CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION FOR THE THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2011 (All amounts in Euro thousands unless otherwise stated)
Hellenic Petroleum S.A. and its subsidiaries ("Hellenic Petroleum" or "the Group") operate in the energy sector predominantly in Greece and the Balkans. The Group's activities include exploration for hydrocarbons, refining and marketing of oil products, and the production and marketing of petrochemical products. The Group also provides engineering services. Through its investments in DEPA and Elpedison, the Group also operates in the sector of natural gas as well as in production and trading of electricity power.
The interim consolidated financial information of Hellenic Petroleum and its subsidiaries are prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 (IAS 34) – Interim Financial Reporting.
This interim consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2010. These can be found on the Group's website www.helpe.gr.
The condensed interim consolidated financial information of the Group for the three month period ended 31 March 2011 were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 20 May 2011.
The accounting policies used in the preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial information for the three month period ended 31 March 2011 are consistent with those applied for the preparation of the consolidated published accounts for the year ended 31 December 2010, except as described below. The interim financial statements have been prepared under the revised disclosure requirements. Where necessary, comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to changes in the presentation of the current year. Taxes on income in the interim periods are accrued using the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual earnings.
In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2010, with the exception of changes in estimates that are required in determining the provision for income taxes
New standards, amendments to standards and interpretations: Certain new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been issued that are mandatory for periods beginning during the current reporting period and subsequent reporting periods. The Group's evaluation of the effect of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations is set out below.
The IASB has published five new standards on consolidation and joint arrangements: IFRS 10, IFRS 11, IFRS 12, IAS 27 (amendment) and IAS 28 (amendment). These standards are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. Earlier application is permitted only if the entire "package" of five standards is adopted at the same time. These standards have not yet been endorsed by the EU. The Group is in the process of assessing the impact of the new standards on its consolidated financial statements. The main provisions are as follows:
subsidiaries, associates, joint arrangements and unconsolidated structured entities. An entity can provide any or all of the above disclosures without having to apply IFRS 12 in its entirety, or IFRS 10 or 11, or the amended IAS 27 or 28.
All critical operating decisions are made by the Group's Executive Committee. This committee reviews the Company's internal reporting in order to assess performance and allocate resources. Management has determined the operating segments based on these reports. The committee considers the business from a number of measures which may vary depending on the nature and evolution of a business segment by taking into account the risk profile, cash flow, product and market considerations. Information on the Group's operating segments is as follows:

Currency exchange gains of €27 million for the three-month period to 31 March 2011 are mostly driven by markedto-market gains on US\$ denominated loans, due to the strengthening of the Euro against the US\$ taking place during the period, which were partly set off by net realized and unrealized losses of €8 million from the translation of trade payables and receivables balances. The Group opts to borrow funds in US\$ in order to finance the acquisition of US\$ denominated crude oil stocks.
The amounts represent the net result from associated companies accounted for on an equity basis as well as dividend income from investments which are not consolidated.

On 31 March 2011 a new tax law was enacted in Greece. The new tax law introduced certain amendments in the corporate income tax legislation as is the reduction of the Greek statutory tax rate to 20% for accounting years starting as of 1 January 2011 onwards (the previous tax law stipulated that the income tax rate was 24% for 2010 and that it would be gradually reduced to 23% for 2011, 22% for 2012, 21% for 2013 and 20% for 2014 onwards). The effect of the change in tax rates resulted in lower current tax (owing to reduced tax rate from 23% to 20%), but also to increased deferred income taxes due to the rebasing of the deferred tax position.
Diluted earnings per ordinary share are not presented, as they are not materially different from basic earnings per share.
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to equity holders of the company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period.

During the AGM of Hellenic Petroleum S.A. held on 25 May 2005, a new share option scheme was approved, based on years 2005 – 2007, with the intention to link the number of share options granted to employees with the results and performance of the Company and its management. The AGM of Hellenic Petroleum S.A of 31 May 2006 has approved and granted stock options for the year 2005 of 272.100 shares. Τhe AGM of 17 May 2007 has approved and granted stock options for the year 2006 of 408.015 shares. The AGM of 14 May 2008 has approved and granted stock options for the year 2007 of 385.236 shares and extended the scheme for an additional base year, namely 2008. The AGM of 3 June 2009 has approved and granted stock options for the year 2008 of 1.704.716 shares and extended the scheme for 2009. The vesting period is 1 November to 5 December of the years 2008 – 2012, 2009 – 2013, 2010 – 2014 and 2011 – 2015 for each of the base years 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 respectively.
Following the Board Decision of 27 April 2010, the AGM of Hellenic Petroleum held on 2 June 2010 approved the non – granting of any stock options for the year 2009, as a result of the adverse macroeconomic environment and extended the scheme for an additional base year, 2010, for which the vesting period will commence in 2012. The total number of stock options approved during the original AGM of 25 May 2005 has not been altered by the subsequent extensions to the scheme.
Since the vesting period is 1 November to 5 December of each respective year, no stock options were exercised during the three month period ended 31 March 2011, or the comparative period of the previous year. Moreover, no stock options have been exercised to date, due to the negative relationship between the exercise price and the share market price during the respective vesting periods. Stock based compensation expense was immaterial for the three month periods ended 31 March 2011 and 2010.

