's financial statements.

IFRIC 12 – Concession Agreements

IFRIC 12 applies to annual accounting periods beginning from January 1st 2008 and onwards and refers to companies that participate in concession agreements.

IFRIC 13 Customer loyalty programs

IFRIC issued an interpretation related to the implementation of those defined by IAS 18 for the recognition of income. IFRIC 13 "Customer loyalty programs" specifies that when companies grant their customers award credits (i.e. points) as part of a sale transaction and customers can cash such credits in the future for free or discounted goods or services, then paragraph 13 of IAS 18 should be applied. This requires that award credits be accounted for as a separate item of the sale transaction and a part of the price received or the receivable

recognized to be allocated to award credits. The recognition time of this income item is postponed until the company satisfies its liabilities that are linked to the award credits, either providing such awards directly or transferring the liability to a third party. The application of IFRIC 13 is mandatory for periods beginning on or after July 1st 2008. The interpretation will not affect the financial statements of the group.

IFRIC 14: IAS 19 - The limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction

IFRIC 14 covers the interaction between minimum funding requirements (which are usually imposed by laws and regulations) and the measurement of a defined benefit asset. The issue addressed by IFRIC 14 is related only to limited cases of post employment defined benefit plans "in surplus" or subject to minimum funding requirements. Amongst others, the interpretation specifically addresses the definition of "available" used in IAS 19. Generally, the interpretation explains that an economic benefit is available if the company has an implicit right to recognize the benefit during the settlement of the defined benefit plan. The recognition of the item does not depend on whether the economic benefits are directly recognizable during the balance sheet date or from how any possible surplus is intended to be used. The interpretation also deals with the accounting handling of a liability for minimum funding requirements that arise from services already received by the company. IFRIC 14 is applied for periods beginning from January 1st 2008 and onwards. As an exception, IFRIC 14 does not require full retrospective application. The application is required during the beginning of the first period for which the Interpretation is applied. The interpretation will not affect the group's financial statements.

IFRIC 15 Agreements for the construction of Real Estate

The Interpretations Committee issued IFRIC 15 "Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate". IFRIC 15 is in effect for annual periods beginning on or after January 1st 2009. The interpretation does not apply to the Group.

IFRIC 16 Hedges of a Net Investment in a Foreign Operation

The Interpretation Committee issued IFRIC 16 "Hedges of a Net Investment in a Foreign Operation". The Interpretation clarifies several issues for the accounting treatment of hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation (such as subsidiaries and associate companies whose activities are realized in a currency other than the operating currency of the reference company).

IFRIC 16 is in effect for annual periods beginning on or after October 1st 2008, without retrospective application. The interpretation does not apply to the Group.

IAS 1: Presentation of financial statements

The basic changes of this Standard are summarized in the separate presentation of changes in equity that arise from transactions with shareholders under their capacity as such (i.e.

dividends, capital increases) from the other changes in equity (i.e. conversion reserves). Moreover, the improved version of the Standard introduces changes in terminology as well as in the presentation of the financial statements. The new definitions of the Standard however do not change the recognition, measurement or disclosure rules of specific transactions and other events that are required by other Standards. The amendment of IAS 1 is mandatory for periods beginning on or after January 1st 2009 while the requirements also apply to IAS 8 "Accounting policies, changes in accounting estimations and errors". The changes that are induced by the amendment to IAS 1 are applied retrospectively. The group applied the above amendments and made the necessary changes in the presentation of its financial statements for 2009.

IAS 32 and IAS 1 Puttable Instruments

The amendment to IAS 32 requires that specific puttable instruments and liabilities that arise during the liquidation of an entity, be classified as Equity if specific criteria are met. The amendment to IAS 1 requires the disclosure of information regarding the puttable instruments classified as Equity. The amended version of IAS 32 is in effect for periods beginning on or after January 1st 2009.

