As far as the 1rst semester of the current year is concerned no such amounts have been booked.

Operating Performance – Important developments:

Wholesale of Electrical and Electronic Equipment, despite the fierce competition and the concentration of the specific segment has achieved strong sales growth, which is stemming from the Greek market and the remarkable sales performance in Romania.

The Group's Retail segments during the 1rst half of 2008 have continued to expand their network both in Greece and abroad. IKEA added a new Store in Egaleo, Attica which opened on Mar 26, 2008 and was warmly welcomed by the consumers. Consequently today are operating 3 IKEA Stores in Greece (Salonika, Athens Airport and Egaleo) and one in Cyprus.

An important contribution to the Warehousing and Logistics support of the IKEA operation will be provided by the newly formed (Mar 13, 2008) TRADE LOGISTICS S.A, the establishment of which followed the completion of an investment of €29,5 mil at Schimatari, Viotia.

During June 2008, HOUSEMARKET BULGARIA EAD was established at Sofia, Bulgaria in order to develop the local IKEA franchise. As a consequence a plot of about 60.000 sqr meters has been purchased at Vitosa area, in order to start building the IKEA Sofia Store.

Intesrport has already been established retailer in Greece with 26 stores and has also expanded its network at the Balkans, with 6 outlets in Romania and 1 in Bulgaria, along with 1 store in Cyprus. As far as the newly opened stores of 1 semester of 2008 are concerned, these are at Lamia (15/3/08), Alexandroupoli (21/6/08) for Greece and at Pitesti Romania with an opening on 26/6/08.

Stock Option Plan

Fourlis Holding S.A, following the approval of its General Assembly of June 30, 2008 has proceeded with a Stock Option Plan for its executives and the executives of its subsidiaries and affiliated companies. The General Assembly has authorized the Board of Directors to arrange all the procedural issues and materialize the Program.

At this point we should note that no provisions have been booked in relation to the Stock Option Plan for the 1rst semester of 2008, since the beneficiaries have not notified by the Company during that period and as such no obligation is valid. The Board of Directors during its 26/8/08 convention defined the Program's beneficiaries. The formal acceptance from the beneficiaries is expected within 2nd semester of 2008.

2 nd Semester Outlook

i. Group

Being based upon 1rst semester 2008 results we are optimistic for both the semester to follow but also for the future as well.

The international financial instability (increased cost of borrowing, slower GDP growth in the EU) along with the local financial issues that the Greek economy faces (GDP & House construction growth rates slow down, cost of borrowing, probable tax hikes and the impact from the ports strike) does not form the ideal business environment. Despite all the above we are confident that by being based upon the Group's comparative advantages (financial strength, experience in retail trading, the leading market positions of IKEA and Intersport, brand awareness and credibility of our Electric and Electronics brands and our Human capital) we will be in a position during the 2nd semester of 2008 to deliver in our development plan.

The company intends to sell it's remaining 10% shareholding of «DSGI SOUTH - EAST EUROPE A.E.B.E. » and the profits from the transaction will be included in the 2nd semester's reports.

ii. Wholesale of Electrical – Electronic Equipment

The segment's growth is estimated to be continued in the 2nd semester as well, through improved agreements with retail stores and with the continuing support of the brands' manufacturers (SAMSUNG, GENERAL ELECTRIC, and LIEBHERR). Those brands are currently holding leading market positions with their manufacturers being pioneers in innovative products.

iii. Retail Trading (IKEA & Intersport)

The above businesses investment plan is mainly focusing on the expansion of their retail network both in Greece and the Balkans.

In the near future new IKEA Stores will operate at Larissa, Ioannina and Sofia Bulgaria.

Additionally we have to note that in the 2nd semester of 2008 the contribution of the new, Egaleo, IKEA Store will be further increased as it will have a full 6 months of operation. Of significant importance is also the full operation of TRADE LOGISTICS S.A being the Warehouse and Logistics partner of HOUSE MARKET S.A. with the former contributing a lot towards the effective inventory management of IKEA operations.

