Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements (the ¨Financial Statements¨) of AUTOHELLAS S.A.(HERTZ), (the Company) which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 December 2006, and the income statement, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management's is responsible for the preparation and the fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, that have been adopted by the European Union. This responsibility includes: designing, implementing, and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud and error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Greek Auditing Standards, which are based on International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management , as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the accompanying Financial Statements give a true and fair view, of the financial position of the Company as of 31 December 2006, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, that have been adopted by the European Union.
Emphasis of Matter

2. Accounting Policies
2.1. Basis for preparation of the financial statements.
The consolidated financial statements of AutoHellas A.T.E.E., are covering the accounting period of 2006. They have been compiled based on IAS, that have been adopted by the European Union. The policies mentioned below have been consistently applied throughout all the periods of 2006.
The company and consolidated financial statements, have been compiled based on the Greek Accountant Standards until 31.12.2004. These Accountant Standards differ in certain regions from the IAS.
Both Company and consolidated financial statements, have been reported according to the Greek accounting standards up to the year 2004. Since there are essential differences between the Greek standards and the IFRS, for comparison reasons, figures for 2004 have been reported according the IFRS accounting principles and standards.
Current financial statements, have been reported using the historical cost method, with the exception of financial assets available for sale, which were valued at their fair value with changes recognized on the income statement.
The compilation of financial statements according to IAS requires the use of estimates and judgments during the application of the company's accounting principles.
2.2. New Standards - interpretations
• New standards
a) In August 2005 IASB issued IFRS 7 « Financial means: Announcements » mandatory from 01.01.2007. β) In November 2006, IASB issued IFRS 8 « mandatory operating segments» from 01.01.2009.
The application of the above standards is not expected to have any impact on the balance sheet figures or the results, since they refer to announcements and not changes in the initial recognition and evaluation of assets and liabilities.
• New interpretations
- Interpretation 7 : Applying the restatement approach under IAS 29 financial reporting in hyperinflationary economies (from 01.01.2007)
- Interpretation 8 : Scope of IFRS 2 (from 01.01.2007)
Interpretation 9 : Reassessment of embedded derivatives (from 01.01.2007)
Interpretation 10 : Intermediate financial reporting and devaluation (From 01.01.2007)
Interpretation 11 : IFRS 2 Own shares transactions between 2 companies that are part of the same group $(01.01.2008)$
Interpretation 12 : Concession contracts (01.01.2008)
Based on carrent facts the above interpretations will be in effect for both the Company and the Group.
2.3. Consolidation - Subsidiaries and Associates valuation
The purchase method has been used for the consolidated financial statements. The acquisition cost of a subsidiary is the fair value of the assets, the shares issued and the liabilities undertaken on the date of the acquisition, plus any cost directly associated with the transaction. The individual assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that are acquired during a business combination are valued during the acquisition at their fair value regardless of the participation percentage. The acquisition cost over and above the fair value of the individual assets acquired, is booked as goodwill. If the total cost of the acquisition is lower than the fair value of the individual assets acquired, the difference is immediately booked to the results.
Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized profits between Group Companies are written-off. Unrealized losses are also written-off as long as there is no indication of impairment of the transferred asset. The accounting principles of the subsidiaries conform to the ones adopted by the group.
Associates are companies on which the group can exert significant influence (but not control), with a holding of between 20% and 50% of the company's voting rights. Investments in associates are valued using the equity method and are initially recognized at cost. The account investment in associates includes the goodwill less any decrease in its value.
The group's share in the profits or losses of associated companies after the acquisition is recognized in the income statement, while the share of changes in reserves after the acquisition is recognized in the reserves. When the group's share in the losses of an associate is equal than its participation in the associate, then, no further losses are recognized, unless further commitments have been made on behalf of the associate.
Participants of the parent company in subsidiaries and associates are valued at cost less any decrease in value.

32. Detailed accounting estimations
32.1. Fixed tangible assets useful lives
The company's management is responsible for determining the useful lives and hence the rate by which the tangible assets will be depreciated.
Due to the nature of the company's activities, no substantial change in the useful life estimation is expected. Management will increase depreciation when useful lives become smaller than previous estimations, or will decrease the assets value when they have been technologically devaluated or when the assets become of less importance or are abandoned or are about to be sold.