IFRS 2, Share based payments "vesting conditions and cancelations" – Amended

The amendment of the standard clarifies two issues" The definition of "vesting conditions", with the introduction of the term "non-vesting conditions" for terms that do not constitute service or performance conditions. Also it is clarified that all cancelations, either arising from the entity or from counterparties, must have the same accounting treatment. IFRS 2 is in effect for periods beginning on or after January 1st 2009 and its application will not affect the group's financial statements.

IFRS 3 Business Combinations and IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements

IFRS 3 will be applied to business combinations that arise in such periods and the application of such has been amended to include business combinations under joint control and without consideration (parallel listing of shares). IFRS 3 and IAS 27, amongst others, require a greater use of the fair value through the income statement and a reinforcement of the financial statement of the referred entity. Furthermore, such standards introduce the following requirements:

(1) a recalculation of the participation percentage when control is acquired or lost

(2) direct recognition in equity of the effect of all transactions between controlled an noncontrolled parties, when control is not lost, and

(3) focus on what has been provided to the seller as exchange rather than to the amount of the expense for the acquisition.

The amendments to IFRS 3 and IAS 27 are in effect for periods beginning on or after July 1st 2009.

IFRIC 17 Distribution of non-cash assets to owners

According to the Interpretation, when a company proceeds with announcing a distribution and has the obligation to distribute assets that relate to its owners, it should recognize a liability for such dividends payable.

IFRIC 17 provides guidance regarding when a company should recognize dividends payable, how such should be measured as well as how the differences between the book value of assets distributed and the book value of dividends payable should be booked when the company pays out the dividends payable.

IFRIC 17 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009, while retrospective application is not required. The interpretation will not affect the group's financial statements. The group does not intend to apply the interpretation in advance.

IFRIC 18 Transfers of assets from customers

IFRIC 18 mainly concerns utility companies. The Interpretation clarifies the requirements of IFRS regarding agreements in which a company receives from a customer an item of property, plant and equipment that it must then use either to connect the customer to a network or to provide the customer with ongoing access to a supply of goods or services (such as a supply of electricity, gas or water) or to do both.

IFRIC 18 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009, while retrospective application is not required. The interpretation does not apply to the group.

3 BASIC ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

3.1 Consolidation

3.1.1 Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all companies on which the group has the power to control their financial and business policies. The group considers that is has and exercises control when it participations with a percentage over half the voting rights of a company.

When defining whether the group exercises control on voting rights of another economic unit, the existence of potential voting rights that are exercisable or convertible are also taken into account.

Subsidiaries are consolidated with the full consolidation method from the date that control over them is acquired and cease to be consolidated from the date that this control no longer exists.

Furthermore, subsidiaries that are acquired are initially consolidated with the purchase method. This method includes the readjustment to fair value of all recognized assets and liabilities, including contingent liabilities of the subsidiary during the acquisition date, regardless of whether such have been included in the financial statements of the subsidiary prior to its acquisition. During the initial recognition, the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary are included in the consolidated balance sheet in readjusted amounts, which are also used as the base for their subsequent calculation according to the group's accounting principles.

The accounting policies of subsidiaries are amended when deemed necessary in order to render such consistent with the policies adopted by the group.

Accounts for receivables and liabilities, as well as transactions, income and expenses and unrealized profit or losses between the group's companies, are written off in the consolidated financial statements.

In the parent's financial statements, investments in subsidiaries are valued, according to IAS 27, at acquisition cost minus any accumulated impairment loss.

Finally, the Group does not consolidated subsidiaries when it considers that the effect of such on the consolidated financial statements is insignificant.

3.1.2 Associates

Associates are companies on which the Group can exert significant influence but which do not fulfill the conditions to be classified as subsidiaries or joint ventures. Significant influence is the authority to participate in decisions that regard decisions for the issuer's financial and business policies, but not control on such polices. Significant influence is usually implied when the group holds a percentage between 20% and 50% of the voting rights through ownership of shares or another type of agreement.

Investments in associates are initially recognized at cost and are subsequently valued using the equity method for consolidation purposes. Goodwill is included in the book cost of the investment and is examined for impairment as part of the investment.