Under Greek law, corporations are required to transfer a minimum of 5% of their annual net profit as reflected in their statutory books to a statutory reserve until such reserve equals one third of outstanding share capital. This reserve cannot be distributed during the existence of the corporation, but can be used to offset accumulated losses.
Special reserves primarily relate to reserves arising from tax revaluations which have been included in the holding company accounts in accordance with the relevant legislation in prior years.

Hellenic Petroleum Finance plc (HPF) was established in November 2005 in the U.K. and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hellenic Petroleum S.A. The company acts as the central treasury vehicle of the Hellenic Petroleum Group and its activities include the financing of the Group companies.
On 18 April 2006 the Company concluded a €300 million syndicated 364-day multi-currency revolving credit facility agreement with the guarantee of the Parent Company. The facility had an extension option for a further 364 day period which was exercised in 2007 and consequently the maturity date was extended to 15 April 2008. In April 2008, the facility was extended for a further 364 day period until 14 April 2009 and the facility amount was increased to €400 million. Subsequently the facility was extended as follows, each time for a further 364-day period: a) in April 2009 it was extended to 13 April 2010, b) in April 2010 it was extended to 12 April 2011 and c) in April 2011 it was extended to 10 April 2012. The Euro equivalent of the total amount outstanding under the facility at 31 March 2011 was €397 million (31 December 2010: €285 million).
On 2 February 2007 the Company signed a syndicated credit facility agreement of US\$ 1,180 million with a maturity of five years and two 364-day extension options exercisable prior to the first and the second anniversary of the facility. A total of fifteen Greek and international financial institutions have participated in the facility. The facility is guaranteed by the Parent Company and comprises of fixed term borrowings and revolving credit. In 2007 the Company exercised the first extension option of the facility to mature on 31 January 2013 to which all participating financial institutions have consented, except for one bank whose participation amounted to US\$ 20 million. The Company did not exercise the second extension option. The Euro equivalent of the total amount outstanding under the facility at 31 March 2011 was €834 million (31 December 2010: €875 million), of which short term revolving loans amounted to €470 million (31 December 2010: €499 million).
On 9 December 2009, the Company concluded a syndicated €250 million credit facility agreement with a maturity of three years and the possibility to increase the amount up to €350 million after syndication of the facility in the secondary market. On 11 February 2010 following successful syndication in the secondary market the credit facility amount was increased to €350 million. The facility is guaranteed by the Parent Company. The proceeds of the facility have been used to finance the acquisition of Hellenic Fuels S.A. (former BP Hellas S.A.) by Hellenic Petroleum International A.G. which is 100% owned by the Parent Company. The outstanding balance of the facility amounted to €350 million as at 31 March 2011 (31 December: €350million).
The total balance of HPF's bank borrowings as at 31 March 2011 amounted to the equivalent of € 1,6 billion. The proceeds of the aforementioned facilities have been used to provide loans to other Group companies.
On 26 May 2010, Hellenic Petroleum S.A. signed two loan agreements with the European Investment Bank for a total amount of €400 million (€200 million each). The loans have a maturity of 12 years. The purpose of the loans is to finance part of the investment programme relating to the upgrade of Elefsina Refinery. As at 31 March 2011, the outstanding loan balance amounted to €400 million.
The Group subsidiaries also have loans with various banks to cover their local financing needs. As at 31 March 2011, the outstanding loan balance amounted to approximately €0,8 billion.
In the context of managing risk resulting from the volatility in the inventory values of products and crude oil, the Group enters into derivative contracts. To the extent that these contracts are not designated as hedges, they are categorized as derivatives held-for-trading. The fair value of derivatives held-for-trading is recognized on the statement of financial position in "Trade and other debtors" and "Trade and other payables" if the maturity is less than 12 months and in "Loans, advances and other receivables" and "Other long term liabilities" if the maturity is more than 12 months. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives are charged to the Statement of comprehensive income either within Other (expenses)/income or Cost of sales. The instruments used for this risk management include commodity exchange traded contracts (ICE futures), full refinery margin forwards, product price forward contracts or options.
As part of managing operating and price risk, the Group engages in derivative transactions with 3rd parties with the intention of matching physical positions and trades or close proxies thereof and are therefore considered an integral part of "Cost of Sales". For the three months ended 31 March 2011 the amounts attributable to such derivatives were €7.410 loss (31 March 2010: €1.228 gain) included in "Cost of Sales".
In certain cases it may not be possible to achieve a fully matched position, in which case the impact can not be considered as a "Cost of Sales" component. The result from such derivative positions for the three-month period ended 31 March 2011 was €2.037 loss (31 March 2010: € 1.104 gain) and is shown under "Other operating (expenses) / income – net".
The Group uses derivative financial instruments to manage certain exposures to fluctuations in commodity prices. In this framework, the Group has entered into a number of commodity price swaps which have been designated by the Group as cash flow hedges, have been evaluated and proven to be highly effective, and in this respect, any changes in their fair value are recorded within Equity. Τhe fair value of the Commodity swaps at the end of the reporting period was recognised in "Long term derivatives", while changes in their fair value are recorded in reserves as long as the forecasted purchase of inventory is highly probable and the cash flow hedge is effective as defined in IAS 39.
When certain of the forecasted transactions cease to be highly probable, they are de-designated from cash flow hedges at which time amounts charged to reserves are transferred to the statement of comprehensive income within "other income/expense". For the three months to 31 March 2011 amounts transferred to the statement of comprehensive income for de-designated hedges amounted to €2.386 gain (31 March 2010: €569 gain) which relate to projected transactions for the Elefsina refinery upgrade in 2011. The remaining cash flow hedges are highly effective and the movement in the fair value of these derivatives, amounting to a loss of €88.355 net of tax (31 March 2010: €38 loss, net of tax), was transferred to the "Hedging Reserve".
The Group's maximum credit risk exposure for each derivative instrument at the reporting date is the fair value of the derivative assets and liabilities in the Statement of the financial position.

