2. Basis of preparation

The attached Interim Parent Company and Consolidated Financial Statements (herein referred to as the "Financial Statements") have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 "Interim Financial Reporting".

3. Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies and valuation methods adopted and followed are the same as those in the published Financial Statements as at 31/12/2006.

For purposes of better information, specific accounts of the interim financial statements have been reclassified and the respective accounts of the previous financial period have been reformed accordingly for comparison reasons.

4. Management's estimates

The preparation of interim financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions, which may affect the amounts recorded as assets, liabilities, income and expenses during the period, as well as the disclosures for contingent assets and liabilities. The use of available information and the application of judgment are an integral part in the determination of estimates. The actual final outcomes may vary from the above estimates.

Management's estimates are constantly re-evaluated in accordance with historical data and future expectations, and are judged in accordance with present conditions.