When an economic unit of the group transacts with a group's associate company, any possible intra-company profit and losses are written-off by the participation percentage of the group in the relevant associate company.

All subsequent changes of the participation percentage in the associate company's net position are recognized in book value of the group's investment.

Changes that arise from the profit or losses of associates are registered in the consolidated profit and loss account.

Changes that have been directly recognized in equity of the associates are recognized in the group's consolidated equity.

Any changes recognized directly in equity that are not related to a result, such as the

distribution of dividends or other transactions with shareholders of the associate, are registered in the book value of the participation. No effect in the net result or equity is recognized in the context of such transactions.

When the share of losses in as associate for the group is equal or over the book value of the investment, including any other secured receivables, the group does not recognize further losses, unless it has been burdened with commitments or has proceeded with payments on behalf of the associate.

The accounting policies of associates are amended when deemed necessary in order to render such consistent with the policies adopted by the group.

In the parent's financial statements, investments in associates are valued, according to IAS 28, at acquisition cost minus any accumulated impairment loss.

3.1.3 Joint Ventures

Economic units whose financial activities are controlled jointly by the group and by other joint venture entities independent to the group, are accounted for using proportionate consolidation.

In the case where the group sells assets to the joint-venture, it recognizes only the profit or loss from the transaction that corresponds to the participation of the other members.

However, if the group purchases assets from the joint-venture, it does not recognize its share in the profit or loss until it sells the asset to third parties. In the case of indications of impairment of assets acquired by the joint-venture, then any loss is recognized in whole.

Intra-company balances of the group with the joint-venture are written-off, canceling the balances of the joint-venture by the share of the investing company.

3.2 Foreign currency conversion

Transactions in foreign currency are converted to the operating currency using exchange rates in effect during the date of the transactions.

Profit and losses from foreign exchange difference, which arise from the settlement of such transactions during the period and from the conversion of monetary items expressed in foreign currency with the effective exchange rates during the balance sheet date, are registered in the results.

Foreign exchange differences from non-monetary items valued at fair value, are considered as part of the fair value and thus are registered accordingly as fair value differences.

Items of the financial statements of the group's companies are calculated based on the currency of the economic environment in the country where each group company operates.

The individual financial statements of companies participating in the consolidation, and which are initially presented in a currency different than the group's presentation currency, have

been converted to €. The assets and liabilities have been converted to € according to the closing exchange rate during the balance sheet date. Income and expenses have been converted to the group's presentation currency at average exchange rates of each reported period. Any differences that arise from this procedure have been transferred to an equity reserve.

3.3 Financial information by segment

A business segment is defined as a group of assets and activities that provide goods and services, that are subject to different risks and returns than other business segments.

A geographical segment is defined as a geographical region in which goods and services are provided and which is subject to different risks and returns than other regions.

The group has selected information by geographic segment as primary for segment reporting.

3.4 Goodwill

Goodwill which is acquired during a business combination, is initially recognized at cost, which is the excess cost of the combination, over the group's proportion in the fair value of net assets acquired.

Following the initial recognition, goodwill is calculated at cost minus any accumulated impairment losses. The group examines goodwill for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if there are events or changes in circumstances that suggest that goodwill may be impaired.

3.5 Intangible assets

Intangible assets of the group are initially recognized at acquisition cost. Following the initial recognition, intangible assets are calculated at cost minus accumulated amortization and any impairment loss that may have emerged.

The useful economic life and depreciation method are reviewed at least at the end of each financial period. If the estimated useful life or expected burn-up rate of future economic benefits incorporated in another intangible asset have changed, the changes are accounted for as changes in accounting estimations.

Intangible assets mainly include the acquired software used in production or management.

3.6 Tangible assets

Land-plots and buildings are presented in the financial statements at readjusted values minus accumulated depreciations.

The fair value of land-plots and buildings is defined periodically by an independent evaluator.