Total capital commitments for the Group amount to € 597 million (31 December 2010: €559 million), of which €433 million relate to the major upgrade projects in Elefsina and Thessaloniki.
The Group has contingent liabilities in respect of bank and other guarantees and other matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Provisions are set up by the Group against such matters whenever deemed necessary and included in other provisions (note 21). They are as follows:
Based on Art.5 of the Tax Law 3845/2010 (FEK 65A' – 6/5/2010), certain Group entities oaud special tax contribution in respect of profits of financial year 2009. Hellenic Petroleum S.A. has received the relevant assessment from the tax authorities indicating an obligation amounting to €26 million. However, the tax authorities' calculation was found to be incorrect and the company submitted the relevant supporting analyses for the calculation to be corrected. The overall provision for the Law 3845/2010 special tax contribution in the consolidated financial statements of the Group for 2010 amounted to €26 million and was based on the correct calculation of Hellenic Petroleum's special contribution which amounts to € 21 million.
Vardax S.A. was charged with an amount of €6 million in respect of VAT (including additional charges) following a temporary VAT tax audit for year 2005, as the tax auditor has considered that the company's activities should be subject to VAT. The company has paid this amount and included this in Other debtors since it has filed an appeal before the Administrative Court for the annulment of the above action. Management has obtained independent tax and legal advice that the company has correctly assessed that its
activity is not subject to VAT and, therefore, management believes that no further provisions should be made in the financial statements in connection with this matter
Management believes that no additional material liability will arise as a result of open tax years over and above the tax liabilities and provisions recognised in the financial statements.
A proposal to the AGM for an additional €0,30 per share as final dividend for 2009 (amounting to a total of €91.691) was approved by the Board of Directors on 25 February 2010 and the final approval was given by the shareholders at the AGM held on 2 June 2010. Furthermore, at its meeting held on 24 August 2010, during which the Board of Directors approved the condensed interim financial information of the Company for the six month period ended 30 June 2010, the Board proposed and approved an interim dividend for the 2010 financial year of €0,15 per share (amounting to a total of €45.845). The relevant amounts relating to the interim dividend for 2010 and the final dividend for 2009 have been included in these financial statements.
A proposal to the AGM for an additional € 0,30 per share as final dividend was approved by the Board of Directors on 24 February 2011. This amounts to €91.691 and is not included in these accounts as it has not yet been approved by the shareholders' AGM.
Interim dividend paid for the 2010 financial year led to additional taxes of €12.225 in the 2010 results. Tax law 3943/2011 changed the treatment of distributed earnings and in line with the relevant regulations the parent company will withhold – on behalf of shareholders that are subject to taxation – and pay 21% tax on the total dividend, following approval of the distribution of profits for financial year 2010 by the AGM.