In parallel to the above HOUSE MARKET S.A in co-operation with Millennium Bank has introduced the IKEA Card with benefits (lower rates) for its customers. The positive impact of the IKEA Card is estimated to be reflected during the 2nd semester of 2008.

Intersport will implement its development plan through new outlet openings in Greece, Romania and Bulgaria. In Xanthi the new store is under construction with a foreseen opening target date in Q3 2003.

Additionally within the 2nd semester of 2008 another Intersport outlet is estimated to operate, at Menidi, Attica. In relation to the Balkans the plan is for 2 more outlets in Romania and another one in Bulgaria.

Fourlis Group – Major Threats & Uncertainties

The Group is exposed to financial risks such as foreign exchange risk, credit risk and interest rate risk. The management of risk is achieved by the central Treasury department, which operates using specific guidelines set by the Board of Directors. The Treasury department identifies, determines and hedges the financial risks in co-operation with the other departments that face these risks. The Board of Directors provides written instructions and directions for the general management of the risk, as well as specific instructions for the management of specific risks such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and credit risk.

Foreign Exchange Risk

The Group is subject to foreign exchange risk arising for its transactions in foreign currencies (USD, SEK) with suppliers which invoice the Group in currencies other than in Euro. The Group, in order to minimize the foreign exchange risk, in certain cases pre-purchases foreign currencies. The Group has investments in companies overseas, the net assets of which are subject to foreign exchange risk. This type of foreign exchange risk (translation risk) arises due to the operations in Romania in the local currency (RON). Management has kept the foreign exchange risk in Romania to a minimum via loans in RON.

Credit risks

The Group is subject to credit risk arising from the electrical and electronic appliances sector and is due to the collection of receivables in accordance with the customers' credit terms. The Group implements a strict credit policy which is monitored and evaluated constantly in order to ensure that each customer's balance does not exceed the granted credit limit. Furthermore, the majority of receivables are secured via entering into insurance contracts.

Interest rate risk

The Group is subject to cash flow risk which in the case of possible variable interest rates fluctuation, may affect positively or negatively the cash inflows or outflows related to the Group's assets or liabilities. Cash flow risk is minimized via the availability of adequate credit lines.

Corporate Social responsibility

The Group fosters the principles of social responsibility, complies fully with current legislation with respect to protection of the environment and participates in the recycling of polluting and harmful to the environment materials programs.

With respect to social issues, the Group contributes by volunteering in blood donor programs and rewards its employees for their volunteer efforts.

Worth noting is the Group initiative for the limited use of non recycled paper and its replacement with recycled one.

The recycling programme which will commence on September 2008 and will include all Group companies, ranges from the gradual use of solely recycled paper, the establishment of recycle points and collaboration with Recycling companies to the continuous employee education and encouragement for participation in similar initiatives, and in general of being Socially Responsible.

The Group initiatives related to SCR will continue through ensuring funds from the companies' budgets.

The Board of Directors

To the Shareholders'

FOURLIS A.E. HOLDING

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed balance sheet of FOURLIS A.E. HOLDING (the "Company") as of 30 June 2008 and the related stand alone and consolidated condensed statements of income, changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month period then ended and the selected explanatory notes, which comprise the condensed interim financial information and which forms an integral part of the six-month financial report of article 5 of Law 3556/2007. Company's management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim condensed financial information in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standard adopted by the European Union applicable to interim financial information (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" as provided by the Greek Auditing Standards. 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 condensed interim financial information as of 30 June 2008 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards adopted by the European Union applicable to interim financial information (IAS 34).

Emphasis of matter

Without qualifying our review report we wish to draw your attention to the Note 10 of the condensed interim financial information which says that the tax obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries for various years have not been examined by the tax authorities and consequently their tax obligations relating to these years has not yet been conclusively determined. The outcome of the tax audit can not be determined at this time.

Report to other legal and regulatory requirements

Further to the above condensed interim financial information we have also reviewed the additional information included in the six-month financial report issued in accordance with article 5 of Law 3556/2007 and the relevant decisions of the Capital Market Commission. Based on our review the above report includes all the information required by the relevant legislation and

decisions and that information is consistent with the accompanying interim condensed financial information.