The mechanical equipment and other tangible fixed assets are presented at acquisition cost minus accumulated depreciations and possible impairment losses.

The acquisition cost of fixed assets includes all expenses directly attributed to the acquisition of the assets. Subsequent expenses are registered as in increase of the tangible assets' book value or as a separate fixed asset, only to the extent where such expenses increase the future economic benefits expected to arise from the use of the fixed assets, and the cost of such may be reliably calculated. The cost of repairs and maintenance is registered in the results of the period where such are realized.

Self-produced tangible assets constitute and addition to the acquisition cost of tangible assets at values that include the direct payroll cost for staff that participates in the construction, the cost of used materials and other general costs.

The depreciations of tangible fixed assets are calculated with the straight line method during their useful life, which is as follows:

Buildings from 25 to 60 years Mechanical equipment from 8 to 10 years Vehicles from 5 to 9 years Other equipment from 3 to 5 years

The residual values and useful economic lives of tangible fixed assets are subject to reassessment at each balance sheet date. When the residuals values, the expected useful life or expected burn-up rate of future economic benefits incorporated in an asset have changed, the changes are accounted for as changes in accounting estimations.

Upon sale of the tangible fixed assets, any difference between the proceeds and the book value are booked as profit or loss to the results.

The book value of tangible fixed assets is examined for impairment when there are indications, namely events or changes in circumstances, that the book value may not be recoverable. If there is such an indication and the book value exceeds the estimated recoverable amount, the assets or cash flow creation units are impaired to the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of property, facilities and equipment is the largest between their net sales price and their value in use. For the calculation of the value in use, the expected future cash flows are discounted to present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the market's current expectations for the time value of money and related risks as regards to the asset. When the book values of tangible assets exceed their recoverable value, the difference (impairment) is registered initially as a reduction of the created fair value reserve (if there is such for the relevant fixed asset), which is presented in equity accounts. Any impairment loss that emerges over the created reserve for the specific fixed asset, is recognized directly as an expense in the profit and loss account.

3.7 Inventories

Inventories include raw materials, materials and other goods acquired with the intention of selling such in the future.

The cost of inventories is defined using the weighted average method, and includes all the expenses realized in order to render inventories to their current position and condition and which are directly attributable to the production process, as well as part of general expenses related to the production. During the Balance Sheet date, inventories are presented at the lowest price between acquisition cost and net realizable value.

Net realizable value is the estimated sales price during the normal conduct of the company's activities, minus the estimated cost necessary to realize the sale.

3.8 Financial instruments

Financial instrument is any contract that creates a financial asset in an enterprise and a financial liability or equity instrument in another.

The financial instruments of the Group are classified in the following categories according to the substance of the contract and the purpose for which they were purchased.

Financial instruments valued at fair value through the profit and loss account

These comprise assets that satisfy any of the following conditions:

  • Financial assets that are held for trading purposes (including derivatives, except those that are designated and effective hedging instruments, those that are acquired or incurred for the purpose of sale or repurchase and, finally, those that are part of a portfolio of designated financial instruments).
  • Upon initial recognition it is designated by the company as an instrument valued at fair value, with any changes recognized through the Profit and Loss Account.

Financial assets available for sale

  • These include non derivative financial assets that are either designated as such or cannot be included in any of the previous categories.
  • Given that they can be reliably defined, such financial assets are subsequently valued at fair value, while if they cannot be reliably defined such are valued at acquisition cost.
  • The profit or losses that arise from financial assets available for sale are directly transferred to equity and remain in equity until such are written off.

In case of impairment in financial assets, the amount is not transferred to equity but to the results. The same holds for profit or losses that emerge from changes in exchange rates.

3.9 Trade receivables

Receivables from customers are initially booked at their fair value, which coincides with their

nominal value, less impairment losses. Impairment losses (losses from doubtful receivables) are recognized when there is objective evidence that the group is not in a position to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms. The amount of the impairment loss is the difference between the book value of receivables and the estimated future cash flows. The amount of the impairment loss is registered as an expense in the results of the period where the above conditions hold.

3.10 Cash & cash equivalents

Cash & cash equivalents include cash in banks and in hand, as well as short-term highly liquid investments such as repos and bank deposits with a maturity less than three months.

3.11 Share capital

Expenses realized for the issuance of shares are presented after the deduction of the relevant income tax, reducing the product of the issue. Expenses related to the issuance of shares for the acquisition of companies, are included in the acquisition cost of the company acquired.

3.12 Loans

Loans provide long-term financing for the group's operations. All loans are initially recognized at cost, which is the fair value of the amount received, except for the direct expenses of the loan's issue.

Following the initial recognition, loans are valued at depreciation cost based on the real interest rate method and any differences in recognized in the results during the borrowing period.

3.13 Leases

The estimation of whether an agreement includes a lease, takes place during the agreement's initiation, taking into account all the available information and specific conditions in effect.

3.13.1 Group company as lessee

3.13.1.1 Financial leases

The ownership of a leased asset is transferred to the lessee if essentially all the risks and benefits related with the leased asset are transferred to the lessee, regardless of the contract's legal form. During the lease, the asset is recognized at the lower of the fair value of the asset and the present value of the minimum lease payments, including additional payments, if any, covered by the lessee. A respective amount is recognized as a liability from the financial lease regardless if some of the lease payments are paid in advance during the beginning of the lease.

The subsequent accounting treatment of assets acquired with financial leasing agreements, i.e. the used depreciation method and the definition of their useful life, is the same as that

applied for comparable assets acquired without lease contracts. The accounting treatment of the respective liability refers to its gradual reduction, based on the minimum lease payments minus financial charges, which are recognized as an expense in financial expenses. Financial charges are allocated during the lease period and represent a fixed periodic interest rate on the liability's outstanding balance.

3.13.1.2 Operating leases

All other leases are treated as operating leases. Payments in operating leasing contracts are recognized as an expense in the results with the straight line method (connection of income for the period and expense). The related expenses, such as maintenance and insurance, are recognized as expenses when such are realized.

3.14 Retirement benefits and short-term employee benefits

3.14.1 Short-term benefits

Short-term employee benefits (apart from benefits for employment termination) in cash and in kind, are recognized as an expense when such accrue. Any unpaid amount id registered as a liability, while in case where the amount already paid exceeds the benefit, the company then recognizes the excess amount as an asset item (prepaid expense) only to the extent where the prepayment will lead to a decrease of future payments or to a refund.

3.14.2 Defined benefit plans

The liability registered in the balance sheet for defined benefit plans corresponds to the present value of the liability for the defined benefit according to L. 2112/20 and the changes that arise from any actuarial profit or loss and the working experience cost. The obligation of the defined benefit is calculated annually by and independent actuary with the use of the projected unit credit method.

3.15 Recognition of income

Income is recognized to the extent that it is likely that economic benefits will arise for the group and the relevant amounts can be reliably measured. Income is net of value added tax, discounts and refunds. Income between group companies consolidated with the full consolidation method, are fully written-off.

The recognition of income takes place as follows:

3.15.1 Provision of services

Income from agreements for provision of services at a predefined price is recognized based on the completion stage of the transaction during the balance sheet date.

When the result of the transaction that concerns provision of services cannot be reliably estimated, the income is recognized only to the extent where the recognized expenses are

recoverable.

3.15.2 Sales of goods

Income is registered when the essential risks and rewards that emanate from the ownership of the goods have been transferred to the buyer.

3.15.3 Interest income

Interest income is recognized based on the time proportion and by using the real interest rate.

3.15.4 Dividends

Dividends are accounted for as income when the right to receive such is established.

3.16 Government Grants

The Group recognizes the government grants that cumulatively satisfy the following criteria:

  • There is reasonable certainty that the company has complied or will comply to the conditions of the grant and
  • It is probable that the amount of the grant will be received.

Government grants that relate to acquisition of fixed assets are presented as a deferred income in liabilities and recognized in the results during the useful life of the fixed assets such refer to.

3.17 Provisions

Provisions are booked when the Group has a present, legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably measured. The provisions are reviewed at every balance sheet date and are adjusted so as to reflect the present value of the expense deemed necessary to settle the liability. Contingent liabilities are not recorded in the financial statements but are disclosed, except if the probability of an outflow of resources that embody economic benefits is very small. Contingent assets are not recorded in the financial statements but are disclosed if the inflow of economic benefits is probable.

3.18 Dividend distribution

Dividend distribution to shareholders of the parent from the period's profit, are recognized as a liability in the individual and consolidated financial statements on the date when the distribution is approved by the General Shareholders' Meeting.

3.19 Income Tax

3.19.1 Current Income Tax

The current tax asset/liability includes all the liabilities or receivables from the tax authorities

that are related to the current or previous reference periods and which have not yet been paid until the Balance Sheet date. Such are calculated according to the tax rates and tax laws in effect and based on the taxable profit of each period. All changes in current tax assets or liabilities are recognized as a tax expense in the results.

3.19.2 Deferred Income Tax

Deferred income tax is calculated according to the liability method which results from the temporary differences. Such includes the comparison between the book value of assets or liabilities in the consolidated financial statements with their respective tax base.

Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is likely that such will be offset against the future income tax.

The group recognizes a previously non-recognized deferred tax asset to the extent that it is likely that the future taxable profit will allow the recovery of the deferred tax asset.

The deferred tax asset is re-examined at each balance sheet date and is reduced to the extent that it is no longer likely that an adequate taxable profit will be available to allow the utilization of the benefit from part or the total deferred tax asset.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all temporary tax differences.

Tax losses that can be transferred to subsequent periods are recognized as deferred tax assets.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are valued based on the tax rates that are expected to be in effect during the period in which the asset or liability will be settled, taking into consideration the tax rates (and tax laws) that have been put into effect or are essentially in effect up until the balance sheet date.

Changes in the deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized as part of the tax expense in the profit and loss account. Only changes that arise from specific changes in assets or liabilities, which are recognized directly in the equity of the Group, such as the revaluation of property value, result in the relevant change in deferred tax assets or liabilities being charged/credited against the relevant equity account.

4 CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Group's objectives as regards to management of capital, is to reassure the ability for the Group's smooth operation, aiming at providing satisfactory returns to shareholders and to maintain an ideal capital structure by reducing thus the cost of capital. The Group monitors its capital based on the leverage ratio. The leverage ratio is calculated by dividing net debt with total employed capital. Net debt is calculated as "Total debt" (including "short-term and longterm debt" as presented in the Balance Sheet) minus "Cash and cash equivalents". The calculation of net debt does not include purchases of treasury shares. Total employed capital

is calculated as "Equity attributed to shareholders of the parent" as presented in the balance sheet plus net debt. The leverage ratio on 31 December 2009 was as follows:

GROUP
31/12/2009

5.17 Actuarial Assumptions

The main actuarial assumptions are as follows:

a. Inflation: All calculations took place with constant prices of 31/12/2009. Namely, the assumption was made that wages and day wages and respective indemnities will be readjusted automatically with the current increase of consumer prices.

b. Wage scale: Wages and day wages increase by 3.0% annually in nominal prices, namely including inflation.

c. Discount rate for calculations: According to the guidance of IAS 19, the discount rate for the calculation of present values and the investment of inventories, must be defined with prudence. In our case, this rate was set at 5.0% in nominal terms.

d. Mortality: As a mortality probability model, the Tables of Greek Population 1990 of the Hellenic Actuaries Union were used.

e. Dismissals: We assumed that no dismissals will occur and all employees will receive indemnity during their retirement.

f. Retirement ages: Due to lack of information for premature retirement and retirement due to inabilities, the retirement ages of the National Social Security Institute (IKA) were used as retirement ages for men and women.
